HIS EX-LOVER MADE ME FRET
36. Heartiest
*Eric almost hit the body of his father who was standing right in front of the bedroom door and without a word he took his hand to the bed of his mother.
Seeing the arrival of her husband, Elma's mother's tears flowed profusely. I don't know what he's feeling now. The assumption so far that her husband must have been a tramp but who was in plain sight at this time was a fresh and well-groomed middle-aged lung man.
"I'm sorry, Mom!" said Mr. Hendrik while resting under the floor. He grabbed his wife's skinny hand and clasped it tightly.
Elma's mother's tears are growing. Her hands clasped her husband's hands while nodding her head. Now she realized after contemplating the course of her life that the betrayal of her husband was the result of her own sins against Eric and Anna.
"I'm the one who apologizes, Mas. Please forgive me!" elma's mother said after her tears began to subside.
Eric and Erika were very moved to witness the event and the moment did not escape the video recording on Erika's phone and sent it also to Esty, her brother who is in Papua.
Erika is sure that her brother will also feel happy and relieved if he knows that his parents are better.
Eric invites his sister to go out and leave his father and mother alone in the room. Eric sat on the long bench outside and reached into his pocket to pick up his phone.
He was shocked to see six missed calls from an unknown number. "Gosh, this must be a call from the father-in-law," he murmured inwardly.
Eric made a re-call to the number but up to three consecutive calls, still no response made Eric so desperate. He thought, maybe his father-in-law was disappointed because the call was not taken so it was his turn to get a call back, he also did the same.
"Son, I'm calling you!" exclaim Mr. Hendrik who appeared behind the door of the room.
Eric stood up and went into the room following his father. Seemed the face of his mother who had begun to bright even though the body still looks weak.
"What's up, Mom?" eric asked as he approached his mother's bed.
"Please pick up your wife and child now!" pinta Elma's.
Eric was silent at his mother's words.
"Come on, I want to apologize to him!" elma's mother said again expectantly.
"Yes ma'am, but it's almost afternoon. Tomorrow morning I will leave for B, hopefully Anna and Felyn will forgive us and be willing to reunite with our families" Eric said hesitantly.
"Don't despair, son, we should try first and fight for the good of you and your little family even for the wholeness of our great family!" mr. Hendrik said encouraging his son.
"Thank you for the support, sir!" eric Sahut.
Mr. Hendrik and Elma's mother smiled at Eric. There is a sense of happiness felt by Mr. Hendrik seeing his wife who can already smile.
"Tok, tok, tok!" the sound of the door being knocked by someone.
Eric rushes open and Erika appears at the door carrying food. His father sent him to the shop to get food.
"How's it going at the stall, son?" ask Hendrik.
"Very crowded Dad, Mr. Darman asked me to serve the buyers because he felt very overwhelmed with the number of visitors" replied Erika.
He obeyed when Erika was about to bribe him before eating the medicine according to the advice of the doctor. Just a few bribes, Erika was forced to stop because her mother regurgitated what she had swallowed.
The nurse immediately came to check on Elma's mother after being called by Eric.
"Mother should not be given food in large portions. Little by little but often !" said the nurse while changing the infusion fluid because it was almost exhausted on the first bottle installed earlier.
"All right," said Erika.
Shortly after taking the medicine, Elma's mother fell asleep. Maybe because of the influence of drugs so that he can fall asleep soundly.
Towards the magrib sir Hendrik and Eric went home to bathe because they would take turns to look after the patient.

This morning Felyn's face looked sullen because it was a farewell day at school but what she was waiting for did not appear when a few days ago she was very happy to hear that opa would try so that her father could come to attend a farewell event at school.
Anna also seemed busy since waking up this morning. She put traditional clothes on her little child's body and then polished her face with simple makeup.
Felyn was already beautiful with her custom clothes and powdery finish but her face was pouting. There was no smile there and his gaze was flat. Anna's heart was very sad to see her son who was not struggling but would do anything else.
Last night he had a desire to contact Eric after he recorded his mobile number sent by Susi but his father strictly forbade because he was already disappointed when some of his calls were not published by Eric.
"Prepare An, I'm ready!"
Anna was stunned from her daydream. He could not imagine how Felyn would feel at school if he saw his friends coming accompanied by his father and mother.
"Buruan dong, we'll be late!" exclaimed Mr. Nico with a slightly loud tone because he saw Anna who was less excited.
"Oh, yes," said Anna. He went into the room and changed his clothes because he had taken a shower this morning.
Anna looked graceful wearing a semi-coat stellan. It is similar to a woman who works in an office. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she smiled and came out to find her father and Felyn who were waiting on the porch.
"Smile dong, honey! Grandson Oma can't frown, her beautiful memories are gone!" said Nadia's mother who came to them.
Felyn cuek with his omana speech, even he seems not to hear it.
"Look, Opa was already handsome and excited because he wanted to bring his most beautiful grandson!" nadia's mother said again.
"I'd like to be delivered to my father, not Opa!" felyn exclaimed loudly with emotion. Her eyes had already started to tear up making Anna oma, opa and Anna panic.
"Well, let's go now!" take Mr. Nico and hurry to get the bike out.
"We'll go first, Mom!" Anna said goodbye to her mother. He took his son's hand and approached his father who was ready with his vehicle.
"Be careful on the road!" said Nadia's mother.
