"Come, son, come over next to Papa." Call Mr. Ganan to his son-in-law.
"Yes Pa" replied Aish nodding his head. Then he stood next to his father-in-law, while on the left was Mr. Soni.
Melin's mother is confused when Mr. Ganan calls Aish to stand by her ex-husband. At that time, Melin's mother only realized that Mr. Ganan is the owner of the Shop in the village sebrang.
'So, Mr. Ganan is the son of the great Lord named Angga Wilyam. The family who dressed with the late Mother Romlah, precisely the late Mr. Sobirun. Oh God, the world is so narrow. Why am I just realizing, where have my thoughts been all this time. Don't don't, Aish's father-in-law wants to unlock our secret to Aish. How'this? what should I say to Aish, maybe Aish will be mad at me? no, don't let it happen. I have to stop it, I'm not ready to admit it.' Inner Mother Melin while daydreaming.
"What is this, Pa? why does everything seem so tense? is there anything that's been kept secret?" aish asked various questions to his father-in-law because of the curiosity in his mind.
"Em ... Look, son, do you miss a mother and father?" ask Mr. Ganan to open the conversation. Aish was getting confused and also did not understand.
"Of course, Pa. Aish misses Aish's parents a lot, but what's Aish's power. Only able to endure endless longing, Aish sincerely accepted it. Perhaps Allah's way of keeping Aish always close to His Creator is and always sends prayers to both Aish's parents." Aish replied half-down, she felt not as lucky as her husband who still had two complete parents. Afterwards, Aish looked up at her father-in-law.
Mr. Ganan patted his daughter-in-law gently. "What if both of your parents are still alive? are you going to give thanks to the Creator?" asked Mr. Ganan with a serious look.
Aish stared fixedly at the face that was no longer young, namely the father-in-law.
"The truth is that nothing is alive anymore. Unless the person is not found missing, and there is no trace of it, it is unlikely that it can still be said to be alive or still exist." Aish said, he felt strange with a word from his father-in-law.
'Where anyone who has died is real said to be alive, it is impossible.' Inner Aish who felt awkward with the words of her father-in-law.
Mr. Soni and Ms. Melin looked at each other, both of whom seemed to be regulating their breathing. Melin's mother who wanted to stop Mr. Ganan who was about to open greatness, wanted to feel snatched his words. Unfortunately, Melin's mother couldn't afford to do it all. Finally only able to give up on what Mr. Ganan did to Aish, at least handle it wisely.
"Don't you ask, what if both of your parents are still alive? means Papa said?" Mr. Ganan began asking questions that were quite difficult to digest. Aish was still silent, she was still trying to digest the question from her own father-in-law. Mr. Soni and Ms. Melin could only remain silent, she did not dare to say a word.
"What if the truth is, Aish's parents are still alive?" Aish repeated the question from her father-in-law. Aish kept thinking over a question that made it even more complicated for her to digest.
"Honey, yes you can't digest questions from Papa. The fact that both of your parents are still alive, then?" Rey tries to open the puzzle of the question from her father.
"Both of my parents were dead, and I even witnessed it in person. Even I had fainted at that time, then why did it come true that my parents were still alive? that's not possible." Say Aish with his stance.
Rey began to approach his wife, tightly clasped hands of hers. Then took a deep breath, hoping he could tell it straight to the truth. Mr. Ganan shifted from his standing position, He made room for his son to stand next to his wife.
Aish was confused by her husband's attitude, then she looked at him fixedly.
"Tell me, what's up with all this? why did the atmosphere become silent? Aunty Melin who had just been silent, and the middle-aged Father whom I did not recognize also stood near Aunt Melin. Papa too, why is Papa following in silence? please tell me." Aish asked with curiosity, Rey still stared at his ayu face of his beloved wife.
"This is Mr. Soni, his ex-husband Aunt Melin." Said Rey introduced the figure of Mr. Soni to his wife.
"Certain ... What does this have to do with me? tell me again honestly." Asked Aish and asked her husband to be frank with her, Rey nodded slowly.
"Soni and Melin's mother are ...."
"Enough!" Melin's mother immediately snatched a speech from Rey who was about to say it honestly.
"Why?" ask Mr. Ganan to chimed in.
"Don't go on, it hurts me a lot." Melin's mother answered with fear, if she would get anger from her daughter.
"When are you going to hide the truth? are you going to live a continuous lie? be someone in charge, even if it hurts a lot." Ask Mr. Ganan boldly and ready to take the risk.
Melin's mother and Mr. Soni are still as silent, while Aish is increasingly confused.
"Pa, please explain to Aish. What's really going on with all this? Aish doesn't understand." Pinta Aish expectantly clenched her hands together, Mr. Ganan is still silent.
"They are both .." said Mr. Ganan hanging up his sentence.
"Both of your parents, yes! Mr. Soni and Aunt Melin are both your parents." Rey continued the sentence interrupted by her father.
Instantly, Aish was stunned to hear it. Spontaneously, Aish covered his mouth with both palms. Melin's mother and Mr. Soni, who heard Rey's words, were suffocating at the same time. It was so hard to swallow the saliva. Likewise with Aish, felt struck by lightning in a hole.
What she heard from her husband's mouth as if it was just a dream, Aish was right as if she could not believe hearing it. Wanting to scream, he himself was unable to do so. Rey clasped his wife's hand, then led her to approach her parents.
Either way, parents are still parents. Whatever the fault of the parents, it is still the parents.
