Suddenly a Husband
Meet Upik

From her current appearance, the girl seemed like her life was not much different from her childhood. He was so thin, his skin was black, his facial lines were hard, his path was limping, his age looked older than it should be, probably because he was working too hard and the harsh trials of life were hitting him.

Are you all right, son?

I stood in front of their hut. While Upik who had just returned home after working part-time as a housekeeper was silent while looking at me. He seems to remember me because he looks surprised.

"Upik?" called him.

"Om Ben?" he took a few steps back. "Om, is it here?"

"Yes. I'm here, Pik." There's a lot of questions I want to ask, but it's stuck. My oral feels Kelu. I could only look at him with haru. After all these years I finally found Yohana's adopted children. "You how are you? Are you all right?" A very stupid question, from his current condition it looks right that he is not okay. The world has already forged it in such a way. "Sir, if Yohana knew this she would be so happy, she would rush here to see you soon, son."

"Mother? Where is mom?" Upik gave a reaction, he cried when he heard the name Yohana. "Is mom okay?"

"Yohana's home, she doesn't know that I found you. If he knew, he would be very happy because all this time he was always looking for you. He misses you so much, Pik. Her life hasn't calmed down when she finds out you're missing. We went back and forth to Sumatra a few times to look for you!" I who could not resist haru finally cried also remember the struggle of Yohana which turned out to be not in vain. His prayer today is revealed by Allah. He must be very happy. Its burden for many years finally disappeared as well. "You know, Pik, Yohana to the point of getting sick, even she was almost depressed because she lost track of you. He wants to keep waiting for you in Sumatra, he wants to find his own. He misses you so much!"

"real om? Is it true that our mother nyariin? Right mom cares about us, misses us? Om, where's mom now?" tanyakanya.

"There's at home. You wanna meet?" tanyaku, answered a nod by Upik.

It didn't take much longer, the three of us ended up going to my house to bring Upik and Yohana together. For some reason, the road to the house feels more distant than when leaving. Several times I called Yohana so that she prepared herself without telling her that I had found Upik. Yohana was wondering, but I didn't tell her. While Upik was so moved to hear Yohana's voice. He also wanted to say, but I forbade him so that this would be a surprise for him.

[Who are you going to meet me with?] asked Yohana, still in a limp voice. It is like ogah-ogahan.

[With the person you most want to meet. Guess who Han is?] ask me while smiling, imagine how the meeting will be.

[Nobody wants me to see more than my two kids. Upik and Puti.] replied Yohana, making the tears of Upik increasingly scattered. He's ashended. [Sweetie, whose voice is that? I heard a woman crying. Who are you with?]

[Later you will know. Wait at home, I said.].

[But who? Notify now. Why is my heart beating like this. Who it?]

I intentionally hang. Let Yohana guess. While Upik was busy calming himself who dissolved in haru. He must be just as missed as us.

The car enters the yard. I asked Upik to come down, while Yohana who was curious about the person I was carrying was waiting at the door with Caca.

I opened the back door, asking Upik to come down. The girl painstakingly went down while bowing her head.

"Sir, you've been waiting for your mother" I said.

Raising his head, he cried. And so is Yohana who is speechless. If there was no Caca beside him, maybe he would collapse so shocked. Finally he was able to find the child he had been looking for for a dozen years. A very missed child.

"Mother ..." with lame footsteps, Upik tried to approach his adoptive mother. He then entered the deck until finally the two women hugged each other. They let go of longing, crying each other and expressing longing.

I gave them a moment to let go of the miss. After the cry subsided a bit, I invited everyone into the house.

"What's been going on? How was your life all this time? where do you live? Are you all right?" Yohana hunts Upik with many questions.

"Mother ...." Even Upik cannot speak. "I'm sorry if it made my mother worried and sad. You must be disappointed in us, right?" ask Upik who feels very guilty for going without permission to make us look around until now.

"Mother never angry with the children mother, mother only worried about the safety of both of you. mother is afraid you guys why. Mother loves you very much. You know what, kid? I think you'd rather die when you lose you. For you are the spirit of mother's life. Don't go anymore." pinta Yohana.

"Where is your sister?" ask Yohana.

I also asked. At once I realized that my main goal before was to find Nilam or Puti. But because of the meeting with Upik then everything was sidetracked.

"Nilam is Puti" I said.

"What's? Meaning how? Nilj ... Nilam who came to our house, it was Puti? Is that right, dear? Tell me? I really don't understand." Yohana looked confused.

"Yes, it was their neighbor who told me. Puti changed her name to Nilam. Isn't that right, Pik?" I looked towards Upik.

"Sir, is that right, son? Answer me, I won't be angry." said Yohana.

"Mother .. om Ben, what exactly has Puti done so you seek him by the name of Nilam?" ask Upik.

I told him briefly what had happened between me and Puti, as well as all the gossip he spread. I don't know what the purpose is. I'm pretty sure this was intentional because he must have known us. Me and Yohana. Everything was planned by him.

"Astagfirullah, so he really did it all. Even with a more terrible scenario. Is that right Puti, Om?" Upik also looked very surprised.

" Yes Pik, Puti has done it all. Son, now tell me, tell me everything. Also where he is. We won't do bad things to her. We just want to bring him here, to his house, as our children. The past is quite settled, after that everything will be forgiven." I said.
