DIVORCE DEED
New Home

The trip to the village of mama is not as crowded as usual. I'm a little grateful for that. Before returning home, I took the time to discuss with one of my acquaintance architects. Home renovation. Like I promised my mom a few days ago.

"Kok didn't say the hell you want to come, mama was sorted out in the garden"

I smiled. The woman was exhausted. The clothes he was wearing were even full of dirt.

"Mom why you have to clean yourself anyway, can you say Karin, let Karin tell people to clean up"

"Mama's still strong, son, anyways just clean up a little."

"Let's go in, Mama cleaned your room"

"Ma......Karin wants to stay here with mom"

The woman's steps stopped.

"really? Mama's happy then? Your husband is coming too?"

Is now the right time to tell my mom? Will my mother be sad?

"Karin's.....Karin will part ways with mas Aditya ma"

Mama looked. His eyes were shocked to hear my words.

"Why baby? What was? Tell mama?"

I told everything that happened to my mom. Everything was. Mama wiped away every tear that fell from the corner of my eye.

"Mama will agree with all your decisions, as long as you are happy with it all"

"Remember, son, you are a strong woman. Every trial that comes, will surely end happily"

Tonight my mom and I went to some events in the village. My mother introduced me to all my relatives. All the families that no one wants to meet me first. But my mom always told me to forgive others. Let it be a matter of course he said.

"Wahhh karin is a great man"

Said one of my mother's brothers. Aunt Rida. The loudest man refused my arrival at his house when Mom was found guilty. I smiled at him.

"Today, help your brothers here, many children want success too. We are family"

Disgust. It used to be the least helpful, now act the most kinship. I'm not stupid.

"Success is from yourself aunty, if the original was lazy, until the amateurs will never succeed aunty"

Aunt Rida smiled wryly. Shame about his words.

"I said yes, come on"

Look, now he's walking around in a daze because of his shame. I can only laugh with satisfaction.

"Ayoo Karin, we're home"

"Ma, the electricity here is not good, right?"

The road we walked on was more like a forest. Limb and no lighting. If only there was a moon, it would be of little help, the more pitch black.

"Yes that's how it is son, his funds in official corruption. From the center already exists, but it never gets to this village."

I'm nodding. It has become an open secret. During my work, those things were very easy to find. All for money and office. People can do anything, especially if they just cut state funds.

"Yet....."

"Yeah ma?"

"Tomorrow will you visit your father?"

I'm speechless. It's been a long time since I've heard that. I never visited his grave again. Last time was his funeral, tomorrow I was in the parlor.

"Is mom ready?"

"Mama's ready if Karin's ready, anyway she's still your papa"

Mama was right too. There was never such a thing as an ex-child, but my father will always be my parent. Even though the wound he left behind still could not be lost from my memory.

"Yeah ma, Karin is going there tomorrow"

"Yes, tonight you must sleep well, don't think too much of your husband's business."

I'm nodding. Under this moon, I have been intent on never worrying about mas aditya. No matter what happens, my decision to part ways is right. Lana and Zayyen have to live happily after this, and so do I. There will be light after the storm. Soon I will find my happiness again.

"Where is Karin's mother? Maak go home yaa, Inara does not want to part with mas aditya."

"Mbak, if mbak Karin read Inara's message, Inara please if mbak is calm, let's meet mbak. We'll talk about it carefully. Mas Aditya since yesterday is careless, does not want to eat."

"We're waiting for Karin"

I exhaled my breath rough. A short message from Inara this morning kept me thinking. Is it too selfish of my decision? But it would be more selfish if I stayed.

"Let's go, kid, let's go now"

My mother was ready with some flowers in her hand. We'll visit papa today. Mama said the distance of the tomb and the house is only a few pounds. Only 10 minutes by car.

"Ma.later people who want to renovate the house have started working. We just moved to the city. We rent a house there. Just a while."

"Then my mom agrees. Provided not long. Mama's bored if there's no work."

"Mom want Karin working modalin not? I opened a cake shop. Mama's cakes are delicious"

"Aren't you overdoing it, son?"

"So, I also work for my mom, if not for my mom, who's this money for?"

"Partially during Karin's work, mama can have activities. Not bored"

"From papa's grave, we're ready. I'm going to the city this afternoon. Tomorrow Karin has a job"

Mama just nodded. I understand that my mother must have felt hard leaving the village. For me, the comfort of my mother and the happiness of her is my responsibility.

(Me)

"Sam, can you help me find an empty shophouse, right? If you could that old cake shop?"

(Samuel)

"For whom?"

(Me)

"Later you will know, please. Thanks"

(Samuel)

"Thank you not enough.hahaha"

"Come, son, it's papa's grave. Mama's done buying water"

I closed my phone. Mama is done buying fragrances. The tomb here is very clean and neat. Papa's grave is quite a bit to the middle. Understand it 25 years ago.

"Pa....Karin always doain papa so that all sins papa forgiven by God"

"Today and mama now live much happier lives."

I knew that it would take me a long time to forgive Papa. The man he used to love and in the end also took him to prison. But look at Mama now, she's trying to fight that hate. He kept teaching me how to respect my father. I hugged him tightly. The most precious treasure I have right now.

"Ayoo we go home ma, must leave immediately"

After the grave died, my mother and I immediately went home and cleaned up some of my clothes. The person who is going to renovate the house has contacted me several times. He said they were almost there. Tomorrow all will begin, for that house must be vacated the longest tonight.

"I beg for help sir"

"Bak calm down, one month at the earliest this house will be ready"

Said the chief contractor on duty today. Mom and I were in a hurry to leave. Fear of getting stuck again. The sky is already cloudy, prone to landslides.

(Samuel calling)

"Hello, where's Rin?"

"I'm still on the road"

"This is his house has been met, but for the Rukonya still waiting for info yes..."

"Yes, thank you Sam, you've helped"

"Yes, be careful on the road. I'm waiting here. The address I'll send ya"

"okay"

Phone connection disconnected. Samuel has managed to find the house that I will occupy with my mother.

"What's rin?"

"That's ma, the house is here, so we'll just go there"

"Alhamdulillah"
