The Fate of Adipura Kingdom

33. The Past of Sinta

“This is for your own good”

“But dad... I'm too weak”

"It's time for you to have the provision of martial arts"

"But dad..."

“Sint... I don't want to repeat the mistake that made your mother leave us. I love you so much, your nature is very similar to your mother. Whatever you do father will never be angry, but this time please follow father”'s request

Sinta fell silent after hearing the words from her father. His father's words just reminded him of the events of his bitter past. An event that must separate him from the figure of a mother who loves him very much.

His mother was from among the dignitaries and his father was just a traveling swordsman at the time. The two meet by accident and end up falling in love. Blatantly they are in a romance that makes anyone who sees them think they are a compatible couple.

Because of this blatant attitude finally their love story is known by his mother's parents, then his mother was forced to break with her father.

But the wall of love that had been built together could not shake his mother's desire to live with her father. With the determination that has been rounded the two then together facing in front of his mother's parents to ask for blessing.

Helped recklessly but it was all sweet fruit, his father was able to convince his future in-laws to make his mother happy and keep her until death separated them.

Seeing the earnestness of his father at that time made both of his mother's parents become devastated. They eventually agree to the relationship but on the condition that they will not receive any money from their parents.

His father and mother accepted these conditions and lived like ordinary people. Their lives were finally complete with Sinta's presence. Their days were filled with merrily laughter and felt so beautiful that the heart-wrenching event came.

Sinta was silent and the look on her face showed deep sadness. Slowly her eyes began to glaze over and Sinta turned her face not daring to look at Bik Sekar. Bik Sekar who saw it became confused what to do, seeing Sinta now as if he was lamenting his past made bik Sekar become misbehaved.

Bik Sekar then massage Sinta's back which makes Sinta finally become calmer. Not long after, Sinta turned her face towards the front.

“Non is okay?”

“It's okay bik, I just remembered the story of my past”

“Better we just go home non”

“Do not bik, I still want to look around this village”

“What non can still walk?”

“I am still strong bik, what aunt who is getting tired accompany me?”

“Ahh... Not so non. Seeing non look sad just now makes the aunt feel wrong. Bibik does not know what makes non can be sad so rather than continue it is better not to rest alone at home”

Sinta again fell silent to the explanation from Bik Sekar. His current feeling was like he wanted to be angry but on the one hand was also so sad. He then closed his eyes and exhaled softly before returning to speak.

“Non, don't mind too much. Non content is already in old age, non should pay attention to the health of non” content

“Good bik”

“Thinking with a cool head will make everything better”

“I've felt better bik, thank you. Let's continue the journey again and I will start telling you again”, Sinta invites bik Sekar to continue his second journey. Seeing Sinta's smile that is so sweet makes Sekar sure to obey Sinta's request.

“If non want like that let bibik accompany” bik Sekar reply with the best smile he has. Then they continued their journey around the village. Sinta re-connect the story that is not over and make Sekar focus to listen to the connection of the story.

The problems of life will always befall every human being on this earth. Likes to dislike everyone who lives will experience a problem both small and big. Likewise with the family life Sinta did not escape the problem.

Their families who were initially happy and just ordinary life became full of vigilance after the news that both parents of the elderly mother wanted to share the inheritance with her children. This is where the great catastrophe appeared and made him have to lose the mother figure he loved so much.

His mother had a younger sister who was so infatuated with possessions. His figure that was so arrogant about the wealth of his parents made anyone would sneer at him. But he did not feel strange, instead he continued to show off all the jewelry he wore to the public.

His attitude like that made his parents continue to have problems and could only shake their heads. His mother's parents could do nothing. If restrained or scolded by his parents, his mother's sister will rampage.

Not infrequently his mother's sister will go berserk if the gifts he gets are of lower quality than his mother. He will force you to exchange gifts at any cost.

Even during the simple wedding of his father and mother, his mother's sister came with a very unpleasant face. Although the event was held simply but many people attended even among the officials who knew his mother well.

Many gifts were given to the new married couple, it was also that made his mother's sister became very envious. He came as the last guest, but instead of congratulating or bringing gifts, he raised his hand as if asking for rations to his own brother.

The unpleasant actions made my father become a little angry, he who initially only held back now can not compare again his anger. He wanted to curse his mother's sister who had become his sister-in-law.

The debate was between the two, instead of feeling guilty about her mother's sister as if she was a victim in the quarrel. The debate that was finally rowdy made some guests who were still present became worried about the atmosphere that was happening.

Some guests did not even hesitate to immediately leave the wedding, but there were also guests who finally approached the two people who were arguing about breaking up.

When the two were about to be divorced suddenly his mother's sister fell down and then cried as hard as possible and accused his father of having cursed her with dirty words. Sinta's father was surprised by that, as well as the guests who were about to divorce.

Sinta's father's eyes reddened because of it, he was about to approach his mother's sister and wanted to slap the person who had the foul mouth. But when he was about to move his wife's hand held back his movement.

Ibu Sinta looked around and offered an apology to all the guests. His mother said that this problem was just a misunderstanding. Of course, his father did not accept it, but his mother reassured him to calm down and just listen.

Things got more under control after her mother approached and said she would give the sister her wedding gift. In an instant the cry stopped and the look on her sister's face changed.

The smile of victory was engraved on the face of his mother's sister at that time, he had managed to make it said he complied with the request that seemed forced. His father wanted to reject what his mother told his sister, but his mother chose that path so that this problem would not continue.
