You Are My Sunshine
The Part 288
The next day, Dara came back to the hospital. There was already a servant who used to take care of her mother, while her aunt said goodbye to go home first to her city to prepare the needs for her husband who was also sick and promised to come back in the next few days.
“Bu, I'm coming.” Dara pulled out a chair and sat down beside the bed.
Aruna opened her eyes when she heard her son's voice. A smile rose on his weak face, but today his face had a slight hue as pale as yesterday.
“From.” Aruna held out a hand stroking Dara's cheek. “He still does not believe, thank God for still giving me the opportunity to meet my Son, my daughter who has an extraordinary heart, who even came again to see a bad mother like me,”, he said, regret always seemed to swarm from the look of his eyes.
“Don't think too much. Now focus on healing, focus on restoring your health,” said Dara sincerely.
“Tell me about yourself, son. Your aunt said you were married?” asked Aruna who then held Dara's hand.
“Yes, I am married, and have also become a Mother.” Dara answered with a clear happy twinkle, whenever talking about her husband and child, her heart always felt like a garden filled with beautiful flowers with millions of butterflies flying to and fro.
“So, I already have a grandson.” Aruna smiled broadly with joy. “Oh yes, where is your husband?"
“Daughter of a mother, her name is Selena, she is cute and pretty. His face looks a lot like my husband, only his hair looks like mine.” Dara pursed her lips then gave a smile. “My husband works here, he's a doctor. He's an amazing man who's always been as loyal by my side as I am. Doctor Wira Aryasatya.”
“Doctor Hero? Mother often heard it because it has been quite a long time treated here, she is one of the most talked about doctors because of her greatness.” Aruna looked proudly at her daughter, also so grateful when she saw the water Dara when telling stories always full of joy, it was definitely her son happy with his marriage.
“It may be difficult to bring Selena here, as it is forbidden to bring the baby to a special care room. But if you want, we can make a video call now, Selena is at home with the nanny.”
“Yes, video calls are okay. I want to see it,” he replied enthusiastically.
Dara picks up her phone from inside the bag, makes a video call to Ms. Rina and asks to turn the camera on Selena. The adorable baby was playing in her playroom with the nanny, Ms. Rina held Selena in her arms and turned the phone screen to the front of the baby.
Selena was so happy to see her face on the screen, she was mumbling in baby language and patting the screen. Dara leaned closer to her face beside Aruna and positioned the phone in front of them.
“So this is Mom's grandchild? beautiful once.” Aruna rubbed the screen with her trembling hands. “Halo Selena... This is Grandma, baby,” she said full day, her eyes began to glaze over.
Long enough they make a video call, until then the officer who delivers lunch for patients enters the room. Dara finished her call, took a tray of food onto the bed, arranged the bed so that her mother's position was more upright.
“Let's eat first Ma'am. Although not lustful, but you must still eat, so as to quickly recover.” Dara took a spoonful of porridge to the front of her mother's mouth.
Aruna knew very well his condition, recovering as usual like wishful thinking for him. Swallowing food is getting harder by the day, the stomach seems to refuse, creating severe nausea. However, now a glimmer of hope grows in his heart, hoping God still gives him a longer time to be able to enjoy the togetherness with his son who used to be wasted.
“Mom will eat a lot, because you are the one who feeds.”
