The Injured Heart
Chapters. 101. Finding the Existence of Anton (I)

Intan intends to look for Anton when Dion is 2 months old.

It was the day because Anton was responsible for what they had done.

It only occurred to Intan how troublesome it is to have a child, care for her own, not yet the mental burden of being sneered and talked by neighbors that have children without a father and so on.

Intan remembers when he just got home, he was greeted coldly by his aunt, Aya.

Intan looked down embarrassed when his aunt insinuated him by saying that Intan was like a nut forgetting his skin.

It is true that Shinta said that her mother Intan had died when she was in Junior High. His father survived taking care of Intan for almost 1 year. When Intan went up to 3rd grade Junior High his father left Intan for Sulawesi to work, but never returned home. When High School he heard his father had remarried and lived there and forgot Intan.

Intan then lives with her aunt Aya, who takes care of Intan until she graduates High School.

After graduating High School, Intan went to the city to work and continued college from the money he worked.

He never again sought and came to his aunt, so he understood very well when he needed to, his aunt insinuated him completely about the services of aunty on him, especially coming home with children without a husband.

Many residents who visited him but Intan held back and did not want to interact with them.

Intan once came out to bring Dion to sunbathe there was a neighbor of his mother who used to still recognize him.

" Intan..this is Intan yes," he asked by continuing to look at Intan.

" Yes ma'am, I'm Intan," she said.

" Well, I don't mean wrong, you're beautiful like your mother used to be" she said.

" Do you know my mother?" tanyanya.

" We used to be close friends in this village when she was a girl, but since your mother got married then we are no longer familiar, your mother is busy with family, she said, until finally I was taken to the next village by my husband, I never heard of your mother again.

But when I came back here, I heard your mother died, it was sad that my heart was a friend of my mother's when she was sad and happy" said the mother in silent memory of that time.

" This is your son, Intan?" tanyakanya.

" Yes ma'am" replied Intan.

" Where is your husband? You didn't come here with your husband?" ask again.

" No ma'am, he's in town" Intan said.

" Oh. I think you bring home a child without a husband like in the soap opera story that I often watch," he said with a laugh.

Intan smiled wryly hearing that.

As he talks about his aunt Intan, Aya comes out from inside, greeting her neighbor.

" Well there is Ningsih ma'am, tumben kemari ma'am," asked Aya .

" Yes Aya ma'am, I'm passing by again, keep looking at this Intan, I didn't recognize him, but I was curious to greet him because his face was no stranger to look like his mother when he was young," he said.

" Aya's mother already knows Intan's husband?" tanyakanya.

" Not ma'am, I never knew who her husband was, she came suddenly had a child, her marriage was a family do not know really," said Aya with a cynical tone.

" Oh that's right, I asked also not in Intan's answer, only in the answer is in the city," said Ms. Ningsih suddenly saw Intan.

Intan who saw it immediately brought Dion into the house.

Bu Ningsih then rushed home after saying goodbye to Aya.

Aya rushed into the house and looked for Intan, she saw Intan was wiping tears that dripped on her cheeks.

Near him he sat beside him, softly saying, "Intan .. tell me all, why did you return to this village after so many years you left and forgot? Aunty does not know what, the aunt shy neighbor on asking aunt, who are you, where is your husband, how to bring the child home, it continues what they ask aunt, aunt should answer what, what should, because you never told me" said Aya.

Intan was silent and then he replied shortly, "Aunty... What will the aunt's judgment be like the others to me?" tanyakanya.

" It depends.if you don't tell the aunt, how the aunt can know the truth," said Aya while staring at Intan.

Intan sighed then he told his tant, but not all of it, because of his little heart he still does not believe fully in his tant whom he is not too familiar with this tantenya in the time he existed until High School in his village.

" Why are you doing that Diamond, where is your pride as a Diamond woman? You sacrificed all of that just for the sake of treasure, want to live a good and rich life, but you forget you have lived a life that is not allowed by God" said Aya.

" Continue. Who is Dion's father? Don't you say you don't know his father.. Intan ! " said Aya with a rather high tone.

" I know who the aunt's father is" he said.

" Why don't you marry him and live with him? Are you divorced or are you wasted?" ask again.

Intan. Aya continued to look at Intan.

" Or... lest-don't you cast, huh Intan?" tanya aunt Aya full of search.

Intan was silent.

" Answer Intan.. Are you an actor?" ask again firmly.

When he saw Intan speechless again, Aya came to him and slapped him on Intan's cheek hard.

" It is fitting that you go home with the child, you put the aunt and family to shame. You're the gossip here, I'm ashamed to have a bang like you. Your mother was hurt by your father before, but your mother never made a family name ashamed, I was disappointed in you, Intan" said Aya angrily.

" You look for it's Dion's father, pity it will be great if he has no father, can be ridiculed his friends, do you not think until then Intan? What's in your brain it's just a moment's pleasure? I don't think my brother's son can be a actor, mbak Dewi. mbak Dewi. if you know your son like this what you become mbak.." exclaims Aya while wiping her tears calling the name of her brother who is gone who is none other than her mother Intan.

" Go you search .. lest I also become a gossip of the citizens you know their mouths here are sharper than razor blades, I do not want my children to suffer and be exiled because of your actions, sooner or later the people here will know all your rottenness, so you better go you Intan from this village, later the aunt will help you to leave you to find your son's father," said Aya while pointing at Dion who was asleep in Intan's lap.

" This child is innocent, he never chooses to be born by whom, but it is his parents who are wrong if they cannot provide a good and appropriate education and example. Therefore with you looking for his father, you can save his life later in his future," Aya said as he went to his room.

Intan pensively thought to himself, he thought of all the words of Aya, he should not be selfish, he should think about Dion's future.
