"Well, my heart is not calm. I keep thinking about Lisa." Kalisa's mother said to her husband after breakfast. He sat next to the old man right in front of the house. They were enjoying a sunny Sunday morning, with two cups of tea. Not Wang sari commercial!
Kalisa's father dropped off his reading for a moment. Then he looked at the wife who looked agitated.
"Mom, we just called Lisa last night. And he said he was okay. So what do you think?" Ask.
But other with the instinct of a mother, although Kalisa said that he was fine, the mother still did not believe. He was convinced that there was something his daughter was hiding.
"Well, if we look at Lisa how, all of our grandchildren are too. We haven't been there in a long time." Kalisa's mother's advice, he wanted to make sure for himself that the state of his son was not what he thought.
Kalisa's father took a moment to cuddle his wife. It is also true that they visited Kalisa. After all, they hadn't seen May and Reyhan in a long time. Their grandchildren.
"All right, ma'am, we're ready now." Kalisa's father said steady. Mother smiled sumringah, because finally her husband agreed . With a heart full of flowers, Kalisa's mother prepares to meet her daughter and grandchildren.
*****
A few hours had passed, the train had brought a married couple who had gone into the twilight of the city where their only daughter was. Arriving at the station, Kalisa's father immediately hailed a taxi to drive them to Kalisa's house.
And here they are now, a beautiful-looking house, where many flower pots adorn the house. However, it looks lonely because like Kalisa and his family are not at home. They believe that Kalisa's at the store.
"Mom better just call Lisa and tell her to go home first." Tell Kalisa's father to his wife, his wife nodded in agreement, then he quickly opened the bag and looked for his cellphone to contact Kalisa.
With only three vibrations, finally the call is connected, because indeed Kalisa is not serving its customers.
"Assalamualaikum, ma'am what's wrong?" Ask Kalisa wonder. Not usually his mother called in the afternoon.
"Waalaikumussalam, Lis, mom and dad are already in front of your house." Said the enthusiastic mother, she thought her son would be surprised to be happy with his arrival. True, Kalisa was very surprised, but not surprised as his mother meant, even now he was immediately stunned. He was not ready to tell his parents the truth. However, why suddenly his parents are in front of the house. Normally, his father and mother would contact him first, but now wouldn't they? Is this the time, they should know everything?
"Lis?" Call mom many times, but Kalisa didn't answer. But for the fifth time, finally Kalisa realized in his daydream.
Astarghfirullah...
"Yes Mom. Kalisa's home now, yeah." Kalisa said in a hurry, then immediately turned off the phone.
"Well, Lisa is weird. Looks like mom's feeling right, Lisa's hiding something from us." Say mother, then Kalisa's father's mangosteen. He immediately grabbed his wife's shoulder to calm down, because he was sure his daughter would tell them the truth. If not, then Kalisa's father will ask.
A few minutes later, Kalisa arrived at his home. And sure enough, both of his parents were already sitting waiting for him in the house. Kalisa walked in a hurry while holding May and Reyhan's hands.
"Son, say hello to grandma and grandpa." Kalisa's word to his two children, and Reyhan and May simultaneously greet the two middle-aged creatures.
After that, Kalisa immediately looked at the old face of his mother and father. Receding the pain, she slowly let go of her grip on Reyhan and May, powerless to embrace her mother. Bidadari.
"Lady..." Lirih Kalisa, the mother who realized that her son was in a condition that was not okay immediately hugged him tightly. As tightly as possible. And Kalisa spilled his tears back there, on his mother's shoulders. Feeling uncomfortable being outside, Kalisa's father suggests entering the house.
Reyhan and May are led by their grandfather to go straight into the room, and ask his granddaughter to take a nap. After that, he only followed the wife who was still faithful to hug her daughter in the guest room.
Kalisa's mother continued to rub the burdened back. Her tears flowed along, sad to see the state of her daughter who is not as usual.
POV Calia
After my father patted my shoulder, I immediately broke my embrace from my mother. Feeling a little satisfied because I had spilled my sadness on the shoulders of someone who had given birth to me. I wiped the remaining tears that were still flowing. Look at mom and dad in turn. I must be prepared to accept the wrath of both my parents, for I have hidden a matter of this magnitude on them. I must be ready to be faced again with the pain that I have to recount, something that has always been a big stone that stuck in my chest. Stuffy.
"Tell me." Tell father, although his voice is soft but his carelessness is full of authority.
"Mom, dad...." Call me, powerless, my tears come back hard. My lips are shaking so much. As much as possible I manage my breath, pulling and exhaling it slowly.
"Me and Mas Hendri...." I bit my lower lip. My throat was stuck, until I finally hugged my mother again. I'm back sobbing hard there. I am not strong, God...
"Lis," call mom, I flinch. I was only able to weep for my fate of being a poor woman, for not being able to keep my husband from the temptation of a third person.
"Lisa's... What's the matter, actually?" Reading mom, she was crying.
I stared at the heartfelt mother, conveying my wounds with the look of my eyes.
"Lisa and Hendri are divorced, ma'am." I said weakly, then hugged my mother tightly. I felt my mother's body stiffen. There were only tears spilling over my arm, and I knew it belonged to my mother. And when I wrote Dad, he just sharpened his eyes full of wrath.
I know mom and dad must not believe what he just heard, because all this time I just said that I was okay to answer my fears. I don't want to make them think, even to the point of getting sick just because of my problems. Finally, he and I are finished.
Dad got up from his seat, waltzed toward the kitchen, then shortly afterwards he brought two glasses of water in his hand. He threw the glass at me and my mother. She is the person I make the most role model for finding a husband. And at that time I saw it in Hendri's mas, but it turns out my prejudice was wrong. Time has changed it.
"Drink first. After that, tell me about Dad." He said, I nodded and grabbed the glass, even with my mother.
After I felt calm, and I was able to control myself, I finally started to open my voice. I told him the truth, the beginning of the problems in my household, about the presence of a third person who turned out to be pregnant to ensnare Hendri to get into his trap. I kept telling stories without being reduced or exaggerated as if I was the most persecuted, after all. Am I the saddest? I lyrics mom crying sobbing in the arms of dad whose face already looks very upset. While I was trying to convince my parents that I could grow up with May and Reyhan without her figure. I'm doing fine.
Suddenly he got up, and asked for space to sit between me and my mother. With open arms, he hugged us both. The sturdy hands that never hurt my skin clutched full of comfort. The thought of the father's wrath evaporates, seeing the father's attitude that even willingly gives this calmness.
"I'm sorry Kalisa's father, mother." I said with a sob. I stretched my hand to my stomach.
"As a fellow man father is ashamed, not because you are father's daughter, but his behavior is like not just a stud. He didn't see his daughter, what if his daughter gets hurt like she did to you? Will he be quiet? And even allowing? If so, he cannot be called a father. I forgive you, son, because you took it off. If not, maybe you have taken my mother away from this house. After this, make sure he can't see his kids anymore." Said father firmly, I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling moved by father's attitude. However, there was a sense of disbelief in his last sentence. I looked up to look at that handsome face.
"Dad, as a mother, I understand how my children are. Although he has been wounding a lot. He remains the father of May and Reyhan well. Kalisa can't deny that. Kalisa can't if he has to separate them. Kalisa will still allow them to meet, because however Reyhan and May still need his figure." I said meekly, hoping that what I said would be acceptable to my father.
Dad flinched for quite a while, digesting what I said, it might be heavy for him. Because he hated Hendri too much.
"alright... Dad allow. But only for Reyhan and May. You don't." Say it firmly. I nodded, with a relieved heart. I slightly smile.
"Thank you, yeah."
