Dilemma Intersection
Chapter 4. Dirga Agung Prayoga

Dirga Agung Prayoga is the second child of the Dirgantara family. One of the biggest entrepreneurs in Bandung. PT. Dirgantara has many business fields, ranging from Electronic stores to auto and motorcycle repair shops. But unfortunately, Dirga seems not to be in the family.

Since birth, Dirga has been nurtured by Grandpa and Grandma. The reason given by both parents Dirga is very strange, he said. How can a child be sold for nine thousand rupiah, just because it has the same birthday with both parents. Both Dirga parents were born on Friday, and Dirga was born on Friday. It is said that if it is not bought, one of them will be gone. Ever since knowing that reason, Dirga hated her family so much.

It feels unfair, Dirga who grew up also wanted to be able to feel a family warmth. It was not his desire to be born on the same day as his parents.

"Sir, why did Dirga have to be born from your womb if she had to be exiled like this? They should just abort Dirga" said Dirga who was asleep in the lap of the grandmother.

"It's all for your own good, son. They just don't want to lose you, they love you. Even they still finance you until now," said Grandma gave understanding to Dirga.

"Then why? My name is Dirga Agung Prayoga? Not Handini Daughter of Aerospace or Aini Clarisa Princess of Aerospace? Why is my name Prayoga, Grandma?! I hate Papa and Mama!" shouted Dirga and left the Grandma.

From then on, Dirga became a very cold person. He hates to see others happy with his family. Dirga began to make mistakes often, only to get the attention of both parents. He often fights, even to the point of almost being expelled by his school. But the power of the Dirgantara family, can make Dirga still be there until now. Dirga sat on the bench in 3rd grade of High School, and soon she will graduate.

Dirga had just finished playing futsal with his friends, Dirga was handsome enough that he had a lot of student fans. It's just that, his cold nature made people disinclined him. Dirga is also one of the introverts, and coincidentally he met with other introverts.

Bruk!

A veiled girl accidentally bumped into him, the girl apologized without looking at him. I want Dirga to scold that girl but she can't, weird right?

"Next time be careful, sweetie!" panji said a close friend of Dirga.

"Thank you, Brother!" after saying that, the girl just passed by from before Dirga. The smiling pennant looked at his best friend.

"Beautiful, Ga?! Duh so boga kabogoh," chirps Panji disperse daydream Dirga.

Without answering Panji's words, Dirga rushed to the locker to pick up her school uniform.

"Basic iceberg, rock mountain, twin mountain! Uh, naha so I'm!" muttered Panji while shaking his head.

"Ji, call ji! Maneh's trance?!" ask Panji's best friend named Eki.

"That Dirga nu possessed mah!" ketus Panji then followed Dirga changed clothes.

Dirga will return to class, but his steps stopped when he saw the girl who was being run by his friend. Panji stepped wanting to separate, but Dirga prevented him and pointed at the girl with the tip of her eye.

"Anjai! Awesome pisan euy eta underclassman, abong son of his General! Trained hard rich tea, until can martial me," said Panji made Dirga look at the girl.

"Are you the same as me? Who do not get parental affection," Dirga's inner.

After school, Dirga will go with his friends to the Night Market. Dirga never went straight home, because he did not want to stay too much at home that made him continue to feel hurt.

Trings

Dirga's phone rang, sign the message coming in. Dirga saw the SMS Banking report he received. Mama Dirga has been sending money, for Dirga's pocket money for one month. Of course not a little nominal, but Dirga does not need it. All she needed was the affection of her parents.

In the afternoon, Dirga and his friends were already in the night market. They hang out there, on their CRF bikes. Dirga is very fond of dirt bikes, he even goes to the mountain every week to enjoy the beauty of nature with his trail bike.

Dirga's eyes stopped when he saw a family he thought was happy. Mother, Father and two children who were playing rides there, Dirga's heart hurt. Because he had never felt that.

Dirga left suddenly, making Panji and the others worried and soon followed Dirga.

"If there are parents who throw away their children, then the world and the afterlife become a place that never calms in life. How can parents not like their children, not that the child is the result of the affection of their father and mother? My wounded heart cannot be healed at once. It's even worse if the wounds that come from both parents that make you in this world. I'm going to soak up all the meaning behind that bitter memory you gave me, Papa. And I'll teach you a lesson in the direction of a better future," Dirga's tears could not be contained anymore, Dirga cried while pushing the bike fast.

Dirga did not return to the grandmother's house, but she was standing in front of the fence of her parents' house. Dirga could see, the warmth of the family there. Dirga drove his bike, hit the fence of the house slightly open. It made them astonished, Papa and Mama Dirga poured out as well as his sister and brother.

Papa Dirga looked at him furiously, and one slap successfully landed on his cheek.

"What are you doing?! Always acting like it!" shouted Papa Dirga.

"Why should I be born of your seed and the womb of your wife, the Great Aerospace?! I'm just an outcast! Have you ever thought of me, the kid you've been throwing away?!" dirga shouted making her Papa grow furious.

"Kill me! I am just your dreg! Where were you when I needed a little of your affection? Where?! Why should I be born?! Why?!! I just want to get a little affection like Handini and Aini! Remember the Great Aerospace! One day, you will look for me and kneel before me!!" shouted Dirga then walked slowly towards his motorbike full of emotion.

Mama Dirga caught up and held her hand, pleading and crying.

"I'm sorry Mom and Dad, son. We just don't want to lose you" said Mama Dirga.

"I'm sorry? Can you say a mother? The mother who never wanted to take care of her sick child, the mother who did not care for her child," Dirga said.

"Enough Dirga!! She is your mother, remember heaven is at your mother's feet!" snapped Handini.

"Heaven? His foot? That only applies to you, HANDINI AND AINI DIRGANTARA! My name is Dirga Agung Prayoga! And I am not a AEROSPACE child! One more thing, if I can choose, I want MY SURGE TO BE AT GRANDMA'S FEET! Who has loved me so sincerely!" shouted Dirga with tears on his cheeks.

Dirga goes with his bike, he runs his bike at high speed. Papa and Mama Dirga sat in a doldrums, they just realized their mistake. They used to think Dirga was a strong boy, in fact he was fragile without the affection of his parents.

"This hates Papa and Mama, because you Dirga sisters hate Aini too!" shout Aini.

"Go to Aini's room!" snapped Handini.

"I hate Dini too! I want to stay with Grandma, who is obviously human!" aini's shout made the mother cry even more.

Dirga stopped at a supermarket, he bought a bottle of insect repellent. This time, Dirga was determined to end his life. He did not want to live in pain, loneliness and solitude. Dirga was fed up with this world, at his age who was still unstable Dirga was reluctant to continue his life.

After buying an insect repellent, Dirga gulped it down to the toilet on the edge of the bridge. His body started to limp, his mouth started to spit out foam. And Dirga was unconscious. Until shortly afterwards, came a group of people wearing TNI AD uniforms found Dirga in that ill-fated condition. They immediately took Dirga to the nearest hospital, and Dirga was finally helped.

Who would have thought, who found Dirga was Mirda who had just returned from Mas Bewok store. Mirda heard the phone ring, saying 'YANG KUBENCI'. Mirda picked up the phone, and heard the sound of sobs.

"Dirga! Where are you, son? Forgive Mama dear," soak Mama Dirga.

"Sorry mom, I found my mom's son lying on the side of the road with his mouth foaming. We've taken the mother's son to Hasan Sadikin Hospital" Mirda said.

"What?!" the call was disconnected, it looks like the phone fell.

Half an hour later, Dirga's parents and Grandpa's Grandmother and Brother's Brother arrived at the Hospital. Dirga was in the ICU room, because the poison had entered his digestion. Until his condition was bad enough, they cried bitterly.

"Dirga my son! I'm a failed mother, I don't deserve to be called a mother!" hysterical Mom Dirga.

"Enough! Quiet down!" snapped Papa Dirga who looked very frustrated, however Dirga was the only boy expected to be his successor.

"Sorry Sir, Mom. This is Dirga's phone, we say goodbye because we have to go back to the Dormitory," said Mirda then gave the phone to Mama Dirga.

"Thank you, son," said Mama Dirga while stroking Mirda's shoulder.

"Together, Mom. May Dirga soon recover," said Mirda then leave.

Mama Dirga cried, when she saw her number stored with the name 'YANG KUBENCI' while her husband's number was stored with the name 'HELL MY LIFE'. They bowed lethargicly, while Grandpa and Grandma Dirga only fell silent in silence.

"It hurts your life, Dirga. Forgive Mama and Papa, Son," Inner Mama Dirga.
