Love Lanterns
CHAPTER 49 ”Air Mata”

"People like him you want to forgive?"

Nathan's question with a high tone continues to be excited in the ears of Ayunda. "Am I wrong?" muttered.

Ayunda currently lives alone in Siska's mother's inpatient room. Nathan and Mr. Robert to the company meet Dariel, I don't know what they're going to discuss and what they're going to do, Ayunda doesn't care. He still felt tightness, his chest felt extremely pain as Nathan snapped at him. With no tears in her eyes, no one had ever touched her in her life, not even Papa Richad.

"Don't cry" Siska's mother's voice resuscitated Ayunda from her daydream.

"Mom is awake. What do you feel?" asked Ayunda, after wiping her tears.

"Ayunda get mom a drink, Mom wait a minute" said Ayunda, then take Mother Siska a drink that is on the nightstand.

Ayunda helped Siska's mother to sit down, then gave her the drink she had brought. "Thank you" said Ms. Siska as she handed the glass back to Ayunda.

Ayunda sat by Siska's mother's bedside, she grabbed Siska's hands and massaged her.

"No need to massage" refused Ms. Siska. "I'm sorry Nathan, he always does that when he's upset, no matter who the interlocutor is, he'll raise his voice. Nathan didn't mean to yell at you, surely now he's sorry after realizing it" explained Siska's mother, Nathan's nature long ago.

"Mom heard it?" asked Ayunda astonished, all she knew was that Siska's mother had just slept.

"Mom heard everything, I don't believe Luna will do this"

"Don't think too much about Luna. For what Mas Nathan said, it's okay, Yunda understood. Yunda was wrong too. Before this, Yunda asked Mas Nathan to forgive Luna" Ayunda replied.

"You are indeed a good child, even the one whose fault is so great you forgive" Siska's mother stroked Ayunda's hand near her hand.

"June had thought, since Luna was Mas Nathan's cousin and that Yunda knew, they were quite close"

"Yes, you're not wrong, they were very near childhood. But five or six years ago, Nathan and Luna were no longer in contact. I don't know what's going on between them either, which I know Nathan really doesn't want to see Luna" Siska's mother tries to explain to Ayunda what's going on.

"Mother is so grateful you're close to Nathan" Siska's mother now stroked Ayunda's head. "Is your head still sore and dizzy?" tanyakanya.

"After the operation is no longer dizzy, only the seams are still painful" replied Ayunda as it is.

"Mother was very sad when you were unconscious for a year, hearing you realize what a very happy news"

"Thank you Mom" Ayunda replied sincerely, she heard a lot of stories from Mama Mira that Siska's mother often visited her.

"Nathan is now back as Nathan was when I was a teenager" Siska's mother said, speaking again about Nathan.

"His life is back in color, the days it's been through seem very happy, and I'm sure it's because of you"

"Yunda didn't do anything Mom"

"You probably didn't, but your presence next to Nathan makes him happy again"

"Here she had a boyfriend, I don't know what made them part, but it looks like her boyfriend betrayed Nathan. From then on Nathan changed, and that changed after Nathan had nothing to do with Luna"

"Mother often sees her daydreaming, then smiles to herself. Mom thought that Nathan was a little crazy and asked El to take Nathan to see a psychologist" Siska recalled, while Ayunda just kept quiet and listened to what Siska's mother said.

"But El tells Mom that Nathan remembers a girl he doesn't know her name and face clearly, but Nathan misses the girl, and keeps waiting for her"

Siska's mother looked at Ayunda inside. "Are you that girl Nda?" tanyakanya.

Ayunda nodded slowly, justifying Mother Siska's question, and got a reply to the happy smile from the middle-aged woman.

The voice-familiar Ayunda turned to look, to make sure she was right. Ayunda again looked at Siska's mother, after knowing that the person who came was her past.

"It's better, especially accompanied by prospective daughters-in-law" replied Ms. Siska.

Ayunda was silent but she tried to smile. While Kevin, feeling his ears hot with his tantic speech, but he was trying to neutralize the heartbeat.

"I couldn't have thought that Luna could do this" Kevin said to cover up his feelings.

Ayunda moves to the couch, without saying goodbye to Kevin, giving Kevin a chance to talk to Siska's mother.

On the couch Ayunda checked his car, there was a message from Nathan and Alisa. A message from Nathan that he opened first. "Honey, sorry, I was talking high with you" Nathan wrote in a text message.

Ayunda did not intend to reply to a message from Nathan, he immediately switched to Alisa's message.just about to open Alisa's message, her phone reads Ayunda, see the name on her phone screen, Ayunda would not want to lift it.

"Assalamualaikum" Sapa Ayunda's.

"Vaalaikumsalam. What again? Is your mom awake?" ask Nathan.

"It has. Again there are those who visit" Ayunda replied honestly, but he forgot who was visiting and how to answer, if Nathan asked.

"Who?" Ayunda quietly did not answer, she had just thought about it and Nathan asked her.

Nathan turned his voice call into a video. Ayunda was getting tangent, but her hilt face instantly changed when she saw Mama Mira coming in. Ayunda pulled her mother onto the sofa.

"Mama Mas" Ayunda replied after receiving Nathan's video call. Ayunda shows Mama Mira's face to Nathan.

"You're on the road, you're going back to the hospital. Rara dear what food to bring?" ask Nathan.

"No need Mas, Mama brought a lot of food here" pointed Ayunda at the food brought Mama Mira, by directing the camera. But he remembered for a moment, there was Kevin. Ayunda had to buy Nathan time to get there even longer, but it's useless, Nathan will definitely know from Siska's mother. Finally Ayunda gave up, she had to face reality.

"Why should you be afraid?" his inner. He did nothing wrong, so there was no need to be afraid.

"It's okay to want something" Nathan said.

Ayunda shook her head, this is a lot, it will be redundant if not eaten" Ayunda replied.

Nathan smiled and ended his call. Ayunda can breathe a sigh of relief, if Nathan and Kevin meet, let it go. It's not her fault and it's not her problem.

Mama Mira took a meal for Siska's mother, then approached her. Seeing Mama Mira coming, Kevin moved away and walked to the sofa where Ayunda was.

Seeing Kevin walking towards her, making Ayunda immediately stand up and follow Mama Mira who approached Siska's mother.

"Yunda bribe ya Bu" said Ayunda then grabbed the plate in Mama Mira's hand.

"Mother can be alone" said Ms. Siska who did not want to trouble Ayunda.

"Yunda wants Ma" said Ayunda.

Kevin can only see, without being able to do much. Ayunda did not give him a chance to talk.
