"hemm... morning om?" a man answered a phone call,
he got up from his sleeping position and sat down.
"Home home, your father is sick." his voice was heard deep.
" It's not that I don't want to om, a lot of activities in the office this month" replied the 33-year-old man reluctantly.
" I don't know until when your father survives, so go home..
your father also wants to say something" his voice is so serious.
" all right, but I can't take long off.."
" long or not that important you go home" replied the om and then turn off the phone connection.
The man was silent for a long time, his heart restless..
he actually wanted to often visit his father, but because of a big storm 10 years ago his relationship with his father became cold.
His father was an extraordinary figure for him, he raised one son well even without the figure of a woman beside him.
The classroom was boisterous, it was because the school hours were only a few minutes away.
" For tomorrow's assignment, I want you to form a study group, each group of 5 children..
learn chapter 5 yes, tomorrow there will be a question and answer.."
" yes buuuuuuu....!" answer the child in unison.
" yes, tomorrow we meet again.please pray." the mother took some books and walked out of class.
He walked a little hurriedly towards the office.
" too much hunting?" a man in batik asked,
" yes, my father is sick" replied the teacher.
" where is your bike?"
" my tires leaked this morning, so I got on a bump"
" yes wes, let me take you up quickly"
" didn't you still have an extracurricular dim clock?" the teacher was afraid to trouble his teaching friend who was also his best friend since college.
" yes there, the child breaks first 30 minutes, your house is not so far away riding the motorbike for only 10 minutes, let's go up!" resolute dimas.
Dimas drove him home, but saw the terrace of the house crowded with cars and motorcycles both looked on.
" How many ran?" ask dimas, please,
" i don't know either." replied Rania with a fretful look.
" let's go in, and I'll see your father for a moment. "get dimas off the bike and get inside.
Arriving in the house of Rania's heart that was was calm, because he saw his father was still asleep fine.
He did not know why the family of the father were all gathered in the back hall, they seemed to be talking seriously.
" I'll take a drink for a while dim, then go back to school." said Rania told dimas to sit for a while after seeing her father.
Rania walked towards the kitchen, she made a glass of tea to brew.
For fear of being late, Rania hurriedly brought the tea out of the kitchen, but when she got to the kitchen door she accidentally collided with someone until the tea was spilled.
" Oh?!" rania's voice was spontaneous after the tea was spilled onto her shirt and the clothes of the person she hit.
"sorry??!" rania immediately apologized while looking up to see who was hit by her.
His face stiffened instantly, he immediately lowered his gaze and retreated.
" I'm sorry mas. "rania's voice was slow, she was afraid of the sight of the person standing before her.
" sloppy.." said the man at a glance and then turned away.
"God.." lamented Rania softly as she stroked his chest, the man was the person he was afraid of, either scared or disinclined.
And his sudden appearance shocked rania.
She is Rania's half-sister, a person who is always forced to go home but does not want to go home.
Of course it was because he hated half to die with this Rania who was not his biological sister, thought Rania.
Well right, I'm not Rania's real father..
Mother and Father married when Rania was 14 years old, in fact the Father married Mother not because of love..
more precisely the patient and wise Father pitied Rania and her Mother.
Rania Buru made a new tea and immediately gave it to Dimas.
" drink Dim." he said as he put a glass of tea on the table.
" you know, why are your clothes all wet?" Dimas wonder,
" yes, spilled. unintentionally, hunting drink later late.."
hearing that Dimas hurriedly drank his tea.
"yes, I'm back to school first. I hope you are healthy soon huh..?" dimas got up from his seat
" yes, thank you, Dim.."
" yeah wes, I'm back.." Dimas walked out, got on his bike and passed away.
Rania immediately went into her room, she took a bath because the tea water felt sticky on her skin.
" Sir.. ?" call mbak Yuni who is in charge of taking care of the house from behind the door of Rania's room.
" what is mbak?" rania answered, opening the door.
" mba is called Father.Everyone is waiting for mbak.."
" is it not that you are still sleeping?"
" he's awake already.."
Rania sat next to her Father, while Surya and Aunt Irma, my sister, sat not far from him.
" Where is Aksa?" asked his Father slowly, hearing that Surya walked out and called Aksara, before long Aksara entered and sat near his Father as well.
" Nduk.." call his Father.
" no sir." replied Rania lirih,
" Your mother finally came home.. Mr. Seneng "he continued his father grabbed the hand of his son who was sitting right in front of him.
The script was bowed in, a little bit he felt guilty for leaving his Father all this time just because of his selfishness.
" I had a conversation with Mas mu. , Mas mu want to grant the wishes of the Father..
now you stay nduk.. You want to grant the wishes of the Father?" ask his father,
" What do you want, sir?? You have taken good care of me after my mother is not there, there is no way I do not care the same Father." replied Rania with glassy eyes.
" Ner nduk manut?" asked his father who was getting tired of talking, his old face looks very pale.
" no sir. kulo manut.(yes sir. I according to.)" answered Rania nodded.
" Married yes nduk. "the voice of his Father is slow, the voice of his father,
" dalem sir?" rania asked less clearly, she was afraid of hearing wrong
" marry.., be with you." The voice of his Father was made clear.
The mood arrived silent,
Rania could not answer, she spontaneously looked at the figure of Aksara sitting not far from him the man did not say what, he said nothing,
but he continued to bow, his facial expression was really not visible.
" married sir?? same... who is it, sir..??" rania asked a little stuttering in shock.
He hopes to hear the wrong words of his Father, or his Father misspoke because here the only "Mas" is Aksara.
I have often told Rania to get married because Rania is 25 years old, but Rania always reasoned to want to take care of you and has not found the right man.
well, that's just an excuse, yeah,
because the real Rania has no desire to get married at all,
he had a deep trauma because of his father's attitude when he was a child.
He saw his mother often beaten up, until finally he and his mother were left alone because his father preferred to live with other women.
" Married to your mother.. Aksara.." His father's voice was so clear this time.
Spontaneous Rania limp,
his body suddenly arrived powerless and cold sweat began to appear on both palms.
Rania looked at Om and Tante who had been silent since then, they looked at Rania together, and they looked at Rania,
om Surya nodded and aunt Irma smiled.
"Oh.. What is this..?" he lamented in his heart, Om and Tantenya's expression even made him not feel good.
" But sir, I and Aksa are brothers." replied Rania ventured.
"You have no blood relation. and in our religion it is permissible." replied Surya in a confident voice.
" But sir.. What's wrong with Aksara??" rania asked in a soft voice, hearing that the script was staring at her and it made Rania tremble even more, so,
Rania spontaneously lowered her head.
" Aksara has promised to take care of you and be a good husband.believe the same Father yes nduk.. ",A,
hearing her father's words Rania really can't say anything, either,
his mouth was tightly clenched, he took pains to hold back his tears.
" nduk.. Aksara will not hurt you.he has promised.Take this,
Your father only wishes you to marry and look after each other." Aunt Irma held the back of Rania's hand gently to calm her down because Surya and Irma could clearly see the fear that Rania was feeling right now.
" Don't be afraid, I promised you I'd take care of you" suddenly came the sound of a flat but firm Aksara.
" The father still exists.the father wants to see you married yes nduk.."
His father grabbed the hands of Rania and Aksara and put them together.
Aksara's face suddenly met red, red,
but he immediately threw away his face to hide it.
Unlike the increasingly pale Rania, the,
Rania did not dare to move her hand at all.
" promise me that you will not hurt each other and will take care of each other..
any anger do not leave each other." said the father made both bowed in.
"How is this. how is.." Rania continued to complain inwardly, otherwise because of her Father she might have run out and cried by now.
It doesn't feel possible..
this man before her was always even cynical of her,
Although initially the character of attention once and his warm attitude made Rania comfortable, but without cause his attitude turned cold and fierce.
Then now how come there will be a marriage between them.
" There is no other man in the world until I have to marry my stepbrother.
If only he could refuse and leave,
then he will do, then,
but Mr... what would happen if Rania did that? his father will be disappointed and increasingly ill..
again Rania could only close her eyes to hold back the unacceptable in her heart.
