With heavy steps and also vibrating this body, because honestly I am not so ready to meet my friend. There is a fear that haunts me that I am delving into the problems in my household by getting back in touch with Mimin, who is my ex-husband.
But I tried to shake that fear. I use this heart to help my best friend who must be in need of my help, do not let regret behind. All the fear I gave to God and I was sure God would not test me beyond my means.
After breathing deeply, and throwing away my nervousness. I again swung this leg to get into the room where Mimin was.
My eyelids immediately warmed up as these two eyes caught a figure I could still recognize. Skinny woman sleeps on her side, pale face has told me that the woman is quite sick.
"Mimin... Are you Mimin...?" ask me with a heavy voice. I just want to make if that woman is Mimin or not?
The two women's eyes opened and cries instantly sounded from her pale lips. The hoarse and soft voice made my heart even more crowded.
Long enough we hugged each other and sobbed in tears to let go of each other longing. "I know you're here from Sari. Where have you been all this time?" ask me once I don't see Mimin crying anymore.
My eyes see Mimin smiling thinly, there is a sense of pain in this heart when I see the condition of this friend of mine, let alone I see in his skin many blue marks as if he was experiencing physical violence.
"Yes I asked Sari to tell you and meet me. There are many things I pass without you by my side. Many forced me to stay alive until we meet again." I saw Mimin, looking down as if he wasn't strong enough to tell a story.
I grabbed his thin hand and I rubbed the back of my friend's skinny, wrinkled skin. Even though he's easier than me but it hurts to change his physique so much as if he's way above my age.
"Sari also said that if you have children, where is your child?" ask me again to shift the topic of our discussion that I believe Mimin is not ready to tell a story.
"That's Min, I asked you to come here. I want to take my son. I don't believe in Sari, I'm afraid my son will be taken by his father and my ex-husband's family" Mimin said with a tremble.
I frowned, confused. "But didn't she say your husband died when you were four months pregnant?" my question, follow Sari's words.
"I lied to Sari about it. My husband went back to that rich family. He didn't fight for me. She can't live hard, she's chosen to go back to her family, and divorce me when my son isn't born and doesn't know whose father." Mimin's crying broke again. I myself inhaled deeply several times to remove the tightness in my chest.
The one who experienced this is all Mimin, but why am I so tight in his chest. "Where have you been all this time? More than ten knew Min, you just disappeared. I even asked my friends no one knew. Good thing Sari knows you and we can meet again.
"I work in Kalimantan Lyd, and two years ago I returned to Jakarta and married my boss' son in Kalimantan our relationship from the beginning was not blessed. Even from college we were in a relationship, but broke up and met again two years ago until we finally broke up the marriage because I thought he would be serious about this relationship in fact not Lyd. I was left pregnant and she went back to her family. That's why I made up the story that my husband died at work, in Borneo. If I say that my husband is still alive and returns to his family to Sari, Sari may crash into David's house, and create new problems. I've cape dealing with that family. Therefore I want you to take care of my son, don't give him that David's family wants to take my son, because I won't let my son be raised by them."
I rubbed Mimin's back. "Why do you trust your son more, I take care of him, not Sari or your other friends?" ask me not to misunderstand.
"David knows Sari, David also knows my other friends, but David doesn't know you. So that my son will be safe with you Lyd. If with Sari, David can impregnate my son as well as with other friends," replied Mimin confidently. I nodded my head several times as a sign that I knew what Mimin meant.
"But what Sari and the others won't say to David about your son's whereabouts?" ask me again to make sure.
"Sari so far is reliable," replied Mimin confidently. I nodded my head confidently.
"Ok, I assume your son's problem is over, now it hurts you. What are you sick with? Why did your body come to this? Where have your medical expenses been?" I asked in a voice that shook from imagining my friend's life being so loud.
Again, I saw Mimin crying. I know it's a sign that her toughest test is her pain.
"I had a skin cancer when I had Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and it was declared cured after a routine treatment. And now the cancer cells are growing again with another type of Melanoma, which if this type of doctor says will not be able to heal, because this is the most fatal cancer cells. You can see what my body is like. I was diagnosed with pain for five months, but my body was done this way. I'm now just waiting for Lydia's death so I really hope you put Tiko, whatever the condition you do not give Tiko to others, let alone her father. I'm not willing," said Mimin with teeth clashing against each other signifies that the woman with thin body is very hate her husband's family.
I just have a lot of thoughts in my brain. "Does your family know your pain?" I asked because I knew Mimin still had a family.
"I only have a mother who is already in heaven. Papah and Abang, I presume to be dead," Mimin replied in a tone I knew he hated his brother and father.
"You're going to a hospital special kangker yah Min, pity your child if you have to lose you," I said in a half-forced voice. But instead I only saw the weak head of Mimin.
"Free Lydia. I'm gonna keep dying. I'm just going to throw money at the fact that I'm now waiting for my death. You just go home, and see doctor Sera, he whom I entrusted Tiko during my treatment here," said Mimin resignedly.
I'll come home later wait for Sari or your friend to come over to take care of you. I also want to hear your story all this time," I said confidently. How could I die Mimin alone again.
"Don't Lydia. Later free dong I leave Tiko with you, if my other friends know you brought Tiko. This is the reason I asked for your help, because I have less faith in them. I believe Tiko is safe with you. And remember after this if you can you don't call Sari again and you don't see me again, I'm fine," said Mimin who actually said that he was not okay.
I kept quiet for a long time and did not answer Mimin's words. I'm confused how to tell my husband about that kid? There's no way I'm saying Mimin's son. Some parents who want to give their children freely. Only Mimin was because he was forced to.
Anyone want to know the story of Mimin?
