Message to Martha

Amidst the warm chatter of the mother and child, there were footsteps of someone who had stopped at the door. A woman came in with her condition that did not look okay.

“Kak Ivana?” greet Rachel.

Ivana smiled, seeing Rachel still lying on the bed. All of this was because of Martha's treatment, but she had no choice but to thicken her face and meet Rachel.

As Nata said that at this hour Rachel is usually enjoying her time while reading books and others. His sister, although he obeyed Rachel not to see him first but his efforts did not stop to always pay attention to Rachel's condition in his own way. Well, Nata really kept his promise to pay attention to Rachel more and more.

“Can I log in?” pinta Ivana hesitantly.

Rachel nods lightly, letting Ivana in.

“Mad stay a while ya.” Pamit Eva's. She felt like there was something Ivana wanted to tell her daughter.

“No aunt, aunty can be here nemenin me same Rachel.” Ivana held Eva's hand from leaving.

Eva looked at her hand that Ivana was holding. Ivana's hands were very cold, it seemed like this woman was very nervous and was being very down.

“Iya. Sit.” Eva agreed.  He took a chair for Ivana, and they sat side by side facing Rachel.

"Thank you aunt." Ivana gave a small smile, looking at her sister-in-law's still pale face.

“How are you doing Chel?” Ivana asked softly. He looked awkward and did not dare to look at Rachel.

“As big brother saw, I've been much better. How are you brother?” Rachel asked back.

Ivana did not answer, preferring to turn her face while wiping the tears that dripped on her cheeks.

“Can I hug you?” his voice sounded raucous.

“Hemh, sure.” Rachel's eyes were glazed over.

Without waiting for a long time, Ivana immediately hugged Rachel. Hugged very tightly, spilling the longing and guilt that ran through his heart.

Honestly, it took a lot of courage for her to meet and talk to Rachel especially after what happened to her sister-in-law. But really, he really needed to meet Rachel. There is something to say before it is too late.

“Sorry I yes Chel, sorry I...” Ivana said as she sobbed. He hugged Rachel.

Rachel was speechless, her chest felt tight as well. He was well aware, in the mansion, Ivana was the one who was being nice to him. He loved Rachel sincerely and always gave her encouragement.

“There is nothing I need to apologize for from brother. Brother is very dear to me and I am very grateful.” Rachel said softly.

Ivana let go of her embrace for a moment, in the midst of her crying she smiled as she cupped Rachel's face with both hands.

“You are very good Chel, very good.” Reveal Ivana with great sincerity.

Rachel simply shook her head, she clasped Ivana's cold hand as it touched her face.

“You must be healthy, Brandon was very happy when I said he would have a sister from mom Acen.” Ivana continues her sentence.

Rachel nodded for sure. He missed Brandon a lot. A special child who makes her learn to prepare many things before becoming a mother.

“I miss Brandon.” Rachel's voice sounded soft.

“Iyaaa, I know. Later after you are healthy, I will invite Brandon to meet you.” Ivana's Promise.

Rachel was still nodding. The two of them threw loving smiles at each other.

“I'm sorry for Rachel and Aunt, because actually I came here in addition to looking at Rachel, I also need the help of Rachel.” After calming down, Ivana continued her sentence.

He looked at the two who were looking at him attentively.

“I may be quite shameless, meeting Rachel at a time like this just to ask for help. But really, I didn't mean anything. I just want to calm down someone who is struggling alone in his pain.” Ivana linked her fingers to strengthen each other.

“Say, what can we help?” Eva can read Ivana's anxiety. He touched Ivana's tense and trembling shoulders.

Ivana smiled faintly before starting her sentence. Her tears had already fallen before any words were said.

“Mood, pain.” His voice was barely heard. Shaking because it held back the crying.

Rachel and Eva were shocked. A few days ago, Martha looked fine.

“Mamah has a stroke and the doctor said, maybe the time will not be long.” Ivana sighed deeply then exhaled slowly.

“Doctors also can not do any action, in addition to relying on the drugs they have. Mamah really is dying for these few days.” Connect Ivana who paused her sentence for a while.

Rachel immediately straightened her body, clasping her brother's hand tightly. He knew exactly, even though Ivana was hard on Martha, but she loved Martha very much.

“Which I want to ask from Rachel, please talk to mamah. Maybe you need to hear your voice before she leaves.” Ivana looked at Rachel seriously. He could not bear to see Martha lying helplessly with many tools attached to her body.

“I know, this is too naive. But I feel, that mama might still be waiting for you. Waiting for you to apologize, just a little. Because the doctor said, the last name you mentioned before he was anfal, is your name.” Ivana tried to strengthen herself.

“If mamah really has to go, I'm the same Nata already sincere. We did not expect much of the same situation. But I hope you can leave quietly. Without bringing regret because all this time continue to hurt you.”

Rachel was silent for a moment, returning Ivana's gaze that rained down on her heart. Rachel's heart is broken. Of course he could not allow Martha to continue to be in this condition. If there is anything he can do, he will.

“Sure, I'll talk to mamah.” Rachel's timpals with confidence.

Ivana could no longer speak. He could only hug Rachel tightly. Really he felt very lucky to have a sister-in-law as good as Rachel.

Through the voice recording, Rachel seemed to talk to Martha. He smiled, imagining that he was greeting the woman in front of him.

“Hay mah, how are you today?” Rachel paused her sentence for a while, sighing and exhaling slowly to calm herself down.

“Many difficult days we face, yes mah. I am sometimes very sad at the circumstances that put me in a position that my mother did not want. If I could change it, I really wanted to be a daughter-in-law who could love and love with all my heart. But what can be done, the situation still positions Rachel like this. But really, Rachel never regretted this situation.”

“Several times, Rachel had felt sad because she failed to get the heart and attention of mamah. Rachel often makes you angry and upset. But it all motivates Rachel to become someone better. Really, Rachel thanks because mamah has become the biggest pulley that lifts Rachel to keep improving.”

“Mah, Rachel is sad. But Rachel never hated mommy. Rachel loves you as well, just as Rachel loves your mother Eva. Rachel never wanted to be the ruler of that house. Mamah remains his queen and Rachel will be happy to be beside mamah.”

“Mah, many people who love mamah. Mas nata, Ivana, Brandon and me. If you want to survive, hold on. We will faithfully accompany you. But if you feel tired and want to rest, rest in peace.”

“Rachel doesn't hate mama. Rachel forgave all your mistakes. And one more thing, Rachel is pregnant with a great-granddaughter. The granddaughter who has been waiting for this year. Whatever the condition, he will love mamah and keep mamah well also mendo’ all the goodness to mamah.” said Rachel with a better feeling.

Yes, his feelings felt much better after he spoke like this.

In Martha's ear, this tape is back playing. Ivana saw tears dripping from the corner of Martha's eyes. His heart rate returned quickly, although not completely normal. But according to the medical view, Martha's condition showed improvement and there is a possibility that surgery can be done.

Is this a miracle?
