The Injured Heart
Chapters. 137. Question Dion

After Marsih babysits Dion who is now almost 7 years old, Marsih still has a desire to please Dion and make Dion as comfortable as possible in everything.

Dion is now more accepting of the reality he had in his daily life as a child who no longer had a mother. He must see the children around him who are playing and spoiled by his mother.

That made Dion grow up to be a quiet boy.

Like today, when Marsih's mom took Dion for an afternoon walk with Dion on a bike.

Dion's cheerful face changed when he saw a child his age who was cycling with him suddenly fall and his parents ran over, hugging the crying child and his father carrying him.

That made Dion look at him. His eyes were wet and his heart was sad.

Marsih's mother, who saw it, hugged Dion and took Dion to sit on one of the park benches.

" Dion.. has cape not been on his bike? If we have cape home yuk," said mam Marsih sadly staring at Dion.

Dion shook his head and then lowered his head.

" Dion.. talk.. Don't you be sad like that, grandma knows Dion miss mama right ?" ask mama Marsih.

Dion looked at his grandmother, there were tears on his cheeks. Ms Marsih hugged her grandson and rubbed her hair.

" Dion miss mommy grandma.. Dion wants to be hugged mama again like before, Dion has no one but grandma and grandpa, where's daddy Dion nek? Is it still alive ?" tanyanya while crying bitterly.

Mum Marsih's heart seemed slashed to hear the outpouring of the heart of her grandson who was not ready to accept this reality.

Dion asked his father for so long he never asked his father.

This time he asked if his father was alive or dead.

Miss Marsih did not know where Anton's father was and maybe his father would never remember Dion.

It is unfortunate that this child was left behind by his mother from an early age, never knew his father since he was in the womb.

Ma'am Marsih sighed, then replied.

" Dion, don't cry my most handsome granddaughter. You do not have a grandmother and grandfather, remember what mom said .. if you miss Dion what to do ? " he asked Marsih while looking at Dion and wiping away her tears.

" If Dion misses looking at the photo of mama grandma," said Dion while sobbing - sobs.

" Hiks. hiks .. Dion must pray that Dion's longing for mama may sound like a grandmother's mother.Hiks "Dion said, sobbing again.

Miss Marsih shed tears, her heart screamed at the innocent words of Dion who longed for her mother.

He nodded and said loudly.

" Dion's a smart kid, don't cry. Pray to God, your mother is always in your heart, "

Then Dion wiped his tears and asked again, "She, is Dion still alive ? did she die like my mom?" tanyak .

For a moment, Marsih was silent and replied.

" Your father's been dead since Dion was in your mama's womb" Marsih said.

He did that because he did not want Dion to be hurt more by the fact that there if Anton refused.

When Intan tells her that she is pregnant with Anton's child, Anton dodges and says that it is not his child, especially now that Anton has not known where, for years, surely when he was told he still would not admit Dion.

" Papa's dead too? that means Dion has no papa and no mama ?" tanyanya sad.

Grandma nodded and said, 'Yes, baby... Dion now has a grandmother and grandfather who will always be there for Dion "he said sadly.

Dion fell and bowed. He was sad and could not be spoiled with his parents anymore.

" Let's go home, grandpa must be hungry at home. Dion wants to have dinner, grandma wants to cook a good meal for Dion and grandpa" said Marsih mom taking Dion home.

Dion nodded and got on his bike and went home with his grandmother .

" Grandpa.. Dion loves Grandpa" he exclaimed and immediately embraced his grandfather.

" Well, my most handsome grandfather's grandson has come home. How did you get on your bike ? heart-heart do not speed later grandma left behind loh " said grandfather, confused asking in his heart after returning home from the streets hugging him tightly.

But grandpa hugged her back and teased Dion.

" So Dion was slow on the cake, poor grandma left," said Dion laughing.

" Tomorrow grandfather teach you again how to ride a bike on the climb yes," said grandfather.

" Great.grandfather wants to teach Dion again, promise yes kek. "he said while taking out his little finger to be associated with the finger of the sign grandfather had promised.

Grandfather followed Dion's will and nodded.

" Now Dion takes a bath, Grandma wants to cook. What are you guys having for dinner ?" ask grandma.

" She wants fried rice or chicken" said Grandpa.

" Dion is also fried rice but uses shrimp," said Dion looking at his grandmother.

" Okay.gain there are materials, yesterday it was bought in the market. Grandma to the kitchen first yeah, Dion took a shower and grandpa kept watering. Later we will attack the fried rice of grandma yes," said the grandmother as she entered the house.

Dion laughed and headed for the bathroom.

At exactly 7 o'clock they were gathered at the dinner table. Dion devoured his food, he loved his grandmother's fried rice. For Dion his grandmother's fried rice is second to none. The three of them ate

Time shows Dion has to sleep at 20:30 because school tomorrow.

Grandma accompanied Dion to sleep, and Dion was still sleeping by infiltrating her body.

After he fell asleep, Grandma went out of the room and headed for the front room.

Grandpa was watching TV.

Grandpa approached him and sat down next to him.

The silent atmosphere they both were engrossed in watching the news being aired.

Suddenly he turned to his mother and asked.

" Mom.. What happened to Dion when Dion walked the street with my mother ?" ask him to open the conversation.

" Why do you ask like that ?" ask mother.

" Freak father suddenly Dion hugged the father tightly, not usually the child like this behavior. As if he doesn't want to be away from us, what's wrong mom ?" ask father back.

" So Dion saw a child riding a bicycle also fall, and his father and mother ran to hug and hold him. Dion immediately fell silent and lowered his head, he remembered Intan. Before long he cried in his mother's arms and said that he missed his mother and asked who his father was, whether he was alive or dead" he said.

" What do you say about her father ?" ask father then.

" Mom answered his father had died from Dion in the womb.

I don't want to sir if Dion knows he still has a father, but the truth is Anton has rejected Dion. Intan once told her mother that when Anton found Intan to account for his actions Anton evaded and said that it was not his son, who knew it was someone else's son. So Intan left Anton after a few months Anton financed Intan's pregnancy" said the mother as her eyes glared away considering all that.

" If Dion knew his father was alive, he would have asked to see Anton. We don't know where Anton is now, and if we meet up, will Anton acknowledge Dion as his son? If Anton turns down Dion in front of him, is Dion ready ? Wouldn't add to Dion's grief and heartache.

The trauma of sadness left by Intan has not disappeared in his heart, do we have the heart to see him getting hurt if later his father rejects him too?

That's sir the reason mom said her dad died so Dion's heart wouldn't be shaken again sir. Indeed the mother had lied but the mother felt it was better to do this than to see my grandson hurt and grow up in the grief of his father rejecting him" said the mother at length explained.

Mr. mangosteen-manggut understand now why Dion when meeting him hugged tightly

Pity and want to protect his grandson so as not to be hurt and can survive the trials of life makes them both will protect him from everything that makes his grandson sad.
