Jimmy picked up his phone and brought it closer to Rita. Rita immediately put her sense of hearing well until the sound was complete.
''I don't know where they got the information from and from whom.'' Rita said after she finished hearing the recording.
''Is the story true?'' ask Jimmy.
Rita was silent, she stared at Jimmy at a glance. Then he looked down deeply and breathed. He shouldn't have to shed any more tears, but the clear circle was flowing without command.
''Okay, no papa, just continue crying. If you are relieved, tell me everything.''
After Jimmy waited, Rita was finally willing to tell him what was on the tape. With the addition of a heartbreaking story.
''I was adopted as a baby. My biological parents also do not know where the clarity is. My adoptive parents had been married for several years, but had not been given any children, and from medical examinations, my father did have a hard time with it. They finally decided to adopt me. That's what my mother told me when I was a teenager.'' explained Rita then smiled bitterly imagine the story.
''But, it turns out that their marriage is not lasting. My mom and dad divorced when I was in school. Because your family always blames you from any point of view. They want you to have a biological child, not just care for an unblooded foster child. Father and mother have actually three times tried tube baby programs, but always have not succeeded. Finally I gave up and could not bear the painful voices of my family.''
Rita stared at the window with a smile, imagining the good times of having a complete parent, even if not a biological parent.
''After two years of officially divorcing, Mama remarried the son of her business partner. Not long after, my mother got pregnant. I am very happy that I will have a sister, which means I will have friends. My mom got pregnant again and I had two sisters. They're women and men. They are very beautiful and handsome, his skin is also white like mama.'' explained Rita.
''After we were both big. My sister who was a teenager. What influenced his mind. He couldn't accept me there. He just wants to be alone with his sister. Moreover, with a facial line that bore no resemblance at all, he frankly said shamefully, he also did not want me to receive the same legacy as him.''
Rita was silent with both eyes closed.
''I never thought of asking them for inheritance.''
''The house used to be bought by my father and mother while still together, and became the right of my mother. Now made a memento for me, as a parting gift we are no longer family members.''
Sometimes Rita tells stories by wiping her tears. He also continuously breathed so as not to stammer in speaking.
''People there may also not know that your husband is different. Because the house had not been occupied long ago. The last few years, we had lived together there, but, not long because of the dispute with my sisters was getting run over.''
Rita smiled and looked at Jimmy.
''I have never hated them, Sir. After all, those parents who loved me from me were babies. Papa was new too, he received the mama who had brought me. They all provide affection, facilities, and happiness like parents to their daughters. I also miss our younger siblings when we were kids, we used to play together.''
''Yes, although if you remember again, they did change when I had a biological child, I was insensitive.''
''I am well aware of this position. I am also confused about myself. Why grieve until it drags on like this. I continue to blame myself for not knowing myself.''
Not a word Jimmy wants to cut Rita's sentence. He was still ready to be a listener until the girl had finished herself.
''Sorry, Mister. I've spoken beyond the limit. Very boring certainly.'' said Rita who then sighed in relief.
''It's done?'' reply Jimmy.
Rita nodded. ''Yes, looks like it's been.''
''It's plong taste?'' ask Jimmy.
''I think it's better. I'm relieved to have brought out what I've been doing all this time.''
Jimmy smiled at Rita's same smile and cry.
''Thank God.'' said Jimmy.
Rita who was still sitting on the bed was clasping her hands together firmly. He wanted to hug and say thank you. But when Jimmy stood up and patted him on the shoulder made Rita refrain from going overboard.
''Thank you very much, sir. Thank you, said Rita.
Jimmy nodded.
After consulting with doctors and psychiatrists this afternoon. Rita decided to return home first. He is not ready for surgery. He wants to finish work that was delayed because of his retirement.
Jimmy closed the gate of Rita's house. Then get into his car that is waiting. I don't think he spent time in the hospital. It was time to go back to the apartment to rest. Preparing himself for his usual activities with Edgar Raymond.
