Mila stopped her steps after arriving at the living room.
"We talked here, Mil. It's gonna taste better!" said Holy Ma'am.
"Yes, Mom."
"Sit Mil!"
Mila then sat down near the Holy Mother.
Such were the days of Mila during the illness of Holy Mother. In addition to doing homework, he must also take care and serve all the needs of the Holy Mother.
Starting from accompanying him sunbathing every morning, preparing meals, leading him to the bathroom and others. And that activity Mila did until night. Because Holy Mother can't do anything by herself. After the Holy Mother slept, then Mila could rest.
Because of Mila's busyness, making Mila forget her son Aluna.
"If you miss Aluna, you call Ms. Retno" said Ms. Suci.
"Aluna is school today. He's definitely not home."
"Yes try the phone. You haven't called Miss Retno in a long time. At least you're wondering how he is doing now. However, he was once your father-in-law. Even though you and Adnan are divorced, I hope you keep the friendship line with Adnan's mother."
Mila smile. Holy Mother is a good person. He is rich, but he is generous and wise. So at the age of no longer young, he is still respected by many people including his employees in the office.
"Yes Mom. I'm gonna go get me a hape first."
Mila got up from her seat. After that he walked to the side porch of the house to pick up his cell phone that was on the table. After that Mila went back to see the Holy Mother in the middle room.
"Come call Miss Retno now. You asked Aluna about her."
"Yes, Mom."
Mila then pressed the number of Bu Retno.
Moments later, Ms. Retno's voice was heard from behind the phone.
"Hello, assalamualaikum."
"Wa'alakiumsalam Ma'am. Miss Retno how are you?"
"Mila's. Tumben you called."
"I miss Aluna Ma'am. I want to know how Aluna is doing."
"Aluna was in her room. He's sick Mil."
"ill? Aluna is sick, ma'am?"
"It's been three days of not going down."
"Astaghfirullahaladhim's chat. Why is Aluna sick?"
"Mom doesn't know either. You see, ever since I got sick, I've been paying less attention to Aluna."
"Mother's sick? what's sick mom?"
"Mother's been diagnosed with Mil's lung disease."
"Oh God, Mom. The patient is Mom."
"Yes. Hence, once a week the mother has to go to the hospital for control."
"If you're sick, who takes care of Aluna Bu? does Monika want to take care of Aluna?"
"Not Mil. Where would Monika take care of your child. He does not love your son. He just loves Adnan. The proof, he did not want the attention of Aluna. But you're calm, Aluna's fine because there's Sulis."
"Write? who's Sulis?"
"New helpers in this house. But she's good with Aluna."
"So Aluna wants Sulis?"
"Yes. He's sick as well as Sulis who takes care. Because Monika is now spoiled. He doesn't want to help with homework. He can only eat sleep at Mil's here."
"What time is Mom?"
"Yes. Especially now that she is pregnant. The promise is not fixed."
"So Monika is pregnant. How many months is it, Mom?"
"Almost three months."
"Oh thank goodness then. And it's lucky that anyone would want to be nice to my son like Sulis."
"Yes Mil. Thankfully there is Sulis here. So we're not all that troubled."
"Mom, can I talk to Aluna?"
"But the Moon just slept Mila. He just took the medicine."
"Yes. Is the Holy Mother dying?"
"Already Mom. The pain in his leg had started to improve a bit. Just a walk exercise."
"Thank God. Say hi to Holy Mother. Mom hang up the phone. Assalamualaikum."
"Wa'alakiumsalam."
After the phone line was cut off, Mila put her phone on the table.
"How's Mil? what did Miss Retno say?" ask Holy Ma.
"Aluna is sick, ma'am. The heat has been three days has not been down" replied Mila.
"O Allah is very sorry."
"And Miss Retnoya is also sick. So he can't take care of Aluna."
"So who now takes care of Aluna?"
"Write. He said his new maid Mas Adnan."
The Holy Mother kept quiet and started thinking.
Poor Mila, because she was busy taking care of me, she got away with her son. And now his son is sick.
The Holy Mother looked at Mila fixedly.
"Mil, you and Zaki should be there tomorrow to see Aluna's condition."
"Yes Mom. But whose mother will be the same? do you want to come with us?"
"Mother herself is okay too. Thank you, Bik Inah tomorrow has come."
"Yes Mom. I'll go there and see Aluna."
****
This morning Zaki, Mila and Holy Mother were already in the dining room. They enjoyed their breakfast this morning.
"Zak, when does Bik Inah want to come here?" ask Holy Ma'am to Zaki.
"I don't know Ma. He said it today. Maybe if it's not noon it will be afternoon" replied Zaki.
Mila looked at Holy Ma'am and Zaki alternately.
"Who the hell is Bik Inah, has he ever worked here before?" ask Mila curious. Because since then, Holy Mother and Zaki are still talking about Bik Inah.
"Yes. Bik Inah's the maid who used to work the longest here. He worked here when Zaki's father was alive. And he now wants to go back to work here again" explained Holy Mother.
"Oh..." Mila manggut-manggut understand .
On the sidelines of the chew, Holy Mother looked at Zaki fixedly.
"Zaki, when do you have time?" ask Holy Ma.
Zaki furrowed his brows.
"Time for what Ma?"
"Aluna is sick. Can you get Mila to meet Aluna?"
Zaki was shocked when he heard the words of Holy Mother.
"What! Aluna's sick? Aluna is sick, is she Ma?"
"Mama doesn't know either. He said he had a fever. But it has been three days of heat is not down" explained Holy Mother.
Zaki looked at Mila. She feels disappointed in Mila, because Mila never told her anything about Aluna.
"Kok you never told me that Aluna was sick Mil?"
"Sorry Mas. I did not intentionally say about this, because I was afraid that you might be thinking of Aluna."
"Mila, you are my future wife, and Aluna is also my child. If there's anything with Aluna, you should have told me I'm Mil."
"I'm sorry, Mas. I really don't want to take your medication. And I can't leave my mom alone at home. If you go who will take care of you. You work and you come home late."
"Mom can come. We went there with Aluna. If necessary, we bring Aluna to stay here again" Zaki suggested.
It seems that Zaki is very worried about Aluna's condition.
On the sidelines of Zaki, Holy Mother and Mila chatted, a knock on the front door was heard from outside the house.
"I opened the door first Mas, Mom," said Mila.
