"Don't you want to see Brother Yohana?" ask Ami, tonight, when I go home. He still accompanied me to arrange the used room used by Yohana and Alif.
Deg. I'm speechless. Ever since knowing what was really happening, every time I remembered or heard his name, my heart immediately thumped erratically.
"He's married. Why meet people's wives." I pretended to be ignorant even though the actual feeling was not good.
"What if Yohana's sister isn't married?" ask Ami again.
"What the hell is Mi? His uncle picked him up because someone proposed. You yourself said, one of the women who picked up was the family of the man who would propose to him. It means it's a fix."
"Stupid is God's business, bang. Just like sustenance. Food alone, already in front of the mouth is not necessarily our sustenance because it can fall, snatched people or anything."
"I mean I have to take Johana away from that man? Ngawur you! Though I love him dearly, I will not break the rule of God, take away the wife of men. Abstinence Mi!"
"Love weight? Brother really still love brother Yohana? Answer, bang!"
"What the hell?" I pretended to be busy putting clothes in the closet, then was about to go out to avoid my sister, but at the door of the room already stood mother.
"Do you like Yohana, Ben?" ask mother.
"Bun," I dodged.
"Ben, please answer me" said the mother.
"Why talk about this, Bun? Just futile. Even if I still love him, will it affect him? No, right!" I slightly raised the tone of voice because it began to be uncomfortable pressed by Ami and mother.
"Well, how do you say that?" Ami reminded.
"Sorry, Bun," I tried to calm myself down..
"Bang, from where you know, Brother Yohana decided to accept the proposal from his relatives because he believed that you did not love him anymore. So he decided to stay away, to be calm to continue his life. Actually, he was so jealous because he thought the children who came yesterday were his lover Brother. That's why he finally backed down" said Ami.
"real Ben. Actually Yohana is still very hopeful with you. If you had accepted yesterday, he would not have left. Alif won't lose her mother either." Mother lowered her head.
"Everything's too late. Yohana's gone, Bun." I said.
"Ben, if you can ask. Will you look for Yohana for mother? Somehow feeling mother says you still have hope, Ben. All this time he has never felt happy, pick him up Ben, happy him as a cure for the suffering he felt because of our family." pinta Mommy.
I'm rattled. How to meet Yohana. After his departure, he intentionally erased all traces of him from us. Ami told me that the number Hp Yohana is no longer active. The only number of his uncle who used to contact Abah and Mommy also could not be contacted. Only his uncle's home address remains. Then how do we find him?
"Bun, please do it." I said
"But Ben, that kid has sacrificed a lot for our family. Ever since he was taken care of, never have our foster parents really pleased him. He was present just for the lure so that the mother can have a daughter." Mother's story.
Actually, I don't know any of that. As long as he came to our house, Yohana was just a decoration. Abah often shows off having adopted children in order to get praise from people that he is a noble heart willing to care for orphans.
One day I gave him a suggestion to refuse to do housework, but Yohana did not want to. She was afraid if she was angry or complained to Abah.
Although very tired, Yohana was always patient. That's why I love him so much. And until now I regret having hated him even though he did everything for the sake of our family.
"Ben," Mother woke me from the daydreams.
"Ben can't promise anything, Bun. Especially if he was invited back just to babysit Alif who is not his biological child. Yohana's not responsible for that." I said, making you surprised because I didn't know that I knew everything. "Yohana's burden is so great in this family, let her be free and feel happiness that is certainly not given by one of our family members" I said.
"Ben, the mother promised, if Yohana came back, she would not be the way she used to be. Mother would really treat her like a real child herself. Mother will love him. Mother has sinned a lot on him" said mother.
Yohana .. Where are you? I really miss you. If coming back here can make you happy, then I pray that God will bring us together again. But if you can be happier elsewhere, then I pray that we never meet again.

[Ben, I'd like to see you.] Message from Reni. Plus crying emoticons.
[Why?" i retaliated.
[Papa wants me to drop this content.]
[Innalilahi wa Inna ilaihi Raji'un!"
[Ben, help me. I don't want an abortion.]
[I skate there.]
I immediately slid towards Reni's house while praying to soften her father Reni's heart, either way.

"No way, Ben. The boy can't live" said Reni's father.
"But the boy is innocent. Reni also did not mind to nurture him. So please allow it, om." I asked.
"Ben, do you know whose kid it is? The son of a criminal who abused my daughter. After all there are many culprits said Reni, I don't know who the father of this child. I really can't imagine how big it will be. This kid will be a burden for us and Reni for sure. His future will be over. She would have a hard time finding a mate even though Reni is our only daughter. He is our only hope to continue this life. So don't defend Reni anymore." ask Reni's father.
"But this child is innocent."
"Unlawfully, aborting a pregnancy for the result of rape is okay, Ben. We firmly believe this is the best solution for our daughter."
"Om, I'm a nobody, but I'm very confident that Reni will be a partner in raising her baby later."
"What kind of partner, Ben? Just being a sharing friend, helping to pick up this child at school or what? I am a father of a daughter we love so much, I will not let my daughter suffer later because of this baby!"
