Not the Wrong Destiny

Aneh

　

　

Farhan still faithfully attached the flat object in his ear, even though Metha's voice had changed with the tut sound of the operator. The man did not understand Mahe's way of thinking. Though only yesterday he gave him a lesson for hurting his cousin, and today the man bravely approached Leddy who was being treated there.

“What happened to Leddy?” a voice that appeared from behind him made Farhan turn his head. The man was surprised to find someone standing in front of him.

“Uncle?” Farhan could not believe what he saw, his mobile phone almost fell down. It was fortunate that Farhan was sprightly and immediately pocketed it again.

“Why with Leddy, Farhan. From now on uncle heard you talking and kept asking Leddy. Where is he now?” asked the middle-aged man with dim eyes.

Farhan was silent, not answering. The man stepped towards her then hugged the man. “Sorry, Uncle. I can't tell Uncle about Leddy,” he said in between hugs.

“I'm his father, I deserve to know where he is.” The man who claimed to be Leddy's father also let go of Farhan's embrace violently.

“It turns out Uncle is still aware of having a daughter here.” Farhan's words were so piercing, the man smiled wryly.

“What do you mean, Han? Of course I'm aware, she's my daughter.”

“If she's Uncle's daughter, then why would Uncle leave her and Auntie? Uncle prefers the widow over his own son and wife,” he said in a slightly loud tone.

The man fell silent, regretting all his actions that could have left his daughter when he was a child. He also did not expect to get a negative response like this from his own nephew.

“Uncle regrets, Han. Uncle Khilaf, everything that happens outside of Uncle's own reason. Never thought of leaving them, but he and his son also need Uncle.” Leddy's father shed tears, regretting all his deeds all along.

“Already, Uncle. There's no point in regretting, it's all over. Rice has become porridge, will not be able to return like rice.”

“What happened to Leddy?” ask him again.

“Leddy was in an accident and had bleeding in the brain, at this time he is still not awake after surgery,”.

Leddy's father looked shocked, thinking about the fate that befell his unfortunate daughter.  On the one hand, there was someone even more shocked to know this truth. He overheard a conversation between the uncle and the boy. All this time he did not know that his father had a wife and biological children.

Hearts are sliced, hearing this news is more painful than a breakup. If he knew a long time ago, maybe he would visit his stepbrother and his mother.

“Yes God, how unfortunate your fate is, son.” Farhan hugged his battered Uncle again with this news.

“Already, Uncle. Pray that Leddy will soon wake up,” said Farhan trying to calm down while patting his uncle's shoulder.

“She's my sister, even though she's just a half-sister. But why didn't mom and dad tell me? Why are they hiding this from me?” Kaffa rubbed his face violently, the man had absolutely no idea about his family.

From behind the wall where he stood, Kaffa saw Farhan's doctor and his father leaving. They seemed to be going somewhere that Kaffa didn't know where.

Time still shows at one o'clock in the afternoon, but Kaffam chose to go home early with the reason again not feeling well. Automatically his duties will be handled by Monika and Ruli, a college friend with him. Kaffa couldn't wait until five, but he couldn't wait to get an explanation from his mother.

By riding his own motorbike, Kaffa's eyes focused on the streets. His face looked dull, his mind was being showered by a thousand questions. The man sped up the speed of his motorbike, penetrating the streets crowded by other vehicles without thinking about the risks.Kaffa arrived home safely, in a hurry he got off the bike and went into the house.

“Mother...Mother,” cried out loudly, the voice echoed in every corner of her house.

“Kaffa, why are you, anyway, screaming? Later Shajea woke up lo,” replied ibunyv from upstairs.

Kaffa raised his head, looking at the mother who looked so great. “I want to talk to mom. Can mom get down!”

His mother came down at the request of his son, then approached Kaffa who was already sitting in the middle room.

“What's up? Why are you home at this time?” he sat next to Kaffa.

The man slightly shuffled, making the mother look at him clueless. “Why are you, anyway? Kayak disgust sitting next to mom!”

“I want to ask something this same, and I want you to answer honestly.”  Kaffa looked at him with sharp eyes.

“Ask what? I will definitely answer, kok.”

“What is the relationship between me and doctor Leddy?”

“Bu, don't give up. I'm sure you're no stranger to hearing that name, right?”

“Mom don't know, baby. I don't understand the meaning of this question.Why are you, anyway? Return home suddenly, after that ask a confusing thing like this.”

“I know mom lied. Be honest with me, Mom. Why did you take the father away from his mother doctor Leddy?” Kaffa almost shed his tears, his chest so tight he said so to his own mother. While the woman who had given birth to him was even relaxed.

“So you already know? Who told you, what doctor Leddy?” tanyanya cynic.

“Means?”

“Kaffa, I'm doing this for you, for your future. I do not want you to grow up without the assistance of a father,” he said while standing.

Kaffa was furious, the man was standing behind his mother who was shaking her waist. “I do not need to be accompanied by my father if the man you marry already has a family. I will still grow up without a father, why would you do that? Seizing a husband from a woman and keeping a father away from his daughter?” kaffa shouted loudly.

The mother turned around, then slapped Kaffa until the man fell onto the sofa. “Please, Kaffa. So the child should you be able to appreciate your mother's hard work, not even corner the mother like this.”

Kaffa held her red cheeks, the tears she tried to keep falling down. Kaffa was so embarrassed by his mother's actions, he was even embarrassed to see Leddy's doctor later.

“Sorry, Mom. I cannot appreciate a happy person above the suffering of others, even if it is my own mother. I don't want to be an ungodly child, and I don't want to be the one to take away someone else's property. I'm sad, Mom. I didn't expect you to be like this, all this time I thought that I was the luckiest kid in the world. Have a good mother and an understanding stepfather. But, I was wrong, it turned out that I was the most unfortunate child. Have a mother who could snatch the happiness of people.” Kaffa passed by, left his mother and headed to his room on the second floor.

“Basic children do not know themselves, it is good to have parents like mothers, even not good at thanking,” yells that are ignored by Kaffa.

Fina tried to control her emotions, as she was about to turn around, her husband was already standing on the doorstep and watching the quarrel between the two.

“Mas Malik.” Fina's face looked tense. Her husband's eyes were so piercing that he could not speak.

“Mas from anywhere,” he said as Malik passed by.

The man stopped, looking at Fina blankly. “From the hospital where my daughter works.

The mother of Kaffa was surprised, did she not hear wrong? Why did her husband come there? Does Kaffa know all this from her husband?

“So you told Kaffa everything? What do you mean, Mas? You want to make me look bad in front of my own son?”

“Although I haven't said anything to her, you are indeed the worst mother in the world. Mother who could slap her son when all his secrets were revealed. You're really outrageous Fina.” The middle-aged man passed.

Kaffa still looked sad, he had not stopped shedding tears when he learned of the mother's cruelty. One side he felt hit and on the other he was very sad with the incident that happened to Leddy.

Geck!poke!poke!

The man ignored the knocking sound, without waiting for an answer from the owner, a person appeared from behind the door.

“Kaffa, can I come in?” ask carefully.

“Come in.”

The middle-aged man walked in and sat down next to his son. Although there is no blood relation, but Malik loved Kaffa as much as he loved Leddy.

“Are you sad?” Kaffa nodded. “Dad is also sad.” Further.

“Why would you marry my mother? I have a wife and a son.”

“Nak, father was guilty in the past on Leddy and also his mother. Confused what to do? Your father's request is very heavy for you. We were good friends and at the last moment he asked father to marry your mother so you could have a surrogate father after he was gone.”

“Then dad left doctor Leddy? Dad doesn't think about his feelings?”

“Father knows this is very hard for him, until now Leddy still hates dad. Father's intention was to come to the hospital today to meet him, but my poor daughter was in trouble.” Malik cried, Kaffa hugged him tightly.

“I understand dad, don't cry anymore. Kaffa promises to bring you together later. We must pray that Dr. Leddy will soon be awake.”

“Thank you, Son. You can understand father.”

“I've considered father like my own real father. So, if there's a problem don't be harbored again. Share with me dad, Kaffa is ready to be a good listener.”
