"You've had an accident too?" Papa Sultan was surprised.
"Yes bang, but thank God I and Asep's mang survived, and it happened the day before the tragedy that took away all my family."
"Why can Asep mang suspect your own om?" Investigate the increasingly curious papa Sultan.
"Asep said that he heard himself that the man who was going to kidnap me that night was saying the name of Johan,,, that is,,, but Asep's mang had no evidence so he could not report Johan to the authorities, even Asep and his family were threatened with death, that's why Asep chose to run away from my house and go back to his hometown."
"But Asep's mang didn't dare to take me home, fearing that Johan's people would pursue him and search for him to his hometown. After taking his wife and children to the Bandung terminal, Mang Asep invited me to take a train. I don't know where Asep's mang is going to take me, which I know at that time was a very long journey."
Mother Lin paused for a moment her story, she rubbed the clear feathers that fell down her two cheeks.
"Mom, do not continue if you are unable to tell it," said Mr. Ilyas who seemed worried about his wife.
"It's okay well, it's time for the truth about my past to be revealed,," said Lin's mother as she stared at her husband with a look of remorse, "sorry, "sorry, if I never tell you the true events also to your late mother and father" he said. "Because I'm afraid, those people are still looking for me and will find my whereabouts if I reveal my identity" he continued.
Mr. Ilyas shook his head softly, "you're not wrong ma'am, there's no need to apologize,, circumstances that force you not to say anything about your identity, right?" Said Mr. Ilyas gently, trying to calm his wife.
After Lin's mother felt quite calm, "the train that took us stopped at a station, I don't know for sure where it was. I just read the sign that read Tawang - Semarang station. And it was at the station that Asep left me alone, before leaving that he kept warning me not to return to Jakarta, because he thought it was very dangerous for my life. He gave me some money and then left me," Lin's mother could no longer hold back her tears.
Everything in the room was deliberately giving room to Lin's mother to spill all the grief she had been pending all this time, Nabila hugged the father tightly and also sobbed to hide his face in his father's chest.
Joseph seemed to hold tightly to his wife, who was involved in the novelty of the story of Lin's mother.
Mama Sekar hugged Lin's mother while stroking her sweet sister's back, trying to channel strength and provide calmness.
After a while, Lin's mother continued the story, "in the midst of my confusion who felt alienated and alone in a place I didn't know at all, I met a kind husband and wife and he offered me to go home with him."
"They both took care of me and loved me like their own daughter, they also changed my name to Lintang at my request because they wanted to hide my identity. You said deliberately just translate my name into Javanese, so that the little name given my parents remain attached to me."
The atmosphere in the living room momentarily became silent,,,
"It's not your fault brother bule, don't feel like it's bang,," argued Lin's mother, trying to appease papa Sultan.
"Lantas, who is this kind parent to you? Does he still exist? Where's the place he lives?" Papa Sultan asked with a series of questions.
"They are both dead, the father and mother who took care of me are the parents of my husband" Lin's mother said, glancing at her husband.
Ilyas smiled in a knot, he set his breath and tried to remember, "when he was first brought home by my father and mother to the house, his psychic condition was a bit less good. Maybe because of trauma, so he often cry, likes to be alone and even does not want to eat if not forced." Mr. Ilyas began to tell me, "and it lasted up to a week more" he said.
"My father and mother were confused about how they had tried to do it, but the latitude was still the same as when they first came home, even worse because the food that goes into his body is just a little so his body looks very thin," he said with sadness.
"Until then my father and mother called me to come home immediately to help calm Lintang, when I had just entered the third semester. See for yourself the conditions of latitude, and the little story of my father how he was found alone and crying in confusion at the station made me decide to take a semester off and focus on accompanying and entertaining Lintang."
"So, the relationship of Mr. Ilyas and the Star is the term 'witing trisno jalaran soko kulino' is right?" Ask Mama Sekar with a seductive smile to the Stars.
"Ih, mbak this flower you know," suluk Bintang or mother Lin. "It's old as well still like the ignorant turns out,, I think it's lost its ignorance and ignorance," he continued, sneering.
Nabila who heard the joke of her mother and mama Sekar smiled widely, "it turns out that the ignorant nature of Rehan derives from her mama tho?" His whispers in his heart.
"Yes, so did Sekar," replied Ilyas, smiling shyly, "initially he was just a little brother who needed attention and had to be helped, but over time our attention to each other changed... and he has managed to become the thief of my heart" he continued with a chuckle.
And all who heard also chuckled,,,
"Stupid does come unexpectedly, we as humans are obliged to do it, but God is all-willing," continued Mr. Ilyas with a happy smile, recalling his love story with Lintang which started from foster brother and foster sister, then rose to the status of body guard as well as heart guard.
"Oh yes sir Ilyas and Bintang," for a moment papa Sultan stopped his words and turned to the Bintang, "sorry brother prefers to call you Bintang, do not mind?" Ask papa Sultan.
The star nodded, "no problem bang, I will also still call brother with the name brother bule," replied Lin's mother smiling.
