After the Rain

Truth

Yandri is grateful to have a wife who is always faithful to accompany him in times of grief. Having in-laws who always help every difficulty, makes Yandri's respect increase. And having a brother-in-law who cares and loves him so much, makes Yandri feel the perfect warmth in a family.

Long ago. Yep! long ago, before his father died, Yandri could feel all that warmth. However, the warmth of his family dissipated in an instant when his life hero left.

For a moment, Yandri looked at the wife who was snoring softly beside him. Yandri's hand stretched out to rub the Daniar's head.

*Sleep, Bun. I know, your sleep must have been disrupted for a few days, because it has to take care of Dad," muttered Yandri as he continued to rub Daniar's head gently.

Daniar squirms when he feels a touch. However, his eyes were so heavy that he continued his snoring.

"Let's take a look at Yandri's bang, Bang!" whine Puri when she saw her husband was still busy bathing birds.

"Ish, Deck. It's still too early" replied Yoga, "no, look!" Show Yoga in the sunlight that is blocked by mangis leaves, "his sun is still shy" continued Yoga.

"Ish, Brother!" Puri who felt anxious, immediately patted her husband's shoulder slowly.

"Yes-yes, then yeah, Deck! Finish Abang bathe in birds," said Yoga.

"Ish, the bird continues to be bathed, when does the brother bathe? Not that last night was stuck to the bottom of the cave," Puri snorted annoyedly. A second later she returned to the kitchen and left her husband.

"Boiled, perv!" yelled Yoga, smiling broadly in response to his wife's words.

In the kitchen, Puri resumed his work. He kept stirring the brown jelly that had been mixed with coconut milk water and brown sugar. He was making chocolate pudding as a hand to visit his sister-in-law later.

When he was creative, suddenly someone popped his head behind the kitchen door.

"Remain you, Pur?"

Puri was shocked. A moment later, he turned to see who was coming.

"Y-mother?" puri.

Miss Maryam opened the door wide. He then entered to see more clearly what his daughter-in-law was doing.

"Bikin what, you?" ask Miss Maryam again.

"Puri's making chocolate pudding again, ma'am" Puri replied

"Tumbens. Make your kids?" Maryam asked again.

"No, Ma. This is to be taken to the place of the Yandri bang. The plan, this afternoon Puri sama bang Yoga want to visit bang Yandri," replied Puri.

"Is Yandri home yet?" ask Miss Maryam.

"Already, Mom. Brother Niar said, last night they just arrived at his house. Do you want to join the Yandri gang as well? If Mom wants to come, we are together to make Mumun only, so we can take a car," Puri continued.

"You're the one who left. I can't see Yandri with such conditions" replied Miss Maryam.

Puri silent. To be honest, she herself did not know what was on her mother-in-law's mind. However, the reason her mother-in-law had just said, was simply absurd to Puri.

Every parent must have concerns when their child is having a disaster. Especially the accident. Cook yes, just because you have seen the condition of the child covered in blood, parents then do not want to visit it? thought Puri.

"Yes, I go first" said Miss Maryam.

"What if Brother Niar and bang Yandri ask Mom?" shouted Puri who saw his mother-in-law had gone away.

"Let's say Mother is still a lot of business" said Miss Maryam, continuing to step foot away from the daughter-in-law's house.

"Ish, mom ...."

At Miss Salma's house.

Since morning, many guests have come to visit Yandri. They were close relatives of Ms. Salma. There was also Daniar's co-worker and Yandri's college friend. Including Aji and Sahid. .

The phone rings at all times. There were many messages saying do'a to get Yandri well. On average, the message came from the student guardians and also guardians who Yandri had taught in the old school.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" greet someone behind the door of the front room of the pavilion.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Daniar, who was preparing Yandri's medicine, immediately put it on the table. A second later, he opened the door to let his guests in. Daniar was quite surprised to see someone standing before him.

"Mrs Niar!" The man hugged Daniar. "Oh my God .. forgive Bibik for only being able to visit Mr. Yandri today," said the person who was none other than Bik Mumun.

"Yes, Bik, don't pa-pa really," Daniar replied, rubbing Bik Mumun's back, who started crying on his shoulder.

Bik Mumun released his embrace. He looked at Yandri who was lying down. A moment later, Bik Mumun immediately rushed to Yandri's bed. While holding the hand of the man he had considered his sister, Bik Mumun was back in tears.

"Ish, Mr. Yandri this .. in a precarious situation like this, you can still joke," said Bik Mumun, manyun.

Yandri. Until after they had long conversed, a knock on the door of the pavilion room came back.

"Liar, can you come in?" ma'am Salma shouted from behind the door.

"Just go in, Mom. The door was unlocked" Daniar replied.

Ms. Salma opened the door of the pavilion room. "Ni, there are guests who want to look at Yandri," he said.

"Go through the front door of the Pavilion, ma'am" Daniar said.

"All right," replied Miss Salma. A moment later, Ms. Salma again closed the door of the pavilion room. Until a few minutes after Ms. Salma left, a knock on the front room of the pavilion was heard.

"Assalamu'alaikum!"

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Daniar opens the door to let his guests in. Puri, Yoga, Sarah and Linda enter the pavilion room. Seen anxiety on the look on their faces when they saw the condition of Yandri.

"Astaghfirullah, Yan ...!" pekik Sarah hugged her sister-in-law tightly.

Sobs began to sound in the pavilion room. Sarah is Yandri's oldest sister-in-law. Although her husband had died, Sarah and Yandri's relationship was quite good. For Sarah, only Yandri was the one who still established a close family relationship with her even though her husband was gone.

"I'm sorry Brother for coming today" Sarah said in a sobbing.

"It's okay, brother," replied Yandri.

"The castle also apologizes, Bang. Puri and Bang Yoga can't go to the hospital first," said Puri.

"Yes, it's okay Pur. After all, Brother is understood, really. The hospital where Abang was treated, 'will be quite far away too, '" Yandri replied.

"Bibah's mom, by the way, didn't come? How come there's no?" asked Daniar who immediately made his guests silent.

"Grandmother doesn't want to come, Auntie," Linda said. "Grandmother said, grandma could not see the situation Om," continued Linda who had suddenly made her mother widen the eyeballs.

"Saturday!" timpal Bik Mumun placed his index finger on his lips.

As for Puri, he could only gently pat the fifteen-year-old teenager's shoulder.

"Basic boy, '" said Lirih Yoga.

Yandri and Daniar just look at each other's behavior.

.

.

"What's wrong with you, Niar? How come since his guest left, he's been daydreaming all the time?" ask Miss Salma.

"Come, Ma. Maybe Yandri kang is a little disappointed because the other mother and brother have not come" said Daniar.

"Hmm, calm your husband, Ni. Don't let him think much" advised Ms. Salma.

"Yes, Mom. Then Niar goes to the room first. Want to deliver dinner for kang Yandri," said Daniar.

"Yes, go!" sahut Maam Salma.

Arriving at the room, as his mother said, Yandri did look dreamy. Even the man was unaware of his wife's arrival.

"Well!" call Daniar while touching the back of her husband's hand.

"Yes, why Bun?" yandri replied, surprised.

"Daddy again dream what? From that Mother told me to eat, why not answer," said Daniar.

"Sorry, Bun," replied Yandri.

"It seems like Dad's mind is wandering, nih. Think what the hell?" Daniar asked again.

"Not Bun. I don't think about anything anymore" Elak Yandri.

"Yes, now eat first. Want a bribe?" fresh Daniar.

"It's not necessary, Bun. I can be alone" said Yandri, taking the plate from Daniar's hand.

"Yes, I eat a lot of yes, Mother to the kitchen first, want to wash dishes used dinner," said Daniar.

Yandri. After Daniar left, Yandri kept the dishes on the nightstand. For a moment he turned his face shut while closing his eyes. Somehow his chest felt tight when he found out the truth about his mother's attitude.

Oh my God .. is it true that you can't see my situation? Couldn't, or never wanted to see me?Right now, I really need you, Mom. Your son misses your embrace so much, Yandri's inner self-consciousness is poignant.

It seemed that Yandri was unable to accept this truth. It hurts! So hurtful.
