"Enough! You're my son, nothing can replace my position as your birth mother. Leave them and go back to your own family, Ibrahim!"
Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Bima's chest rumbled. The laughter that had sounded warm and familiar just a moment disappeared with the arrival of Aulia's high voice.
The smiles that had just appeared on the faces of the three children, now changed grimly and durja. Especially the face of an enthusiastic young man telling about his life. Her warm and sweet face now looked flat and cold. It is as cold as the untouched North Pole of the sun.
"Geez! You shouldn't talk like that!" press Razka who was also surprised to hear Aulia's rising voice. When he turned his head, that normally peaceful face was now flushed in anger. This is what he feared, this is what he wanted when his wife knew about the true Bima.
"Why? I was pregnant and I gave birth to her. I'm more entitled to her than they are!" snapped Aulia did not accept Razka's statement that seemed to distance herself from the child she missed.
Razka shook her head, she glanced at Bima who was dumbstruck with eyes in disbelief. Ayra and Nasya also did not understand why their mother could be so angry. There is nothing wrong with the story Bima told. Continued with Nasya's story even though he had to suppress the feeling in his heart strongly.
The old man lowered his head, twitching his dizzy head suddenly. "You're selfish, Aul," he said softly.
The breath of the woman who was standing was heard hunting, she was overcome by the flames of anger and selfishness. Aulia who was calm and wise, was now gone already. Perhaps because of his longing for the son, he wanted to attract Bima to live with him.
"Agois?" Aulia laughed disdainfully. Bima squealed dislike, another was his gaze towards the woman. However, in his heart he could feel what Aulia was really like. As a result of Ibrahim's fall into the abyss, the trauma still imprints to change a little of his once gentle character. She was always shrouded in fear, afraid of the bad things that always lurked on every side of her children.
"Nine months I was pregnant with it, I risked my life when I gave birth to it, and those who were nobody wanted to admit it? Want to take her heart and self away from me? Then, what about me? My feelings as a mother? My heart that has been longing? Didn't you think?" Tears on her cheeks.
Razka pressed her head that felt increasingly dizzy. How much he understood Aulia's feelings, but that's not how. Nasya and Ayra just fell silent, in their little hearts they did not agree with the attitude Aulia showed.
Just look at Bima! He seems unhappy with his attitude. That flat face, so scary to look at. He was still silent, weighing his inner sense, carving out the words he deserved to say. After all, Aulia was her biological mother.
The woman who was still shrouded in jealousy, turned her face to Bima. Their eyes met with a glimpse, but Bima vehemently threw away her face. It made Aulia's old heart throb.
"Dear it! Son! You need to know what Mother's struggle is in convincing your heart that you're alive. Even if they force you to think you're dead as they say, your heart can't accept it. This heart always says, You, mother's son are alive. My Ibrahim is alive. Back to Mom, son. I'll give you whatever they ask for .. whatever, the important thing is that you stay here," Aulia's pinta is getting more and more clear.
Hoping in Bima's heart would meet his expectations. His tears were getting louder, he was weak. Weak, but that's not the way. How would God and Tina feel if she heard what she said at this moment. Both will not be able to accept, of course.
Hearing Aulia's final sentence, Bima growled stifled. His heart felt crumpled, immeasurable pain. All this time God and Tina were so sincere about loving him, not the money or treasure they wanted in return. They are neither greedy nor do humans like to take advantage of circumstances.
Bima who had been silent since, slowly stood up. He was facing Aulia, but the view he threw away elsewhere. Strengthened his heart for the promise he had made to the two elderly in their modest home.
Bima did not forget how the struggle of the God who was willing to leave his hometown and sell the only treasure he had just to give a more decent life for himself.
Bima did not forget Tina's cry in childhood every time she saw the wounds on her body. The woman did not even care about her sliced finger when she made the broomstick that was important to her to make money for her son's snacks.
"I'm sorry, Madam ...." The sentence paused, Aulia was stunned to hear Bima's call for her. Nah! Not like this. Don't do this! Razka raised her face to look at her son, Nasya and Ayra were not separated from the cold and flat face that Bima displayed.
"You have given birth to me, without you I would not have been possible in this world. I don't deny that. However, you must not forget that there has been interference by others in my growth. They are not my real parents. The old woman in the house was not the one who gave birth to me, but through her hands I felt the first mouthful of love and abundant love."
Bima turned her gaze to look at the silent Razka.
"Also the old man in the house .. I was not his seed, not his seed, but he was willing to fight day and night, squeezing the sweat of a bone slam, just to feed me. Whatever he did to keep me in school. He said, let you be the man if it's been gedenya. Say it! Tell me, what kind of reply is worth all the love, affection, and sacrifice of the time they took to care of me for the rest of their lives?"
Everyone was silent to the vibrating speech of Bima.
"Even if you give them all the money, I'm sure it's not the acceptance you'll get. Not a thank you that you will hear, but an oath of acceptance because you feel humbled and humiliated. You rich people have always looked down on Nyak and Babeh. Name of the cave Bima, his son Babeh Dewa. The cave won't leave them."
Bima's tears fell when she remembered the old face of the two of them crying because they had to separate from her. He turned around and left Razka's house. Hearing Bima's final sentence, no one didn't cry.
Ayra chased after him, followed by Aulia who did not want to lose Bima again. Razka doesn't know what to do? This was all because of Aulia's words that were not supposed to be spoken.
"Baim, wait!" Ayra called.
"Abraham! Don't go, kid! Don't leave Mom!" Aulia shouted to her son.
"Sister!" Nasya ran over. He brushed off the unusual taste in his heart and chased Bima.
The young man ignored him, he approached his motorbike without turning a bit. Wearing a helmet and turning on the engine.
"Sister! I'm going with Brother!" Nasya held Bima's hand, her wet eyes begging Bima to agree with her wishes.
However, the man actually took off Nasya's hand and without a word he darted along with his motorbike.
"Sister!"
"Baim it!"
"Abrahim!"
The three people shouted simultaneously calling out the name of the young man who left in an angry state.
