“Pah, is it true we are looking around here?” ask Sinta
“Iya mah, not mamah himself who said” replied Aryo
Sinta and Aryo come to a place that was once Fandi's men throw away Sinta and Aryo's children.
“But it seems like here there is no mah house but at the end there is a hut what is possible there is a person?” ask Aryo
“We try to ask there mah, maybe he knows about the incident 26 years ago”
“Hopefully yes mah, the incident was very long and maybe they will not remember” Aryo drowned hope drowning like nothing
“We try first the reward, if not try it how we can know” proposed Sinta
Aryo nodded and followed Sinta to go to a house that was like a hut because it had not been fixed for a long time.
Sinta also felt the same way, but she would not know before trying it. Although later the results will make his heart broken at least he knows the state of his daughter is clear, how the result Sinta gave everything to the power.
Lie if he does not feel sadness, but how else he does not want to live with the shadow of his daughter who is not clear where. Sinta hopes she can still meet her son and go through a happy life.
“Assalamualaikum” says Sinta and Aryo together
A few minutes later, a woman came out of the house.
“Waalaikumsalam” answer “Bapak and mom who yes?” tanyanya was confused
“I Sinta and this is my husband Aryo, previously I apologize for disturbing” said Sinta
“It's okay ma'am, let's sit. Sorry the place is so good” said
“It's okay, oh yes your name is who?”
“Call just Tia bu”
“Oh yes Tia, you live alone?”
Sinta looked around her, the woman in front of her was young so there was no way she could live alone here.
“No ma'am, I live with my grandmother happens to be grandma is out for a while but soon will be home”
Hearing Tia's reply, Aryo and Sinta nodded in understanding.
“Sorry mom, indeed mom and dad have a purpose to come here?”
“Actually our destination just wanted to ask you something, but it happened long enough and chances are you don't know so may we wait for your grandmother?”
“Of course can be bu, but may I know in advance”
“So here, my husband and I are looking for my son who went missing 26 years ago and according to information the last place is around here, so we came to this place and saw your house so we came here to ask who knows remember and know with the incident”
“Kalo I never knew with the incident ma'am, and I was also not born. But I had heard that story when grandma was talking to the mother of the parlour and asked for a baby, but I don't know for sure”
As soon as Sinta and Aryo looked at each other, they seemed like they would find the answer.
“Maybe we better ask your grandmother, it looks like your grandmother will know the incident”
“We will wait” Sinta and Aryo decided to wait to find out the answer
Almost half an hour Sinta and Aryo waited while enjoying the dishes given by Tia.
“Assalamualaikum, Tia” call grandma
Sinta, Aryo and Tia turned their heads and looked at the old woman who was using a cane. His skin was wrinkled and his hair was no longer white.
“Waalaikumsalam net, here sit. This there guest” obviously Ti
“Tuest?” repeat the grandmother
“Iya grandma, they're waiting for grandma from earlier. Tumben grandma home late”
“Yes, grandma had bought something first, oh yes what are you waiting for me? Do I know you?” ask grandma with a confused face
“Include mom, my name is Sinta and this is my husband Aryo. We already explained our arrival to Tia, our arrival just wanted to ask about the events that happened 26 years ago about a baby that was dumped by someone, he said, the baby was our baby” Sinta tried to explain calmly but she suddenly cried helplessly considering the incident 26 years ago, when he was separated from the child until now who did not know what the news was like
Aryo hugged Sinta gave strength, feeling Sinta could no longer continue his words Aryo immediately replaced him.
“Our baby was dumped by someone, we had looked for it but did not find it until we found out that they threw it here and we came straight here to ask it maybe I know about it” continued Aryo
Aryo deliberately did not tell that the one who threw away their baby was his grandfather, just enough he closed the wound. Fandi is also calm there so Aryo does not want to remember everything again, let it all be stored and do not need to be remembered again.
“Bay?” grandma tried to remember
His mind glared far to be able to remember the incident, it is undeniable that the incident was indeed very long and likely people will forget, especially with the tragedy of the discovery of the baby.
“Baby chick” says grandma
Aryo and Sinta instantly looked at grandma and nodded at the same time.
“Iya nek, our baby girl what grandma remembers, where my baby nek. Bring it here I have missed it so much” said Sinta
“Mah patiently, we first listen to what grandma ya” Aryo wants to say to calm Sinta so as not to rush, so that she does not rush, she also wants the baby but Aryo must know the story so that she knows where their child is now.
“Iya I remember a little once found a baby girl”
