THORNS
“You think it's easy to talk to your kids like that? You think you can attract their hearts and love? They hate it the same way you know!” the host said. He asked Gultom today to meet himself at a coffee place owned by people from their tribe so that a loud noise for fellow visitors was commonplace/ Because the loud noise is not necessarily angry for the people of Medan. If the unusual heard later they thought they were fighting even though at that time the opung was advising Gultom loudly and using Batak language.
“What's the Host?” replied Gultom did not understand, just came already sprayed his mother.
“You told Butet that you only loved his mother and loved them both.” Gultom host
“Honest wak, they hate it?” gultom asked confusedly.
“Yes they hate because they feel you're a liar!”
“Please describe Host. Where's the lie?” Gultom still did not understand what his mistake was.
“If you only love them and their mother, why do you have two other wives and why is there your son the Marry. That's Icha, not Tarida. You can imagine that little boy hating you because you lied!”
“I don't love my ex-wife and I never care about Marry, ” replied Gultom honestly.
“That's what they don't understand, that they know getting married is out of love then you say you just love them turns out to have another wife and have another child. You love those people too. You are lying!”
“Well I'll tell Tarida and Theresia that I married Pricilla and Niken it without love!” gultom said lightly without burden.
Gultom's dead step. Just this time he was wrong because he was usually always accompanied by Sondang when talking to children. Now he speaks for himself even the children catch him with their innocence.
“You've ruined their trust in a man's love. Sondang will take them to a psychiatrist because they do not believe there is a servant of God who is playing with the bond of marriage. They don't believe anyone swears allegiance to God but lies! And sadly that person is their own father.”
“If you see their angry and hurt faces, I'm sure that whenever that face will haunt your life. Remember you have 4 daughters. God will definitely repay him to your descendants!” host says.
“Psychiatrist?” ask Gultom not to believe it. He has written a path full of thorns for his own daughters. He did not expect, his actions severely injured his two little girls.
Opung left his son. He deeply regretted Gultom's actions that hurt the hearts of his two grandchildren.
Gultom immediately remembered Sondang's last message when they parted ways in court after the judge tapped his hammer if they had officially divorced.
“Don't put a thorn in my path, who knows one day you'll come looking for me barefoot!”
Gultom did not understand what his ex-wife's words meant. Now he's conscious. He was hit by the consequences of his actions of putting thorns along the way. Right now all those thistles are poking the soles of the feet and penetrating into his heart.”
IT'S POIGNANT!
