DAMNED GIRL
25. MISUNDERSTAND

But Mr. RT still does not want to stay silent because he thinks the death of Grandma is an awkward death caused by Mother, and if true then Mr. RT will give a reprimand to Mother

"So sir, if I could just ask his son right now" Pinta Pak RT

But Miss Nina immediately replied

"We go straight inside, sir, so it's good to talk" said Ms. Nina

Mr. RT agreed and got up and came in to see me

I happened to be in the room with Mira

It was Nina's mother who called me to get out of the room for a moment

"Dhira, come out for a second yuk" she called

Me and Mira just went out together

I met Mr. RT who was sitting on the floor with his legs crossed.

Me and Mira also sat facing them, finally Mr. RT began my interrogation.

"You're the late granddaughter, huh ?" tannya

I nodded

"You know why Grandma died ?" tannya

"Grandmother is sick" I replied

"What sick granny ?" tannya

"His feet hurt" I answered

Hearing my answer, everyone looked at each other. It was clearly on their faces full of question marks

Then Mr. RT asked me again

"Since when did Grandma get sick ?" tannya

"It's been a long time" I replied

Hearing my answer, everything seemed more confused

"How long has it been about how many days ?" ask the RT again

"It's been a long time, since before I took my school exams" I replied

"That's a long time ago" said Mr. RT

I nodded "Yes"

"Who took care of Grandma when she was sick ?" ask again

"I" I answered quickly

"Are you alone, then did your mother also take care of Grandma ?" tannya

I shook my head "No, Mom just came to give me money and went home" I replied

"So, your mother just came to give you money ?" asked Mr. RT reassured me of my answer again

I nodded "Yes"

"So, as long as Grandma's sick, Grandma's at home and not going anywhere huh ?" ask Mr. RT

"Yes" I answered

Hearing my reply, Mother Nina's face immediately turned disappointed to me

"Why did you say that Grandma went to town ?" tannya

"Grandmother told me to" I replied

But Mr. RT seemed dissatisfied with my answer

"Grandmother told you to or your mother told you to ? ask again

"Grandmother told me not to tell her she was sick, Grandma said that she would get well soon" I said

"When your mother came to the house what did she say to you and Grandma ?" tannya

"She only gave me money after she came home" I replied

At the same time there was the sound of the motor stopping in front of Bu Nina's house, then her footsteps got closer to the door.

Everyone wondered who would come to see you and apparently it was Mom with Mr. Yanto.

Mother stood at the door and saw us gathered in one room.

All eyes are on Mom

Ms. Nina who felt like a fellow adult woman just greeted her

"Official, please come in" he said as he hurried to stand and greeted him

But apparently since then Mother held back her emotions after seeing Grandma's house which until tonight is still planted with yellow flags

Mom immediately panicked wondering at Bu Nina

"My mother's house why is there a yellow flag, who died ?" tannya

Before Ms. Nina answered, she turned her head towards us but was still unable to tell the truth

"Your mother died" replied Ms. Nina

Hearing Bu Nina's answer so, immediately the emotional Mother returned uncontrollable.

Mom just kept calling Grandma "Mom...Mothers...Mother..huuhu.hu.huhu!" hysterically shouted

But even though he was crying that easily no one seemed to be pitying him, only Pak Yanto empathized with hugging him

Mr. Yanto tried to calm Mother down by helping her lean against the wall

Mr. Yanto keeps winning it "Already, Mom. Irrelatation. All this is God's way" he said as he continued to stroke her hair

But Mom still cried loudly.

"Mother is dead, I don't have anyone anymore. My parents are not all. They should be healthy. Huhu.huhu.huhu !" he said it was so painful with tears

Then Mom realized my whereabouts, she looked at me with a sharp look.

I understand what that look means.

Then she got up and walked up to me to beat me

"Fucking kid !" he said as he continued to try to reach me so he could hit.

But Mr. Yanto quickly passed it by pulling Mom's hand, and Mira's father, Ms. Nina, and Mr. RT quickly protected me.

But even though Mom's hand is in Pak Yanto's grasp. Mother kept saying rudely to me in a very high voice while pointing at me

"You should have been dead since you were born !" he shouted, to the point of inviting the neighbors and they gathered in front of the door of Mother Nina's house because they were so curious

But Mr. Yanto calmed him down

"Already, Mom. It can't be that" he said

"He who made Mother die, she could not take care of her sick grandmother. He's a killer, he's a fucking carrier. Yesterday my father now my mother got unlucky" he said.

Hearing Mother's words like that, finally Mr. RT intervened

"Calm Ms. Lasmi, calm down first" he said

But I'm still stubborn "You're as calm as you are, try if you're in my position. How does it feel" upset Mom

Hearing him, Mr. RT sighed for a moment. He's having a little trouble with Mom.

Slowly Mr. RT invited Mother to talk carefully.

"Look at Miss Lasmi, all this time I knew that Grandma Dhira was sick. But why don't you take care of her ?" ask Mr. RT

The mother who was still crying hysterically became silent. His lips were trembling as if he did not know what to answer.

I just stared hard at Mr. RT's face

But Mr. RT continues his interrogation which is now even to Mother

"I'm sorry Mom, when Grandma Dhira was sick did Mom have any thoughts about taking her to the hospital ?" tannya

Mother just shut up.

But Mr. Yanto who replied "Already Sir, previously I had invited him to seek treatment but he refused" he replied

"But why is it that only Dhira takes care of her Grandma alone, why don't you take care of her too ?" press Pak RT

But Mother remained silent, Mr. Yanto also became unmoved. The atmosphere became silent for a moment even though it was surrounded by many residents outside Bu Nina's house.

Mr. RT is still pressing on Mom. Because according to Mr. RT, whatever the reason Mother in the eyes of Mr. RT Mother remains guilty of letting me bear alone to care for Grandma even though Mother is still alive and well what else knows the way to Grandma's house.

But Ms. Nina finally tried to mediate the situation this cold night.

"It's Lasmi, it's God's way. Grandma Dhira is healed. Want to blame anyone is not important because Granny Dhira will not come back to life" he said wisely

Hearing him, Mr. RT nodded in agreement.

Finally when Mother was calmer, either a good spirit from where entered into her soul. Suddenly, my mother took me home with her

"Dhira, let's go home" he said slowly

I was even nervous when he asked me because I felt that later Mom would not be fair to love me.

I have not given an answer, I just keep quiet and I can see the look on Mother Nina's face as if expressing a sense of uncertainty for Mother's attitude the next day.

But this time it was Mr. Yanto who asked me gently "Son, we go home yuk. Later you will live with your Father, Mother and brother, Liana" he persuaded

For some reason when Mr. Yanto invited, that's where my heart melted and immediately nodded

"Yes" I answered

But even so, the look on the face of Bu Nina, Mr. RT, and Mira's father was so flat as not sure how to foster Mom to me later.

But even so after I stood up and approached Mother and Mr. Yanto, their faces changed slightly. They tried to let me go with Mom. Because even if they wanted to confront me not to go with Mom, they had no power and no solid evidence that Mom was not the one to take good care of me.

Then Mr. Yanto told me to say goodbye

"Look, saying goodbye to you, Mommy, your friend Mira" he said

"I'll go home first, Mom, sir, Mira" I said goodbye

Miss Nina answered "Yes, yes. Be careful on the road. It was night" he said

Mr. Yanto also said "Thank you for your concern for Dhira, may we all be healthy always. My wife and Dhira came home" he said

"Amin" they're in unison

While Mom just stepped out without saying goodbye to anyone. With his still arrogant attitude he drove away the citizens who blocked the door, blocking his path

"Side, shameless of you. This is a spectacle !" ketch

Without physical or verbal resistance, all the citizens who piled up in the mouth of the door eventually shifted.
