...~Happy Reading~...
In the evening, when almost everyone attended the fifth haul event for the late Kirana. Khalifa chose to rest inside her room, as was her initial suspicion that Hilal would not seek her whereabouts. Therefore, he chose to remain at his parents' house.
But that's not the real reason he can't come. Because of Khalifa's stomach that had felt cramping, made Eleena who forbade him to come along and told him to rest.
“Darling, you why the moody keep?” Khalifa looked at her daughter who was currently lying in front of her.
“A sick delay?” Aca gently rubbed her mother's face.
Khalifa immediately shook her head, “Mother gapapa Darling. You why?”
“Mother,.. can you not ask?”
Khalifa nodded her head, gently grasping the hand of Aca who was currently touching her face. It feels warm, not even hot. Immediately, Khalifa's hand turned to touch the forehead of Aca which indeed turned out the body of her child was having a fairly high fever.
“Dear you are sick. Mother take the compress first huh?”
The panic! Khalifa immediately sat down, and got out of her bed to take warm water along with a small towel to compress the Aca.
Occasionally, he could see a deep breath from Khalifa especially as he went down the stairs and climbed back up, the pain and aches that had previously disappeared now seemed to be present again at the wrong time.
Khalifa chose to ignore herself, because her focus was now only on the Aca. Her body was very hot, but the face of the little girl looked so flat, while staring at the sky of Khalifa's room.
“Honey, what do you think. Aca, look at Mother Dear!” Aca turned her head, she could see the sincerity on her mother's face, making her tears suddenly fall and she sobbed.
Khalifa was increasingly confused by the state of Aca, which at the end of this time he felt that the Aca slightly changed. The little girl was not as happy as before.
“Aca ... “
“Mothers love same Aca gak?” ask the little girl in a hoarse voice.
“Of course Dear! Mommy loves Aca so much, why does Aca ask like that?”
The deg!
Khalifa. Re-digesting the words spoken by Aca. Love mom? That means loving Kirana, how can Khalifa love people she doesn't know, even those people are gone.
“Aca ... “
“Kunapa Mommy throw out photos Mother na Aca hiks hiks, kunapa Mommy did not say the same Aca first, kunapa hiks hiks.” Again and again Khalifa fell silent, he did not expect that the photo of Kirana that he had hidden a month ago was now revealed by Aca.
“Darling, sorry Mother yes. Mother did not mean that, Bunda—“
“Sini na Aca pain Mother,” adis small it pointed her chest area.
“Mother does not love the same Mother na Aca hiks hiks, benel kata ante, if mother wants to take father na Aca aja. After throwing away the photos of mom later mom wants to throw away Aca too, huaaaaa!”
Aca's cry broke out, out of nowhere he got the words that could make his heart so sensitive and so able to put out words like that. Khalifa was still silent, trying to understand and digest the words of the Aca.
“Mother never discards a photo of Dear Mother! It's just, Mommy put her to the place—“
“Post lies!” Aa screamed in between her cries, making Khalifa more and more in the confusion, “Kan Aca love Mother also, kunapa Bunda not bulehin.”
“Honey, Bunda—“
“What is this?”
The deg!
The debate between Khalifa and Aca came to a halt when the voice of a man now appeared in the doorway, making the cry of Aca instantly stop, the little girl wiped the tears on her face.
