One Heart 2 LOVE

Finally

Arka: I don't know how to say it. But God's plans and surprises are beyond belief. Really, I'm happy.

Sekar: I used to think that happiness was just a fairy tale for those whose names were always behind. But I forget that even the names of those behind have their own happiness that fairy tales do not make. And this is my happiness.

.......

After Sekar and Arka returned, they did not find a single person who had been in the waiting area. There's no Tami, Arman and Jayur there.

"Lho's? Where was?" Ask Sekar while looking to the right and to the left. Looking for the three old men.

"It's here, isn't it?" Ask Sekar.

"I'm glad you're sober" the baritone's voice shifted Sekar's attention and Arka's. They both glanced towards the sound.

"Inside!" Show Arka.

Then they both entered the room where Lestari was lying earlier.

"Mom!" Sekar. The girl ran towards Lestari. Lestari was conscious.

"Dark? Mamah's son?" Unfortunately, the madness has not gone away. The woman still recited the same sentence. He laughed so snarled. Almost like the sound of a kuntilanak.

No matter how crazy or scary your mother is. Sekar still hugged Lestari even though Lestari revolted and continued to beat her.

"It's Sekar. Son of Mamah," repeated Sekar. Her tears are back. He misses Lestari. An old woman who had not seen him for many years. The woman who gave birth to him, raised him even if only temporarily. Even so, Sekar loved him very much. Lestari is the second woman Sekar loves after Siska.

"How about the Sekar and Lestari blood DNA test?" Tami suddenly raised her voice.

Arka. So far all he has thought about is waiting for Lestari to get sane and tell the truth. Arka should have just tested Lestari's DNA right then and there.

"really. Come on now," Arka pulled Sekar's arm.

"God! Where are you going?!" Jerky Tami.

"You want a DNA test" Arka said enthusiastically.

"The doctor did the test. Not yourself. Release Sekar! Let the doctor test it" Tami added. Making Arka chuckle at that very moment.

"Jas. Arka called the doctor," Arka ran out. Calling the doctor. He really can't wait for the results of DNA tests stating that Arka and Sekar are not brothers.

"God! The doctor's here!" Shouted Jayur.

Sontak Arka stopped his run. Arka chuckled in shame. Then scratch his nape that does not itch.

"Eat his mind do not part duren mulu!" Jayur Imbuh. Making Tami--- who is beside him hit Jayur's back steady with a tight punch.

"I asked for time to test the DNA of both" said the doctor.

I glanced at Tami. The old woman nodded as if telling Sekar to follow the doctor's departure.

****

Arka recites the do'a-do'a he memorized. Even Arka reads Surah Yasin in the App on her phone. His mouth did not stop pouting. His heart refused to stop asking.

Arka prayed for Sekar and Lestari's blood to match. Arka pleads that Sekar is not her sister. Arka hopes that Sekar is his soul mate.

"Let's tell Mamah the real story," Tami pulled Arka's arm.

But Arka yanked it. Making Tami aghast right then and there, "Wait for Mah. Arka again read Yasin," said Arka. Makes everything chuckle.

"God! Read Yasin if there is a need!" Syndir Jayur who is currently sticking his body on the wall of the hospital.

"Rather than not at all," said Arka casually.

"Listen to Mamah's story. Read more about Yasin."

Arka pressing the button off the phone. Put the phone in his pants pocket. Then sit down followed by Tami and Arman.

Tami said basmallah. The woman clasped Arka's arm, "Pardon Mama."

"Mamah found out that Viona was Mamah's son recently. After that day talk to Aunt Viona."

The Turn Back On.

That night I went alone to Viona's house. Waiting for Arka and Arman to act was indeed tiring. They move like snails, slow!

From the inside, someone heard saying that I thought it was Aunt or someone who was often greeted by Viona Mamah.

Long story short, we talked outside Viona's house without Viona's knowledge. Just me, Auntie and Uncle Viona.

Then I asked them who Viona really was. Unfortunately, there was no satisfactory statement from them.

"To my knowledge, Viona is the biological child of my sister. I didn't know that you felt that Viona was your son. Why do you think so?" Ask Aunt Viona. His face was already bent. Of course he must be upset with me.

"sorry. You may know for yourself how to bond a Mother and Son. Real strong. And I did get word from someone who said Viona was my son" I said.

"Would you try DNA testing?" Ask Uncle Viona.

I'm nodding. I totally agree. Unfortunately, DNA testing is something we've done before. And, my blood and Viona's blood don't match.

"I tried. But our blood doesn't match. Maybe Viona's blood went to her father's blood" I said.

"What do you mean you're playing back with my sister-in-law-Dad Viona," asked Viona's uncle with teary eyes.

I shook my head, "No. If Viona is my son. Means Viona's not your sister's son. I used to give Viona to someone. Maybe that person is your sister. But they don't tell you who Viona really is" I said enthusiastically.

"Can be. Then how do you know who Viona really is?"

Sorry, this problem turned out to be very difficult for many people. In addition to my family, Viona, several other people such as Viona's uncle and aunt also turned out to be in distress. Moreover, Viona's father and mother are no longer around. I'm getting a little harder to figure out who Viona really is. Because by the time I handed Viona over, I didn't see the face of the person who picked up Viona. All I remember is that this is his real face.

"Who's the guy you're playing crazy with?" Ask Viona's uncle.

I'm down. Shame, "Friends Mas Arman" I said.

"Jas. Just get her a DNA test with Viona" said Aunt Viona.

At first I shook my head. But suddenly I thought of something. It's a miracle. I have the hair of the guy who plays crazy with me.

We asked for Viona's hair. Then test it. Praise God. Their DNA is the same. It finally made me breathe. But it's not enough to get there.

"I think Grandma knows the real story too" said Uncle Viona while we were in the hospital.

I was immediately enthusiastic. Turned my position upright. All the do'a I say. Hoping for Grandma Viona to find out the truth.

"Thank God you're Viona's real mother. Viona is not my granddaughter. He's the kid my daughter found in front of her house."

After getting a hard slap from Grandma Viona's wrinkled hands I then bowed in gratitude. My cry broke instantly. My breath's bustling. Finally, O God. I finally know who Viona really is. I'm sure Viona is my son.

I can only prove everything now. Before, I wanted to prove it because I couldn't wait to hear Viona call me Mother.

However, I realized that it turned out that Viona liked Arka. My steps are blocked. I'm afraid Viona is hurt when she finds out that Arka is her big brother. Therefore, I postponed my steps to prove who Viona was and let Viona like Arka. It's all my fault. It's my fault, I know it. But my path is completely dead-end. I don't know what to do.

After that day, I heard from Mas Arman who said he had Arka pick up Lestari in Yogyakarta. Actually I already knew this news, I just pretended not to know so that I could prepare myself for the next step. I thought that I would wait for Lestari and test Lestari's DNA with Sekar's DNA. If it is the same. I was just about to say that Viona is my son. Although there was strong evidence before.

Now, all I have to do is find Mas Arman's co-worker. Who's been playing dark with me."

*****

Turn Back Off.

Once again Tami stroked Arka's shoulder. Hope Arka is not angry or maybe hold a grudge against him.

"Everything has happened, Mah. Let's take the silver lining from all this. Mama, don't repeat it again." Arka hugged Tami. Makes Tami round her eyes.

Tami knew that Arka was a very good boy. But that's how quickly Arka forgives Tami without even snapping her?

"Thank you Mama for proving the truth. Arka dear Mamah. Arka will also love Viona as well as-"

"Mas Arka!" Arka. He found Sekar with the doctor. Sekar was holding his hand.

"Yes?" Ask Arka and get up from her seat.

"The DNA of Mother Sekar and Mother Lestari alike."

Please slap Arka right now. Prove to him that this is not a dream.

A word that Arka had long wanted to hear at this moment. Words that always disturb the soul of Arka every day. A word so happy and at the same time moving. Like a ruptured boil it feels. Very relieved.

Arka's crying. Arka carrying the body of Sekar. Twisting the girl's body. Makes the girl surprised by surprise but not too happy too.
