Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
107. Welcoming Return

Since waking up Cleona and Rapa have been forced to follow the parents to the old residence of the Levin family, because reportedly the sister of the mother will move back to the homeland after 10 years of living in Singapore. And today everyone gathered in the long-empty house to welcome the owner's return.

Shortly after Cleona's arrival as well as her family, Amel and her husband and children also came in after Clara and Burma who bothered with grocery bags containing various ingredients for cooking and snacks intended for young children, like Laura and maybe Levin's kids later. Added the pregnant woman who also seems not to dare to rise if surrounded by various snacks.

The house that is always routinely cleaned is not too much to make them hassles and only need to get rid of the dining table and chairs before then replaced by a mat in order to accommodate many people later.

And when the mother, aunty Amel, Clara and Meldi were busy in the kitchen, Cleona instead relaxed with the grandparents in the living room, enjoying the snacks provided, and even, rapa and Laura are today in charge of picking up the family from the mother at the airport.

“Queen when to give birth?” ask Vishnu's grandfather who was sitting on the sofa opposite Cleona.

“Aunty Amel's forecast is between four or three weeks away, Kek.” Everyone in the room nodded at the same time.

“Jaga is good for your health, yes, son. And remember to be careful!” Melinda gently warned.

Cleona smiled, then lowered her head with a sad look on her face. “Grandma, can Queen afford to be a good parent for Queen's children later? Queen feels unworthy ..”

Linda, who was next to her granddaughter-in-law, quickly grabbed Cleona's body into a hug before saying, “God gave a little angel in your stomach, that means you deserve to be a parent, to be a mother who will raise her children with love and affection.”

“Ta- but grandma ..”

“You just have to learn, and love your children later. Others, your conscience as a mother will work by itself. The most important thing is that you have to be sure, that you can.”

Cleona nodded at the advice of her two grandmothers who made her feelings now began to be quite relieved and could again widen her smile.

“Hopefully there is still an age to welcome the presence of our great-grandchildren,” said Leon, who managed to re-sort the smile that was originally engraved on Cleona's lips.

“Grandpa don't talk like that, because Queen is sure, grandpa, grandma, and grandpa will live a long, healthy life and can definitely mess with her children Queen later.”

“That money no one knows, baby. What's more we're old.” The gentle swipe from the grandmother inexplicably made Cleona sad, and immediately hugged the middle-aged woman tightly.

“Do not talk like that, Grandma, Queen is not ready, and will never be ready if you have to go back to losing. Queen needs you, needs your guidance too. Queen please do not leave Queen.” Tears just fell without command.

The sadness was always Cleona felt when anyone talked about death. He knew death was coming, but remembering the passing of the mother he heard suddenly made Cleona unable to hold back tears. And he hates talking about leaving.

Linda who understood the grief of the granddaughter-in-law rubbed Cleona's back gently, occasionally patting her gently to give the pregnant woman some peace. And when he felt the grandson had begun to calm down, then he broke his embrace, wiping the tears that drenched Cleona's cheeks with her wrinkled hands while apologizing for her words that might remind the woman of the figure of the mother.

“Grandpa, I miss you.” Dania, who was none other than the first daughter of Levin-Devi, immediately hugged Leon who welcomed the arrival of his grandchildren with joy, not much different from the other two children Levin, do the same with my grandfather.

And it made Linda, Melinda and Vishnu sigh in relief, because at least it helped them from the new sad atmosphere created.

“You must speak Indonesian here. Remember, love your own country language!” linda said as her three grandchildren approached.

“Hallo father, mother.”

“Come also you ungodly boy,” delicates Leon as soon as Levin shows himself with his trademark grin.

Placed.

One scathing snap became Leon's friendly welcome to the son, who was currently giving a hug. In his old age, Leon was still able to give a throbbing pain to Levin temples. Make him sure that the father is in good health.

“Thanks for the welcome papa,” said Levin who then turned to the mother, who greeted him with a warm embrace that so very much Levin missed.

“Mama is healthy right, ma?” levin asked wiping the corner of the mama's eyes that contained a drop of clear bulir that was ready to fall.

“Mama will be healthier if the mama's kids get together like now. Don't go again huh, son?”

“Levin never wanted to go, but because the old man was forced to leave mama,” Levin pointed at Leon with his chin, not intending to be disrespectful, it's just that Levin still feels a little annoyed at the papa who used to send him to the people's country to take care of work.

“Papa didn't tell you to stay there all this time huh, Bang!” delik Leon who did not accept was blamed.

“Yes, yes, wrong Levin.” His words succumbed with a very clear forced look, making everyone there laugh at him so satisfied. And the conversation went on again until Lyra came asking them all to move in for lunch together.

Of course, the invitation was greeted with joy by everyone including Rapa who had been busy arguing, about Devin who was not allowed to touch Cleona's stomach.

And Cleona realized that now Rapa's opponent is increasing. Another person who would make Rapa cranky is unclear and the male's possessiveness would further make Cleona difficult to move, though, because it was no longer a secret that Rapa was always jealous of the closeness of Cleona and her cousin.

"May God give me a lot of patience and also a strong ear to hear every whining of my husband." Cleona's prayer in the heart.
