Taint

Mutually Recognize

I lowered my head, feeling increasingly turbulent. A man I really love, but I'm not ready to meet. Too fatal a mistake I made, too deep a disappointment I chalked up. I still need time to set my heart, but it turns out that this quickly the situation brought us together.

"Austenance!"

I looked up, looking at Mas Denis face standing right in front of me. His eyes narrowed, looking at the baby I was carrying.

"Where have you been! Go without excuse! This is how you thank Mom! Huh!" hardik Mas Denis with a sharp shot.

"Mas, I went because___"

"Shut up! I don't need your explanation. Now come with me!" Denis gripped my arm tightly.

I was terrified, because he pulled me violently. But just as I was leaving, the doctor spoke up and defended me.

"Please take care of your attitude! Miss Kirana just gave birth, it's inappropriate for you to be rude to her." The doctor removed Mas Denis's grip, and led me to sit in the first place.

"Don't interfere, Mom! I'm his family!" yell at Denis.

"I don't care who you are, all I know is that Ms. Kirana is my patient. I'm not going to stay silent, if you act rude. Besides this is a hospital, it is not allowed to make a scene here" explained the Doctor.

"But Dok___"

"If there is a problem, solve it well. No need for emotions, let alone playing hands!" doctor concluded firmly.

I saw Mas Denis' hand clenched, maybe he was mad at me. His breathing was irregular, I was more sure if his mood was bad.

After gathering courage, I began to open my voice. I'm trying to melt the mood.

"How's Mom doing, Mom?" suanyaku, slowly. Despite my intention to scream, but in fact only a soft voice managed to come out.

"You just realized you have a mother! Not satisfied you killed Dad, yes! Women don't know themselves!" mad at Denis.

I was shocked to hear Mas Denis say. Whatdoes thatmean? Could Ia___?

No, it's impossible. Mom must be fine.

I had not yet answered Mas Denis' words, suddenly Miss Fatimah was present among us.

"Who are you? How dare you say rude things to Kirana?" Fatimah looked at Mas Denis sharply.

"Mother, dia___"

"What did you say? the mother? You call someone else mother, until you forget Mom? You forget, how hard Mother struggled in raising you! Outrageous of you, Kirana!" denis is full of emotion.

"I haven't forgotten Mom, Mom. I just don't want you to keep getting mad at Mom because of me. I just stayed away, so that your relationship would be fine. I___"

"Do you have no mouth, or are you mute! You can go in a good way, saying goodbye, speaking clearly with Mom, not running away without permission. Where's your ethics!" concluded Mas Denis with higher intonation.

"Mom won't let me, if I say goodbye. I had no choice but to hide" I said, slowly.

I knew my attitude was wrong, but what else could I do. I can't possibly hang in there. I don't want to trap Mom in trouble.

"Too many reasons!" Denis threw away a glance, it was obvious that he did not like me much.

"Kirana, please explain to Mother. Who is he and what is his problem." Fatimah came up to me, and grabbed my arm.

"He's my sister, Mother. S___"

"Sister cousin," concluded Mas Denis. "He's aunty's son, he doesn't have a father, so after Aunt died, he came with my family. My parents raised him, but he's not grateful. He cast a great disgrace on him, until Dad died of it. What's wrong with being angry?" continued.

Ms. Fatimah let out a long sigh, "what's right, Kirana?"

"Yes, Mother. Sorry, I didn't tell you this. I just don't want to indulge my real mother's disgrace." I answered while looking down.

"It's okay. Mommy understands your position," said Ms. Fatimah.

Denis folded his arms around his chest, maybe he was upset to see my closeness to Fatimah.

"Now what do you want?" Fatimah asked as she looked at Mas Denis.

"What's? What's the pain, Mom?" ask me with high intonation. I immediately moved, and looked at Mas Denis.

Is this why, why is Mas Denis here?

"Let's see, I'm being treated here" replied Mas Denis, without turning his head. However, his tone of speech was more friendly than before.

"Mother." I looked up and looked at Fatimah.

"Let's meet, son. Sister, we've got Dara, yeah." Ms. Fatimah took Dara who was still asleep. So he handed it to the nurse.

"Yes, Mom. I'll take him back to the room" replied the nurse.

The doctor and nurse walked away from us. Shortly thereafter, we also moved on. Mas Denis walked in front, while Ms. Fatimah pushed my wheelchair. We headed to Mom's place.

"Oh my God, may you be well. Forgive the sins of the servant that made him suffer." I sat down while rubbing my face with my palm. Right now, my heart is really restless.

Five minutes later, we arrived at the very end of the hospital room. I saw Mas Bayu and Ma'am Diana sitting in the waiting chair. Our eyes clashed with each other, and Mas Bayu immediately moved after that.

"Austenance!" Mas Bayu called me, without taking his eyes off. His expression was hard to describe, I don't know what he was thinking.

"Mas Bayu, Miss Diana," I said, as our distance eroded further.

Mas Bayu still did not answer, he just looked at me with a view that did not know what it meant. Only Madam Diana smiled as she clasped my arm.

"How are you, Ra? You ... sick huh?" ask Diana.

"I gave birth, Mother." I answered while smiling stiffly.

"Where's your baby? What girl is a guy?" Diana asked again.

"Girl, Mommy. I leave it to the doctor" I said.

After making small talk, Mas Denis opened the door. We went in and approached the old body curled up on the bed. Although Mom's position was behind me, but I could see clearly, if her body was much thinner than the last we met.

"I'm sorry, Mother" I said in my heart.

I stretched out my hand and I grabbed her arm, "Mother."

She moved slowly, but did not look. Just the roar of his breath that I heard was getting heavier.

"Mom's not hungry, son. Don't force me" said Mother in a raucous voice.

"This ... Kirana, ma'am," I said, without letting go.

Mom instantly looked over. His hollow eyes suddenly water when he looked at me. Before the clear circle dripped, I hugged Mother's body tightly, I let go of the long longing shackles.

"How's Mom doing?" my whiskey.

"Why are you going, Kirana? Where do you live now? Who's taking care of you? I'm worried, son." My mother answered with a variety of questions.

"I'm fine, Mom. My granddaughter is born." I said while shedding tears.

I am happy because I met my mother. But on the other hand I was also sad, when I saw his condition.

"really? Where is he?" ask Mom enthusiastically. He let go of his embrace, and clasped my arm with sparkling eyes.

I haven't been able to answer Mom's question, suddenly the voice of Ms. Fatimah surprised us.

"Mak Ambar!"

I frowned in wonder, could it be that they knew each other?

I see, Mother's gaze turned tense, when she looked at Ms. Fatimah. What the hell is going on?

"Yes!" mumbling, slowly, but I can hear clearly.

Seriate...
