After the joint prayer event for the late Mother of Pure was completed, the surrounding residents had gradually returned to their respective homes. After the morning of holding the event and reception, the evening Pak Fahri family still held a tahlilan event at his residence. The nuclear family has been reunited including their besan Shinta and Toni.
“Tonight, we want to say goodbye to Mr. Fahri's family. Tomorrow we will return to Jakarta. We also want to invite Dita and her husband because before going to Jakarta we will visit her grandparents first.” Toni.
“We also can't ban you guys any longer here, right? Even if we want you guys to stay here longer. But I also understand each other's activities. Forgive me if we've been here, we didn't treat it as we should. And you guys should also hear bad words from my family's mouth.” Said Mr. Fahri listlessly.
“We understand, Sir. We feel no shortage here. Thank you for all that you and your family have given to our family, especially to Dita and Dika.”
“Because tonight we gather all, you also want to say if you and Julie want to leave Umrah after seven days of your Mother.” Said Mr. Fahri to Adi and Faisal. They nodded in agreement and Faisal looked at his family one by one and saw Aisyah for quite a while. “Ayesha, looks like we found your mother!” he said then made the contents of the room instantly silent for a few seconds.
“Are you sure? Don't be so quick to believe people's words. Prove it first.” Said Mr. Fahri.
“From birthmarks and clothes and necklaces worn by Aisyah as a baby all the words are correct. We will meet him and ask for a hair sample to do a DNA test after arriving in Surabaya.” Faisal said steadily.
“Alright! You know what to do best.”
“Aisyah, tomorrow we'll go see your parents. Let's hope this is really your parents.” Faisal. Aisyah who sat beside Iskandar could only nod weakly. His hope to meet his biological parents seemed to disappear after so many phones that went into the mother's phone but only this time something was right.
“Just calm down, if it is your sustenance. We'll meet them again.” Iskandar Whisper.
The next day, they drove Dita's family and till Jannah's best friend to the airport. Dita's family will fly to Medan to meet Shinta's parents. Till Jannah's best friend will return to Surabaya. After releasing their departure, Faisal and Ayu immediately invited Iskandar and Aisyah to the residence of the person claiming to be the parents of Aisha. Cut and Rendra also participate with Teuku.
According to the address they gave, the Aisyah family was in a village called Lamno. After traveling for about an hour and a half. They arrived in Lamno area which is one of the villages in Aceh Jaya district where Aisyah was found. Once at SPBU, Ayu again contacted Aisyah's family.
“We have arrived at SPBU, can I come here! We don't know the way.” Whereas in Cut's car there was Faris who participated. A little he knew the place but Ayu did not say anything until a motorbike turned into an SPBU arae and the woman was seen contacting someone.
“Assalamualaikum, Where's mom? I'm already at SPBU using a green negligee.” Without answering, Ayu immediately went down and approached the woman.
“Mother Mala?” tanyakanya.
The woman nodded they shook hands. The passengers who watched from inside the car came down and shook hands with the woman named Mala. The woman's gaze was immediately fixed on the girl who was standing next to a man. “Putroe?” he said he approached Aisyah. He stared fixedly at Aisyah's face watching carefully.
“Let's go home to make it better to talk!” bring later. The woman immediately drove her motorcycle followed by Faisal and Rendra's car.
A house that is a tsunami relief house but has been exaggerated from the back to look bigger. Across the street is the high sea. This is what makes this area most affected by the tsunami because the distance to the sea is very close.
“Please enter!” said the woman. They all went inside and sat on a sheet of Acehnese woven mat.
“Before a while, I stay in the kitchen first.” Mala said and left them there.
“Assalamualaikum,” says a new man is coming. He held several durians in his left and right hands.
The man simply put down his durian while staring at Aisyah. “Putroe?” the name was again heard by their ears.
“I stay in the bathroom first. Last night stay at durian garden.”
“Please, Sir.” Faisal said with Rendra.
Mala came with a large tray containing glasses and two plates of typical Aceh timphan cake. “Please drink first.” Her speech. Cut smiled then grabbed a timphan. “Mama's favorite cake.” She nodded to the husband. Not only Cut who likes the typical cake of the region, Rendra who came from Java only liked the cake when new duty in Aceh. Not only the Acehnese girl who made him fall in love, typical Acehnese food also managed to win the love of a commander.
The man who brought the durian back. His face and body already look clean and fragrant with clothes that are neater than before when he just returned from the garden. The man shook hands with the guests then sat down beside his wife but his gaze was immediately fixed on Aisyah.
“This is my husband, father of Putroe.” Mala.
“My name, Ibrahim. Mala told me that today our daughter will be coming home. But I didn't expect it to come this fast so I still stayed in the garden last night. When the tsunami occurred, I was also in the garden that night waiting for the durian to fall and I would return home in these hours after collecting all the durians. And I did not expect if when I returned, our house was flat.” Ibrahim's Reminiscence.
“At that time, our house was not like this. Our house is of wood. Then after the tsunami we got a relief house and this was his home. Behind us add our own because there is still land.” Many times they glanced towards Aisyah.
“Nothing was left at that time. So we can't prove anything if the mother's daughter is our son. Only the birthmark on his body that I remember clearly until this second.” Mala.
“Not only was Putroe missing back then. Her brother from my first husband is also missing. I myself was found the day after because it got stuck in mangrov tree.” Remember Mala.
“Before marrying Bang Him, I once married a man and at that time we lived on the island of Breuh. Then there was a disaster and my husband died. When Bang Khalid died, his second wife gave birth. And after that, Tari, his second wife had a mental disorder that could not take care of the child. I myself did not have children when I married the late Bang Khalid and the family of his second wife also could not take care of the child because his first wife was also going to give birth. I asked his family for permission to take care of the baby and then I met Bang Him and he asked me to get married. Because I was thinking if I had a problem with my womb so I asked Bang Him if he would accept me with Nyak Tari, he said, the son of the second wife Bang Khalid and I am grateful that Bang Him received the orphan. We also moved here because Bang Him was originally a fisherman and he said he would change his livelihood to become a gardener. I followed him with Nyak Tari then after that without my guessing, Putro was present in my womb.” The story was long but one woman who heard the story felt claustrophobic in her chest.
“Kak Mala, is Big Brother the wife of Bang Khalid and the first wife and both are Putro Ceudah and Putro Dance son of Keuchik Banta on Breuh Island?” tanya Cut made everyone frown including Rendra.
“I-Yes. Brother knows them?” Mala was no less surprised.
Cut got up from his seat and sat down in front of Mala. “I Cut, the woman who came with Bang Khalid and stayed at Keuchik Banta.” house Mala's eyes grew instantaneously.
“Cut, beloved woman Bang Khalid?” hearing that, Rendra's ears suddenly reddened. Cut nodded slowly, Mala immediately hugged Cut.
“I am the mother-in-law of the man who married the girl who is likely Kak Mala's son.”
“So we besan?” Mala asked with a happy twinkle.
“Possibly so.” Lirih Cut's.
“So Putro's husband was the son who was then Dance and Ceudah present at Kak Cut's wedding? At that time they were pregnant and I just married Bang Khalid.”
“Iya and he also found and marawat Kak Mala's son at that time with his wife. Just before the tsunami, my father and I were divorced. And after that I remarry and that's my husband, if that's my ex-husband, his father Iskandar.”
“I'm confused Brother Cut!” Mala's curse innocently made them chuckle.
“Bang Faisal married Ayu's mother then took care of Putro together after divorce with me. The daughter who is now named Aisyah married my son named Iskandar whose father is Bang Faisal, adoptive father from Putro.” Obviously Cut slowly then Mala smiled stiffly.
“How's the family doing Keuchik Banta?” tanya Cut later.
“Last we went back to Breuh Island, Keuchik Banta and his wife are dead. There lived Putro Ceudah who was married again and also took care of Tari alone.”
“Why not put in hospital?”
“No idea, Brother Cut. Now Dance in brackets in her room so as not to run.”
“What Bang Khalid died from being shot?” ask Cut back.
“Yes, after a few months of hiding. The soldiers managed to find him in a thin state of dryness due to lack of food. After the army occupied Breuh Island, the citizens could not help Bang Khalid because if caught by the army, we would be arrested and tortured in public.” Cut took a deep breath imagining what happened to Khalid. While Rendra chose to waste his face when he heard how the lunge of soldiers like himself while serving in Aceh first.
“For Putro problems, I leave it to Bang Faisal and Mbak Ayu.” Cut told her ex-husband. After finishing his bernoltalgia, Faisal began to open serious talks with Mala and Ibrahim.
“I apologize before, but to clarify the status of Aisyah or Putro. We'll do a DNA test between Mr and Aisyah. So that there is no doubt in the future. For that, we came here to ask for a hair sample of Mr. Ibrahim to be tested with Aisyah's. From the results of the test will see whether you are really a child and father or not. Once again I apologize if our request is heartless but it is best to dispel any doubts. How about Sir, Buk?” Mala looked at her husband.
“What test need to pay?” ask Ibrahim.
“No, Sir. We only need your hair.”
“My hair needs too? I am his mother?” they smile small, “No, Buk. Just his dad. If you do not need to test again because the mother gave birth but if you have another new wife need to be tested.” Gurau Faisal's.
“No, Mr. Faisal. My wife is just my Putro Mother.” Mala smiled slightly glancing at her husband.
Mala immediately cut her husband's hair in front of everyone and put it in the plastic that had been provided by Faisal.
“When did we know?” ask Mala enthusiastically.
“If later the results have come out and if indeed Aisyah is Putro then she herself will come with her husband to say directly to Father and Mother. But if not, we will notify Father and Mother by phone.” Faisal replied firmly.
The faces of Ibrahim and Mala look lethargic, “If Aisyah was Putro, she would have come back to you. Hope your wait brings results!” Cut tries to encourage the woman he once knew.
The couple nodded weakly, “Tomorrow we will go straight back to Surabaya to do the test as soon as possible. Then we beg you to leave because we have to prepare for our return tomorrow.” Faisal.
“Em, Can we take pictures with Putro? We have been waiting for him for a long time and I also want to see his birthmark. What can?” pinta Mala's.
Aisyah looked at Faisal and Ayu, “Let me accompany but only Mom can see it for now.” Say soft Ayu. Mala nodded then took Aisyah and Ayu to the empty room. “Mala's eyes widen when she sees Aisyah's birthmark near the navel and below when the girl.
“This is indeed Putro, Mala's tears broke and then quickly embraced the girl he believed to be his missing daughter.
Ayu let the woman hug Aisyah for a while until Aisyah herself who unraveled the embrace. “But we have to do another test yes, Buk!” Mala nodded then they came out of the room.
“She is indeed Putroe, Bang.”
