Caught in the Love of the Past
Chapter 24
“Assalamu’alaikum,” said Fitri when he was in front of the house of his parents.
There is a fear of meeting her parents, Fitri fears her family's anger has not subsided as she chooses to follow Dimas to her village.
“Wa’alaikumsalam,” replied Dina, brother Fitri.
It just so happened that Dina was visiting the home of her parents.
Dina stepped out to open the fence of a simple house owned by her parents.
“Fitri,” said Dina when she saw the figure she missed so far.
Fitri is the only sister of Dina, she rushed to open the fence.
Dina immediately hugged her sister's body which was getting thinner and thinner.
“Why are you coming now?” lirih Dina's.
Her voice began to hoarse, Dina could no longer hold back her tears, longing for her sister.
Fitri took off the big brother's embrace.
“Why is sister crying?” ask Fitri.
“It's okay, brother just miss you,” replied Dina.
Fitri felt that something was being hidden by her brother, her heart began to wonder. He can't wait to meet his parents.
“This is Rasya,” lirih Dina bent over aligning her face with the little girl standing next to Fitri.
The little girl who had been staring was astonished at her Mother and the woman who stood before her. He wondered about Dina.
“I-iya,” Rasya replied a little scared.
“Honey, this is mama. You have forgotten, yes the same mom,” said Dina.
Dina looks sad to see Rasya who does not know him, it's only natural that when Fitri and her family moved to the village of Dimas, Rasya was 1 year old. She has not known the figure of Dina, especially since they moved to the village of Dimas, Fitri never came to see his family because he was still afraid of the anger of his family.
“Kak, Ibudan Which father?” ask Fitri.
He was already impatient to meet his two parents even though in his heart there was still a deep fear.
“Dad is inside, let's go in,” take Dina.
“Mother?” ask Fitri.
“Let's go inside, Honey,” said Dina ignoring Fitri's question.
They stepped into the house, Fitri saw the man who had always been his protector before Dimas present in his life was sitting on a sofa in the living room while reading the newspaper.
Fitri's eyes are also fixed on the arrangement of the space in the house of his parents at this time that has changed a lot.
“Yeah, look who came,” said Dina.
Dina's words made Fitri's father stop his activities, he lowered the newspaper in his hand, he saw his youngest daughter. Immediately tears began to pool in the middle-aged man's eyes.
Fitri ran over to the father, Fitri rested at his father's feet.
“I'm sorry, Well,” sobs Fitri broke.
He cried so much at the feet of the father, Fitri ignored the existence of his little girl who just silently looked at the mother crying.
The mother-of-one blew away all the burdens she felt, in the deep longing and the wounds she was facing. Fitri's body shook off the tightness in her chest.
Dina joined in tears at what she saw at this time, she stepped up to Fitri by holding little girl Rasya near her father.
Dina sits on the sofa next to her father.
“I'm sorry, Dad. I've sinned to ignore you,” sobs Fitri.
“Already, Son. There is nothing to forgive, we have forgiven you,” said Mr Rahim.
Fitri got up and sat down next to his father, the middle-aged man rubbed the princess' tears. He also embraces his youngest daughter who now looks skinny, her face looks older because of the life she faces
Fitri again cried on the chest of the middle-aged man field that is very dear to him, at this time he really needs a chest field for him to lean from the tiredness of the journey of life through him.
The womb gently caressed the head of the princess with great affection.
“Mother where, Well,” shimmies Fitri after venting her sadness.
She remembered the existence of the mother because ever since she came, her mother had not been seen at all.
Rahim turned towards his eldest daughter, they were clashing with each other. Highlight Rahim's eyes as if asking Dina to convey about her mother.
“Dek, mom is gone,” Overt Dina slowly.
“No!” shouted Fitri hysterically.
She could not believe that the woman who had conceived and gave birth to her had gone far away, Fitri denied what Dina said.
“No, Well, say mom is still alive,” isak Fitri hysterical.
“kak, you don't lie to me. I'm still alive,” Fitri said.
Fitri stood up, she stepped towards her mother's room.
“Bu, mother where?”
“Mother?”
“I'm coming, Bu.”
“Mother, I miss mom,” Fitri said stepping around the house looking for the most precious female figure in her life.
“Mother, I miss mother,” isak Fitri again broke, she sat on the floor crying over the departure of the woman who had given birth to her.
Fitri cried for his stupidity that never shared the news to his family, Fitri lamented everything that had happened. She regretted never coming to visit her family for the sake of her husband's orders.
He ignored his family for the sake of the husband who now continues to hurt him, Fitri continued to cry. He can't afford to go through all this.
Rasya also cried to see his mother who kept crying. The little girl approached the mother.
“Mother,”lih Rasya.
Rasya hugged the frail body of the Mother. He wiped the tears that soaked the mother's cheeks.
“Mother do not cry, I am also sad,” persuade Rasya to feel sorry for the Mother.
Fitri immediately hugged the tiny body of the little girl who was always there with him.

Fitri now sits on the terrace of the house staring blankly out the fence that is occasionally seen by residents passing in front of the fence. While Rasya had fallen asleep on the living room couch tired, the little girl fell asleep next to her grandfather.
Dina brought a cup of warm tea to her sister.
“Fit, drink first yes, Dek,” Ogre Dina.
“Dek, this is all fate. Mom died about a year ago, before she left, she asked me to tell you to come back, but I couldn't contact you at all. So that mother goes in deep longing for you,” said Dina told the condition of her mother before dying.
“Mother died just ordinary pain, before she died she said to me, that she has forgiven you and wants you to go home,”.
Dina told me what had happened to her family since Fitri's departure from her village. Fitri was silent, but she still listened to every word her eldest sister, the woman who had always been Fitri's best friend and best friend in sharing.
