Meeting Point

it should never have started

How could I possibly accept you back, and live happily with you. As for that happiness, standing on the rubble of the sorrow and suffering of others-Aretha Zayba Almira

At about 19:00 Aretha reached the courtyard of the house, after being escorted by Jovan. His relationship with Jovan is still going well, the two of them even often studied together for the preparation to enter the University. Although their relationship was only limited to friends, but the days of Aretha were always filled with Jovan Abelven.

After setting foot in the yard, Aretha was a little confused because she found several cars parked in her yard. The car he did not recognize at all, with a slight hesitation the girl was holding the doorknob, about to press down on him. However, his movements came to a halt after he heard Oma shouting from within.

"After everything that happened? You can still show your face Radi?!!" Shouted Oma.

With hesitation, Aretha pressed the doorknob as she entered her house. The quarrel, it seems, happened in the living room. With a slow step, the girl walked towards the family room which was about 3 meters from where she stood.

"I'm sorry mom, I was wrong..."

Aretha closed her mouth in surprise as she unintentionally, seeing Radi squawk before Oma and Opa. But after that, he chose to hide behind the wall. Not daring to enter, let alone join in the chat of those adults.

"You even know, sorry is too expensive for everything you've done!!" Opa Resolute.

"I beg Oma, forgive us both, allow us to take back our daughter" Aretha's shock did not arrive, she was completely bolted in surprise after seeing her own mother, squabbling before Oma. Moreover, they are now discussing about their daughter? Who is the princess they want to take?

There's no way I'm not?

Opa's laughter sounded so loud, filled all the silence that enveloped the house of Aretha "hhahahhah,,, do you want to take your daughter back? Even you threw away Azka and Rama!! You even killed Lia and the child she contained. Your own flesh and blood!!! Now you ask your daughter? Don't dream Radi, just let you live together, including countless generosity!" Opa Resolute.

"I was wrong, I realize our mistakes in the past, will not be forgiven. But please, allow us to meet our daughter" slowly Om Radi held onto Opa's leg. Compressed with regret, hoping for an apology to come out of the middle-aged man's mouth.

"Azka even just died, maybe you do not feel sad because of his departure" said Oma disappointed.

"Om, it's all happening. You have also lived happily with your daughter. Please forget Aretha, as you have forgotten her all along. Live as usual, if indeed you love Aretha, please let her go and let her live happily" said Rama while staring fixedly at her mother and stepfather.

"You know Rama, you even know that everything is not our desire! You even know that you love Aretha very much!!"

"Fuck all your love!! Don't act like you're victims!! We are the victims here, we are the victims of selfishness!! Once, did you ever regret leaving us? Do you ever regret leaving your sons and daughters, only for your happiness" said brother Rama staring at his fragile mother.

From a long time ago, Rama loved his mother very much, even he was willing to give his world if only his mother asked for it. But apparently, the world of Rama is not able to fill all the emptiness of the life of the mother. Compared to embracing Rama and Aretha, mother prefers to go without saying goodbye, without hugging farewell, without saying goodbye. There is only disappointment, as well as trauma that the longer, the more eroding the spirit of his life.

"Sorry mother son, forgive mother" said mother while sitting in front of brother Rama.

"When it happened, I gave you two choices. Leave your affair, and live with our little family. Or go with your affair, without bringing anything from this house, including Aretha. The child of your dark relationship. And you, choose to go with your affair and leave Aretha and Rama, your own flesh and blood"

With a face full of his wife, father looked at mother carefully. The father's words of course made Aretha go silent stiff, without feeling her tears fall down her cheeks. Didn't expect that he would find out everything so soon.

"At that time, I didn't even force you. But without a doubt the mother left us, even the mother did not look at us at all" brother Rama of course disappointed with all the choices of the mother. Like anything, at that time he was still very young. In his infancy, he saw his family slowly falling apart.

When he had begun to make peace with the situation, when he had started to mengikhlaskan everything. Forcibly mother and om Radi again splash salt water, on wounds that slowly heal. It never hurts to fall in love, the feeling of falling in love is a very noble and beautiful act. Where we are able to give love, as well as our lives to people who do not have any blood relation to us. As beautiful as it is in love.

It's just that there are limits to love, there are some conditions in which we have to give up on saving lives, saving moments that we've knit.

"Om Radi, have you ever felt sorry for leaving Azka? Have you ever felt guilty for the death of Aunt Lia and the baby in her womb? Have you ever felt sad because of Azka's death?" Ask brother Rama in despair.

No words of rebuttal or words of reply came out of the mouth om Radi, nor mother. The two fell silent with that expression of regret. The words of brother Rama increasingly make aretha cry, for a while, he was not even able to control himself. Everything was too painful, too painful to be heard by the person who was the mastermind over everything that had happened.

"If you love Aretha, if you really miss her. You will definitely meet him secretly, there are many moments that you can make the opportunity to meet your daughter. When my father left, when I left, when he was alone with Azka. And you didn't do that, not once did you meet him. Because you don't really miss him, you don't really love him"

It hurts, it hurts so much. What Brother Rama said was true, when Aretha really slumped, when he really needed a place to lean. The person who was said to be his biological parents never once came to see him. Their love is not wrong, only the moments and conditions are wrong. They should have finished what they started from the beginning, should they end their relationship with their father, or Radi with his aunt Lia. Not even cheating and committing mischief.

Or maybe from the beginning, they should never have married Lia's father or aunt. From the very beginning they fought for their love, and did not involve others to hurt them, on the basis of love and affection.
