Stain (Mirror Cracked)

Haven't come home yet

After Jihan came out of her mother's ward, Ms. Dwi was immediately angry with her husband.

“Dad, why repel Jihan. Jihan is hami Yah..” said Ms. Dwi in an angry tone.

“Let's be a lesson to the kid don't be the same as us. He never valued us as his parents. His actions have embarrassed us, Mom. This is because often Mother pamper so she can be like this,” replied Mr. Herman.

“Well, don't ever talk about what's gone by. Now how to find the best solution in this problem. I was just angry without thinking about the consequences. Now Jihan has gone somewhere.”

“Mother don't worry because Jihan must be coming home. Where might she run away from home while she is pregnant.”

“Thankful that he came home, if he stopped because of what Dad said?”

“He wants to go where Mom is.... Mother's worries are too much.”

“As a mother must be worried if her child leaves home especially with the condition of Jihan like that.”

“It was all due to his mistake so he could hami Bu. So I don't defend the wrong.”

“But Jihan is pregnant not of her will. Jihan was pregnant because of her friend's rape.”.

Mr. Herman who heard his wife's explanation was immediately shocked. His eyes immediately opened perfectly as if he did not believe the words of his wife.

“I mean Mom, Jiahn has been raped..”.

“Iya Well, that's why Dad don't just be angry. Angry will not solve the problem, but will add to the problem.”

Mr. Herman who was still very surprised just kept quiet. He felt regret for having kicked out his only daughter just because of a misunderstanding.

After Mr. Herman calmed down, he then contacted Jihan to ascertain whether Jihan was home or not. But Herman had contacted Jihan several times, Jihan's phone was not active to make Mr. Herman feel confused

After being informed that Jihan is not at home, Ms. Dwi and Mr. Herman are not calm in the hospital.

“Mother wants to go home today just Yah,” said bu Dwi.

“But I haven't healed properly.”

“Mother has gone well. I didn't calm down before Jihan came home.”

“Patient mom yes. Dad also tried to look for her.”

“This is all Dad's fault. Dad has kicked Jihan out so Jihan left home,” said Ms. Dwi was angry.

“The name is also already emotional Bu.”

“Eatya Dad a lot of istighfar so as not to get angry easily. Do not all problems are solved with anger, because the problem is not finished but increases in size. Now what can you do?”

Mr. Herman just kept quiet to hear his wife was angry. In his heart he felt regret for having said rudely even driving Jihan away. Though Mr. Herman has no intention to expel Jihan. His words were just an overflow of emotions because Mr. Herman was very surprised to find out that Jihan was pregnant.

Mr. Herman was devastated when he heard the news and he also felt ashamed of everyone. Especially in his residence, Mr. Herman is a respected person. Everyone was disinclined to make Mr. Herman feel ashamed when he found out that Jihan was pregnant.

“So I've been looking for Jihan where to go?” ask Dwi again.

“Father has told Gandhi to find out the whereabouts of Jihan from his friends, especially close friends like Rani,” explained Mr. Herman.

“Then what says Rani Yah?” ask mom Dwi to be curious.

“But Rani is also unaware of Jihan's whereabouts because Jihan never contacted her until now.”

“So where Jihan Yah went.”

“That's important I need to find Jihan as soon as possible because this is all Dad's fault.”

“Iya Ma'am, I told you that you were wrong and you promised to find Jihan until you meet.”

Mr. Herman was confused because he had searched everywhere where Jihan was but was not found either. Even Mr. Herman also asked for help from a cousin named Gandhi to find the whereabouts of Jihan but until now there has been no news. Mr. Herman felt sorry but everything had happened.

The next day when the doctor made a visit to the room of Dwi's mother and stated that Ms. Dwi could already go home. Ms. Dwi who was impatient to go home was happy because she was allowed to go home by the doctor who handled it.

Arriving at home, Dwi's feeling is very sad because Jihan has not been found. Ms. Dwi was also confused about what to answer when some neighbors asked about Jihan's whereabouts.

After Ms. Dwi got home there were some neighbors who visited her. Seeing that Dwi was only alone with her husband, her neighbors were astonished and immediately asked where Jihan was.

“Jihan to where Mom, how come it doesn't look?” ask Bu Lilis when visiting Ms. Dwi.

“Eh...” said Ms. Dwi was cut off when she heard her husband's words.

“Jihan is going to his auntie spot Bu,” replied Mr. Herman.

Herman answered Miss Lilis's question because she seemed confused about what to answer.

“Oh, fast invisible since earlier.”

“Iya Ma'am, last night she went where her aunt was,” said bu Dwi.

Ms. Dwi actually felt guilty and ashamed of Ms. Lilis for lying.

“Dad, what should we do? There's no way we're lying like this.”

“How to do again Mom. If we tell the truth, people's perceptions will be different. Let us lie for now if anyone asks about Jihan's whereabouts. Later after Jihan is found and we find the best solution, then we can tell everyone,” explained Mr. Herman.

“What is Father talking about?”

“However we should meet the man who raped Jihan, Mom. We have to hold her accountable.”

“If the problem is easy Well. Now the problem is that the man is different from us.”

“What? His trust is different with us?”

“Iya Well. That's what's now a problem. If you're responsible, I think he'll take responsibility. But surely Jihan must follow her trust. That's what I'm afraid of, Dad.”

Mr. Herman immediately sat down drowning to hear his wife's explanation. He did not expect that the problems his family was facing turned out to be quite complicated. Not only the problem of Jihan's pregnancy but also the problem of differences in trust. This is the most difficult thing to solve because there must be a sacrifice between the two.

Finish the magrib prayer, Mr. Herman prepares dinner. Usually it's his wife's job but since Miss Dwi just came home from the hospital so it was Mr. Herman who took over all the household duties.

After the meal was prepared at the table, Herman called his wife, who was still in his room.

“Bu, dinner is ready. Let's eat..”

“Let's aja Yah. Mother no longer appetite,” replied Ms. Dwi.

“Mother do not like that, later sick mother more severe loh,” said Mr. Herman approached his wife who was sitting on the side of the bed.

Ms. Dwi has no appetite because Jihan has not returned home.
