What is my fault, sir?

What is my fault, sir?
Esih



Spontaneous Abah and Alfian turned around to see a woman calling out to him. A woman who is generally about thirty years more in uniform restaurant employees. The face is not foreign to Abah but Alfian and Rania do not know him.


"Just ...!"


Esih Suprihatin immediately grabbed Abah's hand and kissed the back of her hand many times, "I'm sorry Esih, Father .. once again forgive Esih," he said with tears.


"Bang ... Neng Rani, this is the daughter of Abah's second ex-wife."


"Oooo ...!" Alfian and Rania extended their hands to shake hands in turn while smiling.


"It's best to talk while sitting down, Abah!" rania's orders.


"Let's just get out of the restaurant!" bring Alfian.


The four of them exited the restaurant and sat in the long chair that was near the security post. Alfian and Rania sat on the sidelines letting Abah and Esih to speak together. The two of them only listened to the conversation between Abah and Esih.


"What happened Esih, where is your mother?"


"Mom died ten years ago, Dad."


"Innalilahi wa inna ilaihi rojiun."


"Is your mother sick?"


"My mom and husband had an accident, Dad." Esih cried again after answering Abah's question.


"What happened try to tell me about Dad?"


Esih said after two years free from prison, work and become a laborer in a company. One year later she married a company friend. Initially the household is harmonious and happy when Kokom's mother contracts alone and does not live one house.


The disaster came when Esih was pregnant young and mother joined a contract with him again. Husband Esih began to play with Mother secretly. The forbidden relationship was until his son was born.


Their relationship began to smell after Esih finished puerperium. Her husband does not want to have sex with her. Initially for various reasons and still not willing to give an inner living to his wife.


Their forbidden relationship begins to smell when Esih sees her husband by accident. Esih was allowed to go home from work half a day because she was sick, her husband worked siff nights and lived in a house of three with his son. Esih saw her son crying alone in the living room.


Esih entered the house by pushing the door along with her husband who came out of the mother's room bare-chested while raising her trousers. When asked the two did not confess and reasoned to finish fixing the dead light bulb in the mother's room. Though clearly Esih saw that mother also just fixed her negligent clothes and messy hair.


Since then the relationship between Esih and his mother has been strained. She fights with her husband all the time. And his son was forced to leave his neighbors while working.


Many friends and neighbors also told about the forbidden relationship between the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law. The more days their relationship gets closer and more intimate. They began to blatantly and were no longer ashamed to admit the forbidden relationship.


Until one day Esih drove them out of the contract after catching them in one room at three in the morning. Mother and husband's clothes and belongings were thrown that night out of contract. Esih was furious even though they apologized and did not want to be kicked out of the contract.


One week after the expulsion, Esih learned that her husband and mother had died. They had a single accident falling on a gorge twenty meters deep. On the way back to the village by motorbike.


The motor is in high speed and suddenly the brakes blong so that the motor enters the abyss. The second died on the spot, the bike was broken into three parts. Evacuation of the bodies takes all day because of the terrain that is just the edge of the forest.


There was a sense of relief after Esih finished telling the story, "Esih is looking for Dad for almost ten years now. Esih just wanted to apologize."


"Dad has forgiven Esih long ago."


"Esih has gained karma for following Mother's wrong path. Again forgive Esih, Father."


"Yes Esih, I'm sorry too. Now where's your son, how old are you now?"


Esih smiled considering the encouragement of her life was now just her son. He opened his old cell phone showing the boy in the scout uniform, "This is the grandson of his father who is only ten years old now in the fourth grade of Elementary School."


"What's his name?"


"His name is Raffa Ramadan."


Esih back to tell the story has moved around to find Abah in the area around Jakarta. His intention was simply to apologize for his past mistakes. I worked at this restaurant for almost a year. Rent a one-door rental near Raffa school.


Until now Esih did not remarry, only living alone with his son. Although there are those who invite household but Esih prefers to live alone. A deep sense of trauma that makes Esih more do not want to marry again.


"All has passed, the important thing is that now Esih makes a living for Raffa in a lawful way" Abah advised.


"Good Dad ... Esih no longer wants to live like the late mother, Esih has been converted and no longer wants to do the wrong thing as before."


"Father saying goodbye first, next time I'll stop by here after Dad's business is done."


"Yes Esih will also work again, next time I have to see Raffa, Raffa will be very happy."


Alfian who had listened to the story of stepbrother of Mami Mitha felt pity. A very difficult struggle was experienced by him in the past. Alfian only imagined Raffa who was the same age as him when he could meet Papi Alfarizi.


The gratitude in Alfian's heart could still feel complete affection with the two elders. Moreover, having a sister Elfa who is very loved. While Raffa was no longer able to feel the affection of his biological father.


Before muttering Alfian took a wallet and took out five pieces of money with the picture of Soekarno and Mohamad Hatta."Aunt ... please give this to Raffa, greetings from Abang Alfian son of Mami Mitha."


"Yes thank you ... Brother Al is a grown up now."


"Together, Aunt. Excuse me first."


They continued the journey to Bekasi while telling about Esih and his mother. It also tells the story of Abah's life after Rania was with him. Joking and occasionally Alfian seduced his wife.


Without feeling the trip to Bekasi coincides Papi Alfarizi and Mami MItha returned home from the office. Alfian car directly parked in the yard after being opened by security. Mami Mitha and Papi Alfarizi instantly smiled seeing his son come and wait for him from the car.


Mami Mitha's eyes widened as Alfian got down from the car. He followed two people who got off the car after Alfian. There was an old man who was no stranger to Mami Mitha. There was also a beautiful girl standing up and holding the hand of an old man.


"Dad ... You came here to show off your new wife again?" mami Mitha asked involuntarily.


"Mommy ...?"
