Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
49. Slowly But Surely

°°°

Abi went into the room that had been prepared for him with his wife. The first sight he saw when he entered was his wife and daughter hugging each other.

Abi was moved, he knew all this time not only he who missed their daughter but his wife as well. Yes which mother does not miss her hard-earned child she raised very well.

However, the wife was more able to hide her sadness in front of Abi.

"What is the miss," said Abi made Rara and Umi let go of his embrace.

"Then it's coming." Rara saw her Abinya.

"Look off. You go back to see your husband, maybe he needs something." Abi's orders while wiping his daughter's head.

"All right, I'll go back to the room first. Abi and Umi rest."

Rara get out of there.

"Look, who often said that Abi missed Rara too much. Now who's crying," Abi said to his wife who was crying in her daughter's arms, so Abi immediately told Rara to come out so as not to see her umi crying.

"This crap, I'm not crying. My eyes were accidentally dusted." Umi tried to find an excuse.

Abi chuckled at the reason his wife had made up.

,,,

Rara went back to her room and it turned out that her husband was already there.

"You're back" said Revan, who had been waiting for his wife's arrival.

"Yes, does your sister need anything?" ask Rara.

"No, sit down." Revan patted the lip of the bed for Rara to sit next to him.

Rara approached and sat there.

"Are you happy to meet Umi and Abi today."

Of course Rara nodded.

"I'm sorry that I haven't had time to invite you to visit them and thank you for not telling us what happened to our relationship with Umi and Abi."

Revan was so embarrassed that he forgot things about his wife.

"It's okay, sister and it's natural for a wife to cover her husband's disgrace. It's enough of us to know the problem and solve it." Such was Rara with her understanding and patience.

Revan can't say anything more he's lucky to have a wife like Rara.

"We'd better get some sleep, tomorrow we're gonna have a long journey."

Rara agreed, and went into the bathroom to change her clothes.

After that he went up to the bed, where there was already a husband who laid his body there.

"May this bolster not be here anymore" said Revan suddenly.

Rara raised her eyebrows.

"Mmmm. I mean can this roll not be put here anymore."

Revan was confused as to how to explain his point.

While Rara smiled slightly at him, she put away the two bolsters without asking any more.

Revan was happy to see him, but he did not dare to ask for more even though he really wanted to hug his wife.

As the night wore on, the two fell asleep in their sleep. Although still with the same position as yesterday, but now there is no more bolster between them.

In the morning after breakfast, they are ready to go to Jogja by driving a car owned by the Herwaman family.

They are divided into two cars with drivers who will drive cars. Initially intend to use one large car but with various considerations finally not so.

"We go first, Cake. Thank you for accepting us here and for taking care of Rara so well."

Abi says goodbye to Tio's grandfather.

"No need to worry, son, we are family. Come here often if you can."

"Thank you for giving birth to a daughter as beautiful and as good as Rara." This time, I switched to Umi.

Umi was also moved to hear it.

"Sama-sama Kek," said Umi then he kissed the back of grandfather's hand.

Revan and Rara say goodbye to the grandfather alternately.

"Grandfather, you guys come home with good news for all of us."

They know what Grandpa means is pregnancy news from Rara, but can't answer anything because they don't know when it happened.

"Grandfather take care at home, do not be late to eat and do not be too tired," said Rara.

"You don't have to worry, there's an old man who's gonna take care of Grandpa."

Yes, almost 24 hours Ahmad is always with his grandfather. Even while sleeping there is a tool that connects to Mr. Ahmad's room if something happens suddenly to grandfather.

"We go Cake."

Revan hugged his grandfather.

"Don't disappoint grandfather, make the most of your time" whispered grandfather and it made Revan smile knot.

"Just pray Cake" replied Revan.

Rara narrowed her eyes looking at grandfather and Revan who seemed to be smiling strangely. But he doesn't want to think much.

Both cars had left the residence of the Herwaman family. Start the journey to Jogjakarta, a special area famous for its palace and tourist attractions.

Elsewhere on a weekend holiday, is a very busy day for a beautiful girl who lives in a cheap boarding house with a size of 2x3 meters. Do not be asked if there is a bathroom or not, certainly not for which bathroom in must be more expensive rent.

Lia had never complained about her current state of affairs because for her there were still many less fortunate than her current self. Already the risk of wander in the capital which he said was more cruel than stepmother. All he did for the sake of a better life and aspired to help the cost of his younger siblings who were still in the orphanage.

Rice rames with vegetables made into everyday food Lia during this time, he had to save money for the cost of living in the city and to be sent to the orphanage. Although the tuition fee is free from the scholarship he got, but the needs of others must be fulfilled by Lia himself.

Lia was riding his motorcycle matic which he bought second from the results he sold online first in the village. Praise be to him, for Allah has always made his way easier.

If someone else is going to take a weekend off then Lia will ask for overtime on her weekend. The goal is to increase his income.

"You've come, Lia" said Lia's boss, a socialite woman.

"Yes, ma'am" replied Lia.

"It's good that I like your spirit, and then help you deliver this order."

"Now Mom, it's not like we haven't started to open yet." Lia scratched her forehead.

"Yes, but since this is a loyal customer so I give an exception. There you deliver, lest our customers starve because the food does not come."

"All right, ma'am, I'm leaving now." Lia could only comply rather than lose her job and she remembered that today she was paid three times as much for taking the day off but she had to leave in place of her sick friend.

Lia was riding her motorcycle which she had just parked, not forgetting to wear a helmet and jacket for safety.

Before running the motor Lia saw the address of the food ordering and immediately her eyes were perfectly rounded. Why people who most want to avoid actually often meet.

Lia took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, inevitably she had no choice but to refuse to deliver the order. He only hoped that the man would not recognize him as usual.

to be continue...
