The Heart I Choose

Episodes 2.5

The two-story, green-painted house looks gallantly coupled with the neighboring house on his right left.

Dika's cry was no longer heard, only the rest of the sobbing and several breaths from his nose.

"I miss Mama, Grandma!" dika said towards me.

"When you don't miss Papa?" ask Dika.

The white boy whose face looks more like his mother looks unprepared with the questions I give.

"When you miss Papa, you miss Mama and you miss

adek too," he replied now his voice was heard to cry again.

I swiped Dika's head, this year he was six years old, actually I was tired of having to take care of a small child, with an age of almost 60 years, it was appropriate to sit back and relax playing with my granddaughter, he said, no longer babysitting.

"If Dika misses Papa and Mama, Dika must follow the words of Grandma, Dika want Papa and Mama united as before?" I said while continuing to rub his head.

She seemed to nod her head, "When she wants to go home to Dika like she used to be, Grandma" he replied.

"Eatya Dika must be here! same grandma, grandpa, Bang Ryan and brother Rani, all here dear Dika...."

"Mama also loves Dika," he said cutting my sentence.

"Yes.... Grandma knows, Well if Dika here, Mama must miss, and continue to want to return with Papa, If Dika can be united again with Mama and Papa."

Hopefully my simple explanation, can make him understand, I do not know what else to say, which I convey in accordance with Wandi's request so that I can hold and keep Dika here.

Wandi used to tell me to take care of Ryan and Rani hoped Cica's first wife would go back to see the kids and return to Wandi, it wasn't that easy, Cica only wants to be with her son but not with Wandi.

I was amazed by his wife Wandi both Cica who had been married for the first time, and Mia who is now still a wife Wandi. What is the lack of Wandi, my son looks handsome with white skin and nose, his body is not fat and not too thin, his height is in accordance with the portion of his body, and his body, his job as an office employee who became the target of many people, especially now after rising office, surely he could easily get a woman who is much more beautiful than his wife now.

"Sir, Dika is hungry" said Dika holding my hand.

"Grandma get ya!" it has been one week, Ma'am Nah who used to help at the permit house, because her gout pain relapsed, my work has increased, especially since Dika was also invited here, because she was also invited, my break time is almost no more. "You want Grandma to bribe in?"

Dika nodded in agreement, usually Dika is not spoiled, maybe because she still misses her mother, let me temporarily should be able to make her feel at home here.

I asked Dika to sit next to me, then I pointed her chair face to face, so it was easier to bribe her.

"When are you often in your mama's bribe?" ask me to provoke a chat about her Mama.

"Oo means tomorrow-tomorrow bribes themselves too yes!"

"Yes Nek," replied Dika as she opened her mouth receiving a bribe from the spoon in my hand.

I tried to lure more questions to Dika, usually the little ones rarely lie, "Time at home Dika, Papa and Mama often fight huh?"

"Yes, Papa often gets angry Mama, Papa goes home the night continues, Mama gets angry but Papa gets angry again." With the spirit of Dika told me, "Padang Papa did not give money to Mama, so Mama took money in Dika's piggy bank to cook."

Meaning Wandi's words are right, that Mia is a thief, maybe Wandi forgot to give her money, what's wrong with her waiting if she wants to shop? Wandi also gave no small amount of money at least 100 thousand, Wandi often told me.

"Mama Dika stole?" I said, asking Dika's opinion.

"No Grandma, Mama is not angry, Mama has permission same Dika," replied Dika protest.

Dika does not understand, he is still too small, when he should know, the actions of his mother are not good.

"Well, if you take a shower now, will you be late in the afternoon? papa's calling in a minute."

I get a towel for Dika, I call Rani to help Dika take a bath,

"Rani, help Dika take a shower! Grandma wants Ashar's prayer."

Rani comes out of her room lazily, "Why not be loved by her mother anyway Nek? just nahusahin!" rani's voice sounded loud, like intentionally let Dika hear it.

Rani's words have a point, I'm too old to be re-burdened like this, when Ryan and Rani were abandoned by her Mama, her mother, there are still Brother and Sister Wandi in this house who want to help. I just can't bear to refuse Wandi, he's already suffered too much, because of his wife.

"No way to say that Rani, Dika is Rani's sister too," I said while helping Dika take off her clothes.

Rani did not answer anymore, she pulled Dika's hand towards the bathroom. I went to my room to pray Ashar.

After praying, I pray Wandi get the best in his life, I pity to see his fate, already twice married and the fate of his marriage is almost the same, run aground because of the abandonment of his wife. Wandi's wife, no one knows thank you. Moreover, Mia just graduated Junior High not a rich person, still fortunately I want to make her a daughter-in-law, now she acted anyway, selling expensive when Wandi wants to invite her to refer.
