My name is Aleta Dewi. I'm a girl from a poor family. I just graduated high school but I am still grateful that I can still go to high school.
When I was 20. There was a middle-aged man coming at me. On that day was the day I had to part with the grandmother who had been taking care of me from childhood to adulthood.
My mother died when I was 6 years old. He had a uterine cancer that had been in pain since my birth. Because of your situation is still less able.we are not able to finance the treatment of mothers.
"Aleta. Are you Aleta Goddess?" Ask the middle-aged man.
I looked up to see who asked me my name.
"Yes my Aleta. Sorry who are you?" Ask Leta.
"Aleta. I'm Deva. Look at you" replied Deva.
I was surprised by what the father said. All I know is that my dad is dead. That's what I know from my grandmother's story when I was a kid.
"Sorry sir. But my grandmother said, my papah was dead when I was still in my mother's womb" Leta replied bowed.
The middle-aged man approached me. I was a little scared because this time no one could look after me. I have become a kara.
"No son. I am your birth papah. Sorry I haven't seen you all this time. I am here to atone for all my sins that have brought you down" Deva explained.
Leta thought about what the man said. As a child he knew his papah had died but all this time he did not know where his papah tomb was located.
"Nak come with papah. Papah please Leta. Papah does not want to take this sin if you refuse to join papah" Deva said.
Leta is still thinking about joining Deva. She is afraid if Deva has bad intentions on her.
"This is proof if you don't believe in papah. This is a letter from your mother and a photo of you as a baby. Your mother sent this all to Papah" Imbuh Deva.
Leta received the letter. Yet she still hesitates to read her in front of her grandmother's grave.
"You go home, son. Papah will come back here tomorrow to see you again" Pinta Deva.
"Good" Leta answered.
Leta walked to go home. He kept thinking about Deva's words to himself earlier.
Leta has reached her house. This place is more worthy of being called a hut than a house. Because the finances of the Leta family are very short.
"Mother is she really my papah? Why did Grandma say Papah was dead?" That's the question that's in Leta's head.
Leta sat on the edge of her worn-out bed. He opened the letter the middle-aged man gave him slowly.
""Deva. I know you are happy with your little family. I also know that I'm just an affair that you don't expect anymore. But I sincerely love you Deva.
Even though we do not have a status that can be accepted by law. But I still hold on to the love you gave me.
Deva I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you. I'm sorry I didn't have the heart to abort my womb just like you wanted.
But today I am very happy because the fruit of our love has been born into this world safely and healthily.
She's a pretty baby Deva her nose and eyes are exactly like yours.
Deva I'm sick right now. I just wanted to ask you to meet our little princess. He's not wrong anything Deva. Let her be happy and know her.
I hope you want to meet Deva.
Good bye Deva. I love you so much""
Leta cried when reading a letter from her mother sent to her papah. Devas.
"So bewildering if he's my papah" Leta said.
"Mom why should I be born as a child that my own father did not expect?" Leta Guman.
Leta continued to cry so long she cried she herself did not realize that her self began to fall asleep in her dreams.
Into his morning at Leta's house.
This morning Leta woke up with puffy eyes. She went to the bathroom and washed her face to make her look a little fresh.
Leta walked towards the kitchen to cook. She recalled back to her grandmother who cooked every morning along with her.
"Grandmother today the man will pick me up. It's okay if I go with him. He said he was my mother" Guman Leta.
Tok to tok.
The knock on Leta's door. Leta opened the door of her house and saw Deva already standing in front of her house.
"You've come? Please come in" Pinta Leta let Deva into her house.
Deva sees the state of the house that looks very bad. He did not expect that his son would live in the house that was about to collapse.
"You've been living here all along with your mother?" Ask Deva.
"Yes. But since my mother died I have lived here with my grandmother" Leta replied.
Leta offers tea to Deva
"Please have the tea" Leta said.
Deva drinks Leta's tea. When Deva drank Leta's tea he was surprised because Leta's tea was exactly the same as that made by Mother Goddess Leta.
"Leta. Have you thought about what I offered you yesterday?" Ask Deva.
"Yes already" replied Leta bowed.
"So how? Do you want to come stay at Papah's house?" Ask Deva again.
"Yes I want to" replied Leta.
So happy that Deva grabbed Leta's body and hugged Leta.
"Thank you Leta. Thank you for giving Papah the opportunity to atone for your sins as you and your mother" Deva said in tears
"Yes pah" replied Leta.
Deva lifted her embrace and turned her tears away.
"All right now let's go to Papah's house. Are you ready?" Ask Deva.
"Not much I bring reward. Just a few clothes" Leta replied.
"It's okay. Later papah will buy all your needs" said Deva.
"Yes pah" replied Leta.
