With heavy steps and a faster beating heart I stepped down the hallway that would lead me to meet the suspects. In my heart I kept suggesting to myself that I should be strong and should not be weak before them.
Tocktails
''Excuse me sir, someone wants to meet with the attackers who were caught last night''
The police officer who drove us asked his friend for permission to bring us and the suspects together.
''Please sit in this room ma'am, soon the suspects will be brought here''
''Sir, sorry in advance, is it okay if I want to meet directly with the mastermind. I wonder who he is and what his purpose is to hurt my family'' My request to the police officer.
''Well ma'am, I'm sorry''
It was just me and Hans in this room, Dita and Claudy didn't want to go in. Not do not want to enter actually, I do not want bu Dita shocked if met with mom Rena, do not let bu Dita fall ill again because of shock.
''Hans, the father of the police said that the mastermind of our attack was also caught. You must know the guy, son, I'm sorry if you have to punish them, son. Maybe you'll object because after all they've been babysitting you from little boy''
I said to my son when the police officers passed to bring the suspects to meet us, precisely the masterminds, namely Ms. Rena and Sandra. Until now I still do not understand very well, why they hate me and my family so much.
''Please sit''
The voice of a police officer made me immediately turn my eyes towards him. It turned out that Rena and Sandra were already sitting in front of us, I clasped Hans's hand tightly, as fear swept over me.
''Calm mom, don't worry that Hans will protect you, '' My son whispered, as if understanding my current condition.
I nodded my head and looked closely at the two people who were in front of me at this moment.
''Oh, so you're the one who wants to meet us. Hahaha are you scared now? I know you must be scared, your problem with me is not over. After I get out of here I will make a calculation with you, said Ms. Rena with a sharp look towards me and my son.
''And you, the child who does not know in profit is good I raised you but what recompense do you give? I really hate you even more, Sandra said as she turned her gaze to my son.
I can't look weak and be afraid to face them, I have to prove that I can protect my children.
''Yes, I want to meet you both. Oh yes, you need to know that we already know your rotten plans to harm my children. And I'm sorry, I don't think this time you'll ever be free again, because no one's going to set you free''
I can smoothly reply to his words, somehow the courage from which I can answer the two humans who have even traumatized me. I saw my son, his white face had now turned red, I knew my son was now holding back the emotion of hearing both of them.
''Dear Oma Rena and Ms Sandra, sorry for putting you in jail. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, this time no one can get you out of jail. Who's gonna get you out? Papa's? Will not be able to my dear Rena, do you forget that my papa has no treasure now? And I won't let you free from here and though anyone sets you free I will look for you wherever you go. If the police can't punish you then I will punish you in my own way and my own hands. Oma and mom must still remember, right, what if I was punishing someone?''
My son smiled strangely looking at the two people before him. Looking at my son's strange smile, I saw the look of a frightened face on the faces of Rena and Sandra. Both of them compactly lowered their heads no longer staring intently at me and Hans. I don't know what happened in that big house? I don't know what my son has done so Rena and Sandra can't look at my son anymore after he said that he would punish Rena and Sandra if they were free. I don't know what secrets my son has hidden from me.
After that there was no more conversation between us because the time given to visit was up so we had to get out of the room immediately. I'm still wondering about all the meaning of my son's words 'Oma and mom must still remember what if I'm punishing someone?'. The words of my son kept ringing in my head, without me noticing that I had hit someone's strapping body.
''Sorry'' I said to the figure I just hit.
Soon I'll be too late without waiting for my apology. I saw at the end of the hall Claudy and Dita was waiting for us. Claudy waved her hand at us, I knew for sure she was waving towards her brother.
''Is mom okay?'' Ask son.
''Yes son, I'm fine. Mother is just a little dizzy, maybe mother is hungry, '' My answer is lying when she had eaten.
Two days after the arrest, we all started our holiday in this village, because we only had two weeks on vacation here. I don't know anymore how the assault case went that day. Ms. Dita and her lawyer took over the case, saying that if I just have to focus on my kids for this matter let her and her lawyer take care of it.
During this time, we walked to various places. We also visited my chips factory and my bakery. There was one thing that came as a surprise when we arrived at the bakery, I saw Rivaldi and Piter, my two sons' friends working in my bakery.
''Hello, son of Rivaldi, son of Piter. You guys work here, boys?'' I asked both of them.
''Yes ma'am, we help the parents ma'am, mumpung still holiday'' said Rivaldi.
''Sorry mom, what are you doing in our village? I mean is mom recreational here? Usually many people from outside the city who make this factory a tourist spot. Mother said, the owner of this factory is very good, even we students who are on vacation are allowed to work to help parents, paid ma'am. We villagers here are very helped by this factory, because many have other jobs besides farming. May the owner of the factory be healthy always, facilitated his fortune and extended his age. Amin''
My eyes were dewy hearing the words of my two sons' friends, they were so kind and mature. It's not wrong my son has friends like them, good children and devoted to parents.
''Why are you here, let's work, son. Sorry mom my kids are bothering mom said Ms. Desi one of the factory workers who turned out to be the parents of Rivaldi.
''It's okay mom, I'm not distracted, they're good kids mom. Which one is Desi's son?''
''This is my son, his name is Rivaldi, this one is my name is Piter, but to me they are my children. They actually went to college in the city, but because of the holidays they came home and helped me in this factory, ma'am Desi said.
''Bi Desi, this is Anggi's mother, the kind person who has allowed us to stay at her house in the city, which I told bi Desi. Anggi's son is our friend in kmpus bu, his person is good as Anggi''' said Piter.
''Thank you mom, thank you for helping my kids in the city. I don't know how to repay mother's kindness said Ms. Desi.
''No need to thank you ma'am, it's our duty to help each other, oh yes you have met Hans yet?'' I asked Rivaldi and Piter.
''Not yet Anggi, is Hans here?'' Ask Rivaldi.
''Yes there must be anyway son, this factory has his mother'' said bu Desi who made Rivaldi and Piter look at each other.
''So Mrs Anggi owns this factory? We are no strangers to the factory name hehehe. Hans where's mom?'' Ask Rivaldi.
I smiled and was about to answer but suddenly someone called Rivaldi and Piter.
''Hay Riv, Hay Piter. You guys how are you?'' Hans.
''We're good, koq you didn't tell me you wanted to come here? You also did not say that this is your mama's factory, we thought your mama was also coming recreation to the factory hehehe'' said Rivaldi.
''I just don't know if mama has a factory, in your village anyway. What are you guys doing here?'' Ask Hans.
''Tell me about work here, help the hehehe parents'' said Piter.
''Mom, may I take my friend around the factory?'' Said Hans while hanging spoiled on my arm. I laughed at his funny behavior. I nodded in agreement and the three of them then passed somewhere while Claudy and bu Dita also went somewhere to walk.
''Ma'am, what was that little boy Hans when I lived here?'' Ask Ms. Desi with teary eyes.
''Mom, that's my son Hans'' said I with teary eyes.
''Oh my goodness, son, you are so big. Mom, can I meet her later? I think I miss him. Long time no see it turns out he's been this big?''
Desi's mother's words made me recall all the struggles I went through with Hans in this village. Ms. Desi was quite close to Hans, as he often came to help me with the cake at home if he was having a lot of cake orders, and he used to play with Hans when we lived in this village.
