Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
130. Allow Me to Be Your Legs to Step
In the midst of playing with his two heroes, Rapa got a call from the mother who said that his wife had just made Rapa's smile expand as well as the people who were at home.
“Honey, Papa said yes, want to meet Mama first, we will play again. Don't fuss!” rapa's sweat pointed her index finger. After floating a few kisses on the faces of his two sons, Rapa then paid a farewell to everyone and rushed towards the hospital. He can't wait to see his wife.
It only takes about 30 minutes, Rapa arrived at the hospital where his wife was treated. The smile continued to be etched until it arrived at the wife's nursery, and the smile grew wider as Cleona greeted her with a smile and stretched out hands, asking Rapa to immediately hug her, making Rapa run small, then he hugged his beloved wife who was still lying in a hospital bed.
“Kangen!” cleona said in a spoiled tone that made Rapa chuckle softly.
“I miss you too baby. You really long sleep,” said Rapa gave a brief kiss on the forehead of his beautiful wife. But once reminded of something, Rapa slowly let go of his embrace and looked at his wife, “kaki you.?” Rapa spoke carefully.
“Queen know really, Bang, the doctor was clear that Queen can not walk,” the beautiful woman smiled, look strong.
“You're not sad?” ask Rapa to make sure. Because since the trip, even after the wife was removed from the operating room and the Doctor explained about the state of his wife, Rapa had imagined that Cleona would cry hysterically. But what he imagined did not happen, his wife instead gave him a smile and even a kiss.
“Clearly Queen is sad, but Queen is more grateful because God still gives the opportunity for Queen to live, see Brother, Mother, Papi, Father and others. Also see the growth of our children.”
What Cleona said just now made Rapa moved and immediately rushed to embrace her beloved woman. Not much different from Pandu, Leo and Lyra who were also in the room witnessed how tough Cleona was.
“Abang, with Queen conditions like this, do you still want to accept Queen?” asked Cleona suddenly.
Unraveling his embrace, Rapa gave a kiss in both of his wife's eyes alternately after which looked at her lover with a gentle gaze. “Honey listen Brother, whatever your circumstances, whatever your condition, Brother will forever love you, because you are half of your soul. So, never doubt your loyalty, what else is doubtful of your love. You understand?”
Nodding Cleona then developed her smile, and again spread her arms asking her beloved husband to embrace her again. “Thank you Brother, thank you for being willing to accept Queen's shortcomings, thank you for loving Queen so deeply. Queen promises to keep trying to get back on track, although the Doctor says that the possibility is small, but Queen believes God has other plans for Queen.”
Cleona and Rapa's friends take turns to visit, as well as her other family. Cleona was relieved her friends did not look at her pity for what she experienced, they actually gave her support and encouraged her, which made Cleona grateful to have them all.
The arrival of the twins was what made Cleona happy instead of playing, one week more did not meet with her two children make Cleona so missed her children until tears could no longer stand her.
“Mama kangen very same you guys,” said Cleona kissed the cheeks padlocked her children who were in a sling Rapa.
“We're also kangen, Mama. Quickly recover Mama, so we can play together again.” said Rapa with a voice made like a child. Then the two laughed, as well as the twins who laughed as if they understood what their parents were talking about.

Knowing the news that the son-in-law has been allowed to go home, Lyra with the help of Devi and Amel prepare all kinds of Cleona's favorite dishes to give a speech to her beloved daughter-in-law, not to forget Lyra also contacted friends of her children to come and join the welcoming event.
And it just so happened that they were all going back to visit Cleona in the hospital, once knowing that the ones that will be approached have been allowed to go home makes them turn the direction to be to the Lyra-Pandu house, making the atmosphere that is already crowded with large families increasingly crowded with their existence.
“Gue can already be lucky if, Si El will be the successor of Si Rapa,” said Dava who is currently sitting observing the twins.
“So nebak-nebak lo, massage!” daniel's lips put a tick in his friend's head.
“Eh make no mistake, my guess is usually right know. Look, Nathan is with Nathael even though he is still a few months old, El has been seen his bars. Nathan's toys he often snatch, I'm so worried that big later tuh boy called Nathan's girl too,”
Bugh.
Vishnu's wooden stick landed on Dava's head. “Lo realize that what you're talking about is my great-grandchild?” vishnu's sharp gaze gave to his son-in-law's grandson's friend.
Leon and the grandmothers also observed Daniel and his other gardens. Dava gives Nathan a rubber duck toy while Nathael gives him a fish toy. For a moment they all fell silent and observed the two boys.
“Kok I just realized, yes?” The first Burmese opened their voices after a few minutes of observing.
“Nathan is self-conscious, as big brother you have to give a lot,” chiko chirps later. “But I'm sure that he will one day be a cool leader. I hope I have a daughter,”
“What do you want if your child is a girl?” akbar asked with a frown.
“You I'm a mate,” replied Chiko raised her eyebrows, made her friends throw a whip and toyoran on Chiko's head.
“Cih, sirik!”
“Nah-well, tuh bar-bar is not a boy!” Dava excitedly pointed at Nathael who again tried to take the toy in Nathan's hands. The little boy's hand even got rid of his brother's head, and turned off Nathan's movements by pushing his feet, and locked the movement of his brother's hand.
“Wih, my great-grandson,” Leon voiced while pointing at Nathael with pride. “Granpa sure nih, gedenya Nathael not much different from Rapa and Devin.”
“Fruit does not fall far from the tree.” Linda was next to her husband.
“The ruler must be there ma,” Leon said.
“Emang, but don't be crazy in downin.” This time it was Melinda.
“Not crazy, but humorous.” Denying Leon.
“Iya-in let's hurry!” the cry of Lyra that suddenly came, then passed from the people who gathered in the middle room to the terrace to welcome the return of Cleona who from Pandu information had just entered the housing complex where they lived.
And sure enough, not ten minutes Leo's car parked in the yard of the house, followed by the exit of the Guide who then took a wheelchair in the trunk. The people inside scattered out with happy smiles, standing on the terrace waiting for Cleona.
Once Pandu was ready with his wheelchair, Rapa first came out, then carried Cleona and moved his wife to sit in a wheelchair.
“Welcome home Queen!” everyone shouted at the same time without being in command.
“Gosh until welcomed everything, so moved by gini,” Cleona rubbed the corner of her eyes that accidentally dropped a clear grain.
Lyra told everyone to go back in and continue chatting inside, while enjoying the dish she had made since. Sadness is really not shown by everyone, because there is only laughter, jokes and silliness of all of them, he said, make the atmosphere so warm until the evening before and one by one of them retreat to go home each.
“Doctor said you have to rest a lot, so now I take you to the room huh?”
“But ..” Cleona stares at her husband and the stairs in turn.
Understand with the intention of the wife, Rapa then floated her small kiss on the forehead of the beautiful woman. “Our room has moved down, baby. Same with the twins.”
“Yes God, Queen is very touched by this. You guys are very understanding,” said Cleona tearfully. “Thank you for understanding Queen's situation, and sorry for taking care of you all. Especially for brother, sorry because from now on Queen has to make brother hassles take care of Queen who can not walk and me..”.
“Suuttt!” Rapa immediately placed her index finger on the wife's lips, so that the woman stopped her speech. “Abang never felt you repotin, baby. Your brother loves you, so whatever your brother will do for you. Please allow brother to be your foot to step.”
