Birthmarks

Gnats

Maybe I do not know how the baby grows, but compared to yesterday Wira looks more crybaby. Usually he sleeps soundly and the night invites me to stay up late. It's different.

Since then Wira is fussy, as if knowing that her Mommy has been restless and not calm with her future. She seeks attention Dance continues with her crying and only stops crying after Tari gives her nen.

"Bi, can you tell me what the outcome is? My wife slept well!" said Tari while releasing the nen from Wira and buttoning back her negligent buttons.

"Rubber, Gas. Oma was also curious. Did you find the birthmark that Oma mentioned?" ask Oma.

Apparently not just a curious Dance, Oma too. Everyone wants to know what I saw in the room.

"Alright, Agas will tell you what Agas saw. Gias searched on the left, there was no birthmark at all." I noticed Tari, Mama Irna and Oma looked so tense.

"Then?" mama Irna asked.

Kulirik Mama who took Wira from Tari's hand and carried her. Mama's initiative alone was afraid that her granddaughter was shocked that her Mommy was crying.

"To the right of Agas see... There's a circle about the size of Agas' thumb. Red-colored. Is that Oma's birthmark?" I asked with a serious face.

Oma cried and immediately stood up and hugged Dari. "God my grandson.... I can still meet my granddaughter.... Oh Allah.... Nauras... Mama can see your son... Thanks..."

"really?" ask Aunt Irna not to believe it.

With tears Aunt Irna also hugged Tari. "Yes Allah's Aunt's nephew... Nauras... Your son has met, Na...."

Dance said nothing. She cried with her grandmother and aunt. Without realizing it, I also shed tears.

My dance... Finally got a family....

My dance... Finally able to hug his biological family...

Mama also cried while holding Wira. Apparently the entire room was moved by this long-distance family gathering.

Oma then let go of her hug on Dance, Mama Irna also did the same. Oma wiped away the tears on Dari's face with her wrinkled fingers.

"Sorry Oma, honey... Sorry Oma.." said Oma with regret. "If Oma had blessed Naura and Andri's relationship, you would not have suffered such a fate. You will grow up with a family that loves you. All because of Oma's selfishness. If Oma could turn back the clock, surely Oma would bless both of your parents, son. It's all Oma's fault...." Oma came back crying regretting her decision in the past.

Dance shook her head. "It's God's destiny, Oma. It's a way of life Dance like this. Dance can only live it with gratitude. Oma does not need to violate herself Oma continuously. Dari sure, Oma must have her own consideration to not approve of Mama Naura's relationship."

"You... Want to say sorry, dear?" asked Oma again in a hoarse voice because she had been crying ever since.

Dance now nodded her head confidently. "certain Oma. There is no revenge in the heart of Dance. Dari was very happy to know that Tari had a family. This is the most beautiful gift that Tari got. Dance still has Oma, the thing that has been too afraid of Dance dream. Now there is no need to dream, Dance does have Oma. What a beautiful oma!"

I was thrilled to see this family gathering. Oma who so missed a granddaughter who never met at all. Not to mention the feeling of guilt in Oma because it does not allow her son to marry the man she loves and ends with her child having to leave her granddaughter in an orphanage before dying. This meeting seemed to open up an old bond that hurt everyone.

The dance that hugged Oma affectionately. Hugged his real family. Even Tari wants to tell her everything that happened in her life to her only grandmother.

"What about Papa Dance, Oma?" tanya Tari after they started talking about the life they went through each.

"Papa you are an orphan, that's why Oma doesn't approve of your Mama Naura's relationship with her. Oma wants your Mama to marry a family that is because Oma used to think that marrying into a family will guarantee happiness. But Oma's wrong, Mama you're desperate to elope and leave the house with your Papa,"

"Maybe because Oma did not approve, obstacles for the sake of obstacles in their household began to appear. Your papa died. Naura also has a disease so you have to leave it at the Orphanage. If, Oma can uproot all of Oma's annoyance and give your parents their blessing, maybe the ending is not like this." again Oma regretted her actions in the past.

I know, the sense of regret in Oma is so great. He has always said that if he can go back in time. I don't think it's necessary. Everything that happens is recorded in the destiny. Although Oma can return to the past, not necessarily He can change what has become the destiny.

"Can Tari meet Mama Naura, Oma?" tanya Dance.

Oma nodded. "Can. Of course, honey. Oma's gonna take you there."

A single smile was finally etched on Tari's face. Since then he has been crying. "Thank you, Oma. After aqiqah Wira ya Oma. Dance must also recuperate Dance first."

"Yes, Honey. A hero is a great-grandson of Oma does that mean? Oma can carry? Since then Oma wants to be fat but afraid of not being given permission."

"By dong, Oma." Dari then asked Mama to give the Hero to Oma.

Oma also received the Hero and carried him lovingly. Yes still crying Oma seems her tears never subside. Still feeling sad. Though, it should be a moment like this for joy but Oma vented it in a crying manner.

"Oma haven't given you a gift yet Wira? What do you want a hero? Tomorrow, Oma bring gifts for Wira." Oma spoke to Wira as if the slumbering Wira could respond to her speech.

"Not bother, Oma. Oma came to see Wira only Tari was very happy. Oma simply prayed for Wira to be a sholeh and filial child to parents."

"No dong. Visiting a newborn baby must bring a gift. Oma has something for you too. Tomorrow yeah... Oma will come here again. Oma will bring gifts for Wira and something for Mommy Dance."

"Make Dance also Oma?"

"Yes dong. Got your Mama."

"What is that, Ma?"

"Secret!"

Mama Irna had since been staring at Dari and Oma who were chatting familiarly. He was happy that finally Oma and Tari had met after such a long time.
