“Mama why? How to cry?” Chan's voice surprised Binar.
The boy looked at his mother with questions. He tried to sit.
“Mama is sad because Chan fell from the motor?” Guess Chan.
Binar nodded. Sit in front of Chan. “Mama is sad to see Chan hurt.”
Chan hugged his mother tightly. Rubbing the back of Binar with his tiny hands. Make the tears of the Binar more and more flowing.
“Im sorry Chan, Ma. Chan promised not to get hurt again. So that Mama is not sad anymore.” Chan said by pulling away from hugging Binar.
“Mommy's son does pinter.” Praise Binar while gently rubbing his son's head.
Really, that feeling of unwillingness is getting bigger. Leaving pain in his heart. Bring sadness that hits his chest in a row.
He still hoped that fate would not be this cruel to him. He still hopes that Chan is not the biological child of Pamungkas and Reanty. He no longer wants to deal with them.
Twice his heart ached caused by the man named Pamungkas. He won't be able to hold it for the third time.
Why does the ultimate always appear to bring a story that ends painfully for him? Kenpa the man always comes up with a story that ends with his suffering?
“Nduk?” Call Rukayah from behind the door.
The sparkle quickly wiped away her tears as the door opened.
“Lho? How to wake up, Chan?” Tanya Rukayah got closer to the bed.
“Mama sad, Uty. Because Chan fell from motor.” Adu Chan's.
Rukayah rubbed Chan's head slowly. “Uty same Kakung also sad. That's why Chan is sleeping again. Let the spit heal.” Rukayah Kayu.
Chan nodded enthusiastically. He wants to heal so that no one is sad anymore because of it.
Binar came out of the room after putting Chan back to sleep. He approached his parents who were still sitting on a sofa.
“You okay, Nduk?” Tanya Ustadz Shuhada's. He was very worried about the situation of Binar.
“Binar is not willing, Dad. Binar will not be willing if until someone takes Chan from Binar. Chan everything for Binar, well.” Binar said as she shed tears.
“Iya, Dad knows. No one will take Chan away from you. Chan is also my grandson. I'll try to protect him as much as I can. But, nduk, if it is true that Chan is the biological child of the Ultimate Nak, he still has the right to take Chan back. There is a blood bond between them. And we have absolutely no right to break that rope. Moreover, we know the true story. We'll find a way out when everything is clear later.” Ustad Syuhada gave his daughter understanding.
Binar was more and more reluctant to hear the words from his father.
“Busy also not willing if until Chan was taken the same doctor. But we have to think clearly in the situation as it is today. We do’a, hopefully there is a way out of this problem. So no one gets hurt.” Rukayah.
“Why? Why is the ordeal that comes near this heavy Binar, Dad? If God believes that Binar is capable and strong to pass this ordeal, then he is too hopeful for Binar. It's too heavy. Binar can barely afford.”
“Sssst... Do not be so prejudiced against Him. This test is an opportunity. The opportunity to better our faith. The opportunity to get closer to Him. All the trials that come to us are His form of love. He wants us to be more engaged and closer to Him. If temptation is His hope, then we must live up to it. Make God proud of our faith. That we can get through it really well. That God is not wrong to hope for us through the trials he sent.”
Binar was silent again. He fully justified his father's words.
Astaghfilullah... Lirih Binar in the heart. He cupped both palms to his face. To ask Allah for forgiveness for prejudging the Giver of Destiny.
*****
The ultimate car has entered the alley in luxury housing. He immediately went home to his parents' house after returning from the Binar family residence. He had to tell them everything. I don't think he could bear this story himself.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Wa’alaikum salam.” Replied Hendrana and Haya who were watching tv in the family room.
He threw his body on the sofa. He leaned his head while closing his eyes with his arms. Sigh in deeply before starting to make a sound.
His parents were waiting for him impatiently. “Pam?” Ask Hendrana.
Put the plastic-wrapped toothbrush on the table.
“Why is your face like that? What's the problem?” Search Hendrana.
“What address is wrong?” Guess Haya.
Pamungkas. Looking up at his parents. “The address is not wrong, Pa, Ma. That address is real. And the boy was there. But...” I don't know how to continue the sentence.
“But why? Story don't half-half.” Hardik Hendrana's.
“The person who has taken care of the child, is Binar.”
Hendrana furrowed his brows when he heard the name Binar. He still remembered the name of the nurse who had to be sacrificed to save thousands of employees.
“Nurse who was that time?” Ask Hendrana make sure.
Finally back to nod.
Like knowing what complexity they will face, Hendrana rewinds his body to the back of the sofa. He took a deep breath and threw it away. Then closed his eyes with furrowed eyebrows.
“Who, Pa?” Ask Haya who doesn't understand.
“Mama still remember the girl who got involved in my divorce scandal with Rea? Who had to be removed from the hospital, his name was Binar. And he's been taking care of my son all this time.”
“What? How can?” Haya was surprised not to play. Didn't expect that all of those events would continue to connect with the girl. It was as if God was testing his family and asking them to account for the mistake they had made to the girl's family.
“Keep why did you bring that toothbrush?” Hendrana asked pointing at the toothbrush on the table with his chin.
“Cause of mastiin, Pa. Let everything be clear. DNA test results will be proof of claims that the child is my son.”
“How important is the Binar family? They've been taking care of the kid all this time. Papa couldn't bear to hurt them again. We have sinned a lot with them.”
“Entah how later. But obviously, once the DNA test results come out, I'll be there again. I promised Ustadz Syuhada to find the best way out. May Allah show you the best way in which no one is hurt.”
“Amen... Yes Allah..” Hendrana and his wife answered simultaneously.
After Pamit with his parents, Pamungkas went up to the second floor, then entered his room which was still very well maintained. He threw his body on the bed. Covering his face with his arm.
He tried to find the answer why destiny always makes him dwell around Binar. There was an incident that required him to deal with the girl.
His mind went back to running. Remembering all the memories and feelings associated with Binar.
