He gave up, he lost, he admitted, he was fixated on holding back the longing...
"Say, what did I hear wrong? Tell me what I heard was just a lie? Tell me I'm the son of Luciana and Sutan Cjokro? Tell me I'm not your son? Say it.."
With reddened eyes holding back tears. Lingga stepped slowly, his footsteps approaching, towards where Rossa was standing, shaking withstanding tightness in the chest, holding back the feeling of the resistance, holding back the tears that had filled his eyelids.
His heart is tired.. A thousand full moons he held, only the photo he stole secretly while looking at the Linga. The one he collected in his cell phone gallery, as a cure, the antidote longed in his heart. Only the hope that he has so far pinned in every prayer for his beloved baby.
He could no longer cover it up from the truth. He could no longer seem to know her. He could no longer hold her.
Hanunggara.. Only a name he could give her. Last name of the father..
Harun Hanunggara
"You're my son.. You son.. I'm Your Mother.. I'm Your Mother.. As hard as you can not admit it. I'll still be your mother, Lingga.." Rossa spoke in a soft voice over and over again. But it still sounds obvious. The tears that escaped just flooded both of his cheeks.
"Don't hate me Lingga.. Don't hate me.. Pity me as an old woman.. Pity me as a poor woman.." Rossa strengthened her speech as Lingga's footsteps halted five steps before her.
"I don't deserve your forgiveness my son.. I'm a sinful mother.. But Mother please.. Admit me as your mother for once in your life."
"Don't turn your face away when you see me.. I'll be strong when the world doesn't acknowledge my existence, but I'll be destroyed when you don't acknowledge me. Give me a chance to confess all my past sins to you, Linga.."
Mang Ujang and Bik Mar, who witnessed the interaction of Mother and child from behind the wall, endlessly wiped the tears. Long enough they witnessed the sadness that Rossa lived all this time.
°°°°°
33 Years ago.
Rossa and Cjokro were met when the man was sent out of town for 3 months to collect news, for an article he was working on. In his time, newspapers were one of the tools that still managed to contain news from all information.
"At that time your father and his team were staying at your Grandfather Aaron's house, as the man who was reared in the dormitory village. The other is Mother's Father. In addition, the house we occupied was quite spacious and had many rooms."
the mother and son chose to sit together facing each other, after Lingga asked Rossa to tell the story 33 years ago.
Breathing in for a moment, Rossa resumed her story.
Love at first sight is directly embedded in the hearts of both. During the three months of the study, the two often walked together around the village and expressed love by deciding to establish a relationship through the process of courtship.
Rossa is beautiful and liked by many men in her village, making a Cjokro feel heavy leaving her to return to the city.
Facing Aaron, Cjokro asked permission to bind him by marrying betel Rossa and promised to return with his parents.4 months passed, from the promised time.. The man had no news.. Only in the first month did the two still send word by mail. Until the signs of pregnancy begin to feel Rossa.
While in the city.
On Cjokro's return from his duties. The father handed over the leadership of the company to be in his running with Luciana as his secretary.
Busyness developed the name of a newspaper called News Post made him rarely send news with Rossa. Unbeknownst to him, Rossa already contains a phallus.
To save the good name Cjokro especially the continuity of the company. Luciana stated in the media that she was the legal wife of Cjokro so that bad accusations were not pinned to the man. It is even able to silence some media that will contain it in the headlines.
Behind it all, Cjokro was asked to marry Luciana as a form of responsibility. The woman is considered to have saved the company by Mr. Sutan and Mrs Hartika as parents.
Cjokro married Luciana without any basis of love, the man married the woman was limited to responsibility and gratitude. Cjokro did not recount his betel marriage with Rossa to Luciana, before he delivered it first to his parents. And will ask permission to release Luciana after 3 months of marriage.
But unfortunately last night's relationship made Luciana pregnant. And in the end Cjokro also found out that Susiana was only 6 months apart from her husband by leaving one child aged one year.
"When you meet your father in town. Mother must accept the fact that your father has married another woman. Mother was disappointed and will return to the village. But your father held Mother back from returning, he assured Mother that only Mother the woman he loved. And your father really proved his point."
"Nobody knows about our marriage. Besides his brother Hadid. Your father asked for time to convey and explain to his family. At that time, Mother's pregnancy has reached the age of 3 months and Luciana 1 month."
Rossa was silent for a while, gathering strength to tell the story that eventually set her apart from the Linga.
"In the pregnancy of the mother who has stepped on 9 months.. Your father brought Mommy home to his parents, your father just got a chance to tell the real events to Mr. Sutan and Mrs Hartika."
"Without our noticing, Luciana heard everything. But not from the beginning your father told me. All he heard was a piece of the story, which he knew your father had married the betel Mother in the village. Luciana was furious, she yelled accusing Mother of being the third person and ruining her marriage."
When your father asked Mother to return to the room.. Luciana chased after Mother, we clashed, we pushed each other. And without Mother accidentally, Mother has pushed him from the stairs.. Luciana fell because of Mother, Ling.. Mother has killed the child in her womb.. Not just a child.. But Luciana's uterus must also be removed."
"Lusiana asked you as her replacement. Redeemer of sins from what Mother has done. If Mother doesn't hand you over, Luciana will take her to the law."
Scratching his head, the Linga was bowed with tears that also fell unstoppable when it knew the true facts. All this time he had been avoiding his real mother. A dozen years he was very disappointed with the woman who turned out to be his mother. He even rejected Rossa's presence when he married Alisa.
He has accused the woman in front of him today as a destroyer of women's households that are considered his mother.
Both of them cry bitterly, expressing pain, sadness together.. Both have wasted a lot of time.. Which should be passed along with beauty.
He only realized, no matter how much his affection for Luciana whom he considered as his Mother. There remains no strong inner bond and vibration, just like when he met Rossa..
"Im sorry Lingga Mommy.. Forgive Lingga." the man spoke in a hoarse voice, he spoke by lowering his face unable to look at Rossa.
"Mother's son is not wrong, you just don't know the truth, Ling.. Your attitude is not wrong.. Do not blame yourself for the sins we have committed. We act as guilty parents. We were wrong, Ling.."
The two embrace and embrace each other. With a phallus that buried his head in the lap of Rossa. 32 years old desire of the woman to be able to hug, caressing the head of the son finally accomplished.
"Who is Alisa Mother?"
