Ariel's been treated at Ardi's house for a week. And during that week, Ariel had wanted to eat porridge, even if only two to three spoons. But there is at least a little progress. Every day, Ardi would tell her their past.
Telling his happiness with his wife, their struggle to be able to hami. Then discuss the problem of his wife who craved until Ariel was born into the world. Discussing the problem of Ariel's mischief as a child, do not forget Ardi showed their photo album when Ariel was born into the world and a lot of memorable photos on the album. From Ariel who learned less, crawling, sitting, walking, learning to talk, learning to eat alone, and when first entered school, and many others. No wonder, until there are three albums collected where one album, there are a thousand photos in it.
"Do you remember this story, son?" he asked while showing a picture of eight-year-old Ariel.
"This is when you told me to, but you didn't want to. For fear. You even have a fever for up to a week. Papa and Mama were very worried, afraid you were okay, and after that, Papa and Mama decided not to force you to su-nat again. HIGga finally at the age of ten years, you want su-nat because you are ashamed of your friends in class, because they are almost all already su-nat all. There, Mama and Papa immediately made a big party because thankfully this handsome papa child took his own initiative to su-nat."
"Ah yes, this is a photo of you when you were thirteen years old, at that time you were Junior High. Papa remembers once, you used to come home from school with a pouting face even you to cry in your arms because you got chocolate and a letter from a woman. You are very funny, while others hope to be like you, you even feel uncomfortable and embarrassed to be treated like that. You even said throw the letter and the chocolate into the trash and antagonize your girlfriend. And after that, you ask to change schools because you do not want a class with women who have expressed their feelings for you. From that moment on, you start to avoid being called a woman."
"And this is when you change schools, in fact in your new school, you are increasingly popular because of your handsome face and always champion in class. Even you have also participated in the Olympics representing schools and you won champion one. Since then, your name has grown. But instead of being sad, you even feel more depressed. Even every time you go home from school, you will vent your anger on your mother because you feel upset. You always tell Mama that you hate women because they approach you because they want to. That's what you often say to your mom. Aye right? Papa still remembers you, because Mama always reported all your activities to Papa, Mama also always tells the contents of your heart as papa."
"Even someone who loves dolls and flowers, right? But you again throw all that away even in front of the person. You don't have a heart. Mama to moan, and Mama also had time to fear that you are g.a.y because you always avoid women. Even when you go to High School, you act cold as a girl. What the hell are you? They are good. Luckily after you graduate college, you start liking someone who is now your wife. Mama until bowed in gratitude you know, because you want to get married. And when Luna never got pregnant, Mama also let. Because for Mama, you want to get married already thank God, so Mama will not feel like Luna to immediately give a grandchild. Mom loves you and Luna very much, son. Even every night, Mama always prays for you both."
Ardi closed his photo album and looked at Ariel.
"Papa wants you to get well soon. After that, let's create our own happiness, without the presence of others. If you want to get married again. Look for a woman like your mother. She was a very kind woman, sholehah, understanding and always a submissive wife. I love the pain of being faced together. If there is a problem, always invite deliberation. Do not like to oppose if the husband says 'no' and importantly, your wife will not put another woman into your household unless she is ready for polygamy or heartache. Because there is no good household, if there is a third person in your life and your wife" he said.
"Oh yes, how about later in the afternoon we go to Mama's grave. You must want to go there, right? Papa knows you must feel guilty. But what is needed now, Mama, is not you who are silent like this. But you need a prayer from us, son. Mama needs that. So, please fight yourself. You have to be able to fight your pain. Papa is sure, you are a strong boy. You can handle everything. Remember that! From today, Papa will always be there for you. Papa will always be a superhero to you. You are Papa's proud son, regardless of what you have done, you are Papa's flesh and blood. There's no smoke if there's no fire, and Papa knows, it's not a hundred percent of your fault. So, Papa can't blame you completely. You have refused from the beginning, but you are always forced, so Papa will not blame you again. Except from the beginning, you accepted his presence willingly."
"We went to the park, you know Mama's garden in the back. Now there is fruit, even the flowers have also bloomed. Let's see."
Ardi took a wheelchair, then he took Ariel and put her in a wheelchair. Then after that, ARdi took Ariel to the park.
"Where are you going, Om?" noah asked to see Ardi and Ariel coming out of the room.
"To the back garden. Where are you going?" tanyakanya.
"I have a friend's appointment, maybe I'll be home at eight."
"Yes already, be careful on the way."
And after that, Noah left. Since Ariel was sick, Noah seemed to not want to be separated from Ariel, even he chose to keep Ariel from having to return to his family. Karean according to Noah, they also contributed to make TAnte Ila die and make the condition of Ariel slumped like this. So, Noah tried to keep his distance from them. And chose to stay with ARdi.
In the back garden, Ardi showed the results of his mother's plants, which until now are still maintained.
"Look at the building, good right? The air here is fresh too. Later we take some of the ingredients to put in Mama's grave yes," he said. Although Ariel did not respond, but Ardi continued to try to invite Ariel to talk.
"Oh yes there is honey melon, it is ripe like. You want, if you want Papa will pick one for you." he said but still did not get a response. Ardi took a ripe honey melon and put it on Ariel's lap.
"You know, if this honey melon is Mama's favorite fruit. Because of her love, Mama even planted her own. You like it too, right?" tanyakanya.
"Let's make this melon puree, so you can swallow it."
Ardi continued to invite Ariel to talk, so after being there for a long time, Ardi also brought ARiel to the room and asked him to take a nap.
\==
In the afternoon, Ardi took Ariel to his wife's funeral. But before leaving, Ardi had washed Ariel and changed her clothes. Then he also took Ariel to the back garden and picked up some flowers. After that, they went to the funeral. Ardi pushed the wheelchair because Ariel could not even stand, let alone walk.
Ardi had heard from Noah, if Ariel in the fontis receipts, but somehow when his mother died, Ariel looked fine even though pale-faced. But unfortunately it did not last long, because after that Ariel's condition even more dropped and ended like this.
At the funeral, Ardi cleaned his wife's grave.
"Dear, sorry I just came. Because I was not ready to come here. My heart still hurts and even I am still not willing to accept your departure. But now, I have tried to learn sincerely, although hard but I try to accept all this. Oh yes today I came with our son. You're happy, right? I've forgiven Ariel, I hope, you're the same. At this time, Ariel is sick. I don't know, you're horrified to confide in me. Tapi juju, as a single parent, I am sad to see our son like this. I'm sad because Ariel doesn't have the spirit of life. I was also afraid, he would leave me like you chose to go rather than hang on to my side. Love, ... " Ardi continued to reveal his heart. While Ariel he only saw the tomb of his mother. Again he cried without a sound.
Ardi, who knew this, wiped his son's tears.
"You know, son. You know you hear what is around you. But you chose to hide because you were afraid of the painful reality. But Papa please, please don't be like this continuously. Let's face it all together. Papa's sure, we can go through all this and achieve happiness in the future." Ardi continues to motivate his son so that Ariel will come out of his fear.
After a long time in the tomb, Ardi decided to bring Ariel home because lingering in the tomb is also not good especially in the condition of Ariel like this.
