METAPHOR OF YOUNG LEGISLATOR LOVE

Lena Reaction

The atmosphere was suddenly silent, among the thousands of fretful who were now ravaging the courage of a Sapphira in front of the biological daughter he had simply thrown away. Now, only the quiet could speak, saying that the longing was already growing in his heart.

"Alright, Aunt. I thought we met at the cafe yesterday. Is there anything until Auntie wants to meet and talk to me?" Lena began to speak, in the style of a very distinctive lawyer, even though a year had already officially left the profession in her life.

Hearing the question coming out of Lena's mouth, the turmoil in Safira's heart thrashed. He would inevitably have to swallow his saliva first, before the words actually came out and changed the atmosphere of the room.

"Son ..," Sapphira's tongue felt so faint. While Lena, only frowned hearing Sapphira's words that did not reach her ears.

"Tante ..," Sapphira was not yet able to continue the sentence, which she had been very anxious to say to the biological daughter she had missed so much. Even though they were so close now, Sapphira felt that they were separated by such a distance.

"Yes, Aunt. Can Lena help you?" millions of questions were now milling around in Lena's mind.

Safira was silent again. He tried to look towards Arya, a nod from her head as if hinting for Safira to continue her words.

"Tante is your real mother" the words that finally came out of Sapphira's mouth, like lightning striking in Lena's ear.

"Cannot be. Aunt must be lying. Brother Tama, tell me that what Aunt Safira said is not true, brother. Say it!" Lena screamed hysterically while shaking her husband's body.

"It's Mom Son, I'm not lying" Sapphira tried to get closer and grabbed Lena's hand.

Spontaneously, Lena threw the hand out so easily, that suddenly made Safira stunned while holding her mouth.

"Son, I'm sorry, mother" Sapphira tried to grab her daughter's hand again, but Lena stood up, about to leave the place.

Arya stood up. Instantly he pulled his wife's body and clenched her tightly. Lena was crying in her husband's arms. Sapphira who witnessed how her biological daughter really did not want her presence was only able to shed her sorrow with tears. She sat back down, letting her daughter vent all her emotions until she could be spoken to.

"By" from the President's seat, Rani looked at Ryan as if asking her husband to intervene.

"Not for this one, honey. Just as we did not force Daniel to accept Om Arsen, this time we must let Lena make her own decision. We have no right to force her heart, not even Arya who is her husband will force Lena to accept her birth mother" whispered Ryan, who was finally answered with a nod by Rani.

For some time, Lena kept crying in Arya's arms. Even now Arya brought Lena back to sit, although she did not want to let go of her embrace.

"Cry if it can reduce the burden and sadness in your heart, dear. But as a husband, I can only say. Listen to the explanation first, just this once. Once you hear everything, you have the right to accept or reject it. He has promised, after this will not bother you again if indeed you do not want to accept his presence in your life back," said Arya, as soon as Lena's crying began to subside.

Lena was silent. She kept her face hidden behind the chest of her husband's field. Not a single word came out of his mouth, not allowing Sapphira to speak, but not rejecting the explanation that Safira would tell him. Until he got a signal from Arya, Safira also began to tell stories.

"Until one day, Mom knew a man and our short story ended up falling in love with each other. We also had a serious relationship, even though Mom was very young at that time. Until one night, the forbidden thing happened. Your mother and father did a relationship that we shouldn't have done without marriage. At that time we were very solemn, and we realized when we had done all that," Safira continued her story while occasionally wiping the tears that kept melting on her cheeks. While Lena still continues to hold her husband's body tightly.

"Your father is not a typical person who abandons responsibility and runs away from all the mistakes he has made. That's why he promised to marry Mom once I graduated, two months after that we did. At that time I believed, because I knew very well what your father was like. She couldn't have just left Mom, even though I knew her family was against her decision, and wanted your father to marry a rich girl like her family" Safira continued, although Isak crying now can no longer be detained.

"And he did not break his promise. As soon as Mom graduated, she came home and proposed to me in front of your grandmother and grandfather. But just then, suddenly her parents came to the house and threatened if your father married Mom, she would be crossed off the list of heirs," Safira's voice suddenly choked. His eyes were getting hotter, his tears were flowing remembering the story of grief in his life.

"Until there, I thought that your father would leave Mom and go home with his parents. But Mom was wrong. Your father chose Mom and left her parents at Mom's house just like that. The screams and insults from his parents were ignored, so we both went away without looking back. We kept running all the way, afraid that his parents would also chase him. Until we got to the end of the road, we saw a car heading towards us very fast. Seeing that, your father spontaneously pushed Mom to the side of the road, until your father was the one who finally got hit by the car inevitably. And that day, that was the last day I saw her, son. Because your father died after that. Even she died before she knew that you were in her mother's stomach" Sapphira said. Even Rani who heard the story of Sapphira from her husband's table also cried while clutching tightly Ryan as if she did not want bad things to happen to her like the love story of a middle-aged woman who is now in front of it.

"Mom was no longer able to think clearly. Mothers' parents also end up feeling painfully, in addition to the shame due to the mother's pregnancy that they really do not want. Up to five months after your father died, your grandfather died. Not until there, finally your grandmother followed her husband two weeks after your grandfather left. Seeing Mother's stomach that increasingly can not be hidden, Mother was ostracized. Even the surrounding residents flocked to expel Mother for thinking that Mother was a despicable woman who did not deserve mercy," Safira let out a long sigh.

"With the gestational age of the mother who stepped on nine months, the mother left the house and walked aimlessly. Many luxurious houses that Mother visited, who knows they can accept Mother and give Mother a job, but no one wants to accept a maid with an enlarged stomach. They all thought, that if their Mother gave them a job, there would be Mommy and Mommy's child would only be troublesome. No one helped, eventually Mother continued to walk with an uncertain purpose. Until suddenly, Mother's stomach feels unbearable pain. I asked for help maybe someone heard, but nothing. No one heard Mom, because that night she was on a road far from the village. Inevitably, with great difficulty I gave birth to you alone in the bush," continued Safira, her tears continued to spill without being able to contain it.

"It is only by the help of God that you can be born into the world, son. And that's where I thought, that you would continue to suffer if you lived with me without knowing where we would live and what to eat. That's why I immediately wrapped you in a makeshift cloth and began to intend to leave you to one of the rich men. After Mom was a little energetic, I finally walked and took you without knowing where to go. Until then, what I saw first was the orphanage. I didn't think long either. With a heavy heart, I left you with only a piece of cloth and a gift pendant from your father," Sapphira let out a rough breath.

"You know how broken Mom was when she knocked on the door of the orphanage and ran and hid to see Mommy take you, son? Mother's feelings really hurt like they were pierced by millions of paints. But for the sake of your future, Mother still had to make that choice," now Safira ventured to look at her daughter who was still a thousand languages silent, without even looking at her.

"And what next? Auntie would say, after you dumped me, Auntie got a rich man and became his wife? Even after becoming a wealthy woman and living a life of wealth, Auntie forgot about me. Isn't that right?" sela Lena is still with her sobs. Rani, who saw her sister so late in grief, wanted to move on and calm her down, but again Ryan prevented her and kept Rani sitting sweetly in her lap.

"Ssttt, Honey. Let him finish the story first," Arya tried to calm down.

"Enough, Brother. Deeba doesn't want to hear any more of his stories. Everything he told was a classic story used to defend himself every mother who could throw away and leave her child just like that. He can never feel what Deeba feels, brother. She never knew how Deeba was suffering," this time Lena actually got up and ran as fast as she could.

Sapphira who did not expect that Lena's reaction would be like that also stood up and was about to chase after her, but Arya prevented it.

"Let her, Mom. She needs to think things through herself" Arya stopped, letting Lena leave.

"But I'm afraid, son," Safira said in a worried tone that she couldn't hide.

"Calm, Mum. Let me take care of it. Please come home first, after she calms down, I can go back to explain why the new Mother is now coming," Arya tried to give understanding.
