After the Rain

Habibah Game

Miss Maryam is ready for the show. However, he still needed time to perform the charade. He was still doubtful and afraid that one day his charade would be revealed.

"Lantas, when are you gonna call Yandri?" habibah asked after a week, Miss Maryam was just flinching.

"Come on, Bah," replied Miss Maryam.

"Mom, if Mom keeps pushing back time, then the problem will get more complicated. Siska could have demanded back what she gave me. Anyway, Mom wants, all of Mom's jewelry collection taken back to her?" tegur Habibah's.

"Ish, by the way, Bah," said Miss Maryam.

"It could be, Mom. Siska is a businessman. Of course he will not want to lose either" Habibah said.

"Yes, I'll call Yandri later" said Miss Maryam.

"Huh, from yesterday, tar-sook tar-sook. Which tomorrow will you be, Mom? Sod's year?" gerutu Habibah looked annoyed. Shortly thereafter, Habibah left Maryam's room.

After Habibah died, Miss Maryam again daydreamed in front of the window of her room. Habibah's words began to affect his mind. Yes, Miss Maryam began to worry if what Habibah said just now, could come true. One can certainly be reckless if they continue to feel hurt, thought Miss Maryam.

The night is getting more and more crawling. Ms. Maryam closed the window of the room as she felt the air getting colder. A moment later, he stepped up his legs and sat on the bed.

Miss Maryam glanced at the flat object lying just like that on the pillow. Because affected by Habibah's speech, Miss Maryam also grabbed her cellphone and contacted Yandri.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma!" Yandri was on the other end of the phone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Yan," replied Miss Maryam.

"Why, Mom? Is there anything I called Yandri at this hour? Is Mom not sleepy? It's late" said Yandri.

"Yet, Yan ... I'm not sleepy yet" replied Miss Maryam. "There's nothing, I just miss you there" he continued.

"Hmm, tumblr. Mother why? Is there a problem?" asked Yandri who felt awkward about his mother's answer.

"When are you coming home, son? Are you not the same as Mom? Yesterday, you were busy taking care of your son. When do you have time for your old mother?" lamented Miss Maryam, begin to dramatize the situation.

I heard a long breath on the other end of the phone. I don't know what Yandri is thinking right now. However, his voice sounded very hoarse.

"Don't keep sulking like that, ma'am. After all, Mother and Star were just as important to Yandri. If yesterday Yandri did not nginep in the house of Mother, it is because Yandri was busy nyari Bintang who moved schools without Yandri's knowledge," replied Yandri who could not hide a single thing from his mother.

"But not to forget your own mother, Yan," whined Miss Maryam. "Your mother is still alive, you're already indifferent to Mother. Especially if you're dead?" cecar Miss Maryam.

On the other end of the phone, Yandri could only take a deep breath.

"What's really going on, Mom? Why do you keep sulking like this?" ask Yandri gently.

"Mother is sick, Yan. Where have you ever thought of Mom. All this time ... hiks-hiks ...."

Maryam did not continue her sentence. He cried even sobbing, making Yandri even more confused.

"Mother why? What pain? Have you checked with the doctor?" ask Yandri.

Maryam did not answer. Only her sobs sounded heartbreaking.

"Mom! Mama!"

Yandri was still screaming on the other end of the phone. But Miss Maryam hung up her phone.

A cold sneer was on its way to both corners of Miss Maryam. He was sure, after all this, Yandri would definitely feel uneasy.

Elsewhere, Yandri was confused by the words of Miss Maryam. Suddenly his heart felt uncomfortable. Yandri immediately contacted his brother to ask about his beloved mother.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Brother!" greet Yandri, as soon as the phone is connected.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Yankee. How's the call coming at this hour?" habibah asked, astonished.

"Yes, sorry to interrupt your time. Yandri just wants nanya, is Mom okay?" yandri asked, worried.

"What's the matter, Dek?" Habibah asked back.

"Mom should have called Yandri. He said he was sick. However, when Yandri asked if he had gone to the doctor or not, I hung up the phone instead" Yandri said.

"Emh, Deck. Actually ... Mom has been sick for a long time. Just ... he does not ngizinin Brother to tell you," replied Habibah on the other end of the phone.

Yandri. She was very surprised to hear her brother's answer. During this time, his mother never complained about his health.

"What does mom hurt, brother? Have you been taken to the doctor?" ask Yandri.

"Already, Yan," replied Habibah.

"the results?" Yandri asked again.

"The doctor said, I have heart disease" Habibah said.

"What's? Heart?!" pekik Yandri's.

"Yes, Yan. Therefore, now Brother is always careful when talking to mother," continued Habibah.

"Yes, Brother. Please take care of mom. Later Yandri will apply for a leave of absence to take the mother to a heart specialist" pinta Yandri.

"Yes, Yan. You do not have to worry, said the doctor, as long as we can keep the mother's emotions, everything will be fine" replied Habibah.

"Yes, Yandri hangs up, brother. If there's anything, please tell Yandri. Assalamu'alaikum!" Yandri.

After getting an answer from Habibah, Yandri then ended his talk.

Yandri leaned back. Both of his eyes closed. One problem is not finished, another problem arises.

Oh my God .. until when will this test end?

Days change weeks, weeks change months. Siska kept urging Miss Maryam about her marriage to Yandri. Until finally, inevitably Miss Maryam also followed the game Habibah.

"Mother! Is Mom okay?"

Brak!

Yandri opened the door of the ward room. In a hurry, he walked over to his mother who was lying weakly on the hospital bed.

"Astaghfirullah, Mom. Why is it like this?" yandri asked, not having the heart to see the state of his mother.

"Alhamdulillah, you can finally go home too, Yan," Habibah said.

Yandri. Because he was too worried about his mother's condition, he was not aware of the existence of others in the nursery of the mother.

"Bibah brother, sorry Yandri did not see," replied Yandri.

"Yes, it's okay, Yan. I understand, you must be so worried about the state of mother," replied Habibah.

"What happened to Mom, brother? Why did you get to the hospital?" ask Yandri.

"Hhh, this all started from the marriage of the daughter of a friend of the mother, Yan. My brother doesn't know what's going on there. It's just that, shortly after Mom came home from the wedding, she suddenly fainted. Fortunately there is Siska, finally Brother Siska brought mother here," said Habibah.

Yandri glanced at the hijab-wearing woman who was still sitting on the sofa. A split second later, he looked back at Habibah.

"Then, what did the doctor say, brother?" ask Yandri again.

"Mother had a heart attack, Yan," said Habibah.

"Astaghfirullah ...."

Yandri rubbed his face violently. He could not deny if the news he had just heard, making Yandri's body a little unsteady.

"Yes.n... A-what is Yandri su-dah da ... tang?"
