In the darkness of the night that surrounds the earth, the lights of the road give a dim light along the way. Bima down a small alley to his house, an alley that is rarely passed by vehicles because it is too narrow. Also for people only.
"Ah ... cave forgot again. Today, right, three-day cave permit am Babeh am Nyak. If the cave goes home and they ask why? How, huh? Plus the cave does not bring a car," said Bima while kicking a pebble hit the wall of the alley.
Even so, he continued his steps towards home. Bima terangu in front of his house, the state of the house that is already dark indicates the occupants are asleep. He scratched his non-itchy head before taking his foot to step near the door.
Wh-tok-tok!
"Assalamu'alaikum! Neak, Babeh!" call him almost like a whisper. He put his ears on the door leaf listening to the sound from inside the house. Step knocking on the floor, Bima waited. Soon the lights were on, followed by a door that opened a little.
"Male? This lu? Not wrong to see the cave?" peekkik Tina who opened the door.
"Yes, Nyak. This is Bima," said Bima smiling shyly and unwell. Tina widened the door to take her son in. While explaining why he came back because Razka asked him to come home.
"Have you eaten, Tong?" tina asked while driving Bima to her room. He stood at the doorway watching the son.
"Udah, Nyak," replied Bima briefly. Tina closed the door and passed to her room telling the god Bima who had come home. A little relieved his heart because Bima had been in plain sight.
In the morning, the sound of chicken crowing together with the birds belonging to the neighbors. Early in the morning, Bima was ready to go to campus. He sat with the gods against a glass of milk.
The condition of the old man was getting better, coughing from him was rarely heard. His face, which was pale, was back to normal. He became a subservient elderly, avoiding cigarettes and staying away from coffee despite the torture. For the sake of a longer life, he was willing to do it.
"Why did you turn around, Tong? Not three days, huh?" asked Dewa while glancing at Bima who sipped her milk glass.
"The Great Lord who sent Bima back, Beh. Bima can not leave the lecture," said Bima with a tone of voice heard sumringah. Happiness was clearly visible in his brightly glowing eyes.
"That's a real thing. You shouldn't have gone to college. Big Master dear ama you, Bim." God is amazed, is it time for him to be honest with Bima who his biological parents are.
He glanced at Tina who was standing in the kitchen doorway. Sadness was clearly visible on his face, fear did not escape his eyes. However, Bima has the right to know who his biological parents are, they can not hold himself like a bird in a cage.
His eyes closed, strengthening his heart before nodding to let the Gods do it. He turned around and went back to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The breath of God sounded heavy, Bima turned away from the television and noticed her Babeh.
"Why, Beh? Another second?" ask her while approaching. He checked the temperature of the God's body with the back of his hand. Smiling those wrinkled lips, but the water seemed to well up in the eyes. He grabbed Bima's hand and held it.
"Bima, maybe it's time you knew who you really were. Maybe you can also feel in your heart, but you are not aware. Regarding your biological parents .. You actually deket them, Tong." The god looked at the face of the son he had taken care of and raised with his own hands.
"Why, Beh? Does Babeh know something?" lirih Bima without demanding an answer. He did not want to force the elderly to reveal everything. The dispelling veil slowly unfolded little by little.
The god nodded his head while closing his eyes, holding his sebak in his increasingly royal chest. He took another breath before continuing his paused sentence.
"Lu know about the Great Lord's son who lost his baby time?" Bima nodded slowly starting to feel strange, "they are still looking for the baby ampe now, Bima. They believe their child is still alive and there is their deket ama," continued the god while paying attention to the reaction of Bima who was silent not warted.
He did not interrupt or ask. Bima was having a dialogue with her heart that suddenly beat strongly. Every time I hear Razka's name being mentioned, every one of that is also happiness and longing to come to the surface. He himself did not understand, what kind of feeling always comes when he heard the name Razka.
"Yesterday, the Great Lord came to the house. Nanyain lu, he thinks you're his missing son, Bim ...." The god stopped again, Bima remained silent.
"Are you not feeling? Big Master your great concern, he doesn't want you to leave college because of work. He loves you, Tong." Bima's heart is getting stronger. Causes increasingly obvious tightness. Strange feeling.
"The Great Master is your father, Tong. Your real father. That's why your face looks like her because she's your father, Bima. He's your father," God said. Tears seeped from his petals, indeed he could not hold it.
Bima gaped, her eyes flickering, her breath hunting heavily. He turned around, digesting the sense that came to envelop his heart. Tears break without being able to hold. It was only fitting that he felt so close to the Great Lord, it turned out that they had a blood tie.
"A-what Babeh ain't wrong? Who knows Bima is just similar," asked Bima after successfully mastering the heart and all the flavors in it.
"Some, Tong. See the evidence for itself. Photos of you as a baby, ama photos of his son the Great Lord who lost it the same. Lu the son of the Lord, Bima. You're their son." Tina chimed. Shaking in the tongue he did not hide, his tears also seeped down his cheeks. He stood there, on the doorstep of the kitchen with his legs shaking violently.
Bima looked up at him, fear, sadness, he could see clearly in his old bead. Suffering, that's what looms in the eye.
Is this because yesterday the tongue of the cave was presumptuous to call it Madam, Mother, because she is the mother of the cave. Oh Allah ....
Bima moved, he stood up and walked closer towards Tina. Without hesitating to hug the woman, crying as much as possible. The tighter reply he received, clearly felt that Tina did not want to be away from him. Shaking in his body sends fear, fear of being left behind by children they have cared for almost their entire lives.
Bima took off a hug, she wiped Tina's tears and allowed her messy white hair. Both of his dark manic were slammed right into Tina's eyeball.
"What is Nyak afraid of? Bima can rasain. Is Nyak sad? Bima's heart was sad. What is it that is afraid of? Is Nyak afraid Bima will leave Nyak? After a few days Bima knew the Great Lord, he did not want to take Bima from Nyak ama Babeh. It means Bima can stay am Nyak ama Babeh. Bima wants to ngerawat Nyak ama Babeh because what Bima has received will not be able to be immune to use anything. Bima dear Nyak ama Babeh." The young man hugged her back.
A new cry filled the whole simple house that morning. Bima who promised never to leave both, he will keep it. God is grateful in the heart, hoping Bima is like no other. Sweet is thrown away.
