"You sleep in Lala's room only" Mila said as her sister invited her to sleep together.
"Silver remember the last time we slept together when Grandma Seruni dropped, in a cramped room we tried to be on standby afraid of grandma why-why,"
"Yes, Sarah. That's us still on singles. Now we have a family except for Lala,"
"Sister Mila will be pregnant, so if there will be anything we are on standby. Yeah, it's onty, "Sarah's stroking Mila's belly a little.
"Sarah, you're not a program. Not my sister wants to be julid. Only if we have children who do not age difference exciting, can rame this house if you gather children," Mila imagine her house will be exciting if many children.
"Yes want my brother, but Sarah still wants to focus on college first, if the matter of children bang Anjas also does not demand, really,"
"But it seems like the type of Bu Melani demands her ex quickly love grandchildren. I think I've seen on television that the ex doesn't love grandchildren, his son is asked to marry again. Uh, married again and now both are pregnant, the first wife is dumped," Mila and Sarah exchanged looks. Lala can compare herself with the story of soap operas.
"Well, La. If the brother in that position will not let bang Anjas marry again. Especially with Mama Melani, I will make her not much behavior," said Sarah furious.
"But Miss Melani treated you well, right?" ask Mila.
"Well, sister," answered Sarah steadily.
"Sure, brother," Lala replied.
Sarah tried to code her sister so as not to be flippant. As long as Bu Melani's attitude can still be overcome. Sarah doesn't have to complain to her family. This is a home that must be faced by itself.
Ever since she was brought home to her mother-in-law's house. Sarah is determined to improve. It's not easy indeed, let alone Bu Melani still consider him an enemy. Sarah was still looking for a tactic to melt her in-laws' hearts. Trying to be smart is not the right solution. Trying to be soft has not been successful either. Like some say people are patient in the love of God.
"La, sister asks you not to tell me anything about Mama Melani" whispered Sarah.
"Why? I cried when Melani praised another woman" Lala whispered.
"Just shut up, it's brother's business, anyway" Lala nodded small.
"Sarah's sister accompanied Mila first. Lala wanted to grab the ambal in the room," Lala stood up leaving Mila's room. Not how long he had entered again carrying an ambal patterned Spiderman.
"This is you who bought it, La. What is Spiderman's motive? as far as you know your brother likes Doraemon,"
"This is my father from Lampung, brother. He said in the mess where Anjas's brother already has a mattress,"
"Why don't we just sleep upstairs with Mila's sister?" ask Sarah.
"Ish, this brother. Mila's sister is pregnant she needs a large place to rest" Lala said.
"Well, how smart are you, deck, '" Sarah pinched Lala's nose.
"Well, yes dong. Who used to be Sahila is looo..." Mila just laughed a little at the excitement of her sisters.
"Have you rested, it's night. Isn't Lala going to school tomorrow, and Sarah's going to college,"
"We're off until the 3rd" replied Lala.
"At least tomorrow we have to sahur, right. You rest so that we wake up fit," said Mila.
It wasn't long before Sarah and Lala had flown into dreamland. Mila looked at her two sisters in turn. A smile expands on her sweet lips. It didn't feel like her sisters were growing up. Sarah is married and Lala is in her teens.
Mila came out of the room because she was not sleepy. The net switched on the photo in the living room nightstand. Photo in black and white, with wavy hair version of the past. On the face it looks smiling as if there is sincerity in the woman in the photo.
That is the mother of Aminah, the woman who raised without distinction where the biological child and stepson. If from the story he got, his status is indeed a stepson. Because Dahlia's mother was not Seruni's grandmother's biological child.
Mom, how are you?
Mila kangen same mother, same nature and patience mother.
Mom, now Mila knows who my real parents are. But somehow the love of Dahlia's mother and Aminah's mother was very different.
But I can't replace my mother's love with mine. Maybe I'm the one who's not used to Dahlia's mom.
Look up there, Lala's a teenager.
Little girl who often whines with mom.
I remember when Lala and I were grabbing a room with mom. Even then we even slept three in one bed. Funny thing is Lala wants to sleep in the middle so she can hug you.
Now he's grown up, 14 years old. It's not Lala who likes to whine anymore. Lala didn't come home from school crying if someone broke her stuff.
Mila wiped her tears. He really missed Aminah's mother. The best mother of her life, the mother who never got angry or rude to her child.
Mila felt her phone shake, she ran into the room. It was her husband who called her.
"Assalamualaikum, dear," said the baritone from the other end.
"Assynriding, Uda. How's dad doing?"
"Still like that, there has been no improvement. You haven't slept, it's night, Lo."
"Not sleepy yet" replied Mila.
"Tok the same, you fool!" the laughing voice of Danu was able to comfort his heart.
"Remember not in forsir. Uda also has to take care of health,"
"Let's calm there's Anjas and Rudi accompanying. You can change, at least I can sleep well when I hear your voice," Mila's face reddened just because of her husband's words.
"Have heard my voice, now rest first. Take care of your health baby, if you are strong it has become the spirit of me and our children,"
"Coolly, if the speech in front of the eyes is certain, ..."
"Remember this is still Ramadan," Mila cut off her husband's remarks.
"Well, you remember Ramadan. Bu Nurmala called, he invited us to open together for the end of Ramadan" Danu said.
"If you're gone, I'll be there, for sure,"
"Sama Wisnu ngabarin if Ammar is ready to perform spinal cord donor surgery,"
"Well, there's a lot of reports like that" once called a lot that was reported to her husband.
At the hospital, Danu just finished calling his wife. Just letting go of his wife's longing. Her footsteps slowly walked towards her father-in-law's ward. Not far from his position the sound of an ambulance entering the hospital courtyard. Some hospital staff ran while carrying a gurney. Not only that one of the doctors joined the medics.
"Sorry, what's wrong?" ask the other health care worker.
"That's one of the city officials, he said drop due to cancer,"
The cancer? this month he had forgotten that he had included cancer patients. So many things make him grateful to be surrounded by people who love him.
Instead, thinking about death gives the impression that life is something to be grateful for. Danu at least knew that time was coming. Seeing the readiness of his mother in supporting treatment. He has two mothers who love him, ah yes do not forget he has a mother-in-law who loves him. He had a wife who always gave him encouragement.
Because, like the fact of death that will surely be felt by everyone, this precious life will one day be finished and closed with death. Therefore, thinking about death is important so that we can give more meaning to the life we live today.
Danu's footsteps stopped when the medicine was read by Rudi. He quickly took the medicine and put it in his bag.
"That's the same as the medicine I used. In the past, I was often told to go back and forth to the hospital pharmacy for leukemia.
Is Danu's brother also leukaemic?"
