Secret of the Heart

DIO

The clock on the wall of the dining room shows at nine in the morning. I was already preparing to leave for the prospective-in-law's house after finishing breakfast. Bena was still sitting next to me licking the ice cream she was looking at me.

"Morning Bena.. early in the morning have ice cream." I reprimanded while cleaning up the remaining ice cream on her cheek and Bena just smiled sweetly still continuing to eat the rest of the ice cream.

"Because, what food do you like the most?"

"Ice cream.. and what about Mama Kia?"

"Brown."

"Bena also likes chocolate," Bena said quickly.

"Oh yeah?"

Bena just nodded still with the activity of spending ice cream in his hands. I smiled as I gently ruffled Bena's hair.

"Brown! There was Miko in front," Andi's voice idled me who was again relaxed. I quickly got up and met Miko. Don't forget I said goodbye to Bena while kissing her cheek.

"Mama Kia go yes baby... love you Bena........"

Up ahead, Miko saw me talking to Papa and Mama again.

"Go now?" I asked Miko.

"Come on."

After saying goodbye to Papa and Mama, we hurried off.

"Kia... don't forget the Meta order," cried Lala who accompanied me and Miko to the front page.

"Okey.. later when I get to the store I call."

**********

"What is Meta message?" miko asked in the car to Mama's house.

"Headpiece that is used during the event, special he said to me," I replied while installing a safety belt.

"Oh."

But Miko drove the car not towards the house of mama but towards the orphanage.

"Before getting married, there are problems that I have to solve," he said as if answering my confused gaze.

When we got to see Mother spraying plants in front of the foundation office. Mother immediately smiled at us as Miko got out of the car. Mother let us sit in the front seat.

"How's Bun, talked to Dio?" ask Miko.

"Yet, Mommy is confused how Mik. Fear will misunderstand later," replied Mother.

I who joined to hear Miko's conversation with Mommy felt confused. Trying to feel which direction they are talking about while looking at Miko.

"Then Miko will talk to Dio."

"What the hell is it?' my many.

"Dio's problem, I want him to stay with us, when we're married. But I haven't asked him or you, so I brought you here to explain and finish all the Bebs."

"But according to Mother it is better Dio here. In addition to many friends, you newlyweds must be preoccupied with taking care of children. Enjoy it first after the new big Dio is taken."

Mother tried to give Miko understanding because this problem concerns children. Mother does not want Dio to feel forced and have a negative impact on her growth later.

"I want Dio to come with us. What do you think?" Miko told me her wish.

"All right. I'll obey. But it must be with Dio's consent that even though he is still a child, we must respect his opinion. Anyway where he feels comfortable."

*****

Dio looked puzzled as Miko informed him of the intention of our arrival here. Miko informed him a little firmly but hurriedly I embraced Dio and mediated them.

"Papa wants Dio to stay with Papa. That's what Papa wants now, Mama wants to hear Dio. We're not forcing Dio to refuse. Where Dio wants to stay comfortable and make Dio happy, we will agree," I said gently, stroking his hair.

Dio looked at me then Miko and bowed his head. My heart is not good to see him that way. By signaling Miko to persuade Dio to calm down.

"Indeed, Dio did not want to live with Papa and Mama, later after Papa got married?"

"Dio doesn't have any friends there Pa," he looked down.

Miko looked at Dio with a smile, I'm glad Miko wants to understand Dio's will.

"So Dio wants to stay here with Mommy?"

Dio nodded slowly and it seemed that Miko had understood.

"So when does Dio want to stay with Papa? After school?"

Dio still with a nod of his head approvingly.

"okay... Dad wait up."

"Dio.... Mama would love Dio to stay with Papa. But if Dio wants it, we can't force it. But Dio would once want to dong nginap at Papa's house with Mama."

"Yes... Dio Ma's promise."

Miko smiled then clenched her hands towards Dio and greeted Dio with the same thing.

"The promise of men must be kept," he said and Dio replied with a happy smile. I laughed at the interaction between them.

"Where did Bimo find this little star. She was able to make Miko fully mature and look like a real Papa to Dio" I whispered inwardly.

On* flasback*

In the afternoon before dusk, Bimo's car drove home after a day of work toward the employee's mess. At that time Bimo and his soup was busy listening to songs in the car. How shocked Bimo when the driver pressed the sudden brake that almost made Bimo's head hit the dashbord.

"What's wrong?" bimo asked a little annoyed.

"Correct?"

They came down and were surprised to see a 3-year-old child standing on the side of the road crying. With a curious and confused feeling Bimo approached the boy.

"Where's your mom? You lost? Where's your house?"

The barrage of questions made the boy dodge slightly away from Bimo out of fear.

"What's your name?"

"Dio," replied the boy a little slurred.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you home. Just point out where the road is." Bimo tried to persuade the boy.

"Can you sir? He's a kid where talking isn't smooth, do you remember where his house is?" bimo driver who stands next to Bimo.

The boy was still crying as he tried to hold Bimo's hand. I don't know what he meant but Bimo quickly grabbed a small hand and smiled.

"Om will allow you to meet your parents, Om promised. If you do not meet Om will take care of you," promised Bimo at that time.

"We go to the police station first to report, after that we go home," Bimo asked the driver then carried the child and brought to the car.

********

After the police station Bimo took the boy home to the mess where he lived. The boy was already somewhat familiar with Bimo, he looked happy when he bought a lot of small food. Not to forget Bimo also bought some children's clothes and daily necessities.

When Bimo worked, Dio was entrusted with Aunt who often cleaned Bimo's room for a while. Fortunately, everyone and the employees understood. At first it is okay but over time Bimo hassles too.

Bimo who never takes care of the kids and Auntie Dio's place will also move in. Be Bimo confused, already twice he asked the Police station if anyone reported the loss of a child but answered with nothing. The police suggested that Bimo leave for the orphanage to make it easier for Bimo after hearing all Bimo's explanations that he also had to work.

Bimo stared at Dio's face while sleeping. There is a love in the heart when we part. Although he was with Dio for a while but it was all sweet especially he remembered our future son who had been there and could not be saved. The feelings of guilt and affection eventually caused Bimo to think of wanting to really take care of Dio.

But what power he also had to work and the doctor's verdict about the illness suffered must make him undo his good intentions. With a long sigh Bimo called Miko.

"I want to leave someone in the orphanage where you used to be. Tell me how the procedure goes there."

"Huh... You have a child from Kia?"

"Yes a child, but not from Kia."

"Where from?"

"Fem in the street."

"Don't laugh at Bim," Miko was still shocked and thought Bimo was joking.

"True. I'm not lying, seriously this."

"Pity of such a small child in staying," said Miko and she remembered when she left her mother forever when she was a child. His heart joined the training to hear the story of Bimo, however, he had also felt the same way with Dio.

"Alright. tomorrow I go there we both meet Mother. I'd like to see that kid."

"Okey..I'll wait for tomorrow."

Bimo turned off the phone and approached Dio who was sleeping. He looked at Dio's face with a sad feeling.

"I'm sure you won't feel like I've ever lost a father figure. If I don't exist, there will still be another father who will take care of you. I also made sure he would accept you as his son" Bimo said quietly as he lay next to Dio.

Flashback off*

*********

"Come with Papa to Grandma's house. From now on Dio should know that Dio also has a family," Miko and Dio nodded looking happy to look at Miko with sparkling eyes.

"Oh yeah. prepare Dio's clothes, follow Papa with Mama to the city. School holidays and Dio has never been to town either."

I was so happy to see Miko taking Dio with us home.

"Let's take a walk in the city."

"Yes Pa," Dio looks happy to hear Miko's invitation running towards her room.

"Mama doesn't know Dio? Bimo and you never told me?" I was surprised to hear Miko's invitation earlier.

"I'm waiting for the right moment. Afraid that Mama can't accept Dio. But yesterday I spoke with Lina, Mas Tito and Tari they were all very enthusiastic that I could bring Dio home and introduce Mama and them" Miko explained.

"Why do you like to keep something from the closest person anyway? You're with Bimo the same. There's always a secret."

"But I've never had any secrets with you, baby."

I looked at Miko curiously.

"Right... you don't belive it?"

"I believe," I answered in Miko's warm embrace.

"Let's go Pa," the small voice made my smile wider.

"Dio is handsome," I saw Dio standing in front of us in neat clothes.

"Yes dong..who was his father," said Miko who made me and Dio laugh.

"Let's meet Grandma, we make a surprise for her," asked Miko greeted Dio's head nod.

We went to Mama's house after saying goodbye to Mommy. Do not forget to hand over the invitation to Mother and Mother promised to come early later.
