Part Five

"Pa, Adit go to school first okay" I said goodbye

"Son, you're already going to school, have you had breakfast?" my papa asked

"Not yet, pa, Adit will eat at the school canteen" I answered

"You, at least you fill your stomach first so you don't get hungry while studying at school, after all your father is in the dining room having breakfast while saying goodbye to your father" my papa scolded

"Later, Pa, Adit is late, I'm afraid the gate will be closed by the school guard" I'm afraid I'm late

"Well then, be careful on the road, don't speed," my papa warned

"OK pa" I said I then rode my motorbike leaving the yard and heading to my school

Arlan then entered the house and saw his husband drinking coffee while reading the newspaper

"And your child has gone to school" Arthur said Arlan's husband

"Yes, mas, he was in a hurry, he said he was afraid he was late" said my papa

"Your child must be taught manners and manners, he should have said goodbye to me before going to school" my stepfather emphasized

"Yes, mas later I will tell Adit when he comes home from school" replied my papa

My relationship with my stepfather is not very good, I don't want to admit Arthur as my new father yet I still haven't moved on from Christina, my biological mother, my mother died of cancer. When my mother was alive I was very close to my mother, when my mother died I was devastated by her death. I don't accept the fact that my mother is dead. When my papa wants to remarry this time with Arthur, I refuse Arthur to be my new father, I just want to approve the relationship between my papa and his new husband when I dream of meeting Christina my birth mother

"Adit dear why are you crying son" my mother said

"mom is this really mom" I doubt

"yes honey this is your mother" my mother assured me I immediately hugged my mother tightly and burst into tears

"mom, Adit misses mom, why doesn't mom go home, dad misses mom" I raved my mom let go of her hand

"Dear, I'm sorry mom can't go home again, our nature is different"

"Then I just want to die so I can be with mom again" I sobbed

"Dear death and life of a person is determined by God" my mother said

"Don't you pity and love your papa, you are the only son who should be able to take care of and protect your mother" my mother scolded

"I'm sorry, mother" I'm sad

"It's okay dear, even though I'm not with you, I'm always in your heart" mom touches my chest

"Oh, yes, Mom, soon, Papa will remarry, but I don't approve of Papa having a new husband.

"Would you be mad if daddy remarried?"

"Listen, honey, mom isn't angry if your papa remarries, your papa has the right to that. If your papa is happy, your mother is also happy."

"Does that mean that you agree that Papa remarries?" ask me my mother nodded confirming my question, then my mother began to disappear from my sight.

I screamed hysterically and woke up from my dream. Hearing me scream, my papa Arlan immediately ran to my room and tried to calm me down

"Adit what's wrong son why are you shouting did you have a bad dream son?" ask my dad worried

"a. a. i dream. dream to. meet m. mother" I stutter

"You dream of meeting your mother" repeated my papa I nodded my head then I told my dream to my papa about my mother.

After that my papa gave me a drink and I drank it until it was finished then my papa gave me a change of clothes because my clothes were wet with sweat, I changed my clothes with the clothes my papa gave me after that I went back to sleep.

My papa gave me a kiss on the forehead and came out of my room

"I miss you" my papa cried remembering his late wife Christina

Finally my papa married Arthur after getting my blessing. My father knows that Arthur is a divorced widower who has two children from his first marriage.
