Not a Contract Marriage

Stories of the past 2

A man of papa Rudi's age also came near Dira who was still silent in Hera's arms.

"Bapy! Look, Pi. She's Nadir's our daughter, right?" Mami Hera looked at her husband then looked at Dira again with longing.

"Nadir, are you really Nadir? Oh, myGod ... My daughter." Papi Dian hugged Dira along with Mami Hera.

After a while of hugging, the middle-aged couple let go of their embrace on Dira and started staring intensely at the young lady.

"Look, Pi. She is very similar to Mami, only her facial features are slightly different. Also his eyeballs are similar to Papi's, they're all the same." Mami Hera held Dira's cheeks gently.

"The eyeballs that look like Papi are still the same, Mi. Our daughter is really pretty." Papi Dian kissed Dira's forehead full of affection and longing.

"Mommy? Papi's? What does this mean?" Dira finally made a sound after being hit by a feeling that felt so painful for him.

Even up to the real kinipun feelings of Gara's wife is still not careless. Today was really like a surprise for him.

"Sit down, Dian, Hera. Explain slowly with all of us, especially the same Dira. So that all the problems are clear and do not cause misunderstandings," said Ira's grandmother who was also there.

Sam who came with his family earlier was a shock to Ira's grandmother's family. For a long time they had never met. Last time was when Sam and Gara graduated from high school.

Sam's brief explanation of the purpose of their arrival was also very surprising to Ira's grandmother's family.

And now, Ira's grandmother wants to hear everything more clearly.

"Sorry, Aunt. We were too happy to meet Nadir." Mami Hera sat back in her place with her husband.

While Dira is pulled by Gara to sit back to his side. Actually, Hera's mom really wants to sit near Dira. But since all the problems were unclear, he did not dare to ask for more.

Simply know yourself as a guest and should not create a riot. His heart was a little relieved when he saw Dira who was so convinced that it was his biological daughter.

"I will explain everything to you, so that there will be no misunderstanding here." Papi Dian opened his voice with his formal language, because he was used to it.

"You must know that we lost a daughter who was 1 year old, even almost two years old at that time."

"Over 20 years our daughter is missing because she was run away by her nanny. We've been chasing that nanny and getting her in one of those remote villages."

"The nanny hid there after selling our daughter to someone else. She was a baby-seller plotter, pretending to be a nanny to kidnap our son. When we asked him about our son he was carrying. He said that our daughter had been sold after she had cut her hair."

"Our daughter was pruned like a man so that no one would recognize her, and the nanny herself pruned him. When I asked who he was selling it to? He's just saying that he handed our son over to the chief of their cabal."

"Until the police capture all their networks, our daughter remains unaccounted for. Because the guy who bought it dumped our kid when he found out it was a girl, not a boy like they wanted."

"Police also arrested them for it, but our daughter who was thrown away they were still not found. Police have conducted searches around the dump site, to track existing cctv. Yet none of the cctv's they trace our daughter's disappearance."

"Whether he's alive or dead, the police stopped the search after 3 months. We even tried to do our own search, but it didn't work."

"It takes one year of treatment until recovery for Hera to be fully healed. The doctor also said not to go back to discussing the problem that made him able to return to depression. That's why we shut up and don't do anything else."

"We even pulled out all the search information that Hera didn't see even on the street. I don't want to lose another precious woman."

"But somehow Sam graduated from high school at that time. Hera is experiencing symptoms of depression again, he said if he saw a girl who resembled him when he was a teenager. That's why I took my family out of the country to forget all those bitter memories."

"Also to recover our financial situation that began to thin because we had spent to find Nadir and Hera treatment." Papi Dian embraced his wife's shoulder to calm down.

Because ever since Papi Dian started telling bitter memories of their family. Mami Hera began to shed tears, her heart was very sick when she remembered that time.

"The name of our daughter Nadira Anjani Ardian. Anjani from last name Hera, while Ardian my own name. Sam, who asked for his sister's name, was named his mother at the time. Because Sam said that his sister looks a lot like his mama."

Papi Dian looked at Sam who was looking down withstanding the sadness of his heart as well. The dark days of the family at that time really hurt to be reinvigorated.

"Whether it's coincidence or fate, Gara's wife named Nadira Anjani, maybe it's also what makes Sam more convinced that your wife is his sister, Ga."

Papi Dian looked at Gara who was still silently listening and hugged the crying Dira. But his expression was flat and his gaze was empty.

"I was hesitant at first, Ga. What else when you came to my office, I didn't pay much attention to your wife because we were joking. But I'm grateful that you brought your wife to see me. The test results will only come out in 3 days, later we will know everything after the results come out."

Sam reveals everything he felt when he first saw Dira.

Dira himself who heard the word test so remembered the DNA test he did with Sam. Gara's wife stood up from her seat and stepped upstairs.

"Where are you going, honey?" Tanya Gara was going after Dira.

"Let's go, Ga. Maybe Dira needs some alone time." Mama Ella held her son back from pursuing her.

"But, Ma. I can't keep my wife alone, she's less fit." She looked at her mother for understanding.

When Ella's mama was about to open her voice again, Dira had already seen herself with a paper in her right hand. There is also a white envelope that looks dirty.

Dira approaches Mami Hera and papi Dian.

"What was this like when I was a kid?" Dira showed some pictures of himself as a child until adolescence while still in the middle bench first.

Mami Hera took a picture of Dira on the table. Suddenly the woman again cried to see how the little picture of the child. Even the photo of teenage Dira who looks so beautiful even though the picture is dirty.

"Pi! This is the teenager Mami saw on the street when we got home from Sam's school." Mami Hera pointed to one of the photos of Dira wearing a blue white uniform.

"Mommy's not wrong, Pi. Mami did see Nadir." Glad she was looking at her husband.

"Look at the writing below, Mi." Sam told the mother of the writing under the picture of one of the photos that was in the woman's hold.
