A Place to Return
where to return *5
Anggie Flasback
"But, what have you done? Who are they Papi?" mama said when she saw a woman of Mama's age and also a daughter who was the same age as Anggie standing next to Papi.
"Can we sit down first Ma?" papi offered to talk while sitting down.
"Sitting is an easy problem, Papi. But answer who they are" Mama repeated asking Papi to say who the two women who came with Papi to the mansion were.
Anggie who had just returned from campus stood in front of the door of their luxurious mansion. Anggie was very surprised when she heard Mama's voice saying about her being the woman inside the mansion and standing right beside Papi. Anggie wants to hear everything. So he chose not to go inside, but just stood behind the mansion's door. Anggie wanted to hear what Papi was going to say to Mama about the two people who came along with Papi.
"They are our family Mama. The status is the same as Mama and Anggie" Papi said answering questions from Mama. Papi answered with an answer that must be re-digested by Mama.
"meaning?" asked Mama who was surprised by what Papi said.
"Sit down first Ma. Papi will explain." said Papi invites Mama to sit down and talk with a cool head about who is being brought by Papi to their mansion.
"From that moment, sit down. Might talk even while standing" said Mama who did not accept the reason for sitting given by Papi to him.
"Ma, Papi please we have to talk while sitting down" said Papi spoke very softly to Mama. Papi doesn't want to when they talk later Mama to be shocked and fall. Papi invited them to talk while sitting down. So, Papi can anticipate what will happen.
"Okay we sit down" said Mama who agreed with Papi's orders. Actually, Mama still does not want to obey. But Mama wanted to quickly know who the two people Papi brought before her at this moment.
Mama sitting with a chest that has been rumbling, mama needs an explanation from Papi what is really and who is the person brought by Papi in front of mama at this time.
"Who are they Pi?" my mother asked me the same question again.
"Before Papi apologized to Mama for keeping this mistake for too long" said Papi began to open a conversation between himself and Mama about what was asked by Mama to him.
"What Pi? Explain" Mama said with emotion.
She is trying to stabilize her emotions at the moment. Mama's chest had already rumbled to throw a harsh word, but she couldn't possibly say that. Mama is still thinking about her own self-worth as well as Papi's self-esteem. So as bitter as what will be said by Papi later, Mama will try to accept with a tough and will not dispute anything. Good bad that will be delivered by Papi later mama will accept everything.
"Woman who is a little the same age as Mama her name is Rina. While the young woman who is the same age as our child is Kayla" said Papa mentioned the names of the two people who are now with him.
Papi looked at Mama. Papi knew that what he would say in a moment would hurt the woman who had accompanied his life for decades. But everything should be taken the same Papi. It was already a risk when Papi decided to tell me what happened exactly. So, whatever it is, Papi must be prepared with all the risks that will be waiting for Papi in front when Papi finishes telling Mama everything.
"Mama, they are both our other families" Papi said, answering the question that Mama asked next.
Mama did not understand what Papi said to her. Mama wants Papi to say it more clearly.
"Say the obvious Papi. Who they are" said Mama who is already very emotional. My mom really doesn't want any more tolerance. For my mother, it was enough. I don't want to look like a fool anymore.
Anggie who could no longer hear everything behind the door went straight into the mansion. Anggie walked to the fourth seat of the noisy man. Actually more precisely the storm was only two people but the cause of the commotion the two people were two people who were sitting comfortably on a long sofa.
"Mama, it seems like the man is not too manly to admit everything he has done. I'll explain to Mama what she's done to both of us" Anggie said with a smile on his face toward Papa. The cynical smile of a child who had known what the person he admired so much had done.
"But before Anggie told him what was really going on, Anggie wanted to say one thing to this man" Anggie said, pointing at Papi.
"Anggie keep your attitude Anggie" Mama told Anggie.
"Mama, it's not Anggie who should take care of Mama's attitude. But he should have kept his attitude." Anggie said with emotion. Anggie's eyes look like the eyes of a wounded child in the treatment of his parents.
"Sorry before, I'll admit something. From birth I always idolized you to be my idol. Someone I most want to emulate. At least for the criteria to be my husband" said Anggie explained what is in his heart at this time.
"But when I found out what you've done out there it makes me very sorry why I was born in this world with a Papi like you" Anggie continued.
Plaque a very hard slap landed perfectly on Anggie's smooth cheek. Anggie fell silent and looked at Mama. Mama had slapped herself for cursing Papi right in front of the two people who were near them at this time.
"See what you say Anggie. You are the son of the man you maki earlier" said Mama who did not expect Anggie will say something that makes Mama surprised by the change in attitude Anggie.
"Mama, can this guy Anggie respect again? Mama must know how respectful Anggie has been to this guy all this time?" anggie said furiously.
"But since Anggie knows what he's doing behind both of us, I'm sorry Anggie's mom doesn't respect him at all anymore. For Anggie he's been gone since Anggie knew everything" Anggie said angrily. Anggie's really upset right now. The man was in front of him at this moment with a knotty smile
