The gaze of a Mayasari, now empty staring at the derived street of his house located in the hills of the end of the village. The past few days, Maya's time was spent just daydreaming, thinking about the many things Darmadji had offered her.
Days have passed, Maya spent by brushing off all her heart trying to betray her. His mouth said no, rejecting any tantalizing offer from Adi. But in fact, Maya's heart seemed to cheer happily at the offer.
"Maya, you've spent a week alone without doing much. Try to do a busy activity so you don't daydream much, "How many times, Fatma's voice persuaded Maya.
"What do I do, Mom? I don't want to do anything" Maya said as she was.
"If you really object, just refuse because I'm not forcing you. But if you really want to give Ditya a chance, then yes. Do not waste your time with this useless thing," said Fatma later, while sitting next to the only princess.
"I'm confused, ma'am," Maya said softly.
"What are you confused about? Now Mother replied, is your love still intact for Aditya?" ask Fatma lekat.
Fatma shifted, approaching Maya to hear clearly the answer from her daughter.
"Maybe. But I'm still hurt, don't take it when Ditya calls me a whore," this is what made Maya not accept until now.
Forgiveness, in fact, is not as easy as Maya said it.
"Ditya did it out of jealousy. You should have realized that. Listen mom," Fatma lifted Maya's chin, to look at her serious neutrality, "she's crazy to say it, because you don't want to be close to another man. You can hate it, but you have to think about the good side as well. Don't look at things only from one direction, but look the other way so you don't embrace regret anymore."
As a mother, of course Fatma wants the best for Maya.
"How old are you now, Maya? You're almost three-headed, but you're still cool on your own, struggling with the nightworld to support Mom and Gavin. It's time, you think about your happiness, and start opening new sheets. There's no harm in you giving him a chance. Darmadji's family, I think they're serious about their offer" Fatma later said.
"It won't be that easy that Ditya can get Maya, Mom. Maya's wounds are too deep" Maya timps calmly.
The woman's eyes remained blank staring at the valley of the village. There were some people passing by, although the morning was still really cold.
"Mom doesn't know how anymore, Maya. I don't blame you if you reject Aditya. I know how much you've suffered. It's just that I'm dropping, don't let because of Adi Darmadji's proposal, you forget your obligations as a mother," Fatma said, before leaving Maya for the kitchen.
Maya thought that it was true what her mother said. Doesn't he have to take a firm step? So if he still hurt Aditya, why did his chest feel tight when he said no to Ditya, as it is today?
"Mother, I .. There came Aunt Sherla with apples and mangoes. Me, can I come with Aunt Sherla?" gavin asked suddenly, surprising Maya who was dissolved in her daydream.
"Did? Aunt Sherla? Where's where?" ask Maya then, wrong way of herself.
"Ahead. He said ..em, he said he'd pick up Gavin. Can you?" ask the boy timidly.
Red T-shirts and black shorts, when Maya once bought them for Gavin. What is clear is that Gavin is wearing right now, Maya never knew Gavin was wearing it before.
"Gavin, whose shirt is this?" tanya Maya pointed at her son, ignoring Gavin's previous question.
"This is Aunt Sherla who bought it. Gavin please, don't be told to take off, will you? Gavin likes his shirt" said the boy
Do not ask how the heart of the child, seems to want to jump because the pound is so tight.
"All right, no problem. But next time, don't accept anything, from anyone, without Mom's permission. This time I'm sorry, and allow it," said Maya, "let's go ahead to see Aunt Sherla."
"Maya, sit down here first. I want to cook, see doctor Aditya and his sister to talk," said Fatma as she stood up, without waiting for an answer from Maya.
Maya took a deep breath, along the dark story of her who until now became a reason for her own fear, to accept Adi Darmadji's offer.
"When are you coming, doctor?" maya asks Ditya, and Sherla turns.
This time, Maya is already more relaxed and calm facing Aditya, or whoever it is a member of the Darmadji family.
"Just now, come right here because my mom told me to. How are you doing with your family?" ask Ditya.
Indeed, the question, not just a mere pleasantry, but pure curiosity. Seeing Maya fit like this, Aditya gave a lot of gratitude in his heart. It's just that Maya's heart is still as frozen as the North Pole.
"Well," Maya answered briefly, "how's Miss Nyah doing?"
"All healthy," replied Ditya, no less short anyway.
"Sir Maya, may I invite Gavin to play with us? Me, I want to take Gavin to our house and meet with Dad and Mom," Sherla this time, breaks the brief silence that ensued.
"I don't want Gavin to meet often and visit there, I'm sorry" Maya replied, still freezing her heart and firm on the initial decision.
Both Ditya and Sherla looked at each other. Both were astonished what Maya's hard heart was made of.
"Why, Maya? I don't think it's a problem that Gavin comes along and comes home often. Gavin my son, he's my flesh and blood. Biologically, he's my son" Ditya said slowly.
Fatma appears, bringing two glasses of warm tea for Ditya and Sherla.
"You're nothing to me, doctor. Please understand," replied Maya, firmly do not want to be denied. Honey, Aditya is as stubborn as Maya.
"And you rejected my proposal for me. What the fuck, Maya?" Aditya raised next to his eyebrows.
"I had good intentions to marry you, you refused and didn't give Gavin permission to come with me under the pretext that I was nothing to me. Tell me, how should I be responsible for your injuries and Gavin's? Am I wrong if I want to make you happy in the future? Tell me, where's my fault?"
All over Maya's body feels tremor. He was confused, what answer would be appropriate to chimed in Aditya's sentence.
"I'm sorry, Miss Fatma, sorry if I made you uncomfortable. But really, I did intend to be good when I wanted to bring Gavin home. Truly, there was no ill intention that I had designed for a purpose," Aditya looked at Fatma with disdain.
"I'm sorry Maya, Ditya's doctor," Fatma was as unhappy as Ditya.
"We say thank you, thank you" said Ditya later, leaving Gavin and looking at him nanar, while two cups of warm tea made by Fatma were not gulped at all.
This time, guilt instead lodged in Maya's heart. So with the decision and determination that came spontaneously, Maya said, "wait. All right, I'll let Gavin come with you, Doctor Aditya. But not until evening, or past dusk today," Maya said.
Maya begins to lose her mind.
