Marrying Sergeant Major
Epilogue
One week after caesarean, I was able to do light activity. Obviously, Bima forbade me to do all the homework. My mother who does not work always comes every two days to check my condition, while my mother who deliberately took an annual leave of absence for two weeks, staying at my house to help care for my baby.
There is also mbak Nining who has been pulled by mas Bima to help me do all the homework. Mas Bima was too anxious if he had to take a new ART from the Agency, so on the advice of papi and also mami, mbak Nining was on the oper to work at our home.
"Bi, Jim said there was Gesya outside the gate" said the mother. I was sunbathing beside the pool with my baby reflexively looking up, scanning the face of the mother who was already standing in front of me. "What do you want to get in?"
"Send to come in ma'am"
"But son, what if he does evil"
"God willing" There was a smile on my lips as I said that.
"Yes, my mother went to Jim's to tell him to open the gate"
"Thank you ma'am" My smile again developed, it was so that my mother was more convinced that the arrival of Gesya indeed had sincere intentions.
After about ten minutes, the mother came with a woman who always looked beautiful at the age of twenty-nine years. She is so elegant in knee-length fashion, combined with a light brown cardigan. His hair is long and made somewhat curly, adding to his aura the more clearly radiated.
"Assalamu'alaikum" he said a little hesitantly.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" I answered with a smile. My baby who was on my lap immediately squirmed maybe he respected the presence of someone.
"Sit Gey"
"Thank You Bi"
I smiled again to say yes.
This woman is sitting in front of me. In the chair I used to hold my leg, two chairs without a table because the mother was the one who shifted it while the table was next to the lounge chair that is usually used in Bima mas for selonjoran when finished swimming. I used to call it a sun chair.
"How are you, Bi?"
"Thank God I am good, you alone? How's your wound?"
"It's healed Bi, only my legs are still a little limp because it still feels a little pain"
"Sorry for the attitude of Bima"
"Why apologize, I should apologize to you. I'm sorry Bi, I'm sorry, I'm in control of the flames of anger, the flames of jealousy, and also vengeance. I apologize profusely, and I'm ready to go to jail"
"I've forgiven you, Gey! Now it's my turn to apologize for my attitude and Bima mas that I did not intentionally, which makes you feel hurt. I'm sorry that Bima's made you hurt to go to the hospital"
"It's okay Bi, it's natural that Bima mas do that, I'm the one who almost made the woman he loves destroyed"
"Well, let's forgive each other, let's forget the past, and make a beautiful friendship" I said sincerely.
"Please Bi, and as my promise, I will improve myself while I stay in prison, I will get out of there with a better Gesya"
"Yes"
Mas Bima had reported it to the police about two days ago, and Gesya had received his report letter. He was just waiting days for a police checkup.
"I brought a lot of stuff for your baby Bi, please accept yes, I asked Jim to leave my car"
"Why bother, Gey?"
"No hassle, I'm happy to buy something for your son and Bima mas" he said with a sparkling face. "By the way, Lala's school?"
"Yes, Gey"
"The school where she was, I asked Lisa's mother to go between Naura, she said Lala had gone to class and had to go to Kindergarten"
"Yes, Bima mas registered him in RA owned by his grandfather, incidentally RAnya will be close to the workplace of Bima mas, and still in the neighborhood of his grandmother's house and ponpes, so if the Bima mas is late to pick up, he can play games with Cia or his grandson Pak dhe Haidar"
"If not wrong, one of the names of his grandson Mr. Haidar Lantern is not Bi?"
"Yes Gey"
"Hana used to take me there, when she was three years old, now it must have been big"
"It's fourth grade" I said, while the woman in front of me nodded her head.
"Anything is so big?" Gesya looked down at my son, his hands touching the tiny hands of the baby I named Ryusang Juna Anggara.
The baby who indirectly made Gesya admit his mistakes and regret his actions.
A baby boy who can change a woman who hates her mother.
I'm sure, Ryu will bring kindness and happiness to our family.
Almost an hour I and Gesya chatted and chatted to the extent that, we had changed seats because the sunbathing session was long enough, finally Gesya said goodbye. He hugged me before he left my house.
A haru hug that never existed in my imagination. I thought we would continue to be hostile, but my guess was wrong because he decided he wanted to have a good relationship with me. The relationship that he has been doing since my gestational age is only four months. Mas Bima thought at that time Gesya was just pretending, but I never thought it was so. Now, I'm pretty sure he never pretended.
The woman was sincere, and had completely changed.
****
Just an hour ago Gesya left, I have another guest coming.
No wonder, since I got out of the hospital two days ago, guests have come to change. Both my coworkers, and also Bima's coworkers or I can call Ardhya Garini, not the wives of the TNI, especially AU. Their goal was of course to look at my newborn baby into the world.
"Bu Hana comes ma'am" concluded mas Jim. "in the book what is not?"
"Bukain aja mas, then immediately tell into the middle room"
"Good ma'am" Mas Jim immediately came out of the living room.
A few minutes later, Hana appeared with her twin boys, who were about three years old.
The woman smiled as she stepped into the living room.
"Mom Hana!"
I got up and we hugged.
"Since when have you been here, ma'am?"
"So morning Bi, a short break at the hotel kept coming straight here"
"Why stay at a hotel? Not at Gesya's house?"
"No Bi, I am angry with him because of his behavior towards you and Bima. Sorry my sister Bi"
"It's okay mbak, he came. If Mbak Hana came about an hour ago, chances are I'll see you here"
The woman I had granted sat down for a few seconds then snorted violently while shaking her head. I read that her two sons were looking around at Ryu who was in the baby box.
"I didn't think the same Gesya Bi. That moment, he's onto you"
Smiling, I glanced back at the children.
"But I'm proud of him, but his guts to admit that his actions in front of his father Lala were amazing. She was prepared with the consequences for her honesty, I was also grateful" I said lowered my gaze staring at my fingernails that I dyed in gray. Just color my nails while I don't pray. "This incident, made him change and put an end to our hostility"
"Once again forgive my sister Bi"
"I've forgiven him, I've forgotten what he did"
There was silence after I said that, he got up and walked a few steps towards the baby box.
"Bi's very handsome"
"Yes, just like Lala who looks a lot like her father"
"True Bi, the same nose eyes Bima mas really. Lala bang. People who don't know, must think that they're one mother"
I smiled in response to Hana. Even though she doesn't know my smile because her eyes are focused on my baby.
"Oh yes, Bi" The woman came back to me and sat down at the place.
"I came here, in addition to apologizing for my sister and swabbing your baby, I also wanted to say something"
Hearing Hana's serious-looking sentence, my forehead reflexes frowned.
"The next day I was going to catch up with my husband to Europe, he set up a business there" He paused his sentence and bowed.
His attitude was a trick of seconds made my heart thrash.
"We'll settle there, Bi"
"Will Hana take Lala?" gamang tanyaku.
Instead of directly answering, Mbak Hana instead threw a smile that made her look more beautiful.
"I'm going to hand Lala over to you"
"I mean Hana?" My face may have changed.
His gaze fixedly looked at me, while my heart was getting noisier in there.
"Although I'm the one who gave birth to Lala, but you've sacrificed a lot for her. You sacrificed your time, energy and outpouring of love for my daughter. From now on do not ever consider yourself a connecting mother, because from this moment on, I affirm and I give up my responsibilities as Lala's biological mother to you. He's your son Bi, your real son. Your darling even exceeds her own birth mother"
I was stunned by his words.
"I trust Lala with you, I'm sure she'll be happy because you always give her happiness"
"She's my priority mbak, I'm even more concerned with Lala than myself"
"I believe Bi. Thank you for giving me the affection I never gave Lala"
"Don't thank me, Lala's my daughter. It is the duty of a mother to give love to her children"
"You're right Bi"
"But I have a message" I said seriously. "never break the silahturahmi with Lala, however, you have a strong blood relationship, no ex-child, or ex-mom, either, so even if you're far apart, at least communicate with each other on the phone"
"That must be Bi, I'll call your phone often to ask Lala. But considering how lazy Lala was talking to me, I'm sorry I never called Lala for long"
"I hope you understand, he's still a child, when he's an adult, he'll know"
"Sure Bi" We both smiled.
"I'm sure your upbringing must have been very good, so I don't have to worry about Lala. He's been under proper hand care"
"God willing"
We smile at each other again.
At length we talk, Mbak Hana also say goodbye.
**
At night, Bima who locked herself in her room because of anger, I continued to persuade her to eat.
He was angry because I called Bagas to revoke all Bima's reports on Gesya. Mas Bima still did not accept that Gesya was released from punishment. But because my man had no other choice, he agreed to my request because there was no other choice.
"Feed first, it's past eight"
"I'm not hungry Bi" he answered flatly from inside the guest room whose door he locked from the inside.
"Mas can be mad at me, but can't be mad at food. I have to eat"
"I told you I'm not hungry"
I don't know what he was doing in the guest room, the room he was in while my mother was sleeping in our room to keep me company.
"A little bit of a mas"
No, Bi. You better shut up"
Sighing for a long breath, I placed the tray on top of the cupboard that was only about my stomach. I grabbed a tissue and wrote a message there.
Honey, eat it!
After writing the message I called Nining who was passing by me.
"Ning"
"Yes ma'am" he said kindly.
"Please put this tissue into the room through the gap under the door. I can't squat about it yet"
"Good ma'am" Nining immediately put in the tissue that I had folded with a little throw.
After five seconds, the paper was precisely returned to be thrown from the inside by the Bima mas.
"Because the same Mr. Bima bu"
"It's okay, I'll write again"
Silence, a few seconds.
"Feed in again ya Ning"
Niningpun back to my. I'm sure Bima is reading my message.
I love you Lala and Ryu's father, I can't live without you, I love you. Really-love you.
But I again swallowed disappointed that the tissue was coming back to me again.
"Well, come back again ma'am" It seems that apart from me, Nining is also disappointed. "Write again mom, spirit"
"Huffs.. Alright"
I quickly wrote the third message.
If you don't want to open the door, all right, I'll ask you to pack my clothes, I'll come with you to stay at her house. One thing you need to know. I always loved mas.
See you, I'm leaving....
"Throw again Ning" I ordered while folding his fist.
"Ready ma'am" replied Nining.
"You can go straight to Ning"
"Yes yes ma'am"
One minute later, Bima opened the door immediately, I who was standing next to the door was not realized by Bima mas. He just glared at me while yelling my name, but deftly I grabbed his wrist and turned his back.
"I'm here, mas"
The man who was now clinging so tightly to my body breathed a sigh of relief.
"You know I can't live without you? Don't say it's gonna go, I'm gonna go crazy later"
"We go into the room"
I immediately brought Bima's mas into the guest room that was opened by her, not forgetting to close it again.
"I love you" my frog raised his head as he wrapped his hands around his waist.
"Don't woo Bi"
Ignoring it I went back to saying those three words but this time in Indonesian.
"I love mas"
"You know I love you too" I nodded without hesitation.
"I love you too Bi" Reply and we both smiled before we kissed.
My great man, I know that he can never be mad at me.
