The Fortitude of a Mother
An honesty

Didn't feel the time passed so fast, mirah and dori spoke ngalor ngidul to forget the time, while nana and soni? don't ask, the two boys have been exploring the large yard of the house since, they also saw the rubber factory and soap factory owned by Dori.

"Sir, there's a big, shady tree near the soap factory" Nana pointed at the tree.

"Remember! nana can't run away" soni warned her sister.

"Beres," answered nana.However, it is not ratna his name if not run, cheerfully he ran and jumped to jump towards the big tree.

Soni shook her head at Nana's behavior, who even jumped up.

"Nana, wait for brother!" soni's after his sister

But arrived...

It..brukk!

"Akkkhh!!

"Lady!!" soni shouted in panic, she immediately approached her sister.

Nana was crying hard, the boy tripped over the roots of a large tree that had arisen and fell, the fate of where the nana fell was that there were many pebbles, which if it fell hard would certainly make a wound, if it fell hard,he was too eager to run and jump up merrily, so oblivious to the huge root in front of him.

"Sister, nana's knees are bleeding," the boy whined his cry

"Let's see here" Soni looked at her brother's knee, and the wound looked quite severe.

"Nana wait a minute 'yes, I don't want to look for something first.

"Where are you? it's nana's knee really hurt," he whined

"You are looking for a cure, to stop the bleeding," replied soni, then he went to the banana tree near the soap factory, deftly he took the pointed stone and cut the banana leaf stone using the stone,after he managed to return to Nana's place

"Nana, here's your knee,"

"You want to be in whatever, brother?" the boy looks was

"His bleeding must stop" said soni, patiently explaining to his sister.

Slowly nana showed a fairly large wound, it was seen from the blood that came out is also quite a lot, then painstakingly soni rubbed the sap from the banana midrib to the wound on the knee nana.

"Aughh,augh! periiihhh brother, nana don't want to be dolesin banana sap again!" nana grimaced in pain, her crying was getting louder

Seeing and hearing his sister's cries getting tighter, with painstaking soni also blew his sister's knee niup.Hope to reduce the pain.

"Propay ya 'dek, hold it for a while longer, surely the pain will be reduced.The wound will also dry quickly and not easily infected," he said while stroking long hair nana

Inside the house, Mirah who was busy talking with dori.Sayup sayup he heard the cry of nana, which is super duper fast.

"Nana's crying voice, why the child?" mirah asked, then he and dori rushed to the origin of the voice of nana, which was increasingly heard clearly.And it turned out that it came from under a large shady tree near the soap factory.

"Yes Allah...! nana why baby?" mirah panicked, seeing nana crying.

"Luttut nana sakiiiitt ibuuu," he complained, with a still tight cry

"Why does it hurt 'hem?" mirah and dori crouched down looking at the boy's knee.

"Nana tripped over the root of the tree, then fell hard on a pebble stone," soni gave an explanation to her mother and her husband

"Definitely nana ran away 'yes?" mirah smiled gently then she blew a soft niup on nana's wound, hoping that in that way her son's cry stopped

"Mother rest easy, Soni has applied the sap of banana leaf midribs in his wound, staying in the dressing alone 'mum, so as not to get dust" he explained

"Sure dong! miraah's son,"

"Yes,iya, her son mother mirah is indeed extraordinary," dori chuckled, as well as soni

Mirah stepped under the shade of the shady tree, her heart gasped as she recalled her first sweet memories under the tree with herman.

Then the black netra mirah stared fixed ratna manggala, the daughter of mere puppets, the fruit of his love with herman.Tiba arrived his heart again throbbed in pain, considering that nana grew and grew without the presence and affection of the father.

Without feeling his tears melted, unstoppable.He sobbed accompanied by a breeze under the tree.

"Hikss, kang herman." he said softly, almost whispering.

But unexpectedly, when Mirah was whispering the name herman, pas coincides with the nana that approached her, automatically the word was heard by the jolly girl.

"Mom, who's herman really,why do you say his name?" nana asked curiously

Deggs...

The heart of Mirah beat fast, when he heard the question again.He felt in checkmate.

"Address dong ma'am, who's herman.Is that really her father nana?"

Dori who heard that also felt confused, what to say now to nana.

Finally, he could no longer pretend indifferently to the question of Nana, with heavy breathing and very forced he decided to reveal the truth.

Mirah nodded weakly, though,. "Yes, he's your father" his voice choked in his throat.

Hearing her mother's answer, nana's reaction was unexpected.

The boy remained silent, without a word.

After a long silence, finally a question came out of his small mouth.

"What does mom look like? nana's father?" simple question, but able to destroy the defense of the heart of Mirah.

"Darling, she's mirriip once with you.If nana looks in the mirror, try to observe your own face," with feelings like slashed and tears that continue to flow, try to observe your own face,he tried to stay strong when saying that even though his words were slightly brick.

"Is that so? is nana very similar to the father," he asked again, at this time curiosity about the father he just knew so big sloshed in the chest of the girl.

Again the heart of mirah felt very sad, but so he still nodded.

Still under the tree, now there is only mirah and ratna alone, dori had already left the mother and the child brought soni, soni,he could not listen to the question after question that nana asked her mother, he felt sick when he heard nana keep asking.

"Is nana's father still alive?

Mirah nodded again, unable to say a word.

"If he's alive, where is he now? why never see nana? don't you love nana?"

Hearing word for word from the little mouth nana who so felt slashing her heart, tqngisan mirah was broken.He was unable to hold his nahan again, he was as unwilling as he hugged nana.

"Honey, listen to mom 'yes, dad nana is still alive and he's a very nice person, he loves you.But now, your dad is working out of a very faraway island, and to come back here to see nana, he's got to know her,nana patiently 'yes, one day I will definitely go home," that's all I can say to the current nana, that's all I can say to the current nana,he hopes nana no longer talks about herman.Honestly he can not talk about the man anymore, especially if you remember his betrayal.
