MARISA'S TEARS
Men from the Past

After waking up it feels relaxed, immediately the burden of the mind is gone all, then walking slowly towards the exit because of the sound of knocking on the door, it seems I have a guest.

I rubbed my eyes and did it again, as if I were dreaming or hallucinating.

"it's me Fernandes, you don't dream of Marisa."

He said and then looked at this man before me, and then turned to the wall clock, it was four in the afternoon.

"Fernandes, do you know where I live here?"

Fernandes smiled and went straight into the house, sitting in the sofa room.

"i tracked your cell phone through your phone number, why did you leave without saying goodbye? this is the second time you've done it."

"i have no obligation to say goodbye to you, Fernandes, you are none of me."

His gaze was filled with disappointment, but I ignored him because Fernandes was nothing to me.

"there are only three widowed women and two young children, it is not ethical for you to linger here."

"i miss Marisa, I love you."

The rebuttal from Fernandes makes me really dizzy, because until now, my heart is still tightly closed to men.

Trauma from the past that makes this heart still tightly closed.

"this area is still thick with the customs, lest we become the ingredients of the raging citizens.

Go and forget me, it's free you come here.

I haven't been able to accept the men in my life, sorry I can't accept you."

His eyes glazed over at me, but it did not shake this heart.

"you rejected me? didn't you agree to give me a chance?"

"yes, I rejected you. Your only chance in Bali was aja, and it turns out I have not been able to accept the presence of a man in my heart."

Fernandes' tears streamed down his cheeks and the look was so sweet.

"i haven't given up, for a while I'm going to stay in this area."

Fernandes said and left, and I just sat down.

My life, which for two years has been calm and happy, is now again disturbed because of the presence of the man from my past, the man who once existed in my heart.

"mom sitting here? mom is sick?"

My tears are now flowing more and more, because of the presence of Elfata in front of me.

I'm afraid of losing him, because Fahar will certainly sue for custody.

Elfata I hugged tightly, for she was my source of encouragement.

Then I carried Elfata into my room, and again I hugged her.

"Mother to be honest with Elfata, mother hope Elfata does not leave mother."

"mother....

Even if the world collapses, Elfata will remain mother."

This time it was Elfata who embraced Me, and then wiped away my tears.

"om who acknowledged your father, that time in Bali was dear, it was your real father.

mother lied about your father, because she's separated from your father.

Your father is the richest man, maybe your father will take Elfata from the mother."

The two of us hugged again, I don't know if Elfata understood what I was telling her.

"whatever it is mother and as rich as it is, Elfata will remain with mother."

The sweet words from Elfata can cool this heart, but will the two of us be together?.

Tok.....

"the man came, the man who claimed to be the father of Elfata."

Said Miss Margona, who gave me shock, and Elfata hugged me again.

Fahar and Sean stood up as they greeted the two of us, different gazes from Fahar who was so cute as he looked at me.

"what else do you want? Not satisfied to make my mother cry?"

The question that became the greeting of Elfata represented my heart.

"i'm your father, I came here to apologize. Dad misses you both."

"what's the proof that Elfata om?"

The question from Elfata made Fahar speechless, of course he could not answer it.

Then Fahar grabbed his phone, then gave it to Elfata.

The last picture of my ultrasound, in that fancy clinic.

It looks like Fahar forgot to change the explanation on the side of the USG that states that the fetus is a woman.

after all what does it mean to give that evidence to Elfata? does Elfata understand the USG?

"mother, here write woman.What does mother mean?"

The sound of Margona's footsteps immediately stopped the question from Elfata who was still slurred.

"that means, if the daughter is a girl."

Replied Miss Margona who came to bring drinks for guests that I did not expect her to come.

"oh... so the child om this woman, but why Elfata, om say son om? um healthy?"

Fahar immediately took the phone and kept it in the pocket of a sweater that resembled the suit.

"i have been deceived by my own mother, she who engineered all this. Because of that trickery, you two I abandoned."

Elfata who heard it thought, then looked at me with a questioning look.

"it's the same story about Jepli, is this the same cousin of Jepli?"

"what does Elfata mean?"

Elfata looked seriously at Fahar's assistant named Sean.

"forget Elfata when the time is, but there is also an om-om named Jepli, talking about pelsis as said this om.

Om Jepli also claimed to be Elfata's real father.

never mind, too many om-om who claimed to be the real father of Elfata.

Meningan om go home, om stinky ketek."

For the umpteenth time, Fahar's speech was broken by his own son.

Fahar's assistant was seen holding back his laughter, but the young master held back his embarrassment.

"many of your rivals are bosses."

Said the assistant and finally laughed as well, and the Elfata who saw him became astonished and startled.

"saringan, he means if om want to marry mother huh? same dong with the intention of Fernandes."

"om Fernandes who is Elfata?"

"om kepo deh, dah kyak the nettle. want to know aja ulusan olang."

Reply to Elfata who made Sean his assistant Fahar speechless instantly.

"lady Marisa....."

The beautiful woman who became secretary Fahar came and hugged me, actually I miss him so his embrace I reply.

"mother where is it? tired Renta nyariin mother."

Renta again hugged me and Elfata also approached us.

My son looked confused, it was because Renta called me mother and hugged me repeatedly.

Like a child who has just met his mother, such is Renta's embrace of Me.

Elfata who witnessed it and was surprised to see our behavior.
