I LOVE YOU, ENCUS
Little Story


Mira and Andre put a tire on the front porch of his house. This small family without a father finally opened a loundry business at home. So that everyone can help each other. Mother also does not have to work from home to home washing clothes of neighbors who need her services.


Enough of the house, all under control. With the severance that Mira got, thank God all is enough to buy business equipment, such as washing machines and irons. Andre was part of the drop off and took clothes to be washed and ironed.


Andre also opened a tire patch business at home. The result is also good, can be to buy gasoline. So don't have to ask her mother or sister anymore.


The joy and happiness of the Mira family is very visible. They're so compact. Although the condition of Mira's hand has not recovered, but he can still help by doing light-weight only.


" Mommy, the laundry's in the sun. Mira takes clothes to Siti's house ya."


" Be careful." Mother's message when Mira stepped out of the house with a basket containing clothes that have been completed to be sent to the owner.


" Excuse me mom, this is the shirt done."


Bu Siti the owner of the house immediately rose from his seat with the mothers who were gathered on the porch of the house.


" How much is it all?" Ask Siti. Mira held out a note to Siti's mom as a proof of payment. After everything is done, Mira says goodbye. Not only on Siti's mother but also on the mothers who were there.


" Let's moms, I'm sorry." Pamit Mira with her friendly smile.


" Oh... Yeah." yeah."


" It's beautiful Mira, but unfortunately she was left married to her son, Ms. Hardi, what's her name....."


" Bobby, that handsome doctor tho. The same married his son, Mr. Slamet. Yes mending with his son, Mr. Slamet, wong, his son is also beautiful, the doctor also works. If Mira just wins pretty... Everywhere still won his son, Mr. Slamet."


Mira breathed, trying to patiently hear the whispers of neighbors who were still clearly heard by her ears.


He moved faster to get home. There's still a lot of work. Ironic indeed with the mothers who were gathered at the house of Siti's mother who seemed to have no work, so that she could still take care of other neighboring affairs. That's how it is if you have neighbors. The problem at home is not yet widespread, but already pretentious to take care of people's affairs.


Mira went into the house, put down the empty basket she had brought. Stack it up with the others.


Mom entered the house, seeing Mira was busy weighing on the clothes.


" Rest baby, aren't you tired?"


" Mom in a minute, bear it."


Mom lets Mira finish her job, forcing Mira to stop is a waste. As his mother, he understood the nature of his stubborn son.


" If you're done resting, I'll make your favorite mustard porridge."


Mira smiles to see her passing mother leaving her in the side room where the laundry opens.


" Andre, we'll rest first. I made porridge." Mira yelled at her sister who was patching a bicycle tire belonging to her neighbor.


That's how they are at home today. Simple but happy.


But Mira's worry about challenging her father who could come at any time made her feel anxious. He could not imagine it happening, given the ease with which his father found him, because he was in the house once occupied with his father as well.


" Mom, did you ever tell me?" Mira asked her mother as they gathered in the dining room to enjoy the mother-made porridge.


Mom shook her head, but still smiled "Maybe your father is happy." Said later.


" As you know, we got married because of your grandmother's betrothal. Maybe your father had to at that time."


" If you have to, what about your mother?" Mira changed asked.


" Mom didn't have a choice that time. Your grandmother raised your mother, so there's no harm in my mother returning her kindness. Your grandmother was very kind, willing to take care of a mother who at that time did not have parents. Mother's parents died in a landslide, mother is lucky to have survived because your grandmother helped you save yourself when the disaster came."


The atmosphere became silent without sound. Everyone is contemplating what happened to his mother.


" How can you marry your father?" Ask Mira.


" Your father came home after all these years. Grandma was worried about your old father, but not yet married." Mother was silent after saying that, choosing words to convey the past she was supposed to tell her children.


" But it turns out that after we got married, the night your father told the truth that he was married." Say mother.


" Is his wife also the woman he is now with?" Ask Andre. Mother nodded.


" They love each other. Mother feels guilty for being the destroyer of their marriage. But your grandmother could not accept the marriage your father did secretly. Disappointed with your father, your grandmother separated them."


" What about my mother then?" Ask Mira.


" Mom asked your father to come back with his wife. But it's all too late. After giving birth, his wife left your father. So you go back and ask for a referral with mom."


" That means we have another brother from one father's wife?" Ask Andre. Mom nodded again.


But Mira goes silent in silence considering that Andre's brother from his first wife is himself and Sigit.


" Have you ever met them?" Ask Mira later. Putting aside the weight in his heart, so that his mother does not suspect that he already knows all the truth.


" Mom met them, shortly before I parted with your father for the second."


" Why did you leave your mother?"


" Because your father still loves his wife and his son."


" Are we not fathers? Why did you leave us and choose them?"


Mother was silent again. It's so hard to tell the truth that she conceived Andre by mistake.


During her marriage, her father never touched her mother. But because that night the father was angry because the grandmother who remained persistent wanted him to part with his first wife, the father became confused and eventually even vent anger at Santi's mother mixed with drunken conditions, so it happened that should happen. After the incident that night, a few weeks later Santi's mother was declared pregnant and Andre was born.


And another reality that makes Santi's mother disappointed is, it turns out that the father is not really separated from his wife. They remained together even in front of the grandmother claiming to have separated. For the sake of a baby that was taken by the grandmother when the father's first wife gave birth. And from there, Santi's mother learned the lies of her husband.


Santi's mother took care of the child that her grandmother brought with her affection, however she was her husband's child. Many times Santi's mother told her husband to bring the child back to his wife. But her husband said that his wife did not know that his one child was still alive. At that time after birth, the grandmother took the baby girl who was still in the baby's room secretly. Separate from his other brother. At that time, his wife gave birth to twins. Because when giving birth to his first wife in a coma, then he was confused how to explain it about the other baby that his grandmother had brought after the wife realized. So the father had to say that the boy was dead.


His first wife was disappointed, too disappointed. She blames her husband and leaves him with her surviving child.


Without realizing that the divine secret will bring them together in the future in an unexpected way.


That's life. Man can plan, but if God says it happens, it happens, if God says something else. Then we can only accept His will, although sometimes we ourselves are difficult to accept. But one thing we must realize, God's plan will be beautiful in time.
