Anita and Mr. Sugara are still chatting in Rima's mother's living room. The two children and the father were still stiff to let go of each other's longings that had not met for years.
"How's dad's health?" tanya Anita opened a conversation with her father.
"Father is better, thanks to the father's wife" said Mr. Sugara looking at Rika's mother.
Anita looked towards Rika's mother and smiled slightly. He looked back at his father, at the knees of Mr. Sugara.
"Is this dad sick?" ask Anita.
"No, dad's fine. Yesterday in therapy and it was better. I was able to walk a little, it was only in a wheelchair" said Mr. Sugara.
He looked at his son, the longing that had been pent up since a long time ago now slowly decayed. He held Anita's hand and stroked her.
"Anita, I'm sorry. I never saw you at that time." said Mr. Sugara softly.
"It's okay, dad. I understand you can't see me, because you're banned by mom, right?" ask Anita.
Mr. Sugara fell silent, he again rubbed his almost wet eyes. Then looking at Anita with haru, Anita smiled.
"Don't you hate me?" ask Mr. Sugara.
"No dad, I'm sincere all the bitter past came to me. I know you really want to see me too, but because of the promise to mom and dad to obey the will of mom" Anita said again.
Mr. Sugara sighed in relief, as honestly as he was eager to meet his only child, at the funeral of his wife's mother Yuni also he wanted to approach Anita. But he did not dare, what would happen if at that time he came to his son and would be rejected raw even in court at that time.
Prejudice by prejudice he thought of that time. Anita is different from her first wife. It turns out that Anita is wiser to respond to all her past with her wife.
"Didn't you hate your mother after you learned the story?" ask Mr. Sugara again.
"No dad, I don't hate mom and dad. You are the most valuable people in my life. I am tired of having to obey my heart to hate my mother or my father. I just want to live a quiet life and make peace with my past and the past of my father and mother. Later my husband and I will not do as my father and mother did. It hurts me a lot, but I also accept what I'm going through. I was disappointed and divorced by my ex-husband. I don't want that to happen to my son, I don't want my son to experience what I'm going through. Hik hik hik." Anita stopped for a moment.
Mr. Sugara held his son's hand, it was a lie if Anita did not feel the pain is extraordinary, but in the end he chose to accept with chest roomy and get rid of his ego. Enough of his heartache, he wanted to live in peace without any shadow of his bitter past.
"My son, forgive me. I couldn't stand you for a long time. Can't help you get married a second time and can't say anything about your happiness. Hik hik hik." said Mr. Sugara paused.
Anita and Mr. Sugara revealed each other's hearts since long ago. They told me about the bitterness of not being able to be with someone very dear.
Rima's mother and Rika's mother also cried, the meeting of the child and father was really draining emotions and tears.
Up to one phone rang from Anita's phone. He grabbed his phone from the bag and saw who was calling.
"Hello, bi. What's up?" anita asked while wiping her tears.
"Sorry madam, are you still a long time at Rima's mother's house?" ask Anita's maid on the phone.
"Why? Are the kids asking me?" ask Anita.
"Yes madam, and again there are women who come to the house to meet the mistress" he said again.
"What was that woman?" ask Anita.
"Not the madam, the woman was young and seemed to be from the city. She's a beautiful mistress." replied the maid again.
Anita was silent, she frowned, who is it?
"Tell him, tell him to come back tomorrow. I haven't been able to get home soon" Anita said.
"Good mistress."
The phone connection was cut off, Anita put her phone back in the bag. He then turned to Kevin who was now sleeping on his lap.
"Is this your son?" ask Mr. Sugara.
"Yes father, my fourth child. There were five children, one son my husband had with his ex-wife" Anita replied.
Mr. Sugara smiled, so he had five grandchildren. He was happy, then his hand stroked Kevin's hair slowly.
"Dad is so happy, dad misses the sound of children laughing and crying. I used to be very happy if you laughed while running. It feels tired that you feel when you come home from Kalimantan is gone. But I was sad when your mother took you away and left behind only a piece of paper" Sugara said softly.
The look on his face was sad again, there were many memories that he did not feel with his only child.
"I'll stop by my dad's house often with my kids. Then I will meet my husband. He's so nice, dad." said Anita.
"Good, I hope you get a good man who always looks after and makes you happy. I pray that you are always happy, son." said Mr. Sugara sincerely.
"Mother."
Now it's lunch time, Rima's mother and Rika's mother have prepared food at the dinner table, Rika's mother approached her husband and child.
"Mas, let's eat first. Anita, let's get your kids to eat too" Rika's mother said.
"Oh yes son. Perhaps your master has told you that he is the wife of the father now. But I need to introduce you to mommy, too. Rika, she's my son and Anita is your mother. It's up to you to call him what, but respect the father's wife who has been taking care of him during his illness" said Mr. Sugara introduced the two.
"Yes dad, don't worry. I keep calling her mom" Anita said.
"Thank you, son." said Rika's mother with a big smile.
rika's mother holds the child's hand, she is happy because Anita does not mind her marriage to her father because of the request of her best friend Yuni's mother.
"Whose name is grandfather's grandson?" ask Sugara sir for his grandson.
Kevin looked at the same Anita looking at his son, Anita smiled and nodded her head.
"Kevin answered dong when asked by grandfather" Anita said to her son.
Kevin looked at his grandfather confused, yet he replied as well.
"Kevin, grandfather." replied Kevin timidly.
Mr. Sugara smiled, he hugged Kevin tightly.
The question and answer still continues between grandfather and grandson. At first Kevin was still shy, but he is now more courageous to hold the face of Mr. Sugara who has a thick beard and a little mustache. The character of an old grandfather.
"Dad, why don't you shave my beard and moustache?" anita asked after they ate and sat down again.
"Your father won't, Anita. He said he was more characteristic of an old grandfather, like he said." said Rika's mother.
Anita smiled and looked at her father. He even saw Mr. Sugara more authoritative with his white beard.
"Yes, it's more authoritative with a thick beard and it's white" said Anita.
"Father is actually handsome, but deliberately the beard is extended so that no one else has a crush on father" said Mr. Sugara.
Anita sneered, she shook her head with her father's narcissistic sentences.
I don't think time goes fast. Anita and Mr. Sugara had to separate again because Anita also had to go home and Mr. Sugara also had late afternoon therapy again.
"I'll see you later with my husband and kids, yeah. Give me the address of the father where he lives" Anita told Sugara.
"Dad just send by message on your phone yes, just write it on your father's phone number" said Mr. Sugara handed the old phone, but it still works well.
Anita took her father's phone and typed in his phone number, then dialed into his number.
"I've saved my number in my father's ponsep, and also my father's number has also been saved" said Anita.
"Thank you, son. I'm sorry I couldn't see you for long, because I had to go to therapy" Sugara said sadly.
He still wanted to chat with his son, but it turned out that his therapy schedule was in progress.
"Neverything well, I've also been happy to meet dad. Later I come to my father's house, see you all get acquainted with my other children and my husband" said Anita.
"Emm, what about your husband, son?" ask Mr. Sugara doubtfully.
She was afraid that her son's husband would not take it well.
"Arga is a good father, he has certainly received a father kok later. I told him." said Anita to calm her father down.
"Ah, I'm just afraid your husband hates you" said Mr. Sugara.
"No, he's up to me and always supports what I do."
And now that they finally separated, Anita deliberately waited for her father to leave first before she waited for the ojek to pass.
"Bude, thank you for meeting me with my father" Anita told Rima's mother.
"Yes, Anita. Bude is also happy, Bude who asked for his meeting at the bude house with your father. Bude is afraid later if you are angry and reject your father, you go and do not know the way home because of the state of anger with your father" said Rima's mother gave an excuse.
"This dude, I told you I'd gladly accept you. Even though the mistake of the father can not be forgiven by the mother until he died. Enough mothers who hate fathers for their mistakes remarry without mother's knowledge. Dad's been punished by his own guilt, which is important that I don't repeat it again with aunt Rika" Anita said wisely.
"You don't want to call her mom?"
"No, I just called her mom kok bude."
Rima's mother smiled, of course she knew that she had eaten with Anita and called her mother. But maybe because she was confused what to call if there is no mother Rika, because if you call mother definitely to mother Yuni.
"Bude, I'm going home first. Once again I expressed my gratitude at the bude house to meet with my father" Anita said again.
"Yes, bude is happy too."
"I'm home with Bude."
"Yes, be careful on the road."
Anita was riding the ojek that had passed in front of Rima's mother's house. Anita waved her hand, Rima's mother replied to her.
The motorcycle drove away from Rima's mother's house. Rima's mother smiled happily, with the meeting between the child and the father being a moving thing for everyone. Both Anita, Mr. Sugara, Rika's mother and Rima's mother.
