It's so nervous. He is currently at the gate of Arthur Handoko's house.
In the paste of cardboard paper containing capital letters written on the inner gate,
...SPIRIT, MY UGLY MAS! HEALTHY AGAIN, ACTIVITY BACK. AAMYIN... JIAYO, JIAYO!...
Looks like Arthur's house is not guarded by security, because it is very quiet.
Inayah went to continue her activities that will mengampus with her matic motorcycle.
Hopefully, Arthur's operation will go well.
.............
Arthur was shocked when he opened the gate of his own house.
He currently does not have ART. So it must take care of its needs alone including opening and closing the fence back home.
His eyes are shining brightly. Her smile is beautiful.
"Dad! This must be Inayah's job!" he muttered with a good guess.
Arthur immediately hit Inayah.
...Thank you, my cute snot girl. Saranghayeo....
He was getting excited to go to the hospital and there was no longer any fear like yesterday.
...πΏπΏπΏπΏπΏ...
Like Inayah's prayer, the operation went well.
Arthur did everything without anyone, including his parents who did not know it at all.
Introverted Arthur did not tell anyone about his health condition. Only Inayah knows because they met in a Jakarta hospital when Amelia was being treated at the same hospital.
Until he was transferred to the room of the VVIP hospital there was no one to visit let alone accompany. Including their own staff.
Arthur is used to his solitude. Even during the day before entering the operating room, he had disabled his phone so that no one would contact him.
Only lately he looks so eager to be noticed by Inayah, the cute girl he often labeled is still snot it.
.............
At night, Inayah felt the same uneasiness that Arthur felt last night.
"Mom..."
"Yes, Nay?"
"mmm... Can you look at a friend who is being treated at the hospital?" inayah asked Mia after thinking hard.
"Why can't it? Visiting his sick friend Sunnah is his law, Nay. Done get the reward."
"But, Mommy..."
"But why?"
"Friends of different beliefs, how?"
"Oh my goodness, this mother's daughter. Have you forgotten the story of the Father about the friendship of the Great Prophet Muhammad SAW with a priest? Our prophet is a good friend, even with people who are not in his religion. Did you forget that story?"
Inayah smiled. Back to the memories of Kan'an, his father was still there. The four of them often tell stories. Especially his father who has extraordinary storytelling skills.
I miss those times.
Hugged tightly Mia's smiling body with shimmered netra held back the novelty.
Mia also misses her late husband.
This is increasingly making his sense of longing increasingly blundering growing.
"Wouldn't you like Isya first?" mia said with a slightly trembling voice.
"Mom..."
He knew how his mother felt. She hugged Mia again. Both of them were sobbing in silence.
Soon Mia took off her embrace and wiped the tears on Inayah's cheek.
"Check friend! He must be happy to see you care about him. Boy or girl friend?" tanya Mia made Inayah stutter.
"Le_man."
Mia's eyes are round. Smile expands.
"Friends close?"
"In_he's Mas Arthur, Mak!"
Inayah. Very afraid that Mia was angry because she had been hiding a friendship with Arthur.
Inayah rubbed both cheeks Inayah.
"Mas Arthur surgical removal of kidney stones this afternoon. She was operated on at the same hospital where Ms Yu' was being treated at the time, Mak! Inayah also met him when visiting Yu's mother'. We. open communication again. Sorry..., Mom! But swear to God, Inayah did not have intense communication with her. Just.. Last night he chatted Inay. Inay love reply spirit. Here, here's the chat if Mak doesn't believe me."
Inayah thrust her hape after successfully unlocking her password and entering her WhatsApp realm.
Mia chuckles.
Cheek pecked the youngest daughter's cheek.
"Thank you for keeping my trust! I believe Inayah! Hehe..."
"He.. pity, Mom! He. operating alone. It seems that he did not tell the state of himself who was sick with blockage. Inay, Inay just feels sorry. She's so lonely and her life looks empty, Mom! Hik hik hiks! Inay hid our friendship for a few days. Hik hicks..."
Inayah crying.
Mia was getting anxious to see the anxiety that Inayah felt.
"Check him! Love him support! As long as you don't overdo it! Don't be too familiar, too, be friends. Especially he's an adult. It's wider than you, son! She's kind. He values us because we value him. Rama also had a lot of stories about Mak about him who likes to be in touch with our family."
"Mom, hik hik hiks..thank you Mak!"
Inayah hugged Mia's body. Sobbing louder makes Gaga so out of the room hear the noise.
"Mbak Inay? Why?" ask Gaga.
The boy is big. He could already guess and see everything with his eyes and heart as well.
"Is there anything badin', Ma'am Inay, Mommy? Wh who? Whoishe? Let's be Gaga's business!"
Mia smiling. The clasping of Gaga's hands.
In Mia's heart proud and happy. His sons had a high sense of empathy for his brothers.
"It's okay. Ma'am Inay is just talking to Mama! Hehe..."
"Why, Ma'am? Does anyone deny his love, huh?"
"Haish.. You are, Ga!" inayah quickly wiped her tears. Embarrassed by Gaga who actually paid attention to her.
"Mother fell in love?" goda Gaga's.
"Dragon!!! Mak, Gaga, it's Mak, it's kumat!" inayah's whining made Mia laugh.
"Falling in love is okay, Nay. Normal koq's. As long as you fall in love, look around first, Nduk!" seloroh Mia increasingly made Inayah shudder and run away, run into the room.
Degan's heart.
His heart is beating unbecoming.
In love? In love with Arthur? O Allah gustiii...
Netra Inayah dimmed considering Mia's words just now.
Falling in love is okay. Normal. As long as you fall in love, look around first, Nduk!
Then..., if I fall in love with Mas Arthur, I'll see! I should've thought through it! That's what Mak means, right? He is much older than Lukman. Even older than Yu' Amelia. Please remove the love in my heart if it is true, O God!
Unknowingly, there were clear circles falling on both sides of Inayah's cheeks.
Sadness of his heart. But he can't do anything.
.............
Next day.
"So Nay looks up to Mas Arthur?" tanya Mia before leaving for the Capital works at Amelia's restaurant as well as her business dealings with Fanny Sang Besan.
He was silent and did not answer.
"Why?" ask Mia again.
"Some, Mak!"
"Come in! Take a few hours, it's okay. There are no classes today, right? After looking at Arthur, stop by your Mbak Yu's restaurant. Please buy dragon fruit with Ambon bananas as well before going to the restaurant. Yea?"
"Mom..."
"Why?"
"Daddy at home."
"Why? Do you feel bad about Mom?"
Inayah.
"Hape was also inactive from last night. Could it..."
"Are we both looking?"
The two looked at each other.
