The Injured
We Love You's

Iyan was silent when the older brother asked about it. The reason Iyan has rarely visited Bu Parmi yes this. Iyan already suspected that his brother was the one who sent the sembako to Bu Parmi and also Anggi.

"Why silence?"

Echa was already staring intently at Iyan, while Iyan was already looking down deeply. There was fear in his heart.

"What brother do you consider? Why don't you tell me honestly with Brother?"

Echa's tone had already started to tremble. His eyes are red.

"I'm sorry, Brother."

Iyan said with his head still down. She knew her sister must have been crying.

"If you miss your mother, you tell your sister. We go to Mother's tomb. Pray Mother. Don't do this" said Echa.

"For almost two years now, Brother has been trying to be a mother to you and Riana. Brother is fighting so hard, so you don't feel lonely. There's a place to complain."

Echa's cry broke. Her efforts to become the surrogate mother of Iyan and Riana are in vain. His two sisters always covered everything.

"Sister."

Iyan hugged his brother's body. His mouth kept saying sorry.

"The wrong guy, brother. Iyan is sorry."

Longing for the mother, making Iyan even a bad boy.

"Iyan didn't go to school because ... Iyan help Anggi find a used bottle. Anggi's mother was ill at the time. Iyan can't bear it," he explained.

Echa's heart melos hearing Iyan's words. Echa was not angry with her sister. She was the one who felt that she had failed to become a sister to Riana and Iyan as well.

"Sorry .. outbound money and SPP from Brother Iyan use to pay the debt Mother. Iyan, Brother."

Echa hugged her sister's body. This is Iyan's fragility. It looks fine in fact it's not like that.

"Son't angry. Brother has only failed to be a surrogate mother to you." Iyan shook his head.

"Sister is the best mother Iyan has ever had. Sister is the most dear woman. Iyan, Brother. Missing makes Iyan like this."

Jojo who was beside Iyan wiped the edge of his eyes. He felt that Echa was very sincere about loving Iyan. There was no word of tiredness, even though he himself had three children.

Saturday morning, Echa and Radit invite Iyan and Riana to visit Bu Parmi. Riana who knew nothing just stared at her two brothers in turn.

"You will know."

Iyan's greeting was answered by Anggi who had showed off her sweet smile. However, that smile faded when he saw Radit and Echa.

"Np ... Aunt ...."

Anggi's index finger leads to Radit and Echa alternately. It was just a smile of sincerity that the two of them gave. Riana was still confused, not yet understanding her purpose of coming here for what. Who is that little boy too?

The sound of someone coughing was getting closer. Instantly Riana widened her eyes looking at Bu Parmi who was already in the doorway.

"Mother ...."

Miss Parmi looked at Riana with confused eyes. Moreover, Riana's eyes were already glazed over.

"Mother is dead" he murmured, shaking his head.

"Ri, this is Miss Parmi. Not Mother" explained Echa.

Riana looked softly at Echa. Her tears have fallen already. Echa hugged Riana's body.

"You miss 'Isn't the same Mother?"

There was no response from Riana. Only sobs were heard.

"What's up, sir? Why after seeing my sister crying?"

Radit just smiled. "My sister is reminded of her mother who has passed away."

Ms. Parmi is trying to connect one by one. Radit said the crying woman was his sister. The woman also called her mother just like Iyan.

"So ...."

Radit nodded, he touched Iyan's shoulder. "Iyan this is my sister-in-law, and the one who is crying is Brother of Iyan."

Ms. Parmi really did not expect what had happened. Two children who call her Mother.

"If you miss the same Mother. You guys can play here. You can see Mother in her original form."

Riana further tightened her embrace to Echa. Longing, anger mixed into one.

"Ri, don't want to see Mommy. Don't want to."

Echa rubbed gently on Riana's hair. She knew Riana was still holding a deep pain to her mother. His longing overcame the anger that was still lodged in his heart.

However, if in a dream, Riana will be very happy to meet her mother. It is different when you look directly. There was an invisible wound that was still gaping.

"Mom, thank you so much for sending me non-stop snacks. May the sustenance of Mother and Father be replaced by God."

"May God" answered Echa.

"We are willing to help. We don't want to see people around us starving. Thanks, it has become a solace for Iyan," explained Radit.

Riana kept whining to go home. Her heart was so unable to see Miss Parmi. Too sick to see his mother's face.

Arriving at home, Echa follows Riana. She was still crying hard enough.

"Ri, pity Mother. Mother will not calm if you still hold the same anger Mother," said the brother.

"Ri's not angry, brother. Ri is not ready to meet with mom. Even though it was just a person who resembled a mother. Ri's heart is torn to shreds."

Echa understands that. He held warm the body of his sister who was still sobbing.

"I'm sorry, Brother. Brother can't be a surrogate mother to you and Iyan."

Riana unraveled her embrace, she stared inside the sister. Then, shake.

"Sister is the second mother to Ri. The love that you give is more than what you give. Never say that, brother. Without Sister Ri it will never change."

Echa's eyes glazed over hearing this speech from her sister. Although, not the biological sister her affection was very sincere to the two of them. I always want to give my best to my two sisters. That's what Echa wants in the heart.

"Thank you, I'm willing to forgive Ri's mistakes. Guiding Ri to become a better human being. Loving Ri unconditionally. Thank you very much, Brother."

Riana tightened her embrace towards Echa. Echa's tears just shed. The words that sounded so sincere that Riana said.

In a different place, Rion was silent a thousand languages as he followed his children away to Bu Parmi's house.

"Amanda."

A name that could make Rion sick too deeply. A woman who had already given a very wide wound. Just because his son survived.

Rion did not reply, only giving a letter and a photo to Arya.

"Can't you?"

The question that came out of Arya's mouth when reading the parents' call letters because Iyan skipped school, did not pay SPP and also outbound. That letter Rion got from Radit. Rion is the father of Iyan. He deserves to know, even though Rion's risk of wrath is enormous.

However, Arya's lips locked when she saw the photo that Rion gave her.

"This ... Amanda?"

Rion shook his head, he leaned his body on the head of the sofa.

"similar only. He's also the one who made Iyan skip school."

Arya could not say. His mouth is like a slam.

"Iyan must have missed her mother."

Aryan's words that made Rion close his eyes. Follow the base of his nose that feels dizzy.

"Gua can't be father and mother to the cave boys."

Aryan's heart ached hearing Rion's words. A speech full of regrets.

"Lu is a great father" Arya denied.

"Your children are also very strong children" he continued.

Rion was still flinching. Her heart ached when she saw Riana cry. The one who looks the hardest hit left by Amanda is only Riana.

"Iyan .. He's a special kid. It was natural that he missed his mother. Especially from a small she was always ignored by Amanda."

There was no response from Rion. He's still frozen. However, it is undeniable that Arya's words are true.

"Riana ... the wrong child. It was fortunate that everything was quickly uncovered, so that he could become a very good boy now. Gua is sure, there is an invisible wound that Amanda gave to Riana. Riana wouldn't have cried if she didn't feel anything hurt."

The two men now began to fall silent. Wrestling with each other's thoughts.

"That you should think of is Echa. Your eldest daughter is like a wingless angel. Able to accept you and his two sisters with open arms. Loving them like their children."

"Lu is a very lucky father as well as your children. Without Echa, your kids wouldn't be like this."

Rion stared at the nanar towards Arya. His sad voice was clearly visible.

"Gua knows you're still heartbroken. Gua knows .. You can't forgive. The cave can't say anything. The cave can only say .. the cave is proud to have your kayak best friend. Children you prioritize by ignoring feelings. The cave can't be like you."

Arya hugged Rion's body. His friend is suffering from fragility. Only Arya is able to understand without having Rion explain.

Rion is hurt by Arya's emotions. His scathing mouth was eager to curse. But destiny says something else. The person he wanted to see was dead.

"Lu invite your three children to talk. Take your daughter-in-law as well. Without Radit, Echa wouldn't be happy. Your daughter-in-law is the dream daughter-in-law of all the in-laws. Not only love your son, but your family as well."

In the evening, Rion invites Echa, Iyan, Riana and Radit together. Plus his three grandsons who were actively running here and there.

"What's up, Dad?"

Confused and anxious face Echa showed. Not usually his father like this.

"Why did you cover everything from Dad?"

Echa stared at Radit, her husband just being flat. While Iyan was already bowed in.

"Whatever small problems you're facing, please tell Dad. If, Father is angry .. please drown out your emotions. Don't hide anything from Dad. You are the children of Father. Father's responsibility."

Hearing Rion's extremely soft words made the three of them bow deeply. No one dared to hold their head up.

"I'm sorry Dad ... I can't be a good father to you. Not being a father or mother to you. If, you miss your mother .. say the same Dad. Although, I can't forgive your mother yet, I will definitely take you to your mother's grave."

Riana and Iyan hugged Rion's body. Rion's words made their hearts hurt. Moreover, Rion said in a very heavy voice.

"Dad is the best father in our lives" Riana said.

"My Hero, forever."

Tears that have been shed, now also spilled. Echa stared at her father who was peeping the tip of Riana's head and Iyan alternately.

"Didn't you want to hug Dad?"

Rion's question makes Echa crumble to embrace his father's body which is a little aging. Her crying broke out in the warm embrace of the father.

"Thank you, you've always been there with me."

"We will always accompany Dad. We can't be far from Dad" replied Echa.

Rion broke his embrace. He cupped Echa's face and stared at the beautiful nektra that Echa had.

"The little angel that God sent to Dad. Thank you for loving your two sisters. Thank you for forgiving Dad. Thank you, Deck."

Echa shook her head, she wiped away the tears that had already flooded her father's cheeks.

"Echa is just a child who wants to be devoted to parents. Want to take care of Dad as much as Echa can because Echa is sure, many sacrifices have been made for Echa. Echa does not want to, just focus on seeing the black dot on the white paper. Let the black dot be a sweetener. Because everything was created side by side. There's black and white."

The corner of Radit's lips curved up perfectly hearing the words from his wife, while Riana was stunned to hear the words of her brother who was very touching her heart.

What is your heart made of, brother? Ri, want to be like sister. Ri, I want to change for the better.

"I'm sorry Echa, Dad. Echa can't make Dad happy. Haven't been able to give anything proud to Dad and always trouble Dad. It should be Echa who has replaced Dad in the store. But it is ...."

"You are Father's pride and happiness for Father. Without you, Dad wouldn't be this loud. There is no word of trouble from the father for his son. The reason you can't replace me is because of your kids."

Echa hugged her father's body very tightly. His love for his father is beyond anything.

"Reg ...."

Now, Rion called out to his daughter-in-law who was holding Aleena.

"Thank you for being Dad's daughter-in-law. Thanks for helping Dad a lot. Thanks also for making my son happy."

"Not to thank you, Dad. It's Radit's duty. Loving Echa means loving her family too. Blessing Echa means having to make her family happy too. As long as Radit can help, Radit will help."

It is fortunate that Rion has a son-in-law Raditya Addhitama. A man who is tough and stubborn who is able to melt the hardness of his heart. Now, be the companion of his eldest daughter.

Aleena came down from Radit's lap. He started to climb into Rion's lap. Seeing Aleena, his two brothers followed along.

"Tata Na Enton. Anan anise."

The tiny hand wiped away the traces of tears still remaining on Rion's cheek. While Aleesa and Aleeya had already hugged Rion's body.

"We love you, Dad."

The three children and Rion's son-in-law hugged Rion's body warmly which was also being embraced by his three grandchildren. The matchless happiness that Rion felt.
