LOVED MY STEPFATHER

CHALKED

The custom of Sinta is always waking up at one third of the night, before dawn. Moreover, Sinta was currently back in her room and at her house. Anxious of course that felt Sinta, especially now in the house there is also Radit, although separate rooms.

Sinta woke up from her sleep because she felt hungry at three in the morning. Sinta got out of her bedroom and out of her room. Sinta started down the stairs and immediately headed for the kitchen and opened the refrigerator there. Sinta looking for food in the fridge. Maimunah and also his stepfather of course very unfortunate if Sinta likes snacking snacks in the middle of the night.

There are some pudding prepared in the refrigerator. And before arriving at the house anyway, Sinta and also Radit brought and bought typical souvenirs such as various types of chips typical of the city of Malang good taste, sweet, spicy.

Tempe chips, fruit chips and cakes are still in the cardboard on the dining table. Maimunah also prepared snacks for Sinta. And now Sinta sat down and enjoyed the food that was already available. Sinta wants to eat her favorite pudding.

While enjoying the pudding and snacks in front of her, Sinta was startled by the baritone voice she was very familiar with. Sinta of course surprised, why the man who is always a shadow of himself.

" You woke up, Sinta? Or can't sleep?" said the voice of the baritone man who was none other than his stepfather. Sinta was really surprised by the presence of Mukid there. Since then apparently Mukid has been sitting in the middle room while enjoying coffee and smoking his cigarette. It is also difficult to become a habit Mukid always wake up after performing night prayers.

" Em, already asleep, and I woke up from sleep because I felt hungry, om." said Sinta trying to calm down and appropriately face the man who had given momentary pleasure on the contest. A man who once sowed his seeds into the womb until they become scraped in it. Then with sadism and cruelty the man chose another woman who in fact was his mother. And it was the man who had made her sin to have an abortion to abort her womb. And the man already knew that Sinta had a cruel abortion and it was all because of his mistake.

Mukid sat next to Sinta and took Sinta's pudding.

"This is the pudding I bought for you after you came last night. I know that you like chocolate-flavored pudding." said Mukid while tasting Sinta's pudding. Sinta smiled cynically.

" Thank you, Mukid is still concerned with me." said Sinta. Sinta pushed the plate containing the pudding away from her.

"Why not spend? Doesn't it taste good?" mukid.

" It's delicious, but suddenly so lazy to eat pudding." said Sinta. Mukid scrunched his forehead.

"Why? Is it because you already know that the pudding I bought? You hate me, but end up being lazy with everything that concerns me?" accuse Mukid.

Sinta looked at Mukid at a glance. Both their eyes are clashing.

" Love!" mukid lirih. There are other flavors that are still there. Longing but his lips are impossible to say.

" O Mukid!" sahut Sinta slowly. Sinta, although there is hate, disappointed in Mukid but his heart still has longing and his lips are just as dumb to say.

"I'm getting married, um!" say Sinta at last.

"I know! The man looks good and responsible. He is very attentive and loves you too. I'm so relieved to see you've found a man who's handsome, well-established and loves you too."

" right! Radit loves me and loves me so much. He accepted all my flaws. That's all that matters, um."

"All of a sudden I felt a sense of loss when I saw you were about to marry that man. It turns out there is jealousy when you pay attention to other men. And that man loves you too. It feels tightness and pain. I thought, after all this time the feeling was gone. It still exists."

" Time is the cure. Mama will help Mukid to forget the past. So too with me. Radit will give color to my life and erode past memories." said Sinta. Mukid holds Sinta's hand.

" You deserve to be happy, Sinta! I'm sorry, I can't give you that happiness. Hopefully with that man, you can be happy" said Mukid.

" Sorry!" sahut Sinta's.

"Love! You don't have to show your affection with Radit in front of me. I know that you are happy with Radit and so am I." said Mukid. Sinta smiled and looked into Mukid's glassy eyes.

" Why is it that you cry?" ask Sinta.

" No! I'm glad you're getting married to Radit. I'm just sorry why you aborted my son" Mukid said.

" If I maintain that fetus and give birth to a child om Mukid, what is my next fate? Who will marry me? While om Mukid has chosen mama as the wife of om Mukid. The baby has no confession, who is his father. It was very sad." said Sinta. Mukid looked at Sinta's face. Now Mukid tried to approach the face and summarize his cheeks.

"I can kiss you, Sinta? Just this once and the last time." said Mukid slowly.

" No! Don't do that!" sahut Sinta's. Mukid took his breath in.

"We used to do her liking together, right? You forced me to do everything. After that, I got used to it and liked it. Even if your mom is in our relationship." Sinta fell silent, her eyes reverberated and the tears escaped falling from the corner of her eyes without being asked. Mukid became sad and felt guilty for everything that had happened.

"And it was you who wanted us to part.You told me to choose your mother over you. Finally you move away and move from this city to the city of Malang. Will you be able to forget me, Sinta? You want us to separate and I have to marry your mama. We try to forget everything and assume everything never happened" said Mukid at length.

"If it wasn't for my rival mother, I would have been the third woman in this relationship. But why should I be with my mom? Why not with another woman?" said Sinta.

"But now that I am relieved, you have found a man who loves you very sincerely." said Mukid.

Suddenly there was the sound of objects falling not far from where they were sitting in the dining room. Mukid looked for what had fallen, and found a falling object nearby.

" Is there anyone here and listening to our conversation, Sinta?" tanya Mukid.

" I don't think there is! It is possible that the cat in this house made it fall from there." said Sinta. Mukid breathed a sigh of relief.

Mukid turned on his cigarette and began to smoke it slowly.

"Don't smoke a lot! In a moment, Mukid will be a father. My mother will give birth to my sister. My half-sister." said Sinta with a cynical smile. Mukid also gave a small smile considering that he would soon become a father.

" I never thought I'd choose a stepbrother. And my stepfather turned out to be my ex-boyfriend" Sinta said with a chuckle.

" Oh, don't talk about it again. Given that, we would be ashamed of the situation ourselves. But this heart still cannot lie if we are still trying to brush off all these feelings" said Mukid.

"Really! But I asked you to tell me this story, Mama, don't know it. I am ashamed and also afraid." said Sinta.

"Sure! Sure was! I love Maimunah as much as I love you, Sinta." said Mukid.

" Thank you very much, om!" said Sinta while leaving Mukid who is still enjoying his cigarette.
