Not the Loan

32. Sadness Sukma

It has not been felt for a few days that the family of Amanda and Gilang lived together in the land of people. Tomorrow they have agreed to return home with Amanda and Gilang.

The whole family is always in the guest room. The new sukma felt something like this was very happy. During his new life, Sukma felt a sense of warmth when gathering with family.

"Oiya Sukma tomorrow I have to take you home because we are going home" said Gilang as everyone gathered.

"What did you say Gilang, did not her husband leave her to you? Then if she gave birth who would accompany her later. Already let Sukma come with us," said Bhaskara's grandfather who felt unbearable if he had to leave Sukma alone.

"But the cake."

"There is no but-but, Sukma will come home with us. As grandfather takes care of Amanda, grandfather will also take care of Sukma like grandfather's own grandson," he said.

Amanda who was standing next to Gilang immediately hugged him from the side. Amanda seemed to understand what Gilang said to grandfather. While Sukma was so moved when grandfather said that until his eyes glazed over.

During his life Sukma never got complete affection from his parents. His father left Sukma and his mother when he was a child just for the sake of another woman.

The Flashback

"Where are you going? Don't leave us alone, I don't have anyone anymore" Sinta said when she saw her husband tidying some of his clothes into a sizable bag.

"Have let me go. I'm gonna get out of here. I can't stand living like this, I'm going to go with a beautiful woman and also rich" cried Gunawan who did not pay attention to his son at all even though he was crying.

As a 7-year-old boy, Sukma understood very well that his father would leave him and his mother. Although Sukma knows that his parents always fight but Sukma does not want to lose one of them.

Sukma tried hard to resist the departure of his father, but what power of his tiny hand is not strong hold his father's departure.

"Mas I beg for the sake of our son," said Sintia once again. She knelt down before her husband. But apparently Gunawan also did not pay attention to the cries of his wife who loved him very much.

"No way, I gotta go. You take care of your own son!" pekik Gunawan who now really left his son and wife.

While Sinta and Sukma can only lament the departure of her husband. Sinta was so devastated by all these events. Not to mention that she felt hurt because of her husband's betrayal, now Sinta must accept the fact that the husband she once loved so much was willing to leave her.

Since her husband's departure, Sinta has struggled alone raising her daughter. Even all the work he did just to be able to finance his son.

"It's okay, son. No matter what happens, we can live this life. As long as you are always with mother, mother will always take care of you," said Sinta while hugging her favorite daughter.

Sukma was crying in his mother's arms. Since then Sukma has been feeling so hurt. Throughout his life he would never be able to forget what his father did.
