My Sorting Comes When He's Already Gone

Gibran's Rage

"This-" My mouth was locked when I saw this boy's face his face was very similar to someone's, especially from his nose and eyes. As I tried to calm this boy down, from a distant direction a voice called out Arka's name.

"Carca!" I looked the other way, there was one woman approaching me while calling Arka's name.

"Arka, why are you playing so far away." Suddenly my mouth opened wide, as the woman got closer to me.

"Arka, you're why son. How crying?" he said without seeing me one bit.

"Bella?" I thought, the woman finally saw me and looked at me with a normal face. After looking at me for a long time, he looked back at Arka.

"Why are you here? How do you cry?"

"That's the bus anyway Mah."

"Fell down, my goodness. Eat it carefully dong, yes already, Mamah fat ya." When he was holding Arka, he immediately left. But I held him.

"Bell, what's an Ark?" I asked him to stop his steps, unfortunately he did not turn his body. "Bell, this is Mas. Did you forget about me?" I kept saying it, but I wasn't influenced by it. "Bell's." I called her name once more, and she turned her body around.

"I'm sorry, do we know each other?"

DEG...!

"Bell, why can you talk rich like me. It's me, Gibran. Your ex-husband, the kid you're carrying is Arka, right? Our kid?" He was still quiet, but not with me. I was so happy when I met Bella, I really missed her, God.

"Gibrans?" I looked up, and my mother called me. "You again what son, than I was waiting for you to take pictures."

"Mom, it's Bella same Arka."

"What, where?" When my mother's eyes saw Bella, she was so shocked to see her former daughter-in-law and granddaughter before her eyes. "Yes, geez. Is that Bella? Yes, Allah. How can we meet." Mom walked up to Bella and her granddaughter, she was so happy when she met her ex after 3 years of separation.

"Bell, I miss you. You've been anywhere all this time." When my mother wanted to hug Bella, she immediately avoided stepping back.

"Don't approach me, who are you? I never knew you. Why are you suddenly acting so familiar, as if we knew each other." My mother was immediately shocked to hear Bella's words, as well as myself.Had she put hatred towards my mother.

"Bell, this is Mom. When you forget, you used to live with us."

"I'm sorry, I don't know you again. So please pay me a farewell." He left us both. Naturally, if he behaves like that towards us, maybe hatred and resentment are embedded in his heart.

"Bran, how'd Bella be like that, Mom? In fact, I miss her very much. I want to hug her, if I can, I want her back to us."  I didn't respond to Mother's words, I was still focused on seeing Bella who had gone far away. Bella has really changed, she got more beautiful when she parted with me. Even her body is getting filled up like never before when she was with me.

It's getting late, when I want to go home. My eyes unintentionally looked towards the car park at the end, I saw that Bella was getting ready to go home too. Not wanting to lose my chance, I walked towards him.

"Mas Gibran, where are you going? Mas?" Ayu keeps calling me, but I don't care. The important thing is that I get to see Bella again.

"Bella's? You want to go home, right?" I asked, he immediately turned to me at a glance and again ignored me. "Bell, may I ask.  Where do you live now? Do you still live in your parents' house?"

"Bella, come on in! We're all about to leave" said the male voice inside. None other than my father-in-law, when he looked at me, his face suddenly turned sour. I smiled at him, but he didn't care. "Bella, let's go home. Later on the road can be jammed."

"Yes, sir." When Bella wanted to get into the car, for some reason, my hand held her.

"Bell, I have something to talk to you about. Please don't go yet."

"Detach, who are you? Don't touch me!" She firmly brushed my hand away, again holding her arm. Suddenly my father-in-law got out of the car with a face full of emotion.

He immediately pulled Bella to get into the car, while my body was pushed until I retreated backwards. "Go from before my son and me! Don't you ever show up in front of me!"

"Sir, I'm sorry. I just want to see Bella and Arka."

"What is your relationship with my children and grandchildren? In my son's eyes, you're a stranger."

"Sir, I am the father of your grandson. You have no right to say that, what a grandfather should say that." I kept defending myself for not accepting, I was called a stranger, no matter what. Arka is my biological son, my flesh and blood.

"Weepy..!" He threw his saliva in any place. "Fuck my biological father, all this time my grandson has never had a father. He always lived with his mother for 3 years until now without the help of his father, suddenly there was a man who did not know himself claimed to be the father of my grandson. Don't dream of you!"

"But, Sir-"

"Go from before me, and take care of your mother and your wife!" From far away, a mother and Ayu approached me. I was shocked to see that there were parents from Bella.

"Sir Sugeng?" said mother. "Yes, God. This is Mr. Sugeng, Bella's father, right?" Bella's father did not respond to my mother's words, yes there was a very cold look. When my mother wanted to shake hands with Bella's father, she immediately avoided.

"You who? Why did you suddenly say my name? Do we know each other?"

"Here I am, Gibran's mother. I Train Mr."

"Hoh, I'm Train." My mother smiled broadly when Mr. Sugeng remembered my mother. "Mother Ratih, who used to make my son suffer every day huh? Ratih's mother who used to like slandering my son to everyone if my son is lazy and his work is just out of the husband's money, right?" she made my mother jerk, did Bella suffer all the circumstances of her former household.

"I-I mean Mr Sugeng?"

"Don't pretend to forget, I already know everything about Mother's treatment of my child. As long as my son is married to your son, my son is always babu every day. Even my son has always been insulted and slandered by you, until everyone thinks my son is a brash ghost!" My mother immediately stuttered we Mr. Sugeng knew everything about him treating Bella in my house.

"Sir Sugeng, please don't blame my son. My son doesn't know anything, what's wrong is me. I'm sorry I did something bad to Bella, so I'd like to apologize to her."

“There is no need for you to apologize, everything has been destroyed. All my children are useless in the eyes of others. And now you want to apologize to my son? Don't dream!”

“Please give me a chance, I miss my granddaughter and also Bella. What should I do to make Bella forgive me?” She kept begging even her tears out of her eyes. It feels like this chest hurts so much to see the attitude of the mother.

“If you want to get an apology from my son, clean is his good name. It is common to everyone in your village. Tell them all, that my son is not who you slander.” My mother immediately stuttered with the words of Mr. Sugeng. How can he clean the name of Bella who has been ugly in the eyes of people. Almost one village knows that Bella is not a good ghost in my mother's eyes. Due to my mother's slander, Bella became the subject of gossip and her name became ugly.

“Pak, I was wrong. I was wrong for doing bad things to Bella. I shouldn't have done that to Bella. I'm khilaf, sir. Please just wrong me. Don't my son.” Mother cried withstanding the pain of her actions.

"Both are wrong, neither of you are right in my eyes!  You two are despicable humans in my eyes. Right now, you guys are leaving in front of me. Or I'll slash both of you'll be in the neck!" I hurriedly dragged my mother away from Mr. Sugeng. If he is angry, he can be dangerous. Luckily when I divorced her son, she didn't come to see me. If I had come to see me, maybe my life would have drifted to another world.

On the way home, I was still thinking about Bella. I don't know why this longing is so big.

"Bran, what Bella really hates is the same Mom. Until he and his parents don't want to see Mom." I just shook my head, I was lazy to answer my mother's questions. Clearly, this feeling is very eager to meet with Bella and also my son.just blocked by Bella's parents, especially her father. Seen from the look on his face, anger, disappointment, hatred was clearly emanated on his face.

"Mas, Mas Gibran."

"What, Yu," I replied lazily.

"From now on you just shut up. You must be thinking about your ex-wife again."

"What are you talking about."

"Finally from then on you kept quiet, asked this that's the answer is just deheman aja."

"Sorry, Yu. Mas again lazy to talk, please you shut up for a moment. We're a little home."

"Currently, you're getting smoother! If you want to meet your ex-wife. Yes, it's there, turn it around, go home to my parents' house now!" nagelnya, make me fail to focus on driving, as a result my car a little ogled to the side of the road. Fortunately, I can still control it, otherwise. I can be sure this car will be rolled over.

"Mas! If you bring the car that's right dong! I still love my life, I don't want to die silly with you. I still want to live!"

"YOU CAN SHUT UP NO!" I beat him with emotion. "IF YOU WANT TO LIVE LONGER, PLEASE GET OUT OF THIS CAR," I shouted again, Ayu could only be silent a thousand languages look at me who was already emotional. I exhale to lower my emotions, "please, don't provoke my emotions. I'm tired, my head's dizzy." Silent already, not a single person spoke including my mother.

After coming back from the top, I went straight to the guest room. I was lazy to sleep in the room together with Ayu.

"Yes?" Ayu turned to her in-laws, "please don't look for my son. He's dizzy again, you shouldn't talk much. Let alone make him emotional, fortunately we can still survive until home. Otherwise, we could've lost our lives." Ayu only snorted annoyed at the words of her in-laws. Honestly, she felt hurt when her husband snapped at her. Moreover, her husband had met his ex-wife. Scaring her, if one day her husband will return with his ex-wife.

"Where should I be, ma'am? I don't want to, Mas Gibran remembers his ex-wife. I'm afraid my husband's gonna turn him back on his ex-wife." Madam Ratih frowned as her ex said that.

"You mean?"

"Ih, Mother. Rich times do not understand. Ma'am, don't let Mas Gibran return the same ex-wife, if Mas Gibran meets Bella, I won't stay silent!" Bu Ratih could only shake his head at Ayu's attitude.

"If you want to remain Gibran's wife, behave like a good ghost. So it's the wife who obeys the husband, don't be a spoiled wife, so it's a useful wife."

"I mean Mom, I have to be like Bella. Which is always told this. Keep being a free babu in this house?"

"Kok you can think like that anyway?"

"If I act like Mom's ex-daughter-in-law, I'm sure. Mother will treat bad things with me, ugly my name to everyone, slander here and there, I will be the gossip material in this village." Madam Ratih was surprised by Ayu's thoughts. Why could he think that way about himself.

"Yes, how can you be with Mom? Your mind is so small. How could you do that to you." Ayu smiled faintly seeing the in-laws defending her.

"Mom, don't forget. Before I married Mom's son, I always told Bella the bad in front of me. Telling Bella's disgrace to me when we ate at the restaurant first. Did mom forget? That's why I don't want to act like Bella, whose pride I always trample on until she leaves this house." Finished talking, Ayu decided to go to the room. He was tired of the long journey after coming home from the top.

As for Ratih's mother, she could only stare at the sadness after Ayu said that to her. It is true what Ayu said. All the ugliness of Bella, her disgrace, even her attitude she always told Ayu all.

"It is fitting that Ayu's attitude cannot be regulated, he always defies when told to do homework. Turns out, this was all my fault. Cause Ayu's being bad because of me." Slowly madam Ratih dropped her body weight on the floor, she was bowed with a bitter cry, "yes, God. Yes, MyGod. Sorry for all my past mistakes, if I hadn't done anything bad to Bella. Maybe none of this will happen." Again, the coach cried out for his regrets.

...

“Mas, why are you sleeping in the guest room?” Suddenly, Ayu came into my room. I forgot to lock the door.

“Sorry, Yu. I am sleeping with you again. Please close the door, Mas cape Yu.” He grabbed his foot and walked out. Not to forget he slammed the guest room door until the walls of my house shook.

“Basic, chick bar-bar.” Tired, I crumpled myself on the bed and looked up at the sky.

I remember the words of my ex-in-law. What he said was true, as long as I was married to Bella and lived here with my mother. He always gets slander from people around the house. In fact, when he complained about himself in slander, I was indifferent and did not care about him.

"Mas, please tell your mother. Why would he spread slander about me to the neighbors around?" bella complained, accompanied by her cries.

"Why Bell, that's an exaggerated problem."

"Your mother is very much like me, when I was called a brash ghost, because she did not take care of her food, but every day I always prepare food for your mother." He could only cry as much as he could until breathing was hard, unfortunately I didn't care. I prefer to go out of the room rather than having to hear complaints about him that are always slandered by people around. When I came out of the room, my mother was already standing in front of my door.

"Wife why? Rich mom hear the noise? Why else is he?" my mom looks pissed.
