The Story of the Children of the Juragan
150. Find a soul mate for a child
Mama Margaretha smiled faintly at Fatim's reply. Because his parents took good care of his son.
"Is that why Leon came to your house?"
Fatim chuckled little hearing that.
"Yesterday, Leon said he wanted to see me. But I refused it. I don't want to go out with a man often.
He kept wanting to meet me. Finally Fatim told papa about brother Leon who wants to play at home.
Papa allowed it, and it turned out that Leon was serious about going to my house. Being bored at home there are no friends. Aunt Melati and her new husband umrah.
But ill-fated, when I just got to the gate, brother Leon was like that. Fatim was so bad and felt guilty. All because of Fatim.
If Fatim had not told Leon's brother to come home, it might not have happened." Fatim's face turned sad when he remembered the incident.
Mama Margaretha also let out a long sigh. And put his hand on the hand of Fatim.
"Maybe all that is indeed the destiny that must be lived by Auntie's child. You don't have to be sad like that. You also want to be devoted to your parents." Fatim nodded his head.
The mood was silent again. Each one set his heart and mind.
"Feeling a mother is strong. Looks like Auntie's son likes you."
Fatim raised his head, venturing into the face of a woman who was the same age as his mother.
"That's impossible, Tan. We have only met a few times. And we first met at Wulan's house."
"Hem, do you know? The affairs of the heart cannot be forced."
Fatim again lowered his head, while digesting the speech of the woman beside him. How could a liking come so quickly?
"Now tell Auntie, do you like her too?"
Fatim shook his head. Because he sure does not like men who are different religions with him.
"Seriously?"
"In shaa Allah Fatim is serious, Tan."
"Then why do you want to accompany him as long as we haven't come? And Auntie see, you also had a tear when you saw Leon's condition."
"For whatever reason, Auntie will do what makes Auntie's child happy. Because he had already suffered because his love with Wulan was not fulfilled. Plus, he suffered a tragic event like that. Aunt is grateful she can still live. And want to make her happy." Fatim mangosteen heard the expression of the heart of the woman beside him.
"If Leon's cured, do you want to accept Leon?"
Fatim immediately choked. Margaret got up from her seat and took some mineral water, and offered it to Fatim.
The girl accepted, then quickly gulped after praying. After he relaxed enough, Margaret asked the same question again.
"Sorry, Aunt. Fatim cannot answer that now. Because in the heart of Fatim there is no love for Leon's brother. If for example Fatim likes him, but must break the barrier. Better Fatim step down. Let the soul be God's secret. So that no heart will hurt each other because of a promise. Again forgive Fatim if the impression Fatim patronized, Aunt."
"It's okay. Aunt understands. It was just a question." Fatim was also bearded.
"Oh yeah, it's lunchtime. Fatim call the pantry employee first, Tan." Fatim immediately sent a message to the employees.
"There's no need to bother like that, son." Fatim looked at her for a while while smiling faintly.
"No hassle, Tan."
In the middle of the silence of the two, again a voice Leon who groaned and called the name Fatim. Both of them came closer.
Shortly after, a doctor and nurse came into the room after saying their greetings.
They approached and checked Leon's condition.
"How's the condition, doc? He kept on delirious for a while." asked Mama Margaret.
"The influence of the anesthetic is slowly disappearing. If he keeps delirious, and what is said is indeed a fact, it is a sign that his memory is still good.
But if it is spoken at will by itself, it is a sign that his memory is reduced.
And to restore his memory, his family must often invite him to tell stories. That's great for stimulating his brain to work.
And certainly as a family must continue to give great encouragement, so that patients are also excited.
Instead, also avoid things that make him think too deeply, or things that do not upset his heart. Because it can make his spirit decrease. And slow down the healing process."
"Thank you, doc. For the explanation." said mama Margaret.
"Together, ma'am." replied the doctor with a friendly smile.
