Dadang is now sitting pensively in front of the television of the mother's house.His eyes are staring at the television, but his gaze is empty. With tears now flowing, though,
His heart is very sick now, so he could not bear to watch the departure of Siti and her children. Although it has been advised by Mother and also Father, still. Dadang chose to stay here, lamenting the bad luck that actually comes from his own mistakes.
I don't know how long he's been sitting here. But clearly now Mother and Father also Salsa have returned home.
"So his brother same children himself.ok can even stay here while the children ask whereabouts Brother.."
" Sa, stop. Let your brother calm down first.don't make him more depressed.." Mother mediated because Dadang looked unmoved and still silent with a blank look.
" Calm down how ? now it is like this, as if Brother was the one who was persecuted, the one who felt the pain of this separation the most. .
Where were you yesterday ?
Is this all, love brother same mbak Siti and children ? Brother may be sad, but think also of children, they were nanyain brother.do not blame them if all they remember is the bad habits of brother as his father. And they don't respect the branch anymore.."
Salsa again spoke spicy, trying to resuscitate the brother from his erroneous behavior.
" Sa failed, brother failed to be a good husband. Brother really feels the pain now.."
Salsa sneered, hearing Dadang's words as if he was asking to be laughed at by him.
" Yes, Brother has failed to be a good husband. But ? Whether brother will also resign when he fails to also be a good father for his brothers..!Well, there's still time, at least you think about this, and start improving yourself.."
Salsa's voice grew quieter. Not that he was blaming, but it seemed. You always need to be reminded. In order not to be too soluble in prolonged regret.
Father and Mother now sit in silence, their daughter Salsa turned out to be an adult.
Nurdin now let out a long sigh, staring meaningfully at Dadang
" Are you right, your brother Dang said ? stop bemoaning fate and ignoring your children, try calling them when you're ready. Because they are still expecting you to say hello. Even if it's just on the phone.." Nurdin touched Dadang's shoulder, hoping that his words this time were responded to well by Dadang.
***
The days now passed by Dadang actively working, every Sunday the results of his sweat he sent to the account Siti, as a living on his children.
Even so, Nurdin was still worried about Dadang, who was now more silent. Not only once twice Nurdin caught Dadang crying in the middle of his activities.
" Dang's. What are you why ? Do you miss the kids ?"
it has been a month without feeling. It's only natural that Dadang misses his kids..!!
" Dadang can't say anything sir !! Dadang misses, but does Siti want to accept if Dadang comes there..?"
Those eyes glared far away, considering the three heroes..
"Siti must understand Dang. Do you know what your ex-wife looks like ?"
" But I'm ashamed sir... Ashamed..."
Nurdin was silent, hearing the sobs that escaped from Dadang's lips, inexplicably sad air was still very dense approaching Dadang.
" You must be strong, because time cannot wait for you to be strong ..Time will go on, so do not torment yourself by constantly lamenting fate.."
Dadang now hugs Nurdin, trying to find strength through the arms of the man who holds the title of Father.
"Thank you sir, if only, Dadang would be a little complacent with Ego and all prestige. It's not gonna happen like this"
"Go Dang, meet your children !! They must have missed his father.."
While Siti and the children are now living peacefully, Siti is busy writing novels on an online platform, opening up old saved documents and publishing them. Actually this is a boost from Salsa, because Salsa himself claimed to have made a lot of rupiah from the results of writing until he even published two best-seller printed novels.
" Uh ... Fian how can Bara be the same as you ? "
Siti who was focusing on composing sentences in her novel, now turned her eyes because of the voice of the youngest Bara.
" Yes. Bude nganter said Bara sleepy has not napped..!!!"
" Where is bude ?"
Siti drew closer to Fian, taking the increasingly bulky boy from Fian's sling.
" Bude, there's a little business at the neighbor's house so I was told to go first.."
Now the atmosphere is silent, although not once twice they were met because Fian still remains a palm oil porter, including palm owned by bude. But, somehow Siti felt uncomfortable when dealing with the man, but she was not like this when near Fian.
" It's already sleepy !!
no papa if you nemenin he sleep first. .I just wait here, because I need to be the same bude, oh yeah, I can sit here right ?"
Siti nodded in displeasure, She was completely unaware that she had ignored Fian by not allowing the man to sit down.
Siti also ended up sitting awkwardly. Choosing to put Bara to sleep on his lap. It's not good to leave Fian here alone.
The sound of cars distracting them. The figure that came down from the car caught Bara's attention..
" Huh...!!!" Bara asked to come down impatiently, stepping quickly towards Dadang who seemed to come with many bags of groceries in both hands.
Seeing Bara running towards him swiftly Dadang welcomed him, held his youngest son and put the bag he had just carried on the ground..
The scene made Siti touched, unconscious her eyes were now even melting the clear grains without her being able to prevent. She approached the father and son who were giving up the longing, took the goods brought by Dadang and invited her ex-husband to come inside.
"Come Bara. Take Dad inside..It's hot in here.."
Siti hinted Dadang to follow her, and was well responded to by Dadang. Immediately with still holding Bara he entered, Not forgetting to greet the friendly figure of Fian who had been standing as if welcoming his arrival.
" Fians. Comein.. Wait for the bude inside.."
Siti said, the presence of Fian seemed to be a lifesaver for him however he was not comfortable if he had to be alone with Dadang inside.
Fian said, as if understanding Siti's feelings.
" Rama and Dio where's deck ?"
Dadang asked calmly, although to be honest Fian's presence disturbed his heart. Why does it seem like this guy is a bodyguard for Siti. Or do they have a special relationship, is it that easy for Siti to open her heart ?
" So come with bude, play to the neighbors. He said the expanse of doang, at least soon home..This is also Fian waiting for bude.."
Then the atmosphere became quiet, only Dadang who is now busy inviting Bara to play with the new toy he had brought as souvenirs.
Not so long, finally Bude came home too, and Rama and Dio also saw the figure of the father. Suddenly both of them feel happy and quickly poured into Dadang's embrace.
Dadang's tears are now spilling, he did not expect to be welcomed like this by his children.
Sesal gained control of himself, making him lose the shame of crying in front of Fian, who incidentally a stranger.
" Control yourself Dang ! It's not good for kids to see you like this.."
Bude's rebuke resuscitated Dadang, immediately he wiped his tears. And kissed her children in a row..
