My Lovely Neighbour
Look in
Finished bathing Rafa met his daughter who was playing in the living room.
“Honey, again what?” ask Rafa to Kayla.
"Main cook-cook Pa?”
“What cooking is Dear?” rafa asked as he watched Kayla's cookware.
“Color masak. Papa want to eat Kayla's compote?”
“What compote cooks Dear?” ask Rafa again.
“Kayla cook banana compote, Pa.”
“Then you do, papa deh.”
“Entar yes Pa, the collars are not yet cooked. If you've cooked, Kayla kasih.”
“Yes already, now cook first yes. Oh yeah, grandma where's Honey?” rafa asked as he glanced to the right and to the left looking for his mother figure.
“Grandmother was on the terrace Pa,” explains Kayla.
“Papa nmui grandma first yes Darling,” said Rafa directly to the terrace.
It looks like Dian's mom is looking at the flowers on the terrace.
“What's Bu?” ask Rafa.
“Mother look at your orchid flowers, the plan is tomorrow morning the orchid flowers want mom to make it two pots, because the flower pot is solid,” explained bu Dian.
Rafa then walked over to his mother.
“Bu, anyone wants Rafa to talk to mom loh.”
“Come, we sit there,” take Bu Dian.
Then Dian and Rafa were sitting on a long bench under a starfruit tree. After her mother sat down, Rafa started talking.
“You said what Rafa?” ask Dian's mom.
“Rafa wants to talk about that this morning Bu.”
Bu Dian looks just silent while watching Rafa.
“Mom already know what you will talk about.”
“Means mother?” ask Rafa astonished.
“You want to take Kayla to Nazwa, right?” ask Dian's mom.
Rafa nodded his head immediately.
“If mother anyway, it's up to you because Kayla is your child. But you should be able to look back on how Nazwa treated you and Kayla. You must still remember how mom fought raising Kayla. Ever since she was a baby, has Nazwa ever thought of Kayla. Never mind to meet, ask Kayla any news she never. When you remember that, your heart hurts a lot. I don't want to arouse my mother's sacrifice for taking care of Kayla, but I'm heartbroken to remember that.”
Without feeling the tears of Dian's mother flowed. Rafa directly stroked his mother.
“Pardon Rafa yes Mom, if it has made Mom sad. There was no intention of Rafa to hurt Mom's feelings. Rafa only pityes Kayla Bu. Rafa is afraid that Nazwa's life is not long, it will be a regret for Rafa because he did not bring Kayla to his mother during his last days.”
“Don't Kayla not like Nazwa and even she's scared?”
“Indeed Yes Ma'am, but Rafa will give understanding to Kayla. Regarding Nazwa's behavior that has hurt Rafa's feelings Rafa has lost. Rafa doesn't want revenge in Rafa's heart, Mom. God forgives his people, why we as human beings do not forgive each other. Every human being must have a mistake, but there is no right for us to judge him. Let God punish him. Perhaps the calamity Nazwa is now experiencing is the punishment God has given him. So we as humans have no right to judge him. When we look back, there is only pain, resentment and anger. But those are the demons that we have to cast out of our hearts, Mom. Even Nazwa's own parents and siblings who have been hurt and feel very disappointed by Nazwa's behavior, as soon as Rafa told them they felt very happy,” explained Rafa.
It looks like Dian can't hold back her tears.
“Pardon mom yes Rafa because mom has hated Nazwa.”
“Thank you Mom, if you've forgiven Nazwa.”
“Ya tomorrow will be Sunday we both go to the hospital to visit Nazwa and also Mr. Wandi,” said Ms. Dian.
“Thank you Mom for understanding,” said Rafa while stroking his mother's shoulder.’’
“Thank you mother Rafa, because you are the open heart mother.”

“Udah Pa. Kayla is ready from earlier.”
“Which granny, is it ready too?”
“Entar yes Pa, Kayla see first in room.”
After Ms. Dian came out of her room, they went straight to the hospital. The streets seem crowded by road users because today is a Sunday where many people are traveling. After nearly fifteen minutes of travel, the car entered the parking area.
Rafa while holding Kayla's hand walked through the hospital corridor which was quite long, while Dian's mom walked behind them. Rafa still holds Kayla's hand because once released by Kayla, Kayla immediately runs making Rafa have to chase after Kayla who has walked in front.
“Kayla do not run away, later you fall,” said his grandmother.
“Now Kayla's hand must hold on. If not, Kayla just ran away.”
“Papa... Kayla wants to run so hurry to get there,” said Kayla.
“Kayla is not afraid. There are many doctors and nurses. They if they see a hard child will be injected later. Kayla wants an injection?” rafa said she scared her daughter.
“No need Pa,” said Kayla with a pouting face.
“Everything Kayla don't run around. Let papa hold Kayla's hand, let's not be injected with the doctor.”
Kayla finally complied and walked while being held by her father.
“What does Pa?” hurt ask Kayla kepo.
“Dada eyang sick,” clear Rafa.
“Why can it hurt Pa?”
“Papa do not know Honey, because papa is not a doctor,” explained Rafa.
“Papa why did not become a doctor anyway,” asked Kayla.
Rafa smiled at his daughter's words.
“Papa don't want to be a doctor. Therefore Kayla later if it is big to be a doctor, so it can treat grandma if grandma is sick,” said mom Dian while laughing.
“Iya Nek, Kayla wants to be a doctor later if it's big,” said Kayla with a laugh.
“Aamiin, hopefully Kayla will be a doctor yes,”.
Not long after they arrived at the ward of Mr. Wandi.
“How are you doing Sir?” ask Dian's mom.
“ Alhamdulillah Ma'am, already quiet. The plan is tomorrow to go home,” explained Ms. Lusi.
“Oh yes, thank goodness it is.”
“Eyang, aunt Revi where?” kayla asked Susi.
“Tante Revi is coming soon Darling.”
“But aunt Revi has been gone from home since,” explained Kayla.
“Indeed Kayla knows that aunt Revi has left earlier?” ask Dian's mom.
“Tau Nek's. Kayla played on the terrace and Kayla saw that Aunt Revi had left.”
Ms. Lusi laughed immediately. “True darling, but aunt Revi was away with her friend.”
“Definitely aunt Revi go with her guy ya Eyang.”
Everyone there laughed. “Not the guy, but the future husband aunt Revi,” obviously bu Dian.
“Means soon aunt Revi will marry om it donk..” said Kayla.
Hearing her daughter's confession, Rafa was instantly anxious.
“You are still a child always want to know,” said Rafa while reviewing his daughter's head.
Kayla smiled immediately. Suddenly the door is knocked and Revi and Dandi enter. Dada Rafa immediately crowded to see the closeness of Revi with Dandi. Quickly Rafa turned his gaze away so that his feelings did not hurt too much.
