"What business is he in that house. Why isn't the gate locked?" ask Anggita. The husband and wife were watching Nia's movements after getting off the taxi. Nia was carrying a large plastic bag. Nia opened the gate easily as it did not seem to be locked.
Nia stepped increasingly into the yard area without any obstruction Security officers no longer exist since Rendra left the house. The woman did not go to the main door but walked to the right side of the house.
"We're there now" said Evan after Nia was nowhere to be seen. Angita agrees. The husband and wife opened the car door at the same time. They walked quickly towards the gate hand in hand. They followed the steps of Nia who walked to the side of the house. Many questions that enter the mind of the husband and wife will be the arrival of Nia to this house considering Anita's mother is not in this house anymore.
Evan and Anggita walked slowly. They wanted to find out what Nia was doing back there before greeting the pregnant woman. The husband and wife stopped their steps when they heard Nia's voice talking to someone else. Evan and Anggita looked at each other because they felt confused. There was another person behind the house while Mama Anita had been in jail for almost a week. Evan also learns there have been no more workers in the house since Rendra and Anita's mother divorced. Then who is the person Nia's interlocutor.
"Eat first aunt. I brought this for aunt."
"home."
"Yes, he must have gone home. But eat first."
"home."
Evan and Anggita looked at each other to hear Nia talk with someone. Evan was unable to contain the curiosity in his heart. The man pulled his wife's hand. They stepped towards the place where Nia was with a fat woman sitting under a mango tree.
While walking, Evan and Anggita noticed the fat woman. Nia was unaware of the husband and wife's arrival because of her position behind Evan and Anggita. Nia was too busy persuading the woman to eat.
Nia sounded like she was taking a deep breath. It seemed that the pregnant woman was tired of persuading the woman to be ready to eat. The fat woman said only one word - go home.
"More."
Heard his name called. Nia immediately turned her body and looked very surprised to see Evan and Anggita were in that place.
"Women, Mr. Evan."
Nia mentioned the name of the husband and wife. The shock on his face was gone now changed with a paled face.
Evan looked at Nia sharply. Then he watched the fat woman closely. After seeing the woman from a close distance. It can be ascertained if the obese woman is a mentally disabled woman. The fat woman looks frightened by Evan and Anggita. The fat woman hid her face behind Nia's body.
"What are you doing here Nia. And who's this mother?" anggita asked as she stepped closer and closer to Nia and the fat woman. When Anggita was very close to Nia. The old woman moved her hand to push Anggita away. But Nia immediately caught the woman's hand and asked Anggita to retreat.
"Does Mr. Evan not remember this woman?" ask Nia without answering Anggita's question.
Evan frowned. Then watch the woman return. Nia's question confirms if she ever knew the fat woman.
"This woman is who Nia is. I just met him this time" Evan replied.
Nia smiled cynically at Evan's reply. Seeing Nia smile cynically. I think it's getting confused.
"I've guessed that's all Martin's grandfather's answers when it comes to this woman" Nia said.
"What do you mean Nia?" asked Evan sharply.
"Why are you ashamed to have a brother like him. Having mental retardation like this was not his wish. Why should he be banished and away from his own family."
"family. Discarded. What does Nia mean?" ask Anggita confused.
"From what I heard from Aunt Anita. This aunt is the younger brother of Mr. Gunawan and Mr. Rendra. But because this aunt has a mental disability. Families are ashamed to admit and do not want to be known by business partners have family members like this woman. She was put into a social care home after the age of Fifteen. This aunt is vengeful to the family for never being visited again."
Nia told what she heard from Anita's mother about the woman. Nia also said Anita's mother would threaten to bring the woman to Rendra's marriage later and show all the evidence about the woman. Nia even saw many photos of the woman's togetherness with Rendra and Gunawan. In the photo of the memories. Gunawan, Rendra and the woman are seen growing up together.
Nia didn't want that to happen. She did not want her marriage to Rendra to make the family ashamed because of the woman. Moreover, Nia had already seen how the woman was angry just hearing the name of Martin's grandfather and Rieta's grandmother. Mama Anita once provoked a grudge against the fat woman. Just hearing the name of Martin's grandfather the woman screamed hysterically and tried to throw anything that could reach her hand.
I heard the story from Nia. Evan could not comment. He knew nothing about the woman.
"So just because of this you're looking for a way to not get married to papa?" ask Anggita. Nia nodded her head.
She doesn't want her wedding party ruined because Martin's grandfather's family is getting embarrassed. The woman was besides mentally disabled. Fat body shape with a very ugly face. His body was black and always sweating. For the elite. It would be disgusting to see that woman. Maybe that's why the family alienated the woman.
"I only met him once. I brought him some food after I found out Anita's aunt was in jail. I'm afraid she's starving to death" Nia said. She is afraid that Evan and Anggita think that she is close to Anita's mother.
Nia was relieved after revealing the real thing she kept in a meeting because of the threat of Anita's mother. Anita's mom is in jail.
Evan noticed the atmosphere behind the house. He looked at the small room that seemed to have just woken up. He was very sure Anita's mother deliberately made the woman's room behind her house so that the woman was not seen by anyone who visited this house.
"Nia, can you persuade this woman to come to Rieta's grandmother's house?. I want to know the truth right now" said Evan. Nia immediately shook her head. Besides not wanting to set foot in the house let alone meet with Rendra or Danny. Nia also can not guarantee if this woman is fine if taken to Rieta's grandmother's house.
"You better go home too. We also go home now to ask about this woman to grandma" Anggita told Nia. Hearing the word go home the woman looked at Anggita.
Just now, Evan and Anggita stepped foot. There was a hysterical voice that was not from the woman. Evan and Anggita looked back and saw that Nia had also moved away from the woman. At once they realized that it turned out that the woman's legs were tied to an iron chain whose chains were wrapped around the bottom of the mango tree.
"Has she been tied up in that place all this time?" ask Anggita.
"First time after Aunt Anita's in jail. I found that woman tied up in that place. Even this week. Day and night he's tied. Even three days ago I found her soaking wet," Nia said. Nia recounted how she three days ago changed the woman's clothes with great difficulty. He had to remove the water from the bathroom in the newly built room to clean up the place that was dirty because of the woman's feces.
"Can't the chain be opened?" ask Evan. The man approached the fat woman again out of pity.
"Don't Sir. He'll turn violent later. I'm afraid you've got long nails. Because this is the first time you've met. I can sit close to her because I have met many times and always bring food for her" said Nia. Evan's steps stopped. Angita goosebumps only see the woman's nails are long and dirty.
Evan and Anggita finally decided to go home. While Nia was still in that place to make sure the woman ate first. There is no other meaning to what he is doing at the moment. He was also confused as to why he cared so much about the woman.
Evan is not stale to know about the fat woman's truth. Arriving at Grandma Rieta's house. Evan immediately asked about the woman.
"Sir, papa has a sister. Where's she?" ask Evan. The man had not even sat down. Just saw Nenei Rieta sitting on the sofa of the living room. Evan asked directly.
"Sit down, Evan. What do you mean by your question?" ask Rieta's grandmother confused.
"You're ashamed to have such an ugly and mentally handicapped daughter. You threw it into a social parlor. Is that so, grandma?" said Evan again.
He tried to contain his anger before knowing the truth about the woman.
"Don't grandma know. The impact of your actions. It is only fitting that Papa Rendra and Danny receive karma simultaneously. Papa's marriage failed and Danny had to get stuck with a difficult situation. Does Grandma know what's causing it. The man you threw away was used by Aunt Anita to destroy this family."
Rieta's grandmother can't seem to catch Evan's words. As usual if there is a problem. He gathered his son. So too with today. Rieta's grandmother asked her two children to return home immediately to discuss what Evan mentioned.
Waiting an hour is a long time. Rendra and Gunawan are on their way.
Evan recounts everything he heard from Nia after Rendra and Gunawan were in the living room.
"Grandmother and grandmother had only two children, both of us. What Nia heard from Anita was partly true and not true. We grew up with that woman. Name's Isna. He was a neighbor's son who was left behind by his parents when he was three years old because he was ashamed to make a child mentally disabled."
Gunawan told me the truth about the woman. Neighbor's son who was abandoned by his parents. Grandpa Martin and Grandma Rieta end up babysitting the child out of pity.
Grandpa Martin and Grandma Rieta do not distinguish Gunawan and Rendra with Isna. They took care of Isna with affection because they wanted a daughter. Their wish was realized through Isna. Grandpa Martin loved Isna. Because of Martin's grandfather's family, from his grandmother to him, he had no daughters. And Isna was the port of their longing.
Over time. Gunawan, Rendra and Isna grew up together. Gunawan and Rendra also loved the woman. Isna is five years younger than Rendra. Isna was at home like there was a new toy for the two sisters.
But dear thousand dear after getting bigger.. His mental disability is not a mental disability that makes him always look stupid. In time. The woman can turn like a hungry lion. I don't know where the power is. The woman can lift heavy weights easily. Even Gunawan and Rendra have also been victims. He hates someone else. He will attack mercilessly.
See how mad the woman is. Grandpa Martin and Grandma Rieta finally decided to put the woman into a social care home. And Isna's madness is becoming more and more.
Perhaps understanding that being kept away from home made Isna angry. He's angry with Martin's grandfather and Rieta's grandmother. Every grandfather Martin and Grandma Rieta came to visit. Isna will be angry with them. Sometimes they even throw at the woman.
That's why Martin's grandfather and Rieta's grandmother decided not to come visit again.
"If you consider this story a fabrication. There's a DNA test that proves what I'm telling you" Gunawan said.
Evan breathed a sigh of relief. His family is not what Anita's mother alleged. Evan contacted one of his confidants. He asks the person to ask for information from Anita's mother about Isna. From the parlour where Anita picked up the woman. Evan intends to return the woman to the orphanage.
"If Nia had been honest from the beginning about all this. At this time he is no longer in trouble," said Rendra regretting the attitude of Nia who acted alone so this is the end.
