Secret of the Heart

Look the Same

A smile bloomed on the face of Dari welcoming our arrival. The same thing happened to Lina as well, when the three of us got out of the car.

"Hey... Ganteng," Tari said to Dio as we faced each other on the porch.

Dio who was greeted kindly by Tari looked down embarrassedly greeted with a small laugh Lina while hugging me then Dio and Miko was still busy in the car.

"The son of Miko and Bimo it turns out, exactly the same as you," said Lina when hugging Dio.

"True Kak, exactly the same," said Tari.

"It's complete your family, hopefully there are no obstacles that threaten any. We all fully support whatever you want."

Mas Tito patted Miko on the shoulder as he got in front of them.

"Where's Mama?"

"It's inside."

"I want to talk to Dio for a while, like a shy child who is just as effective at talking" said Lina.

"Persis Bimo" said Miko.

Bimo rarely talks to people around especially those who are not familiar. Not much different from Miko, only Miko is more humble and smiley. But if you are familiar with the two of them, you must often joke.

But what reminds me more of Bimo is that Dio's skin color looks pale white. When exposed to sunlight it only turns pink and does not turn black.

"Dio dear.. This is all Dio's family." Lina even pointed at them one by one.

"I'm Aunt Lina, this is Aunt Dance with Raffa. That's standing by the door of Tito and Princess."

"Let's have the same page, we'll meet grandma inside" he told Dio.

Dio immediately did still while looking down and smiling.

"Let's dong raise Dio's head, don't be embarrassed," mas Tito amused to see Dio still somewhat afraid of them.

"Look down, there will be Papa," Miko said as she held Dio's head affectionately.

After shaking hands with everyone, Miko invited Dio to meet Mama who was in the room. Miko wanted the three of us to meet and talk to Mama. Lina understood and understood Miko's wishes, so they all waited on the terrace as we entered.

*********

Miko slowly knocked on the door of my room.

"Who?"

There was a loud voice from inside.

"Miko is Kia, Ma."

"Oohs... Just go in first."

I immediately went in and saw Mama again having trouble wearing clothes. Soon I approached and intended to help him.

"It's very difficult.is it possible that Mama is getting fat," muttered Mama still trying to wear clothes.

"Just change Ma, if it's hard to wear it. It does look a bit fat Mama now," I said while helping Mama put on her shirt again.

"You want to go to town? Careful loh. The bride and groom should stay home just waiting for the H day of the event."

"Can't be left with Ma's job. We'll be back here in 3 days."

"It's also hard when it comes to work, Mama can't ban you guys."

"Done Ma? Miko is waiting in front. There's a surprise for Mama."

I helped mama clean the room and pushed the wheelchair out of the room to meet Miko Dio who was waiting.

*********

Mama looks surprised when she sees Dio and looks at Miko curiously. Miko who saw Mama had gone out of the room immediately approached while holding Dio. Mama's eyes were not separated from Dio, until they finally faced each other.

"Dio.. let's say hello to Grandma," said Miko slowly.

Dio approached Mama and nodded his head. Mom still stared at Dio. How shocked I was when I saw Dio's reaction that was different from the usual people doing greetings. The little hand immediately held Mama's cheek gently as if there was already a bond between them.

"Grandmother...how are you?"

It seemed that Dio was still somewhat doubtful and afraid. Mom's eyes watered while looking at Miko.

"Your son? Same who? Miko... What is this?"

Mama stammered while holding back tears, then looked at Dio with a still incredulous look that the small figure standing in front was her grandson.

"Miko will tell you all without missing a single Ma, but Mama's promise don't be sad."

I held Mama's shoulder which was still shocked.

"This is Bimo Ma's adopted son, because Bimo is no longer Miko who replaces Bimo's place."

Long Mama looked at Dio who was still standing in front of her. Slowly, Mama's hand pulled Dio's hand still on her cheek and carried it to her chest while closing her eyes. It was as if Mama wanted to feel the warmth of Bimo's affection from Dio's hands. Still close your eyes even shook your head while crying. Missing Bimo is present again and clearly visible on the face of Mama who is still crying.

"Mama never knew all the good Bimo did. She never said anything to Mama" said Mama.

Mama then hugged Dio, so tightly and for so long as to hug Bimo. I don't feel my tears coming to see this meeting. How not Mama like looking at Dio as Bimo, reminding me also with the figure of Bimo that I once loved.

After being satisfied to let go of the longing for Dio, Mama began to be able to smile and look at Dio affectionately.

"Truly looks like Bimo."

Greeted with a smile on Dio's lips. Without a doubt Dio called Mama with confidence.

"grandmother."

"Bring Dio in front of Beb. I want to talk to Mama," Miko asked.

"Let's go Dio, we'll meet Raffa's sister" I asked.

"Why is the story now?"

Mama looked at Miko with a little annoyance.

"Actually Dio wanted Miko to take it to Mama. But waiting for the right time. Forgive Miko Ma, don't be angry Ma, please" Miko as she holds Mama's hand.

"So he lived in the orphanage you used to be in? Why don't you come with me?"

"Bimo used to have to work Ma, now Miko is like that too. So it's safer for Dio, I put him in the orphanage so that Miko focused on working for Dio's expenses."

"Bimo did it for sure because his two children could not live. Mama still feels guilty when she remembers all the pain Bimo and Kia used to have."

"It's all over, we have to let it go Ma. Miko has replaced Bimo for Kia so Mama can't be sad anymore" Miko said.

"You're both equally evil and selfish. It always surprises my mom. Is there anything else you haven't told Mama?"

"Everything is Ma. There are no secrets anymore."

"Mama is old Miko, if there is still a story that Mama does not know say as soon as the mother dies, then you regret."

"True Ma. There are no more secrets. All Miko told me."

"Don't talk like that Ma, Miko wants to get married when Mama talks about death. Mama should see Miko's son with Kia later. So Miko begs you to stay healthy."

"Yes... Mama's really eager to see your son with Kia. But the age of man is all God's will. Where can we come to arrange, if death has picked up no one can run."

"Miko always prayed for a healthy and long life."

"Amin, so is Miko. Mama doesn't want to lose another child, enough Bimo. If God wants to take Mama, not Mama's son."

"Miko loves Mama."

*********

"Let's eat," dance with everyone.

"I ate at home" I refused.

"I haven't eaten yet" Miko said.

"If the husband has not eaten, the wife must eat too even though it has been" joked Lina.

"All right."

The breakfast table was crowded.

"Wis Tito's wife not coming?" I asked while giving a spoon to Miko.

"Today, two days before the event. My son is still in school" he replied.

"Daughter.. enter what faculty?"

Miko looked at the princess who was taking the rice.

"The Law of Om."

"I want him on Mik's technique, but his son is stubborn. College time with friends, if no friends do not want to go to college. It is very strange today's children," grumbled sister Lina and Princess just silently heard her mother was upset.

"Raffa will be a gamer only," said Raffa as if he knew his turn to be asked and greeted with laughter all.

"What's only... Raffa's still in school." Tari tickle to hear the words of her son.

"Where's Luthfi, from now on invisible?" ask me on Dance.

"Have gone, brother, there is something to take care of. Go too early this morning" replied Tari.

"Dio..what are his goals?"

Mas Tito asked while bribing food.

"Dio wants to be like Papa."

"Justify.the child is never far from Papa."

Miko laughed proudly patting Dio's shoulder sitting next to her. There was a pleasure in my heart seeing the two of them.

"Dio.. would you like to live here with Grandma?"

The mother who had been silent, finally spoke.

"Let's answer... Papa wants to hear Dio talk to Grandma himself."

"Dio wants to stay with Mother of the orphanage only Nek. There are many school friends Dio, later when he finished school, then Dio lived with Papa and Mama."

"Alright, Grandma understood. But you have to play here a lot, because this is also Dio's family."

"Good Grandma."

"Well. Hard-headed like Bimo, can not be resisted," mas Tito smilingly looked at Dio.

True as well, who can fight stubborn Bimo first. Until the end I could never win from him, nor the people around him. I silently looked at Dio's face, the complete blend between Bimo and Miko made Dio more special in my eyes.

"This "little man looks the same as the two people who filled my heart. But he's a complete package combined from the two of them so it's even more special" I said.
