Part. 80



In one corner of the city, inside a simple house, the old woman was pacing back and forth restlessly. He did not know what to do, while his heart was uncertain. Many times he gasped for breath reducing the anxiety that struck.


However, still, uneasiness came crashing down. His heart beat was pounding, that one name in there. Bima, why are you, Tong? Oh Allah, hopefully the cave boy is nothing. Oh, my God, protect him.


"Tin? Lu why pacing so rich triskaan? Why you?" reprimanded God who seemed confused to see his wife standing uneasily in the kitchen. Not just standing, the woman who was no longer young was walking back and forth to and fro.


The anxiety did not subside even though the figure of the husband had been seen in his eyes. In a hurry she approached the god, squeezing both arms of her husband with eyes inundated with water.


"Bang, the cave's heart isn't calm. Feeling of restless cave, Bang. The cave is afraid of why our son, Bang. Cave afraid Bima why-napa. How's this, Bang? Gua feels something is not right for Bima. The cave wants to follow him, Bang. Gua wants to follow him," said Tina in a hurry without thinking more calmly.


The god also felt uneasy, he blocked the hand of Tina who was about to leave him.


"Wait, Tin. Where are you going?" asked the God with his forehead that was furrowed deeply.


"Gua wants to see a cave boy on his campus, Bang. Gua was afraid of him for a reason," Tina replied with her tears falling and it made the Gods feel what she was worried about.


"Yok, ama cave. The cave can't possibly make you pegi yourself" said Dewa grasping his wife's fingers and taking the woman out of the house.


"Scan! Beh!"


His second step paused when he heard Bima's screaming voice. Throwing a glance at each other before rushing to the door. Open it quickly and wide.


"Male?"


"Scan! Babeh!" The young man jumped off the motorbike and ran into the two elderly who were standing in the doorway of the house.


She was crying, true feeling Tina something happened to her son. God and Tina both hugged the young man. Tina had even joined in crying hearing the sound of sobs from Bima.


"Sorry Bima, Beh. Maafin Bima, Nyak. Sorry ..," he said softly and shuddered.


Tina who had been agitated at the thought of feeling a little relieved to see her son had come home in a state of fine, not one less thing. He rubbed Bima's back gently, giving peace to her son's heart.


Bima took off a hug, looking at the old face of the two who looked worried and confused. He stared at Tina for a long time before hugging the old woman again. So close that it doesn't feel like letting go anymore.


Caves can't leave them, caves can't get away from them let alone forget them. The cave wants to see them.


He muttered as he tightened his embrace on Tina's body. The god rubbed his watery eyes. Turn it away from Bima who hugged Tina. He took off another hug, kissed Tina's face and hugged her again.


"Still, Nyak, because Nyak has taken Bima. All the love that Nyak love to Bima will not be able to Bima bales. Thanks, for being patient with the naughty Bima. All the time Nyak who was wasted because of Ngurusin Bima will not be able to Bima balikin. Bima dear Nyak." Stupefied the young man. Her tears fell down the shabby negligee Tina was wearing.


Bima took off her embrace again, looking at Tina as she pleased. He wiped the woman's tears, his big hand cupped the old face in front.


"Nyak's five children, pan? Milky son Nyak ama Babeh, pan? Milky his son Babeh the God, right?" bima asked with her heart broken. Her tears were heartbreaking, her tears were melting incessantly.


"Lu son of Nyak, let the word not Nyak bornin you. Lu was Nyak's son, Tina's son. Lu the cave boy," said Tina who could not hold herself back. He's fucked.


The god beside him still turned his face away from the two of them. He knew what caused Bima to be what it is today. He knows very well. This is what he feared happened, but if Bima chose to go, what could he do? That's the right he decides who he'll live with.


Bima turned to God, without a word he hugged the old man. The man who looked indifferent had great affection in his heart. His love was not seen, but he never lost the attention of the baby found by his wife.


"Thank you, Beh. Babeh has been willing to slam bones for Bima's love of food. Babeh willing hot, dirty, raindrops, just to find money for Bima Jajan. Bima will not be able to bales Babeh energy that has been wasted looking for money so that Bima does not lack. Bima darling Babeh. Bima his son Babeh Dewa," said Bima again sobbed in the warm embrace of the old man.


"Lu the cave boy, Tong. Lu his son Babeh Dewa."


Men are not crying, just look. Even if you want to scream like Tina, but the gods can still hold it. Only the tears that fell illustrated the sadness of his heart. His fragile hands patted Bima's back slowly. He loved the boy, he loved him very much.


But the truth must still be accepted. The story that has been revealed, he must be prepared to accept all the possibilities that could happen in the future. Even though it is as bitter as bile, it still has to be swallowed.


While at Razka's house, regret is seen in Aulia's bead, but the ego in her is still very large and domineering. He did not want Bima prefer to live with others than himself.


"You shouldn't have said that, Aul. Honestly, I'm disappointed in you" Razka told Bima from her home. He looked disappointed at the woman who had been twenty years more accompanying the journey of his life.


Aulia raised her face looking at her husband. Really he did not expect Razka would say that, even though she was the birth mother of Bima.


"But I'm her real mother, I gave birth to her, brother. He should have come back to us, not constantly staying with others" Aulia said in a high tone.


Razka shook her head, she did not think Aulia would turn selfish like this. He's like everyone else and Razka doesn't know him.


"You know for yourself what it's like to lose, you know what it's like to be away from a child. Just imagine, think about it, how would they feel if we took Ibrahim from those who have taken care of him for twenty years, nurtured him, educated him, looked after him until he became a great young man?" razka was filled with pressure in every word she said.


"Then, we came all of a sudden and wanted to deprive the boy of their upbringing..No, Aul!" razka continued, shaking her head firmly, "even if we are her biological parents, we cannot be arbitrary towards them. Do not forget their wasted time just to take care of our child. Don't forget the sweat of those who poured out just to feed our child. Think wisely, Aul. Put yourself in their place" Razka said, standing by the car keys.


While Aulia was silent, she could not answer. Only the tears that melted painted the sadness of his heart. Ayra and Nasha chase Razka outside the house, the rain outside has subsided.


"Dad!" call them as they run to Razka who has opened the car door. He awaits their arrival.


"Come in!" Without asking, he knew what the two wanted.
