Love Vania
Birthday Gift
"nak Vania" said Ms. Wati a little surprised to see Vania who was accompanied by Nadya.
"mother" call Vania. He hugged Ditya's mother and shed his sorrow. Her tears fell while hugging Wati's mom. It was as if he was venting all the feelings he had been feeling all along.
"calm down baby, don't be sad continue. Ditya was happy there, no longer feel pain" said Ms. Wati while rubbing Vania's hair. He tried to strengthen Vania's heart even though he was himself so fragile.
Vania let go of her embrace and looked at Ms. Wati with sadness. "i will try to be strong like mom and dad" she said slowly.
Ms. Wati smiled at Vania's words. Then he invited the two girls to sit down.
Ms. Wati returned to the kitchen to serve drinks to both guests. He brought back two glasses of warm tea placed on a tray.
"please drink son" said Ms. Wati as she placed the glass in front of her guests
"thank you ma'am" said Nadya
"mother doesn't have to bother" said Vania
"it's just warm tea, I don't bother at all. I'm just happy with your arrival"
"mom, after yesterday's incident, how can it be this loud and strong, please tell Vania, Vania also wants to be as strong as mother" asked Vania curiously.
"mother has let her go, son, and again all because of the new son of mother. His presence can be a remedy for mother's grief. But that doesn't mean she's 100% in Ditya's favor in mom's heart. Ditya remains the biological child of the mother who will forever be remembered" said Ms Wati
"mother's son?" ask Vania again
"yes son"
"isn't she an only child?"
"yes right. It was our only child. And we raised a man to be our son and Ditya's sister because he was 1 year older"
"when was mom? Ditya never told Vania"
"not too long, son, since he got sick. He's the one who financed Ditya's treatment, he's the one who guaranteed our economy so we could open a business like this"
"then now he where mom" because since earlier did not see anyone else in the house other than Ms. Wati and Mr. Yanto who were serving buyers in the shop.
"he has returned abroad to continue his studies"
"Vania doesn't understand ma'am any more, what do you mean?"
"the story is long, son"
Bu Wati began to tell about the figure of his new son, from the beginning of meeting until he had to part for a while with Devan.
"early mother brought him here mother was surprised it turns out he and Ditya know each other, even he also know you"
"know me?" ask Vania.
"yes son, even during the recitation, he's always here"
Vania is increasingly curious about the figure told by Ms. Wati. Yes, when the study show Vania more down and just focus on her own mind about Ditya. Vania no longer cared about the surroundings. Even he was unaware of Devan's presence which kept paying attention to him.
"can Vania know the guy?"
"while I was looking for her picture" said Ms. Wati while opening a gallery on Ditya's mobile phone which now belongs to her. Ms. Wati deliberately asked Devan to send her photos before going abroad as a cure for her longing.
After finding the photo he was looking for, he showed the phone to Vania.
"you have to be strong, don't continue like this" Nadya said softly.
Vania turned to Nadya and nodded slowly. He wiped away the tears on his cheek with his left hand.
Vania started staring at the photo on the phone that was in her right hand. He kept watching the figure in the photo. That person was like no stranger to him. Only his body turned athletic and dashing.
"sister Devan, yes no" whispered Nadya who also noticed. However, that voice could still be heard by Ms. Wati.
"it seems so, but it's probably only similar because of the many changes in the photo" Vania said.
Bu Wati who heard the conversation of the two girls just smiled. They seemed to not believe that Devan was Ditya's foster brother.
"you're right, he wants Devan" said Ms. Wati.
Nadya's face was radiant after learning of the news. He can't wait to say all this to his lover Andre.
"why is everything so coincidental. The world is so narrow. May they be a match" Nadya's inner self-smiles.
"Nad, why are you smiling to yourself?'
"eh no really, why does the world feel so narrow yes, it turns out we know the adoptive son of the mother" said Nadya.
"He who always strengthens the mother with all her affection. He does not discriminate even though we are not. That's what makes me love her more"
"in a moment, I have something for you" said the mother as she moved and walked towards Ditya's room
Shortly thereafter Wati ma'am came out of Ditya's room with a medium-sized box wrapped like a gift and a ribbon on it.
"this is from Ditya, he prepared it after the initial sentence of brain cancer. He said it's for Vania's birthday gift later. But now that Ditya is gone, I leave it now" he said, handing the box over to Vania.
Vania received the box. He kept looking at his lover's gift. Her tears came back. Since Ditya died, Vania was easy to shed tears. Hurriedly he rubbed it because he did not want to get sadder.
"write it later when it's home" added Ms. Wati.
"well ma'am, then we'll excuse you" said Vania
"frequently come here. Mother already considers you as a mother's own daughter" said Ms. Wati.
Vania nodded slowly.
The three of them stood up from their seats. Vania and Nadya walked closer to Ms. Wati.
Ms. Wati embraces the girl's body. "mother can be sincere, son, you should be so, do not linger with your sadness. Open your heart to others. There are still many men in this world who sincerely love you like Ditya" said Ms. Wati who unconsciously shed her tears after a few days can be toughened.
"well ma'am, I understand" Vania said as she loosened her embrace.
Vania said goodbye to Wati ma'am and Yanto sir who just returned from the stall located in front of the house.
They delivered the departure of their guests to the yard.
"you're on a motorcycle?" asked Bu Wati because he saw a matic motorbike parked in the yard.
"iya ma'am, Vania was piggybacked by Nadya. Kan Vania can't ride a bike" Vania said
"yes, you are careful" said Ms. Wati who was answered by nods by the two girls
