Mournfully

A week had already passed since Aura had a miscarriage. One week every day Rizky came home from work and saw Aura crying alone in her room.

“Assalamu’alaikum, Aura darling. Brother home.” Rizky said as soon as she opened the room door and entered.

Hearing Rizky's voice, the lightning-fast Aura wiped away the tears flowing down both of her cheeks.

“Wa’alaikumussalam. Alhamdulillah Abang has returned.” Sahut Aura's. He immediately approached Rizky and kissed the back of his right hand.

Rizky did not say, her eyes focused on Aura's eyes that looked swollen.

“Aura darling, crying again?” Rizky asked as she held onto Aura's cheek and felt that her cheek was still wet.

“No, Aura just flickering. Hehe.” Reply Aura while grinning.

“Hmm.” Rizky let out a heavy breath. “Oh yes, there is something missing in the car. Brother come down for a moment, Aura is here. Don't go anywhere.” And then he gave a reason.

Rizky wanted to go see her ART and did not want Aura to know about it.

“Good, Bang.” Sahut Aura while nodding her head slowly.

After putting down her briefcase, Rizky rushed down and went to the kitchen to meet her ART.

Arriving in the kitchen, he saw Bi Sumi who was tidying up the contents of the refrigerator.

“Bi, call Jihan and Chaca. I want to talk!” Rizky said firmly.

“Good, Young Master.” Sahut Bi Sumi's. He closes the refrigerator door and goes to find Jihan and Chaca.

Not long after, Bi Sumi returned with Jihan and Chaca.

“One week ago when we came home from the hospital, I told you not to leave Young Madam alone. Please help comfort him so that he does not feel lonely and not sad constantly. Have you forgotten?” Rizky asked with sharp eyes.

“Sorry, Young Master. Young Mistress who did not allow us to accompany her.” Answer Chaca.

“You should be able to find a reason to stay by his side!” Rizky said firmly.

“Didn't you two already be considered like sisters by Young Madam? Then do you have the heart to see your brother grieve like that?” Rizky asked a little.

“Force us, Young Master.” Bi Sumi.

Bi Sumi, Chaca and Jihan lowered their heads. Not daring to look at the face of Rizky who looks angry.

“I'm sorry if I was rude.” Rizky said, then he cupped his hands together on his chest. “But please help me so that Aura can be separated from all her injuries.” Continue and plead.

“Young Master don't be like that.” Said Bi Sumi, he ventured to step forward to approach Rizky and lower Rizky's hand. “We will definitely try to get close to Young Madam.” Bi Sumi.

“Iya, Young Master. Actually we also felt lost when Young Madam locked herself inside the room. We also feel homesick with Young Madam who is always carefree and cheerful.” Jihan Sahut.

“We promise, we will definitely strive to be close to Young Madam.” Chaca said.

“Good. Now you can continue your work.” Rizky.

“Good, Young Master.” Sahut Bi Sumi's. Jihan and Chaca together.

After that, Rizky went to see Ummi. Her tears will spill, she doesn't want Aura to know that Rizky is crying because of it. So he decided to go to Ummi's room and calm himself there.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck... Rizky knocked on Ummi's room door.

“Ummi. Rizky can come in, Mi?” Rizky asks Ummi for permission before entering Ummi's room.

“Bby, Son. Just log in.” Answer Ummi from within.

When Rizky entered the room, Ummi was seen sitting on the edge of his bed.

Rizky rested in front of Ummi, he put his head on Ummi's lap and cried.

“Ummi, hiks hiks.” Rizky said sobbing.

“What is this? Why crying?” Ask Ummi to be confused.

Ummi could not remember the last time he saw his son crying.

“Aura, Mi. Hiks.” Answer Rizky.

“Aura? Aura why?” Ask ummi.

“It's been a week since she had a miscarriage. During this week also Rizky always caught him crying alone in the room.” Answer Rizky. “Rizky's heart hurts to see her like that, Mi. But unfortunately Rizky always did not know what Rizky had to do to make her smile.” Further.

Ummi was silent, Ummi only responded by stroking Rizky's head very gently.

“Did Ibu Aura already know this?” Ask Ummi.

“Sounds not yet, Mi. At that time Aura said that she did not want to tell this to anyone, including her mother. She's not ready.” Answer Rizky.

Rizky wiped her tears and raised her head. He looked at Ummi's face.

“Ummi right. If Bu Ayu was here, Aura would definitely not be alone anymore.” Rizky sumringah. It was like finding a speck of hope.

“Iya. Ummi will also definitely help mendo’ Aura so that she can return cheerful like before again.” Say Ummi and smile.

Rizky returned Ummi's smile with a happy feeling. Suddenly his spirit was back full.

“Then Rizky asked Bi Sumi to clean the guest room first.” Rizky.

“Iya.” Ummi Sahut. “It's been a long time Ummi didn't see Rizky crying. If Ummi does not remember wrong, maybe the last time you cried while still Kindergarten. At that time Ummi forgot to bring your favorite drinking bottle, hehe. Didn't expect this for the first time Ummi saw you cry after adulthood, and you cried because of a woman.” Ummi continued with a small laugh.

“Ummi is wrong, Rizky is crying not because of a woman. But Rizky cries because Rizky's loved one is hurt. Not only Aura, if Ummi and Kak Agatha are injured too surely Rizky will cry.” Rizky answered seriously.

“Yes yes, Ummi understands. Yes already there go meet Bi Sumi.” Ummi.

“Iya, Mi. Thanks for the advice Ummi earlier.” Rizky.

“Iya. No need to thank Ummi, hehe.” Sahut Ummi with a cry.

Rizky came out of Ummi's room and immediately looked for Bi Sumi's whereabouts in the back.

“Bi Sumi, please clean the guest room.” Rizky said as he approached Bi Sumi in the back.

“Good, Young Master.” Sahut Bi Sumi's.

After that Rizky called his men and told him to pick up Bu Ayu. Rizky sent the full address of Ms. Aura's house to her men.

Then Rizky called Bu Ayu so that later Bu Ayu was not afraid when Rizky's men had arrived there.

Tutt's.. Tutt's.. Tutt's.. Connected calls.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” Mother Aura said from a distance.

“Wa’alaikumussalam. It's me Rizky, Bu.” Rizky.

“Owh, Nak Rizky.” Say Mother Aura.

“Iya, Mom. Mom, I want to say something, but please Mom don't be surprised and don't be angry.” Rizky.

“About what is it?” Ask Mother Aura.

“Actually it has been one week Aura had a miscarriage, Bu.” Rizky said slowly.

“Astaghfirullah!!” From his voice it sounded that Bu Ayu was very shocked. “Why just now tell Mom? Then how is Aura currently?” Asked Bu Ayu who was very worried about the state of her youngest daughter.

“I'm sorry, Mom. Aura was devastated by this incident, so she always felt she was not ready to tell Mom. But don't worry, Alhamdulillah Aura is healed. It's just...” Rizky's sentence was interrupted.

“What's it all?” Ask Bu Ayu who is impatient to hear the continuation of her daughter-in-law's story.

It feels like Rizky does not have the heart to convey about the state of Aura to her mother. Rizky could have guessed that Mother Aura would definitely be very sad if she found out about it.

“Only since then, Aura has lost her spirit. He was sad and crying every day. He was always alone and confined himself in his room.” Said Rizky ventured to tell Mother Aura.

“Astaghfirullah.” Aura's mother said softly. He feels very sad.

“Bu, I've told my men to pick up Mom. Would you like to stay at our house for a while?” Ask Rizky.

“In shaa Allah I want. I also want to accompany Aura there.” Answer Mother Aura.

“Alhamdulillah.” Rizky.

“Then Mother wants to finish Mother's clothes first before the one to pick Mom up. Assalamu’alaikum.” Said Ms. Ayu.

“Iya, Mom. Wa’alaikumussalam.” Rizky. His heart was relieved to have told his mother-in-law this.

After that he went upstairs and went into his room.

As Rizky walked into the room, Aura saw Rizky coming empty-handed.

“What stuff is missing, Bang?” Ask Aura.

“Oh, that, seems to miss in the office Abang.” Rizky answered, Reasoning.

“Oh so.” Aura nodded her head slowly.

Rizky went to Aura and hugged her. It had been a few minutes since Rizky had still not released Aura from her embrace.

“Abang why?” Aura asked as it was not usual for Rizky to hold her for so long.

“It's okay, Brother just wants to hug Aura and calm down.” Rizky whispered in Aura's ear.
