"May I ask you something?" ask Tara's mother to me. His face looks so serious.

"What do you want to ask?" I asked with such high curiosity. Why his mother Ma'am Tara wants to talk to me even impressed to want to know more about me.

"Can we just talk inside? I don't want anyone listening to our conversation!" his mother said Mbak Tara while glancing at Mbak Tara who continued to stare suspiciously.

I also accepted his request. "Okay, come on in!" I opened the door of the house because it happened that Madam Inah had come home. Then I allowed him to sit in the living room, "I'll get you a drink first."

"Oh... No need! Can we just talk?"

I paused the intention to grab a drink and then I sat on the sofa opposite her mother, Tara said.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked him the first time.

"May I know, are your parents the biological parents who gave birth to you?" ask Mom Tara carefully.

"You mean what ya ask like that? I think it would be rude to ask such a thing to a newly met person." I said suspiciously.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to say disrespectful. I have a reason to say something like this. Can I answer my question honestly?"

I hesitated to tell the truth. I looked at the woman in front of me. From the style of dress it seems that this woman is an educated woman. It's natural that Ma'am Tara also looks like that.

The problem is why is he so curious about my life? Want what?

"I'm sorry, I can't answer it until I know what your purpose is to ask" I said firmly.

"I have no bad intentions. Really am. You can ask Agas, I am a former in-law who still loves him very much."

"I know. What you ask is about my life. Not about Om Agas. I have the right to refuse to tell you my information." I refused again.

The woman in front of me smiled. "Even your stern attitude is very similar. I'm becoming more sure."

I scrunched my forehead. "You mean what? I am confused about it!"

"All right, I'll tell you everything. So, I have a brother one father and a mother. She is my sister, her name is Naura. Naura was away from home when she was young because she was fighting with my mother. The reason is because Naura loves a man who is not approved by my mother. We couldn't do anything because Naura stayed firm with her stance and preferred to leave her extended family only for the sake of a man who ended up making her suffer even more,"

"We and our family were trying to find Naura's whereabouts. She was lost to the earth after she was reportedly married to the man. Apparently, the man is dead. The reason is accident. All of this happened while Naura was pregnant. We tried to find, but Naura always went and ran away for fear that my mother would get angry. Though at that time my mother had already begun to be moved and would accept Naura whatever the circumstances,"

"Naura thought that we were going to take her baby, so she left the baby in one of the orphanages. When we finally met Naura, the situation was very concerning. He has a severe disease. At the end of his life, Naura told him where she left her daughter named Tari. The name Dance is inspired by the name of my son Tara. Hoping that big could be as smart as Tara, his beloved niece."

Degs...

I was so surprised to hear everything. I fell silent with tears that kept on breaking down my face.

"Unfortunately when we want to take the baby that he left, Naura must be rushed to the hospital. Naura breathed her last breath there. We were preoccupied with Naura's funeral and went to the orphanage after 3 days of Naura's death. Honey, the baby Naura left behind has already adopted. They are a couple of husband and wife. It is difficult to find their whereabouts, because the address given is the old address. Until we finally gave up."

Her mother Mbak Tara told her while crying a mouthful. "I feel sorry for my mother. He often wept lamenting the fate of my sister Naura which was very sad. She often cried and condemned her mistake for not allowing Naura and her husband to marry. My mother was very sad when she found out that baby Naura had been adopted. Looking at you, I suddenly thought of my mother. Your faces are so similar. My mother was hoping to meet baby Naura. I can see it for the rest of my life,"

I wiped my tears, all as if they weren't real to me right now.

"Are you an adopted child? Are you my nephew, the son of Naura we've been looking for?" ask her mother, Tara, expectantly.

Mama Tara's mother closed her mouth so surprised. "Oh God...."

"I can't say who I am because I have been in an orphanage since I was a baby. That's what my foster mother said."

Unexpectedly, her mother Mbak Tara immediately hugged me tightly while crying a mouthful.

"Yes Allah... Definitely right. You must be Naura's son.... O Allah Naura... You found your son!"

I also cry. But I doubt it. Am I really Tara's mother's niece?

"But... I'm not sure...."

Her mother Mama Tara let go of my embrace. He cupped both his hands on my face. "Auntie sure, honey! Sure enough! Take it easy, Auntie will do a DNA test to clear your doubts!"

"Test DNA?"

"Oh yeah, Auntie's name is Irna. Aunt Irna, you just call it that. So surprised to see you, Auntie forgot to introduce herself. Auntie's gonna do a DNA test soon. But Aunt is 100 percent sure, you're Naura's son."

Did ya? Do I really finally have a brother? Will I finally have a family?

"Tante will be back later! We'll go together to check it out at the hospital. Aunty to Tara's house first!"

I could only be quiet after Mama Mama Tara left. I kept quiet and kept thinking about all the words of Mama Mama Tara.

If it's true that I'm Tara's cousin, then I'm Mama Naura's son. I have a Mama?

I wiped the tears that were dripping down my face. Mom once told me, never hate my biological parents who put me in an orphanage. They must have their own reasons. Do not also blame fate, because of the cruel fate I was finally able to meet with Mother and Om Agas of course.

My head feels dizzy. There's too much I think. Cafe problem, Madam Tara who is now aggressively approaching Om Agas and the possibility that I still have a grandmother. Huft....

I need to take a nap to relieve my headache. I then went into the room. Performing prayers and falling asleep.

I don't know how long I've been asleep, it feels so calm. No need to think about anything. Until I heard someone calling my name.

"Dance! The dance! You sleeping? Dance!"

I opened my eyes slowly. There was a handsome man looking at me worriedly.

"You sick?"

"Om Agas? You're home?"
