Arrive in a building that is a gate carved in bali or natural stone attached to the front facade of the house. Mr. Ratih looked at Mr. Rendra who seemed hesitant to go down.
"Let me come down if you have any doubts. I think as a fellow mother and a woman, she'll understand how I feel." Said Mrs Ratih while pushing the car door.
He entered the house with an Angkul-Angkul. Angkul-Angkul is a traditional Balinese house gate that has a magnificent design and is very interesting to see. There are large courtyards in some parts of the house made using mountain stone, there are also other parts of the house made of wood and bamboo.
When he arrived at the door, he was greeted by a housekeeper. Bu Ratih enters and sits on a distinctive chair with Balinese carvings.
"Sorry Mom, wait a minute. Niang Ayu is at Mrs Ratih's house." Said the Assistant.
Not yet had Bu Ratih told the assistant that he wanted to see Ratih not the one named Niang Ayu, but the woman who was about 30 years old had disappeared from behind the curtain. Shortly thereafter came the figure of a woman who was pushed in a wheelchair by a woman who was none other than Ratih.
"Sorry who are you?" Niang said confused because he did not know who his guests were.
"I'm Rendra's wife. I am Ratih Purwaningsih."Hilman's Mother.
Both of Gede's mother's netra were perfectly open. He did not forget the name of the woman. The woman who became the wife of her ex-husband. And because he was also Mr. Rendra at that time desperately refused to recognize Gede in the court of Religion. Though Ratih Mayanti aka Gede's mother did not want to return or ask for property, but only asked that her son was born in this world right on the relationship that was memorized so that the name of his father in the birth certificate. The effort he put in before ended up in vain. He even had time to get terror and threats while still busy fighting in the religious court to prove that Rendra is the biological father of his son, until he met a good person like Niang Ayu.
"Would you like to come here?" Ask Mother Gede with a cynical look.
The pain that had dried up, the wound that she had long buried was now open again because of the presence of the woman who was present in the life of her ex-husband. They are just victims of Mr. Rendra's displeasure in the household and the people closest to him.
Niang who looked at Ratih's face and tone of speech, held the hand of the woman he had considered his own child.
"Train, sit down first..." Remember Niang.
Train is sitting. He sat down by Niang Ayu's side and faced Mr Rendra's wife.
"I'm here to apologize to you." Said Ratih slowly.
Mother Gede was silent. He did not know what she meant by suddenly coming and apologizing.
"What's wrong with Ratih? It just so happens that your names can be the same." Niang Ayu.
"Indeed, the one who should be here is my husband. But he did not dare to come here. I am here to represent my husband. I apologize for all the work my husband has done."Said Mrs Ratih.
"Will he meet his end until he apologizes and needs my forgiveness?" Ask Mr. Rendra's ex-wife.
"I think that's been going on long enough. You shouldn't have come here that way I don't remember the pain that the man you call my husband has inflicted. With you here.,.. Hix... The wound was open again, it hurt, it hurt so much if I remember my time begging him. At that time I only asked to be admitted that the child I bear and gave birth to was his son. Butwhat? Insults, insults and threats I get. I will never forgive him, until my bones are calcified in the grave, I will never forgive him!" Said Mr. Rendra's ex-wife who was already in tears.
He was very hurt, because Mr. Rendra he had a difficult time. His son was also frequently bullied. Not to mention that he struggled to always say that his father had died, until Gede found the truth that he was not recognized by the man he should have called Papa. From a photo, Gede searched for information. Until Gede ever since then also have heartache although not to the level of revenge.
"Hiks... Hix... I beg Mom.. I beg you. I need you guys.." Mr. Rendra's wife's crying broke instantly. He even knelt before Ratih.
Hilman's mother was crying with her hands cupped.
"I'm sorry, my husband, I need your child's help." The words of Mr. Rendra's wife were full of sobs, and it was not able to shake the heart of Mother Gede.
"Radise... Stand up, son..." Niang Ayu looked at Ratih not to ignore the apology of Ratih kneeling before him, asking Ratih to stand up.
"I beg you... hiks.. I beg you..." Back Mr. Rendra's wife humbly.
"Owh, so you're not here to sincerely apologize. Want help from my son? What kind of help can an illegitimate child, a daughter of a j@l@ng girl give? the daughter of a blackmailer!" Said Mother Gede who was also covered in tears.
His heart ached, he remembered all that Rendra had done in the past, he had hurt, dumped, and insulted him. Stupidity in the past makes him who only capitalized on love just want to get married without a clear status in the eyes of law and country. And it affects his son only.
Mr. Rendra's wife is more downcast in shame, he inevitably must be able to reach the heart of Mother Gede.
"I beg mom, as a fellow woman, you know it hurts to have children and now lie helpless, we can't do anything. Please, my son is suffering from leukemia, he needs a bone marrow donor from someone who has a blood relationship with him." Said Ratih who had approached in the direction of Mother Gede.
Doctor Gede's mother did not budge. The heart that was already sick, is now back to getting sick. His back then just wanted something not out of regret.
"Oh, so because you need something from us and now you and your husband are willing to grovel and humble themselves?" Said Ratih while wiping his tears with the back of his hand. He did not expect, Rendra and his wife came with the aim of apologizing because it took Gede in order to donate his spinal cord.
"Isn't Gede not Mr. Rendra's son. He doesn't have a father!" Said Ratih with a shouting voice and tears flowing profusely.
"Patience. patience.control your emotions..." Remember Niang Ayu who held the hand of Ratih who had now stood up.
The mother raised her index finger again.
"Look! Ibu Ratah Purwaningsih! At any time, you won't get what you want! Gede would never donate anything to anyone or his descendants who had harmed him, who had cut the wound. A wound that has been imprinted in will not disappear even if this body is buried, all I will demand later on the day of the court, he said, I will sue your husband who has hurt me even my whole life!" The voice of Ratih was so full of emotion. Just as he was about to leave the room, a male voice restrained his steps.
"Right...."~~~~
