A Piece of the Past In White Grey
Chapter 26

Samar I heard a voice when my eyes were still hard to open. My head felt very throbbing and his body was very limp. On the back of my hand I felt something stuck like a stab.

“Agatha?” The sound I heard first when I wasn't perfect my eyes looked around.

There was Mami Tasha with Grandma and Grandpa sitting in this room. I was in the hospital.

“Thank God you're aware too, honey. Mami is very anxious.” Grandma Indri and Grandpa Firman must have accompanied Mami Tasha to take care of me. Because Papi has left with Grandpa Dahlan and Grandma looking after Gara.

Given that my mind immediately asked my sister's situation there.

“How to, Mi? Any more news on him?” my question made Mami Tasha nod.

“Gara is not yet aware. Papi you're still on your way. Lucky there are his friends who help keep your sister.”

“Now you don't think much. You must be tired of working too much. Next time, pay attention to your health as well. If it hurts like this pity is not your Mami?” I nodded at Grandma Indri's advice who said softly while holding my hand. In his examination of my forehead.

God, what kind of luck do I get right now? All the families that don't even have blood ties with me are so kind to me.

“Mami, Grandma, Grandpa, I'm sorry. I've been troubling you guys. I promise I won't trouble you guys anymore.” I said inwardly. I really feel very guilty.

Where Mami and Papi should have always been together is precisely now that they separated because of my negligence.

“We are not hassles, Agatha. Only your health is much more important.”

Three days in the hospital, I was finally able to return home. My body feels so much healthier than before. And during that time Mami and her parents never wanted to leave me in the hospital alone.

“Not down yet? Agatha has returned home. Am I just going there?” I heard Mami seemed to be communicating with Papi on the phone. Mami's head nodded hearing Papi's words across there which I myself could not hear.

“Iya, okay. Careful.”

“What's up, Mi?” I asked when Mami Tasha ended her call.

“Your father asked us to go there only. Because it's not better yet. Even now it's been added to vomiting. Your sister seems worse. And we have to get there.” I was silent for a moment. Hearing our words suddenly I was agitated.

Nnnnope. I can't go with Mommy. I can't see Gara anymore. We have decided to stay away for the good of family relationships.

If I were there there would be things I didn't want to happen. The weak state of Gara can definitely make me melt in any way.

“Em, Mami I'm just here huh? Let me take care of Papi's work here. Mama better get going. If it still does not improve in the next few days I will follow.”, I said.

“So. But you live in Grandma Indri's house huh? Mami will not be calm if you are at home with Aunt.” I also obey. Although it actually feels very uncomfortable if you have to stay at Grandma's house where there is no blood bond with me.

I used to live in Grandma Rima's house. But this time they're already in Germany with Papi.

As a result, I was taken by Mami to Grandma's house the next day. My body is not fully recovered. And today Mami went straight to the airport.

If only my body was not weak like this I would like to rush to work to the office. Living in a home is very uncomfortable. And this is the first time I've stayed at Mami and Gara's house.

“Wah Mami's room is very spacious and neat.” my praise when I first entered Mami's room which he said was her place since childhood.

Here I alone look at every corner of Mommy's room. Where many photos of Mami and Gara as a child. The handsome boy's face in front of me at this moment I can still remember clearly.

“He's really handsome.” my compliment unknowingly said.

However, one thing is stealing my attention right now. There was not a single face of Papi on display in this room.

“This is Grandma bringing you lunch, Agatha. Let me take the medicine in time.” The arrival of Grandma Indri suddenly made me shocked.

“Grandma,”

“Why? You remind your sister when you were a kid? Should have remembered that your age was not so small when you came here first.” I'm nodding.

This house I have been to before. Where Papi was getting a lot of and hard blows from Grandpa. Previously I was angry and did not like the treatment of Grandpa Firman. However, the word Gara is a punishment if someone is not good.

“I remember, Grandma. It's just why doesn't Papi have his face among these many photos? While at home there is kok on their photo display with Papi.” My curious soul made Grandma sigh and put the food she brought for me on the nightstand.

“But you used to never exist during the growth period Gara since the beginning of your Mami pregnancy. That's why your Papi didn't have a photo in Gara's childhood. Just like you, Gara did not feel the affection of her Papa since childhood. When he was older he recognized his papi.” My eyes were round hearing Grandma's words.

“You guys are lucky. Your mother raised you without a father figure. Pregnant and giving birth without your Papi knowing. During pregnancy and childbirth that is beside Mami you are only Grandma and Grandpa who until now Gara called Mamah and Papah. You are both very sorry children. But, all was missed. There's nothing to regret. The important thing is that you grow up with a complete parent right now and do not lack affection. Now eat and take medicine.” I still don't feel enough about what Grandma said.

“Then, what does Papi, Mami, and Mamahku have to do, Grandma? Did Mamahku come as a woman snatch husband people?” I'm very curious. All this time I didn't dare ask Papi and Mami. Because they don't want to get hurt.

I saw Grandma shaking slowly. “As grandma said before. Mami and Mamahmu are both women who are pregnant without being accompanied by your Papi. The relationship they had from the beginning was wrong. It is related like a husband and wife even though their bond is only courtship status in High School. The free enterprise that destroyed their lives. Mom and Mom are pregnant out of wedlock. Even your own dad doesn't know that. Until finally revealed first is Gara. Where Papi you tried so hard to marry Mami Tasha. However, we all did not expect that in the midst of their happiness even your arrival as the son of another woman makes the corn-like marriage threatened to be destroyed. Papi you had wanted to separate, until at last Mami you tried to accept everything by including taking care of you as a child from her husband's past. Uh it turns out that the DNA test was swapped, and we were all shocked when you turned out to be not the son of Papi Raga. But, that's all right for us, Agatha. We've accepted you like accepting Gara as our granddaughter.”

Grandma told me long and long until I finally really understood. At least there's a sense of relief that I feel when my biological mother is not the woman who snatches people's husbands. Although actually I was quite embarrassed when I knew I was not Papi's flesh blood, which means that my existence in the middle of Mami and Papi was a DNA test error that said if I was a child of Papi with my mother.
