The Fortitude of a Mother
The arrival of cu'eng

"Why else would you see me? I really don't like to see you, you traitor!" mirah said cynically, this afternoon Herman returned to meet Mirah, and apologized to the woman who was still the wife, but not the apology received by the man, will but only the hatred of Mirah.

After crossing the time a few days ago, with the extraordinary events that he experienced, now Mirah is more contemplated with all the wonders, he so thought about all his experiences in the past, he said,was it just a dream or did it really happen? right he was pondering all, suddenly Herman came to apologize, just contact it made Mirah upset instead of playing.

"Don't say that, however, let me be your husband and you're my legal wife now" Herman said with an annoyed look on his face,his hope to make up with Mirah was gone.Seeing once from the way the mother of one child spoke to him, it was very unfriendly.

"Yes, our status is indeed husband and wife, but because of a compulsion for me to accept it, and if you know, I have never sincerely remarried to you," said Mirah so cynically

"Come, sir.., get rid of the grudges in your heart, forgive my past that hurt you and so'all my deeds with the Spirit, That's," whether consciously or not Herman talks like that

"It's true not to know yourself, as you know.When we are forcefully married, I actually intend to accept you again with a free heart, even though it is not sincere but I am determined to forgive all your fears, but I need time, he said,and need to build trust again in you who have fallen apart first, but unexpectedly, you are very impatient and even more destroying everything like dust, with all the betrayals that you and Rohanah did, he said,and what you did to my daughter Ratna, that was enough for me not to give you a second chance,!" concluded Mirah at length, who then he immediately went from the presence of Herman, really the woman was really sick of seeing a bad man in front of her.

After listening to all the narration of Mirah, Hermann was amazed, all the events and mistakes made by him and Rohanah turned out to have really made Mirah Close the door of her heart tightly.

"Hhhh...,"

Herman let out a heavy sigh, everything had become porridge, nothing could be fixed he thought.

***

In the city of bandung the day passed by a handsome man with narrow eyes really feels always cloudy, there is no brightness and cheerfulness as before.Although every day he always spent with work and work,but the shadows of Mirah and Ratna always filled his mind.

"Please, take me to the panjalu" he said one day to omi, because he could no longer stem the longing in the heart,so with a pile of courage he was frank about all his longing for omi.

Momentarily sighed and stared in cu'eng's eyes with an indescribable gaze, of course omi like that, because a month ago he got the news that Mirah had remarried to Herman, and that she had married her husband,and he really could not tell everything to this superior man in front of him.

"Actually Mirah and Ratna had returned to town B two months ago," right now only that word could be said,omi can't imagine the cu'eng's reaction when she finds out that Mirah has remarried.

"Is that so? a good! then I will go there this afternoon, if there you do not need to take me, I still remember the way." he said enthusiastically, then without waiting for approval omi cu'eng immediately ready to leave, he said enthusiastically,

"May you be fine after knowing everything," omi sighed heavily, she was very worried about the state of cu'eng after knowing the truth.

Cu'eng with the feeling of flowering flowers, then choose the clothes to be worn, and the choice fell on the white t shirt and blue jeans Dongker bell bottom model, then paired with shiny black shoes tipped taper, then paired with black shoes,the hair in the neat comb of the parfume is prottkan, after everything is considered neat cu'eng rushed to reach for the car key and prepare to gas, but there is something he lacks, according to him,then he went back into the house to grab a pair of jeans with his pants did not forget the Aviator sunglasses.

"Perfect," murmured cu'eng with a fluffy smile as he reflected in the rearview mirror of his car.

The car drove unhindered through the streets of bandung city, on the road cu'eng stopped for a moment at the flower shop and jewelry store Pak Rahardjo subscription, the,he cheerfully bought a bouquet of red roses and a pair of gold earrings with rare pearls at a pretty fantastic price, then for a moment he thought of something.

After the flower and jewelry business is finished now the goal is the boutique subscription Kaka-in-law who is none other than Bu Rima, Cu'eng choose a beautiful dress for Ratna in line with her sling bag, which is,then he also bought a beautiful dress for Mirah and disah and Musa, not to mention by others.

"Everything is perfect, I hope that Mirah will accept everything," muttered cu'eng full of hope

Then he went back on his journey

***

At home somehow Mirah felt her heart pounding uncharacteristically, like there was something happy but somehow, her heart suddenly felt good, after a day full of frustration to Herman, how not? the man was now staying there, and Rohanah was following him.Since the woman continued to spray mirah then Herman immediately brought his wife to the room to persuade and calm her, Herman,and I don't know what else they're gonna do, Mirah really doesn't care.

The clock was showing at half-nine in the evening, suddenly the ears of Mirah, separated, Moses and Ratna who were relaxing on the porch of the house heard the sound of the roar of cars on the street down there,because the house is denied to be on the hill so the vehicle like a car can not get to the front of his house, and in the middle of the atmosphere of a quiet village and there is never a vehicle to get there, there is no vehicle,of course, it made them look at each other.

"Don't Mom, the sound of the car?" ratna broke the mood

"Yes mother of horrors,"

"Emak also shits 'honey,"

"Father too" said Moses

"Who's 'yes, about?" curiosity peaked in Mirah's heart and all

"Ah, the turn of the forestry minister, again patrol," said Musa

"The hell's a uncle? mr. Kardan, it is not unusual to take a car, usually he cycled around, after all it was night, where maybe he wanted to go around," debated a little with the husband

"Here you go, let's continue eating the fried banana," Mirah picked one hot fried banana and ate it voraciously, after which she sipped a refreshing hot tea.

"You..," suddenly he said, but paused

"What are you, brother?" Mirah frowned, but continued her activities

"Enak' yes, fried banana and its tea?" suddenly there came an intoxicating voice and smell of parfume that was so familiar to hear in the ear of Mirah, when her neck felt goosebumps, because it was impossible for her to think there was a man here.

"Son't you hear and smell something?" instantly he tightened his seat to the side.

Mirah who turned her back to the entrance to her house did not realize the arrival of cu'eng, but Moses and Ratna realized the arrival of the handsome man, but cu'eng hurriedly attached the index finger to her lips, and then she turned to him,and everything can only be gawked according to cu'eng's request

"Yes, I don't hear and smell it either" said disah, like a fool

"Mir.., calm down first.Try looking behind you," pinta was cursed and Moses

"Fear ah brother,"

"Don't be afraid 'mom, there will be Nana.Mother turn around, look at the strangeness of mother," Ratna pinta again.

Doubtfully and fearfully Mirah turned back,

"Surprise," cu'eng offered a bouquet of flowers not forgetting to smile sweetly, and unfortunately it added to the man's good looks, many times, the sweet smile was only given to mirah and Ratna only, and unfortunately, it increased the man's good looks,and not to anyone else

A second later Mirah was like being in another world she was so stunned, fascinated by what she saw, wanting to jump in kisses and let go of all the longing that had been buried all this time in her heart

"You-you?" he pointed at cu'eng nervously.

"Yes, here I am.Is there no hug, beauty?" the bright cu'eng stretched out his arms hoping that Mirah would jump into his arms

"Ish, you're coming straight annoying," Mirah turned a reddened face in embarrassment, while Ratna without ba BI Bu immediately jumped the joy of her god rescuer

"Pa cu'eeenggg! Nana misses you altogether, "the girl is spoiled, and immediately gets a kiss of affection at the top of her head.

"Where are you, honey? how's your feet ' son?" cu'eng's eyes glazed over, when reflexes examined the girl's legs

"Nana's healthy dong 'paak, mother and father take good care of Nana" he replied cheerfully

"Good," cu'eng said in relief

"Nana, let her cu'eng sir sit down and rest, sure to be very tired of being on the old journey," disheveled and Moses rebuked Ratna

"Leave it 'sister," cut the cu'eng

"How are you guys?" tanyanya later

"Thank God we are well, as you can see" they answered in unison

"You how?" the question turned to Mirah, who was asked now his mind was raging with the possibility that happened if Herman saw the arrival of cu'eng

"Ah,em.., I am as you can see, alright," replied Mirah nervously

"Hmm, yeah, you're still the same as you used to be, you even look prettier now," cu'eng no longer hide his feelings, it's enough to hold everything back a few years, now it's time to uncover all, thought the man.

Mirah's face reddened, she felt happy and embarrassed to hear the praise of cu'eng, while Ratna laughed giggly watching it, other than with disah and Moses, they just exchanged lyrics and look at each other like they were communicating.

later then...

"Sorry mr cu'eng, what do you need to come here at night?" ask Moses to the point

"I came here on purpose, because I missed Ratna and.., her mother," he said reflexively staring at the net depths of Mirah.

In the face of a surprised and wrong behavior, while Moses and denied no less surprised, and could not say what.

"Sir, I want to speak four eyes to Mirah," pinta cu'eng

He was distraught and Moses nodded his head, and invited Ratna into the house.

"Darling, we're boobok, both mother and father 'yes, his boobok," persuaded disah, and it's not difficult because Ratna already looks sleepy, has seen several times the girl yawned.

"Come' mak! sir, Bu, Nana bobo first 'yes, he said parting," cu'eng and Mirah took turns peeling Ratna, then the boy was carried by disah towards his room.

The situation became very quiet, after the death of Moses, separated and Ratna, now the two people became awkward, after a long time did not meet, actually their hearts jump happily, can be close together and together like that, and so on,but they tried to withstand all the surges Matian died.

"Rah..," call a gentle cu'eng.

"Hmmm..," replied Mirah nervously.

Cu'eng tightened his seat, then he grabbed Mirah's hand and clasped her tightly.

"I miss you so much, Mirah," cu'eng kissed the woman's hand gently, as if channeling all her longing

Seerrr...

Mirah's blood rippled violently, along with the whirring of the wind that blew...
