FATE AND DESTINY
50.THANKSGIVING

When Alika woke up she was still sleeping in her room. Alika woke up because of her crying baby and finally alika was forced to wake up with a head that was dizzy and slightly swollen in her eyes because of crying all night. When alika came out of her room she was already welcomed the arrival of Rodiyah and her troops including fahri. Alika instead welcomed the arrival of those who had sat in the guest room instead silenced her and went inside to bathe her baby. They came without knocking on the door of the house and just entered because the door was not locked. Alika gets here more and more hate them for entering people's house carelessly and have no manners. Somehow alika increasingly hates fahri, alika himself does not know.

Alika bathes her child affectionately and painstakingly occasionally inviting her to talk and joke. Alika is like having a living doll that can always be talked to at all times. Alika experiences baby blues so sometimes she gets angry at her baby and sometimes she is also gentle on her child. Either what he is experiencing at this time may be because of too many problems or because of the people he cares about and he hopes to have gone slowly from alika's life.

"Beautiful boy.. Whose son is this? Mama's son?" Alika talked to her own son to talk while throwing telon oil on his son's body and putting his clothes on.

Alika playing with her son makes her a little dispel her emotions in those who already do not want to care about alika.

It did not feel 40 days alika gave birth to her child and her plan was to give thanks but alika had no cost. Finally, she will help alika to give thanks for giving her son a name.

"Alika! What do you want her Thanksgiving to be like? Let mama take care of everything!" Said ema who was in Alika's room.

"No need! Take care of your mom's college guy. Don't take care of me! I'll give him a name without having to be thankful!" Ketus alika still carrying her child.

"Cok that you? Mama's doing this all including that study for your sake!" Said ema again provoked emotion with alika speech that has changed silenced her mother during the arrival of fahri.

"Mama always ladenin them without thinking about alika's condition! Means mama's doing it all for mama's own sake. To comfort the lonely heart of my mother. Including mama's relationship with fahri! Mama thinks alika is a stupid child who does not know what relationship you have with fahri hah?! Alika knows mah! Mama no longer need to pay attention to Alika! Watch your mom's favorite brondong!" Pekik alika could not stand his emotions because alika was always left alone every day.

"You are why! You don't like it when you're in a relationship with Fahri?! He's a good boy, Alika! Naturally dong mama welcomes her heart that loves mama!" Sahut ema who has begun to be upset with alika's words.

"Are you not ashamed to have a lover who is younger than Alika? Where's your mom's brain all this time? Mama is in a relationship with a man who should be her son. Not my mom's boyfriend!" Annoyed, she kept asking ema to argue.

"Stop alika! You have no right to regulate what you have to live with!" Pekik ema pointed her hand in front of alika's face.

"If you don't care anymore what you have to do with your mom! Alika shy, alika disappointed with mom!" Add alika again and turn your back on Ema who is still standing in front of her.

Ema who was upset came out of the alika room and returned to control her irregular breathing and then returned to meet her study entourage with her big smile as if there was no problem she was experiencing now. Alika has never been out of the house since she had a baby. Alika is a little bored and bored because she is always in her room without interacting with anyone. Those who come to meet alika in her room were not warmly welcomed by alika actually get the attitude of jutek alika who finally they who enter the room alika back out of her room.

"Mom! Alika why? Why is the end of this he so juteknya! And when I asked him to talk he was silent as if he hadn't heard anyone talking to him!" Said Rodiyah who wanted to see alika's child because of the rodiyah who accompanied alika during childbirth in the hospital.

"I don't know why either! He also silenced me without telling me what the problem was! I'm also confused to face her attitude now!" Answer ema with a face that turns sad.

"Prophe mbak! Maybe Alika is stressed because of her circumstances that have children without her husband!" Rodiyah said again rubbing ema's back gently.

Ema and alika now continue to fight because alika who is experiencing baby blues sometimes angry sometimes also soft. Alika had symptoms of depression since marriage with tajudin but alika did not realize it and did not control herself in the hospital because of the cost factor that finally now she can not do anything.

Now the day has changed night. Ema continued to try to persuade alika to give thanks to give her son a name. Ema approached alika in her room to convey her point.

"Alika!" Call ema while opening the door to Alika's room.

Alika did not answer him just glanced at him and put his son back to sleep.

"alika's.. How have you changed your mind, son?" Tanya ema rubbed the head of alika who sat on the floor on the edge of her bed to put her son to sleep and sang her.

"Why you, baby? Honest with mom, what's your fault for making you like this?" Asked ema with her soft tone rubbing onto alika's shoulder.

"I'm not pa pa pa! I want to be alone! Don't bother me mah!" alika replied coldly and flatly without looking at ema.

"Yaa. Mom will have her thanks tomorrow! You don't want to want to!" Say it with great emphasis.

Alika again did not answer ema's words until she came out of alika's room. Ema doesn't know where her fault lies. And alika somehow hates her mama who now because it is more concerned with guests and her entourage than alika who needs her more. Alika is tired of all her so choose to be silent not to say anything to anyone who wants to talk to her.

***

The next day she gave thanks and made porridge to share with her neighbors and entourage to name her granddaughter. Ema went back into the room and asked if she had prepared a name for her son or not.

"Alika! Have you prepared a good name for your son?" Tanya ema tried to stay soft on alika.

"It's over!" Answer alika flatly without looking at ema the mother.

"What will you give his name? Can you tell?" Tanya ema persuaded alika gently because she knew alika was not okay.

"Syifa Ashilla Rahma!" Alika answered still with her flat face without looking at ema.

"She's a pretty name? Do you know the meaning of your son's name?" Tanya ema still trying to invite alika to chat.

"Look!" Alika again.

"Yaa have you printed your son's name first? To be shared with neighbors and relatives! Mama came out first wanting to continue making her porridge!" Said ema again trying to hold back her regret.

Alika was still cold not paying attention to what she wanted to talk to him. Alika is still disappointed with her mother who impressed her duaakan. Alika also did not know why she had become like this. Alika gave her son's name in accordance with what is natural today. Alika knows the meaning of her son's name.

***

*Shifa means antidote

*Ashilla which means soft weak

*Rahma means Grace and loyalty

If put together in its entirety then it means: The meek child with full blessing and fidelity as an antidote for the parent who gave birth to her.
