Because Amen is the Same
39. The Test of Love

Heti's mother again closed the door to Viona's inpatient room, and soon the door opened again and there appeared Rifal, Marcelea and Ray.

"Why is Viona mam?" Ask Rifal.

"Viona lied to the doctor, asked still sick?, ehh instead the answer was not but grimacing" explained Mother Heti made the listeners laugh.

"Did the doctor know he was lying, Mom?" Rifal asked again deliberately teasing his sister.

"Doctors know, so mama and Ahmad just silently heard the play Viona who wants to get out of the hospital quickly" explained Heti's mother again.

Ray just silently heard the name Ahmad called by the mother of Heti. He glanced at Marcelea at a glance and unknowingly it turned out that his cousin had seen him first.

"It's aunty" Ray said by giving a fruit parcel to Heti's mother.

Heti's mother put the fruit on the table and continued the story. Heti's mother just this time looks smiling and she laughs once in a while.

There is a sense of relief in the hearts of the children of Heti mothers seeing their beloved mother is not as sad as a few days ago.

"Have you guys had lunch?" Ask Mother Heti.

"Yes mam, before coming here my brother and I ate first" replied Marcelea.

"If you want to eat out, Rifal will go between where you want, there will be Lea and Ray also guard Viona. I will also call Mr. Yesi for their friend" Rifal explained.

"Didn't Missi pick Ainun up at school?" Lea asked, "what are I and Alex doing to look after Viona" she said, smiling at Heti's mother and her husband.

"Okay, take care of yourself too" Heti's mother ordered and took her bag.

Rifal and Heti's mother are out looking for food outside the hospital. And in the hospital stay the two who look after Viona. Viona's condition is still as usual and is currently sleeping.

Marcelea asked her cousin again.

"Lex, are you really serious about Viona?" Ask Marcelea again.

"Yes Marcel, I want to joke around with his son" replied Ray casually leaning back in the room.

"Where is Gladis?" Ask Marcelea again.

"There's nothing with Gladis" Ray explained.

"Sure, it's a photo on her instagram with Mami, is she from there?" Ask Marcelea again.

"Yes, sister, Mami told me when Gladis was there" Ray replied again.

"Oh" said Marcelea, "did Mami know if you had different beliefs?" Ask Marcelea again.

Ray shook his head and Marcelea understood the ring.

"But you're serious Lex?" Ask Marcelea again.

Marcelea's heart was hesitant to hear her cousin's answer, but what made her doubtful and unsure about the relationship to continue to a more serious level is the difference between the two of them.

"The higher test of love is different from Lex's belief, are you sure you left Mami and Papi like me and my parents?" Ask Marcelea.

Hearing that Ray immediately imagined the faces of his parents, he could not see the faces of people who loved him without expecting a sad and disappointed reply on him.

"Can't, can't stand Mami and Papi" his inner voice shook his head.

"Alex will find another way, brother" he answered confidently after he was silent for a moment.

"What's Lex doing?" Marcelea asked again, not sure if her cousin had any other way but to marry in a country that legalizes different beliefs.

"You want Viona to move countries?" Ask Marcelea again.

"If Viona wants to" Ray answered briefly and Marcelea shook her head immediately.

Marcelea did not expect that her cousin would think that far. However, being honest in his heart was not willing if his sister-in-law married a person who was not like the faith even though it was his own cousin.

Both of them were silent, not knowing what they were thinking. Suddenly scattered by the sound of a small child from outside reaching for the door and trying to open the door.

"Mom's hard" Adu Ainun while pushing the door.

"Mom help, push again" said Yesi as she told her son.

Ainun and Yesi pushed open the door and saw Ainun sweating a little.

"Kok sweated baby?" Marcelea asked after entering Viona's ward.

"Aunty's running" replied Yesi imitating the voice of a child.

"Aunt Viona's still sleeping?" Ainun asked and was carried inside the room.

"Bibiiii" Call Ainun to make Viona instantly open her eyes.

Yesi immediately shut his son's mouth, "astaghfirullah, later disturbed the others. It's a hospital not a baby's house" he told his son gently.

"Ainun is here?" Viona asked after turning her head, she could not move her right hand and leg so she could only turn her left head right. And if you want to lean then usually the mother who helps him.

"Yes aunty, aunty got greetings from Ainun's friend" he said again as he approached his aunt.

"illness?" Ask again curious.

"Yes, really" replied Viona again.

"Chealing soon aunty. Said Ainun RINDU's friend" Said Ainun again making Viona laugh at hearing that.

"What's his name, baby? Greetings to friends Ainun" replied Viona, "still little already know longing too" He said.

"Hihi" Ainun laughed as she covered her mouth in embarrassment and sat back on Jesse's lap.

"It's so hot on the deck" Ray said as he pinched Ainun's cheek slightly, he was anxious to see Ainun's behavior. Because they were sitting side by side so it was easy for Ray to pinch Ainun's cheek on his mother's lap.

"The big aunt cheeks" Ainun said again.

As soon as Viona held onto her cheek, "No, just like Ainun was hungry so he couldn't see aunt clearly"

"Udah ate ice cream" Ainun replied making Viona pursed her lips in annoyance because she was still unable to eat ice cream.

Their time together this afternoon passed quickly and now it was afternoon. Because Marcelea was pregnant, it was forbidden to stay in the hospital.

Marcelea returns home with Yesi and Ainun, while Ray returns home. And Rifal and Ms. Heti, just returned to the hospital after afternoon.

Unlike in Ahmad's restaurant, one of his waiters asked Viona who had not come again.

"Sir, customers on behalf of Viona and Ainun why have not come again?, Is our service disappointing?" He asked with all the courage he gathered as long as Viona did not come.

Waiter who always serves Viona every meal at the restaurant was trying to correct himself even though until now has not been able to reprimand from his boss. She always remembers her boss's message that Viona was being served as best as she could because of her friend.

"No, Viona was devastated so it did not come" Ahmad explained.

"What is the end of the year, sir?" Ask with a curious face.

"Vehicle accident, hit a tree at home in his father's hometown" explained Ahmad.

Although Viona is a customer and she is a waiter but she knows that the ones she has served all this time are good people. He could see when faced with the behavior of his father who sometimes sulk if not obeyed his will, but Viona gently advised him.

"Yes, thank you" replied Ahmad and the waiter nodded and left to continue his work.

"I'm saying yes sir" Pamitnya then leave.

"Please" Ahmad replied briefly again.

Ahmad deliberately sat in one of his restaurant chairs to monitor the performance of his employees.

Still sitting monitoring his phone suddenly the sound of a sign there is an incoming message.

"Viona asked for ice cream" he murmured.

Ahmad replied quickly, "Emang can already eat ice cream?" Ask through that message.

"My mom's banned, the doctor never talked about the ice cream" Viona said by typing with her left hand.

"Should ask dong, don't assume the doctor didn't say it was okay" Ahmad replied again to Viona.

"Mad, I typed this left hand you know and even that I chatted you this because my mother is in the bathroom and Rifal's sister again went home to take a change of clothes" Viona explained in a short message.

"I'll call the hospital first, make sure" Ahmad replied.

"No Mad, I'll get scorned" he replied again.

Viona was afraid that if suddenly the nurse or doctor came to check on her would discuss the matter of escrim, not only getting scolding but her phone would be confiscated.

"OK" replied Ahmad.

Viona who read Ahmad's message so short, "Gak nanya, just okay. Good thing you're my friend" Viona mengedumel alone while looking at her phone screen.

Heti's mother from the bathroom pulled out a chair and sat down beside Viona's bed.

"Vio, don't think of anything" he said, making Viona frown.

"I mean mam?" Ask Viona.

"Focus first on your health" he explained again.

"Yes I know mam, do you think what my mom thinks?" Ask Viona back.

"Hopefully not God's eskrim" Viona prayed in her heart.

"Married" replied Heti's mother quickly.

"Yeah.." Viona's response then he laughed, "hahaha, kirain eskrim just make degregan" he said and immediately closed his mouth.

"Udah was detained so as not to be flabbergasted, this lips like his master being scolded" Viona grumbled inwardly.

Heti's mother narrowed her eyes, "Oh, her mind is ice cream from earlier?, will recover completely and eat Vio's ice cream. Don't be weird" explained Mother Heti.

"Why mam, how strange?, Mama whose mind is far away" replied Viona did not want to lose.

"Aow mam, sick" said Viona after getting a jewel from her mother.

"Therefore don't answer if mama says, mama said like that because I saw Ahmad and Ray come in turns" explained Heti's mother again.

"Well.." Viona said she stopped because someone knocked on her door and greeted her.

"Stay" said Mother Heti and went to open the door.

"Eh son Ahmad, how come the tumben come night and night to the hospital?" Heti's mother asked after they sat in a chair not far from Viona's bed.

"Mad, don't you have ice cream?" Viona asked with a cheerful face at the arrival of her friend.

"Don't take it, anyways, it's the night, the ice cream meal. Isn't it aunt?" Ask Ahmad.

Viona immediately looked at Ahmad lazily, "I know compromise with mama" he said and turned to the other direction. He's lazy to see his mother and Ahmad tonight.

Heti's mother just raised her shoulders, "that's how Ahmad's son is big but like a child" said Heti's mother again.

"Hahaha, maybe because of the youngest tan" Ahmad replied after he laughed.

"Son, mom's youngest friend doesn't like him. That's why I like to think now, about the time of cravings to eat what it is" said Ms. Heti makes Ahmad feel funny.

Actually, not only Ahmad who feels funny to hear the words of Heti's mother but Viona as well, but he pretended to be angry so it is impossible to laugh as far as Ahmad.

"Know who owns the restaurant where you work for Ahmad?" Asks Mother Heti, she suddenly remembers Viona's story of good ice cream.

"A little tan" replied Ahmad, "does there need a aunt? maybe I can help"

"His family is married?" Ask Heti's mother to Ahmad

Ahmad hesitated a little, he was afraid of being wrong.

"Actually Viona any story is the same as his mother" inner Ahmad.

"It looks like he is not an aunt" replied Ahmad again

"Young or old but a widower?" Ask Mother Heti again.

"That Ahmad did not know too well tan, why tan if you may know?" Ahmad asked curious about Heti's mother's question.

"This Viona likes to eat ice cream there, usually it's different if you have your own ice cream and buy. Afraid to marry her husband's money out because of buying ice cream" Revealed Mother Heti again.

"Hahaha, I understand the tan, meaning that Viona ate the most ice cream without paying" explained Ahmad, who was taken by Heti's mother.

Viona actually wanted to chimed in on her mother when asking the restaurant owner to Ahmad, but she tried to hold back wanting to know where the conversation was going.

"Mam I'm there not paying on condition that I bring a child, so I always pick up Ainun at school so it's time to come home to eat ice cream. Ask Ahmad if you don't believe" said Viona.

"Wow why Viona said it's like that, what will I answer" Batin Ahmad.

Heti's mother saw Ahmad immediately and then looked back at her son.

"Vio, all this time mama has never heard of eating for free at a restaurant on the condition of bringing a child" said Ms. Heti.

"That was mama's time, Viona's time was different again. If you don't believe me, you will take Ainun with you, but you must take her every day and not change tables. There is a number also later the number is raffled" Viona explained.

"It doesn't make sense if you think, from ancient times eating in restaurants would pay. In addition, the restaurant is owned by the husband or his own"

"Rezeki Sholeh mam's son. Ehh Mad was raffled when, because curious about the prize" said Viona again.

Heti's mother does not believe Viona's explanation, she takes the initiative for herself.

"Mama will check the truth itself, if bringing a child is easy. Girls alone can bring small children, especially mothers" said Ms. Heti who made Ahmad shocked not to believe.

"Seriously tan?" Ask Ahmad.

"Yes, I will call my study friends as well" replied Mother Heti confidently.

Ahmad was no longer able to speak, he did not think to the mothers of studies. Free ice cream applies only to Viona, but because Viona's intelligence tells everything to her mother makes Heti's mother curious and wants to prove her son's words.
