The Sweetest Feeling's

Dygta Lecture

Nania looked at the two children who were playing in her living room. Their couches and chairs make cars, while pillows and some objects are made into items that are in their imagination.

The room looked messy but the atmosphere looked lively. The existence of children always warms every household, and Nania feels happy about it.

"Aunty? The cooking?" Zenya came over.

"A little bit more, Zen. Almost done." Nania's daydreams are falling because of it.

"Tante made what the hell? Didn't we eat at Opa's house? Why make food again?"

"Cake-free, Zen." Nani glanced at the warm waffles from her creation that afternoon. She also intended to be escorted to her in-laws' house where the sisters-in-law were gathering as usual.

He felt tired and reluctant to meet many people, but home was always the safest place to be creative and produce something. At least his mind and sadness were distracted for a moment. 

"My stomach is full." The brown curly-haired handsome boy patted his little belly with a cute facial expression. Makes Nania smile to see it.

"Why are you so funny, Zen? If it's not here, Mommy, what are you eating?" Nania squatted down to align the height of their bodies.

"Yes ordinary. Rice, vegetables, meat equals fruit. Ice cream too." Zenya.

"I'm also funny isn't it Zen?" As usual, Anya did not want to lose, which made Nania then laugh.

"Yes, you two are just as funny. Umm. Want dong who like you guys here so Auntie is not lonely." Then Nania embraced and kissed them both.

"Okay, I'll have Zen ask Mommy to move here? Let's keep it the same Aunt." Anya with all her innocence, again made Nania laugh.

"No way you can, because Mommy is the same Papi will not permit you to move."

"How do you think dong?" Zenya seemed to think.

"Aunty tengokin often come here huh? Not too lonely." He rubbed the hair on Zenya's head.

"OKAY. If so, tomorrow school will come here. Did you get Papi back in the afternoon?" zenya said convincingly.

"Okay, Zen."

"I'm the same!" Anya.

"Yes, Anya too." Nania also rubbed the top of Anya's head lovingly.

"You want to taste the waffles now? It's still warm." Then he got up and pulled the container containing the cake with the aroma of ginger and cinnamon.

"You want!! Later if you have been to the house Opa likes not to be part of it. Aunty Nna's cake is the most eeeennaak in the world!!" Zenya soared in excitement, and Nania laughed again.

"You're so sweet, Zen!" The woman rubbed her nephew's face.

"I tell the truth. Papi can't lie." Then they sat down side by side after Nania filled the plate each with two pieces of warm waffles.

"Thank you Auntie Nna, you like a great person. I love you." said Zenya who took one piece of waffle and then bit the tip.

The boy chewed on her quietly and his expression was indeed very adorable.

"It's delicious. I told you all that Auntie made that eeeennnaaaaaaak really." And the boy kept talking even though his mouth was full of food.

"You're right, Zen." Nania laughs.

"Can I hugg you?" Then Zenya asked.

"What?" Make Nania momentarily switch from her food.

"You want a hug? Because you are a nicest person I've ever met."

"May dong, time can't? That's usually it." Nania then lets Zenya hug her.

"Thank you, and I love you" said the boy again who did make Nania feel a little better.

"I want to hug too. Aunt Nna, I love you!" Anya did the same.

Behind their incredible liveliness, it turns out to hold great affection for anyone who can well accept it. And it seems that Nania became a chosen person who had an unlimited tolerance for whatever was before her. Including the problems that have hit him so far in a row.

"Okay, that's enough. If this is long, then the aunt can be sad. So, let's put the hugs on, huh?" Nania let go while wiping the wet corners of her eyes, then she put on the sweetest smile she had.

"Aunte sorted this out first huh? And you guys finish the waffles. After that we go to Opa's house again, okay?"  He got up and checked the last cake in the baking process.

"okay." The two boys answered simultaneously.

"Well, done." Then he put the cake into a container that was almost full.

"But for a minute, while you're finishing the waffles, Auntie take a break? How tired it feels." The woman then chose to sit on the kitchen floor and lean her back against the counter wall.

"What aunt is sitting down?" Anya asked.

"Hu'um, just for a moment" he said, who pulled and exhaled slowly as if he was permeating what was being felt.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"His father died in a time when he was in desperate need of a backrest and a place to complain, a house to go home and a figure to take shelter."

"Not long after her grandmother followed. While the mother who should be able to be a soul booster instead uses him. Not to mention the bad treatment from his stepfather and brother. Imagine how broken he was then? Still alive is lucky." 

Daryl and the people nearby imagined what Nania's life would be like before entering their neighborhood. And yes, the whirring must have made it very difficult.

"He was completely alone. Very far away compared to us. My sister is also a divorce victim. And feel the same way as Nania, so you can talk like this to you, Daryl." He looked at his second brother who looked dumbstruck.

"But Brother is not as nelangsa as Nania. There was Mama who fought desperately for our lives to be worth it. There are grandmothers and brothers who take care with all their heart. Then when I met Papi, my life became better. Although that lost taste will never be replaced with as much treasure as anything, but at least Brother has a family. As difficult as we are, there will still be people supporting behind without taking anything into account. Our difficulties, still there is a backstop when it is not able to find the right way to achieve the goal. As miserable as you are, still have Mama and Papi to complain. Brother, Brother Dim and Darren to lean on. But Nania? You're all he's got."

Daryl felt his throat choked. Dygta seemed to be all-out megulitiya, and he had never heard his only brother speak as widely as his display so far. But especially for the problems he was facing, the woman seemed to be intervening.

"We always say that the risk of getting into the Nikolai family is to be ready to follow the rules. But we forget that getting married to an ordinary person must also be ready to accept risks. Not only do they have to conform to us, but they always forget to conform to their habits."

"We forgot where Nania came from and what she had experienced to make it this way. We even forget to be ordinary people because there is the name Nikolai behind our name. It's like we're the most special and everyone else is nothing. And just because of a name, make ourselves feel more everything."

"We don't care about the circumstances of others and what they experience. Nor do they know how they became what they are today."

"Do you love her, or just want to have her, Daryl?" He said, which made his sister look up to him.

"It doesn't matter how you protect him. Given his circumstances like that. But do you do it purely out of love or just want to show that you have power over Nania? Because the difference is not apparent."

"If you love him right, then you will accept whatever he is. Trying to tolerate mistakes and forgive the mistakes he made. Not just accepting when he can make you happy."

Slowly Daryl understands where this red thread comes down to.

"If you love him sincerely then endure whatever happens. How he is and what his condition should be prepared to face. Including all its flaws. Because he also accepts you unconditionally, doesn't he?" Dygta tilted his head.

"And now, the question is are you able to take responsibility for it all or not? Because it all depends on you. You are the place to lean, the place to pour out affection, and moreover you are the home for him. So whatever happens next depends on your current decision." 

"Sister admit that Brother is wrong in this. Brother looks at you who wants to get married quickly is good, but does not anticipate this kind of thing and the possibilities that will come after it, so …."

"No!" Daryl just opened the sound. "My marriage to Nania was the best decision so far, so there's nothing wrong with that. Even I'm not like Big Brother said." 

"really?" Dygta. "Then what is the meaning of your attitude that silences this problem until it drags on?"

"I'm trying to fix it. But it seems really hard, and getting harder every day. And no one understands but to corner me, like Brother." Daryl is still defending himself.

"Bend you? We're here to show you how you should behave. And what you should have done. And it's not us who don't understand, but you. Or should you call me not to understand?" Dygta pressed the last word.

"Dimitri, Darren even Mama and Papi understand. They also know what should be explained to you on this matter. But they just don't want to make you feel offended by your very high ego."

Daryl.

"If it's not the ego, then what's the name of this situation, Der? When you can't let go of what God has told you. And you can't accept otherwise everything will go according to your plan. Are you angry, emotional and blaming others?"

"That means in this case you are clearly blaming God. But you don't deserve to be. Who the hell are we? Who lightly judged Nania as the only suspect to blame for the miscarriage? You think he's crazy to let his son be the victim to save his mother? What is he so crazy about?"

"Sir Dim has said something like this before, Brother." Daryl glanced at Dimitri who was just silent listening to the conversation.

"Yes good. Means it's not just Big Brother who's aware of this." Dygta answered again.

"Once, Der. Ikhlaskan, relax. So that everything will return to its original condition."

"I've let it go, brother. Relys! I've even accepted everything and tried to let it go, .. I …."

"really?"

"Yes, believe me!"

"And the culmination of mengikhlaskan it is to forgive each other, and vice versa.. But have you done it?"

Daryl was silent.

"Your silence answers everything." Dygta stuck his back on the back of the sofa.

"It's okay, at least Brother has done what he should have done. Because you have an obligation to do that. Not to interfere or dictate in your domestic affairs, but to set the record straight on what may not be going well. Let nothing happen to this family because one of us is cruel to someone. That guy doesn't deserve it."

Daryl was at a loss for words. Whatever was said by his sister was really striking his ego as one of the family members whose name is respected by many people.

"It's also if you want to listen to Brother. But if not, yes …."

"No!" Daryl got up. Suddenly he remembered about Nania who had not really recovered and who had not let go as he said. 

"Of course I …." He wiped away the circle that almost slid from his eyes when he realized something.

Then without much words, he immediately ran towards his house in the back.
