THREE MEN FROM THE VILLAGE

TPDD 62 (Jamal)

You're your papah's cheating son, Selin."

"Sandra!" Jerky Gustavo.

"What!" reply Sandra did not lose loudly. What else are you going to cover, Gustavo Romanov!"

While Selin pecked with a face full of surprise. Selin's chest was so claustrophobic hearing the reality from Sandra's mouth. Is this true? Is all this real? If it is true, why? Why is this happening? And why is this reality so painful?

"Do you think you're lying about this too, son? Ask papahmu? Tanya?"

Selin turned to look at the papah with a raging feeling. While Gustavo silenced, staring nanar to his son.

"What Mamah said is not true, Pah? Mom lied, right?" selin asked and hoped that her papa would answer according to what she expected.

"I'm sorry Papah, son." That was the only answer Gustavo could give. The answer that confirms what Sandra said is true. Selin collapsed. He sat on the floor feeling devastated.

Gustovo lowered his head and crouched down. He turned to the secretary and asked her to come out. Then he looked back at the boy who was sobbing. On the door of the child's hair with great affection.

While on the other side. Sandra also chose to sit on the sofa. His feelings were no less broken either. He also did not want to be in this situation. But circumstances forced Sandra to act like a cruel woman.

"How can you, Pah? How can I be papah's cheating son?" ask Selin lirih. His heart really hurt with the reality he just heard. Gustavo was silent. He himself was confused to explain.

"You know Selin, your feelings are also broken. Mama is sick to say it. It's the same as opening a mama's wound that has been mamaah pendam very long" said Sandra with a trembling tone. "If you're ready to listen, you'll tell me everything, son?"

"Speak, Mah. Selin was ready to hear it. Tell everything!" selin's orders were among her sobs. While Gustavo looked at his son with an increasingly pias face.

"Well, if that's what you want, son. Mamah will tell you everything." said Sandra.

Moments after harshly blowing her breath and solidifying her heart to be strong, Sandra began to tell stories. Sandra is indeed an imperfect woman, two years married, she was sentenced to barrenness. The verdict was obviously painful and shattered Sandra's feelings and dreams. But even more painful was the incident after the verdict came a month later. Gustavo came home from out of town with a two-week-old baby. The baby lost its mother who died after giving birth. How could one month after the barren verdict, Gustavo come with a baby?

"You can imagine how painful it is when you hear the fact that the baby is your papah child with his love. Even cruelly your papah asked me to take care of the baby. That moment my feelings were shattered, Sel. The feeling of mamah is destroyed." said Sandra accompanied by sobs that sounded very sad.

Selin was more and more stunned while Gustavo, he sat down, his head lowered, his legs bent, his palms piled up behind his head. I don't know what Gustavo is feeling right now, which must seem frustrating.

"Your father said he would change. He regretted everything. Honestly, I was very heavy at first to take care of the baby. Which woman would care for her husband's cheating son? But Mom is aware, Sel. The baby is innocent. A baby who does not ask to be born from the wrong relationship. Mama is harboring the pain of mama. Mom slowly accepted the baby. Mom gave love and everything to the baby. But what's your papah doing, son? He's back on his feet, he's back on his cheats. Even at the age of the baby stepped on after 10 years, mamah almost repeated the same incident. Mamah is asked to take care of another child of infidelity, is that not crazy? Is that not cruel? Now you think, who is cruel? Mom or papah?" Sandra cried awkwardly to vent her pain that she had been pending. And Selin was increasingly shocked to hear the continuation of Sandra's bitter story.

"The baby is you, son. Innocent and Mamah baby with a hard struggle against ego and heartache to accept you and love like a mother child himself." continued Sandra.

Selin digested everything he heard. A reality so painful. Truly Selin did not expect, his mother actually endured her pain for many years.

"What for the sake of returning papah, mamah chose to play crazy with other men including mamah playing crazy with Rio?"
