Suffering Becomes Happiness
Chapter 19
After the two of them sat down to rest, then for a moment they were silent and confused with each other.... They are confused with themselves, because they feel they have to start words from where to start. And finally they both spoke by starting the same words, and the words were done simultaneously...
Then they said....
"Oh yeah...!! You...!!" Say them simultaneously....
After the two of them said those words... Then they were silent for a moment with a shy blush between the two. Then after that Adit allowed Icha to speak first.
Adit said to Icha....
"Please Icha.... You speak first.!! And I'll listen to you.!!"
"You're the first Dit.!!" said Icha....
"Please you first Icha.!!" adit....
Then Icha started the conversation....
"Oh yes Dit.!! I look... You were adept this morning swimming in the pond.!! Since when did you learn swimming.??"
Then Adit answered....
"Gue heng since childhood taught me bokap ama, and emang at home I have my own swimming pool. So I play almost every day in the pool, after I know swimming. Lately, I'm not too often...!! Yes understand... You know yourself besides me males, yes there is no time for swimming.
Then we ask again....
"Well besides swimming, you often sport what else.? Because I see your body is very muscular.!! Because it is not possible if only swimming can build your kayak muscles.!!"
And Adit answered....
"Gee... That is why I often exercise fitness in my house.!! Because it happens that my family has complete sports equipment.!! Yes like weightlifting and others.!!"
Then Adit asked Icha....
"Well if you yourself Icha how.?? You never learned to swim at all.!! Because what happened this morning you can drown.!! You can't swim.!! So how's Icha.??
Heard this question from Adit.... Ica immediately bowed while turning her face with teary eyes. Because Icha is saddened by his former condition, because Adit does not know about Icha's past, which Adit has about Icha, is the present. And Adit also does not know that Icha is not the original Son of Mr. Hartono. and indeed the history is deliberately kept by Icha meetings to his friends, including Adit. Because the past is so dark and so heartbreaking according to Icha... However, the past history cannot be stored in Icha memory forever. So Icha's mind is currently in two choices: "tell her about her past, or not." Because indeed from the first Icha principled the past will not be told to anyone, even against his friends to arrive at the right time" the right person" and the right moment. So Icha argues... Is this moment or the person he will tell about his past is indeed Adit," or how.!? So that's what makes Icha bowed and silent, and with teary eyes, because what is in Icha's current feelings is mixed....That's between sad" confused" and others.
Then Icha spoke to Adit....
"My past was so sad Adit.!! If I told you, maybe you wouldn't believe Adit.!! Because what you think is my life the plates are just kayaking now. Though I used to be a little girl, and even my childhood life is not as smooth as my friends all, including lu Adit.!!"
And then Adit said....
"What's wrong with Icha.?? Tell me.!! I'll be a good listener to you, and whatever you tell me... I will respond well.!!"
Then Icha said....
If Adit says....
"Yes really Icha.!! Let's tell me.!! I promise to be a good listener for your story.!! Tell me everything amu.!!"
Then Icha said....
"All right Dit.!! I'll tell you everything from the beginning.!!"
Then Icha told me everything from the beginning....
"Look at Dit.!! When I was a kid and didn't go to school, yeah... About 3 or 4 years old, I have felt misery in my family.!! Especially the misery is felt to be caused by the problem of economic deprivation, and it triggered a quarrel between bokap and nyokap me. While my original bokap named "Suseno" and nyokap me who is now it. namely: Sumiatun who became the wife of Mr. "Hartono" who is now my bokap. Because indeed when I entered the 3rd grade of elementary school, my bokap is: Suseno divorced with my nyokap, and my bokap left me ama nyokap me just like that.!! But before that, I was short of.!! Let alone for pocket money, to live a daily fuss.!! What else to buy new clothes for lebaran I rarely bought, or spoiled with good food by my family.!! My own bokap job is just a farm worker, that's also if someone tells me to... If there is no such thing as.!! So it is not uncommon to find me confused to and fro to owe to neighbors, just for daily needs.
And the worse I think the fight nyokap me and my bokap almost happens every day, and it often happens in front of me. and you can shadow Dit.!! How I was still innocent and did not know anything, often watched my bokap and nyokap quarrel before my own eyes.!! And finally I became traumatized by the bokap and nyokap me, so that I was insecure, not confident and afraid if there are people fighting.!! And the worst thing was that I was often in BULLY by my friends at school.!! And not even just school friends, my neighbor's children also often mem BULLY me.!! And you can imagine how hurt my heart was at that time.!! I saw with my own eyes, my friends at school bought this and that, whereas I just stood watching them, because I myself did not have the money to buy the food.!! And even if I wanted to get together and play with them, I was always rejected... Because according to them, my clothes are not worth it and not as good as they wear.
And after I sit in the 3rd grade of SD, then bokap and nyokap I officially divorced.!! So automatically of course I who was in the 3rd grade of elementary school was dropped out of school, because of that incident. Because how not, when my bokap still there, I lack in terms of financial, especially my time and nyokap I left bokap... Of course my life and my nyokap got worse, and more attention.!! Because how not, since the incident I and nyokap I only became a laborer washerman in neighboring houses, and I and my nyokap I often just be given to eat without being paid for using money.!!
After some time later, apparently my teacher's mother who teaches at the elementary school where I go to school, apparently knowing that one of the students in the 3rd grade" is "gue" not in class for a long time.!! And apparently the teacher asked my friends about my breakup at the school.
And finally my teacher's mother came straight home and asked me directly and nyokap me.!! My teacher's mother asked me why I did not go to school, coincidentally at that time I had no more than 2 weeks of not going to school. After my teacher asked me, I answered my teacher's question. Yes of course I said what it is.!! Nyokap I told my teacher that neither my entry nor my breakup into school was caused because I no longer have to finance.!! Good for pocket money even if only a little, or others. So I told you about my teacher... Let alone my school, make a daily meal just owe here and there the same neighbors, because it is my bokap divorce my nyokap.!! So the reason why I told my teacher, that I have no more money.!!'
Adit breaks Icha's story and asks Icha....
"Then after your teacher heard the story of your nyokap.... What did your teacher do, and what's your name.??"
Then Icha answered and continued the story....
"Oh yes Dit.!! I forgot to mention my teacher's name.!! My teacher's mother was named "Farida," while Farida's mother herself was the wife of Mr. Hartono" namely: the person who has become my husband, or my current bokap.!!
After Farida's mother heard the story from my nyokap, then Farida's mother was surprised.!! Because he did not expect my breakup due to the things told me before.
And even that makes him sad... Before I dropped out of that school, my life was very concerning and very touching feeling from Mother Farida itself. Then my teacher became very sad.!! And from that feeling... Then arise from Ms. Farida to me and nyokap me to help.!! And sure enough.... After my teacher found out, Ms. Farida spoke to me to offer a hope that might ease the burden of my suffering and immerse me.!! And my teacher offered me a job at home, which was: nyokap I was told to work at the house of Farida's mother my teacher, by being a housekeeper. After the offer was offered to me, I agreed.!! And even not only that, my teacher's mother plans to continue my education which previously dropped out in grade 3 Elementary School, so that my education can be continued with the costs borne by Farida's mother or my teacher. So stare at me and I feel that time, that my teacher Farida's mother was a human hearted angel at that time.!! Because without his help, knock me and I could not have made my life up to the present one.!! Because his help was not only continuing my education in elementary school, he even continued my education to Junior High School" then to High School" and then to college at Brawijaya University Malang. It was the same at the college.!! But at that time Farida's mother did not have time to watch me arrive at graduation, because she died.!! And it made me very sad at that time, because how noble his heart, how meritorious a Mother Farida according to me.!! Because I consider Farida's mother to be a helper angel for me and nyokap me.!! And luckily what I love is not only Farida's mother, but also with Mr. Hartono. Because of the affection of Mr. Hartono I also felt when I was first helped by Ms. Farida.!! And indeed at that time Farida's mother and her husband, Mr. Hartono who is now my father, really consider me and nyokap me their own family.!! And it just so happens that they have no children in their household.
So I was adopted by both of them, and they both treated me like their own daughter.!! so I feel comfortable with them both, because they both are so unfortunately into me.!!"
Adit briefly disconnects the story from Icha, and asks Icha....
"Then after Farida's mother died, how about your next life.??"
Then Icha answered and continued the story....
"So after Farida's mother died, it happened before I graduated at Brawijaya University Malang at that time.!! So I after graduation, I was only attended by my own nyokap and also Mr. Hartono who was not my bokap.!! But even though they both came at my graduation ceremony, I still can't MOVE ON from my sadness at that time, which in my graduation event was not attended by Farida's mother my helper. So I feel that happiness is less than perfect and incomplete in my opinion.!!
Then after I finished graduation, then Mr. Hartono bokap I proposed to nyokap me, and the application was witnessed directly by me at that time.!! And I myself when the application happened I became confused, because I did not expect at all the application process. After all, I myself consider Mr. Hartono is a father who is very responsible to his son. That's what I feel in my feelings.!! So the point is that even though Mr. Hartono did not propose to me or did not marry my handle, I still consider Mr. Hartono is my bokap who I respect very much, and again very dear to me with all his affection and sacrifice to me from the past.!!"
