Mom For Bhara
Part 51: Almost
"Yeahah! MAMEL...."
"Bhara's... Just calm down, son. Mama must be home..."
"Hiks... MAMA..."
"Shhh... Yes, yes, my dear. Don't cry anymore..."
"What do you want, son? A toy? The junk? Ice cream? Grandpa's gonna buy it all."
"Ndwant... Hix... Bhala wants a mama..."
The entire Adikusuma family and the child's baby sitter were overwhelmed to appease Bhara who continued to roar in search of her mother.
“Bhara... mama will be home soon.. Now stop crying first, yes. Later his chest tight,” said Johnathan softly.
Bhara who was being carried by Johnathan also shook his head, “mau mama chekalang.. ndak want later.”.
“Bhara,” call Alan, “Bhara remember if mama Natasya was in law school?”
Bhara nodded slowly. Although the boy did not really understand what college was, or what law was, but he clearly knew that Natasha was a busy student.
“Well, mama Natasya is now having a practice test, so can't go home first,” lies Alan.
Bhara stopped crying and just as much as she pleased, “ujian?”
“Iya,” sahut Anjani, “mama Natasha must test in order to pass.”
The boy was seen digesting the words of his uncle and grandmother. Everyone smiled with relief when they saw Bhara starting to believe them. Let it lie a little, the important thing is that the child is not fussy anymore.
Not long after, Adikusuma's house guards entered along with some well-dressed people. Everyone in the house looked around and wondered who those people were.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Adikusuma,” said one of the women in their 40s who was dressed neatly.
Hendry was silent when he saw the woman. Being a famous lawyer made Hendry familiar with people who have high positions in the field of law, one of which is the woman.
“Looks like Mr. Adikusuma already knows me,” said the woman in a calm tone, “but I will still introduce myself first.”
“My name is Andin Hartini, I am the head of KOMNAS child protection South Jakarta,” the woman named Andin showed her ID card.
Everyone was shocked and became tense. They were all worried about the bad possibility that would happen.
“So, what's your purpose for coming here, Mrs Hartini?” asked Hendry who actually already knew the purpose of the arrival of the head of KOMNAS child protection and his team.
“I came to pick up Bhara to stay for a while at KOMNAS Child Protection until the case is over,” Andin said.
Their shoulders all slumped down because of Andin's words. Not enough of Adikusuma's son-in-law had to be detained for days, now they want to take the only grandchild of the Adikusuma family.
“No!” exclaim Anjani, “don't try to take Bhara! This house! He won't go anywhere!”
Alan held onto Anjani's shoulder so that her mother could calm down. While Bhara has started sobbing because he saw his grandmother who shouted angry.
“Hiks... Papa..” Bhara tightened his embrace on Johnathan's neck.
“Sorry, Mrs Anjani. Bhara remained in the KOMNAS Child Protection. This is because Bhara is a kidnapping victim, and you are a family of the accused,” said the head of KOMNAS.
Bhara was crying loudly at the foreign woman's words. Although he did not really understand, but he knew that he would be taken away from this house.
“Hiks... Bhala nda want to pelgi...,” omit the boy.
Johnathan's heart ached to see his son cry in fear.
“Please... Don't bring my child..” said Johnathan in a weak tone.
Tough men like Johnathan can beg that for the sake of the child. These few days, he felt very helpless over all the events that befell his family in a row.
The head of the KOMNAS scrunched his forehead confused. However, he agreed to follow Henry. Then, Hendry invited Andin to go to his study to speak with four eyes. Before leaving, Hendry gestured to his family to calm down and trust him.
...----------------...
The entire Adikusuma family was sitting in the living room waiting anxiously for the head of the family who was negotiating with the head of the Child Protection KOMNAS.
“Papa...,” call Bhara who is on Johnathan's lap.
“What Bhala will be fighting with papa?” ask the boy with a teary look.
Johnathan forced himself to smile sweetly at the child, even though his eyes were already very hot to cry.
“No, dear...,” said Johnathan gently, “Bhara will not go anywhere. Bhara will stay with papa, and we will soon be reunited with mama.”
The boy listened to Johnathan's reply with a hopeful look. Though Johnathan himself, in his heart continued to pray that his father managed to convince the head of KOMNAS not to bring his son. Meanwhile, Anjani was already crying softly in Alan's arms.
Tap…
They all turned their heads towards Hendry and Andin who were walking down the stairs. Everyone stood up to hear the outcome of the negotiations just now.
“Alright, Mr. Adikusuma. Then, excuse me first,” say goodbye Andin with a more friendly tone.
Everyone was relieved and astonished by the woman's sudden farewell without discussing Bhara again. After that, the head of the Child Protection KOMNAS left together with his team. They all left the Adikusuma residence without saying anything more.
“Honey,” call Anjani while rushing over to her husband, “what happened? How could that woman just leave?”
Hendry chuckled softly when he heard his wife was so curious.
“Just give a little offer, then we agree,” replied Hendry with implied meaning.
“Dad does bribery?” alan asked in disbelief.
Hendry put his shoulders, “the woman is famous for being assertive because she always appears in the media with her figure who actively defends children.”
“But still, humans will darken the eyes if they have been faced with property and position,” Hendry added accompanied by his kekehannya.
Everyone stared at Hendry full of question marks. No, of course they were happy because Bhara was not taken away. However, they were astonished by Hendry's change in attitude. The wise man who always obeyed the law, has now become a frequent violation of the law.
“Dad,” call Alan, then say carefully, “Isn't the whole act of bribery wrong?”
Hendry looked at Alan and was silent for quite a while. The man realized the look of doubt from the boy and his student. As a father and a lecturer, he should set a good example.
“Dad still has a Conscience, Alan,” replied Hendry with understanding, “dad did this not solely for the benefit of his own father. All this time, I have always been honest in working in the field of law. But, father will not stay silent if he sees those he loves suffer because of the law.”
They all listened to Hendry's words with a feeling of trepidation.
“There is more important than obeying the law, which is to be firm in the stand we consider to be right and not to harm others.”.
“...because the law is not always fair.”
Looks like, Alan got an important private lecture today.
