METAPHOR OF YOUNG LEGISLATOR LOVE

The Sky of Sapphira

Drop by drop of dew water this morning, accompanying the sweet smile of Sapphira who kept on leaning on her lips. The shadow that one more step he would be able to embrace his biological daughter, made the moment of life that he had left for twenty-four more years, as if returning to his mind and heart.

That longing he has been longing for. Even God bears witness to how much longing is so painful throughout his life, let alone the shadow of sin to bear a child without a legitimate husband, also millions of sins because having to leave the baby who is still red really haunts his life.

However, Sapphira had to paint a rainbow in the sky of his life. Thousands of waves of life must be willing to go through it with a belief, that someday there will be happy and beautiful chirping laughter in a piece of story that is reflected in one side of his life.

"Help me, O Rabb," Sapphira said in her heart.

After parking his car in the parking area of Dewangga Group, with a step so certain he entered the area of the magnificent building where the owner of the company and the husband of his biological daughter had been waiting for his arrival.

Yes, this morning was a very real start to her life. How not? As soon as morning greeted him, not only was the coolness of the wind gently sweeping his face, but a phone call from Johan asking him to come to see his daughter-in-law, also the husband of a prospective daughter-in-law who failed to be married by her son.

"Hopefully they can help me meet Lena and explain everything" Safira murmured inwardly.

As soon as the receptionist greeted her, a beautiful girl then escorted her towards Ryan's study room politely and kindly. Along the way, Sapphira's mind wandered. Really, he could not guess what would happen in there, like a leaf that did not know when it would fall to the ground, also the rain that never knew when he would come down soaked the earth he was treading.

"Bismillah, whatever happens, I believe this is one of God's ways to reunite me with my biological daughter" Safira again, as soon as she is right at the chief director's door.

Tock-tock.

With a beating heart, Safira knocked on the door.

"Come in," the inside voice that was caught in Safira's ear, further added to his rapid racing heartbeat.

"Huh," Sapphira let out her breath violently.

Chequek.

With a thumping heart, he finally turned the doorknob as well.

As soon as the door opened, Johan and Rudi were already standing in front of the door, while Ryan and Arya were still sitting on the long sofa in an adjoining position.

"Please come in, Madam," Johan said with his trademark cold expression. Safira nodded her head, then entered following Johan's footsteps, while Rudi walked behind her.

"O Allah, it turns out to be more frightening than I imagined" said Sapphira, still in her heart.

As Sapphira approached, Ryan and Arya stood up and let Safira sit down.

"Please, Auntie," Ryan politely invited.

"Please, Mother," Arya was no less polite, even her words successfully made Sapphira's eyes teary, hearing her daughter-in-law calling her mother.

"Thank you" Safira answered in a stammer, then sat down on a long sofa opposite Ryan and Arya's sofa, until they were facing each other.

"Come, Rud. Get out of that place. You're scaring Auntie!" ryan said, as if he could catch Sapphira's discomfort with their existence.

"Well, sir," said Rudi and Johan simultaneously. Finally they get away from where they were and move to the door with the same position, preparing to be alert in case of things that he does not want.

"alright, Mother. Is there anything you want to tell me?" Arya tried to open the conversation.

"Ahh, even I am sure you already know everything before you hear it from me," Safira replied, with water beginning to pool at the end of her eyes.

"Of course, Auntie. We already know everything. Then according to Auntie, what made us ask Auntie to come to this place?" ryan's turn chimed in, with a less than friendly face. Yes, Ryan behaved like that because he thought that whatever reason he would later hear, at that time Ryan really felt furious and hated the woman in front of him, he said, who had the heart to leave the daughter he had born himself out of his womb.

"It's too much if Auntie hopes you can help Auntie to meet Aunt's daughter, although Auntie believes that you are generous, there's nothing hard for you guys to do whatever Auntie wants later. But Auntie's really asking for help, son. Help Aunt Lena to hear Aunt's explanation. Just once, if he can't forgive Auntie, Auntie promised never to show up in front of you again" now Sapphira has sobbed.

"Do you know how sick my wife's heart is? Of course I don't know how much pain a child has had to lose his childhood, because it was deliberately dumped by his parents. I feel for myself what my wife feels, Mom. Because we were both unwanted by our parents. You want to know what it's like? Pain, Mother. So hurt. That's why I will never force my wife to forgive you if it's still hard for her" said Arya, furious.

"No mother is willing to part with her biological child, son," Safira said.

"Many, Mother. And Mother was one of them," Arya began to show her emotions, as if Sapphira who was now in front of her was her own birth mother who had dumped her.

"That's not true, son. Even for twenty-four more years, the burden of sin and this longing I had to bear alone" said Sapphira.

"Then why didn't you come back? Even Lena still chose to be in the orphanage until High School even though Mama Davina had borne her life and school fees since eight years old. She just left the orphanage as soon as she got into college, Mom. And you know what he prays every day? She hoped Mom would pick her up again. But what have you been doing all this time, Mom?" great-grandson of Arya, successfully made Safira intrigued.

Ryan who witnessed the debate in-laws and son-in-law was just silent, did not intend to interfere more in the business. Suddenly, Johan approaches and whispers Arya something.

"It's getting wet, we finish it today, too" said Arya, who was answered with a nod by Johan.

"What's wrong?" Ryan scrunched his forehead.

"Your wife and my wife are suddenly coming" Arya replied without looking back at Ryan. Arya just stared at Safira sharply.

"You sure Lena's gonna be okay?" Ryan hit Arya on the shoulder.

"Sooner or later, he still has to hear an explanation from his mother, right? Isn't it the same, now or tomorrow?" arya sure.

"I'm giving you the opportunity to meet my wife and explain everything, because I still respect you as the biological mother of my wife, Mother. The opportunity will never come twice, so use this opportunity as well as you can," Arya softened her voice.

Sapphira nodded steadily, although now her heart churned so wonderfully.
