Love Above the Wounds
The Right Decision

After Ms. Romlah said goodbye to her place, Dicky seemed to be stunned in her room, thinking about what Ms. Romlah said, listening to every outpouring of her heart.

Mom Romlah used to be a bitch, a bully and always undermining Dicky's eyes, but now, seeing a mother's tears, Dicky's heart is broken, feeling what a mother's heart feels.

Fitri, who saw her husband's anxiety, approached her, rubbing Dicky's back gently, as if giving her inner peace.

"Mas Dicky must still be thinking about Miss Romlah huh?" asked Fitri who then sat next to him.

"Yes Fit, all this time I was not aware, had snatched a child from a mother, it turns out that being a foster parent does not always stay under one roof!" answer Dicky.

"What does Dicky mean?" ask Fitri.

"We can still pay for Dina and Dara school, giving her allowance and other necessities, without having to ask her to stay with us, pity Ms. Romlah, he doesn't even have anyone anymore!" said Dicky.

"But the adoption letter that Mr. Adi made, how?" ask Fitri.

"What is the meaning of a letter on paper, compared to the longing of a Mother, tomorrow we must return them to Miss Romlah!" answer Dicky.

"But we must give them understanding first, so that they do not misunderstand and assume we throw it away!" sahut Fitri's.

"Yes, tomorrow we will give them an explanation, hopefully they will understand!" dicky said as he began to lay his body on his bed.

"Yes, it just so happens that tomorrow is Saturday, the kids are off school, actually I can't bear to return them to Miss Romlah, but maybe it's for the common good!" sahut Fitri's.

They then begin to close their meta, though Dicky still thinks of Dina and Dara.

When morning came, there was a noise from behind. The newly bathed and dressed Fitri quickly walked towards the bottom.

"Basic children do not know themselves! It's been a good life waking up early in the morning is hard!! Especially when asked to work!" sulk Bu Eni.

"What's the matter Mom, it's been a storm early in the morning?" ask Fitri.

"Look at the behavior of your adopted child! About the holidays they do not want to wake up and help people home, even play online games in the room, what is difficult to help flush flowers in the park, count sports, this is even denied, this is even denied, he said to me what's flush flowers people have already flush!" said Bu Eni.

"Yes, let me reprimand them later, Mother please take care of Alex for a moment yes, today Mas Dicky and I have a need!" fitri said as he passed from that place.

He then began to walk towards Dina and Dara's room, the two children seemed to be engrossed in playing online games while laughing cheerfully, while enjoying a snack on the bed that looks messy.

"Dina, Dara!" call Fitri. They turned their heads and immediately sat down from their lying position.

"Eh, Mama, tumben's coming here!" said Dina.

"Have you taken a shower yet?" ask Fitri. Dina and Dara shook their heads.

"You've woken up since then why not take a shower and not leave the room? Besides learning so much you can do, why even play games in the room??" ask Fitri.

"Surely Grandma who has been complaining to Mama, you granny chatty!" cetus Dina's.

"Dina! Watch mouth! It's only natural that if Grandma asks for your help, will you spend your time like this? Play games, eat snacks, sleep, eat, without doing anything useful!" fierce Fitri.

"Now you go out and wait for Mama in the living room, there's something you and Mama want to talk to you about!" fitri said as he passed away leaving their room.

Dina and Dara then immediately came out of their room and sat in the living room of the house.

Soon Dicky and Fitri also appeared and sat in the room, in front of Dina and Dara.

"Dina, Dara, have you eaten?" ask Dicky.

"Not Pa!" answer them simultaneously.

"Later after this, you eat right away!" Dicky's Word.

"Yes Pa!"

"Son, you know what a mother wants for her child?" ask Dicky. Dina and Dara shook their heads.

"A mother longs to be close to her child, her mother Papa used to be so, her longing just wants to be close to her child, but baby, now she is dead!" continued Dicky.

"True Dina, Dara, Miss Romlah is your real mother, she is also like other Mother Mothers, there is no Mother who does not love her child!" timpal Fitri's.

"So, regarding your education and your future, Papa still bears it, you are still our foster children, but, only your Mother has the right to live with you!" dicky said.

"So, Papa want to get us out of here??" ask Dina.

"Who said throw out? You can play here with Alex, Papa just doesn't want to take away your Mother's rights, so you can learn to be humble and not arrogant!" answer Dicky.

Dina and Dara fell silent, they lowered their heads and their eyes started to tear up.

"You remember no? When you were told to busk in the streets with your mother? Not because your mother was evil to you, but because of the economic necessity that forced her to do so, but now that your mother has had the effort, you have to help your Mother's efforts, you have to help your mother's efforts, to move forward and succeed!" fitri.

"Now, you eat first, after that pack your things and clothes, this afternoon Papa will take you home to your Mother's house!" said Dicky.

"No want! I don't want to go home!" cetus Dina's.

"Me too! I just want to stay here!" timpal Dara's.

"Dina, Dara! Why don't you go home to your mother's?? He misses you, he wants to be close to you, do you understand??" ask Fitri.

"But .. we don't want to stay there, it doesn't taste good Ma, it's cramped and the bed is not good, the food is not good either!" dara Whine.

"You must remember Dara, you used to live in a slum that was even narrower and crowded, now your mother has a grocery store, even though she lives in a store upstairs, as long as you can always get together with your mother, it is a happy thing, you must learn to be grateful!" fitri.

"It will be your challenge to learn more, so that someday you will be able to make a good home for your mother, Papa promises never to forget you, he said, because you're still Papa's foster children who always Papa dear!" dicky said as he stroked the hair of the two who started crying.
