A Hope Above the Wait

3. Appeal and Keep feeling

The next day, as usual with the loneliness of Sunday. Jasmine was making tea for herself, then she sat down on the sofa in the living room enjoying a cup of tea.

As he was enjoying the tea, his house bell rang for several times, then a woman from outside the house called out to him several times. The woman was Ayan's mother, at that moment the tears from Ayan's mother continued to flow through her eyes.

When Jasmine had opened the door, Jasmine looked surprised because she saw Ayan's mother grieving in front of her house. Realizing that Jasmine had already opened the door of the house, Ayan's mother immediately folded her hands in front of her chest with her head lowered and pleaded with Jasmine.

"Son Jasmine, I beg you. Please, give Ayan a chance to get your love. I don't care if Ayan has to wait and wait for your love" said Ayan's mother sadly and her hands folded in front of her chest. After that, to plead to Jasmine he even willingly sat in front of Jasmine with both legs bent to the knees. Seeing that, Jasmine who felt younger than Ayan's mother, immediately helped Ayan's mother get up from her seat and invited Ayan's mother into the house.

When the two of them were already inside the house, Jasmine invited Ayan's mother to sit on her sofa in the living room.

"What's up Auntie? What happened to Ayan? Why would Auntie do that just to persuade Jasmine?" jasmine asked in confusion with the attitude of Mother Ayan who suddenly came to her house with tears.

Hearing that remark, Ayan's mother looked towards Jasmine. He then held onto one of Jasmine's hands gently.

"I know, you're hard to accept Ayan, Jasmine. But... But I beg you, please try to give her a second chance. I don't care if Ayan has to wait for you to get your love, but I'm really begging you to give Ayan a second chance!" pinta Ayan's mother was kind to Jasmine who was currently sitting before her.

Hearing that remark, Jasmine returned a soft hand to Ayan's mother. Then he took a breath and he exhaled slowly.

"Tante, sorry... Jasmine could not do it. I can't ask anyone else to wait or wait. Because it's... Those two things are the things that hurt the heart, and besides that it will also make everything not okay!" jasmine replied well then she paused for a while. He then let go of his hand and got up from his seat to make a drink for Ayan's mother. However, when he was just about to stand up, Ayan's mother pulled Jasmine back until Jasmine again sat on the sofa in front of Ayan's mother.

"I know that you won't allow others to feel what you feel, but what should I do? You are a mother, you can do anything for your child. Ayan is my only child, please give him a second chance to get your love. It doesn't matter if he has to wait, let me bear the consequences later," Ayan's mother replied sadly to Jasmine. Jasmine who saw that also smiled at Ayan's mother with glassy eyes.

"I'll try it, however... I'm sorry Auntie, I didn't promise I'd really love Ayan!."

Hearing that answer, Ayan's mother smiled at Jasmine and then said goodbye to Jasmine going home.

Just as he was about to return home, a black and luxurious car appeared to arrive at Jasmine's house. Then, a few moments later a handsome man who was none other than Firman got out of the car. When he sees Ayan's mother's presence in Jasmine's house, he remained silent for a while, but after that he continued his activities where he approached the other door of his car to open the door for the little girl.

A little while later, Jasmine came out of the house and she looked happy to see the arrival of the little girl who was so fast. Seeing her mother coming out of the house, Samira the little girl got out of the car and rushed to her mother. And a while later, with a slow step the Word also followed close to Mother Ayan and Jasmine.

Just then Jasmine looks unconcerned for the two, she only cares about tightly hugging Samira and kissing Samira for a few moments.

When Firman was near Mother Ayan, Firman was silent with eyes that looked sad with occasional look at Jasmine who looked happy with the arrival of Samira.

Seeing the sadness in the eyes of the Word, without saying another word to Jasmine Mother Ayan immediately left the Word and Jasmine.

Seeing that, Jasmine was just silent with the occasional eye view of Ayan's mother and occasionally looked towards the Word who looked sad.

Unlike Jasmine, Firman continued to look at Ayan's mother who went away from her without saying a word.

Not long after, Samira let go of her embrace and went to her room happily. Seeing Samira's departure, Jasmine approached Word who was still looking at Mother Ayan who was not seen before her eyes.

"What's up?" jasmine asked by holding one of the Word's shoulders. Word who saw it immediately looked at Jasmine by answering the headband with a small smile on her lips.

"Not as usual, why are you sad to see Ayan's mother?" continued words from Jasmine after seeing the answer Word who only shook his head.

"It's nothing," Firman replied nicely while standing beside Jasmine with the slightest glare of eyes not looking towards Jasmine.

Seeing that, Jasmine also released her hand that held the shoulder of Word. He then invited the Word into his house.

While in the house, Jasmine was seen making coffee for the Word, on the other hand the Word was sitting with a face that looks dim after seeing Mother Ayan from the house of Jasmine.

Moments later, Samira comes with a doll he tells Firman that the doll he brought he got from Ayan. He was very fond of the doll, seeing that Word who had bought a doll for Samira also asked about the doll to Samira.

"Samira, if you're me with the doll bought by Om Ayan, do you love it or not with the doll you bought for you?" ask the Word to Samira.

"I also love the doll that Dad bought, only I'm not as dear as the doll that Om Ayan bought," replied Samira honestly and still innocently.

Hearing the answer from Samira, Firman was a little sad as well as Jasmine. However, at that time Firman tried to stay calm and he tried to laugh in front of his son after hearing the words from Samira.

Moments later, Samira returned to her room to see it, carrying a tray containing a cup of tea for the Word, Jasmine approached the Word. After that he sat down near the Word with eyes looking toward the Word.

"No papa, you don't worry!" answer the Word well then he gave a small smile on his lips by continuing to drink coffee that had been made by Jasmine.

Hearing the answer coming out of the mouth of the Word, Jasmine also just smiled and she also did not say another word.

Time passed by so quickly, Word, Samira and Jasmine stood in front of the house. At that time it was seen the Word would go home.

"Papa, forgive Samira yes because Samira only one day stay with Papa," said the little girl to Firman with a sad face.

Hearing that, Firman lowered his body and sat down parallel to Samira who was still a child. He then held Samira's cheek gently and affectionately.

"No papa, honey. Papa knows that you would rather stay with your mother, Papa doesn't matter" replied the Word kindly to Samira.

"Not that I don't like living with Papa, I just always miss the doll I got from Om Ayan, yesterday Samira forgot to bring it..." Hearing the words of Samira who kept saying about Ayan, Firman looked sad again. Realizing that, Jasmine stops Samira by giving a slight snatch to Samira.

"Samira is enough, keep your father feeling," Jasmine snapped to Samira to make Samira sad. He then lowered his body and sat in line with Samira. He then held Samira's arms affectionately.

"I'm sorry, Samira. Mom yelled at you, I'm really sorry. But listen to me, he's Father Word, he's your father but why? Why do you you always say about Om Ayan? You must keep Papa's feelings."

Hearing that remark, Samira looked still sad. At that time Jasmine was also saddened by what Samira was doing. Her tears also came to see what she saw.

Seeing that, Firman is seen waking up from his seat by trying to cover up his sadness in front of Samira and Jasmine.

"No papa, Jasmine!."

"Papa, Samira apologizes to Papa. Samira has hurt Papa" said Samira sadly after he walked past his mother and approached the Word.

Jasmine who saw that, she was still sad. He then got up from his seat and saw Samira who was tightly embracing the Word. Seeing that, Firman again subdued his body and hugged Samira tightly. Samira who saw it he cried and he could not help his tears that kept on breaking down flowing down his cheeks.

"No papa, Dad doesn't matter to Samira," Firman said kindly to Samira with him giving a tight hug.

After a while hugging Word released his embrace and he stood with reddened eyes holding back his sadness.

"Thank you, you've allowed me to take Samira home."

Jasmine who saw that she only gave a small smile to the Word. After that Firman walked into his car and got into the car.

When Firman was in the car, he saw Samira waving her hand at him. Seeing that, the Word also returned a wave of hands for a while. He then smiles at Samira and drives off his car.

Realizing that Firman's car had gone, Jasmine also invited Samira into the house well Samira also obeyed her mother.

****

In the way of the Word, who was driving the car suddenly stopped. He looked sad, drop after drop of tears fell down the cheeks of the Word. He constantly remembers what Samira said that he looked more affectionate to Ayan than to him.

With deep sadness, Firman hit the steering wheel to vent his grief and resentment. However, what can make this is a mistake made by him, then he must accept what will be in destiny by God later.

****

At Jasmine's house, Samira rushes into her room and closes the door unhappily. Seeing this, Jasmine approached Samira who was in her room. At that moment Samira was saddened by hugging the doll she got from Ayan very tightly.

Seeing that, Jasmine sat on the bed and she saw Samira who was tightly hugging the doll.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you, I know you really love Om Ayan. But, you should know that you should not praise Om Ayan before Papa Firman. Because what? Because Papa Firman will be hurt if you always say that, Mama beg you, please don't do that again. Mama please, help you take care of Papa Firman's feelings," Jasmine said kindly to Samira. Samira who heard that remark just kept silent by nodding her head.

Seeing this, Jasmine invites Samira to hug for a while.

"It's not a wait, nor the sadness I feel right now. It is not a traitor or a disappointment in this soul. However, a bewildered heart, where should I seek an answer to the question' where is the port of happiness for Samira? Will be back together with a wait and a traitor, or even together without a smile on his sweet face."

Jasmine said in her heart by tightly hugging Samira the baby she loved so much.
