Heart Word


All afternoon, I just kept quiet, locked myself in my room. No one knows what happened to him. Mother did not tell anyone about her who was called by the police to be questioned and about the condition of Wibie who was being treated.


"Aldy is outrageous. Why did he have such a grudge against Wibie?"


"Good thing I haven't given him that money. That son of a bitch would've done the same thing even if I had already paid for the damages he asked for,"


"I never thought he was that bad. Everything that has been given to me is asked back even following the flowers. Did he think that all this time left me shares to dare to ask for flowers that multiply, "sorry mother in heart.


"I'm ashamed. It's so embarrassing to me. Without considering Rey's feelings, I've been thrusting myself at the depraved man. I don't want to hear anything his son has complained about his depravity. All I thought about was getting a rich daughter-in-law,"


"God is so good to me. Her disguise of pretending to be loyal to me was finally revealed. The man I had hoped to support the family economy turned out to be a stingy sting, "mommy grumbled again.


"Ah... How'this? He has made the situation difficult. Wibie must be so upset with me. What if he's really angry and doesn't want to give me anything else,"


"The money given as wedding expenses is still intact to me, I do not use it for anything. My savings balance also continues to grow every month because Rey routinely transfers money to treat her father. Only now do I feel I have money after a long time my economy is morat-marit. But will it all stop here?"


"I don't want to go to jail. I also don't want to lose my financial resources. But if you look at Wibie's cold attitude, I'm afraid she's changed her mind?"


"What should I do? Talk to Aldy again, no way. He was already so enraged because of his already established status as a suspect. Aahh..," cried the mother increasingly dizzy.


As Adzan reverberated, mother wiped away her tears. He was moved to pray magrib. For a long time he forgot his duty as a Muslim by reason of being busy and tired of his work.


Mother got out of bed and took ablution, she saw the father and his two children were still busy in the laudry room completing the work that the mother had left them.


As the ablution water washed his face, there was a cool feeling that flushed the mother's heart. His heart began to calm down, a momentary forgotten unease.


Fervently mother completed her rakaat, until at the last prostration her tears spilled. All the sadness fell in that instant. His head suddenly became light.


"I have gone too far to leave You. My steps started to get lost. I was panicked, sad, and so afraid that the people I had left would not forgive me. Forgive your servant, O Allah. Give me a hint. I want to go back, hold them with my love. A mother's love" said the mother in her prayer.


The more comfortable mother, she was so sorry for her who had been so cruel to Rey and her daughter-in-law, also been so disobedient to her husband


When Dad came into the room, she grabbed the man and prostrated herself at his feet. Mom apologized for her mistakes all along.


Although Dad was surprised to see his wife back to prayer after a long time he never did again, Dad was also surprised by his mother's apology to him.


I don't want to question the reason. The man could only grab his wife's shoulder and carry it into his arms. Now they look to forgive each other with an open heart and an airy heart.

"Alhamdulillah can go home," exclaimed Mr. Eko when he entered the treatment room where Wibie was still half lying down waiting for his arrival.


"Doctors already allow home with a record of having to control every week," continued the man again.


Wibie looks happy. Now he can leave the space he has been living in for 5 nights. The condition of his leg bones has improved, only for a while he had to use a tool to walk.


Pak Eko has cleared everything, both administrative affairs and the departure of Wibie to Jakarta.


The man was indeed assigned by the company to accompany Wibie during the treatment.


The plane ticket has been booked two days before, Mr. Eko himself who will take his colleagues at once on it until it reaches Jakarta


"The car is ready, we can go home now" said Mr. Eko


"Okay, just slow down sir. We're going straight to the airport, right? ask the man reassuringly.


"Yes,"


"Don't you care about the family here?" Mr. Eko try to remind.


"Well so. But I don't want my father-in-law to see me in this condition. He just recovered from a stroke,"


"Oh, fine then. We're leaving now,"


Mr. Eko who was carrying a small bag containing some change of clothes and medicine Wibie accompanied his boss who tried to walk in limp. Patiently the man aligned his steps just in case something happened to Wibie.


Arriving in the car, Wibie immediately pulled the phone out of his pants pocket. Now he is seen turning on the phone and also his internet data.


Instantly hundreds of notifications appeared incessantly. Including his wife. It was seen that Rey several times sent out messages and even made voice calls.


Wibie immediately contacted his wife, without waiting for the connection was immediately received Rey at that time.


"I just came out of the wilderness. Now he's visiting the airport" Wibie said after he heard his wife's voice from across the street.


Apparently Rey was so worried about her husband's circumstances, she changed the voice call to vcall. Now she was shocked to find her husband still wearing a neck brace.


"You're why, Mom. What the hell is going on. Why does your neck wear such a device?" tanyanya was so worried.


"Do not panic. I just fell out of a tree. Soon it will heal, too," Wibie tried to make the atmosphere calm.


"Fall from the tree, how. Why are you climbing all the way up?"


"There are more durian trees. I want to eat the durian I pick by myself. Congenital orok, kali," joked Wibie.


"Ah. There's a reason you. But you ain't nothing, are you?"


"No. This is going home again. You can see for yourself if you're not sure!"


"Who are you taking?"


"There's Mr. Eko and the office driver who's gonna take me to the airport,"


Rey could say nothing more. She just looked at her husband's face from the screen.


"Udah, don't worry. I'm fine," entertain Wibie again.


"OKs. Careful, yeah. See you at home,"


"Ga there's a kiss, huh?" sela Wibie teases.


"Appaan, anyway. The same shame that is beside you," Rey blushed.


Wibie laughed at his wife who was not panicking anymore. He was happy to see that face turn red.


Mr. Eko who was beside him just smiled at the behavior of his boss who managed to bang his wife.
