After the Rain

Is that Karma?

Both Habibah, Miss Maryam and Siska, they were very panicked to see Yandri set foot to get out of the event.

"Mother, do something!" pinta Siska's.

"Me-do what?" said Miss Maryam confused.

"Fainting, Mom! Let's pass out!" timpal Habibah's.

"You mean?" ask Miss Maryam astonished.

"Iih, already. Just follow what Habibah said. Now I'm pretending to fall and pass out!" continued Siska while pressing both shoulders Miss Maryam.

Brugh!

Siska's pressure was so strong, making Miss Maryam fall instantly. He held his left chest. Both of his eyes closed. For a moment, Miss Maryam acted like someone was unconscious.

Siska and Habibah looked at each other. Smiles were engraved on both corners of the lips the women did not know themselves. After getting a nod of Siska, Habibah shouted to call his sister.

"Yandri, wait!" shouts Habibah.

Yandri simply waved his hand, responding to the brother's scream.

Habibah did not give up. He also ran to pursue Yandri's steps further away.

And Yandri too. The man still continued to swing his wide stride while shouting to call his daughter.

"Star, wait a minute, son!"

The star is rapidly descending the escalator stairs. Followed by Adwira from the back. Although Adwira did not understand the debate that had just occurred. However, he is sure if the current Star is in desperate need of support.

Deftly, Adwira grabbed the Star's wrist and pulled it into the crowd of mall visitors. Adwira knew that Bintang wanted to avoid the man who was chasing her, so she tried to outwit the tall man.

"Stop Yandri! Mom fainted!"

Habibah's shout immediately stopped Yandri's steps. A split second later, Yandri turned around. He saw his mother lying on the floor. On the right side, Siska squatted while gently shaking her mother's shoulder.

For a few seconds, Yandri was confused. On one hand, he had to chase after the Stars and get an answer. However, on the other hand his mother was betting her life there.

In the end, Yandri relented. He re-entered the meatball shop to meet his mother.

Feeling no longer conducive, finally Mr. Hartono disbanded the invited guests. Moreover, he saw his iron candidate faint. Of course his daughter's engagement couldn't continue. Finally, Mr. Tono apologized and invited the guests to go home.

Somewhere else.

"Wait a minute! I'll take the car first" Adwira pinta shortly after they made it out the mall from the side door.

The stars did not react. He just peeked on the veranda of a cafe.

Not wanting to waste time, Adwira immediately went to the parking lot to pick up his vehicle. A few minutes later, a black sports car, stopped in front of the Star.

Adwira's out. He knew his friend was confused. He did not want to add to the burden of his friend's mind by asking. Therefore, he simply opened the car door and asked the Star to enter. A moment later, Adwira starts the car engine and drives it out of the parking lot of the mall.

Along the way, the stars did not make a sound. Adwira refused to bother him. Until the roundabout bypass arrived, Adwira asked. "Do we want to go home?"

"Can you take me to the city park?" pinta Bintang without looking at it.

"Of course" replied Adwira.

.

.

"Mother!" call Yandri as soon as he arrives in front of his mother.

However, the old woman did not react to anything. He still closed both his eyes.

"No need!" prevent Siska.

Everyone stared in surprise at the white woman.

"I mean, Siska. I-before taking Mom to the hospital, we take Mom in first to Siska's room. So that we don't become the center of attention here" continued Siska.

"No, thank you. I will take my mother to the nearest hospital" Yandri said, lifting up Ms. Maryam's frail body.

Yandri did not want to be late to help his parents, therefore, he immediately brought Miss Maryam to get out of the mall.

"How is this, brother?" whispered Siska in Habibah's ear, "if the mother gets to the hospital, it will be found out if the mother is just a show," continued Siska look anxious.

"Sst, relax! Let's think about the solution while starving, okay?" answer Habibah whose heart also felt tight-fisted for fear of his mother's lies exposed.

"Yandri, wait!" habibah shouted when he saw Yandri tired of carrying his mother's body towards the parking lot.

"What's up, brother," replied Yandri, ketus.

"Fine, we lay Mom in the mosque first. You, take the car! Let Brother and Siska take care of mother here," said Habibah.

"But ...."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. She may be just exhausted and a little surprised to see your daughter's behavior. Let's lay Mom in the mosque, while you take your car in the parking lot" Habibah continued.

Yandri. He then took his mother to the mosque which was not far from the exit of the mall from the back. After laying her mother on the carpet, Yandri immediately ran towards the parking lot to pick up her vehicle.

"Huf! Almost .." murmured Siska while stroking the chest.

"I told you, relax. The way out will always be there if we are calm" Habibah said.

Siska smiled wryly. "Yes, Brother is right. Panicking will only make us misbehave" he said.

Habibah smiled triumphantly. A moment later, he crouched down to wake his mother up.

"Pssst .. is safe, ma'am. Awake up!" habibah said touching his mother's shoulder slowly.

However, Miss Maryam did not react.

"Yes-yes, Mom. Bibah know this mother is really cool acting, but do you not feel sore should be closed like that? And that ... Mother's lips? Why do I have to be pinched like that?" tegur Habibah's.

However, Miss Maryam was still unmoved in her place. He was conscious, but could not open both of his eyes. Both of his hands felt numb, and his legs were stiff. Ms. Maryam felt that her body was so hard to move.

"Come on, Mother .. Mumpung Yandri has not come here. At least stop acting for a moment. Later after Yandri came, Mother could only pretend to faint again. Isn't that right, sister?" timpal Siska's.

"Hahaha, yes Sis. But it seems like Mother is so into her role, let it look natural," ledek Habibah.

"Hehehe, that's the totality of his name, sister," replied Siska.

In her heart, Maryam cursed the attitude of the two women who were laughing at her.

Holy hooch! What's the matter? What's with my body? Everything feels stiff. Both my eyes ached because they had to be closed, but why can't I open them?

"Uumh ... hbiii .. hbaahh .." murmured Ms. Maryam who seemed to have trouble moving her lips.

Seeing this, Siska and Habibah looked at each other. The two women were so amazed to look at Miss Maryam who was still lying with both hands whose fingers seemed to bend inward.

"Astaghfirullah, Mommy!" pekik Habibah's.

"Sister, did Mom have a stroke?" said Siska.

"What?! A stroke?"

Yandri was shocked to hear his mother had a stroke. While Ms. Maryam ... her world began to feel dark hearing the possibility that was happening to her.

Oh my God, is this my karma? little by little, Maryam's inner self, her consciousness began to disappear.

"Hurry and get me to the hospital, Yan!"
