Dara Manisku
Last days

At Mama Dara's house, Dery and Mama were still talking about letting go of longing in the living room.

"Where do you know Dery's address?" Mom asked Dery while closing the window in the room.

"From the nurse who works at the hospital where Mama used to be treated ". Answer Dery

Mama Dara smiled as she continued to close all the windows of her house.

"Oh yeah did Dara know about dad?" Ask Dery

Hearing the question Mama stopped, her steps stopped at her doorstep and turned around.

"Don't, Dara don't know about her father!" Mama Dara.

"But why Ma, then can't Dara know who I am?" Ask Dery out loud.

"Mama, Dara is my sister, my sister!" Dery was a little upset.

The door of the house did not close, Mama. Mama Dara immediately sat down near Dery while putting her cane.

"Dery, listen to Mama, maybe you'll be surprised to hear this, but I hope you'll follow Mama's advice, huh?" Mama said while holding Dery's hand.

"Become married to Ihsan!" Say Mama.

"Lantas, what's the problem? I agree that my sister is marrying Ihsan!" Dery replied that he did not understand what his mother said.

"Ihsan is the son of Mr and Madam where your Mama and Dad used to work and live". Reveal Mama while looking into Dery's eyes.

"Then ...then let alone Mama?" Dery asked curious about the continuation

"Your father has made a big mistake on Ihsan, you were only 2 years old!" My mom continued the story.

In front of Mama Dara's house, Ihsan's car stopped. Dara got out of the car first.

"Well, wait for me, we'll go in together, I'll park the car first!" Said Ihsan who saw Dara get off the car just like that.

"Become!" call Ihsan, but Dara keeps her foot towards the house.

When Dara was already at the door, her steps stopped, Dara saw Mama was talking to someone.

Just at that time Dara and Dery looked at each other and Mama did not know that Dara was already at her doorstep, forwarding her story to Dery.

"Your father, Dara's father who killed both of Ihsan's parents 22 years ago!" Mama Dara.

Dery heard the story of his mother who was shaken and did not know what to say, Dery then looked back at Dara who was standing in front of the door.

"Mom, Mama...!" Dery said trembling.

"Yes, Dery what's wrong, I know you must be shocked to hear this story". Answer Mama

"Without.there's Dara !" Dery

Then Mama's face immediately turned pale and turned back toward the back.

"Dara.." how surprised Mama saw Dara standing at the door.

Dara who was then silent looking at her Mama, suddenly her gaze began to fade, everything felt dark, Dara fell to the floor.

"Become...!" yelled Ihsan who had just arrived and saw Dara fall unconscious.

Dery immediately ran over to Dara. Mama Dara immediately picked up her wand and stepped limp towards Dara.

"dara heard what I just said?" Thought Mama Dara was worried if Dara fainted from hearing her words earlier.

"Become...Wake up baby, Dara!" Ihsan tried to wake Dara up.

"We better get Dara to the hospital!" Said Dery immediately carrying Dara

Ihsan was confused to see Dery who immediately carried Dara's body without asking.

"let's hurry Ihsan, get the car ready!" yell out Dery

Then Ihsan ran out immediately retrieving the car keys from his pants pocket.

"Wait Mama!" Mama Dara said as she walked after Dery.

Ihsan immediately opened the car door, and got out of the car again to help Dery put Dara in the car.

After Dara's body was laid in the car, Dery saw her mother in a hurry to approach her.

"Come on Mama, I'll help!" Said Dery while holding his Mama who had difficulty getting into the car.

"We're all ready, we're leaving now!" Ihsan started his car.

On the way Mama cried while looking at Dara's face on her lap.

"why are you suddenly here Ihsan?" Ask Mama Dara.

"yes, I usually come here on Saturday and Sunday, but somehow today I want to go home to see Dara!" Answer Ihsan.

"No, that's not what Mama meant!" Mama Dara was angry.

"Why did Dara suddenly return home, shouldn't she still be teaching at the cottage!?" Ask Mama Dara did not think that Dara would come home soon.

"So.dia..Dara Tadi's.. ". Ihsan replied nervously, she was confused as to what to say.

"As this...What if he hears...!" Mama Dara's words were stopped by Dery

"sst..!" Dery gave his mother a sign not to continue his words.

"Listen what Mom, did Dara hear what?" Tanya Ihsan was curious about Mama's stalled words.

"It's okay, just focus on driving!" Dery answered, diverting the conversation.

Ihsan thought why Dery could be at Mama Dara's house. "what is she there, what is it?" Ask me in my heart.

In the morning, Mama Dara was still asleep next to Dara's bed. Dara was unconscious.

While accompanying Mama in the hospital room, Ihsan and Dery drank coffee.

"What do you want to ask?" Dery replied while sipping his milk coffee.

"What business are you doing at Mama Dara's?" Ask Ihsan

"It's none of your business!" Answer Dery briefly.

"of course it's my business, I'm Mama's daughter-in-law, I'm Dara's husband!" Ihsan replied annoyed at hearing Dery's words.

"I know, congratulations on your marriage!" Answer Dery

"huf..!" Ihsan sighed trying to be patient

"And yesterday.what is it.you without permission directly carry Dara just like that, in front of me, in front of her husband!" Said Ihsan annoyed with his brazen attitude Dery raised Dara's body.

Dery ignored Ihsan's question while continuing to sip a cup of warm milk coffee.

"huf. father of the same son, equally ngeselin!" Ihsan said annoyed at being ignored by Dery.

"Become..Ara..!" Mama said she woke up because she felt Dara's hand move.

Ihsan and Dery immediately got up from the sofa and approached Dara's bed.

"There's Mama, is Dara conscious?" Ask Dery to his Mama.

Ihsan who heard Dery calling 'Mama' to Mama Dara was astonished and wondering.

"Mama?" Ihsan whisper.

"Become.this is Mama darling!" Say Mama while touching Dara's shoulder.

"Mama...". Dara answered in a weak voice.

"Alhamdulillah you have realized Dara!" Answer Dery

Three days in the care of Dara, none of them dared to ask each other, why and what caused Dara to fall unconscious.

Because they both feel guilty, they speak a thousand languages.

While the doctor only said that Dara was exhausted and needed rest that was all.

Arriving at Mama's house, Dara in Ihsan's gang entered the room.

Dery and Mama were whispering outside.

"You better not stay here first Dery, then Mama will call you for the next plan!" Whisper Mom on Dery.

"What plan is Ma?"Dery asked confusedly.

"We have to go, we can't keep getting close to Dara, because all these secrets can be revealed!" Mama explained to Dery in a quiet voice.

"Wouldn't we just be honest with Dara and Ihsan ?" Dery whispered.

"Crazy for you, it's impossible, how their marriage will be, how Dara feels!" Mama Dara was angry because Dery did not understand Dara's situation.

"we have to...!" Mama's words stopped as Ihsan started to approach them.

"Shhhh.....!" whisper Dery to Mama.

Ihsan looked at the two of them.

"What is this, why are you whispering from earlier?" Ihsan asked curiously looking at Dery and Mama's awkward attitude.

"I'm sorry, Ihsan thank you, I'm taking Dara!" Dery said suddenly and walked out of the house.

"Oh yeah, be careful, kid!" Mama Dara replied as she waved at Dery.

Ihsan felt that there was something strange about the two of them.

"why did I get asked to go home?" Ask me in my heart.

"Let's go in!" Said Mama Dara taking Ihsan back into her house.

"Mama..i'm hungry.we make yuk fried rice!" Tara said from the kitchen.

"You just got home from the hospital, why in the kitchen, let's take a break!" Said Ihsan who asked Dara to return to her room.

"Don't ah.cape just keep sleeping!" Answer Dara relax. Dara takes a skillet to cook fried rice.

"let him Ihsan, maybe Dara's bored". Say Mama.

The days passed as usual.

According to Ihsan these days were the best days for him.

Ihsan was getting more friendly with Dara, because after the incident Dara had started to accept Ihsan as her husband.

Beautiful nights are so easy between the two of them. There was not a single suspicion Ihsan had on Dara.

But deep in Dara's heart, a big secret is kept. Dara's smile and cheer are nothing but theatrics.

In the bathroom, Dara looked in the mirror. Eyes glazed. He remembered all the words of his mother back then, "His father Dara killed Ihsan's parents 22 years ago!"

Those are words that can't be forgotten.

Dara tried to forget, but deep pain and disappointment she could no longer bear.

"i can't.I don't deserve.I shouldn't be here!" Dara said as she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Well, come on, baby.I can't wait!" yelled Ihsan teasing Dara.

Dara immediately wiped her tears and changed her dress with a black-colored evening dress.

"Well, baby, patient dong!" Dara answered naughty, even though in her heart was raging want to scream.

Dara came out with a flirtatious step toward Ihsan who was ready in his bed.

Mom called Dery about their plans to go as far as possible.
