BECOMING HONEY'S SISTER
HOMECOMING

"Mas, sorry. I still want to go home." I said, to Ilham. When I came to take Ayu to the hospital the next day. There were some considerations that made me change my mind so I decided I should fly right now. One of them is because Yumna's health deteriorated after I told her that I was not leaving.

"But Mil, you know how Ayu is doing now. Until now he has not been conscious. It's been over twenty-four hours" said Ilham. "You can wait a little while. Don't let the devil do it. If Ayu's better, I promise."

"Yes, I understand. But I can go home by myself. Later, arriving at the airport Padang also Dad will pick up."

"Why can't you wait, Mil. At least until Ayu's condition improves. After all, you are pregnant young, what are the dangers of flying alone. If there's anything, how about?"

It is difficult to explain to Ilham how the current condition of Yumna. The boy was really disappointed. He even locked himself in his room. That change in Yumna's attitude worried me. I don't want him to think that his mother really doesn't care about him anymore.

After all, if you have to wait mbak Ayu healthy. I am also not sure whether Ayu will still let me and Ilham go both to my village. There is something that is unknown to Ilham. That's about his wife who actually just played a show accepting me. With this incident, it made me even more confident that he could do anything to block my steps.

"Sorry, I'm going home!" I said, firmly. "Right now my daughter really needs me."

"As far as you. If you don't want to be told. But remember Mil, I won't pick you up!" lilham did not want to lose.

"I'm sorry mas," I tried to shake his hand to ask permission, but Ilham dodged. "I'm leaving ya mas."

After saying goodbye to Ilham, I immediately returned home to pick up my belongings, before leaving for the airport. Fortunately there was Farid, he helped me to postpone the departure so that the ticket did not get charred. To return home, I can also use the money given by Mbak Ayu which he always gives every month.

"Mom sure you want to go alone?" ask Mbok Asih, when will deliver me to the front.

"There's no other choice, ma'am. I have to meet Yumna, she really hopes I go home, my mother also reported her health condition decreased. The boy is overworked, I don't want him to bear his own grief." I said.

"But you haven't given permission, ma'am. What if you're really serious about not picking up mom? Especially when I'm pregnant."

"It's okay, Mbok. I was prepared for all the risks I had to face." I said.

This departure really starts with a dilemma. But I've made a decision, I won't change it. Even if the challenge is the Inspiration. He doesn't look Ridha. I should have obeyed him, but there was something Ilham did not know, which I myself could not tell because I did not want to be the cause of the household rift with mbak Ayu. If he should know, let him go the other way, not because of me.

***

The aircraft with the blue symbol had just landed at Minangkabau international airport. I looked out the window. This is the second time on a plane, it feels like the heart is still anxious when flying in the air.

Finally arrived. I smiled happily, impatiently coming down. Dad told me he was waiting in front, while I still had to queue to pick up the bag in the trunk.

The black butut bag was finally in my hand. While walking quickly, I headed to the place where my father had been waiting with one of my nephews.

"Where is yumna, dad? Not coming?" my question, while looking left right, is looking for his figure. But there's no.

"Don't come." Dad just answered short, taking my bag. "Your husband's not coming, Mil?"

"You guys okay?" ask me, as you walk into the parking lot. To pick me up, my father had rented our neighbor's car to make our trip comfortable. "You're pregnant, you shouldn't be flying alone. If there's anything how?"

"That's okay nothing happened, right Dad? Lagian mas Ilham has a reason. He couldn't have left Ayu's mother." I said.

"Mila .. was he fair to you and his first wife? I mean dad like this, you guys are soon to have a child, does he give the same rights? Then, how long are you going to stay on one roof like that?"

"Well, Inspiration is a good man. He can be fair. For residence, actually Ilham mas has prepared for Mila. So you don't have to worry." I tried to calm Dad down.

The distance from the airport to the house feels increasingly distant because of longing for Yumna. Along the way, I kept sending Yumna voice messages, but she wouldn't answer. Said the mother who was beside Yumna, the boy could not believe that I was on the way to our hut, he thought it was just a lie so that Yumna would talk to me.

Until in front of the house.not perfect car stop, I've jumped down so much miss him on Yumna.

"Yumna ... Yusuf ... Yumna!" call me, while going through the room, neat still not there

"You've come home, Mil?":uni Siti welcomed

my.

"Where is yumna, Ni?" my question, impatient.

"So, it was to the tomb."

*clothing?"

"Say he misses his ashes."

"Go with who? Isn't Yumna sick?"

"Yes Mil, there's a mother ...."

Not finished Uni Siti spoke, I went straight to the tomb. Waiting for him at home will only make me more tortured to hold back the longing. Quickly I walked towards the cemetery belonging to the waqf land.

Sure enough, at the door of the tomb, not far from there, I saw Yumna sitting in front of her father's belly button. Not far from her was a mother sitting there waiting.

"Bi ... Na kangen Umi, but Umi seems to have forgotten the same Na. Umi will not come back again because now Umi already has a new family. Soon Umi will have a baby sister, Umi will love baby sister more than Umi love Na" said my little girl. His hand rubbed his father's headstone.

"Who said Umi didn't love you, Na?" I said, as the road approached.

"Eye?" Yumna turned around, she was shocked to find me here. Then Yumna jumped in my lap. "Umi .. This is Umi, right? Na really misses umi!" we both miss.
