The End of Hope
90 Eps. Mother to My Son 2

Dinda called Ares while rambling her way over here. Although upset, Ares was not angry, he only replied as necessary, however Dinda was his sister. Ares who is restless waiting for Naya in front of his house is now succumbing to his sister, defeating his ego, and defeating anger at his own stupidity.

Once again he is carried in the strangeness of destiny, which follows, like a shadow. When he really flinched, trying to let go of all hope, instead he approached and blocked his step that was almost gone. When he no longer cares, he shows himself.

Naya sat on the chair and put her head on the side of the bed by making her hands as a pillow, the position made her body curve forward.

"Sacrifice is a great word, although you want to love someone with everything you have and do not want to part with him, but if the owner of the soul does not want it, then you must sacrifice by giving it up. So don't give up on what you just started doing. Don't give up for no reason. Because when you give up, even before you fight. That's funny!"

A voice echoed in Naya's head as she briefly fell asleep beside Yoni's body. Yoni also seemed to be asleep. Due to the effect of the medicine he was taking, making the little boy continue to fall asleep like that to help speed up the healing process.

Dinda was still engrossed in her gadgate, when Ares appeared in the doorway. He scowled at her and grew even more upset when the man brought only a serving of rice dinner for himself.

Ares's gaze at that time was immediately fixed on the figure of the woman who slept on the side of her son's bed, he breathed a sigh of relief. His facial expression was like that of a person who had just found a lost diamond.

'Alhamdulillah. Nayya! You're here? I'm looking for you, I'm waiting at your house, I don't know you're here, Nay. Nayya! Where's your parents' house!'

"Mrs...?" he muttered while pointing Naya at Dinda. And Dinda nodded and woke Naya up.

"Nay, Naya. Let's go eat. You said you were hungry, right?" said Dinda while shaking Naya's body.

Naya got up while rubbing her face and tidying her headscarf, then moved while taking her bag on the patient's desk. As he turned his body, he saw Ares facing him. Ares was staring at Naya and their gaze locked onto each other, but only for a moment.

Deg. Suddenly Naya's heart raced faster.

'Since when he was here, and he's seen me like that. Hais, Sir! take care of that view. A man may look upon a woman if she truly intends to marry him. I've not expected much of you'

Naya looked at the box of food that was on the patient's desk which was on the side of the bed.

"We want to eat where. In here?" ask Naya.

"We eat out. You see, brother Ares brought food just a little will not be enough for both of us." said Dinda.

Naya glanced at Ares again at a glance. The man is still silent. Naya grabbed Dinda's hand as she stepped, passing Ares just like that without greeting each other, without saying another word. The two of them left Ares still there.

After Naya and Dinda came out of Yoni's room, the two of them started talking to each other.

"Dinda, later, I'll all go home, yeah. Tomorrow I'll be here early in the morning and take care of Yoni."

"The truth is, you're okay on leave, Nay?"

"What's wrong, I've never taken a day off or a day off. I called earlier, and I could have taken a week off."

"Have you spoken to my brother yet about your decision, Nay?" Dinda seemed to be getting impatient, hearing the news of the relationship between Naya and her brother. The one asked shook his head.

Dinda looks upset. Moreover, he saw the reaction of Naya and Ares who had looked unusual. They're awkward. They both seem stiff. Even Dinda was anxious to see her brother who was just silent doing nothing. Though Dinda hoped that Ares could embrace Naya or at least talk and reprimand her. His brother's attitude really disappointed him. Not manly. Uh!

The two women did not know, if Ares too, did not know what to do. If not a person who understands religion, maybe he will embrace or kiss Naya, right then and there. But he chose to take care of himself, because taking care of himself is one of the important teachings of religion.

"Why not? I'm so worried about you guys, you know? I met you earlier, why just shut up instead of talking."

"Patience, Dinda. We will also talk later. Come on ah, eat first. What do you want to order?" naya asked when she reached the hospital canteen.

"Now is not the time to eat heavy, so I order soto only. You?"

"Yes, already. Same, I'm also soto without rice, without lontong."

"Siip. No carbo, huh?"

They agreed to eat without carbo, although they were both not the fat type of women and ate large portions. Dinda's body is tall, even her height matches that of her brother Ares, and if she dresses siple like a t-shirt or trousers, then she will look very much like a man. It's just that his face is sweet and his cheeks are a bit chubby, it's a face model that's too cute to be a tomboyish woman. But fortunately now the tomboy girl was wearing Muslim clothes, until the tomboy impression was slightly reduced from her.

Women who resemble men or men who resemble women are forbidden in religion.

While Naya, her size is ordinary, she is not too tall or short, nor is she too thin or fat. His appearance has never changed since. If he works, he likes to wear a tunic suit combined with a kullot or trousers. If he is in his house he more often wears a robe and an instant veil. Although he worked in restaurants and in the cafeteria as he is now, he did not make much to eat because he was also happy to maintain his weight.

"Why don't you want to use rice, Nay, afraid of being fat?"

Hearing Dinda's question Naya shook her head, while eating the ordered food that was in front of her.

"I'll take care of the weight."

"Nay, if you're fat too, my brother still likes you, I guarantee it." said Dinda while enjoying soto in his bowl.

"I take care of my weight not because I like people. But because if I get fat, I don't have the money to buy a lot of clothes. If I am fat, my clothes are not enough. Hehe."

"Oh, yes. About earlier, why can't my mom or I talk to you directly, about your intentions."

"Eumm.. Actually the story between me and Mr. Ares is long. I met Mr. Ares once when my relationship with my husband was not good."

"That's it, weird, you're Nay!"

"Any, huh? It's si, kind of weird. But I just want to know what kind of reaction Mr. Ares has. You know for yourself, didn't I ever say it hurts to meet Mr Ares? So I need to talk to him myself."

"I'm the one who said it to you, brother?" Dinda joking.

"Don't.please, don't ya, dear Dinda."

"Haha, I'm kidding."

Things like this, cannot be represented by anyone else. He must say frankly to the person concerned, if the person concerned knows it from others, then it will be something that is not afdol only to be said again. Like repeating someone else's words.

In the past, when Naya heard from Rudian, when they were still working together, and Rudian said that he liked her, Naya was very happy, because she also liked and loved Rudian, because she also loved Rudian, even hoped Rudian would really become her husband. So, when Rudiyan expressed his love, at that time Naya asked Rudian to propose to her parents. He says frankly, what he wants and what he doesn't want.

Because, if someone really loves and wants to show his love, then that person will do whatever makes the person he loves happy. Not even a few people who demand others appreciate, and understand anything he does to his loved ones, even though it is unreasonable.

Naya said at the time that she did not want to date, but she was ready to immediately become a bride for Rudian, the man she loved. As a woman, if the man she loves is willing to be her husband, then immeasurable happiness will be felt by her. Naya continues to khusnuz and that, her household will go just as well as most of her household friends and others. No one expected such a tough test in her marriage, even before she turned ten.

After finishing dinner, Naya immediately say goodbye to Dinda to go home, by driving an online taxi. Dinda goes back to Yoni's treatment room to get her car keys, and she'll be home too.

As soon as Dinda got to the door of Yoni's ward, Ares immediately stood aghast, he was wobbly looking for someone and he asked like a bewilderment, to Dinda.

"Kok you yourself, where's Naya?"

Dinda furrowed her brows, then replied, "yes, go home, where are you going?"

"But, why don't you tell her, why don't you tell her that she wants to go home, why did you let her go home?!"

Ares seems to worry about Naya, because it is already night. Dinda stepped up while taking the keys to her car.

And Dinda replied, "Naya doesn't want to be delivered, she doesn't want me to be bothered and tired, so she uses an online taxi, don't worry."

Ck!

Ares is upset, as he expects Dinda to be back with Naya, and he can talk with her right then and there. He tries to call Naya, but her calls are ignored, although he has tried dozens of times to contact her.

"Weird, why is Brother Sump like that? Wasn't it yesterday, sister? Brother said he didn't want to see her again, how is it that you're so weird now?" dinda said while playing her car keys.

Ares held his sister's shoulder, saying, "listen yes, now Naya wants to be my children's mother."

"Oh yeah?" dinda said she did not believe it.

"Yes. Yesterday, I accidentally met Naya, at Nindy's grave, I didn't know what Naya meant. But now that I know, he meant to say that, because he wanted to be Raya and Yoni's mother."

"Yes, if I say, there. Brother wants to accept him. Accept her for who she is, sister, don't just want to benefit her for Yoni!"

"I don't use him to take care of Yoni, I love him too."

"Oh, it.l .. so big brother likes him too? if it's baby, really cute sister. Brother ever tell me what's the same with him?"

Hearing the words of Dinda Ares as realized, he never gave anything that meant to Naya, other than help and also did what could be done for her.

That's enough, isn't it?

Dinda almost laughed at her brother's sudden attitude of pecking He thought that maybe his brother was realizing something and then he patted Ares on the shoulder, saying, Maybe,

"Relax brother, tomorrow morning he's here again, he's ready to take care of Yoni, until a few days and until my nephew is ssmbuh, he's taken a leave of absence, and he's willing to help us sis."

Dinda said as she passed away, and hid her smile. He hopes that the two people he loves can live together, harmonious and happy. Despite all his hopes, he also expected happiness for himself as well.

Dinda also wants to live happily with her husband and her own household.

Is not everything we give or pray for others, it will come back to ourselves. For it is as bad as anyone behaves to us, we should pray for goodness for him. For, the do'a that we offer for others, makes us get the reward or at least the same kindness as others who we pray for.

For every time we pray good or evil for others, the angels around, who hear it, will again pray for us with the same prayer.

The angels will say, "and so will you."

Remembering the saying. Whoever plants it will be the one who plants it.

-

Next day.

Naya prepares to leave for the hospital, she accidentally cooks some pretty good food, in addition to herself she also cooks breakfast for the person who took care of Yoni last night. Whoever looks after him, he will give the breakfast he has cooked at home before.

Last night, after coming home from the hospital, he accidentally bought some raw materials, at the convenience store. And this morning, he has processed it into food that makes food that is quite inviting to taste. He also brought a little crafts just to fill his spare time. He will use the painting to entertain and play with Yoni, so that the child is entertained and can recover quickly because of the feeling of happiness.

"Assalamualaikum" said Naya as she opened the room door. He heard Yoni's whining at the same time.

As soon as the door opened, Ares was standing by the side of Yoni's bed holding her. He looked towards the door, Naya stood there awkwardly. The eyes of the two of them momentarily clashed with each other.

'Astaghfirullahal'adziim's chat. It's still morning, don't make me dry like this, sir! Please don't look at me with those eyes!'

"waalaikumsalam" Ares replied with a smile.

"Why Yoni, cry?" naya asked as she kept the big bag on the sofa, then approached the bed, she behaved as normally as possible, even trying to speak quite calmly.

"You, come here by yourself?"

"No, sir, someone's here with me."

"Who?!"
