Bram drives El to his house, but Bram does not stop by, fearing that he has found himself out with El at the cafe. Surely Dila would be angry with him if he found out if the DNA test results that he had stored had changed hands, and El who stored it.
But for Bram, it was El who was most entitled to keep the letter. El is entitled to keep the truth about him, it is up to El to destroy the letter or keep it, or keep it, what is clear now Bram feels calmer because the child concerned with the letter he saved already knows the truth.
" Thank you for the ride, and thank you for the information".
El got out of Bram's car and went into his house, his hands full of grocery bags under him from his grandmother's house.
Bram waved his hand as he drove forward his car. Smile from the faces of the two who both feel relieved. It was as if a heavy burden had lifted.
" Where den El?, bring lots of things right let you bring in" said the security guard offering help.
El was happy to hand over his luggage to the security guard to be brought in, after the security guard closed the gate again, arriving at the house El immediately met with Miss Dila and Arsy who were busy playing together.
Arsy was busy playing miniature animals, El's former toy when he was a child. It turned out that it was still stored and still good, so Dila did not need to buy it anymore.
Dila was seen staring at El with a full gaze of inquiry, it turns out that Dila actually knew El had met with Bram at the cafe, and he was, because one of his fellow teachers at the Elementary School where he taught had seen El go into the cafe alone.
And then Dila asked her friend for help, to watch El and ask her friend to take a picture when El met someone who made a pact with her, and it turned out that person was Bram. Dila already thought this would happen sooner or later. El is the type of smart child, if you want to know something for sure he will continue to find out, before his curiosity is answered, El will definitely not stop.
But even though Dila knew El made a pact with Bram, Dila let him. Maybe it's time El should know the truth about her, as a mother who is very familiar with the character of her child, Dila is sure El will be able to understand why all this time mother, father, father, and, and also her grandmother kept it a secret about the truth. All of that was solely because of his great affection for El.
" From grandma's house until the afternoon, she said you were home around 03:00, did you stop by somewhere?", Dila asked El, deliberately, trying to test his honesty. Is El going to tell you the truth, or is he looking for another reason.
El is seen sitting next to Dila, "Right El stopped by somewhere first Mom, because there's something El has to do".
" The important thing is now El has arrived home safely, it's proof that El has grown up, right, Mom?, because he can go to his own grandmother's house, can also go home safely. From now on I don't have to worry if El has to travel alone".
El did not lie to Dila, he said he stopped by somewhere. Although the honesty he said was only half, because the rest remained silent and did not say where he went and met with whom, but Dila would not force for El to tell everything at this time. Maybe El also intends not to tell Dila and his family if in fact he already knows the truth about himself who is not Indra's biological child.
Maybe El was trying to respect Dila and the others' decision to keep the truth a secret. If it was the best according to the parents, El did not mind at all to pretend not to know the truth about him.
" So the mother's son now feels he's grown. I don't have to worry anymore if El goes-away alone, which is important El tell Mom where to go, and don't forget to bring a cell phone so El can tell Mom every time, let me not worry" said Dila, and El immediately nodded obediently.
" Where is El from?", it turns out Indra had come home from the office, and had heard the conversation Dila and El just now.
El and Dila looked at the same time when they heard Indra's voice from behind them. How can the sound of Indra's steps not be heard at all, even though Indra wears pantofel shoes that sound quite loud if stepping on the floor.
Dila had no intention of telling her husband if El had actually met Bram, and already knew all about his own secrets.
" Uh.... Father has gone home, anu. this morning El said to go to the grandmother's house because he wanted to take souvenirs that yesterday put in his suitcase grandmother, grandmother, but this morning Arsy was fussy so Mom couldn't go to Grandma's house. El went alone on an online motorcycle taxi, and this just came home because it turned out to be right until the grandmother's house, Fatma's grandmother was sick again and asked to be served lunch with El, El, that's why El went home until the afternoon", El tried to explain briefly.
" Is Grandma really sick?, what pain?, why didn't Grandpa tell Dad that Grandma was sick?", Indra asked El.
" El has offered to contact the doctor to get grandma checked, but said the grandmother is now better because she has taken the medicine supplies at home, he said, just soy sauce and need rest, said grandma Yah.", explained El.
Indra nodded in understanding, "Try my father phone grandma, now I go to the room first to clean up the body so you can play with you guys. Dad's skin is so sticky. It had done nothing to the development of hotel development in North Jakarta. It was very hot there" Indra said as she walked to her room.
Indeed, the hotel in North Jakarta is doing renovation by adding several floors to the top. Because the land on the right and left side can not be purchased, but because the hotel there is quite crowded who stay and need to add rooms, finally construction is done to the top, aka add to the floor of the building.
" El to the room first to put these things yes Ma'am..sama want to take a shower also like dad, later El here again to play with Arsy".
Dila nodded inviting El to her room. Now for Dila there was already nothing more to worry about.
El already knew the secret about himself. Dila did not need to tell El, and would remain silent in the future. Indra and his parents also did not mind El who was not their flesh and blood.
The fear and worry that Dila had previously felt, had now all disappeared by itself. There was no longer any strangeness in Dila's heart.
Now just continue to live as usual, be a good wife for Indra, be a good mother for El and Arsy. And become a devoted child to his parents and also his in-laws.
Maybe this is the fruit of the struggle that has been done so far. Starting from the dream of wanting to raise the degree of family life by migrating to a big city.
Meet very good friends and support her when she is at her lowest point. Meet his soul mate overseas. And like a buy one get one, Dila also got the bonus of a very smart and obedient son. Now he himself has a daughter, not to mention his ambition to become a teacher has been achieved. Plus the bonus of passing the selection to be a civil servant.
In his life Dila has felt very lucky, because the Almighty gave everything he expected in the past.
Even though everything that happens is beyond his shadow and expectations when young. Like his current residence away from his parents' house, a husband who had never imagined would be her husband, because the person who imagined being her husband is now his brother-in-law.
And the story of a life full of twists from the beginning of his determination to do overseas. Make Dila sometimes want to laugh alone if you have to remember the flash back of his life in the past.
Very different life 180° from his life while in the village. But Dila did not deny, the life that is now much better than his life when he was in the village. Even Dila did not need to live life with the pain again like before.
And now live enjoying the results of his life struggle, happy with a husband and children are funny.
" Why smile yourself dear.?.?, is there anything funny?", Indra sat next to Dila and embraced Dila while observing Arsy who was busy playing miniature animals.
" No papa Mas, just feel lucky to be your wife, thank you Mas has been patiently waiting for me who had run away from this house", Dila leaned her head on Indra's shoulders.
Indra smiled meaningfully, "It is precisely Mas who should be grateful because you want to be Mas's wife, and Mas must also thank El, because of her
it was you who first wanted to accept Mas's proposal".
Dila and Indra looked at each other lovingly. Behind them El smiled gratefully at being given a loving, happy and warm family.
