The garden behind the hospital was very quiet because the two people who were there were only silent for a long time but their heartbeats did not subside. Mey was afraid to start the conversation. He was afraid to hear Hugo's words. He wanted to be in bed and wake up and everything became a dream. At least starting from the incident this afternoon where he saw Hugo and Kikan in their room. Until he couldn't see it all and went from there. Again the Surya doctor reached out as he was injured.
"Mey" Hugo's lips quivered violently starting to talk but anyway he had to reveal this all. Mey will be hurt if she continues with him even though he has changed but what he is now living is karma.
"What's wrong?" mey's voice sounded weak hopefully what Hugo said was not true. He was only joking even though it was a terrible joke.
"I can no longer live with you Mey, I already have Kikan, you just as a substitute exhibition in the end you have to retreat if the real one has come, you go wherever you want"
Hugo wanted to slap his own mouth for saying so to Mey. It wasn't just her cursed lips that had hurt Mey, too.
"What's the talk?" mey asked in a hoarse and quivering voice.
"You didn't hear? you can be with anyone you choose to accompany your life" Hugo raised his tone but in his heart was no less broken "you can take your child wherever you go, I'm not gonna get in the way, I'm gonna live my life with Kikan because she's pregnant"
It was like a thunderbolt in Mey's ear. Kikan is pregnant and it must be his son Hugo so the man asks himself to leave so that their lives are not disturbed because there is himself among them.
"Kikan's pregnant?" repeat Mey with a hoarse voice. Hugo nodded.
"Therefore I will divorce you, and his letters will follow"
After that Hugo immediately left without looking at Mey again he brought his tears that had been broken on the cheeks. Mey sat in the garden chair helpless. All the energy he had vanished somewhere. He was crying there for a long time. After being satisfied with crying he asked Vino to take Alfi to the place he promised.
***
That very night Mey went straight with Alfi from the city by night train . Along the way he did not stop crying while hugging Alfi who was sleeping on his lap. It feels very different if he used to go with Hugo with hatred but now he comes home with countless pains. The long journey was like a new one in his passing and suddenly he was stranded back to all places with a heavy heart to go.
But inevitably he had to leave as a banished person. Back to his village, back to his parents. Hugo was right it was just a replacement exhibit. Kill the cause of Hugo's destruction and now they are together for sure Hugo's life will be happy. Mey unceasingly wiped away her tears.
The sound of the wheels of the train clashing with the rails creates the same sound throughout the crawling journey making up for the night. And arrived at the next station Mey got off and took a bus from there to the sub-district city. The cold night air accompanied her and Alfi inside the mini bus. There were no passengers there other than the two of them. I don't know why the driver wanted to drive Mey when he lost if only he and Alfi were passengers.
The sunrise of the bus began to enter the village. Mey looked out the window looking out. He was welcomed by the green scenery alternating from the new rice fields in the rice plantation to the houses of simple residents with vegetable plants in front of his house. The air that had been cold now turned cold. The farmers began to pass by with their hoes and smoke rising from the kitchen of the house.
"Front sir!" mey told the driver.
"Good mbak"
The mini bus stopped in front, which is where Mey meant. The woman came down holding Alfi "how many sir?"
"Not to pay mbak"
"It's not good for me sir, this" Mey gave me a piece of money hundreds "just take it back"
"No need to" the driver returned Mey's money but Mey did not want to take her away. The driver must have felt sorry for him for crying all the way so he was free of charge.
"Mom, sire!' call Mey to the middle-aged woman and man standing up to greet her in the courtyard. The faces of the two looked sad as if all the news about Mey had already reached them but the old man with reddish-brown complexion from the sunburn was trying to smile.
"Grandmother's home!" greet Sri, mak Mey welcomes Alfi with a helping hand to carry.
"Yes grandma, Alfi kangen" Mey replied as if Alfi was speaking. He hugged his two parents to let go of the miss.
"Grandpa and grandpa are also kangen, granddaughter is already big yes" Sri kissed the cheek of her grandson dear.
"With the old man, come" Rustam reached out to snatch his grandson from his wife "he must have been exhausted all night in the car, come on! grandpa made some milk"
Sri accompanied Mey's step into "mak earlier to fry sweet potatoes eat while hot with a glass of tea, can to warm the body"
They sat on a mat next to the house while looking at the rice fields. Mey's parents don't ask why Mey went home without Hugo and Mey doesn't tell her parents what happened to her.
That day Mey did not talk much after breakfast he went to his camp and spent time there while Alfi with his parents who devoted the day not to work in the fields or fields.
"May!" call her mom from the outside at the same time Mey's door opens.
Mey wiped her tears "what's wrong?"
The middle-aged woman was sitting on the edge of the bed "you can be sad Mey but don't miss it, such a man doesn't deserve you to cry"
Mey was surprised why her mother called it as if she knew the problem about her.
"Who said the same mother?"
"That guy!"
"Mas Hugo?"
"Who else if not him"
Hugo last night told him about his relationship with Kikan, what before he came to his parents called it.
"When did Hugo say the same mom and dad?"
"Before you came he was gone! he begs to apologize to you for divorcing you, Mey! you and Alfi should never meet him again, if you want there to be a suitable child for you, it's the Arya who keeps asking you, if you knew you were coming home he would have come here Mey" Mak Mey spoke impassively out of emotion.
Chief Mey Mumet just got widowed last night. The wound has not lost the time to study the future husband again. But if Hugo was here, that would mean,...
He went almost the same with Mey.
