96. Reckless

Six months later.

Rifki is getting used to the absence of Dara in her life. Getting used to it does not mean forgetting. It's just that he no longer wants to hope with the circumstances and love that makes him more broken.

Rifki has changed a lot. He no longer uses a wheelchair. Although he doesn't know who he's walking for, he doesn't know who he's cured for. His love had failed completely for the second time. He did this only for his mother, he could bear if he had to make his mother sad constantly.

"Rif, there's good news on the hospital side." Ms. Rini screamed hysterically so happy.

"What, Mom?"

"You've already got an eye donor. Soon you can see. The surgery will be done in a month if you want or if you're stable." Ms. Rini was very happy, so happy she hugged the child tightly. Things he never did before.

However, Rifki gave a different reaction. He was ordinary, not even smiling. It managed to invite a question in the heart of Bu Rini.

"Why is your face ordinary? You can see soon, what are you sad about? What makes you unhappy?"

"Why can I see that I'm no longer with Dara. While my beauty was in him, my future was there but he left a wound. I have no reason to look back."

" Is there no love in your heart for Mom? At least do this for Mom, just for Mom. If you can see you can rearrange your future that was delayed. Your life is not finished here. You must be strong for Mother."

"I can't afford to see Dara happy with other people. I've gotten used to it without him but my heart doesn't."

"Well you don't need surgery, you don't need to be able to see Let Mom take care of you until old Mom." Miss Rini left with a sob.

Shortly after the departure of his mother, Rifki also did the same thing he cried in silence and noiseless. On the one hand he was reluctant to be able to see, but on the other hand if he did that his mother would be hurt. Rifki is tired of her life. Whatever decision he made would still be wrong for him.

Rifki sets foot into her mother's room hoping to find her there. He felt guilty for making his mother cry.

When Rifki managed to grab the doorknob of her mother's room, she faintly heard her mother's sobbing and heart-wrenching.

"God why did you take my son's happiness for so long. What was my fault that I endured and underwent such a heavy test. How do I explain that his life means so much to me. I don't mind if I take care of him until old, neat who will take care of him later if I'm gone. Please open the door of God's heart, please get him back in the spirit to live his life."

Rifki grimaced, her heart feeling sore. He realized that he was very selfish right now. He only tends to think about his feelings without thinking about the feelings of his mother who has been taking care of him for months.

"Mother," Call Rifki quietly while knocking on the room door.

"Yes what's wrong?" Tanya Bu Rini was busy wiping her snot.

" I want an operation for Mom."

One sentence that made Miss Rini cry again hugging Rifki. He cried happily when the decision taken by the child was right.

"Thank you for bringing back my happiness. I'll call the doctor again."

***

Elsewhere, Dara still could not recover completely from her trauma. He was still afraid to leave the house, still afraid of unknown people. However, it has never been hysterical like before. Her joy gradually returned even though her smile was rarely seen adorning her lips.

Dara never forgets her feelings and also Rifki. His feelings were still the same and would remain the same, but he did not have the courage to meet the man.

Six months of disappearing left Dara self-tortured with her feelings. Jaka repeatedly makes the girl believe that Rifki will accept him unconditionally. But Dara felt unworthy of the man.

Ayu secretly contacts Rini when Jaka is not home. There was a slightly long connecting tone, but in the next second Ayu had heard Bu Rini's voice.

"Yes hello."

"Mom how are you?" ask Ayu.

"Sorry who, huh?"

Simple questions that could make Ayu surprised. He believes this happened because his family had no news for months and it made Bu Rini and Rifki hurt. This month they are supposed to be engaged. But his family suddenly had no kabarmengert. Who would not misunderstand such a situation, inner Ayu.

"It's me, Mom, Ayu."

" Oh you. Does anyone remember me?"

"How can I forget my mother?"

" What's the matter call me?"

"I'd like to explain our disappearance."

"For what? Open up new hope for Rifki? Made to fly and then dropped."

"Mom, what I'm thinking isn't the truth, we never left you. Please give me a chance to explain what happened. So that there are no regrets between us."

Ms. Rini could not hide her curiosity. He was actually disappointed and angry at Dara's family. But hearing Ayu's words made him think that he needed to hear their explanations, he needed to know what made them go without news .

"Yes, explain it now!"

"I'm going home now, yeah, Mom."

Won't waste any longer than getting ready for Rifki's house.

"Where are you going?" ask to keep the new one coming.

Ayu waver, she never lied to her husband before. He wasted a few seconds thinking about what reason he would make.

"You go to the house."

Jaka cringing. "I delivered," he said later. I don't know what makes Jaka feel his wife is lying to her papa.

"Yes, let's go to the anti-hungry restaurant."

Instead of Jaka being suspicious, Ayu prefers to lie like this, it's okay to be a little complicated and bother that is important he can go to Rifki's house.

There was no conversation throughout their journey of silence and immersion in each other's thoughts. Throughout the journey Ayu continued to pray that what he did was good to both of them. For Rifki and also Dara, the woman had high hopes of seeing them but was fine.

A few minutes later they arrived at the restaurant that Ayu meant. The woman went down and walked into the restaurant. Sit there and pretend to order something. As soon as he sat on a chair Jaka covered went from there. Instantly Ayu also did the same darting from the restaurant and ordered a taxi online.
