His world stopped spinning, his blood stopped flowing, his heart felt frozen, and his tongue suddenly felt faint, it was as if Sumi could no longer utter any words after hearing the news that her parents were long gone. Not to mention the news that Susi is currently struggling, fighting the malignancy of advanced cervical cancer, making Sumi unable to use her mind properly.
The woman's eyes began to redden, and in the next second Sumi's tears fell, drenching her cheeks very profusely.
"With Indonesian being less fluent, we tried to understand every word Valter said. He's looking for you, Susi asks him to look for the only brother he has, he realizes his mistake has been a long time, but the haughty nature of humans makes him silenced, and makes your relationship completely destroyed as it is now." The familiar woman in Nur's greeting spoke slowly, while rubbing the back of Sumi's hand which was currently in her grasp.
Sumi's eyes moved, looking at the woman who had helped her a lot. How much pain it brings out, but there is one very kind family, they did not reach out directly, but if Sumi was in trouble, then they are the ones who give a lot of help without a condition.
"Is this fair, Mom? They left me, threw me away, threw away my son. And after being like this, he asked me to meet him? Do they have any sense? Are they not ashamed?"
Sumi's voice was truly trembling, a lump of flesh that was locked between her ribs felt like it was going to explode with the anger that the woman had been holding for so long.
"Listen. Mother is not justifying their actions, nor is she teaching you. It's just, it would be better if your heart is at peace, forgiving Susi as well as your late parents." Nur stared fixedly at Sumi, as if trying to grab the woman's conscience that was almost submerged in a sea of anger.
However Sumi immediately shook her head, she rejected what Nur suggested.
"It's not fair. They do as they please, so let me do the same now! Mom knew? I found my son already from 20 years ago, but I can't do anything, I have to let my son be raised by someone else. And you know what causes it? They thought I deliberately threw it away, and went back looking just afraid I was caught in the criminal, .. So who's the bad one now? If Susi is suffering there and fighting for her recovery, then I've been fighting for my life for a long time."
"Maybe Susi just wanted to apologize, before she died." Suddenly Nur said that.
Sumi was crying more and more, her feelings were now at a crossroads, her little heart was screaming to defeat all ego, but her anger was clearly blazing like a fire that kept on being doused with fuel, until Abi kept blazing bigger many times over.
"Mom is not forcing. But I promise to tell you Valter's explanation. They were actually trying to see you after Susi forced her to leave and left you after throwing the baby away. But Susi's threats clearly left Valter and your mother's father unable to do anything until they were sickly, and died within a short time. Your mother died first, .. three months after your father's death. Valter came to apologize, not to create a new problem, .. remember! Mother is not defending them, but is just trying to restore the figure of Sumi Larasati who used to be, a cheerful girl, never shutting himself from the outside world, let alone being a vengeful as he is now."
Sumi did not reply, this was quite surprising after a long time she did not return to the village where Sumi was born.
"Don't keep going like this. Let them speak anything, .. but do not be the same man, with a different soul. I know who Sumi is, the villagers know who the good girl is, but only one bad thing they judge you, but not with us. Mom and Dad don't care what you do wrong, which we know you are a human being, the place is wrong. It is impossible if a holy man without making any mistake, we are all sinners, return to being the Sumi we know!"
"From the beginning I had to give up on Ka Susi, even now I still have to give up?"
"Not giving up, just forgive them to make your life feel calm. If they come, then meet bravely, do not be afraid because you have nothing wrong with them."
Finally Sumi nodded, Nur's words were indeed true. His life is not calm, there is a picture where he has to devise a plan to avenge every life that Sumi has experienced, but back again, the calmness does not come after the pain in the more heinous reply, but back again, but that sense of calm will come if his heart is really airy, and tries to forgive all the mistakes of his family.
"Drink first, release all its burdens like rushing water, let the anger go with the bitter memories you have already experienced."
Nur releases his hand on Sumi's hand, grabs a glass of warm tea water, and gives it to Sumi.
The woman accepted it immediately, drinking it slowly, with a feeling that began to feel calm.
"May the truth be opened soon. Believe me one day the boy will look for the whereabouts of his mother." He said to Sumi, and rubbed the woman's back again to feel more calm.
***
The clamps!!
Sumi closed the door of her house, leaning her back there for a while, with her eyes closed and her chest pounding steadily increasing.
He pulled and exhaled a few times, and after feeling a little relieved, Sumi immediately entered the room after pressing on several outlets, until the lights in her small house lit up.
Sumi sat on the edge of the bed, putting the bag on the bed. He tried to be indifferent to what he brought before actually coming home, but some writing that he had not read made his curiosity continue to thrash.
Finally Sumi lost with her high curiosity, the woman pulled back her bag, and brought three letters that she had not been able to read.
One Sumi letter is open. He fell silent and read every handwriting in English.
The expression of every regret, the explanation of why they left him alone, also an apology that is not always read, even until the end of the sentence.
"I forgive you! But please don't ever interrupt me again, I've calmed down with my daughter's affection you threw away." Sumi closed the aurat.
Then he turned to another letter.
It's almost the same, it's just that Valter explained more to the existence of his father and mother before they died. Also Susi who is currently trying to recover with cancer that continues to eat away at the body.
"Es tut uns leid (sorry). Even apologies dominate the letter you wrote, Valter." Sumi chuckles bitterly.
How could they, easily begging for forgiveness, apologize for their mistakes. No matter they say they did it just because of Susi's request and a threat she did, she thinks Valter and her parents are the same. Both have no heart, so easily do they consider one's life and shame, then get rid of his innocent Baby.
Sumi chuckled again, but with tears that fell back to wet a piece of paper in her grasp.
"cheated. The pain, the destruction, the insults and the insults of others, not even rarely the oath of expletions that I received, then in return for forgiveness? that's a fucking cheat, Valter! You should have suffered more than me." Sumi said slowly.
Suddenly his phone in the bag rang, indicating someone was trying to reach him.
"Randy!" Sumi's forehead is wrinkled.
He shifted the green button, and immediately brought the flat object closer towards the earlobe.
"Yes, Den?" Sumi greeted first, while rubbing the corner of her eyes using the back of her hand.
"Mama? It's me." It's me." The soft voice sounded.
Instantly the hot air inside his chest dissipated, turning into a feeling so cold.
"Mama?"
"Humm, .. i-iya Son? What's up?" Sumi flashed a smile, as if Ayumi could see it from quite a distance away.
Disappointed, endless anger, suddenly gone, and his offer turns out to be his own daughter. The figure he had wanted for a long time, and God had been very kind, restoring what should have belonged to that woman.
"Sound mom? What do? Have you eaten, or are you going to sleep?" Ayumi scatters Sumi with several questions at once.
Sumi sighed slowly.
"Mama just came home from Miss Maria's house, this is just about to take a shower, maybe wait for the fried rice cooker to pass by."
"Want me order it here?" Ask Ayumi.
"Could you?"
"Can you, Mama what do you want?"
Sumi fell silent, she kept smiling happily.
"Maa?"
"What am I, who is fruiting."
"Want to soup?"
"Can. But, ... isn't it a hassle?"
"Mama's kidding, huh? Where there is I bothered. Rice wear? Drink it, will I order it too?"
"No, rice is just soup. That's enough."
"All right, I'll order it now. Don't know why I want Mama, I'm afraid Mama's not okay there." Ayumi.
"Mama's fine, .. oh yeah, don't forget to call your mom, and give what you gave to Mama, okay?"
Ayumi was silent for a while, trying to digest Sumi's request, as she slightly did not understand the woman's intentions.
"Dear? Mama's gonna take a shower."
"Heummm, .. alright! I'm going there tomorrow, I miss."
"Mama wait. Remember that! Don't forget your mother's phone, and offer her rib soup."
"Yes, Ma."
"Alright, Mama disconnect, huh?"
"Well Mama …"
"Dear dear, do not forget to drink vitami from the Doctor well, pregnant milk too, so as not to nausea and vomiting."
"Yes." Yeah."
And then the phone line disconnected. Sumi placed it on the bed, with a smile that continued to be seen.
"Look! He loves me Valter, .. You can go with his wife and family. But if you come back later, and ask to see my daughter, I won't allow, you have no rights to her, she's Ayumi, she's just my daughter."
Sumi tidied the envelopes back into the bag, got up and immediately went to the bathroom located near the kitchen at the back of her house.
