AAI 75 - Humanity

"Where are you going, Mas?" Gita asked as she saw her sister walking towards the exit. Galih stopped, then he looked at the beautiful face of Gita who was still filled with tears.

"I don't want to be here anymore, Gita. I can't stand all this" said Galih. The longer he was in the house, the more he felt tight. As soon as he recalled the painful events that happened in the house. He wanted to heal his wounds by going far away from there.

"Then what about him, Mom? Poor," asked Gita as she glanced at Agus who was trying to get up from his place. Gita wanted to help the man, but what power. He is more afraid of his brother if he acts without his consent.

"Leave it, Gita. Never help that man. Let him try to get up on his own. If it wasn't for you, I would have thrown him and his woman into prison." said Galih, who can only be taken by the Gita. His sympathy for Hesti had disappeared. Let alone to talk, just staring at Galih was no longer willing.

"Where are you going, Galih? P-please forgive the mother," pinta by prostrating at the child's feet. Her world was shattered, even more devastated when she saw her husband die. He hugged Galih's body and asked her for forgiveness. But he did not have the courage to do so.

"It's none of your business. Come, Gita. We leave here" said Galih, pulling his brother's hand. There is no way she could have left Gita alone with her mother. Especially considering the scars that Gita has, making Galih seem to want to tear the woman apart. But he could still restrain himself, just because he was the one who brought him birth in this world.

"Ma-mas? Wait, first. Where are we going, Mom? How's mom?" Ask Gita.

"According, Gita. Let him live alone, and contemplate all his faults. You don't have to take care of people who don't love you. I won't let you live with him. I don't want you to be the next victim. Come on," said Galih, withdrawing Gita's hand. But the Gita clean hard, he still did not move from where he stood.

"Listen to me first, Mom. Don't be like this, how can I leave my mother alone at a time like this? I can't bear it, Mas. Let me stay here, will you?" Gita Pinta.

Although in him he felt disappointed with the mother, but he could not do anything but accept everything as a destiny that God wrote for him. The argument is not over with the Gita. After all the crimes of the mother were revealed, but the girl still wanted to accompany the mother even though she also got bad treatment from him.

"Look, your son. Even though he has hurt your body and soul, in fact he still wants to be here with you. Open those eyes, Mom. Still want you to hurt him, huh?" Desis Galih to Hesti who was still as unwilling. Hesti could only cry hearing every word Galih said to him. He felt as if he had opened his eyes to make the woman feel so guilty.

'Oh my God, what have I been doing all this time? Is this the karma I have to accept? Hated by children and exiled from the world?' inner Nesti. He no longer had the face to look at the outside world. He felt contempt for himself.

"I'm sorry mom, Gita. I'm sorry," Hesti hugged Gita's leg. Gita who saw that immediately crouched down and pulled the body of Nesti from her legs. He hugged his mother and shed his tears.

"Already, Mom. Don't cry anymore, Gita has forgiven me." The two hugged each other tightly. This was the first time Gita had felt such a real embrace of Hesti to her. All this time he was too afraid of Hesti and only shook hands if he was going anywhere.

Galih shed tears seeing the two women of different ages who were hugging it. He turned around, not wanting to look at the two any longer. He could not, on the other hand he wanted to join and embrace each other, on the other hand he still felt betrayed and disappointed by his mother with all that had happened.

"Well, if that's your decision, then I can't prevent it. Take care of him, I'll go." After saying that, Galih rushed out of the house.

After the departure of Galih, Gita turned to invite the mother to rise from there. He drove Hesti to his room. After taking care of her mother, it was Gita's turn to meet the man who was her biological father. He saw Agus still trying to get up from the floor. His body looks limp and holds on to the walls of the house.

'She really is my daughter. God, why did I realize just now how similar this girl is to me? I'm sorry, son. Forgive your father for this, ' the inner Agus wept over his destiny.

Agus' tongue seemed mute, he could only obey when Gita helped him walk towards the sofa that was there. After helping Agus sit down, Gita picks up his phone. He called the doctor to come check on Agus's condition which looked severe.

"Well, I'm waiting for her to arrive, doc. Thank you," the call ended. While waiting for the doctor to arrive, Gita heads to the kitchen. But not yet step away, the voice of Agus stopped him.

"Thank you, Son. You're very kind. I'm sorry, that..." Not even Agus finished his speech, Gita's voice stopped him.

"I am just fulfilling my humanity seeing the situation of others who need my help" Gita interjected Agus' words. Then the girl left the man there. Agus stared at the departure of the princess who did not think it existed.

'Forgive your father, Gita. Father will make amends for the father who has abandoned you all along.' Agus' inner cry.

Fifteen minutes later a male doctor came and examined Agus. The blood that had once adorned Agus' face had now disappeared. There are several plasters covering the wound due to bogeman from Galih. Gita observed it from afar, she had also made a glass of warm tea for Agus. Although the brother prevented him from helping Agus, but his mother's sense of strength made him decide to call a doctor to help clean his wound.

"It's done. Here's the cure, don't forget to drink it and apply the ointment." The doctor said, re-inserting his equipment.

"Thank you, doctor." Unintentionally both Agus and Gita thanked the doctor simultaneously. The two looked at each other, then Gita immediately cut off her gaze. He went and took the doctor away from his home.

"Again, thank you doctor for being willing to come at night like this." Gita said when both of them were outside the house.

"Together, Son. Come in, I'll go first."

After making sure the doctor had left, Gita returned to her house. Arriving inside, he saw Agus who was trying to get up even though his body was still weak. Gita sighed, she couldn't possibly let the man go in a less fit state.

"Rest first, sir. If it's new you can get out of here." Gita.

"Good night,"

Not even Agus to say thank you, the girl immediately left him alone in the living room. Even so, he felt lucky to have such a noble-hearted daughter like Gita. The princess he never expected was as white as snow.

'That's how noble your heart is, son. Luckily Hendra has a daughter like you. Although you're actually my real daughter, I don't deserve that status. I'm not worthy,'
