Ex-Husband Love
19. Kinasih and his past.
The journey this time was slower. Feeling impatient because it is too long for the Father and Mother, making Wita continue to review smiles imagining he will meet with Father and Mother.
Kelan unceasingly laughed merrily, remembering that soon he would be indulged in his grandmother and grandfather.
In the past, this kind of atmosphere made Kelan miss every time.
"Ma, later when you get to the grandmother's house, Kelan wants to invite grandfather to play kites again on the edge of the river," said the child suddenly.
"Surely, Kelan won't go fishing anymore? If you go out with Grandpa, you are not tired. If kite, Kelan certainly likes to run," said Wita.
Usually, Kelan will always complain at night after playing kites with the father. Not infrequently, the grandmother who volunteered to give her best massage for Kelan.
"Looks can be blind early in the morning. In the past, Papa always went fishing if Kelan same grandfather went to the big river," said Kelan suddenly. The six-year-old boy's smile faded away instantly. I don't know, it feels like Wita can't afford to see her son, also disappointed with her household.
The change in the look of Kelan's face, made Wita smile ironically. That woman really can't let Kelan keep this up.
"Don't think too much about Papa. Later if we return to the capital, there must be time alone to play with Papa again, right?" tanya Wita tried to cheer Kelan up.
"Yes. Ma, soon Kelan's seventh birthday. Can Mama and Papa celebrate Kelan's birthday together?" ask Kelan.
"Mama and Papa will talk about this. Kelan can definitely celebrate his birthday with Mama and Papa. But maybe, it won't be as lively as it used to be, will it?" wita reminded.
Kelan simply nodded, then focused on the view outside the bus window. Trees on the side of the road, seemed to be lined up all the way to Wita's father's house. Someone who is now a role model Wita, has been disappointed. Wita realized, maybe soon the Father and Mother will give his advice as usual.
Given this, Wita sighed stifled.
In the past, he and Andika had promised both parents, to nurture Kelan well together. In addition, the last time Wita visited the Father while still with Andika, the Father asked him and Andika made another grandchild for him.
Even Wita's parents, Ruslan and Asmah hoped that Wita had many children as Kelan's brothers. Understandably, Wita is the only child that makes her have no siblings at all.
Perhaps, Wita did want something beyond his destiny, to make many people hurt.

A middle-aged woman sits in a wheelchair, with coughs accompanying her every day. The woman sat in a wheelchair, with her frail body always wearing a jacket. His life seemed to be on the brink of death for a little while longer, however, he would not give up before his daughter actually got a sincere man who could take care of her.
Kinasih, commonly called Asih, is a one-child mother who has now entered the early age of half a century. The woman used to have a pretty good life, with an understanding husband, a prosperous economy, and also her husband's first wife who received it very well, and sincerely as well.
But unfortunately, Kinasih deliberately left his good life, because he felt he did not deserve to be in the middle of the Ruslan family, and his first wife, Asmah.
Now, Asih is engulfed in endless confusion and fear. One that makes him feel unwilling if he has to die quickly, namely the fate of his daughter who no one can take care of him.
Sitting in front of his house this time. His gaze was nyalang facing the blue sky, which was soon definitely decorated with a reddish glow sheen on the western horizon.
The woman felt unworthy, being in the midst of the Ruslan family, because she married Ruslan only because of a will. Both Ruslan and Asmah, they had an equally great love, though they accepted the presence of Asih well.
"How are you doing there, Ruslan, ma'am Asmah? I miss you, I want to meet you. But I don't have any face to go back to you guys. But if I don't go back to you, who will take care of our daughter, Ruslan? Are you healthy there? Wita, Deswita must have found the right man and can take care of him. But not with my son here" said Asih, closing his eyes.
Asih should have stayed alive alongside Ruslan and Asmah, serving the two good guys just as her late ex-husband wanted her to stay awake. But Asih can't. I don't know why Asih felt like a bad third person, even though the couple received it well.
Here, Asih is sickly. He worked too hard when he was young, for the sake of his life with the princess better.
To the point where his daughter grew up well, got a decent education, and had her own home as a result of hard work, this is where the tough body that used to work hard was, start to feel sick and sick.
The woman's gaze was fixed on a motorbike driven by a woman. Asih's eyes narrowed, guessing that the woman was his daughter.
Smile, let the twinkle of his eyes show happiness.
"Mother . . "greet the woman with her cherry. Although his life is no better than before, but the Asih princess is so patient and accepts all the destiny of God. The woman's heart, softened over time, is not as pampered and selfish as before.
What Asih's daughter had experienced the past few months, gave her a little maturity.
"You're coming?" ask Asih.
"Yes. Sorry just came, I can't speed. Tau himself, right, I'm gini again," replied the woman, while parking her motorbike beside the pasih, in the yard of her house.
"You better slow down. But next time, you do not bring a motorbike again, you should use public transportation or whatever it is so that you are safer," said Asih.
"Yes. Mom just calm down. Oh yes, this, I brought the medicine and favorite food of Mother," said Asih's daughter.
"thank you. Oh yeah, let's go in. There's something I want to talk about, and I want you to show me according to Mom's promise," Asih asked her daughter.
"About Dad?" ask the princess.
"Yes, this is about Dad, according to what I promised you when you were a teenager. It's time you found out about Mom's past, Amira Widani," said Kinasih with a voice choked in her throat.
When Asih left Ruslan, Amira was too small at the time.
It's time, Amira knew the truth.
