Mom, Let Me Be Happy

CHAPTER 47. Deliver Dicky

Next day!

Denny, and Santana go to see Arifin. They took Dicky there so as not to take a lot of time to pacing. Forget for a moment the issue of the heart that is watching each other resist the curiosity to meet and jealousy in the chest of Santana, and Denny.

A few hours of their journey. Now they arrived in front of Arifin's house. Like visiting them, they knock on the door and say hello.

An answer was heard from inside Arifin's house. As before, it was Arifin's wife who opened the door and invited them to enter. Now they all sit in the living room and wait for Arifin to come out.

Arifin came out of his room to meet them. This time he invited his wife to sit with them. Talks began according to Santana's initial plan, and Denny's.

Denny explained everything that happened. Starting from the beginning he knew that Asih had depression. Dicky also has a behavioral disorder. Everything he told Arifin and his wife.

There's a face down there. Yes, of course the face of Arifin's wife. You can imagine, all the betrayal of Arifin against him only known after a series of storms hit his life.

Starting from losing his son in an accident. Accepting the harsh reality that Arifin is having an affair. What is going on now is a responsibility that inevitably she must participate because it is the bad temper of her previous husband.

Destroyed his heart. Tears were no longer able to come out of the sumerbernya. Those eyes remained dry even though perhaps his heart was screaming right through to the doors of the sky.

Now Arifin's eyes are open. That his arbitrary actions caused many people to be injured. Shaken soul. His heart was broken and his feelings torn.

The various complaints presented cannot represent anything in the end. Except, the remnants of sin that he had to redeem with a chest. It was like Arifin was screaming to remember everything but, he was ashamed even of himself.

Santana, and Denny give understanding to the boy so that he gets used to Arifin as well as his stepmother. Not to forget they begged Arifin's wife to love Dicky. Although it seems to sound unfair to Arifin's wife who incidentally as a victim of Arifin as well.

"Sir, forgive us for all this. But we can't do much" Denny said at the end of the conversation.

"It's okay, Mom. It is my fate to live the shackles of life that my husband created!" he said as he turned with eyes full of wounds on Arifin. While Arifin can only look down and not talk much.

"Of course, here the most injured is Arifin's wife. For he must be willing to take on sins that he did not commit. Like the similar situation Santana had experienced.

Santana, and Denny finally quit. They leave Dicky's responsibilities to Arifin. There is a feeling of relief in them.

All the way home. Neither Denny nor Santana spoke. Sometimes I ask each other answers.

"Mas, how's Dicky now?" ask Mariam at another time and opportunity. The woman made a cup of warm sweet tea for her husband. With a series of charming faces, he even still looks beautiful even though he only wears simple house clothes.

"Alhamdulillah, dear. Now Dicky's been taken care of by someone more entitled to take care of and care for him. Hopefully he gets his rights" Denny replied as he sipped tea made by his beloved wife.

Seriate....
