Frisca peeked behind the wall of the living room. Staring at Rivaldo who looked at the photo while talking to two policemen. Frisca immediately panicked, her heart hesitated to want to stay in that place or immediately run away.
Frisca finally waited because leaving now was not possible because there were still two policemen standing in front of the house.
Now I'm gonna find an excuse, but tonight I'm gonna go quietly, can't linger here, Valdo must have found out that I kidnapped Zeno, Frisca screams.
Frisca peeked out again, seeing the two policemen leave and Rivaldo nodded. The man immediately approached Frisca. Rivaldo's gaze looked strange, confused, angry, incredulous, wanting to ask but not knowing where to start. Frisca silently waited for what the man wanted to ask.
"Who is Zefano?" ask Rivaldo.
"The son of my ex-husband" replied Frisca.
"Your ex-husband? You guys fighting for custody? Do you know now your ex-husband accused you of kidnapping Zefano?" ask Rivaldo.
"I know, I'm sure he'll report me to the police" Frisca said.
"When the police showed me your picture I was very surprised. The police said you were Zeno's kidnapper. I'm confused, is it possible that you kidnapped her? Seeing Zeno who is so affectionate and attentive to you even panic when you see you in pain" said Rivaldo who walked back and forth in confusion.
"If she's the kid that Zeno kidnapped should scream and complain to me that she's been kidnapped. That's why I couldn't believe it when the police said you kidnapped her" Rivaldo continued.
Still pacing back and forth in confusion while Frisca just silently stared at him.
"The case for child custody due to divorce is rife so that one parent can kidnap his own child. That's why I didn't admit that I saw you. The police came to this area because they got a complaint that someone saw you around here" explained Rivaldo.
"We're leaving tonight, I don't want to involve you. Sorry for bothering you," said Frisca who went straight into the pavilion room.
In the pavilion Frisca lowered her head while covering her face with both hands. The woman cried sobbing, there was a sense of tightness in her chest. His heart was happy with that little family. Too happy to forget who he is. A moment dissolved in togetherness that made his heart flowery but now must accept the reality and must leave the house immediately.
Frisca was still crying as she pleased when Rivaldo came in and immediately hugged her. The woman dodged but Rivaldo kept holding her tightly.
"Take me off, I'm not who you thought I was. I'm a liar, I'm a bad woman. Don't expect me, tonight we're leaving, tonight I have to go. Thank you for all your help and kindness. I will remember this momentary meeting. Say hello to Keisya, I will not say goodbye to him. Because tonight we will go straight away," said Frisca softly as she closed her eyes.
Yes, our meeting is only momentary but it is so beautiful, I will keep it in my heart. Until the end of my death, which was only a moment away, Frisca's heart cried.
Frisca cried in Rivaldo's arms, her free hand now moving up on the man's back. Frisca hugged Rivaldo tightly.
"No! Nah! You're not going anywhere, I'm not going to let you go. The police have left no one will be looking for you here anymore" Rivaldo said.
Rivaldo hugged the crying woman while stroking her hair.
"I have to go. You could be accused of hiding criminals. I can't hide here forever. I'm telling you, I'm a bad woman. Damaged, immoral, undignified woman, you will be disappointed to know who I really am. My past is so bad, I don't deserve you" Frisca said.
Rivaldo stretched out his arms and cupped the face of the tear-soaked woman.
"I don't care about your past. I'm not a good person myself. I'm also a broken man. All sorts of evil I've done, all the sins I've tried. I was kicked out by my own parents. Drop out of college, take drugs, get drunk, gamble, be a street kid. I.., I'm really a useless person," Rivaldo told me.
Frisca stared in disbelief at Rivaldo's story, Frisca's eyes looking straight into the man's eyes looking for the truth in his words.
"No way, I don't believe it. You're a good man. I can't believe you ever had a dark past. I can't believe it!" frisca.
"Why? Why not believe it? My past is not only dark but very dark and gloomy" Rivaldo said as he lifted Frisca's chin.
"You're not at all like a bad person" Frisca said.
"That's because I've left my dark past behind. I could completely abandon my past because I was given a chance. Now I also want to give you the chance to become a better woman. Because I know, there's something good in your heart. Trust me give me a chance to show you the goodness that is in your heart that you yourself are not aware that goodness exists" Rivaldo said with a smile.
The man lifted Frisca's chin and buried his lips on the woman's lips. At first Frisca refused but finally resigned when Rivaldo hugged her tightly. Seeing the resigned Frisca made Rivaldo even more want to immerse his lips on the lips of the beautiful woman.
Rivaldo laid Frisca down on the small bed in the room. Gently sip the lips of the beautiful woman and play her tongue in Frisca's oral cavity. The woman closed her eyes enjoying Rivaldo's warm but gentle kiss.
"I haven't touched a woman for a long time, I'm sorry for being so presumptuous of you" whispered Rivaldo after letting go of his kiss.
Frisca shook her head with a smile. Rivaldo hugged Frisca. The woman returned Rivaldo's embrace. The man leaned against the head of the bed while continuing to hug Frisca in his chest.
"Who gave you a chance?" frisca whispered in Rivaldo's words.
"What?"
"You said you could leave behind a dark past because you were given a chance. Who gave you that chance?" ask Frisca.
Rivaldo smiled.
"You really want to know the story?" ask Rivaldo.
Frisca nodded with a smile.
"I got that chance from a girl named Raisya. He was my junior brother when I was in college. I didn't know him but he knew me..,"
"That means he keeps his love for you" Frisca said.
"Yes, I think so," replied Rivaldo with a chuckle.
"Then?"
"We met, got acquainted and eventually liked each other. He asked me to go back to college but it was too late because I couldn't catch up. I was dropped out but he stayed faithful to accompany me because he said I had intended and tried for his sake. Although it didn't work out he didn't care, he stayed loyal to me even though I was just a street kid" Rivaldo said, staring at Frisca leaning against his chest.
The man wanted to see Frisca's reaction to being told about a woman he loved.
"Why stop?" ask Frisca.
"You seriously want to know the story about him?" ask Rivaldo.
Frisca nodded.
"I wonder what kind of woman can turn a broken man like you into a very good man" Frisca replied.
Rivaldo finally returns to his story.
"Raisya asked me to leave the group of street children but I was not willing until one day, when we both walked a member of my group wanted Raisya. Of course I don't want to give it up. Raisya is mine, I don't want her to serve them. I persevered not to give up Raisya until I was finally hacked. I asked Raisya to run away, I was willing for her to go for her safety but she stayed where she was. She wouldn't leave me even if she cried in fear. Therefore I was determined to protect her even though I had to sacrifice everything including my life. Eventually, people came to help me. I survived and Raisya stayed by my side. From then on I left the group and lived alone. Not knowing what to do to finance my life, Raisya secretly spent little by little his savings to finance my life until his family found out. Raisya was asked to cut ties with me but the girl refused and she ended up running away with me. We eloped, with a little bit of his savings he started opening a small shop for our living expenses" Rivaldo explained.
"He has no regrets because he has got what he wants - a happy life with you" Frisca said slowly.
Rivaldo smiled as he dyed the top of Frisca's hair.
"Yes, that's what he said at the time. As soon as he started college he started saving. His intention is to take a higher level of education to be a lecturer. His ideals must be extinct because the savings money was actually used up for our living expenses. When I found out that I felt very sorry but he actually said that all that was lost was just an ideal but he got better than that which was me and the baby in the womb. That was when she told me she had Keisya in her womb" Rivaldo said, looking back at Frisca leaning against her chest.
Rivaldo did not want the woman in his arms to feel jealous of his story. But the man was relieved to see Frisca smiling. Frisca heard Rivaldo's story while imagining it.
"You're a romantic couple, love is the most important thing in your life" Frisca said.
"Hmm, anything can be done for the sake of a loved one and the sacrifice will not feel heavy at all" Rivaldo said.
But I can't compare to the holy Raisya, you sacrificing your life to protect her is a worthy thing. Contrary to me, Frisca whispered her heart and closed her eyes making her tears now flow.
There was a knock on the door and Rivaldo let him in. Frisca immediately stretched out her embrace but Rivaldo held her back. The two young children immediately entered and were surprised to see the two people hugging on the bed.
"Here dear," said Rivaldo, stretching out his hand to his daughter.
The girl immediately came and embraced at the other side of Rivaldo.
Zefano shook his head.
"Why?" ask Rivaldo.
Valdo wants to be fair, he thinks that Zeno is my son, Frisca said.
"No, add one more later the bed can be broken" said Zefano.
"Well, where did Zeno know?" ask Rivaldo.
"Know dong because Zeno is a genius, all of them are less intelligent than Zeno," said the boy while pointing at the three people in front of him.
"Uh, you arrogant son, let's punish him in a crowd. Let's chase!" rivaldo said to Keisya who laughed at his father's words.
Rivaldo and Keisya chased after Zefano while Frisca smilingly looked at those who were running all the way to the living room. When Rivaldo managed to catch Zefano the boy was immediately tickled on the carpet in the living room. The sight made Frisca shed tears.
In the evening they had dinner together cheerfully. Frisca made that night a meaningful night for them. Wash the dishes together with the kind-hearted man and put Keisya to bed together.
As usual Keisya kissed both cheeks of his father then kissed both cheeks of Frisca. The boy hugged Frisca long enough, leaving Frisca stunned. The woman returned the child's embrace until it felt warm and laid him down. Keisya closed his eyes and Frisca covered him and kissed him on the cheek. Keisya's hand lifted and stroked Frisca's cheek, still with his eyes closed.
"It turns out he hasn't slept yet" said Rivaldo smiling, Keisya smiled as he closed his eyes.
"Sleep, baby" said Frisca.
The boy hugged his doll and went back to sleep.
"Now it's our turn to put Zeno to sleep" whispered Rivaldo.
"Let me, we'll sleep together. Rest Valdo," said Frisca, then kissed Rivaldo's cheek.
Frisca wanted to pass into the pavilion room but Rivaldo grabbed Frisca's hand and stopped her steps. Frisca turned to look at Rivaldo who was looking at her with a sad look. Rivaldo walked over and cupped Frisca's face. The man kissed the woman's lips.
Your kiss is so warm Valdo, gently soothing. Different from other men's kisses. I want you but I can't because you have to get a better woman than me Frisca whispered.
"Good sleep, baby!" rivaldo whispered shortly after releasing his kiss.
Frisca smiled then walked into the pavilion room. There Zefano waited on the bed.
"Zeno hasn't slept yet, son?" ask Frisca.
"Not Aunty, yet" replied Zefano.
"Zeno miss Mama and Papa?" ask Frisca.
Zefano.
"Tonight Aunt will take you to them. Forgive Aunt who has separated you for so long" Frisca said.
"It's only two days Aunty" said Zefano.
I separated you for years with your father, Zeno, the inner Frisca.
"A day here it feels like you've been living for so long huh Zeno?" ask Frisca.
"Yes Aunty because here is exciting, Om Valdo and Keisya are good people" said Zefano.
"Tante is also a good person" Zefano continued.
For you all people are good that you don't remember my crimes, I'm afraid I'm going to sell you, make you cry all night but you're so easy to forget the crimes of people to you, you're Zeno's good son, whispered Frisca's heart while hugging Zefano.
"Sleep well tonight I'll wake you up to get out of here" Frisca said.
"We're going in secret?" ask Zefano.
"Yes,"
"Why?"
"Because I can't break up with them. I'm afraid saying goodbye will make me heavy to leave this place. It will take you longer to part with your parents. I can't do that anymore, I have to give you back because you still have to get treatment" Frisca said.
Zefano nodded and began to close his eyes while hugging Frisca. That night Frisca did not sleep, the woman waited for the right moment to get ready and leave.
Frisca replaced her negligee with her own clothes that had been washed this morning and wrapped up Zefano's clothes. Frisca looked at Zefano who was still sound asleep. Unable to wake her up, the woman held Zefano and crept out of the house.
After walking some distance the woman ran up to make Zefano wake up. The boy stared at Rivaldo's house which was getting further and further abandoned.
"We've gone Auntie?" ask Zefano slowly.
"Yes, we're going to wait for the bus there" said Frisca, who was not sure if a bus would pass later that night.
Zefano stared at Rivaldo's house, which was getting further away, but suddenly Frisca stopped and sat down.
"Why Auntie?" asked Zefano who stood alone.
Frisca raised her hand stroking Zefano's cheek. Her tears flowed, her hands holding her stomach.
"Zeno, if there were.., people.., passers-by.., say.., if Zeno.., the child., who.., was kidnapped., they.., would.., escort Zeno.., pu..,"
"Tanteeee.., Aunt Frisca!" zefano screams immediately crying to see Frisca lying on the road.
Zefano immediately ran back to Rivaldo's house. While crying the child re-entered through the pavilion door. Banging on Rivaldo's bedroom door was immediately shocked to see Zefano crying.
"Tante Frisca has a stomachache now fainted" Zefano said in tears.
"WHAT?"
Rivaldo went straight to the pavilion room and was astonished not to see Frisca on the bed.
"It's not there, Om, on the road!" zefano said as he pointed outwards.
Rivaldo shouted in surprise and immediately ran into the street. Rivaldo was forced to hold Zefano in order to run faster.
"There!" point Zefano.
On the paved road, illuminated by street lights visible body figure lying. Rivaldo accelerated his pace. Until soon in front of Frisca who had been silent closed his eyes. Rivaldo shook his head and immediately hugged the cold body on the street.
Rivaldo felt Frisca's breath on his neck, immediately the man lifted Frisca's body and returned to his home. The man immediately called an ambulance to be taken to an area hospital.
Rivaldo sat the two children in front of the ambulance while he accompanied the medics to sit in the back. Once in the hospital, medics took care of Frisca.
Doctors and nurses directly check the four main vital signs, blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and body temperature. Rivaldo resigned when asked to wait on the visitor bench.
While Frisca was examined, Rivaldo sat leaning against the ceiling of the hospital. The two children leaned against his chest, to his right and left.
The sight that made Sister Nofi jumped when a friend sent a photo of the three people through a private message on her mobile phone.
