“Loh, Rere hasn't come yet, Nik? usually the most diligent child.” Maula frowned to find Rere's bench was still empty.
“It looks like today he did not go to school deh,” replied Nikita hesitated.
“He is sick what? It will not be exciting dong if the jellyfish duo, less one,” he said while sitting and putting a bag on the table.
Nikita appears to be playing her lips up, down and to the side. Looks like a confused person.
“Rere hurts?” ask Maula again.
Nikita shook her head.
“Keep why didn't he log in?”
“Tadi dawn ... she called me while crying.”
Maula frowned again. “Kid model cake she can cry too, anyway? What did he say? Why she cries.”
“She just said, not going to school today. When I asked him why he was crying, he hung up.”
“Serious, Lo?” Maula who initially did not respond so much, suddenly cared and felt worried. “Back school, we go straight to his house. I'm not good at it, nih.”
Nikita nodded. “Gue also can't eat breakfast, think Rere.”
“Assalamaicum ... Re, Lo's home?! Open the door, please!” Maula pressed the bell many times. He also knocked on the door repeatedly. His greeting never got a sahutan.
Nikita tried calling her phone number. Although it was a long time ago, Rere finally picked up the phone on the tenth call.
“Re, Where are you? We're in front of Lo's house, nih.”
“We'll see you tomorrow at school. I'm sleeping again.” His hoarse voice could be because he had just woken up, but it could also be because he was crying.
“Lo hurts? We want to look at Lo. Well nyampe here, time must come back again, anyway?” Maula took over Nikita's phone from her hand.
Rere insists that he is fine, but the more he forces his friends to go home, the more convinced Maula and Nikita are not to move from the porch. Finally, Nikita opened the door and let her friends into the room.
“Re, Lo why, anyway?!” ask Maula impatiently.
“Shuttt .. we chat in the room only. My mom is resting in her room.” Rere also gestured for them to speak in a quiet voice.
Maula sat on the edge of Rere's bed. While Nikita sits in the study chair she turns to face Rere-who again settles down on the bed.
“So we want to diem-dieman aja, nih?” Nikita began to open the conversation in silence while shaking her legs.
Maula twisted her body and touched Rere's forehead with a swollen face because she cried for too long. “What pain, Re? Say dong to me.”
“Length the story.” Rere started to take a deep breath. “I'm not the one who's sick, but Mama.”
“Then, I want to see Mama, anterin me to his room.” Maula pulls Rere, but Rere pulls Maula's hand and asks her to sit back.
“Do not now. Mama doesn't want to be disturbed.”
“What pain mama, Re?” ask Nikita while approaching.
“Mama .. the birth and inner pain. Mama had so long harbored her pain that last night, she tried to kill herself.”
“Whatt?! Bundir?!” maula and Nikita shouted at the same time.
“Shuutt ..” Rere again asked them to calm down.
“Where is the story, Mama was thinking of suicide?” whispered Maula curious.
“After a long time Mama covered up Papa's affair, suddenly Papa said he wanted to divorce Mama for her affair ..”
“That was Papa. Before he gets to know his new assistant,”
“She cheated on her assistant?” ask Nikita again?
“It was a long time ago. I once asked Papa to end her relationship, and she complied because her cheating woman chose to move abroad with her son and husband.”
“If their relationship is over, it should be done by then, right, Re?” ask Maula who is curious about what made her mother try to kill herself.
“Papa's relationship and his affair is too strong because they have been in love before they were both married to their respective partners.”
“Women ja\*ang it back tease your Papa?!” Maula seemed to feel what her mother Rere was feeling right now.
“Gue was also inexhaustible, Papa the best man who became a role model so far, suddenly willing to sacrifice his family for the sake of other women. Is that the third person's charm? I hate the ja\*lang that has captured Papa's heart and almost claimed the life of Mama” Rere again crying mourning the destruction of his family.
Maula and Nikita hugged her at the same time. “Re, Lo same Mama must be strong to face this test.”
“Try Lo both shadowin. Lo saw Mama Lo lying in the bathroom with blood continuously flowing from her wrist. Mama doesn't want to live anymore.”
“Gue know, I know ...” Maula rubbed Rere's shoulder, trying to calm him down. “Gue knows how devastated to see Mama's body stiffened already lifeless. I also know what it's like to watch Papa die and leave me alone.” Maula wiped away the tears that escaped from the corner of her eyes.
“*Daughter Teresia Aulia**, besides being smart, Lo is also my most independent and powerful friend. I learned a lot from Lo. Never be weak. For Mama.” Maula kept encouraging her friend because she had to get up.
“And you know who the woman ja\*lang is?” asked Rere while continuing to cry.
Maula let go of her embrace while looking into Rere's eyes. “Who is he?”
“She's Ariel's Mama. He left Ariel and his father Ariel, to reclaim Papa I.”
“What?! So all this time ... Astagfirullah!” Maula really doesn't know what to say. Can only rub the chest because he can not imagine it, especially if you have to experience it. *The man who was always with his mother Ariel for work reasons, who also became his affair turned out to be his father Rere*.
It's getting late, Maula volunteered if Rere needed a friend for tonight. However, because Rere refused, Maula also called Mang Sodik to come pick him up.
“Re, take care of Mama. Don't hesitate to call me if you need help. I'll be ready 24 hours, nonstop for Lo.”
“Gue too, yes, Re,” timpal Nikita who answered a nod and a hug from Rere for the two of them.
All night, Maula did not stop thinking about the problems of the Rere family and Ariel.
Mature woman, patient and have been hit so much salt acid life like her mother Rere, in the end tried to end her life because she felt unable to bear the burden.
A good, loyal, responsible and family-loving man like his father Rere, ends up choosing another woman on the basis of an irreconcilable first love.
Likewise with his mother Ariel who is willing to betray the family without thinking again about the feelings of a child who needs it.
Is that a household problem? Is it hard to be faithful to each other forever?
Uncompleted Maula contemplates the story of Rere and Ariel. Suddenly had to mess around with the delivery of pictures from Risa. Little by little, Maula lost respect for the more mature women of her age. Almost every activity he reported to Maula. More precisely, this was like in order to provoke.
He wanted to ask Aldi to educate his future wife, but Maula was worried that it would damage the friendship of Aldi and her husband because all this time, Aldi never knew the secret of their past. He never even suspected her.
Maula looked at the wall clock that had pointed to the number 12, then she calculated the time difference to ensure the right time to call her husband.
“There just ahead of isya,” murmured while pressing Khayru number and then pressing the call button on the screen.
“Hallo, darling. You, really, haven't slept?” the affectionate call sounded like a joke on Maula's ear.
“I don't want to joke, Bang. Brother why are you two with Aunt Risa?” tanyanya to the point.
“Become-two how? There is Dad, really, here,” he replied with a chuckle.
“There's dad because it's night. What about morning, afternoon, evening? Be done! Too many reasons!” Maula hangs up the phone because she thinks her husband has opened a gap for Risa.
It could be that the seductress said proudly that she takes care of people's husbands all day. Where does he keep his brain?
