"Why didn't you tell me you didn't live at home?" They sat in a chair that was still one room with a kitchen and a bed.
"Why does the house even move hands like that? Is mom not darling? That's Grandma's house but it easily belongs to people because of debt?" Nania scolds her mother.
"Mom had no other choice, Nania. Every day a debt collector comes you think you can be patient?" Mirna answered.
"Why do you have debt? What old money? School children do not have, the cost for others also does not exist. There's only a mother doang."
Mirna fell silent.
"The father's house is selling the money that does not know what to use, and now the house is grandmother, the only one that mother has also designed to others. How the hell do you think I don't understand?"
"Can't you want useless things like that? At least think for your own mother, don't think about me. I don't usually think it's acute. If you have a home, let us have nothing else as well as like life will be safe. Do not think about the cost of rent that do not know if we can meet every month or not? If it's a dizzy mother herself?"
"I ask you, how much does the rent per month cost? It can't be free, right? Mending that Om Hendrik came to think, but in fact where? I can only live." Nania continued to speak, and without further ado she spoke everything in her head.
What he had been keeping was finally revealed in front of his mother.
"Try the Bu, stay in Om Hendriknya. Living with her didn't make her better, but it got worse. What do you expect from a man like him? For years we have been like gini. I'm lacking, relationships are not good, our lives are also falling apart. Just because of that one guy."
Then their attention is distracted when someone comes in. Namely Hendrik who has just arrived from his daily activities at the gambling house. And he almost ran out once he found some people inside his residence. Regan quickly catches up and drags her down until she sits next to Mirna in front of Nania.
"Om outrageous!" The woman is straying.
He looked at Henry sharply and with great anger, of course, considering what he had done to his family, especially his mother.
"Om not satisfied with ruining my family? Not satisfied to have taken the mother from the father so that our family became a mess? Keep now Om take the only treasure you have to fulfill Om's illogical desire? If you want to go crazy, go crazy yourself. Don't take me!"
Hendrik kicked the table and got up, not accepting what Nania said. Regan went back and warned. While Daryl beside the woman sat quietly watching with a no less sharp gaze.
"Om, if you can't make things better like hopefully. Than to continue to drag on like a gini. Pity my mother who does not know anything must bear the distress that Om caused. Want to gamble, get drunk or whatever it is up to Om, I will not interfere. But don't involve my mother to this extent, I'm not willing. Let's never feel loved because it's been hunted the same Om, but she's still my mother, and I'm not going to let Om do more damage to mom."
Hendrik looked loud. He wanted to answer but the presence of four men near Nania made his guts faint. Otherwise, he would have already beaten up his stepson all out.
"All decisions are in the hands of the mother. If you want, I'll get you out of here and do everything you need. But one condition." Nania looked at her mother's face.
"Mother split the same Om Hendrik." he continued in a flat but firm voice, making Hendrik flabbergasted.
"I'm sure you're not really like this. But because life is the same Om Hendrik mother so different. So I beg you, come with me right now. Let's start all over again and fix everything. I'm sure we can be like other parents and children, whose relationships are normal and affectionate."
Daryl seemed to be sighing heavily as if he was witnessing an emotionally draining scene. Which in fact it is.Β
"Mom?" Nania wants to convince her mother.
While Mirna was silent, and she thought of some things. There is nothing more to expect from her husband than distress, and her daughter promises a better life.
Maybe this is the way so that he can escape from Hendrik and all kinds of difficulties that are currently facing him, including the torture that began to be done by the man.
But Hendrik's hard squeeze on his knee made Mirna wake up from his daydream. He turned to the man and looked at his beckoning face.
Mirna was terrified, and something returned her memory to what made her choose the man a few years younger than her.Β
And he was the one who made her choose to leave her husband and children. So does it have to end like this?
What he sacrificed and what he got was not worth it. And it all felt in vain.
"I'm sorry β¦." Suddenly Hendrik opened his voice.
"I was wrong and I'm sorry I wasted you. It turns out that everything I do is useless especially because it has troubled you. I'm sorry, Mirna" he said, and it made everyone astonished.
"I just decided not to come to that place anymore, and today I got my first job. It's not unusual to just be a building porters, but for both of us I think it's enough." The man spoke.
"In that way, I hope that we can also start again from the beginning, even though I realize that maybe you will not believe me anymore" he said with a sad look.
"I'm sorry, Mirna." Suddenly Hendrik dropped himself to his knees at the woman's feet, then he cried so hard.
"Hendrik!!" And Mirna tries to keep him away, even though the man persists to get sorry.
"I'm sorry, sorry. I have wronged you, forgive me!" He kept trying to gain sympathy, especially Mirna.
And the man mustered all his manipulative abilities to regain Mirna's trust.
"Nania, Om apologize for what happened all along. But I swear, Om won't do it again." Then he turned to Nania.
They were all silent except for Daryl who again snorted while rolling his eyes.
"Have it, don't talk so much like this. You better be β¦."
"I beg you!!" But Hendrik crawled and rested at Daryl's feet. This time he had to do more to avoid more serious problems. He had to be careful because he knew who he was facing.
"I won't do it again, I promise." He was adamant and held on even though Daryl jerked his foot.
"I beg you!!" Hendrik kept on caving in.
"Mom?" Nania awaits the decision of her mother who was silent staring at Hendrik.
And that made the man turn to him, which of course Daryl immediately stopped because he couldn't possibly let anyone touch his wife. Especially someone like Hendrik.
"Mom, shall we go? Mom can stay with us, and I promise everything will be fine from now on" said Nania again who wants to reassure her mother.
But Mirna did not respond and she instead looked at her husband who was begging for forgiveness to them.
"Mom?" nania said again and Mirna turned to her.
"Come, come with me. We β¦."
"May I have time to think?" Mirna answered immediately.
"What's? Wanna think about what?"
"Just think of something β¦."
"No, come with me. Mum's Cepet." Nania got up and almost grabbed her mother's hand.
"Mom just wants some time, can you? Later after sure I'll call you."Β
"But, Mum?"
But then Daryl touches his arm to stop him.
"Just for a minute" Mirna said, and she pulled Hendrik back to her side.
"Now you go home, and wait for mom to call" he told his daughter.
"But β¦."
"Mother seriously. This time I'll listen to you." said Mirna again and she looked reassuring.
And there was no other option for Nania to leave the decision to her mother even though she was unsure.
