"Healthy are you. Because you're all I have in this world!"
Lastri went into his chicken coop which was behind the house. Patently, the middle-aged woman fed her pet chickens in the morning like this. Usually this kind of routine he did twice a day, namely in the morning and evening.
Lastri smiled when he saw his pet chickens grow healthy and fat like this. He believes that one day, he can become a big enough chicken man in his village.
"Heah .... Turns out living alone like this wasn't as horrible as what I imagined. I feel more at ease and at peace in my life. Even since I chose to live alone, there was always sustenance approaching. With that sustenance, thank God I can buy a chicken for me to keep like this and the results were quite good."
Lastri's eyes looked bright. There was no stopping the woman expressing gratitude for all the blessings God had given her. After experiencing things that he considered so painful, but it turns out that God left another happiness for him.
"Holy sustenance turns out to be far more blessed than the sustenance obtained by the road is not good."
Lastri started swinging his legs. He entered the kitchen through the back door. After this the woman will go to the rice field to work on the land belonging to the neighbors who were sent to her.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
Lastri who was about to take a glass filled with warm tea, he expressed his intention when he heard the sound of knocking on the door from the front. The middle-aged woman rushed forward to see who was coming.
Lastri's hand grabbed the door lever and...
"You guys!"
"Mother...I'm sorry!!!"
Lastri's body was stunned for a moment when her neutrals looked at the bodies of two people she hadn't seen in a long time. The two people who last met him left only a deep heart wound.
"Why are you coming home? Have you received any recompense for what you have done?"
"Mother.... I'm sorry for never listening to Mom's words. I've borne everything, ma'am..."
Mega cried gurgled under the soles of Lastri's feet. The woman seemed to spill all the regrets, guilt and sins that she bore due to disobedience to the mother.
"Cih .. It's too late. You remember, how did you treat me back then and disobey all of my words? You are too happy with what you already have. Though all you have is the spoils of seizing the property of another woman. But you're still proud of what you got!"
"Yes Ma'am .... I am guilty and guilty. I'm sorry Mom.. I'm sorry..."
Lastri seemed silent no longer responding to Mega's speech. Like being sprinkled with salt, the middle-aged woman's heart wound again felt so painful after all the time he managed to heal. What the child has done, has indeed broken his heart and mind.
"Mom, forgive Mega. He has now received a reply to what he has done. And he still has the right to improve himself" Kardi said in a plea to Lastri. "Father also apologized because you were blinded by the material, so you can not direct Mega to the right path. I'm sorry, Mom, too.."
"You two, it makes no difference. Equally treasure lovers. Now feel what the consequences have been. It hurts my heart because your behavior is too deep. I will never forgive you!"
Lastri set his foot until it made Mega stagger slightly back. Quickly Kardi held his wife's hand and held her tight.
"Let go of my hand, sir! You have no right to hold me like this. Please accept all the risks you have to bear. Don't take me!"
"Mom.... Please forgive us. We are guilty of not listening to your words. But now we've received the consequences, ma'am."
"That's your business, sir. What we sow, that's what we reap, so I don't want to know what the Father and the son of the ungodly are going through!"
"Mom, help! Look at Mega's current state, ma'am. She was pregnant and dumped by her husband. His face was also damaged by the rubbing he put on. Right now he has nowhere to go except us as his parents. As bad as Mega is, she still deserves to improve and improve."
"My heart is already sick, sir. Mega treatment I can't really forgive. He's been too much to me!"
"Well, it doesn't matter if you still can't forgive Mega. But please allow Mega to stay here Mom. Look at Mega's current state, ma'am. He has no place to go."
Lastri exhaled a rough breath while throwing his face in front of Mega. He still refused to look at the face of the child who was still resting on this floor.
"alright. I allowed him to stay here. But remember, until ever, I will never forgive this ungodly child!"
Feeling that there was nothing more to say, Lastri rushed back into the house. The woman prepared herself to immediately go to the rice fields, working on the rice fields owned by neighbors. While Kardi, the man slightly bent his body to help the child stand up.
"Here, don't doubt it anymore. Now, you better get in your room and get some rest, Meg!"
"But Mother....?"
"Trust me, I will forgive you. Right now he might still be surprised because of our sudden return. Later while you try to continue to persuade your mother."
Mega could only nod. This time there is nothing to do but to obey all the directions of the Father. His life no longer had any direction and purpose, other than to return to this house.
Fired by Kardi, Mega enters the house, where she grew up. His heart slipped when he remembered how much sacrifice had been made by his mother and father but instead he retaliated with iniquity.
Oh Allah .... Forgive me. I am so despicable before You, O God. I don't deserve to be in this world.
****
Tock.... Tock.... Geck...
"Mrs Lastri.... Miss Lastri!"
The sound of knocking on the door and someone calling out the name of the mother made Mega's eyes that had been clenched open immediately. He opened his eyes and tried to reach his consciousness.
Feeling no response from his mother, Mega got out of bed. He walked to the front room to open the door.
"Aaaaaaa .. . . Whoareyou? Why are there such ugly people in the house of Miss Lastri!"
Sulis, the thirty-five-year-old woman was hysterically screaming at the sight of the ugly woman who opened the door. He shuddered in horror at the face filled with pus like this.
"Bu Sulis ....I'm Mega, Mom. I'm Pastri's son."
"Mega?" asked Sulis with a squeak on the forehead. "Yes Allah Mega .... Why is your face so disgusting like this? What disease are you in?"
Sulis covered his nose and mouth using his palms. The woman seemed to hold back from vomiting in front of this neighbor. Because really, in Sulis' eyes, Mega's face was disgusting."
Mega slightly keki heard Sulis' question. He cursed himself for forgetting to wear a veil to cover his shattered face.
"S-I didn't get any disease ma'am. I just used the wrong facial treatment, so the consequences are like this" Mega lied. He did not want anyone to know that his face was damaged because of the rubbing he was wearing.
"Aaahhhhh, which may be due to wrong facial treatment. You must have a disease" said Sulis, who is determined by his argument.
"Really ma'am, I just mishandled my face and didn't get any disease."
Sulis stared in disbelief at Mega's expression standing before him. He was silent for a moment but for a split second his face was like a half-dead shocked person. His face was flabbergasted with wide gaping lips.
"Astaghfirullah .... You're a snatch for people's husbands, right? Do you suffer the torment of being an actor?" sulis's instantaneous cry also made Mega's body shocked half dead.
