The Love Story of the Dampit Family
K3D 6'S

As time passed, Arjuna grew into a handsome, well mannered, and kind-hearted child. In addition, he was also intelligent and very receptive to lessons.

Ten years Arjuna was taken care of by Tutik's mother, ARTnya ma'am Erna, but in supervision and all her needs were borne by Erna's mother. Given that Tutik was a widow who was far from her children because they had a family, then Erna entrusted Arjuna's care to Tutik's mother, and KK nyapun Tutik. Arjuna was cared for and cared for by Tutik at the house where Norma and Mr. Ma'ruf lived, because considering the house was worried if not maintained. But Tutik's mother is still loyal and works at the house of Erna's midwife as a Household Assistant.

One day, a man came with a woman in a wide headscarf, visiting the house occupied by Arjuna and Tutik bu.

"Bi, Abi sure this is his house?" ask the woman.

"Yes Mi, Abi sure. This is the same address that Norma wrote." said the man.

Tok tok tok tok

"Assalamu'alaikum" said the man politely.

Not waiting for a long time, their greetings got the answer from inside the house.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Yes for a moment." Answer from within.

Then the door opens.

"Yes, what's wrong? Can we help you?" ask me politely.

"Ehm, sorry ma'am. Is this really the residence of Mr. Ma'ruf and Norma's mother?" ask the man.

"Ehm, sorry. Who are your mom and dad?" bu Tutik has not answered but asked back.

"Include me, my name is Ilyas, and this is my wife Ulfa. We're here to see if this is really where my sister Norma lives. I'm Norma's biological sister" replied Ilyas politely.

Hearing the confession, Tutik was very surprised. Because all this time, mom Tutik thought that Norma and Mr. Ma'ruf were people who did not have relatives.

"Ehm, right? Um, yes. True, this is indeed the residence of father Ma'ruf and mother Norma" said bu Tutik a little nervous.

"Alhamdulillah. We're not wrong Mi." said Ilyas, smiling at his wife.

"Alhamdulillah. Yes Bi." replied Ulfa.

"Ehm, sorry ma'am. Can we meet with Norma?" asked Ilyas who was impatient to let go of longing with his sister.

"Oh yes sir. Before, please come in and sit down, Mom, I'll go back" said Tutik politely.

In that very simple guest room, Ilyas and Ulfa monitored the surroundings of the room. And Ilyas's view stalled in a wedding photo. Ilyas smiled looking at the photo.

"Abi, is this their child?" asked Ulfa when she saw a picture frame of a very cute baby boy on his stomach.

"Oh yes maybe Mi, because it has been a long time since I met and reported with them" said Ilyas.

"Let's sir, ma'am. Please drink first." said Tutik bu while putting his luggage on the guest table.

"Thank you ma'am." answered Ilyas and was admired by Ulfa.

"Just call me Tutik ma'am, sir, ma'am" said Bu Tutik.

"Ow, yes Tutik. Thank you." Ilyas replied again.

"Oya, sorry. Ma'ruf with Norma where is ma'am? Do they work?" ask Ilyas again while sitting on the seat that has been provided

"Ehm, no sir. Earlier, I apologize. We didn't mean to be presumptuous, but we really didn't know that Ms. Norma still had a sibling." Bu Tutik started with a confused feeling.

"What's wrong mom? What the hell is going on?" ask Ilyas curiously.

"Look sir, Mr. Ma'ruf died ten years ago" said Bu Tutik stopped.

"Innalillahi wainnailaihi roji...Ma'ruf.." murmured Ilyas at once his face turned sad.

"He died in an accident at the scene of the disaster, sir. At that time he helped evacuate and secure the victims of the disaster, but qodarullah, he was not saved. He was dragged by flood currents and buried in landslide material." Tutik said with glass.

"Astaghfirullahal'adzim." murmured Ilyas and Ulfa together.

"At that time, Ms. Norma was pregnant, sir. Ms. Norma is seven months pregnant. Really when Norma's mom was down. He we asked, is there a family that can be contacted Turns out his extended family all blocked his number, while his brother's number which he said used to help him, at that time was not active. So that we're neighbors and midwives Erna and RT sir help keep Norma's mom until delivery."

"It turns out, while at the USG, Norma's baby twins were dampit sir. So, when she was about to give birth, Ms. Norma was very tired, because she was home alone. Then, I got on the phone with Norma's mom, and we just took Norma's mom to the hospital. No wait a long time, both twins were born healthy and safe sir."

"Alhamdillah. Then, that framed photo, is Norma's son ma'am? Why only one?" ask Mr. Ilyas.

"Abi, be patient. The story is finished" Ulfa said, reminding her husband.

"Yes sir. That's Norma's son and Ma'ruf. His name is Arjuna" said Tutik. In his mind he had not been strong enough to tell what had really happened.

"Owh MaasyaaAllah is very handsome" said Ulfa.

"But...."

"But what's mom?" tanya Ilyas and Ulfa were curious.
