This afternoon I went home by myself because Hanan's work was still not finished. I rarely get to go home with Hanan if I go in the morning sif.
The weather today looks dark. Looks like it's going to rain. Many black clouds covered the sun this afternoon. It seems to have entered the rainy season because it has often rained suddenly.
I walked down the sidewalk to my house and was alone. The streets today are so quiet there are rarely pedestrians at this hour.
But there was someone who forced my hand violently and turned me back.
"Yumna?" I was shocked to see Yumna silently following from behind.
"Why don't you like me coming? I just want to know what kind of woman Ka Hanan loves, it's not far from the garbage of society." Yumna was so cynical looking at me sharply full of vengeance.
"You why are you so rude to me Yumna? I have what's wrong with you? If I have anything wrong, I apologize profusely. I don't want to find enemies." I asked surprised at Yumna's attitude which was so visibly angry at me.
"Ka Adel turned out to be a really rotten loe-heart huh Ka?" Yumna continued to speak in a high tone to me. I don't know why I suddenly said that.
"What mean? What makes you this angry? Please tell me let me fix my mistake."
"Udah deh do not put on the face of a pretentious Ka. I know the rotten nature of Loe Ka."
"What kind of rotten nature does Yumnaa mean?" I was further confused by Yumna's attitude.
"Loe is already pregnant out of wedlock now selling herself again, oh my god so kasian Ka Hanan kasian really could-can he deket same brothel** kayak loe ka. Loe it doesn't pantes dapet men as good as Ka Hanan. You better not deketin Ka Hanan again." Yumna pointed her index finger at me with perfectly round eyes. I still don't understand what Yumna says but she's too bad to say I'm a prostitute**.
Plaakkk
One slap successfully landed on Yumna's cheek. Yumna's cheek turned red from my slap. His speech had already exceeded the limit. I can't hold my hand.
"Take your mouth Yumna. You don't even know the real thing. Don't infer what you just heard without you knowing what happened. I'm not human like you accuse me of. What is your worth to Hanan? Even you rudely insulted me."
"Heh Ka who should be guarded is your body Ka. And you will get balesan because you slapped my cheek. Inget ya I won't accept this slap at all. Wait for my revenge. I'm gonna make loe nyesel already face my cheek."
Yumna also left. I'm sure he holds a grudge against me. But I don't give a shit. Too often I have accepted such insults. It's just that sometimes there's a deep regret in this heart.
"God did I wrong Yumna until she said something so dirty. Do I deserve that from him. Why did he suddenly call me a prostitute*didn't you know I never sold my body."
My tears fell along with the coming of the spatter. It was as if the sky was supporting me to cry at that moment. I want to scream so hard. But I can't. Just tightness in the chest I think.
I don't care about this rain. I'm just wondering why so many people hate me. What's my fault with them. Isn't this all a fate that has been set. But is this fate not too cruel to me.
"God what more trials are you going to give this dirty girl? I don't even know what to call myself now."
My clothes started to get wet because I just fell silent without movement. I woke up from my daydream and the rain started to fall. I decided to take shelter at a bus stop. Just alone. I was a little nervous and scared. I remember when it rained with Zaki at the bus stop first. With the same mood. The memories were straight out of my mind.
I rubbed my palms together to warm my body. Suddenly a car stopped in front of me. The car door was open. Someone inside her nods her head to tell me to get in her car.
That is Zaki. Zaki Alamshah. The man who slept with me until we had a daughter. The man who just crossed my mind why was suddenly in front of me right now.
I got in his car too. The car didn't run. Zaki was just staring straight ahead.
"What else is it? Didn't I tell you not to bother me anymore?" Ask me to start a conversation she never started.
"Del can we start all over again?" Zaki was still staring straight ahead.
"Start what?" Ask me back.
"Our relationship Del?" Zaki looked at me.
"Since when have we had a relationship?" Answer me.
"Del I beg you to let me take care and look after you." Zaki held my hand.
"Who do you mean?"
"You people! Of course you're mom and our daughter Del."
"Aren't you just going to obey what Papah said to you Zak?" I let go of his hand.
"Gue mrs Del. Now Papah is in a coma but surely Papah will also be happy to see his grandson. Please Del I want to start over. Start everything with our son."
Zaki just kept begging me. In my little heart I really wanted to live together, with our son because I knew Misela would need Papa. But he hurt me, even our son. He just left me.
"Gue wants to see our son Del. I don't know whether our son is a boy or a girl. And what's Del's name? I beg Del please please please please!"
"Not now. I'm not ready."
"Del please don't separate the relationship between the child and his Papa. loe don't be selfish Del. Cassian's our son."
"I told you not to now."
"Dell."
"Denger ya Zak I didn't try to separate you but you were the one who stayed away from us. And that selfish you Zak is not me. I've been dying to hold on for my son. Now you suddenly show up and say you want to start over? Huh uh?" I was determined to Zaki who was constantly blaming me.
"Del I beg you?" Zaki was still whining.
"Please don't now I say not now. And stop begging." I shouted
"Del Loe still loves me? Loe still loves me isn't Del the same?"
Zaki asked a stupid question. Although I justify it but for me there is no need to answer.
My eyes are round because my lips are warmed by it. Without excuse, Zaki opened up the past that I had begun to forget.
"No. This can't happen again."
I pushed Zaki's body violently. Sontak surprised Zaki.
"Why Del?"
"What the hell are you, Zak? Don't you think you ruined my life and now you still dare to kiss me? Don't you have the brain to think? If you insist I will really make you never see your daughter again. Inget never disturb the life that I have worked so hard to build. Never do anything silly like that."
I rushed out of Zaki's car and ran as hard as I could.
Arriving home.
"Mom.... Adel returns assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam Loh kok wet-wet anyway what will catch the wind?"
"Adel take a shower first, ma'am."
Without staring and greeting Misela I rushed towards the bathroom. I don't want you to know that I just cried.
After the shower I held my son. And take her to the room.
"Adel wants to rest first, Mom. Please don't bother us."
"You why? I asked my mother because I saw something was wrong with my behavior.
"Papa Bu Adel is just tired. Adel's gonna rest in the room."
I closed and locked the door to my room.
I lay Misela in bed. Stare at him with tears.
"Son't your Papa met Mommy even your Papa kissed Mommy Nak? What should Mother do now? Though you already have a Papi who loves you Nak but why your Papa even appears suddenly like this Hiks hyks...!"

The afternoon has changed into a cold and quiet night because the rain still leaves the water stub.
But from behind the door there was someone who said hello.
"Assalamu'alaikum."
A man. I know it must be Hanan.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" I answered while opening the door.
"Hallo dear Papi came to play with you." Hanan rubbed the cheek of Misela.
"The rain is like this why did you come here anyway?" Ask me while giving Misela to Hanan.
"So, I miss the same kid Papi."
"Tumben's cousin isn't coming?"
"Yes He's got group work. He will soon be taking his exam. Be busy studying."
"Oh yes. What do you want to drink, Nan?"
"What is the origin that made Mother. Isn't that Nak?"
I went to the kitchen to make Hanan drink.
"Is Hanan Del?" Ask the mother who was cleaning Misela's clothes.
"Yes Mom. Adel make an angel tea."
"That's over there the same sugar tea."
"Yes, Mom."
When I finished I went back to the living room. Looking at Hanan who was chatting with Misela.
"Am I cruel to Nan? Do I have to rely on you. Can I be both a good wife to you and a good mother to my child?"
The night passed. Hanan who saw Misela had slept soundly decided to go home.
"Tomorrow Papi here again. Anak Papi sleep soundly do not make Mother bother ya daahh dear..." Hanan said it out loud because she was afraid to wake baby Misela.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow." Hanan gave a showy smile with dazzling dimples.
"Here don't over time smile your teeth dry later."
Hanan held back his laughter and went home.
