Mama Dirga gasped as Dirga asked him a full question.
" What did your mother mean? Are you hiding something from me?" Highlight the eagle's eyes Dirga stared intently at his mother, as if demanding an honesty from the middle-aged woman.
" A-what do you mean, Dirga? Mama's not hiding anything from you." Mama Dirga quickly denied Dirga's accusations.
" Tell me the truth, Ma. Because if one day I find out there's something that Mama or Nadia has been hiding from me, I'll never forgive Mama!" dirga was a little threatening.
Mama Dirga swallowed her saliva hearing the threat from her son.
" M-mama really doesn't understand what you're talking about, Dirga. Why don't you trust Mama? Has your mother ever lied to you? Why are you accusing Mama?" Mama Dirga dramatized as if feeling wronged because of Dirga's accusations.
Dirga continued to look into his mother's eyeballs, he looked for if there were any lies there.
" Mr ..." Kayla's voice suddenly sounded from the door of Mama Dirga's room, before long the little girl ran up to Dirga. " Papa tidul cini (sleep here), huh? Kela also tidul cini." Kayla hugged Dirga's body. " Papa's kelasen."
" Let's see Kayla, would you leave her, Dirga?" Mama Dirga seemed to find an excuse for Dirga to undo his intention to divorce Nadia. " What about Kayla later if she sees you with another woman, not with her mother? Kayla will definitely be sad, she must feel that you don't love her anymore, Dirga."
" I'm not leaving Kayla, Ma. Even if I split up, I would love Kayla." Dirga stroked Kayla's head that was leaning against her chest affectionately." Because after all in Kayla's body flowed strong Poetra Laksmana blood," he said later.
" Dirga, Mama please .. do not discuss it. Let this be a secret, pity Kayla if she has to know the truth."
" So soon she'll know the truth, Ma. Sooner or later, the truth will be known."
Mama Dirga sighed which felt heavy. Her memory goes back to what happened five years ago when her husband went away to face the Divine.
The flash back
Four years and four months ago
Since the death of Papa of Dirga, Mr. Poetra Laksmana. Dirga was forced to handle several companies owned by the late Papa Dirga, assisted by Ricky, who had previously been his papa assistant. Meanwhile, Bima, finally returned to Indonesia. The loss of a husband to Mrs Utami Poetra Laksmana, made the middle-aged woman hit, making their eldest son choose to end his adventure abroad.
Despite returning to Indonesia, Bima never wanted to deal with everything related to her papa company. While in the homeland Bima still travel from island to island looking for inspiration for his painting, but once a week he always took the time to go home to see his mother.
That way for months, Dirga was busy taking care of all the affairs of several Papa Dirga companies. Because of the busyness that makes it untouchable by any woman including her former lover, Nadia.
Dirga had just presided over the meeting, as the sound of the phone vibrating several times teased her. He paused for a moment of his meeting as he looked at his mother's name that appeared on his phone screen.
" I'm gonna have a minute." Dirga left the meeting room.
" Hello? What's up, Ma? I'm leading the meeting." asked Dirga.
" Mas Dirga, Mum, Mas .." Bi Mus's voice was heard at Dirga's parents' house.
" What's wrong with mom, Bi?" Dirga asked curiously. Especially when he found out Bi Mus was using his mother's phone.
" Mom passed out, Mum."
" Faint? Why did you pass out, Bi? Is mama sick?" Dirga was immediately hit by an emergency.
" No, Mas. Bbt ...."
" But what, Bi?" Dirga grew curious, he could not wait for an answer from Bi Mus.
" So someone from the police came here, and reported if Mas Bima had an accident at the top, and .. and hiks .. hiks ..." only a cry ended Bi Mus's words.
Instantly Dirga's body seemed stiffened, his mind was already floating about something bad had happened to his brother.
" And what, Bi? What's wrong with brother, Bi? What did the police give you?"
" Mas Bima, died at the scene, Mas. Hicks ...."

Dirga ran down the hospital corridor to the mortuary. Dirga found his mother who was crying almost hymns on the shoulders of Aunt Riska, his mother's cousin's sister.
" Aunty?' Dirga noticed his mother who looked very hit, crying as if not caring about the ones around him. Dirga immediately grabbed the weak body of his mother from the hands of Aunt Riska, and hugged tightly while kissing the head of his mother.
" What's really going on with my brother, Tan?" ask Dirga to his mother's cousin who also works as a doctor.
" Your brother had a single accident while coming home from the top." Aunt Riska. " And your brother didn't go alone when the accident happened."
" There are other victims? Wh who? How's condition?" Dirga quickly asked, she immediately worried that the other passengers would suffer the same fate as her brother.
" It's still a doctor's appointment, but she and the baby she contains survived."
Dirga frowned. " So you go alone with a woman?"
Aunt Riska nodded in response to Dirga's question.
" Bima, Dirga .. your brother Bima, hiks ...."
" Patience, Ma. This may have been God's will, brother must catch up with papa first." He could not hold back his tears. She could feel the pain felt by her mother, not even a year to lose her beloved husband, now have to lose her firstborn. That was a great blow to his mother and of course to himself as well.
" Tan, who's brother's girlfriend? Because as far as I know, my brother never introduced his girlfriend to me or my mom." Dirga then asked his aunt.
" Hmmm, you know who that woman with your brother is, Dirga."
" Who?" Dirga to squint his eyes, while remembering when Bima had introduced his girlfriend.
" The woman with your brother is ... Nadias."
Deg
Dirga was surprised to hear the name mentioned by Aunt Riska.
" Nadia??" As if not believe Dirga again convinced that his hearing is still normal.
" Yes, Nadia who at the time of the incident with Bima. And she turned out to be six weeks pregnant" said Aunt Riska.
Dirga massaged her temple in response to the news. " Aunty sure, Nadia's pregnant?" How could Dirga believe that a woman who was almost two years old (after she broke up with Kirania ) was always chasing after her could get pregnant? Is Nadia pregnant with Bima's child? If not, why was he with his brother when the accident happened? Various questions raged in Dirga's mind right then and there.
Three days after Bima's departure, Dirga met Nadia who was still lying in the same hospital.
" City ..." Nadia immediately sobbed when she saw Dirga's presence in her ward.
" Dirga?"
Aunt Farah and Om Fachri also greeted Dirga.
" Om, Auntie .. can I have a one-on-one conversation with Nadia?" dirga asked.
" Okay, you two have a conversation" Om Fachri said, leading his wife out of Nadia's room.
Dirga looked at Nadia who was still sobbing and now covered her entire face with her palm.
" How are you and your baby doing now? What fetus are you carrying is the flesh blood of my brother Bima?" the more questions that sounded like accusations of course made Nadia sobbing more and more, because the woman felt very guilty and betrayed Dirga.
