Love of the Substitute Mother
Love Mother Substitute 15

That afternoon, Mr. Sofyan's funeral went well. Many mourners ranging from business colleagues, friends, family and even neighbors who helped send Mr. Sofyan to his final resting place. Sobs dyed the funeral that afternoon. Wailing was still heard as a cleric recited a prayer over Mr. Sofyan's tomb.

Madame Fatma who could not support her body, was forced to sit in a chair accompanied by her sister-in-law, and also Dania. Dani kept wiping Madame Fatma's back for a little more calm.

" Sir, you have to be strong. We are always there for Fatma. Ikhlaskan Mas Sofyan, Ma'am."

Madam Delila tried to corroborate and comfort her sister-in-law. After he ended, the mourners also greeted Pram to say condolences. Pram received all the words with a very sad heart. Now his role model is gone. Pram's responsibilities increased, Pram had to protect mama and the company. And also Dania who has now become his responsibility.

A circular hand on Lady Fatma's shoulder made Lady Fatma turn her eyes away. Riko came directly hugging her Tantenya from behind.

" Maafin Riko, Tan. Riko's late."

Madame Fatma's cry broke again.

" Riko...Look, if you leave your own aunt. You do not love the same about. Aunty...."

Riko hugged the woman she considered to be her second mother. His heart was broken when he saw the woman who was always smiling sweetly and softly sobbing.

" Aunty's not alone, we're here. There's Pram, there's Riko, there's Reyhan. We'll take care of Auntie."

Everyone who witnessed the meeting between the families was also in his grief. Pram can't even hold his prank anymore. With Reyhan by his side. Pram is trying hard. Reyhan hugged Pram.

" Lo has to be strong, Pram."

After the mourners came home. Only the family is there now. Madame Fatma was still silent next to her husband's navel.

" Mi, I want Maghrib. We go home."

Pram tried to persuade her mother who was still at home beside her husband's navel.

" Mommy still wants to be here."

Dania who was next to Lady Fatma also persuaded the gentle woman.

" Mom, Mr. Sofyan would be sad to see you like this. You don't want, sir Sofyan's steps are heavy there? I have to be sincere, we will teach together. To pray for the Father."

Gentle speech, Dania managed to get Madame Fatma to agree to go home. Dania holds Mrs Fatma accompanied by her sister-in-law Delila.

Dania helps Mrs Fatma to sit spinach in the car. Then shut the car door. In the car driven by the driver, there is Pram, Madame Fatma, and also Miss Delila. When Dania wants to board another car, Mrs Fatma asks Pram to prevent her.

" Where is Dania, Pram?"

Madame Fatma asked when she did not see Dania in the car she was riding in.

" Dania's in Reyhan's car, Ma'am."

Riko and Reyhan only asked each other with a look in the eye. Not yet want to disturb Dania, because they know, all will not be easy for Dania.Mobil Pram and Reyhan cars have entered the residential area, and now stop at the gate of the luxury house. There are already several business partners present to attend the study tonight.

Dania wiped her tears, as the car stopped. Then get down and approach Pram's car. Dania helped her mother-in-law to walk into the house. Although there was no sound of crying, but Dania realized, her mother-in-law must still be very sad.

"Dani, please help your mother to the room. Aunty wants to see, get ready for school tonight."

Madam Delila asked Dani.

" Yes, Madam."

" Aunty, Dani. I am now your aunt. You don't have to talk to Auntie. Okay." Okay."

Dani just nodded, then pushed her mother-in-law into the room. And of course, with in accompanied by Pram. Pram opened the door of her mammoth room to make it easier for Dania and her mother to enter, and Dania helped to sit her in-laws in bed. And help lift his legs.

Everything Dania did did was not spared from Pram's sight. Dani then leaves Madame Fatma and Pram. But not a word came out of Dania's lips. Dania passed by Pram just like that, then she went to the kitchen to make a warm tea and a bowl of porridge. Dania asked Ratih to wait until the porridge was ripe.

Dania went back to her in-laws room and served her a cup of tea. Not only for Mrs Fatma, but also for Pram. Dania gave a cup of tea to Pram without speaking. Pram accepts and without speaking as well. Before long, Madam Ratih came with a bowl of porridge. Dania picked it up and sat down on the edge of the bed.

" Mom eat first. Dani make porridge."

Dania feeds a spoonful of porridge towards Madame Fatma. But Mrs Fatma shook her head.

"Mom, I haven't eaten anything since morning. If you don't eat, you'll get sick."

Madame Fatma who looked into worry in Dania's eyes finally accepted a bribe from Dania. Dania painstakingly, fed until the porridge was finished.

" Dani help clean mom's body."

Pram helped her mom to the bathroom, after which Pram went out. Dani painstakingly wiped the legs and face of Mrs Fatma. Lady Fatma also held Dania's hand. Make Dania look towards Madame Fatma.

" Thank you, Dani. My husband is not wrong, choosing you as a daughter-in-law. I believe you won't let us down."

He said while holding Dania's hand. Dania returned the hand of Madame Fatma. Then half stood before Madame Fatma.

" For Dani, you're Dani's parents. Because of your kindness, Dani can be like this. Thank you Ma'am. Thank you for all the kindness of mom and dad."

Lady Fatma also carried Dania in her arms. Ten minutes later, Mrs Fatma came out of the bathroom fresher. Dania didn't see Pram there. Maybe he's cleaning up. After helping Madame Fatma put on her clothes. Pram is in.

" Dear, thank you. You clean up too. In my closet there's new clothes, maybe you can wear."

" It's okay, Mom. Dani has borrowed from Ratih. Dani can wear that."

Then Dania went to her old room. Ratih's mother has put a simple robe and also a veil. Dania cleaned herself up, and soon joined the house assistants to prepare food for the study tonight.
