Paper Plane
A story


The sound of the Adzan was welcomed by Iqomah, Rama I just melodiously placed on the ears of the beautiful baby who was still red. Really anyone who witnessed the moment, will certainly feel washed away by the atmosphere that is so blue.


''Thank you ladies and gentlemen. I owe you guys a lot of kindness.''


''Same-sama. You take it easy, fellow humans must help each other. Then, will you name this beautiful baby?'' ask Rahayu's mother who is now holding a tiny baby that is so adorable.


''As my gratitude, may you be willing to give a name to my daughter.'' Marina said with a teary look.


''Alright. It's an honor for me to give this baby a name. Since this baby is so beautiful, I will name this tiny baby Daisha Lithayu. As the name implies, may one day his life be filled with beauty and become a source of happiness for many people said Rama's father after thinking about it well.


''A very beautiful name.'' said Rahayu and Marina's mother simultaneously. Those in the room smiled.


''Ladies and gentlemen must be wondering where is the father of the baby I just gave birth to, right?'' marina asked as if knowing what Rahayu's mother and Rama's father had thought in her mind.


''Actually this child was my son with a man I loved so much, at first. We were married in the series at the time, but once I found out that the child I was carrying was a girl, she was so disappointed. Especially family. I was expelled because it was considered to bring disgrace to the family, said Marina so steadfastly. His heart was already invulnerable, his soul was already trained to be tough.


''Then where is the father of this child now?'' tanya Rahayu also felt pity.


''He left us.'' said Marina sadly.


''What do you mean?'' ask Rahayu's mother not understand.


''He has not cared about us since then, he left us. He even threatened to abort this innocent baby. Then, I decided to leave said Marina who now shed her tears.


''It's very uncivilized. Such a man does not deserve to be called a father. What a difference between a boy and a girl!'' rahayu said so upset.


''Patience yes, you must be strong for the sake of your child.'' added Rahayu's mother gave encouragement.


Long story short, Marina and the baby were brought home to Rahayu's mother because Marina who did not have a permanent residence.


''Bak Rahayu, may I request another request from mbak Rahayu?'' ask Marina.


''What is Marina?''


''I'm ashamed to say this. I've been too much trouble mbak Rahayu family and mas Rama. But, only Rahayu can trust at this time. Ma'am, please take good care of my daughter, take care and love her like mbak Rahayu and mas Rama love biological children mbak Rahayu himself.


''What do you mean Marina?''


''This is all for the safety of Daisha mbak, the Yoga mas family will definitely not stay silent and will seek our existence. She would have taken my child if they knew I had given birth. Please take care of my son and I please keep this secret. I do not want this child why-napa.'' said Marina with sobs.


''I have to go, ma'am. I can't stay here any longer and there's no way that I'm taking Daisha away with me, it's going to be very dangerous for her safety Marina said with a raging feeling of fear, and not willing.


''I will go as far as possible and if necessary I will leave the country. I will watch Daisha from afar. I believe that Mbak Rahayu and mas Rama are good people sent by God to help me and my son.'' said Marina hopeful.


...ΩΩΩ...


Today was the last day for Marina to be able to stare, hold and breastfeed her little daughter. He looked at the small figure in his car with great clinging. So beautiful and adorable.


''Forgive mommy dear, mommy was forced to leave you here. So a good child and a happiness spreader for the people around you, son.'' said Marina sincerely pray.


Repeatedly he kissed the tender little baby in his arms. He slipped a pink handkerchief near Daisha's small bed. A handkerchief she made herself with embroidered a number of five baby breath flowers bloomed pink on one side, the number of flowers corresponding to the date and month of birth of her baby. Exactly the five-month five-date.


It was heavy to have to part from the flesh blood he had just born. Which mother would leave her own child to someone else? However, it seems like this is the best path, he thought.


''I tipped my child yes mbak, please love and take good care of this child.'' said Marina who now has a suitcase in her hand.


''Definitely, we will take good care of this child.'' replied Rahayu's mother steadily.


''Careful. And promise to come back for your son, said Rama's father.


Marina nodded her head. His body seemed to say that he would return soon, but in his heart he could not promise.


She kissed the beautiful baby for the last time. Until a taxi that stopped in the yard stopped the kiss.


''I have to go now. Thank you for all the kindness and sincerity of Rahayu and Rama. May God always protect you. Excuse me yes mbak.'' said Marina with a heavy. His footsteps felt so heavy, his heart was so choked, yet this was a destiny he had to go through.


Together with the roar of the wind, carrying Marina's steps towards somewhere.


''Forgive mommy dear, forgive mommy has to go. This is all for your safety, son.'' Marina said in a taxi. His tears fell along with the specks of rain that began to fall profusely soaking the earth.


......................


A long breath sounded squealing in the eardrum. Rahayu's mother has just finished her story. Suddenly the mood was silent.


Both eyes of Daisha were wide when they heard what her mother had just said. Both hands belonging to Daisha suddenly trembled, even his throat felt choked. Cold, he felt so cold creeping up the recesses of his heart.


Restless, his hands began to sweat, his body felt stiff, his tongue was suddenly confused. His world collapsed hearing what his mother had said. Wanted to cry and scream, but nil.


A big secret is open. A truth that changes everything. A secret that has been kept neatly for decades began to spell.


There was a warm feeling inside his chest, but this reality was also so blasphemous.
