The Journey and Destiny of Love

Chapter 35 - The Return of Murod

The tall, thin man is now lying in the middle room of Bu Wanti's house. After the officers were able to calm the atmosphere, finally Mr. RT helped Faisal to bring the man who was considered a thief to the house of Bu Wanti. Since their arrival until now the happy cry of the middle-aged woman did not want to stop, for her it was like a dream to meet her son alive. While Murod was still lying there feeling the pain that spread all over his body.

“Sorry brother De, sorry I'm Bu,” from the corner of his eye dripped a clear liquid sign of regret.

“Now I have repented, Mom, for the past year I have a permanent job as a garden manager, I live blocked some villages from here, at first I came just wanted to see Winah and my son Bu, but every time here, this house always looks empty, I don't have the courage even just to ask the neighbors.” Murod spoke softly and faltered.

“Dinah has returned to her village, your son is handsome, and very smart,” Bu Wanti is still sobbing and squabbling while treating some bruises on his son's body. Murod was seen closing his eyes, it seemed like the fangs of the stubborn man he used to have had completely disappeared, only the figure of a face full of sadness and deserving of pity was visible now.

“If you've recovered, pick them up, you've been anywhere Nak?” said Ms. Wanti with tears that did not stop flowing, every look on her son's face made pain years ago back.

“All because of my mistake Ma'am, I was held captive by their plotters, almost two years I was enslaved and tortured to the point that my legs were broken and could not walk normally again, luckily the police finally sniffed the storage warehouse, we all ran away, lucky I didn't get caught and came back, all those caught until now are still languishing in the cells of Bu,”, Murod said in a voice full of regret.

“I realize it's karma, hopefully can atone for my sins to Father, Mother same you De,” he said while sobbing.

“We always love you, Anin told your sister, however Rizki must know the figure of her father,” said Bu Wanti asked her daughter to contact Winah and Rizki.

Anindita nodded and immediately picked up the phone. After Murod could sit down, Bu Wanti changed her dirty and shabby clothes with Faisal's t-shirt that Anindita had picked up in her fiance's suitcase.Murod leaned against the wall while listening to her mother's advice. While Faisal was accompanying the Chairman of RT and some residents who drove him earlier on the front porch. Some coffee cups already look dry when they finish straightening out the misunderstandings that have occurred.

Murod was not stealing but was watching his beloved sister and fiancee. Murod finally explained Lia's evil intentions to Faisal even though it was not until Faisal's heart told the Citizens everything, but the citizens finally understood and did not dispute it anymore. After Mr. RT and the citizens resigned, Faisal entered the living room with a used coffee cup in a tray and then he put it.

“Have you done Bang?” he asked the still-leaning Murod who was only answered by a nod.

Something hit his chest. When viewed from a close distance Murod's face turned out to have so much resemblance to him, it was just that he looked thinner, older and unkempt. But the handsome line of the Andra Dinata family was attached to his face. Faisal recalled his mother's chat with Bu Wanti about Bu Wanti's adopted son, but he didn't know if this was the right time or not. However, curiosity turned out to beat his usually thoughtful thinking.

“Bang Murod, I have twins but disappeared,” Faisal said, Murod only glanced because he did not know that he was just an adopted child in the Anindita family.

“Our facial resemblance is almost seventy-five percent Bang, tomorrow Bang Murod come with me to Jakarta, we test DNA, we,” said Faisal straightforwardly without convoluted answered by the astonished eye glare from Murod.

“Who is your name?” he said that he had not been able to get acquainted with Faisal, he only knew that the figure was his sister's future husband.

“Faisal Bang,” said Faisal Flat.

“Emhh, Murod there are things that I should have said a long time ago, sorry I hid it from you guys at that time,”, said Bu Wanti after winning her heart.

“M mean mother?” murod said stammered, his gaze narrowing full of probing.

“You are not the biological child of the mother and father,” said Bu Wanti while returning unable to stem his tears, for it is so painful to have to tell his son about a truth that has been hidden.

“I am not the biological child of Father and Mother,” said Murod Lirih reiterating a statement that reclaims the new happiness a few seconds obtained. His body felt limp, leaning back, his bones as if they were loose from the joints. This fact to him was more painful than the bruises that were still turning blue on his face.

“But mom will still love you like she used to,” said Bu Wanti while hugging her son.

Murod closed his eyes for a moment, it took courage for him to face all these realities. The feeling of guilt is even more explosive given his lack of kindness that caused the family who had been caring for him to suffer.

“Sorry Murod Bu,” The man came back as much as the middle-aged woman could hug.

“Bang Murod,” a familiar voice made Murod lift his face, seen a woman he left behind was forcing a smile towards him amid the roar of tears. The plump five-year-old boy stared innocently at his face behind the screen of Anindita's handheld mobile camera.

“Ohinah, my son, sorry brother Nah, sorry father,” Murod returned as he pleased by covering his face, he had no power to say anything to see the two people he had so long wanted to see were now across the street.

Faisal sighed, his heart sliced at the heartbreaking events that lay before him. He rushed out and calmed down. It doesn't seem like it's time he told his mother about this, but he still needs time to convince Murod to get a DNA test. And it seems like it will take time for the newly found man to come to terms with the past and all the new realities he knows.

“Abang,” Anindita patted him on the shoulder from behind, his face seemed to endure the pain. Faisal grabbed him and let the girl cry on his shoulder.

“Abang, can you help Anin pick up Kak Winah and Rizki tomorrow? Anin just wants Rizki to feel the embrace of a father, it's time Kak Winah and Rizki are happy.” The girl spoke stammering amidst her sobs. While Faisal's hand gently patted her girl's shoulder.

“Iya, tomorrow morning we pick up Sis Winah and Rizki, so that Mother is guarding Bang Murod here, hmm brother also wants to immediately take her DNA test, so that she can take a DNA test, brother's heart is sure he inherited the Andra Dinata family's facial line, he must be brother's missing twin brother,” said Faisal Lirih while pecking at the head of his lover.
