I am fascinated by the beauty of my mother.
" Dt..." Mom's voice ripped my daydream.
" Ehm. come in mi." I let mom in.
The traitor came in even though I didn't tell him to.
" Where's papi?" Ask mama.
" It's in the room, ma." I took my mom to Papi's room.
I opened the door, looking as if papi was lying weakly on the bed.
" Mad." said mami sadly.
Mami closed her mouth, not believing the condition of papi.
" Why is papi like this?"
I looked at my mom without a smile. I want to curse my mom today.
But I can't do this now for papi's sake. Yep. All I did was for papi. Papi's happiness is everything.
I'm approaching papi, "pi get up! Mama has come. I managed to get mommy to our house pi." I said with a loud voice. Honestly coming mami and mas Dani to this house makes my old wounds exposed again.
Papi opened his eyes slowly.
" he..." Call papi weak.
" Mi, here." I called my mom to get closer.
Mom walked closer to papi. I don't know what made my mom cry.
" Mas.." said mami sobbing.
" Amu emana ja." said papi in a language that sometimes only I understand.
" You've been anywhere." I translated papi.
" I'm sorry.sorry.I'm sorry..."
Mami seemed unable to speak, all this time only an apology came out of my mouth. Is mom sorry now?
I have no power to be between the two of them. I chose to leave that room.
Only Dani caught me crying.
" Dit, I'm sorry.." All of a sudden Dani's already by my side.
I'm getting more and more reluctant to hear an apology from Mas Dani.
" I promise Dit, for your sake I will make mami to make papi seat. But please Dit, don't make me part with your mom. I love your mom, Dit."
So surprised I heard the traitorous male descendant who was in front of me.
" Dit, I love a woman who's a lot older than before."
Plaque! I slapped the traitor next to me.
" Shut your mouth! If you love a middle-aged woman, that doesn't mean you can love my mother. Now you see, my papi is sick, look now!" Shake me to my ex-husband.
" I know Dit" Mas Dani pulled her hair. He seems frustrated by this complicated situation.
Dani and I cried together, not realizing that my mother was between us.
" Why are you guys?"
I quickly wiped my wet face.
" You cry?" Ask mommy full of questions.
My mom looked at me in turn.
Mami ducks, hugs me tight.
" I'm sorry for the mistakes of mami and mas Dani, yes. Because of our ego, you and papi have to bear all the consequences. Mami and Mas Dani love each other, and now she is pregnant with the fruit of our love. I hope you can accept this fate, Dit. Mami promised to help you take care of papi. Mami's appointment Dit. Papi has eaten and has taken medicine, hopefully papi will heal quickly. Mami has to go home now, mami and papi are no longer married, all you can do is visit this house if needed."
I looked at their departure with lara's heart.
I should have understood from the beginning, mami and papi could not reunite even though papi cried blood though.
And today I am determined not to ask my mother to visit this house.
***
Days change, I patiently take care of papi. Countless in a day, whether how many times papi angry, mugging is not clear. It was also incalculable, how many plates and glasses broke due to papi's unstable emotions.
Many times my head is subjected to papi's anger. One day, when I refused Papi's request to meet his mother, he threw a glass at me. Late to dodge, until my head hurt by a glass.
I want to feel tired to papi, but as the only child, I have to take care of papi.
Today the health of papi began to improve, papi can walk, papi can already speak clearly. Doctor Alfan is the best doctor I know. I often ask Doctor Alfan about papi pain. And Alhamdulillah, Doctor Alfan always gives me advice that makes me strong.
After returning home from the hospital, Papi rested in the room. While I still have to take off the house. It has been a year papi sick, our savings also began to thin. The cost of papi medicine is not cheap, added to the needs of both of us. I want to go back to work, but I haven't had the heart to leave papi alone at home. Maybe later after papi's health is better.
Tok.dok..
There was a sound at the door.
Who's on the table? I peeked out from behind the horden.
Oh Allah.How surprised I am, there is Doctor Alfan in front of the house.
What the hell is going on? My heart is beating erratically.
" Ashalamu'alaikum.. Confiscated.." Doctor Alfan called my name from the outside.
With heavy steps I opened the door.
" Hey, Dit." Greet Doctor Alfan.
" Hi Doc. Please come in."
Doctor Alfan and I sat in the living room.
" Em. I'm sorry Doc, if I may know what to do, Doc?"
" I .. want to get to know you more closely. Papi you're done with control, so I may never see you again." Doctor Alfan.
" The doctor could." Answer me shyly.
" Dit, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
" What do doctors mean?" I pretended to be stupid.
" There's no need to pretend to be stupid, Dit. You and I are both grown up. You understand what I mean." Said Doctor Alfan without a stale base.
I was confused. What should I answer? Is it that fast that doctor Alfan has a taste for me?
" How's Dit?" Doctor Alfan was getting impatient waiting for my answer.
" We just go for what Doc is. A lot of things the doctor doesn't know about my life are also about my status."
" you mean?"
" I'm a widow Doc. Many people cannot accept that. And I'm sure the doctors will think twice about making me a son-in-law."
" Y-so you're a widow?" Doctor Alfan asked in disbelief.
" Yes, what I said is true."
" O.ok, assume my words weren't right. Sorry, I have to go home now because there is..."
" Please come out, Doc. My door is still open." Cold speech.
Without further ado, the handsome Doctor Alfan came out of my house. Without waiting for it to pass, I immediately closed the door of this house tightly.
Huh. So hard my life. Is the widow's status a disgrace? Even I bear the status of a widow is not my wish. There are women who want to be widows. It is fate that makes women widows.
I'm thankful I haven't been in love with Doctor Alfan. He is handsome and educated, but that does not guarantee a person to have morals.
Allahs... I'm so tired...
