My Office Boy's
55. Deep Talk

Finished working hours, Surya immediately cleaned up his belongings. His stomach was rumbling, he just remembered that he had eaten nothing all day. Today was so emotional. He forgot his own stomach.

Before returning home, he pointed his motorbike to a field restaurant in the cimahi area. Intentionally eat in place to make it feel better. Although in fact, all the dishes were tasteless on his tongue right now. He forced his mouth to chew and swallow just keeping his stamina alone so as not to collapse. It is also free if the food is brought home, it will even feel sad. Eat alone without any Kalia. His loneliness must be getting worse.

Yes, this afternoon Surya did return to his home in Lembang. While Kalia with Rani's mother, her father-in-law. After finishing eating, Surya then drove his motorbike again to the house. But on the way, he felt he did not want to go home. He better go home to his parents alone in Cisarua. Her parents need to know that today she is temporarily separated from Kalia.

Arriving at home. Surya was immediately greeted by Bu Ati who was astonished to see his son return to his home after work. Her premonition as a mother says that there is something going on between Surya and her daughter-in-law.

" Why jang? is there something with Lia?" ati asked while bringing her a glass of warm sweet tea. Because he saw Surya so looks exhausted. He rested his back and head on the back of the chair. His sitting position sank like powerless.

" Sury separated from Lia for a while, Mah. Maybe it's better this way." Surya tried to explain as lightly as possible so that his parents would not worry.

" Why should we separate everything?" Ati was confused. Not that a wife is in need of the presence of her husband beside her when she is in such a state?

" Lia cried hysterically yesterday as Surya hugged. It seems like he's angry with Surya. When Surya knew that the child Lia conceived was a woman, Surya was sad. Instead of Surya rejecting the child, but only feeling guilty because later if the child grows up and marries, Surya cannot be his guardian because his marriage was cut off from Surya due to Lia being pregnant before we married. Surya felt guilty for Humaira, because of the fault of both parents, in the end he had to accept it all. But that doesn't mean Surya doesn't love Humaira. Surya loves him very much, Mah. But Lia seemed disappointed and blamed Surya that it might be the reason God took it back from us." explained Surya then bowed lethargic while massaging his forehead.

Ati patted his son's back.

" God has a good plan for everything. And every living creature must die. It's just a different time. Maybe Lia was being emotional, so still felt unacceptable with her current state. Yes, yes, jang. It'sit's okay. Perhaps as time went on, Lia could be more sincere and aware. As for you, as a man, do not give up quickly. Keep supporting Lia, pray that Lia will get well soon." advises Bu Ati while rubbing her child's head.

" Lia.ayo eat first, baby." persuaded Mother Rani while keeping a tray of food on the nightstand in her son's room. Lia only glanced at him at a glance, then closed her eyes again.

" Mama has cooked well you know, let Lia quickly recover" said Bu Rani then sat next to her son who was still curled up.

" Lia's not hungry yet, Ma." replied Kalia Parau.

" Lia ate last lunch. Now I want maghrib. Time not hungry. Eaten yes, sedikiiiiit aja." persuaded Rani again.

Kalia opened her eyes then looked at Mother Rani with a sad look.

" Mommy isn't angry I asked for a divorce from Surya?" kalia asked later, her voice sounding soft and choked.

Rani's mother breathed a heavy sigh.

" Mama is not angry, just sad." replied Rani's mother while tidying up Kalia's hair. Kalia tried to get up and lean her back on the headboard of the bed.

" Lia.Our life is already there who set, soul mate, starch, bagja, lilaka, God arranged. It is not the human will to control all of this. Man can only plan, which determines God again. Why did Lia get married to Surya, because God arranged for you, why did baby Lia die before birth? since her age was only up there, why did Lia fall down the stairs? that's all the destiny God set for Lia. Everything.no exception." said Ibu Rani sage. Kalia only listened without refuting.

" Maybe it was a test that Lia would always remember God. The Dzat who created Lia. Everything in this world has a law of cause and effect."

" The news of Lia being married to Surya was spread throughout the board of directors in the office. Lia was humiliated, Lia became the crowd's gossip." Kalia explained, her voice began to tremble.

" why? Is she ashamed to have a husband like Surya? He's a good, responsible person, Lia knows that too right?"

" But people don't know..!!! They only know that Surya is an OB, a hard worker, a low-educated man. Then they gossiped about Lia. Turning Lia aside for making a noise in the office atmosphere, Lia is an exemplary employee but giving a bad example, they even spread a photo of Lia making out with Surya. They all fuck Lia. Mocking Lia. Lia was embarrassed, Mah.maluu.huwaaa.." Lia's cry broke out instantly. Rani's mother was stunned and then held her son in a sad feeling.

" Not to mention, Surya instead told Lia to let go of everything. The work that Lia built with great difficulty. The work that made Lia proud. Mama knows how hard Lia can occupy Lia's position now. It's not all easy.." Lia was getting more and more in her mother's arms.

" Did Lia know why Surya asked Lia to come out of work?" ask Rani's mother while stroking Kalia's hair.

" He said he didn't want Lia to be burdened by the gossip at the office. But Lia still wants to work, Lia does not want to just be a housewife. I don't want that, Ma. But he doesn't understand, he doesn't know how bad Lia is to get everything until now we are at this point. He doesn't know, Mah..Surya doesn't know anything." Kalia replied again, her tears still flowing.

" It was like everything was spinning in Lia's head. Disappointed, angry, sad, embarrassed.everything is jumbled. Until Lia fell unconscious while descending the stairs and.and huwaaa... Mamma...Mamma...How should I be Ma?? baby Lia doesn't exist, Mah. The baby Lia died, Lia killed him.." Rani's mother clutched tightly to her son who was crying so badly. Kalia's head was kissed many times. He didn't think that Kalia was so distressed by everything that happened to her. The accident had left a deep trauma in his mind. Psychically shaken.

" Already.already, baby. Calm your heart, take care of everything that has happened. Do not keep weighing on your heart and mind. It's not your fault if your son dies.not baby.you're not a killer." Ms. Rani could not hold back her tears. Finally the mother and child couple dissolved in a deep feeling of sadness. The two hugged each other and cried for a long time. Until fatigue. Forgetting a plate of rice and its side dishes that are now cold on the tray.

Still heard the sobs of Kalia in her mother's arms. Sometimes Ibu Rani kisses the head of Kalia and then caresses it gently.

" Is Lia really willing to part with Surya? Lia's determination is round?" rani asked as she cupped Kalia's face and looked at her.

" Mama felt, Surya did that because he loved you. A man who loves us sincerely, will never let the woman he loves drag on in grief. Surya is the one in charge, Lia. He's a good man. As long as you are sick, Surya completely forgets himself. He forgot that he also had a body that needed to be cared for, needed to eat, needed to sleep. He forgot that..All his attention is just pouring out on you. She was crying just as much as Lia. She lost your baby too. She's just as sad."

" Mama is like seeing your father in Surya. Both of them are big-hearted men. Even when you asked her to divorce you, Surya cried in front of Mama. I want to go to Mama, ask her permission to always love and take care of you. He loved Lia. Mama could see it from the look in Surya's eyes when she said that. Are you willing to let go of someone who loves you so much? You won't regret it?" asked Rani's mother while looking at her son who was silent at once. Like digesting all the words spoken by his mother.
