"There's Papa who's gonna take care of Mama, you don't have to worry. Now that you can go home, Mama doesn't want to make Sabina wait too long." Mama clasped my fingers while smiling. There was no more pain on his face.
"Mom sure Mama doesn't feel pain anymore? Araf doesn't want to go home. Should Araf ask Sabina to come and stay here? Araf was sure he wouldn't mind. A girl as good as Sabina would always be mangut as long as it did not contradict her life principles." I tried to convince Mama.
Seeing the look on Mama's face, it seemed like she would refuse.
"No, son. Mama is fine. Mama doesn't want to bother you guys, and there's still your Papa and the servants."
Hmmm!
I let out a rough sigh, Mama knew I would never agree with her words. However, I will continue to obey his every wish. My anxiety has overcome my longing for Sabina. I don't know what the Angel of Heaven did after I left her, I hope she's okay.
"alright. If that's Mama's wish, I'll go home right now." Saying with a smile, I hugged Mama's weak body then walked slowly past Papa who was sitting on the sofa near the dresser.
"Araf, son. You should also say goodbye to your Papa." Pinta Mama while looking at my back. I didn't even look at him.
Mama said in a loud voice, unfortunately I pretended not to hear it. I don't want to discuss anything related to Papa. I'm still upset with her when I remember her late sister Aleta. Either Aleta cried or laughed in Heaven there, which I obviously still can't forgive Papa.
I still think Aleta's sister is gone because of her selfish behavior. Had Papa allowed Aleta to marry the man, it might be possible that Aleta would still be with us. Imagining it all makes me really upset.
"Araf, you have to get along with your papa! Araf.." -..."
"That's it, Ma. No need to ask for it. If he wanted to do that, he would have done it a long time ago."
I could clearly hear every word Papa and Mama said, I was also very disturbed by their cries. How else, I can't control my heart not to hate Papa. Perhaps I was the cruel son who made his Papa an enemy, though I sometimes thought there would come a day when I could hug Papa with a smile. Is that day coming? I don't know, I don't know the answer myself.
Downstairs stood a dozen Art with my head bowed, I could see great regret from their faces, unfortunately I did not care about anything other than my health.
"Are you tired of working here, huh?" Say it with a high voice.
"What did you do until you got hurt so badly? Are you on the paycheck just to relax? If this bad thing happens again I won't let you live in peace." I said as I stared at the dozens of Art with a sharp look.
"Sorry Young Master."
"Never apologize because I will never forgive you." My babble is still in a high tone of voice. I sat down on the sofa while ducking, trying to improve my mood.
Five minutes later I got back on my feet, this time my anger started to wane.
"I'm sorry. Knowing Mama was hurt made my emotions run high. You've been working for a long time, but unfortunately because of my fear, I doubt you." I said full of regrets.
"It's okay, sir. All of this is our fault. Should have been when Madam told me she wanted to go to the warehouse, we had to try harder to prevent her, unfortunately we failed." Art as beloved as Mama tried to defend herself, and I knew there was a value of honesty in every speech.
"I'm going home, I'm picking up Mama. If something bad happens just call my phone number." I said again then walked slowly leaving dozens of Art Mama's trust.
For some reason since separating from Sabina the anxiety and fear began to fill my chest cavity. I felt like there was going to be a storm in my life, unfortunately I couldn't do anything. Thinking about it made my chest feel tight, it felt like I wanted to get home and drown in Sabina's arms. With him this worry and this fear will evaporate with the pull and exhale of both of us.

"Dia.... You should have come home early, that way you could see the smile of your Angel of Heaven. This late? Even your shadow is beginning to feel sleepy." My babble while climbing the stairs, walked towards the second floor where my room and Sabina were.
"Honestly, my body hurts, I push myself too hard at work." My chatter again, this time I tried to open the door slowly so as not to disturb Sabina's sleep.
Whats?
My perfectly rounded net looked towards the sofa. Sabina was there, she was asleep sitting, she was propping her head up with her right hand.
I smile. I'm flattered. Seeing Sabina like that makes me happy, she looks like a wife in a television series, waiting for her husband to go home to sleep.
"He's really sweet!" I said as I walked slowly towards the sofa, placed my medical bag on the table then gently lifted Sabina's body and laid her on the bed.
"Mmh! Is Araf home yet?"
Glekkk!
I immediately swallowed the saliva hearing Sabina's short question. I thought I would lay him on the bed, then let a kiss on the top of his head and lastly cover his body with a blanket. In fact I was wrong, Sabina reacted too quickly. I am like a thief caught by the owner of the house, I can not dwell, I also feel ashamed. Isn't this weird?
"Mas Araf when do you come home? Has Mas Araf had dinner? Wait here, I'll get you some food." Sabina prepared to get out of bed, I quickly grabbed her arm so that Sabina would not drift from her seat.
I just want to be with her, I just want to be drowned in her arms. Dividing all the fret and fidget that still filled my chest cavity. Badly, I don't know where to start because I don't know what makes my heart so restless.
"Why? Is there a problem? Tell me." Sabina asked as she looked at my wet netra. I put my head on Sabina's lap, the gentle swab of her hand on my head as if eliminating half of my fret.
"I have a magic wand, once I move my wand then all your problems will disappear!" Sabina said in a seductive tone of voice
Ahaha!
I chuckled while pulling Sabina's hand and sticking her hand on my chest.
"I know I can't joke, at least Mas Araf can laugh again. I'm happy to see you happy. If Mas Araf wants to see me happy, then stay happy." This time Sabina spoke while ruffling my black hair.
"Wake up, clean up Mas Araf first, after that we will eat together."
"eat? So you haven't eaten?" I woke up from Sabina's lap with perfectly rounded eyes.
"Yet. How can I eat if my darling hasn't eaten? Didn't I tell you, if you're happy I'm happy too. And if you're hungry I'll be hungry with you too." Babe Sabina while pinching my bangir nose.
We stared at each other, expressing each other's feelings in silence. Not wanting to linger, I headed straight for the bathroom. Sabina Sememtara? He went downstairs, preparing food for the two of us.
I just found out that coming home late is going to hurt Sabina. From now on I am determined never to be late again.
Araf, aren't you so blessed? You used to be lazy to go home. But now, there's a beautiful Angel in your house. Aren't you very happy? Since you are so happy then promise me you will always take care of her, make her happy, and keep her smiling. I muttered in my heart while cleaning my dull face.
