🌸Pov Ody🌸
Valencia ran and disappeared behind the wall. I who was still looking at him was surprised by the question of Ms. Nani.
"You know him??" asked Bu Nani with a look of wonder.
Both me and my mom, we looked at each other as if we were asking who would answer that question.
"Ng,, anu jeng,, he's that,, mmm,, my ex-daughter-in-law. My son's ex-wife. Ody." mama's a little uncomfortable saying it.
"What's? Really it?" now Ms. Nani's view is directed at me.
"True aunt." I replied without any intention of covering up anything from my past.
"Oh, so you're the man who made her regret so much that she made a terrible mistake until she lost her mind and felt there was no way out." cetus ma'am Nani who makes me a little confused.
Valencia?? Regretting his actions? Stress though?? Not finding a way out?? Did ya??
"Let's just go in. Aunt tell me inside. Come on jeng."
Both me and my mom looked back and complied when the owner of the house let me in. I still wonder where Valencia went. Why did he avoid?
"Please." mom Nani let us sit down.
"Thank you jeng." mama handed me over and then asked Birru from my sling.
It seems that mama wants to make me more free to talk to Ms. Nani.
"Is this the Birru that you told me about, huh?" bu Nani plays Birru's hand which welcomes her with a carefree laugh.
"Yes jeng. My granddaughter who I told you about the other day." said the mother proudly introducing Birru as her granddaughter regardless of what kind of history Birru created.
"His handsome. Like her father." praise Bu Nani while glancing at me.
"The mother is also very beautiful Jeng. This is even her face is actually more dominant now."
"Oh yeah?? Jeng must have felt complete life jeng now yes."
Tubs tipper together, chatter and base stale mother mother began to intertwine. Until I forgot that there was me waiting for an explanation from Ms. Nani as promised earlier. No one saw me struggling to think of Valencia still hiding somewhere. I was curious about her life story all this time after hearing Nani's words earlier.
I looked at Mama looking for approval in that pair of neutrals.
"If if Nani doesn't mind, maybe tell me first how Valencia can be with jeng." mama didn't answer my gaze but instead asked Ms. Nani.
"Oh that, yes, I can." mom Nani seemed to catch her breath before telling her.
"Know I've never been married. And of course I don't have any children either. I have also lived abroad for a long time. Then I came back here not long ago to continue managing my mother's orphanage."
Mama understood the story. It is fitting that Ms. Nani does not know who Valencia is because she lives abroad. Unlike other friends of mama's friends who definitely know which one is your daughter-in-law.
"That night, on my way from the airport upon my arrival in Indonesia, I found Valencia by the side of the road. Suicide jump off the bridge."
Until there I gawked.
Valencia, who never felt like there was no way or fun out there for him to get to the point of committing suicide??? Cook anyway???
"Luckily I managed to persuade him and take him home with me. He was very worried at the time. Camping tattered clothes. Skinny body. Many cuts on his hands. It seems he was addicted to drugs. He also had bleeding in the int*timnya."
If that one I am not surprised to remember the free life of Valencia and before being with me also he had time to get to that point. The pleasure of changing partners may also make it until bleeding. No wonder how hard their game is.
"It took me a long time to get her to talk. Until finally he wanted to tell her all the ways of his life. He said he regretted wasting his loving husband. He regretted betraying her many times. She regretted having lifted her womb just because she did not want to be bothered by a child even though her husband really wanted a child. He also regretted hurting his nephew Nada. He said he should have been a good surrogate parent but he hurt him."
My heart ached to hear it,, the old scratch wound gaped back and sore.
"He tried to find you to apologize but he lost track of you. He also ran out of money until he was forced to peddle himself to anyone who wanted to pay him to be able to buy a bite of rice. Because impressed to survive that makes the buyers run. Finally, he often gets various rough treatment from his buyers. He was often tortured while serving them."
No tears in the corner of my eyes. The woman I loved so much at that time seemed to have suffered so much without me.
"Later he also just found out that he had uterine cancer afterwards. All of this made his life feel ruined. The moral burden of evil and bad deeds in the past has been very heavy for him and is still coupled with the burden of the disease. Valencia is not strong. He was fragile and thought everything was broken. He chose death to end his suffering and burden. He pierced his own piercing organ*tim with the object somehow it was bloody blood to want to die quickly. Until I found him that night. I also took him for treatment even though I knew that cancer was difficult to cure. Well but it could at least suppress his cell growth."
Bu Nani paused for a moment to take a breath. He also decided to drink water first.
"Valencia agreed to come with me. He's my adopted son now. I am proud of him who decided to move. Seek God's forgiveness while there is still age. Now it's more time for worship and spent with the children of the orphanage. She said, to make amends for her ex-husband. She hoped, in the future, her ex-husband could forgive her if he saw her love a child."
Ms. Nani took her cup back while I couldn't help but hold back. I got up and rushed to Valencia.
"Ody!!!" screeched mama but I ignored her, I was too eager to meet the woman I loved so much in those days.
My footsteps stopped looking at the scene in front of me. Valencia is being mobbed by children who look spoiled and affectionate to him. Although the face was not able to show a smile but his body language can be read.
Valencia looks motherly,, he's really in the process. He showed his earnestness in seeking your forgiveness, Lord,,,
