It's been a week since Meyta's leg was amputated. But it seems that the woman has not been fully able to accept her imperfect condition. The woman was still crying at midnight and Wirra was always trying to calm her. The man even deliberately worked from the hospital in order to continue to monitor the physical and mental health condition of the wife.
Once in a while Pearl visited Meyta with her grandmother. In fact, every weekend, Mutiara willingly accompany Wirra stay at the hospital.
The little girl even deliberately prepared the food she cooked herself for her mother.
“Omelette is Rara herself who cook, Ma. Mama likes omelette, right? Rara learned to cook omelette because of tau, in addition to soto and perkedel, mama likes omelette,” said Mutiara while trying to feed her mother.
Meyta glanced at her first daughter, then her gaze turned to Pearl's artificial omelette. Meyta smiled slightly. His first child was a teenager. The little girl was even able to make a dish. Meyta felt grateful for that.
“Come to eat, Ma. Aaaak...,” said Mutiara while offering a spoonful of food to her mother. Meyta accepted the bribe.
“Nak right, Ma?”
Meyta answered him by nodding her head slowly. The pearl smiled sumringah when he saw the nod of the mother.
“Then mama has to eat a lot huh. Mama must recover quickly. Mama should get home quickly. Rara and Arka miss mom at home. Especially Arka. Did mama not miss Arka?”
Meyta's tears came. How could she not miss that little baby? Every second that she passed Meyta always felt pain because she missed both of her children. More Arkana. Every chest felt full of ASI (Mother's Milk Water), Meyta always cried and remembered Arkana.
The pearl hugged the mother who was found crying. “Mama must also miss Arka very much, yes?” ask the little girl. In the arms of the child, Meyta nodded her head.
“Then, mama should eat a lot, let quickly recover and meet Arka at home.”
Meyta also obeyed the words of Pearl. Since that afternoon, Meyta always ate voraciously. The woman was trying to recover quickly so she could regroup with her two children at home.
After two weeks of hospital treatment, Meyta was allowed to return to her home.
Arriving at home, Anna immediately greeted him. Meyta's face, which was so bright during the trip because she could not wait to meet Arkana, suddenly bent her face because the first person she saw was not Arkana, but the woman she hated so much.
“I'm glad you've been able to go home. Arka misses you so much. He always points at your photos every day,” Anna said.
Meyta certainly didn't respond to it. Not only Anna, Meyta had not even spoken since two days after surgery.
“Arka again sleep, let me help you to the room,” Anna said.
“No need, An. Let me take Meyta. You can help mom and Rara bring things, right?”
Anna nodded while smiling gently. Wirra pushed the wheelchair and took Meyta to their room.
Meyta's tears immediately spilled when she was in front of the baby box where Arkana slept.
“Come, I'll help you get to bed and change clothes. After that I will bring Arka to sleep next to you,” explained Wirra. Meyta nodded slowly.
The woman immediately kissed the baby once Arkana was within her reach.
...----------------...
The days passed, and the prosthetic leg for Meyta was finally done. The woman was asked by the doctor to make adjustments to her prosthetic leg.
However, poor cannot be avoided. The prosthetic leg Meyta received, was no match for her. Meyta often felt pain when using the prosthetic leg.
“We will adjust it again so that Bu Meyta feels comfortable using this prosthetic leg.”
Meyta waited a few weeks before her new prosthetic leg was finished.
The misalignment of the prosthetic leg, made Meyta even more silent. The woman did not interact with anyone. In fact, responding with a smile, nod or shake, Meyta did not do. The woman was completely silent. His eyes often look empty.
Even when Arkana was crying, the woman did not try to calm him down.
That day, Pearl was on school holiday after facing a week-long exam. Wirra decided to stay one night at Anna's residence.
Pearl and her grandmother were in the kitchen preparing lunch. Arkana cried from falling out of bed. Fortunately, the bed was not too high so it did not cause injury to Arkana.
Pearl and her grandmother thought, Arkana's cry soon subsided because there was Meyta there. However, after almost ten minutes, the cry of the five-month-old baby did not subside.
On the orders of the grandmother, Pearl rushed to the mother's bedroom. How shocked the Pearl was when she saw Arkana lying on the floor with a little bump on her forehead.
“Ma ... Why did you just shut up to see Arka fall? Look Arka, Ma, his head is bumpy,” the pearl while rubbing the lump on the forehead of the sister slowly.
The pearl carried her sister into her arms until Arkana's cry subsided.
However, this time, it was even the tears of the broken Pearl.
The girl who grew up as a teenager could not see the reaction of the mother who was just silently staring with her blank look.
Watching the eyes of the mother who was getting empty from day to day, made the heart of Pearl so sick. Never imagined by him, the mother who had looked so strong had become very fragile.
Pearl also approached the beloved mother while carrying Arkana.
“Ma ... Rara and Arka longed for my mom's smile. Rara even misses once with the nagging mama,” shriek the little girl. The pearl hugged her mother.
“We love mom.” very much
A pearl that could not resist the feeling of haru, gushed off the hug and ran away from the mother's room while holding Arkana. The pearl sobbed as soon as it arrived in the kitchen.
“Why Ra?” ask the grandmother.
The pearls did not answer. The little girl gives Arkana to her grandmother and borrows her grandmother's cell phone and calls Wirra. However, the man's phone was inactive.
Not losing his mind, Mutiara then contacted his favorite stepmother. Lama Mutiara contacted Anna, but the woman never answered him.
“What papa and mother Anna will leave us?”
The little girl cried hysterically to the point of making her grandmother feel confused. In fact, Meyta also heard very clearly the cry of the firstborn child.
“What's Ra? What was? Why are you like this?” ask the grandmother to panic.
