Sharing Love: One Roof of Three Hearts
Visited

"Al.gue back with papi yes. Thank you for always being there for me" said Dita hugging Alana tightly on the doorstep.

The father and son debate ended peacefully. Rudi Setyawan chose to give up and forgive all the mistakes of the princess.

Dita's threat of asking to cross her name from the family card turned out to be powerful touching the deepest feelings of a father.

"How could papi throw you away, Ta? Papi is also wrong for forcing you to study abroad. If not, surely the fight will not happen, and you will not go to the club" said Rudi considering the incident that night.

But the rice has become porridge, which has happened can not be changed anymore. The existence of Dita with them is much more important. Let the mistake be a learning not only for Dita but also for her parents.

"Be careful on the road. So good boy, don't stop by again" Alana teased Dita.

"The most if I run away to your place" he laughed.

"Al, thank you for being good with Dita and also take care of this bad boy" said Rudi considering the help of Alana who had given advice to Dita until the girl wanted to come home.

Alana sent them away with sadness in her heart. He remembered his parents, especially his father. Rudi's love for Dita is very big, Alana does have a father, but she never got that kind of affection at all.

There was a huge urge in his heart to visit there. Since Lily's departure, they've never met again.

***

Alana was still standing in front of the house, staring at the place she had been living in for 12 years. The house brings itself back into the memory estuary, when it likes to be with Lily or even when the suffering given by her stepmother to her.

Alana remembers, as the torture lasted every day, until the years changed, and became a common thing that Alana faced throughout her life in the house.

Recalling that time, it made her heart feel pain again, then Lily's memories appeared. Alana remembers every detail of her fond memories with the older sister she loved the most.

Ah.lost said hello again. Just a week ago Alana came to visit Lily's grave. Once again he looked at the house. Squeezed the tote bag rope that he had been holding since. Wholeheartedly brought her many cookies and the kind of dry bread she had made in the store earlier. He hesitated to enter the house. Fear of his arrival is unwanted by his parents. He wanted to turn around but he wanted to see his father.

"Al.." the voice that called out her name made Alana look up, staring at the owner of the voice.

"L-lady.."

"Why are you just standing there? Don't you want to come in?" a soft voice that Alana had never heard during her stay with Santi, the woman now listened to Alana. The real form of a mother's voice in her child.

"Yes ma'am" Alana's voice trembled. There was a warm feeling in his heart until he was not aware of one clear grain descending on his cheek.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Santi approached, extending his hand to reach Alana.

"Ga papa ma'am"

Alana's step to come to the house turned out to be right. Bima was lying sick in her room. The man looked pitiful, his face looked disheveled and it felt growing older.

Santi pulled Alana forward even closer. "Dad, this is Alana coming" whispered Santi near Bima's ear to make the man wake up. Bima painstakingly sat leaning against the head bord bed.

"Al.you're here" he said glancing at Alana.

"What's the sick dad?" Alana approached and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Alana need not be surprised at the change in attitude of her parents at this time. Remembering Lily's last message asking them to get along and take care of each other was enough to resuscitate the two old men. Not until there, losing Lily makes the couple realize their mistake all along. Now they only have Alana who is a child.

At first Santi hesitates, does Alana want to forgive herself, and considers her a mother. Santi knows himself enough, if Alana does not want to consider them again, and wants to break up with them.

Not having children might be the right punishment for Santi, at least that's his thinking. But the arrival of Alana seemed to make his prayers of regret and apology acceptable to God.

"Mother, daddy why? what pain mom? why didn't you tell me?"

Santi sat down next to Alana, holding the girl's hand. "We don't think you want to consider us your family anymore. Even if you're acting like that, we understand, because you've been doing a lot of wrong to you"

What did mom say. You are forever my parents. Please don't talk like that again. You're my parents, I'm your daughter forever"

The two hugged each other, expressing a sense of haru in each other's hearts. Bima was not able to hold back tears seeing the moment.

"Father mother, next month I will marry bang Arun" said Alana slowly, afraid that her parents will be angry and think that she too soon married Lily's ex-husband, even at Lily's request.

"That's good Al. Poor Arlan must stay apart with his father" said Santi sincerely.

Feeling that both parents showed no objection or dislike, Alana's heart was relieved.

"Dad and mother will be there to accompany me on my happy day?" tanya Alana ventured to hold her father's hand.

"Of course we'll come. You're our daughter, shouldn't we be here?, shouldn't you, ma'am?" said Bima who was quickly embraced Santi.

***

Alana's feelings were so bright after coming home from her parents' house. His life felt complete with the parents who accepted him.

Before entering the house, Alana turned her head up into the sky. "Thank you God for all your miracles and gifts in my life"

"Hey, what are you looking at in the sky?" the voice of the man who had stolen his heart attracted Alana's attention.

"Again you home?" Alana excitedly walked towards Arun who was already standing at the doorstep by holding Arun welcoming him home.

"Udah from this afternoon. But Arlan's mother is not at home, but already misses really wanting to hug" muttered Arun who managed to make a hue on Alana's cheek.

"Arlan, say the same papa, mama is also very upset. Last time went to Santi's grandmother's house, Bima's grandfather was sick again" said Alana playing Arlan's cheek that made the child give his finger to Alana to ask to be carried.

"What's Al sick?"

"Ga wants to tell you. He said it was just soy sauce, not feeling well. But I promise you, if anything will come my way"

"Is there anything else? you look happy?" Arun stroked Alana's cheek so smooth.

"I'm so happy bang. Mom and Dad were so happy to see me. Now they have accepted my existence, accepted me as his son" Alana murmured so full of tears on her cheeks.
