ROSETA
Tense

"Waw, Grandma," cried Bryna.

Then the little girl ran with a smile like the sun that illuminated the Earth. What pleasure did Bryna find that the girl rushed in her steps towards Madame Dera who was sitting on the chair?

"Bryna," welcome Dera at last.

Along with her smile, Matheo Ranu Pandega's mother slightly bent down and spread her arms around waiting for the upcoming Bryna, hugging in the arms as the little girl was already in front.

While Roseta and Theo are on the doorstep, selecting all the speculation that is being watched like a drama with various secrets in it. If you think a thousand times, it is impossible for Bryna to get to know Dera, where and how to meet them becomes a big question for both.

"What's Grandma doing at Theo Uncle's house?" bryna asked unmitigated.

The wrinkled face suddenly looked up at the entrance, Dera's eyes pinched for a moment until finally dropping the gaze to Roseta and Theo alternately. While the two figures in the glare of my eyes were quietly holding their breath because of the sudden gripping atmosphere.

     Thought Theo why his mother suddenly appeared without notice, that is, why all of a sudden so. The man was happy, honestly very happy to not be able to think anything, to be too abstract to show it.

     While Roseta was busy struggling with her mind, willing to answer what if Theo's mother asked, too embarrassed to confess. In the past, in the eyes of Dera, Roseta was a good girl as her son's lover, her sin and depraved behavior was not worthy to be shown in front of the face. Look, Dera's temperament is very authoritative, Roseta almost wants to turn around when the first door opens showing the old woman who is very respected.

"It's Theo Uncle's house, isn't it?" bryna asked again because she did not get an answer, all she saw were three adults who threw eyes at each other in turn.

Dera chose to straighten her back and move around stroking Bryna's black mane, widening her smile with a long sigh. "Then what's Bryna doing at home, Theo Uncle?" choosing to ask instead of answering, Dera felt the need for certainty to resolve the curiosity.

      Bryna grimaced showing a barrage of white teeth, flipping over to stare at Theo and Roseta. "We moved here, didn't we, Mom?" the question is with Roseta.

     Roseta who was asked felt an electric shock flowing all over her body, her palms involuntarily creeping the end of the hoodie that wrapped Theo's body on the back, and her palms unknowingly squeezed through the hoodie, the man felt Roseta's hand tremble.

     "Mommy's friend Theo Uncle, grandma."

     "really? And where's Bryna's Daddy?" ask Dera further.

     "Daddy is still back in Country A" Bryna replied.

     In retrospect, there were too many skits that Roseta was running, this joke was not funny, the woman was in displeasure as Dera let out a heavy sigh. The warm gaze that he used to be can no longer be seen.

      "Asih," call Dera give up waiting for a response from Roseta Thei who is still fixated like a stone statue.

      The figure of a woman with a simple bandage came out from behind, displaying a smile accompanied by her small run. "Yes ma'am" he answered.

     "Bring Bryna into her room," Dera paused, turning her gaze to her son. "You've prepared the room, haven't you?"

      Theo who was asked responded with a quick nod, the response was too obvious if he was very nervous extraordinarily.

      So it did not take long, Asih brought Bryna to the room that was already prepared Theo since his move in this house. Bryna complied as her tiny hand was pulled slowly to go deeper, the girl smiled in silence. It's stupid to think Bryna doesn't know everything. Use the internet for what if to know Dera alone can not he do.

...\~\~\~...

"Explain to me, Matheo Ranu Pandega!!" sue Dera after morning newspaper sheet lying on the floor due to his throw.

...'Matheo Ranu Pandega reportedly had an affair until he divorced his wife' ...

       Theo talak's eyes fiddled up to quickly pick up the paper with ngawur news about him in it. Oath to his manhood, why the cheap info spread without knowing it.

     "Is there no scandal cooler than that, my son. You're a disgrace," he joked further. The old woman folded her hands under her chest arrogantly.

      Even Theo was not offended in the slightest, tucked away the word prince made his heartbeat pump faster, how delighted he was still being recognized as a child after disappearing for so long, the torture was painful if her mother found out.

     While Roseta was no less silent, the woman grabbed the newspaper in Theo's hands, read one word at a time until the composed sentence made the woman cover her mouth agape.

"Mama's glad you're divorced with Yura. What does it mean you're conscious?"

"Mama, w-what do you mean?"

"Mama won't say anything more, and neither will you. All I want to tell you is what I know," along with that last word, Dera shortened the distance to get closer to Roseta and Theo. "Bryna is my grandson" he added.

Like a thief caught, both are compact silent without saying. If you remember, Theo and Roseta often do the same thing in the sponge, the soul mate is usually like that, but do not know if for these two people.

"Why are you still hiding from Bryna?" ask Dera.

Theo rubbed his neck and said, "That's, um, that's,"

"I asked for it" Roseta said.

Dera sparkles in her eyeballs, Roseta's voice is eagerly awaited for the air, eager to hear it too. "Do you not want to hug Mama, Roseta."

Wanting, eager, even during the sickle days, Roseta adores to lean on Theo's mother, but again, it's the dirty inside of her that controls to get away and go.

"Mama," said Roseta.

Along with that Dera who started to get anxious pulled Roseta in his arms. Say the old body is fragile inedible age, but make no mistake about the fitness and strength it has, Dera is very health-conscious because it still needs to solve the big problems made by his son, Dera, Theo.

Dera patted Roseta's back soothingly, Roseta's trembling body then felt directly by her. "It's a good thing you're not stupid like Theo" he said in a hug. Roseta nodded enthusiastically. "He's so stupid, Ma."

"Whatever happens, you can't be with Theo anymore" advises Dera.

"I'll make sure, Ma."

"Don't be with that stupid guy" Dera added.

"No, Ma."

Theo did not accept dong, the open talk really offended his pride. If only once he might still be contained in his brain, but if the level of stupidity is discussed again, Theo was forced to dismiss it all.

The hello. Theo was a man with extraordinary intelligence, if his brain was empty, it was impossible that this time the man was included in the ranks of the most successful people in the Country.

One more thing that makes Theo boil in his crown. His mother, after a long time did not say hello and even left him was not reluctant to hug him.

"Ma, don't you want to hug me?" theo asked after the courage gathered and encouraged him to talk.

Dera completes a cuddle with Roseta, breaking eyes to take turns responding to her son. "That's punishment."

"What do you mean, Mama?"

"Feel what Bryna and Braga feel."

"Ja-so."

"Find what it's like without your parents by your side. Until now, Mama has not forgiven you, Theo. Don't expect it to be easy" Dera broke up firmly.

Until here Theo understands, if everything is reasonable, then free he forced. Only atoning for sins would be the end goal. Setting life back, happy Bryna. He wanted Roseta to also join his small family, but Theo's guts suddenly shrunk if he remembered his actions again.

"SISTER BRAGA, BROTHER BRAGA," cried Bryna hysterically.

The girl ran quickly down the stairs, and her tears had wet both her cheeks. Asih trailing from behind while repeatedly calling his name, worry appeared clearly on his face.

Roseta, Theo Dera suddenly looks up to find Bryna until the girl reaches the end of the stairs below. Roseta who has already memorized if Bryna like this just ran to get closer.

"Adek, no, not anymore" he said as Bryna was pulled in his arms.

Bryna rebelled with all her might, unlike usual, the girl was insistent until Roseta lost her hand. "No, Mommy, this time Bryna saw Braga's sister" he said.

"Mommy, let's get out quickly, Bryba sees Braga's brother outside the gate, come on Mommy." Bryna forced her to pull her mother's hand, but Roseta did not move and just stayed in place.

"No, deck. Don't do this, Braga's brother doesn't exist."

"There's outside, Mom. Hiks," Bryna chuckled with her tears.

Roseta rests on her knees to support her, caressing Bryna's black mane soaked in sweat. "Slut, listen to Mommy. Brother is calm, don't be this. Okay. Later Braga's brother is sad."

"Daddy, let's get out, brother Braga is at the gate, Dad, let's go out."

Roseta followed Bryna's point of view, thinking Roseta was Jay behind him, in fact Theo's presence was there. How could Bryna call him that. Long immersed in his thoughts, Bryna who was in front of him had moved to beg and pull the dashing hand of Theo.

"Daddy, come on Dad. Hisk, brother's outside."

Bryna's whining doesn't stop until Dera can't stand it alone. Don't get me wrong, Theo's mother knew that Bryna was playing a show covering up her ignorance about her real father. Trailing Roseta from the day of Theo's wedding used to let Dera know how her grandchildren lived; Bryna and Braga were as intelligent as their father.

"Theo, follow and take your daughter to the front." Dera ordered at last.

Theo assented and resigned as his hand was pulled by Bryna in a hurry. While Roseta is still frozen with a dead-end brain. The truth that was revealed before his eyes was an unexpected great surprise. Lily's daughter, the girl felt the same way as herself, harboring reality in that lonely age. Roseta was pounding her chest hard. It was so crowded that the air supply in the world was taken away and there was nothing left for him.

"You're a fool, Roseta. Hixes. Hiks." said Roseta judging herself.

"You're such a fool."

"You're stupid."

"You're an incompetent mother, Roseta. You're so stupid."

Roseta relentlessly rained down on herself with the statement, sobbing in tears lamenting her mistake. The looking Dera was no longer able to hold back tears. Although in silence, the mother of Theo also felt guilty because of the actions of her son.

Dera regrets that if only he had been able to convince Theo to look for evidence and talk again, maybe nothing would have happened. However, the cruelty and stubbornness of his son that makes Dera stop, also there are many other reasons that Dera can not overcome alone. The old woman was a coward and chose to seclude herself.

"Roseta, you're a strong woman. Believe what Mama says." said Dera.

Roseta was still down while sitting on the floor, answering Dera's words. "I'm stupid, ma. I don't deserve to be called a mother. I lost Braga. Now, I made a wound in Bryna's heart. I should be called a mother."

"Then how is it different from me, Roseta. My son made you suffer. Wouldn't I be more inappropriate."

Drove with each other's mistakes to make the room quiet without noise. Not long after Theo returned with Bryna sobbing in his carrier. The girl hugged Theo's shoulder and hid his face.

Theo shook his head as full of questions with the eyes Roseta showed approaching him. It's predictable, maybe Bryna fantasized again. Roseta often experiences this, where suddenly Beyna hysterically calls Braga's name. At first Roseta was also surprised and wished it was her son. But nil found, wanted to be searched anywhere, Braga is invisible.
