137. How come?

"Yes, brother go home first. If you need help, don't hesitate to call your brother. Twenty-four hours for you. Now you and Mom just take a break." Suprapto moved from his seat, as he was with Typhoon sitting in the hotel cafe where Typhoon and Erna were staying.

After arriving at the hotel, Typhoon sat alone with Suprapto at the hotel cafe. They let go of longing and shared stories about many things. Starting from work, the ridiculous behavior of their colleagues, to cases that are currently rife.

"Yes bang, I thank you very much bang," said Typhoon, greeting and hugging Suprapto who was going back to his office.

"Tama-sama Pan. Now rest. Your mother's waiting for you in the room,"

"Yes bang.. Don't forget greetings to your brothers and sisters. I'm going to my brother's house tomorrow. Brother just share his address. I can take a taxi with mom."

"It's easy, I pick it up, it's okay" Suprapto said.

"Good bang. Be careful on the road,"

"Yes, yes.Greetings to your mother yes. You can't stay up, it's too late,"

"Good bang."

Suprapto left the cafe. Now, there is a Typhoon who sits back on the cafe bench. He glanced at his watch. The clock indicates 2 pm. Typhoon grabbed his phone and tried to call Polda's office number and wait for his call to answer.

After a while, finally a voice sounded from the other end.

"Hello, Polda Riau office, how can we help you?" Ask for a voice from the end.

"Good day, I'm a Typhoon."

"Yes, Mr Typhoon, how can we help you?"

"I want to ask, is Mr Galang Artana in the office of the Police at this time?"

"I'm sorry, what's the need for Mr Kapolda?"

"I am a guest from Jakarta. I want to meet him. If indeed he was in the office at this time, I would be there now sir," Bright Typhoon.

"Oh well, you're in the office. Has it been promised before?"

"Not yet sir, but I am his family." The cyclone tried to convince the man at the end of there.

"Oh so. Yes just come sir, later I will tell Mr. Galang."

"Okay sir, thank you" Typhoon said.

"Thank you back, good day," said a voice at the other end.

The call is over. Then, Typhoon rushed to meet Erna who was resting in a hotel room that had been booked for two nights only.

Arriving at the room, Typhoon looked at Erna who was ready to leave for Galang's office. It's been two months since Typhoon never saw Erna dress up. Only this time the Typhoon again saw the middle-aged woman look neat as when Amoroso was still in this world.

"Mom, I'm ready with a Suprapto bang. Are you ready for us to go to Polda?" Ask Typhoon.

Erna turned her head, then smiled looking at the Typhoon.

"Yes, I'm ready." Sahut Erna's.

Actually Erna did not want to see Galang. Only, the contents of the will of Amoroso should he keep. Not only because of the contents of the will, but also from the encouragement of his three children.

"Get up ma'am" Pinky and Thunder Pinta."

Erna was silent, just two months after Amoroso's departure, was it worth he met his former lover named Galang?

"But..."

"Mom, father is gone. After all, it was my father's last message to my mother. And also. sister Typhoon would want to meet with Mr. Galang," said Pinky with the end of the sound choked.

Guntur and Pinky finally find out that Typhoon is not the biological child of their father. It's just, it's all nothing to regret. After all, Amoroso himself has been very sincere in accepting the reality. Only, in the heart of Thunder and Pinky does need an adjustment in accepting reality.

The first month, Pinky, who loves Amoroso very much, seems to inhabit Erna. Pinky's attitude changed to Erna. But, because the Cyclone always gives understanding to his two younger siblings, finally Pinky and Thunder can accept the reality of Erna's past so disappointing them.

"Even though the mother is guilty, but all this time the mother is a good mother. The mother who gave birth to us, the mother who raised us. Everyone has a past with the person they love. What if that position is where we feel?" Ask Typhoon.

Pinky and Thunder can only go silent. Finally they can understand, if everyone has had a disability that can not be eliminated in the history of his life. Isn't everyone really white?

However, after the event, Pinky and Guntur again talked about Galang's problems, and finally Erna agreed to go along with Typhoon to Riau, to meet Galang.

"Come on, ma'am" The typhoon grabbed Erna and took her out of the hotel room.

On the way to Polda, Erna looks nervous, as well as the Typhoon. Each of them seemed silent. For more than 31 years, Erna has not met Galang. Although Galang had been in Jakarta several times, and invited himself to meet, but Erna remained adamant not to meet Galang.

Erna was more resistant to his longing and love for Galang. Instead of her back betraying her husband, Amoroso was very kind to her. After all, he already had Pinky back then. There was nothing else Erna wanted to do but repent and be a obedient wife to her husband and try to love Amoroso as she was. However, his love for Amoroso did not come. His heart and mind continued to belong to Galang, until this moment.

The taxi they were riding in, stopped in the courtyard of the Polda office. The typhoon paid for the taxi fare and went down with Erna. Then they stepped into the office.

"Good day, how can I help you?" Ask an officer standing guard at the front of the office.

"I'm Typhoon, from Jakarta. I want to meet Galang Artana."

The officer looked closely at Typhoon and Erna.

"Have you made an appointment?" Ask the officer again.

"No sir, because I don't have Mr. Galang's mobile number. Or call from far away. It's just, I made an appointment when I would come at three."

The officer continued to stare at the Typhoon with a probing look.

"What is the need to meet with Mr Kapolda?"

"We're a family that hasn't met in a long time. Please let us meet sir. If you are doubtful, please tell Mr. Galang Artana, if Typhoon and his mother come to visit him."

The officer nodded, and then he got up from his seat.

"Please wait here, sir. I'll see Mr. Galang first."

"Well sir," the typhoon led Erna to sit on the waiting bench, right next to the entrance of the office. While the officer entered the office and headed to the room Galang.

Typhoon clasped Erna's hands tightly which felt sweaty. Nervousness always enveloped the two of them.

..

..

..

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Come in,"

The officer opened the door of Galang's room slowly, then he saluted Galang who was sitting in his chair.

"What's wrong?" Ask her while putting a picture frame containing an old photo of Erna and Typhoon who was in Erna's sling into her desk drawer. It was the only photo he had of his lover and son. Galang often stared at the photo in between his spare.

"Sorry sir, someone's looking for a father outside."

"Who?" Galang asked, with a voice that sounded so heavy and manly.

"Say from Jakarta."

"Tournaments?" Galang frowned.

"Yes sir,"

"What's his name?" Ask again.

"Name Typhoon."

Degg!

Galang's heart was beating fast, his chest was tight and his vision was nilar. It's not that he doesn't feel happy when the Typhoon is looking for him. It's just, it's never been thought before. In fact, even to dream he did not dare. Because after all, Erna remained adamant that Typhoon was the biological child of Amoroso.

"How is that possible?" Her muttering.
