The Most Beautiful Miss

Flashback: Should We Forgive?

Long silence and silence enveloped the four of us. I'm still waiting for an explanation from the doctor's mouth. But he was still silent and looked blankly out of the house.

"Ehemm.." the doctor began to break this silence.

"So where's it been all this time?" I finally asked what she was holding in her throat.

"Papa works at a private hospital in Jakarta" he replied hesitantly.

"Continue?" continue brother.

"Okay, papa will explain slowly..."

"When papa left the village, papa stayed at Mak Sutan's house (uncle sir doctor) for 3 months until finally papa there is money to rent a small rented house in the area of the Hospital. Papa started all from scratch there, papa started buying furniture, household appliances and this hope brought you all to the house" he began to tell stories.

"Bring her there????" chirpku wonder.

"Yes, papa has a dream to take you there. and live there happy.."

"But here we are suffering" I replied.

"Sir, let papa continue his story" Mama began to talk. Maybe mom was curious. Of course, I am curious and want to know.

"After a year there, papa intends to go back to the village to pick you up, but.." his eyes start to look glassy.

"But forgot the way home?" mama's getting cynical.

"Not forgetting.. but.." she stopped. And get closer to my mom. He took mom's hand.

"I'm sorry papa ya maa." she kissed the back of my tough lady's hand.

"Continue.." Mama tried to take off the grip of the doctor.

"Mak Sutan invites papa to Bandung to see her sick daughter-in-law. Finally, he cancelled his bus ticket to the village. Arriving in Bandung all the families have gathered."

"family?" mama looked at wonder.

"Yes, there's a mother, there's a father, there's a sister"

Oh, that means there's a family from the doctor. That mother was my grandmother.

"They said that....."

"If?" mommy urged

"They said that you had returned to Medan and brought the children.." the doctor bowed.

"Communion????" mom was shocked and the voice started to rise.

I just fell silent and tried to digest all the sentences he had uttered. He listened with great concentration.

"Well, Mom said you left the village and went back to your family. You choose to return to your religion. And you chose all the luxuries that we had left behind when we married me"

Mama speaks a thousand languages.

Especially me and the Khalif bang. We fell silent and began to not understand the direction of this story. I'm confused by that story. What is my grandmother's purpose? Even to this day we never leave this village.

"I never left this village." Mom's astonished face was very clear.

The doctor took a deep breath.

"And at that moment I believed... I'm sorry...."

"I'm sorry my mother." added the doctor.

The mood was silent again. We are busy with our own thoughts.

"Keep believing and don't try to find out?" mama again asked her question.

The doctor nodded slowly.

"They're planning something else for my life. Initially Mak Sutan reasoned that her son-in-law was sick, it was not.." the doctor took a breath and continued the story.

"They insisted on convincing me of your return to Medan.. And finally I believe and hate you so much... I'm sorry..."

"What plan?" mama started to tease and put on a face full of disappointment.

"It turns out there's been someone else's family." the doctor closed his eyes for a moment.

"They introduced me to a girl and forced me to marry her. They want me to move on and forget you. Sorry...."

"La...La.. Then?" mama started to stumble.

"I married the girl and had a daughter with me." her eyes tried to wipe away her tears.

DEG!!!!

I saw a big change in my mom's face. I caught deep sadness and disappointment on my woman's face. I saw my brother clenching his hands full of anger. Me? If only I were as big as the honorable doctor sir, I I would kill him with both hands.

The man's last words continued in my ears.

Finally my mother's cry broke the silence in the house. I immediately hugged my mother and my brother pushed the man's body away from us.

The man was crying and trying to hug my mother. We blocked him and pushed him away.

The brother who had originally started to open his heart to the man ended up following his emotions and chased him away. But he did not leave the house. She kept crying and an apology always came out of her mouth.

To this day, my mother is still expecting the man. For 6 years, my mother never forgot the man. Every night I cry for that man. Even with all the suffering we had, my mother never wanted to take us back to Medan. Even though the mother's family is not an ordinary family, it can be classified as a family that is quite rich. My mom chose to wait and wait.

The reality?

The man married again and had a child.

Well, this guy is amazing.

He's smart.. Not a fool and an uneducated man. He can even look for information about his wife and children. You can find out the truth about her family story.

But she chose to believe and marry.

Duh..

How happy his life has been there for the last 6 years.

With the success and success he achieved.

With the wealth that he has had for these 6 years.

"You're amazing." My inner self looked at him cynically.
