Jefri POV's.
"What else?" my snapping.
"So you left me because of that girl? Pantes yeah when I met him at your mall like a fire beard."
I dragged Paula's hand out of the hospital lobby, "We have no relationship anymore, I married Tika. So please, don't fuck it up."
"You're the one who messed up. I don't think we're because there's a third person. But..."
"Don't you ever say he's third. Inget, she's my wife now." I'm getting more emotional.
"I'm wrong what the hell is Jeff like you? So you're gonna giniin me?"
"You were pregnant when we broke. You think I don't know? And you came back to me with a pregnant condition that you covered up from me. Trus disappeared a few months when we were dating again and back and forth you said you adopted a baby. And it turns out that it's not an adopted child, but your own child, your flesh and blood. And stupidly me again, just want to keep cramming the relationship with you for years. And luckily you never wanted me to marry you either. Trus if the relationship is so willing to be flanked? Let's answer!!" my annoyance.
Paula crying. I still hold both of his hands. From a distance I saw Haikal walking away from my car. I let go of my hand.
"I want marriage, I want a family, I have a child of my own flesh and blood. Not pushing people's children. I want to be myself. You didn't realize you were asking me to be someone else all along? So Papi's the boy! You're conscious, aren't you?" it was me who started to blow my anger.
"I hope the boy is amnesiac with me, so he can find his own father. Not looking for me anymore." I said firmly and left Paula limp sitting down crying as if.
"Why him?" haikal asked who passed me.
"You know, you still don't accept reality." I answered reflex.
"Gua actually males interfered again, but I think you should tell this story to Mamah and your parents. Let everything take a stand if something happens in the future. Just in case you two are too." Haikal advised.
"Yes cave understands, thank you." I said while breathing rough.
"Yes, be careful on the road." said Haikal then hugged me and we parted, I headed for the car, Haikal towards his ER room.
As soon as she entered the car, Tika did not scold me with her question. He just smiled and kept quiet. So too with Mamah.
"We're going straight home, right?" my many.
I saw in the mirror Mamah was cool with her phone, I saw Tika, she looked at me while nodding.
**
Two days passed. Finally this morning I got the right timing for the story to Mamah, according to Haikal's advice. Yes at least to prevent unwanted things later in life.
Tika is jogging. As usual Mamah prepared breakfast and peeled fruits for Tika. Ever since we got married, Mom has been pampering me in this house. Tika said the Mamah is like that, because Mamah nyari busyness. Habits of many activities.
I told you who Paula was to Mamah, I also told her how I met her daughter. Here I admit that I have a heart for two. But I also explained if Tika had time to stay away from me and we reached the lose contact.
I tell you everything in detail, but not in the 21+ section we did before marriage. Mamah had an emotional look, but he could wisely hold it until finally he could control his feelings again.
"Oh so, then the DNA results have come out?" ask Mama enthusiastically.
"Udah kok Ma, I just haven't taken it yet. The plan was to see the boy's father again. I want to take him to see his son. But I still doubt, if that doesn't make me more and more of a snob into their scope.."
"It's all wrong if it's in your position, Mamah understands. But you better be enough here just help him, whatever his father, want to meet his son what not. Enough you anterin only the results of his DNA, already." advice Mamah.
I nodded, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. I can tell this to Mamah. So if in the future there is nothing, Mamah can help me handle this problem temporarily. Now just tell it to my parents.
"Braggie.. Oh, baby, are you awake? Hm?" greet Tika who has been bored and kissed my cheek.
"Yes, no." I gave him a glass of water.
"What the hell was that talking about? I think it's so exciting."
"Some, you want to know." as fast as I can.
Tika furrowed both of her eyebrows then smiled.
"Chat between in-laws and son-in-laws!" sahutku again.
Tika laughs. Yes my relationship with Tika has started to melt again. He was no longer cold or cold to me. Two nights he's back to sleep in my arms.
"You want coffee? Let me make it.." bargain.
I saw Mamah a bit away from opening the fridge, I teased Tika.
"I want you.." I said.
Tika laughed loudly.
"Aika!! Why the hell?" reprimand Mamah.
"Ga papa Mah, Jefri is funny." she said, smiling at him.
"Well, this afternoon I want ajakin Tika ngeliatin progress of our house can ya?" my permission again while eating the sandwich bread that Mamah made.
"Yes if you want to walk, yes walk, do not use all permits, you are already married, Tika already has you anyway." replied Mamah relaxed.
"Yes still have to say dong Mah, this is the scope of Mamah's house."
Mom laughed, "It's up to you, Jef.."
"We're looking at home?" I asked while touching Tika's arm.
He looked at me while putting the melon into his mouth slowly. I who saw her behavior became a little aroused. Either because my brain is too perverted or indeed because of its sensual movements. But if I think about it one more time, there's nothing wrong with moving it to eat the melon. Okay fixed! My brain is too perverted!
"Bytleh. Jham erapha?" he answered while chewing the melon.
I shook my head slowly at his behavior, "Jam 11an let's go, how?"
He just nodded his head.
**
"Well does he want to buy a house? This is not the way to the house.." Tika looked at me.
"We go to Mama's house first. Someone wants me to talk to you, Mama. It's not papa, is it?"
Tika just kept quiet beside me. I don't know what's in his brain, I smiled at the glint of seeing him still staring at me.
Once we got to my parents' house, we walked in casually. Mama who was watching television with Jordy was spontaneously shocked and Jordy immediately ran over to us.
"Why didn't you tell me if you wanted to come here?" mama got up from her sitting.
"Indeed if I want to go home alone must be permission now?" my sahut who was holding Jordy while approaching Mamah kissed Mama's cheek.
"Yes not that, Mama can nyiapin what bukat we eat."
"Ga don't bother Ma.." said Tika kissed Mama's cheek as well.
"This why is this hotshot om lunches already here?" I'm worried about Jordy.
"Nemenin Oma cendilian." he said.
"This is the same Onty, how do we play ball?" take Tika.
"No. Jordy played by himself first yes, Onty same talk to Oma first, yes?"
Jordy pursed her lips and inching to be taken down from my sling. Jordy ran to the table with her toy and was instantly engrossed in her world.
"What do you want to say, Dul?" ask Mama while sitting back on the sofa.
"Where's Jordy's tab Ma?" much
"There is this."
"Jordy's lying there playing this?"
Jordy looked at me and then her eyes sparkled. I took my headphones that I had once kept under the drawer of the television table. Then put it into Jordy's ear after I set the loudness of his voice. Jordy collapsed while opening YouTube happily watching his cartoon show.
"Ma, I want to tell Mama something. But I hope Mama can be wise. I just don't want to go ahead later Mama thought macem-macem. I'll also talk to Papa myself. Just make it now to Mama first." I said cutting their conversation.
"What do you want to say? I think it's serious, Mama's scared of this.."
"You want to tell me what the hell?" ask Tika to wonder.
"Loh Tika also don't know what to say?" surprised Mama again.
"I want to tell Paula" I said, holding Tika's hand.
Then my eyes shifted to Mama.
"Who's Paula?" said Mama shock.
Tika just looked at me in astonishment.
I started my story from the time I was dating Paula, until Paula suddenly disappeared, returned with her covered-up pregnancy, and then disappeared again, reappeared with the status of adopting a child and asked me to regard the child as my son. Until I finally tried to find out for myself about Paula and the kid.
Then I also told the beginning of my introduction to Tika, until I finally chose Tika to be my wife. Tika shed her tears as I told her about herself in terms of my view. Mama was amazed by the journey of life that I went through, because all this time I was close to Mama, but I had never told her anything like this.
Tika and Mamah kept quiet, just listening to my story without even interrupting my talk. I was actually afraid to tell Mama all this. But I want Tika to feel safe, not only in the middle of her family, but also in the middle of my family.
And if one day Paula behaves beyond reason, Tika knows that she is not wrong. And I don't want him to think that he's the one who ruined my relationship with Paula. And I also want him to know that I really can't afford to lose him in any situation.
"Trus when you met him the other day, what did you say?" ask Tika suddenly to me.
"I asked him not to bother us. I know very well he's a desperate man. That's why I told you and Mama." I explained again.
"You still have the same taste of him?" lirih Tika and her hands shook again, the corner of her eyes shed tears again.
I quickly grabbed him, buried his face in my chest. Mama looked at me sharply.
"Truthfully meuu, you still love her, don't you?" tanyanya in her sobs.
"I don't want to lose you and I don't want to....."
"You still love him!!" tika shouted while pushing me.
He slipped out of my arms. I don't know where she got the strength to push me. I fell down, my chest that was pushed down hurt.
I saw anger covering his face. With her roaring cry Mama hugged Tika from behind. Tried to calm him.
"Dul.. Do you realize you've made Tika sick?" lirih Mama looked at me.
"I just want to be honest Ma.."
"Tika's answer to that! Do you still love that girl?" Mama snapped at me.
"Darling please don't believe me." I said as I tried to touch my wife's hand.
Tika brushed off my touch.
"Jawab Mama Dul!!! Mama has never taught you to make a woman's heart. And now Tika is your wife. You know your duty. Tika's question is simple, the answer is only yes or no. Don't be convoluted." snapped Mama again.
Tika is crying more and more in the arms of Mama.
"Well what is this?" papa's voice shocked all of us, but not Tika who was still crying.
"Mama did not expect Pa, our son still has the same heart as his ex." ketus Mama.
Papa looked at me, "What is this Dul?"
I can no longer speak. I feel pain seeing Tika's condition now. I hurt her.
"Pa, please take Jordy to our room. He overslept." said Mama again normalized her tone.
Papa immediately removed the tabs and headphones that Jordy was using and moved them to the room. Then again, demanding answers.
"Don't you understand what this is? Why are you crying?" Papa started to panic.
I heard Mama exhaled violently, I bowed not daring to look at Mama.
"Let's you talk to Papa, tell me all you've been telling that story." said Mama.
Slowly I started telling Papa everything. From A to Z until I met him the other day in the hospital. Papa looks wise in responding to my story.
"Trus Tika why?" ask Papa.
"When you ask, is Dul still feeling with that woman? But Dul even convoluted to answer it." explained Mama.
"Ma, I don't feel the same way about him. There's no more. There's just hate Ma." I explained.
"Why hasn't that been answered? Mama tell you yes, which wife does not think so much if the way you answer simple questions is convoluted. Have to wait for Papa first you can be firm?"
"Dul, Papa would like to speak with you four eyes." Papa stood inside the guest bedroom.
"It's Nak ya, it's." said Mama while calming Tika whose cries began to subside.
I stood up to follow Papa with a chaotic feeling.
Papa closed the room door. I sat on the edge of the bed. Papa pulled up the small chair, sat facing me.
"Who was your ex's name?" Papa started asking me.
"Paula."
"Are you sure his son isn't yours?"
"Remain Pa, I've had a DNA test and I've got the boy's father."
"Trus is your plan?"
"I tell this to Mama and Papa let you believe me in the future. I was the one who wanted to bring the man directly to meet his son. But after I think again, if I still take care of it, I don't directly care about them and it will hurt Tika's heart."
"Are you sure there's no taste for Paula?"
"I love Tika Pa, love my wife!"
"Trus why when Tika asked you the answer was convoluted? The husband must be firm. You remind me that you asked Papa to call Tika for you?"
I nodded my head.
"What question does Papa ask you before Papa fulfills your wish? You remember that, right?"
I nodded again.
"Your answer is so quick and firm. Make Papa and Mama sure that you are able to build your own family. Now what? You answer the question so you can't be firm. And that's why you hurt your wife's heart! Just because of that, trivial things according to Papa, but not according to your wife!"
"Don't you think, those trivial things can be finished by themselves. The woman is smooth feeling. Papa is sure you know the problem well." added Papa again.
I took a deep breath and breathed it rough.
"Now you take your wife to the room, calm her down, clear up. Anyway tonight you're the same wife you sleep here. Let your Mama take care of me. All later Papa and Mama to the house of your In-laws to take some Tika clothes. Do you know about your ex? "
"You know Pa, this morning I was kind of telling you when Tika went jogging."
"Yes, Papa just don't want your in-laws or your Mama to follow. You are married so we are only as givers enter. Do you understand what Papa means?"
"Yes Pa." I thought slowly.
"Here, calm down your wife." Papa said.
I stood up and went out of the room.
