"With this, the Son's brother was found guilty and sentenced to three years and four months in prison. Thank you,"
Geck! Geck!
The judge knocked the hammer. Along the bowed Son lethargic in the sickly chair. Tears fell on his cheeks. He glanced at Anton who sat in the line of prosecutors, with his sharp. It seems that Anton has not been satisfied with the decision given by the Judge. But how else, a decision is a decision, and must be appreciated and received well. At least the one who had broken his baby would be in prison to make amends for what he had done to Alia.
The son got out of his chair, assisted by some officers who would take him to another room, to wait for a car that would drive him back to the Detention House. Seemed amused and abah accompanied the Son with tears that continue to pour. The heart of which parent is not broken seeing his or her baby will be in jail for that long.
"Propay for jang..." Say ambigu, while the cheek of the head of the Son who has now sat in the waiting room.
The son was silent, only able to stare at the tear that kept flowing on the cheek of the mother.
"Road, at the same time reflect on the mistakes and live in there. Think of it as a process of self-maturity, jang..." Abah.
"Don't forget to pray jang.. Tuha is unlikely to give way like this, without any intention. You tea must learn, when something has a cause." Keep abah again.
The son bowed to hear the words of Abah.
He spent three months in the Detention House, before the verdict. He kept asking about life, why he could get to the point of destruction. Unlike Banyu, whose life is impressed without problems and increasingly happy, according to stories from both parents.
The son often asked his parents to tell him how the household Banyu and Tasya, each of his parents visited him at the Prisoner House. At first, he often felt jealous and angry, hearing stories about his biological brother who married the woman he once loved. The more he came here, he began to feel sincere with the life he had to live, as well as with stories about the happiness of Banyu and Tasya.
Gradually the Son began to be wrought about maturity in life. He's staring a lot in his cell. Even with the stories of other inmates who often exchange life experiences with him. The conclusion is, there is no one who is never wrong. Everyone is guilty and if a fatal mistake, will result in someone being sentenced to prison.
But there was one thing that stuck in the Son's heart, as long as the trial or legal process went, he never met Alia. He can only see the figure of Anton and his lawyer who continues to be present in every process, without even being absent. "Where's Alia?" he asked in his heart.
"Brother Son, on his return to custody." Said a warden who accompanied him to attend the decision hearing.
The son moved from his seat, staring at his parents who had to be willing to release himself to make amends. Then he had a brother and an ambu who continued to cry over the fate of their favorite child.
"Change, ambu. I go first. Pray for me bah, ambu..." Putra Saying. Then he kissed the backs of his parents' hands.
Abah and Ambu can only nod and release the Son with sincerity.
"Oh yes, greetings to a'a and Tasya. Tell them, if I'm so grateful for his help. Be it the lawyer, the food, the cake Tasya gave me, and the things I needed while in custody. They are good people. Tell them too, if I apologize for all the mistakes I have made. Also....
The son fell silent, remembering the figure of the little boy who continued to haunt him, namely Rafis. He loved the little boy very much, without hypocrisy. His love for rafis is true without being made up because he wants to get close to Tasya. Until now, his love for Rafis has never been extinguished. He already considers Rafis as his own biological child.
"Also what is jang?" Ask ambu curious.
"Send my regards to Rafis. May he grow up with a good heart. Tell him too when Papa Putra misses him so much." Tears spilled on the cheeks of the Son who looked sunken. Yes, the man lost a lot of weight. What was once his body seemed proportional, but now looks very thin and unkempt.
"Yes jang, I'll tell Rafis."
"Bilanh is also the same Rafis, diligent in learning. Don't let me not go to class." Connect the Son with the end of the choked voice.
"Yes jang.." Suhut ambu again.
"Yes, I say yes ambu abah. Assalamu'alaikum."
"Goddessalam.."
The son also moved from before his parents. Weeping from both sides. Unwillingness enveloped the separation. But what power, everything must be passed with a heart that inevitably has to be sincere.
"Mom, sir. monggo I'll take you home" said Banyu's lawyer.
"Yes, son.." Abah and Ambu followed the lawyer's footsteps to the parking lot.
"He's got a three-year sentence."
Alia was silent to the news she had just heard from Anton, by phone.
"May you be satisfied, and be well there with your mama.." Said Anton again.
"Yes pa." Sahut Alia's.
The call is over. Alia was silent on the park bench of a campus in Switzerland. Alia was already a student at the college. After he was declared cured, he decided to enroll in the University in the country and turned out to be accepted at one of the campuses there. From then on, he began to be busy preparing all his needs to move to the country accompanied by Devonna, his mother.
Exactly one and a half months after this matter passed, he flew to the country. And started to get busy with his new surroundings. Without realizing it, he was late for the moon. At first he thought he was just stressed, because there were a lot of problems. Turns out he was wrong, until stepping on the third month, he did not also come to the moon.
Alia ventured to buy a pregnancy test kit at the pharmacy and tried to find out the truth while she was in the campus bathroom. But reality hit him. Two red lines are seen so clearly in the pregnancy test. Yes, she is pregnant with the fruits of her love with the man who is now in prison. Alia sits limp on top of the closet. He was only able to cry without a sound, this morning.
Alia got up from her seat and stepped towards the car that had just arrived. Devonna waved to herself from inside the car.
"How was your day at college?" Devonna asked with a very excited look. But not with Alia who looks more silent when entering the car.
"Alias.. Are you ok?" Ask Devonna again.
Alia looked at her mama with tears beginning to expand in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Devonna looks start to worry when she sees tears that begin to drip on Alia's cheeks.
"Have you heard of the punishment for that man?"
Alia flinched, which made Devonna even more worried about her.
"Alia.. tell me.. what's wrong baby?"
Alia looked at Devonna carefully, then she took out the pregnancy test kit from her bag. Devonna stared at the device and hesitantly grabbed it and looked at it closely.
"Oh.. Alia.." Devonna immediately hugged Alia who started crying sobbing.
"Don't worry about my mom here."
"But what about this kid?" Alia asked in between her cries.
"What do you want? Mama will follow."
Alia let go of her embrace, and looked at Devonna closely.
"Should I throw it away? But he is my son. She grew up in my womb.."
"Come on Alia, here is free to have an abortion if we consult with the doctor first. We have a reason, if the child you bear is the child of someone you don't want."
"But ma..."
"Alia.. What do you want? Taking care of this baby? What about your college?"
Alia was speechless, she was quite depressed at this moment.
"We better go to the doctor." Devonna said as she drove off her car.
Alia was just silent, what an inner war for her to decide on two options, continue or let go of the child she was carrying.
