Love for Adita
Love For Adita 25

" Don't be sad.. Anaya is safe in my mom's hands. Just focus on taking care of Mom. May my mother recover quickly, yes. Let's take care of Anaya again."

Mom and Dad are home, Tristan and I are sitting on the couch.

" About where did that bastard run, Dit?"

" I don't know, I'm sorry I took that bastard out of the cell."

" I'm sorry. I'm guilty of this." Tristan said with regret.

" Last night, when I left my mom, I didn't feel good, Tan. I don't know why this morning the intention to meet mami was so strong. If I hadn't come.I don't know what would've happened to Mom..."

***

My mom has been hospitalized for a week. Thank God, my mother's condition is getting better.

" Dita, how's Anaya doing? Mommy misses."

" Anaya well, mi. Care of Tristan's mother. Mommy focus on healing first, yeah."

" When can you go home, Dit?" Mom asked restlessly.

" Tristan is seeing a doctor, mi. Hopefully Tristan will bring us some good news."

Not long after, Tristan entered the nursery with a cheerful face.

" Such a smile on his face, Tan?"

" Yes dong.today mami you can go home. Administration is done in order. We get ready, while waiting for the medicine. We control it another week, aunt."

" Thank you, Tristan boy. If there's no you. aunt doesn't know Aunt's fate now." Mom's talk.

I who was used to it suddenly felt jealous to see my mother looking friendly towards Tristan.

Is this how I feel.. or..mami is getting interested in Tristan?

" Ahem..." I purposely shook my throat, Tristan labgsung threw his gaze at me.

" Are you interested in mom?"

Tristan gawked at my blunt remarks like there was no brake.

" If you want to, take it." I said while arranging the belongings of my mother.

" Adita's..You may have been disappointed in Mom. But.please don't bring up that problem again." Mami said sadly.

" Adita didn't forget that, mi. I will never forget."

" Of..!" Snatch Tristan at me.

" why? Now more dare to snap at me? Because mami?"

Tristan squeezed his black hair. " I don't know your way of mind." Tristan is really mad at me.

" Good afternoon..." Suddenly, Mama and Anaya arrived.

We no one's telling. All quiet. The atmosphere of this room is silent like a grave.

" Loh, what's the problem?"ask mama curious.

Mommy starts to get excited. To make my mom come closer.

" What's wrong, ma'am?" Ask mommy.

" Adita, ma. has always been suspicious of her own mother." Tristan's brother to his mother.

Mama gave Anaya to mami.

" I'm sorry, but I don't want to defend Adita. Adita becomes a person who no longer believes in anyone. It's all because Adita was hurt. Tristan, if you want to marry Adita, try to understand her. He's been hurt, Tristan. And for mama it is not easy to be at peace with yourself. Mama understands that. It is your duty, Tristan, to trust Adita, that you are a good man who will love Adita until the end of life. Not even cornering adita, Tristan."

I was so moved by my mother's understanding, so understanding of what I was going through.

" Oh yeah, can I go home?"

Mami simply nodded, perhaps ashamed of the wise woman before her now. Compared to my mom, my mom is nothing.

" All right, that means you're going home to Adita's, right?" Ask my mom again.

" Sa-I just go home rented."

I'm emotional hearing mommy's words.

" Patience Adita." Mama rubbed my shoulders gently.

" Ma, I've been working hard to take care of my mom here until she recovers. Then my mom easily wanted to go back to that house. Didn't Mom think about Anaya? Mami selfish mi. If there is no Anaya, please stay at the house. Then if mommy dies in the bastard's ass, who's gonna take care of Anaya? Me? I can't, mi. Anaya's face was too similar to that dress. If you don't want to fight for me, at least for Anaya. Mami's baby with that bastard." My words explode. It's a good thing it's a VIP room, so no one's heard our debate.

" Mr. stay a few days at Adita's house. At least until you feel completely healthy. How can I take care of Anaya if it's still like this?" My mom tried to help me give advice.

" Sir.I'm ashamed if hariis trouble Adita." Mami's voice sobbed.

" Nobody is troublesome. What else sliced his own mother." Mama said again.

" What kind of mother am I, ma'am? Tega stuck a wound in my own daughter's heart?" Looks like mom started to regret what she did all this time.

" It's all the past, ma'am. Now we look to the future. It's time to embrace the princess, ma'am. I'm sure Adita must have missed her mother." Mama's advice.

" Dita, let's hug mami. Kiss hand. It's time for you to put your friendship back together. Remember adita! No ex-mom, no ex-child. Until death, this is your mother. It's never gonna change, baby. Try to be at peace with yourself and be at peace with your past. Open your heart to another man. All men are not evil, Adita. Black is not always black. So is white.

I hugged my thin and wrinkled body. So many bruises behind his shirt. Is God's karma going? I do not know Wallahu a'lam, only Allah is all-knowing.

***

The night was late, Anaya's cry was heard from the papi's room in the mami.

I entered papi's room.

Looks mami is trying to persuade Anaya who is fussy. Sometimes the face of the mother holds the pain, maybe the wound still feels pain.

" Anaya's sick, mi?"

" Uh.. Adita's. Mommy doesn't know why it's so fussy."

" Have you been drinking milk?"

Mami was silent, her face turned bitter.

I saw that some of Anaya's neatly lined up pacifiers were clean, but they looked empty.

" Mi.. has Anaya been drinking milk?" I asked again to break the mami's daydream.

" Su-had." My mom answered nervously.

Out of curiosity and disbelief in my mother's words, I finally opened the milk wrap on the table.

The milk bag was light. I opened it, it was empty.

" The milk's over? It's worth Anaya fussing. Why not tell me the same, mi? It's mercy Anaya."

" Mommy's shy, Dit."

I just shook my head to see Mom. The next moment I left my mother.

I wear a jacket and helmet. I'm going to the nearest supermarket to buy Anaya's milk.

" Dit, where are you going?"

" Buy milk, mi. Anaya won't calm down before drinking milk."

" The Dangers of Adita. It could be out there Dani's lurking."

Instantly I fell silent. What mom said there was a point. Dani may not have hurt me, but Mami was the target.

" Don't come out..." Pinta mami.

" But mi..."

" Do you have sugar?" Ask mami.

" For what?"

" We try to use sugar, hopefully Anaya will and can sleep."

She went to the kitchen to make sugar. While I tried to get Anaya to talk so as not to cry.

Not long ago mami appeared with a pacifier filled with sugar water.

" Bismilbornrahmanirrahim..." Mami gave the pacifier filled with sugar to Anaya.but Anaya refused it. Even now the mulit is closed. Anaya doesn't like that sugar water.

I sat in the living room. Necklaces. Anaya's whining was still heard. That boy must be thirsty now. What can I do for my stepbrother?
