TEMPTATION OF FIRST LOVE
the sorrow of Arifin's son

Aulia blinked her eyes slowly, adjusting to the light of the room.His eyes looked at the sky of the hospital room.

"Well...." Aulia felt dizzy in her head as she was about to wake up.

"Where am I" Aulia spread her gaze around the room.

"Why am I here."

"Ma... Mom....!" Aulia tried to call her mother.

"Mom..." Aulia shouted to coincide with Arifin and Hesti opened the door.

"Darling..." Hesti approached and hugged Aulia namum Aulia pushing the woman to her feet on the bedroom tile.

"Don't you dare touch me"

"Mama.. mamah where mah..." Aulia again shouted hysterically, she tried to pull out the infusion hose on her hand making Arifin panic.

"Darling, don't do it, son, you can get hurt" Arifin held the princess's hand about to hug her firstborn.

"Go...., go...., never touch me." Aulia was hysterical again, Arifin pressed the green button in the room until the doctor and a nurse came immediately.

"Dok, please my daughter's hysterical." The man panicked.

"Prophey sir, the doctor finally injected something into Aulia's body so that the hadith began to calm down and slowly closed his eyes.

"Mama.." sobbed Aulia before finally falling asleep.

"Sorry sir, is this Aulia your biological daughter" asked the doctor who made Arifin link her eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, but from earlier Aulia just shouted to meet her mamah, if I think you should meet them if you do not want your daughter depressed. So before his condition is more concerning you should grant his wish." The doctor's advice before leaving the Aulia treatment room.

"Thank you doc." Arifin looked at the princess who was lying weakly without feeling a clear circle flowing on the handsome face of the man.

"Darling, forgive papa" Arifin rubbed the princess' head and then looked at his wife who was standing next to Arifin.

"It's best to contact Mia" Hesti said with a smile.

"Thank you, I'm sure someday Aulia will realize how much you love her, just like Mia." The man kissed his wife's hand and hugged her.

"I would have loved him so much, even from the beginning I loved them so much, you know, until now we were not given the opportunity to have children, allah wants pesta to be their constant mother, filling each other with the emptiness between us." Hesti said with a smile.

"Mas will contact Mia," The man took off his arms, tried to contact no Mia, but many times Mia's connected calls did not answer the call.

Mia just finished packing her personal belongings and arranging clothes into a suitcase assisted by Asih.

"Sih, I beg you to take care of the children well, however I cannot actually leave them with the snake woman, but this is the best decision I can make, he said, I also want to live a normal life." Say the woman as they finish putting things in the car.

"I'll say yes, I'll call you later, please no matter what happens don't leave the child." Mia hugged Asih and finally the woman left the residence of Arifin Darmawan. So sad his heart leaves the house that has many sweet memories between himself and his son continued, but he must be strong.

"I'm sorry son, you know this will make you hate mama, but mamah can't do it if you have to." Say it while wiping the tear film that continues to flow nonstop.

The car that Mia was driving now stopped at an old house in a village, the house that looked unkempt was already a lot of grass surrounding the house.

"Huf.., I can finally go back to this house." Mia unlocked the house slowly, smelling a very pungent smell of dust.

"Ah.., I've been leaving this house without occupants since Dad and mom left." Mia opened the windows and all the doors of the House began to clean the inside of the house until it did not feel dark.

"Huf.. has been sorted out, I'd better rest first tomorrow and then I continue again beberesnya." Mia finally took a shower and made a potluck dinner, lucky that she always paid for electricity and natural gas and plumbing bills every month, so everything was still workable.

A bowl of instant noodles had been served on the vegetable-free dining table with only eggs as that was all he found in the stall that was on the side of the road opposite his parents' house. Mia ate greedily because she was too hungry, but only a few tablespoons of her hand stopped remembering the three children she left behind.

"Aulia, King, Dila, please hope you're okay." Mumbled the woman.

"Mom...." Dila woke up from her deep sleep with breath going up and down like a man running fast.

"Darling, what's the granny?" Mother Hanum hugged her youngest granddaughter and gave her a glass of water.

"Dila kangen mamah nek, Dila was chasing mamah, but mamah did not want to stop, mamah did not love Dila, mamah evil, mamah lived in Dila." The 10-year-old girl's cry finally broke.

"cup... cup... cup.., honey, mamah loves you very much, but mamah there is a need that must be completed first, later if the mamah job is completed mamah will definitely return." Persuade Mother Hanum not bear.

"Why grandma lied, it won't happen, don't lie Dila should know that mommy has left us and mommy won't come back." The King spoke with a sharp and cold eye. The man is now sitting next to his twin brother.

"You have to learn independently without mummy, don't be whiny, you see a lot of children here who live without their parents, but they're fine, they're fine, don't let your tears go to waste. Mama's not coming back because she's not our mother, our mother's dead. And you know no mother loves a child more than their mother."

"King, ..?" Buk Hanum shook his head.

"Darling, your mother loves you guys so much, don't get me wrong." Buk Hanum tried to give understanding to King and Dila.

"No need to entertain me grandma." The king came out of the room and chose to sit on a bench in the playground.

"Hiks.. hiks.. hiks.., I hate mamah why he left us"

"I also hate papa, he makes mamah go, "The king sheds his tears in the dark.

While Arifin was so frustrated because he failed to find Mia in every place he was looking.

"Huf... Where else should I look for Mia, if I knew all this would happen I would rather lose my love, than see my daughter suffer, she said, Mia I beg you to come back I promise I'll divorce Hesti and fix our household." The man muttered while putting his head on the car's steering wheel.
