The Thorn in the Family

Equally Injured

“Delay...”. The shrill voice of the little girl who rested next to her scattered the daydreams of Dance, she looked at the innocent face of Risma, and raised her face. Their eyes locked for a while.

“Mother, why? Don't be sad I love Bunda”. Her fingers extended back gently stroking the soft face of her mother's.

“Pardon Mommy yes son, everything will be fine. Risma do not be afraid, Mommy is not papa, just that Mother is there is a little something that must be straightened”.

Dance tried to lift the corner of her lips, giving her the sweetest smile she had. Now two women of different generations embrace each other in silence, as if the presence of Risma can be a fragile footstool to stand on.

Meanwhile in the hospital, Mawar and Ms. Srining could only keep quiet, no one dared to try to open her lips. Moreover, Randi who never returned after his departure chasing Tari.

An hour passed, both of them still silent, with an indescribable look. Until a few seconds later Bu Sringing began to open a silence between them.

“Now all the truth has been revealed, it should be a great start to your life after this”. Tukas Bu Srining flatly without seeing the face of the Rose.

The rose, still silent, did not give an answer.

“Bethari may currently be angry and disappointed in Randi, but Randi also deserves to be happy with the presence of a child in his life. I believe that sooner or later Dance, too, will definitely accept all of this. After all the family of Tari, also not far from the word benalu, which can only gnaw my son”. Ms. Srining still gives arguments from her point of view, which she thinks by marrying Randi and Roses, will bring her own blessing and happiness to her son.

“I don't know Ma, whether Mas Randi still accepts me or not to be his wife, after all the secrets are revealed with just”. Now the lips of the Rose are confused, powerless not to answer the hopes of her in-laws.

“I'm sure she will accept, she loves her son” so much. Ms. Srining replied with great emphasis.

Meanwhile, Randi is still driving a car in search of his wife. His eyes were very observant scanning every corner of the streets of Surabaya. His mind was chaotic, his heart was fragile, his hair and clothes were shabby as if not the Randi people usually knew.

The day was getting late, the sky began to fight to lower its rain troops, flushing the dense city of Surabaya. It was as if nature was crying too seeing two people who love each other being hurt.

Randi drives his car in any direction, only limited to relying on existing filing. Hope the creator is not angry with him, because it has injured one of the angels of his creation.

He began searching in the bakery owned by Tari, hoping there would find his wife, but unfortunately the results were nil. Dance is not there, even all the shopkeepers say that since this morning Dance has not come here.

He left the store in frustration, now Randi chose to go home for a moment in the hope that his wife and child were already home. Randi runs his car at full speed splitting the congested streets decorated with rain groans. Arriving at home he parked his car with the origin in the yard of the house, his legs immediately sauntered in and look for the whereabouts of Dance.

Randi hopes to find and hug his wife in there. His steps were getting faster when he was on the doorstep of his house.

“What Dance has come home?”. Ask the Papa who is standing in the doorway.

Mr. Nario just shook his head.

“Yes God where is my wife?”.

“Do not punish me by having to lose him, I love him very much Yes Rab”. Her cry grew more and more, Randi was really fragile helplessly. He hurt but he was also hurt in this situation.

Ms. Srining couldn't see her son being hurt like that. He took an umbrella and walked over to his son. Randi was silent regardless of the mother, he just stared at the glance of Ms. Srining, then he went back before Ms. Srining had given him an umbrella.

Now Randi runs his car back to the hospital, not to visit Roses and his son. Randi will look for Dance in the nursery of Fitri's child. In the depths of his heart, Randi really hopes to find the figure of Dance there.

She ventured to knock one of the rooms, realizing the arrival of her brother Fitri rushed to meet Randi and asked her husband to look after Arsya.

“Fit, do you know where Dance and Risma are currently?”. The voice of raucous and sad so fixed was heard from Randi's tone.

“I don't know Mas Randi, who I knew this morning Dari came out of this hospital in tears. I've never seen my best friend this sad before. My heart is very sad to see him have to cry like last”.

Randi kemabli is down, though,

“Badahat Mas Randi and Tari just got married six years ago, only six years there are some friends and people I know, and I know, they have been more than ten years unmarried but still remain loyal to their partner”.

“From a fine woman, she never hurts people. But why would Mas Randi hurt her like this?, Dance was never happy in her life, she was always the backbone of the family and was used by her family, she said, after getting married to Mas Randi his life began to change and get better. He was starting to be happy, but why did Mas Randi tear up his happiness?”.

“Really Fit, this is not my hope, this is not what I want. I never wanted to be in a position like this. I was very forced”. Lirih Randi with a fragile.

“You cry Mas?”. Tanya Fitri who began to look at Randi's face, since earlier he was reluctant to look at Randi's face. Not only Tari, Fitri was also disappointed with the decision he chose his brother.

Randi did not answer, he just left Fitri with many questions that perched in his head.

Now Randi is running his car again, he sits in the driver's seat and is silent for a while.

“Yes Allah I have to find out where my wife is?”.

“Was he at his mother's house?”, somewhere that perched on Randi's head.

Randi again grabbed the phone in his pants pocket and called his wife back. Unfortunately, the result is still the same. Dance's phone hasn't been active since this morning.

Now he is back to run his car, Randi will go to the house of Mother Dance, big hope to find her there. All the bad possibilities he has prepared including if later his mother-in-law will be angry and wrathful to him.
