The Mother Connect
Chapter 69

A few years ago....

It was Kinara's birthday. Wrapped in a pink dres and princess-like crown in a fairy tale, Kinara is already preparing to celebrate her birthday today.

"Tante, today mama and papa come home right? They're going to celebrate Nara's birthday, right?" little Kinara asked as she sauntered in front of the mirror after putting on her shoes.

"Yes, Honey. Your mom and dad are already ngabarin Auntie, if they are currently on the road. And it will probably arrive home in about 3 or 4 hours" Reni replied as she looked at her watch.

"Well still a long time dong, Auntie," said the little Kinara while pouting.

"It won't be long if Nara stays with friends. Later on your papa mama you come home, then we blow the candle," said Reni.

"Nara wants to change clothes first. Ntar Nara will replace with dres once mom and dad get home." Kinara took off the dres she wore and replaced it with a tee shirt and knee-high toenote pants.

"Yes, it's up to you. But, as soon as mama-papa comes home, change clothes again huh?" sahut Reni's. He let his nephew do what he wanted. The more prevented, Kinara will definitely fight back.

4 Hours had passed, Kinara's friends had also come. However, both of Kinara's parents had yet to arrive home. Little Kinara whined to tell her aunt to call them.

"Tante let's hunt mama and papa's phone. Ask when they get home! Look at Nara's friends already on the not at home, Auntie!" Kinara sulked asking her aunt to call.

"Dear Nara. No need to. Aunty sure mama and papa Nara will be here soon. If we call them, they panic again." Reni was still trying to persuade her nephew to be patient.

"But, Nara wants to talk to mom and dad, Auntie. Nara wants to ask themselves where are they?" Kinara was still whining. Not having the heart to see his nephew continue sulking, Reni finally wanted to call Kinara's parents.

"Hallo, Mommy. It's Reni. Where did Ma and Mas Herman get to? Nara has been whining from earlier," said Reni as soon as the phone connection was missed.

"Mbak's still a little far from home, Ren. Maybe we'll be late. You help persuade Nara yes, comfort her until Ma'am and Mas Herman arrive home" replied Ibu Kinara from the other end. Kinara's mother was named Kasih.

Kinara pulled Reni's shirt and asked her aunt to give her the phone.

"This is Ma'am, Nara wants to talk to Ma'am." Reni gave the mobile phone in her hand to Kinara.

"Mama, Papa, when are you coming home? Why haven't you reached home yet?" ask Kinara.

"Dear, sorry. Maybe mom and dad are a little late. Nara can blow out the candles just like Aunt Reni and Om Susanto. Later if papa and mama have reached home, we can blow the candle again. Okay, Honey?" say Love gently from the end there.

"No way, anyway Nara want to blow the candle waiting for mama and papa to come home," refused Kinara.

"But, Honey. Maybe mom and dad will be home a little night. Pity the temen-temsnya if you have to wait for mama and papa," persuaded Kasih.

"No want! Anyway if mom and dad haven't reached home yet, Nara won't want to blow out the candles!" sumpul Kinara's. The little girl returned the phone to Reni. He then went into the room.

"Hallo, Mommy. Naranya. He went into the room."

"Ren, help persuade Nara. Ma'am and Mas Herman try to get there before the show ends!" pinta Kasih to her younger brother.

"Yes, Ma'am" replied Reni.

As he was about to close the call, he heard the voice of his sister-in-law talking to his sister.

"Why, Nara, Ma?" herman asked his wife.

"Nara, lash, Mas. He's in the room now."

"That kid wouldn't want to get out of the room if we hadn't gotten home yet."

"Mas, don't speed!" the voice of Love asked her husband not to speed.

"We need to get home quickly. Poor Nara. It's a day he's waiting for, but we're not home yet. She must be sad. Especially this is his first birthday celebration."

Yes, during this time Kinara did not celebrate a massive birthday because of the financial condition of both parents are difficult. His business went bankrupt and the two tried to rise so that their daughter would not feel distress. And thank God after the hard work of Herman and Kasih this year their financial condition has improved as before. Finally, the two agreed to celebrate Kinara's birthday. They want to leave beautiful memories for their daughter's childhood alone before she reaches adolescence.

"Yes, Mas. But, don't speed up danger either!" The voice of love rebuked her husband.

And Reni's face turned pale upon hearing her brother's scream.

"Revelation, Mas!"

The scream echoed in Reni's ears. Along with that, the phone connection was cut off.

"Mbak, Ma'am Kasih. Hello Ma'am! You guys are okay, right? Ma'am, Ma'am!" Reni kept trying to dial her sister and sister-in-law numbers in turn. However, the two numbers could not be reached.

"Mas, the phone numbers of Ms. Kasih and Mas Herman could not be reached" Reni replied with a panicked face.

"Maybe they're passing through a difficult area of signal. Or their phones are running out of power" Susanto replied.

"But, Mas. That day I heard Mbak Kasih yelling 'watch' then I also heard a bang. I'm afraid they're okay, Mas" replied Reni.

"Ren, don't think anything. I'm sure they're fine, '" Susanto tried to calm down. "Ohya, where's Nara? Are his friends on nyariin?"

"He was in his room was crashing because Mbak Kasih and Mas Herman arrived late," replied Reni.

"Yes, let's persuade him to blow out the candles first. Poor fellows have been waiting a long time!"

Reni sighed. Although still worrying about his brother and sister-in-law, he also had the responsibility to persuade his nephew.

"alright. Come, Mas. We'll persuade Nara!"

Reni and Susanto went to Kinara's room. The two knocked on the door of the little girl's room while continuing to persuade her. Unfortunately the stubborn Kinara remained unwilling to blow out the candles before his parents returned home. And Reni and Susanto had to send Kinara friends who came to enjoy the dish without a candle.

All the guests who came back to their homes, except Reno. In addition to the place where she lived right next door to Kinara's house, she did not want to leave before giving a happy birthday and a gift to her best friend.

"You don't want to go home yet?" susanto asked Reno who was sitting on one of the empty benches in the living room. The boy shook his head.

"I'm waiting for Nara. Give a gift to Nara" replied Reno.

"It won't leave the room until his mother comes home. Here put the same Om only. You're likely the new mama-pa Nara will arrive home early tomorrow."

Reno looked at the gift in her hand and saw the door of Kinara's room that was still tightly closed. He also knew his best friend would not go out of the room before the things he wanted were fulfilled.

"alright. Here, Om. Titip for Nara ya." Reno handed the gift in her hand to Susanto.

And just before Reno left, Reni got a call from the police who told her that the car carrying Kasih and Herman had a single accident on the highway. Both drivers died on the spot with serious burns as the car exploded.

Reni immediately knocked on her nephew's room door.

"Nara out! Nara is out!" reni shouted as he banged on Kinara's room door.

Chequek.

Door opened.

"What's up Auntie? Are mom and dad here?" kinara asked with a happy face thinking that both her parents had arrived home.

"Your satisfaction? Are you satisfied doing this?" sentak Reni's.

Kinara was certainly confused by his tantalizing attitude.

"What's up, Auntie? Why is Auntie angry with Nara?"

"Because of you, Ma'am Kasih and Herman had an accident. It's all because of you!" rani replied while shouting.

"Accident?" Kinara was shocked to hear the news.

"Yes, your mom and dad were in an accident and they died. It's all because of you! If only you hadn't whined, they wouldn't have speeded. It's your fault Nara it's your fault!" Reni kept pointing at Kinara with her index finger.

"No! That's not true! Mom and Dad are not dead. That's not true! That's not true!" Kinara was hysterical while covering both her ears. "No!"

***

Kinara woke up with a gasp of breath. His face was pale and sweat flooded the entire body.

"Honey. You all right?" ask Tama. He was waiting for Kinara to wake up and approach his wife.

Instead of answering Tama's question, Kinara cried.

"Mama, Papa, sorry Nara. Sorry, Nara!" ogre. Kinara covered her face with both palms.

"Darling, it's out of your control. It's not your fault." Tama pulls Kinara into the deck.

Kinara still did not reply. He shook his head as he continued to sob without saying a word.
