The Substitute Mother?
17. Go away

Brakkk ...

"Bundaaa .. " cried Ariana suddenly after entering Tatiana's room and Ocean. The ocean that had just fallen asleep at 4 am was immediately jumped with a throbbing head of pain.

"Ana, why are you screaming?" tanya Samudera while massaging her throbbing temple. But Ariana ignored, he just frowned around. Then he opened the bathroom door violently, but what he was looking for he could not find either.

"Mother, Mother where? Mother, Mother's father where? Why does mom not exist? Dad, which Mother, Dad?" strangled Ariana whose eyes had turned red. Clearly, he would have shed his tears in a moment.

"Mother ... " The ocean is confused how to answer the question of the child? He also frowned, hoping that everything he experienced last night was just a dream. Tatiana did not leave. He's still in this house. "Maybe you're cooking in the kitchen?" The ocean glanced towards the window, the day was already bright enough. As usual, Tatiana was usually preparing their breakfast at this kind of hour.

"Nothing. Mother is not in the kitchen. Ana was looking in the kitchen, but she wasn't there. There is nothing behind either. My aunt also doesn't know where my mother is. Bibik thinks you're still sleeping, but ... " Ariana's lips have been cut down, ". .. here also mother does not exist. Where's mom, Dad? Mother where?"

Ariana's tears broke. With pain in his head, the Ocean immediately got out of bed and carried Ariana to calm him down. But instead of being calm, Ariana began to cry. Her shrill cry made the throbbing in her head even more so.

"Darling, you shut up! I don't know where my mom is either. Ana don't cry! Mother must have gone home. Mommy just goes for a while," persuaded the Ocean trying to win Ariana. But instead of leaking with the persuasion, Ariana actually rebelled while shouting.

"No, I lied. Mommy must have gone to ninggalin Ana. Dad lied! Mother ... mother ... Mother where? Dad, where's Mom Dad? Which mother?" Raung Ariana with wet cheeks. Ariana's nose is flushed. His breath stinged because of the nasal fluid that clogs his sense of smell.

"Darling, it's crying! Please, my father's head is sick," said Samudera still trying to be patient. Then the Ocean saw the existence of Bik Una. He handed Ariana over to her. Head hurts. He has been lacking rest lately. Plus all night he had trouble sleeping because he was worried about Tatiana. Ocean was about to go to the bathroom for a while to wash his face then breakfast filled his stomach which since last night was empty. He wanted to take medicine so that his head wouldn't get sicker. How can he think and look for the existence of Tatiana if the pain in his head becomes more and more.

"Bik, please carry Ana first. I want to go back for a moment" said Samudera while giving Ariana to Bik Una.

Ariana rebelled in anger. He does not want to join Bik Una. He screamed making the Ocean flutter until finally unconsciously snapped it.

"No, don't want to. Ana wants the same mother. Ana does not want to be a aunt. Ana wants the same mother. Ana wants mom, Dad. Ana mau mama. Bundaa ... mother .. " cried Ariana.

"DAD'S WORDS STOPPED, ANA! YOU CAN SHUT UP, HUH!" the ocean's impact left Ariana in shock.

"Bad fuck! Bad dad! Ana hates, Dad!" strangled Ariana while trying to escape from the Ocean. Not wanting Ariana to fall, the Ocean was fierce to lower Ariana from her carrier. Afterwards, Ariana ran into her room. Door slammed. Then he climbed into the bed and drowned his face in the pillow.

The ocean suddenly awakened. Because he was too emotional, he let go of yelling at Ariana, his own daughter. He really feels guilty.

The ocean rubbed his face rough. Not 24 hours Tatiana disappeared, but why her life has been so chaotic. What if Tatiana really left him? His life could be really messed up.

"Sir, please look at Ana for a moment!" The ocean immediately sauntered towards the bathroom after saying that.

He saw his face in the bathroom mirror. His face looks dirty. The circumference of his eyes swelled up just as he was working on the thesis first. It's been a long time since he's looked like this, completely fucked up.

"Where are you, Tiana? Come back. Don't leave us!" sea of Ocean with reddened eyes.

...**...

"Where is it, Bik?" The ocean is now on the dining table. Headaches and fatigue in the body become. Even his body felt like it was going to be cheerful. But he could not relax. He can't just wait. He should immediately find Tatiana. For that, he must replenish energy and take medicine to keep his body fit again.

"Neng Ana's still in the room, Den. She was still crying and not coming out" said Bik Una.

After breakfast, Samudera enters Ariana's room. Then he sat down on the edge of the bed. Ariana who looked so happy. His heart was so painful to see his son who looked so lost.

"Darling," call the Ocean. But Ariana is not. Even look reluctant.

"Darling, forgive me for my attitude. I actually unintentionally yelled at Ana. Baby, I'm going first! I'll try to find Mommy. Ana pray for me, yeah." The ocean pours gently while rubbing the top of Ariana's head.

Hearing that, Ariana sat down.

"Dad promised you'd bring Mommy home?"

The ocean nodded, though a little doubtful.

"Dad will try. Ana don't cry anymore. Come on, get up, take a shower and keep breakfast. Mother will certainly be sad if you see Ana kayak gini. Going to school is late too."

"Good dad."

"Smart girl. Then, father go first. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

After seeing Ariana look calmer, the Ocean was immediately gone. His first destination was the residence of Tatiana's late mother. She hopes Tatiana is hiding there. As far as the Ocean, Tatiana did not have any other close family. He only has his mother. And now that his mother is gone, he must have no other escape but there.

While Samudera is trying to find Tatiana's whereabouts at the residence of her late mother, Tatiana is currently on her way to the religious court accompanied by Raya. Tatiana did not elaborate on the reasons for her divorce lawsuit. She only said the incompatibility between them was what made her sue for divorce from her husband. He explained that Samudera was forced to marry him just for the sake of his son. The commotion that often occurs makes him choose to give up.

The court also granted Tatiana's divorce. After the religious court, Tatiana separated from Raya.

"Where are you going, Na?" tanya is worried because Tatiana does not want to tell her the purpose of her disappearance.

"Gue doesn't know yet, Ray. For sure, I want to go far."

"But what about the trial? Don't you want to come?"

Tatiana nodded, "that's better, Ray."

"Yes, it's up to you. But later when you arrive at the place you are headed, do not forget to tell me yes. I am frequently told. Look out no! I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

"Yes, yes, bawel?" lirih Tatiana with a smile. But his eyes were glazed. They immediately embraced. Before finally Tatiana disappeared with the taxi she was riding.

"Goodbye, Na. May you find your happiness in a new place" Raya murmured as she waved her hand.
