The tears of Antika also shed. Now he knew how grievous his father was. And how difficult he was when left by his wife especially had to take care of his son alone.
Antika wonders why her mother would leave her. Yesterday when his mother met him at college, his mother only said that he had to divorce his father. And, Antika's father wouldn't let her take him. Where has her mother been all this time?
As usual, she cooked breakfast for her father. However, it looks intact until noon. Apparently dad left without breakfast. Antika feels guilty for reopening her father's old wounds.
Antika then prepares to go to campus. When he got near the highway, his mother stopped him.
"Antika, wait!" exclaiming the middle-aged woman turned her attention to the side of the road she was almost on.
"Mother!" peekik Antika immediately pulled off his motorcycle. He came down and approached his mother.
"Mothers. Assalamu'alaikum's chat. What's up, Mom?" tanyanya kissed the back of her mother's hand.
"Vaalaikumsalam. This is I'm cooking lunch that I made especially for you. Eat it!" he said while handing over a lunch bag in front of Antika.
"Thank you, Mom. Mom, can we talk to you for a second!" pinta Antika's.
For a moment he looked at his daughter. "Alright, come!"
Antika's mother got into her luxury car. Then, tell his driver to follow where Antika is going.
Not far from where it started, Antika then stopped in front of a cafe. He parked his motorbike and then immediately went down to meet his mother. He noticed his mother coming down the luxury car. He had no idea that he was born of such a woman. She looks beautiful and elegant even though she is no longer young.
Everything he wore was clear that it was expensive stuff. It is certain that his mother is a member of. Contrary to his life with his father who is quite simple.
They then entered the cafe together.
Antika noticed the look on her mother's face that looks happy when she is with him makes her feel loved.
"Mom, does mom's family know me?" tanya Antika opened her voice.
The smile on his mother's face faded. It is certain that mother must have kept her past a secret from her current family.
"Em, mom hasn't told them. But I promise you later if the time is right, I'll introduce you to the other mothers' children" he said.
"Yes, don't force it if it's hard for mom. I don't want to be a burden to you either. To know what my mother gave birth to me I am thankful!" antika.
"Antika, believe me that I love you very much. Even though we're in a faraway place, I always pray for you!" said Antika's mother with a wistful.
"Come, Ma. Ever since I was a child, I never knew what a mother's affection was like! The Antika knows only a nagging and rude father but I know that behind all that you love me so much!" said bitter.
Antika's mother began sobbing at the words of Antika who was very similar to her father. Always be blunt and what they are. It felt so painful to hear directly that his daughter was disappointed in him.
"Antika, I know you're guilty of it. You must feel like Mom could leave you. But, all that you had to do to help your parents."
"At first, I was pressed to divorce your father because of the insistence of Mom's parents. I know your parents were too much to treat your father when our economy was difficult. But my parents demand a lot of things. We ended up fighting a lot because your father couldn't provide for us. Mom's parents forced me to divorce your father."
"Mother turns out that Mom's parents are in deep debt to a wealthy merchant. Mother was forced to marry him in exchange for paying off my parents' debts. And, after getting married wherever the mother goes there will be bodyguards following. That's why I can't see you!"
"And now my husband is seriously ill, so I can see you. However, Mother's children, they do not know about the mother's past, because from the beginning the mother's husband forbids to tell stories about the mother's past. One day you'll be honest with them if the time is right!" said mother antika while sobbing.
Antika is now beginning to understand the difficult circumstances of her mother. He was also very sorry to hear his mother's story. His mother was not entirely wrong either. He had to do it by force. He had to exchange himself to pay off his parents' debts to a wealthy merchant. His mother also suffered.
"Mother, from now on we begin our new chapter. We don't have to force ourselves to be together. Mom stayed with my family and I stayed with my dad. Although not living together but we can still love each other and support each other. Whatever happens, you're still my mom!" antika said while holding the palm of his mother's hand.
"Thank you, honey. Because you understand the situation, Mother!"
"Yes, Mom! Antika has to go to college, ma'am. Next time we see each other again if you're free. What's mom's phone number?" Antika stuck her phone in front of her mother.
Antika's mother took Antika's mobile phone and immediately saved her contact and wrote her name.
My mother Purbasari.
"All right, sweetheart! If there's anything tell mom yes, son. I love you!" antika's mother said while returning her phone.
"Yes, Mom!" antika stood up and hugged her mother tightly. A single tear escaped from the corner of his eye. After that, he separated from his mother. Antika went to college and her mother went home.
