THE FRATERNITY
Adam's Disappointment at His Mother
"How dare you hurt my sister. Who told you to, huh?!"
"Who are you really? Why do you call me your sister? As far as I know, I'm only an only child and Mama never said anything to me let alone talk about me having a sister. Is there still a lie Mama hasn't revealed?" the inner Adam now had his eyes fixed on his mother as if asking for an answer to her question.
Utari who noticed the gaze of her youngest son, looked back at him. "What's up, hum? Why look at Mama like that?" ask Utari.
Adam still stared faithfully at his mother and right in her eyes. "Is there anything I don't know, Ma?" ask Adam.
"What do you mean, baby?" ask Utari.
"Has Mama's lie been exposed all this time? Is there anything else your mom hasn't revealed to me? Is there anything else you've kept secret from me?" asked the faithful Adam to look at his mother's face.
Utari just froze. Does he not know what to answer? He is really confused at the moment.
"Ma, answer! Do not be silent" Adam pleaded. Adam was still silent.
"alright. If you don't answer my question. I'll find out myself. But remember! Until I found out Mama still kept secrets from me and I knew those secrets. I will never forgive neither Mama nor Mama's depraved husband. I'll be completely gone from Mama's and all of you's lives forever. Where you all will never be able to reach again!" snapped Adam.
DEG!
They were shocked to hear Adan's words. They were really afraid of Adan's words.
"Honey. Don't talk like that. Never leave Mom. Mama can not and can not lose you," said Utari who was crying.
"Mama made me like this. For years, my mom lied to me about my dad. Mama said that Papa had died a long time ago. But in the end Mama admitted that Papa was still alive. Mama know? How did I feel when Mama told me that Papa was still alive? I'm happy, Ma! I'm very happy. Means my status is the same as brother Ardi and brother Harsha who both have a Papa. But what mom did to me. At that time Mama also said that Papa did not want me, Papa dumped me, Papa did not want to admit it and Papa said that I was the illegitimate child Mama with the affair of Mama. Mama made me fly when she heard Papa was alive. But Mama made me fall when she told me Papa's depravity," said Adam who had cried.
"I'm sorry, Mama" said Utari, who also cried.
"Not the sorry word I want right now, Ma! All I want is for Mama to be honest with me. No more secrets. I'm tired of my mother's attitude of lying to me. Tell me, do I have a brother or am I just an only child in the family?" ask Adan with his high tone.
All the beings in the room could only silently watch Adam's anger and disappointment in his mother. Then Yodha, the grandfather, approached the bed of his favorite grandson.
"And" call Yodha softly.
Adan turned his face towards his Grandfather with eyes reddened from crying.
"Are you sure you want to know one more secret you don't know from your mama?" yodha asked her grandson.
Adan nodded as his answer. He really wants to know. He was tired of all this.
"But you have to promise grandfather. Whatever Grandpa says later. Grandpa asked you to accept everything. Grandpa doesn't want any hatred in you" Yodha said.
"I will do it" replied Adam.
Yodha only smiled hearing the answer from her grandson. Then Yodha stood right between Evan, Garry and Danish.
Adam sees his grandfather standing between Evan, Garry and Danish.
"Adam. These are your family. This is Evan, your real papa. This is Garry, your eldest brother and this is Danish, your second brother. And you're the youngest son of your father." Yodha spoke while looking at her grandson's face.
Adan was still staring at the three faces of the man standing in front of him. While Utari looked at her youngest son in fear. Fear of anger, fear of disappointment and fear of losing his youngest son. No exception to other family members. Like Uncle, Aunt and his cousins. They know how the character and stubbornness of a Dirandra Adamka Abhimanyu?
"Adam" call Evan.
Adam was silent and did not show any reaction.
"It's Papa, son! Your birth papa. You can be angry at Papa. You can hit Papa. You can slap Papa. You can do anything to Papa. But never hate Papa. Never stay away from Papa. Give Papa a chance to make up for everything." Evan spoke while looking at the handsome face of his youngest son. And don't forget the tears that have fallen on his face.
No answer came out of Adam's mouth. Adam chose silence.
"Sa-honey," call Utari.
"I want to go home" said Adam.
"But you're still sick, Dam," said Harsha.
"I want to go home now!" say Adam again.
"alright. Uncle will talk to the doctor first!" exclaim Davan, then leave the nursery Adam .
"Adam. Are you seriously going home?" ask Ardi.
"I've never messed with my words, brother." Adam said with ketus.
"But you've just been in the hospital, Adam and you haven't had two hours of treatment! Your condition is still weak" Juan said.
"I don't care. Die though I will," Adam replied without regard for his family's gaze.
"And so. Watch what you say. That's a prayer you know!" bentak Dzaky's.
THE CLUCK!
Adam's ward door was opened. And Davan came in.
"How's it?" ask Bagas to his sister.
"Adam was allowed to go home. On condition that Adam rest for one week!" Davan.
"How, Adam? Do you want to do it?" bagas asked his stubborn nephew.
"Okay" Adam answered briefly.
They can only resign and shake their heads to see the behavior of Adam when he was angry.
"I'm not going home. I'm gonna go home to Grandpa's apartment and live there by myself and I don't want you guys bothering me!" Adam spoke flat and coldly.
"But baby," Utari turned frantic.
"Mama and all of you don't have to worry. I just wanted to calm my mind. I will definitely go home again" replied Adam.
Again they can only go. No matter how hard they force. A Dirandra Adamka Abhimanyu does not like coercion. And they helped Adam to get out of his bed and leave the hospital as Adam wished.
