Chapter 25
"Please son, help us."
I heard my mother's voice tremble with crying. I'm confused what happened to him.
"Why Mom, what's wrong?."
"Our house is on fire, son." Now I hear the voice of my father crying too.
I was shocked to hear the father's words. My body shook and my heart stopped beating.
I turned off the phone and immediately led Devano and ran to bring him back on my bike.
"Where else are you." Mas Adi intercepted me when I was about to gas.
"My parents' house is on fire, I need to get there. Don't stop me mas."
"Lying to you, surely you want to run around again right? Remember Inara, you have to keep the baby in your womb. I don't want ya if my baby-to-be is why because you bring me to wander on." He said while holding my motorcycle handlebars.
"Please don't stop me. They need my help right now, let go."
I was crying so much. Mas Adi seemed to have believed my words, then he let go of his grip and let me go.
"Well, but let Devano stay. Don't get him in your trouble."
He took Devano off the bike. I obeyed him and hit the gas without saying goodbye to Devano.
Along the way, my tears kept pouring out, I could not imagine my parents' current state.
When I arrived, I saw that my mother's house was really on fire. The flames engulfed the entire house with nothing left.
All the residents ran and tried to water the growing fire. I looked for my mother and father in the crowd.
"Son Inara." Calling one of my mother's neighbors, I turned my head and immediately asked for their whereabouts.
"They are currently being evacuated to the homes of the residents. Inara's son is calm, yes, we've called the fire department to put out the fire at your mother's house." Further.
"I want to meet my mom and dad." I said while crying.
"Come, follow my father." He drove me to the house of one of the residents.
Seen mother was crying in the arms of the father and soothed by some residents, my heart was sliced to see this scene.
I ran up to them and hugged my mother and father. They were hysterical with my presence.
I could not help my tears seeing those who were in this condition. I slowly let go of their embrace and tried to calm down
"At that time the father and mother just came home from the market, the mother immediately fell asleep in the chair because of fatigue while the father was hungry and fried his own eggs in the kitchen." Mom wiped her words and cried.
"Perhaps because you also feel tired, he forgot to turn off the stove and the fire grabbed a washcloth next to him and the fire grew bigger. You screamed and woke up mom to run out, we tried to ask for help, but because our house was old so the fire was getting faster."
Mom was crying in my arms. I try to be more firm and calm mom. My heart was sobbing hearing my mother's explanation. I can't imagine how panicked my mom and dad were.
"Son Inara, you better take your mother and father to rest in the room. It's night time, you guys sleep here first." Speak to homeowners who help their mothers and fathers.
"Thank you sir, you're going to evacuate mom and dad here."
"Yes, we want to be together, it is our duty to help neighbors who are experiencing disaster. Now you rest. It's getting dark, and the fire's gone, too."
"Yes, thank you again."
I took my father and mother to the room to rest and calm my mind. All the people who came also started to return to their homes.
"Mom, mom and dad should rest and sleep. Tomorrow we go to my house." I said while confirming the pillow.
Then the two of them fell asleep, I grabbed my mother's hand and kissed her. I really feel guilty for them.
Yesterday I was so happy with my income that I forgot to give it to my parents, I was thinking too much about how to make Adi mas regret, she said, but I forgot to tell my parents and share my happiness with them.
I cried to look at those who were asleep until I closed my eyes.
Then the next day I immediately took my mother and father to my house on a motorcycle. There were no items left that we could carry because everything was already burned.
"Why don't you bring your parents here?"
Said Luna approaching us who just got off the bike.
Mother and father throw views at each other.Many of which I do not explain to them to make them confused.
"Your husband and his mistress are staying here too." Ask my father.
"Let me explain, sir."
"Obviously I live here. This is Adi's house not your unemployed son's house." Said Luna while draping her hands haughtily.
"Don't block me, step aside and let my parents in."
I took my mom and dad to get into the house. But our steps came to a halt when Mas Adi came and blocked the entrance.
"Who allowed them to stay here?"
