Cut almost collapsed when he found out the condition of the child and the victim he hit. When they are anxious waiting for results after both have completed surgery on the head and legs. Cut's family was again shocked when a nurse reported that the victim who was hit by her child was the guardian of a mother who was being treated there. Wulan's mother was critical of diabetes and heart complications.
Cut invites Rendra and Iskandar to meet the mother named Sulastri in his nursery. The middle-aged woman stared in surprise at the three people who entered behind the nurse. “S-us, d-in m-ma-na W-wulan?” tanyanya lirih glanced at the three strangers in her ward.
Cut approached the middle-aged woman who was lying weakly on top of her branch. “Bu, introduce me, Cut and this is my husband and my first son. Just as sorry for my second son making a mistake on the road last night to bump into Mom's daughter. But I promise I will be in charge of treating Mother's daughter until she recovers.” Cut clasped the middle-aged woman's hand. From his appearance it could be estimated to be several years older than him.
“A-pa ya-ng te-jadi den-gan Wu-lan, Mom? Wh-what's d-ia pa-rah? Su-dah sa-ya kat-akan p-ada su-ster un-tuk ti-dak hubu-ngi his ma-lam-mal-am. Kasi-han once an-ak i-tu,” Mother Satsri's tears flowed, her eyes glaring as if the misfortune of her life never ended.
“Bu, they're done with surgery. Mom soon healthy yes, let us see it together.” Say Cut again. To be honest, he also did not know how the current state of Anugrah and Wulan was.
“Bu, t-olong ja-ga W-ulan. In-a ti-dak p-unya futile-pa la-gi in si-ni. T-ol ong ja-ga d-ia!”
Seeing something else, Iskandar approached and led Bu Sulastri to say the creed slowly until the sound of a heart rate detection machine and a straight line from the monitor. The nurse and nurse came and confirmed that Sulastri's mother had died. Rendra and Iskandar manage the repatriation of the body of Ms. Sulastri as well as managing all her administration. Cut was silent in concern.
“What will I tell his daughter later?” muttered Cut himself until a warm swab of the husband again realized it.
“Come, we take Bu Sulastri to his residence to his final resting place.”
The three left the hospital. For a moment they ignored the children who were still lying in the hospital. They came in the back of the ambulance. Cut with Iskandar followed the body inward. The neighbors began to arrive. Rendra talked to some people outside, Cut already doesn't care. By saying the bismillah, Iskandar prepared all that was needed to bathe the corpse. Iskandar also entered the room in the modest house to look for a temporary face-covering cloth while waiting for the corpse to be bathed. All the processions were taken care of by Rendra and Iskandar all the way to the funeral.
From the hospital there has been no news about the development of Anugrah and Wulan until the day before night. Many residents told about the figure of Sulastri's mother who lived alone with Wulandari in the simple house. To support daily needs, they sell nasi uduk, chicken penyet to various types of cakes.
“What relatives no one came, sir?” ask Rendra to Mr. RT in the neighborhood.
“No, Sir. They have lived here for a long time. Homeowners are reluctant to rent out to others because Wulan sometimes takes care of and takes care of the elderly homeowner. Therefore, even though their income is small. Homeowners still allow them to stay here.”
“Wulan that his son is patient never once complained or angry like his mother. His son is friendly and diligent. When other teenage children choose to play with his friends, Wulan was busy in the kitchen helping his mother.” Said their neighbors mothers.
“So how is Wulan now, Sir?” ask Mr. RT back.
“I don't know yet, Sir. But we promised her mother to look after Wulan.”
“So, the son of the Father of the army at Raider's headquarters there huh?”
“Iya, Buk. I was also surprised why there was an accident when I just called us an hour before the incident. He hung up on her for going to bed because tomorrow morning there was a combined exercise.”
“It's the creator's will, sir. Maybe this is God's way to give Wulan to the right person when her mother has to come back.” Said Mr. RT back.
A full month they waited for Anugrah and Wulan whistle until almost despair but fate said another. Asa Cut did not break up even though she almost fell down to see her child was not aware. Until finally, Wulan and Anugrah opened their eyes together. Cut cried in his prostration.staring at the son and the girl he hit was already conscious.
A week after they regained consciousness, doctors confirmed that his condition had improved and that their surgery had been a success but for Anugrah. He can't be like before. Some of the bones are not as strong as they used to be until they are not allowed to take part in strenuous exercise. For the prohibition, Anugrah can get a letter to move easily. As for Wulan, some of his nerves are damaged so it takes time to return to normal walking.
Wulan himself had to do routine physiotherapy to train his muscles and nerves to work again to accelerate he can walk again. But unfortunately, Wulan who knew if his mother had died right on the day of the accident became hysterical until several times had to be given a sedative. Every time he opened his eyes, Wulan always called an oath of grace to Anugrah who lay with him in one room.
“Basic killer, why don't you just die?”
“Junk like you better die in my place.”
And various other absorbent vows came out free from the mouth of Wulan without stopping. Cut could only hug her husband behind the door when she had to hear various hurtful words for her son.
“Let him let out all his anger. This way he will calm down.”
Iskandar could only remain silent as the Papa tried to comfort his mother. He himself could not bear to hear all those words let alone imagine his sister's current position. Anugrah only closed her eyes when she received all the swearing from Wulan's mouth. He's guilty, it's all his fault. If that night he did not take the bike, if that night he just ran, if that night he chose to sleep and many more words if that appeared in his mind. All regrets are useless. The award is lost and wrong. His mistake has taken away a child's chance to see his mother one last time.
“Sorry,” Overturned Anugrah. Both are still lying in their respective bracages.
“Save your apologies it's a killer. You're the most disgusting man in the world.”
“I make sure you will receive your karma more than I feel!”
“I'll laugh as much in front of your eyes later.”
At every moment when he came to his senses, Wulan kept saying those words to Anugrah. Wulan himself never responded to a single word from the Anugrah family. He hated them all his life. Wulan's hatred grew when two weeks later, they were allowed to go home and then with a strong voice Rendra said he would take Wulan with them to Surabaya.
“What right do you bring me? You are not my nobody. You're just the father of the killer. There, take care of your child to be good. Don't take care of me.”
“I promised your late mother to look after and care for you.”
“We will visit your mother's grave first before going to Surabaya.” Resolutely Rendra but responded by Wulan cynically. Wulan wanted to run away but her legs could not be moved.
“How do I disappear from here?” wulan's mind at that time but unfortunately his mind has been read by Rendra.
“Don't think of escaping! Let alone run, the road cannot. If you want to run away, heal your feet in Surabaya. Once you recover, I will take you anywhere myself. Your late mother didn't want her daughter to be a beggar. With your condition like this do you intend to be a beggar”
Wulan was speechless, Rendra's firm voice was able to make him speechless but his brain continued to look for various ways not to go with them but what power. He who is without nothing loses to those who have nothing. Wulan sat in a wheelchair up to the cemetery parking area. After that, Rendra carried Wulan to his mother's grave. At first Wulan screamed and resisted but Rendra's gaze drew sharply at her making Wulan silent.
The cemetery where his mother was buried was not a fancy cemetery. So, it was very difficult to push the wheelchair inside the tomb area so Rendra was the one who carried it. While Iskandar is unlikely to do that considering they are single and inappropriate. And Iskandar did not necessarily want to do it.
After coming from the tomb, Rendra took Wulan to his house. The house is still as it was. Rendra maintained the house until Wulan suman for promising to bring Wulan here before going to Surabaya.
Wulan cried as soon as she entered the house. Rendra patiently pushed the wheelchair up to Wulan's room.
“Where are the photos of mom?” Ask Wulan.
“All your items I have sent to Surabaya. This house is already occupied by someone else tomorrow. The lease is over today.”
Mr. RT and some neighbors came to see Wulan one last time. They had been informed by Rendra about Mother Sulastri's request before she died. Mr. RT and the neighbors also thanked Rendra for taking full responsibility for Wulan.
“If they are healed, why not just get married? My son is still single, right?” the woe of one of the mothers makes Cut and Rendra seling stare at each other.
“True too, Sir. They look harmonious even though they are still unconscious.” Said Mr. RT who had visited Wulan and Anugrah at the hospital.
“God willing, if they are a match of course we will gladly accept it.” Said Rendra at that time was cleaning up the goods to be sent to Surabaya.

Three months later….
“Brother Anugrah bin Rendra Wicaksono, I married and I control you with Wulandari binti Sutedja whose guardian has submitted to me to marry him to you with a dowry of 20 grams of gold paid in cash!”
“I received the marriage and marriage of Wulandari binti Sutedja with the dowry in cash!”
“How is witness?”
“Sah!”
“Sah!”
The chants of prayer flowed after a simple procession of ijab kabul in the big house of Mr. Wicaksono. There were not many guests present, only KUA officers, RT chairman, RW and some close neighbors. Anugrah took the marriage book she had signed and brought it to a girl who was sitting in a wheelchair with an expressionless flat face. Highlight his eyes looked hatefully at this man in front of him.
“Nak, let's sign it first.” Soft Cut vibe.
Cut took the pen in Anugrah's hand and carefully placed it in Wulan's hand. Patiently, Cut persuades Wulan to sign his marriage book. With hate and swearing in his heart, Wulan pulled a single ink scratch on it. Her tears had been dry for these three months considering her mother.
Wulan's hatred grew as she was forced to accept Anugrah as her husband. Wulan couldn't do much. The mistake is not to really heal until now he still can not walk. His spirit suddenly dissipated when he thought of his mother. He wanted to die after his mother instead of seeing the killer every day. Wulan darkened his eyes until one afternoon he injured his veins with a glass splinter.
“You want your mother to be tormented in her grave? By doing this, it's the same as hitting your mother with a fire whip. Have you forgotten what makes a mother happy in her grave? Godly child, if you are not godly at least do not become disobedient like this by trying to kill yourself. Is your love for him only limited to the world by helping him cook? That's not what your mom wants right now. Only a line of sincere prayers from his son made him happy inside. Are you this selfish?”
After that incident, Wulan never again attempted suicide. He was more silent and did not scream as usual. And when Ijab kabulpun, he was silent with a blank look. His gaze would change as he looked at Anugrah. His hatred for the man will never be lost by time until at any time.
Cut push Wulan wheelchair to room, “Rest, you must be tired.”
“Life with you was a mistake and now you're giving hell to me. You guys really aren't human.”
