"This is your room." Ardi said, after opening the door of a room on the second floor of his house.
Aini looked at the room that Ardi showed. The room is quite large with all its contents, beehasil make Aini confused. Not because he did not like it, but because he felt less fit with the room. Remembering, he was just a nurse from the owner's son.
"It's too big, sir. I don't deserve to occupy this room." Aini is sure.
Ardi, who was about to invite Aini in, immediately turned to Aini, whose hands were still loyal he held.
"You're a guest in this house. And this is indeed a room for guests."
"I'm just Kenzo's nurse, sir. It's not worth it if I occupy a guest room in your house." Clear Aini.
"But, this is the closest room to Kenzo's. Another empty room is downstairs."
"Is there still room for ART in this house? If it's still there, I'd better be in that room alone, sir."
"You're not ART in this house. You're not just Kenzo's nurse either. You're my son's helper." Obviously Ardi doesn't want to lose.
"But I'm less deserving of occupying this room." Deny Aini again.
Ardi frowned. He became annoyed because Aini did not obey his will.
"If so, you sleep in Ardi's room. Ardi's room is very spacious. It'll fit you both." Sela Niken suddenly.
Ardi and Aini immediately turned to Niken who was walking towards them.
"Hand his hand, so good at it." Sindir Niken relaxing.
Ardi and Aini spontaneously turned their attention to the hands that were still intertwined earlier. They reflexively release each other hand links that were still loyal.
"You don't have to be weird!" Sahut Ardi ketus.
"How weird? Mom just proposed that." Answer Niken.
"Where, Ni? You want a room with Ardi? Closer than Kenzo's room. Kenzo's room, that one." Point Niken at the door of the room on the other side of the stairs.
"Eh, no ma'am." Answer Aini quickly.
Ardi and Aini were still arguing about the room that Aini was going to occupy. Niken even giggled at the sight of two people who were fighting the same hard argument.
"Oma! Opa!"
The voice of a little child, echoed beautifully throughout the house. Distract every occupant in it.
"My grandkids are home." Mumbled Niken.
Niken immediately went down the stairs back. That was also soon followed by Ardi and Aini. Niken was immediately greeted with the embrace of a boy who was still in school uniform with a bag still on his back. While another boy, hands of Rama as usual.
"Missy?" Aini muttered in disbelief, as she looked at the figure she missed so much.
"Summer!" Call Aini hard enough.
The owner of the name immediately looked over.
"Mother?" The boy muttered questioningly.
Aini immediately ran away leaving Ardi standing beside her. He approached the boy who had just finished greeting Rama. The boy was Umar.
"Yetoo!" Sahut Umar haru.
Aini immediately hugged the body of her son with haru. He even immediately shed tears of joy because he could meet Umar at this time. (Ah Readers, you guys just imagine, like the scene in the soap operas lhoo 😅 othor new fashion lebay 😁)
Aini hugged Umar tightly, regardless of the gazes of the homeowners. He missed his son too much, even though only a few days ago they met at school as usual.
The owners of the house, staring Aini and Umar full of haru. No exception Kenzo who has finished his hug session with his grandmother.
"Mother here?" Sela Kenzo suddenly.
Aini immediately turned to Kenzo. He smiled happily at the boy who was about to have surgery with him.
"Yes, honey." Aini replied with a smile, after releasing her embrace from Umar.
"May Kenzo hug Mother?" Ask Kenzo right away.
"Can. Here!"
Aini spread out her hands to greet Kenzo. Rama who had never seen the closeness of Kenzo and Aini, was stunned to see the behavior of his only grandchild.
"Assalamu'alaikum."
The voice of a man, deflected everyone's attention. They immediately turned their attention towards the source of the sound. The man recognized by the audience in the spacious living room.
"Wa'alaikumussalam." Answer all at the same time.
"Well, new to this gathering!" Said relaxed.
"Yes, Lang. Kenzo and Umar just got home from school." Honest Niken friendly.
"What's up, Om? Does Kenzo have to check up again?" Kenzo asked as he approached the man, after letting go of Aini's embrace.
"No dong, champ. Come here, bring you good news."
"What Om?"
The man, immediately aligned his height with Kenzo.
"Papa has a donor for you." Said the man happy.
"What is really Pa?" Ask Kenzo enthusiastically.
Ardi nodded with a smile seeing the happy look on his son's face. Everyone was happy to hear that. Although in truth, they had known about it before.
Ardi also approached Kenzo who was dealing with the man. The other one is Gilang, his personal doctor.
"Therefore, Papa asked Mother, make your nurse, later after the operation." Ardi said after resting in front of Kenzo.
Kenzo turned to Aini with a puzzled look.
"So, Mommy's gonna stay here, Pa?" Ask Kenzo happily.
"Mother will stay with Kenzo?" Kenzo asked after he approached Aini again.
"Yes. What can?" Aini plain sahut.
"By dong, Mother." Kenzo answered happily.
All are hypnotized by the happiness Kenzo is feeling right now. They were also slightly happy because of the happiness Kenzo felt. Up to the making, all of their attention, was centered on Kenzo. Where Kenzo ran, their eyes would follow him.
"Om, here!"
Kenzo approached Gilang and immediately withdrew his hand. Bring the 37-year-old doctor, approaching Aini and Umar.
"Of, know! This is Mother Aini. Umar and Kenzo." Kenzo said enthusiastically.
Gilang, who was accustomed to Kenzo's attitude, immediately welcomed the innocence of his patients. He pretended to get Aini acquainted. And Aini also welcomed him.
"Say papa, you're gonna take Kenzo after tomorrow's surgery." Kenzo said enthusiastically.
"really? But, mommy's going to hang Kenzo or ngerawat papa ya long?" Tempted Gilang while glancing at Ardi who was loyal to Kenzo.
"Both." Chirps Niken soon.
Rama, Gilang and Dika, smiling at Niken's reply. While Ardi, staring intently at his old friend with full annoyance.
And what about Aini? Aini feeling suddenly nervous because of the temptation from Gilang earlier. Even though he had never thought of it before. But, he did not know, why he could suddenly get nervous just because he was tempted like that.
"Already! Come on, sit it all down!" Bring Niken.
All then set foot to the chair in the spacious living room. Except, two boys who just got home from school. They immediately headed to their room to change clothes. And Aini followed them.
Aini was very surprised, when she found out that Umar had been living here for the past few weeks. He did not think that Ardi had been hiding Umar in his house for several weeks.
"I'll ask Mr. Ardi later." Inner Aini while helping her two sons, alternately changed clothes.
Night approaching. Tonight, Aini finally chose to sleep in Umar's room. He wanted to sleep with his son. A simple thing that he had been craving for the past two years. But baby, he can not sleep even though the night has rolled since last night. In fact, Umar was already asleep first.
Aini came out of Umar's room. He went downstairs to make a warm drink. He meets Niken, who also wants to make a warm drink.
"Can we talk for a minute, Ni?" Niken asked as Aini made her a drink.
"Sure, Mom." Answer Aini friendly.
"I'm waiting in the backyard!"
"Yes, Mom. I'll catch up, once this is ready."
Niken is smiling. He immediately left Aini in the kitchen. He walked to his backyard, which was his favorite place. He often spent time there gardening.
"Thank you, Ni. Thank you for being a donor to Kenzo." Niken said sincerely, after Aini arrived with her homemade drink.
"I should be grateful, Mom. Because of Mr. Ardi's help, I can get back together with Umar at this time." Honest Aini.
"I heard little of you from Ardi and Mala. I'm sorry that you had to separate from Umar at that time."
"Thank you, Mom. That's the past. Most importantly now, I was able to return with Umar. And Kenzo, he'll be operated on soon for his recovery."
"Thank you, Nduk."
Niken who was sitting in the long chair with Aini, immediately embraced Aini with warmth. Aini gasps for getting a hug from Niken. His body immediately stared in surprise.
Slowly but surely, Aini tried to return Niken's embrace. He could feel the sincerity and warmth that Niken was giving at this moment. And at that moment, he was reminded of his mother who had died. Until finally, Aini could not hold back her tears from her throne, because it was remembered by her mother.
Niken was a little confused from hearing the little prank from Aini. He immediately let go of his embrace.
"Why you?" Ask Niken attention.
"Sorry, Mom. I'm okay." Lying Aini.
"Then why are you crying? Are you sick?
"No, Ma. I'm fine."
Aini immediately neutralized her mood. It was a little difficult, but she tried not to cry anymore. Niken hugged Aini again to calm her down.
"Don't you want to get married again, Ni?" Ask Niken in between his chat.
"I don't know, Mom. For now, I just want to be with Umar." Honest Aini.
"Has no man ever approached you?"
"I shut myself down, Mom. I still want to set my heart first."
Niken looked at Aini with sadness. There was a tinge of disappointment on Niken's face, after hearing Aini's reply.
Aini and Niken ended up chatting in the backyard of the house casually. Until finally, Niken said goodbye to Aini to return to the room first, because his body began to get tired.
"What's up, Di?" Niken asked as she watched her son finish coming down the stairs.
"You go to the backyard for a second, Ma. Search wind. Where's my mom from?" Reply Ardi casually.
"From the backyard too. Mama couldn't sleep." Honest Niken.
"Jude, Mama take a break, yeah!" Niken Imbuh.
"Yes, Ma."
Niken also left Ardi while hiding his mischievous smile. He walked into his room with a heart that was, eemmhh, happy, relieved, and a little amused. The heart of the mother, very hopeful, her son could soon end his youth.
"Here?"
Aini who was looking at the moon that looked so beautiful tonight, immediately shifted her gaze.
"Yes, sir,,"
What happens next is always a mystery to everyone. Sometimes, we never imagined before.
So, what will Aini and Ardi do later? 😊
