LOVED MY STEPFATHER

DISAPPOINTED WITH SINTA

Inside her room Grandma Wati fell silent as she looked at her face into the reflection of the glass mirror inside her room. The face that was once young and beautiful is now wrinkled, and aging. There was a tinge of sadness emanating from his face. After accidentally hearing the conversation between Mukid and his granddaughter, Sinta. Grandma Wati was completely unexpected and completely shocked. His heart still felt pain and tightness after hearing their talk. But Grandma Wati will not blame anyone here. Their incident was not on purpose but the freedom and way of dating Sinta is very unfortunate by Grandma Wati. In fact, they have had a husband-and-wife relationship before they were completely annulled in a marriage. That's what makes Grandma Wati sad about it all. Though Sinta from a small was also given guidelines and guidance of religious values. But after knowing love and the opposite sex, become complacent and follow the desires and desires of his lust.

" Sinta, how unfortunate your fate is!" muttered Grandma Wati.

Grandma Wati started performing dawn prayers. Grandma Wati begged forgiveness for herself, her family who had committed sins whether intentional, unintentional or forgotten. Details of her tears dripping in both corners of her eyes whose facial skin was already wrinkling. Recalling Sinta's cheerful and innocent attitude, her grandson apparently harbored bitterness in her life. What an action that makes Grandma Wati very disappointed with Sinta is to kill a fetus that has not had time to live in the world. The act of aborting the womb that for Grandmother Wati is an act that is truly hated by God who gives life and breathes the soul or life in His creature. Either redemption or forgiveness of sins until some time will be borne by Sinta. Or maybe his descendants will. Perhaps Sinta will have to accept all punishment for her actions of killing even unborn babies in this world. Although the age of the baby is counted there is not one month of age. If it has been four months it means the baby has been given a soul or life. It means it really killed a soul.

Grandma Wati came out of her room and headed to the kitchen. He had to help his housekeeper to prepare breakfast for Maimunah and also his son-in-law, Mukid. Maimunah and Mukid will fly to Jakarta this morning at ten. Grandma Wati started making her favorite yellow rice. The tastes of Maimunah and Sinta are not much different. Both of them love that delicious rice.

Suddenly Sinta came to greet Grandma Wati who was making omelettes for yellow rice side dishes.

" Grandma! What breakfast is this morning?" said Sinta while kissing the right and left cheeks of Wati's grandmother. Grandma Wati is still disappointed and sad with Sinta for all she heard last night when in the third night when the conversation with Mukid and Sinta was unintentional.

" Why is Grandma silent? Grandma again thrush yah?" sinta Goda.

" Sit down, don't disturb Grandma! You just eat the pudding made by grandma for you in the fridge" said Grandma Wati. Sinta immediately opened the fridge and picked up the rest of the pudding that was still there. It was he who ate it last night with Mukid.

" This pudding tastes really good" Sinta said as she scooped the pudding into her mouth.

" If you like, grandma will make it for you again" said Grandma Wati.

" Thank you very much, Grandma. But I like chocolate better than mango or cherry" said Sinta.

" There, ten o'clock. Then I take a shower first" said Sinta as she rushed up the stairs to her room.

" Love! Do not forget to wake your mom and tell her to come down for breakfast. He has to leave quickly for the airport." cried Grandma Wati.

" Yes, grandma!" sahut Sinta did not lose the loudness of his voice.

Before Sinta entered her room, Sinta knocked on the door of the room occupied by her mother and Mukid.

Geck.

Geck.

Geck.

" Mama! Mama told grandma to come down for breakfast!" shouted Sinta because the door has not been opened by its occupants. Suddenly the door opened and Mukid opened the door.

" Mama is there? He was told to come down and have breakfast with his grandmother. And said grandma mama and also om Mukid. Uh Mukid's father has to get to the airport" Sinta said. Sinta rushed to leave Mukid who was still standing looking at Sinta. No words from Mukid's lips. Mukid looked at Sinta with a flat expression. I don't know where Sinta's mom was then, it might still be a bath.

Sinta immediately took a shower and tidied herself up. Today he has a morning class at ten o'clock. That means he can still take mom to the airport. But Sinta was reluctant to deliver them. But if it does not deliver them it will create suspicion and prejudice that is not good from the mother and grandmother of Wati.
