Peter Samyang (Pepet Continue Until Dear)
50. Tense

"Yes I'm the same Mama's going there now."

"What's wrong?"

"Oma is critical, sirde asked us to go there. Family members have all gathered together, just us who are not there."

"Well, we're going there now. But Aura how is she too small to be taken to the hospital to visit a sick person, right?"

"Let me be, Auntie. Aura, I'm close to you. He won't fuss. So you can go quietly."

"But..."

"There you go, the sooner the better. Later in the afternoon, I have to go back. Now let me be the same Aura has not left, sir," Baby quickly cut.

Feeling that what Baby said was true, they quickly entered the house preparing to go to the hospital now. There was nothing for them to worry about about Aura, because the little boy was in good hands.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Cakra's car was out of the yard. The man drove his car quickly. It turned out that the annoyance he felt towards his omens did not last long. Hearing her critical omens turned out to worry him as well.

After a few minutes of grinding the asphalt, the mother and child finally flocked to the hospital feeling erratic. Anxiety, worry, panic, blend into one.

"How's mom doing, Mom?" ask Bu Nisa to Pak Bima.

"What do you care about our mother?" ask the only daughter in the Oma Ning family.

"Kok Ma'am Via said that? I'm also part of his family, how could I not care?"

"If you care you shouldn't leave Mom alone. I already know Mom is old, even you live to stop too, you are also chakra. Your grandchildren don't know you. If you don't want to be in the match-fighters, say from the beginning, by the way. You don't have to wear a runaway event from the engagement."

"Sorry, yes Bude. Without compromising my respect for Bude. All this time, Bude's been much the same as me, yeah. Same with me, Mom, and Oma. Bude does not know our daily life, Bude does not know how my struggle to reject this matchmaking. Yang Bude knew I was running away from the engagement, that's all. Without Bude knowing what happened before that day. So I beg you very much not to talk carelessly. Bude doesn't know what we're going through. How much better if Bude keeps quiet!"

"How dare you, Cakra is like me!"

Things are getting tense. Their debate happened quite fierce though without shouting. Just talk in a slow and piercing tone, but enough to bring the atmosphere around them to heat up and feel gripping.

"Have you, Via, Cakra, you guys been any storm at the hospital? Mom needs us. Need our prayers, don't decorate this condition with commotion." Pak Bima as the eldest child mediated the debate.

Until the afternoon, there was no significant development. Miss Nisa who remembered her granddaughter's permission to go home first. There was a lot of waiting, the woman thought.

"How many hours are you here, you have permission to go home. As long as you are in and out of the hospital never once came, once came just a few hours," said Ms. Via.

Cakra was about to answer the remark, but Bu Nisa prevented his intention by touching the child's hand. As if understanding with the code given, Cakra only breathed heavily.

Meanwhile, in the house of Cakra. Baby seems to be chatting with neighbors around the house. The woman was indeed sociable, her intention that only wanted to take Aura for a walk led to her introduction to the neighbor Cakra who she herself did not know Cakra knew her or not.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. That's Mr. Cakra already coming. Come on," said Baby kindly.

Baby soon returns home after getting a nod from a neighbor he just met.

"Baby, is Aura fussy? Forgive us for leaving you too long, yes," said Ms. Nisa while taking over Aura from Baby's sling.

"Ah no Aunt, Aura is not fussy at all. Thank God he fits me. I went home, Tan. It's afternoon."

"I take it, later I can go home to ride an ojek. It's late in the afternoon, you've been here a lot, but I never wanted to drop off. I am responsible for your safety. I don't take responsibility."

"No need, sir. Mom and Dad did not bother. So you don't have to worry."

"Yes, it doesn't matter now. I'm afraid it'll be a problem in the future. You're following me."

"Sir..."

"Udah Baby, it's okay" said Ms. Nisa.

Baby thinks, would it not be a problem in the future if they know their relationship now? But on the other hand, Baby also understands if the reckless or slow both parents must know their relationship. But for now, Baby is not ready.

After no longer being able to resist, Baby finally returned home with an unusual heartbeat. He could not sit quietly in his motorcycle seat. He thought about whatever would happen later.

Baby's daydream seems to bring its journey faster. He gasped as soon as his motorbike reached his yard.

Just as Baby got off his bike, Mother Baby was already seen on the terrace. Bu Nur was seen waiting for his son's return with anxiety and his face was filled with question marks.

"Sir, are you sure you'll see Mom now?" tanya Baby after Cakran took off her helmet.

"What makes me unsure? Sooner or later I have to face it. I'd rather face it now than later, right? I can definitely get what I want. Get out now we're in. Oh, I'm waiting for you."

Slowly Baby stepped, his steps seemed very heavy and felt very far away. It was as if he did not want to get out of his place. Even the sense of tightness now feels perched. Though the air around him is also still felt, but somehow he feels the air around him feels like it is filled with police who make Baby's breath feel abnormal.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mom," said Cakra to Mother Baby.

"Getishalight." Bu Nur welcomed Baby's hand, but the face and tone of speech could not be lied to.

"So this is what makes you every time you have a work holiday you always leave the house?" ask Bu Nur to the point. "Go home now, let me talk to Cakra first. Right, isn't your name Cakra?"

"Yes, Mom."

Bu Nur's words made Baby feel bad, what will they talk about later? This is what makes Baby not ready to bring together Cakra and his mother now.
