After thinking hard enough, in the afternoon Alex took Arkana to Sherin's grave with her accompanied by Smith's great mistress. At first they had a chance to argue because of the state of Arkana fever. But because Arkana who did not also calm down, they finally agreed.
“Mamah.. Appah !! Mam mam mah.” Arkana squealed in excitement as soon as it arrived right in front of Sherin's grave. The toddler even cheered in Alex's arms.
It made Alex also the great mistress of Smith dumbfounded. How could Arkana know right away that it was the tomb of his late mother, Sherin.
“Alex this..” Big madam Smith could not say what now. The woman was truly touched by what she witnessed.
While Alex, he smiled at his son who was so excited. While on the way, Arkana continued to cry and call mamah. But now, the toddler was very cheerful and happy just from seeing Sherin's grave.
“Papah.. Pah tuh.. Tuuuu..” Arkana points to Sherin's grave as if asking to be removed from Alex's sling.
Alex who understood the intention of his son just obeyed what Arkana wanted. Alex slowly lowered the body of an Arkana padlock right in front of Sherin's grave.
Arkana who had begun to learn to step his feet slowly approached himself on Sherin's tomb. Arkana again screamed happily once she managed to grab Sherin's headstone so unknowingly Alex shed tears of her scent. Arkana knows without having to be told first that the navel in front of him is the final resting place of his late mother.
“Bah.. Sump.. Mam mam mah.”
The screams of Arkana playing beside Sherin's grave made Alex and Smith's great mistress unable to resist the clear droplets from her two eyes that so profusely dripped down. What's more, when he saw the toddler kissing and hugging Sherin's headstone, it felt like the heart of big madam Smith was blown to pieces. Arkana, an innocent toddler must lose his mother without being able to feel Sherin's tender loving caress first once it is born into the world.
That afternoon Alex and Smith just stood there watching something that if you think logically is impossible.
“Ya Lord..” Inner great madam Smith felt bitter.
As for Alex, at her residence her memory of her abusive treatment of Sherin so vividly overshadowed her. Alex also heard his own words telling Sherin to abort her because Alex was very angry when Sherin told her about her pregnancy to the Smith family. Alex also recalls the efforts he made by persecuting Sherin in order for Sherin to change her mind and undo the intention to marry her.
Alex gulps. The memories kept turning back and forth as if they were reminding Alex how cruel she was to Sherin.
Alex closed both of his eyes. If only Sherin had followed her will by aborting her content, at this time there would have been no cute and adorable figure of Arkana in her life. And Alex can't imagine what it would be like if he didn't have Arkana right now.
“Why? Why does it all have to hurt now?” Alex asked himself.
Alex can't deny that his heart feels sliced given what he did to Sherin. Although until now Alex has not felt regret for his actions in the past to Sherin.
“Pah pah.”
Alex smiled then immediately crouched down in front of Arkana, a smile he carved for his son whose condition immediately seemed to improve once brought to Sherin's grave.
“Ya nak.” Alex stared intently at his son.
“Mam mam mah pah pah.. Mam mam mah.” Arkana Celoteh.
Alex laughed softly. At the age of almost 11 months was already good at learning to walk also often chattering very adorable. That's what sometimes also becomes a separate entertainment for Alex at night so tired he felt.
“Arka happy?” Alex asked with a smile that adorned her thin lips.
“Yak.” Think Arkana's funny.
“Jagoan papah is great. Heals quickly well.. Papah papah promise will often take Arka to mamah.. Okay?”
“Te pah pah..” Arka seemed to understand what Alex was saying to her.
The great madam Smith was rightly extremely astonished by the sight before her. Arkana was instantly healed and looked very happy after playing alone in front of Sherin's grave.
About an hour at Sherin's grave, Alex invited his son and mother to return to the hospital because Arkana still had to get treatment. What's more before they go the doctor has also ordered Arkana immediately brought back to the hospital after the affairs of Alex and the big lady Smith is finished.
On the way back to the hospital, Arkana falls asleep in the arms of Smith's great mistress. The toddler was really calm immediately after the pilgrimage to Sherin's tomb. The fever was no longer as high as it was this morning.
“God is really showing us that the services of a mother cannot be denied for any reason. Even though a mother is not a good woman either.” Said the great madam Smith.
Alex just glanced at his mama who was sitting next to his wheel. The man was lazy actually if he had to go back to hearing his mother's defense of the late wife who he never loved.
“Even Arkana knows who his mother is without us having to tell. It seems like the bond between Arkana and Sherin is very close. Well.. Even now Sherin's figure is no longer around us. But seeing Arkana who was so happy playing beside his grave earlier made mamah sure, that actually Sherin was around Arkana. And it's only Arkana who can feel her.” Continue the great madam Smith while gently stroking the cheeks of chuby his favorite grandson.
“Already mah.. No need to discuss the unimportant. Sherin is dead. Maybe what happened today was just a coincidence. Dead people will never be around us.”
The big madam Smith could only sigh at the utterance of not caring about Alex. That woman really doesn't know how her son thinks. Alex is too stubborn. Even to regret what he had done, Alex felt pride in himself.
“Mamah sure you feel what Alex feels too. It's just that you don't want to admit it.” Inner great mistress Smith was convinced.
