"Anggara's wood, then,?" replied Mother in shock.
"Yes, my name is Bayu Anggara. Something weird about my name,?" tanya Bayu sambi threw her smile.
"Oh it's okay, son. What a good name. If my name is Retno. More complete Retno maringin," replied the mother.
"Good name, ma'am" said Bayu.
"Yes Nak. That's what my parents love me too."
"This mother is going to Semarang too,?" ask Bayu.
"Yes Nak, the mother of Surabaya looks at the son of a friend of Mother who has given birth."
"Oh happy if you hear the news of people giving birth. I also have a friend who has just given birth, but I have not had time to look for me behind Semarang," said Bayu menimpali.
"Same mother Her father was a close friend long ago, even like his own brother. When his wife gave birth to his twins, he was waiting at the hospital. Until the bad thing happens, if you remember it feels very scared," said Retno's mother while her face was sad.
"Already Mom, if you do not want to mengingan story do not need to be told," Bayu said.
"It's okay, son, it's just what makes Mom sad when the twins are separated."
"What do you mean, Mom. How can you be separated.?"
"Yes, my boy, the story is long. Sometimes I feel like the twins are like my own children" he said slowly.
FLASHBACKS
(25 years ago)
"*Retno, please help me, will you,?" said a man.
"What Man, what can I help you with" replied the woman named Retno from the end of the phone.
"Please take care of my wife who is giving birth in Medika hospital. I still need to be the same Mr. Soleh."
"Okay, I'll be in the hospital right away."
"Thank you Ret*."
The conversation ended and Arman hung up again. Then he left his wife who had just given birth to his twins.
About fifteen minutes later, Retno also came to wait for Mr. Arman's wife. The woman who had just given birth to the beautiful twins was still not awake.
Retno goes into the treatment room where Arman's wife has just given birth. He sat down on the chair next to the bed. Shortly afterwards the woman opened her eyes.
"Mbak Retno, how come you're here? Where's Arman, then,?" tanyanya panic.
"Ssttt.already Hen, you don't move much. Your husband again met Mr. Soleh," replied Retno.
"Pak Soleh? What is it Mas Arman met him, Ma'am. He is famous for being cruel. Does Mas Arman owe him.?"
"I don't really understand either, Hen. He told me to take care of you."
"I'm worried that Mas Arman is dealing with him."
"Hen, you don't worry, yeah. I am ready to help you if needed" replied the woman named Retno.
"Yes, thanks. Why am I afraid, know for yourself Mas Arman's efforts are now quiet again. Orderan is also declining. Moreover, plus the cost of giving birth at this time," explained Heny while crying.
"Hen, don't think about it. You just take a break."
"Where is my son, Ma'am?"
"Maybe it's still in the baby's nursery."
"My daughter, Ma'am. Beautiful said sister."
"Rub, Retno.. Wake up, I have something to talk about,!" exclaiming Arman while patting Retno's shoulder.
"Eh you, Man. It's been since.?"
"Barusan, really. Aaaah.get tired of me, Ret. Dizziness my head," replied Arman with a long sigh.
"Why are you, any problem.?"
"Ret, can you help me, can't you,?" ask Arman.
"As long as I can and can I help" he replied.
"Ret, my wife doesn't know she's giving birth to twins yet."
"What's? So your son was born a twin,?" retno replied surprised.
"Yes, because after the doctor about the cost of my son's birth surgery, I was confused because I got that kind of money out of nowhere. I haven't spoken to my wife, I called you right away" replied Arman.
"Where did you come from.?"
"I am from Mr. Soleh's house, he is a wealthy tempe businessman in his residence. But he has no children. I was there trying to borrow money for hospital expenses. And I also know the risk of dealing with that guy.
He was cruel because he was famous for lending money with big interest. After we spoke, he was finally willing to lend me money but on the condition that one of my twins was treated lawfully. In other words I have to give one of my children to him, then my debt is considered paid off" Arman explained at length.
"What, Man! Have you thought about the consequences,?" reply Retno.
"I'm scared, I'm confused. And desperate. I had to accept Mr. Soleh's offer. Please help me, Ret." said Arman with a pleading face.
Retno could not say anything. However, he could not help materially, he would not want to help him.
"All right, I'm gonna keep all this a secret. You are patient, Man" said Retno.
FLASHBACK OFF
Bayu just fell silent, he was fervent with the story of Mother Retno. After that, Ms. Retno cried because she also had a hand because she kept all of this a secret. But at that time he had no other choice.
"The patient Bu Retno. Maybe it's the way it is. Until now the mother of twins did not know that in fact she gave birth to twins,?" ask Bayu.
"No Son. Until now he doesn't know."
"The action is actually outrageous because it has separated the mother and her child. But, the circumstances that caused the Father to make such a decision, so what else," replied Bayu.
"Yes Nak. Sometimes if you remember your heart it feels very sorry for covering up the incident."
Bayu and Bu Retno looked familiar and now they were exhausted and both fell asleep. While in the train itself the condition is quiet and rarely passengers.
.
.
.
When the train stopped at one of the stations in Semarang, Bayu opened his eyes he had not found Miss Retno. Maybe he got off at the station earlier.
Then he slept for a long time. Indeed last night he slept once a night because of Aulia's thoughts. Bayu glanced at his watch which already showed at half an hour in the afternoon, meaning another hour he reached the station where he got off.
He began to take his bags and put them in his place so that later when he arrived, he was easy to carry. When he looked down to pick up his dropped item under the seat, he saw an identity card lying on the floor of the train.
Then Bayu took it and when he read the name of the owner, it turns out that the card was marked with the name Retno maringin. This means I have a mother who met Bayu.
"Don't this belong to the mother who was sitting here,?" bayu lirih.
