Indeed the tongue is boneless, but how many words of a painful nature can come out of the tongue. Just like today where Ervita who actually received the words that hurt her heart again from her past figure. Ervita never tried to harass Firhan. Since Ervita came with a KIA book and USG results, as if he was willing to give FIrhan responsibility, but what he got was rejection, from then on Ervita never again disturbed Firhan's life.
Instead of making his family bear the shame, he preferred to leave. Being a single mother to Indira. But now, his heart again hurt when Firhan with his refusal to call it a secondhand. Yes, the stuff he used. A phrase that hurts a woman terribly.
“Ayo, Nda,” Take a Guide later.
As a husband Pandu also knows that Ervita is not okay right now. Pandu knew that what Firhan had just said hurt his heart and feelings. So now, Pandu invites Ervita to pull over, find a seat in the campus area, and want to calm his wife's heart.
Now, the two sit in a pond close to the Faculty of Agriculture, see the plants of Mr. Gondok growing in some areas of the pond, and the birds of the church that chirped that morning. Pandu also sat closer to Ervita there.
“It is not necessary to think about,” Pandu said again to his wife.
“Hmm, no kok Mas,” reply.
Pandu then glanced at his wife who looked down and was justifying the zipper jacket he was wearing, “Why, surely you hurt right? I know you very well, Dinda .. no matter what the man says, don't put it in the heart well. In my eyes you are not like that. In your eyes is much more valuable, Dinda,” said Pandu with a sigh.
When her husband said all that, it was as if Ervita's heart was pacified. But the pain is still there. It hurts because of the words that were spoken to him. “Hmm, I once said to you, Mas .. before our marriage, I am not a widow. Those who are widows, at least they have been married. However, I was never married by anyone. Yeah, like this, Mom. Some people will still impeach me,” Ervita replied.
Pandu stared straight ahead and de-breaths that felt heavy. “But, not in my eyes, Dinda .. in my eyes you are a precious woman. It does not escape sin, because all humans are basically sinners. But it is not easy being you. Yes, you have to leave college, leave home, and live isolated in Jakarta. There you have to wait for Kiosk Batik up to 8 hours every day. You are pregnant and you are giving birth alone. Your mental stay awake is very good, Dinda .. you have done everything well,” said Pandu again.
A speck of tears combined with a smile printed clearly on Ervita's face, “Makasih Mas Pandu,” Ervita said with a glance at her husband.
“Sama-sama Dinda .. don't be sad well. It is not easy to live like you, maybe besides you will choose an abortion and also achieve other dreams. But you defend life, you defend a baby born like a white sheet of paper, an innocent baby. You are great, Dindaku,” said Pandu by holding one hand Ervita there.
“Doing extramarital relationship has sinned Mas .. if I abort Indira at that time, maybe I am already completely crazy. I'm sure everything that happens in this universe has a silver lining.
Indi who was born and raised my heart. Indi who was born and accompanied my loneliness in the region. I have failed to become a dutiful child and boast the names of my parents, I have failed to become a student who will never graduate, but I do not want to fail to be a mother for my son. This is not a sacrifice, but only for me to live my nature" Ervita replied.
"True Dinda .. so now don't be sad. I will always protect you. Yeah, even if I can't do violence, Dinda. Maybe someone else would have gone up in blood and punched the tiger's mouth earlier. But I never used my hand to punch and punch others. Rest assured, I will protect you and Indi in my way" Pandu replied.
The way people protect is different. Pandu asserted that to ride blood and award a fist he could not do. But he will take care of Ervita.
"Yes Dinda ... Kanda promised as much as possible that he would not raise his hand and fight, but trust me that I will always take care of you" he replied.
"Yes Mas .. I believe. Not just today, since we met, since I was pregnant with Indi, you've taken care of me. Thank you," he replied.
At least this time Ervita could feel calmer. Pandu also hopes that whatever is said by others to him, do not need to be too put into the heart. Because, in his eyes Ervita is a great woman, has been a single mother for many years for Indira.
"Other times, if someone says something bad to you, forget it and ignore it. Truly, Dinda ... In my eyes, you are much more precious. Your worth is not determined by the words of others. Your worth is determined by your good character all along, and I judge you to be a great woman, a gentle woman, a wounded woman who can rise. I love you, Dinda," said Pandu solemnly.
Ervita smiled and again shed tears. If there is a tongue that can produce words that stab into the heart, from the tongue can also produce words that are sweet and calm his heart. "You make me cry happy, Kanda .. Thanks for not degrading me. Nor are your feelings for me a feeling of pity. This feeling is love, right?"
"It's your love, Dinda .. I love you," Pandu replied.
Yes, not a feeling of pity, not a feeling of sympathy, but the feeling that Pandu felt all along was love. Love for Ervita, who was originally unspoken, now he can freely say that he is in love with Ervita.
Ervita also smiled, “Ya already .. go home yuk Mas .. later awaited people home. Indi can cry if Mother and Father are not there,” invite him now.
The two stood up and walked back to the back gate of the campus, picking up their motorbikes parked there. Along the way, Pandu walked with Ervita's hand.
“You if you walk alone like a gini still like a student loh, Nda,” said Pandu with a glance at Ervita.
“Apaan sih Mas .. make me melt your loh,” reply.
“Serius ... kayak girl,” Reply Pandu with half whisper in his wife's ear.
Ervita also smiled there, “Girl with one child,” reply with a laugh.
This is what Pandu wants, so Ervita not only smiles and tears, but Ervita can laugh again. Evidence that Ervita's feelings have improved now. Pandu became relieved, the woman he now held his hand was indeed a powerful figure. He was fragile, but he did not give up. He was suffering and miserable, but he was not desperate. That is the value of Ervita in the eyes of a Hadinata Pandu.
