As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episode 78's. Mamma...

Eight o'clock past fifteen minutes. I've been prepared. As planned, Keanu and I will visit Noah, who is still receiving intensive care in the hospital. Today is the fourth day since the attack.

My eyes are around the room. I'm looking for a handsome man who's been such an important part of my life. Nil. I didn't find it. Then I put the wheelchair out. In hopes of finding it. And sure enough, I heard a conversation from mom's room. From his voice I'm sure it's Keanu's sister and mama. Someone was ready to slide off of these lips, but stopped when I heard mama call my name.

"It's been more than six months of Fara's therapy, but progress has been minimal. Mama's worried, Keanu" said mama. Could it be that Fara will be like before again? Mama doubts it if she sees the progress now. How's your future going? Mama also wants to hold a grandchild. Mama's not young anymore, Keanu." said mama again.

"Ma, times like this we've been through. Why did my mother become impatient. Fara alone still accepted Keanu when Keanu was at this moment. Come on, let's give Fara some support and opportunity" Keanu said. I think there's a heartbreak in every word.

"Until when, Keanu? Mama sanctioned, Fara will recover quickly. We need to take a quick step. Mama doesn't want your wait to be in vain." said mama.

Deg.

"Mama.." I said softly. There was clearly a heartbreak tucked away at the end of my heart. And a great question swirled and inhabited the heart. What's wrong with mama? Why would it suddenly turn against me like this?

"Think of Keanu, mama please take immediate steps. Mom doesn't want everything to be late. Oya, Mama's gonna be out of town in a couple of days. Mama hope after mama later Keanu already have a decision" said the mother I heard clearly.

Eight o'clock is thirty minutes. I wheelchairs away from my mom's room. Get off the elevator with a feeling of anxiety. The pain grew more and more filled the heart. A clear thread started floating in the eyes, but I tried to hold it.

I immediately hid my face when I arrived at the ground floor and met Satria. "Mrs.." said Satria while nodding in reverence. I responded to Satria's treatment with a small smile while pushing my wheelchair towards the car. This time the black sports car that has been prepared Satria.

"Mrs is okay...?" satria said as she helped me move into the car. "Thank you, Brother. Em, I'm fine" my lie. Fine is a sentence that does not describe my feelings now. For verily I am harboring grief and confusion, making me a gamelan.

"Mrs sure...?" satria said again. "What else do I have to do, brother? Besides saying okay. Even though there is a mountain of heartache, I still have to say it. All for the sake of arousing the spirit in this soul" I said without looking at him. And it was the flower buds that brought my attention. Flowers that occasionally swayed were blown by the wind then. Just like my current feelings that are oscillating back and forth until the weight of my brain feels.

Phew.I sighed and obviously it made Satria pay more attention to me from the rearview of the car.

Drrt...Drrt...Drrt...

My phone shimmered. A name is listed. "Where, honey...?" said brother Keanu. "In the car." I said flat. "O..already below. How did you not say?" said Mr Keanu who immediately disconnected the phone without waiting for my answer.

Before long, I saw Brother Keanu standing in the doorway for a moment, casting his gaze then stepping towards the car that had been parked since. "Kok precedes.." said brother Keanu momentarily up and perfectly sat down next to me. "The brother disappeared. So Fara came down. Who knows, my brother is downstairs. Uh, in fact not yet" said I who turned out to be noticed Satria through the rearview car.

"Sorry, I talked to my mom. It just so happens that mom will be out of town for a few days" said Keanu. "Oyeah... ? Why not tell? Then we go down again. Fara wants to meet mama" I said and intended to get off the car again.

"What's Fara..?" my mother was standing near the other car. "Why didn't you tell me you wanted to get out of town?" I said while popping my head out the window. "Suddenly, dear.." said mom. But why does it feel so bland the affectionate call that mama gave you? "When is the therapy again, Fara...?" say mama. "Tomorrow, Ma.." said my mother who replied with a short oo. "The spirit is yes." said the mother while sitting in the car. "Be careful at Fara's house. Keanu take care of Fara ya.." said mama. Ah, mama if I hadn't heard the conversation earlier, maybe such a word of worry would have made me happy to feel cared for. But different things after, everything feels so bland.

"Be careful, Ma.." I said half a scream as mom's car started to go. I could still see my mom waving and smiling.

"We go to Satria." said brother Keanu while clutching my shoulder. The black sports car drove through the noise and then passed another vehicle. My eyes were staring at the trees that seemed to be chasing on the side of the road. Every now and then I saw birds perched on some branches on some trees I passed. Fix...All the way there was no chatter going on. I'm speechless. My mind wandered back into the conversation I just heard. I looked carefully at each word and tried to interpret it. Pilu, that's what I think right now. Mama. Ah, if you think who wants to be faced with a situation like me at this time. Sit in a wheelchair and rely on the help of others. Then I saw Keanu's brother with my tail. He was the same as me, silent without a word. Only one or two I heard him take a deep breath. There will be a burden that will disturb the peace of his soul. I'm sure one hundred percent I know. This is the worry that mom has managed to blow to Keanu's sister. But after I thought, my mom had a point, too.

Eight o'clock is fifty minutes. The car stopped at a hospital. A smile greeted our presence as the steps began to climb down the hallway as my wheelchair creaked. Kevin, work partner and best friend of Noah. "I happen to be in charge of guarding Noah" he said, who could not be spiced Smile.

"Sorry, my brother just visited my sister again today" I said as I approached her. My eyes also signaled to ask Zahra. And Brother Noah smiled. His hand signaled for me to get closer. "Your sister-to-be." said Brother Noah whispered. Even so, Zahra could still be heard standing not far from us. And this of course made him blush with a slightly reddened face. I also took a short time while alternately staring at Brother Noah and Zahra.

"How are you, brother." said I save sad and almost dropped a clear circle that suddenly appeared. "Much better, baby. No need to worry." said Brother Noah while rubbing my head. "Hey.jagoan" said Mr. Keanu who had just entered after receiving a call some time ago. "Feel much better, brother." replied Brother Noah. "What is the plan after recovery." said Keanu with a smile. "Certainly back to duty. Events like this have become a risk and part of the task" said Brother Noah while coughing for a moment.

Time passed by so quickly as the chatter continued. Laughter also adorns the treatment room non-stop. There were many chirps that Keanu's brother uttered and made us unable to hold back a laugh. Duuh.my handsome husband can also make a guyonan. Out of the habit of a young master. Basic labile. Hehe...

Twelve o'clock past forty-five minutes. The car drove back from the hospital after first performing the dzuhur prayer. Silence, that's what I thought during the trip. No more chatter like the one launched while in the care room Keanu's brother earlier. Keanu is more silent. Maybe the babble was over. Hehe...

"We ate first, yes." he said later. His eyes were looking at me who only once looked at him with a faint smile. The car slowed down to enter a parking lot. This is the park where my sister Mirza and I have visited several times. I'm stunned. "Honey.had arrived" said brother Keanu disperse my daydream. "Yes, brother." I said gagu.

After a few steps we reached the restaurant. I just found out if this place has a resto. Just perfectly seated, Keanu's cell phone shimmered. "Mama.." said Brother Keanu. "Yes, Ma.." said brother Keanu, start the conversation. "What, Ma? Disjointed. For a moment, Ma.." said brother Keanu while gesturing to me and passed away. Really dotted? I don't know...

I knitted my wheelchair and satria. Near a shady tree surrounded by flowers I stopped the pace of my wheelchair. And Sayria stood a little away from me. He took care of my privacy, apparently. Then I looked as far as the eyes could see. An area of flower beds and shady trees that thrive and are neatly arranged.

"Darling.." said Brother Keanu as he hugged me from behind. "Sister.." call me shrewd. "Hem.." she answered briefly without letting go of her arms. "It seems like what you said has a point" I said. I heard Brother Keanu sigh. For a moment he circled me and sat on a chair right in front of me. His eyes are staring at me. "It's just a mother's grief. Don't take it too hard, baby." he said later. His hand grabbed my finger and grasped it tightly. He took a deep breath and smiled looking back at me.

"Listen to me, baby. I don't mean to listen to my mother's words in this case. You are my love. The old love is gone and I just found it back. There's no way I'm just gonna let you go" Keanu assured me. "Sister, before meeting me again, only my mother was my sister's friend. The person who supported my mother. So naive if you do not heed his words or his wishes" I said.

"I stick to my stance." said Brother Keanu firmly half-cried. "And hurt my mom's feelings?" say me. Brother Keanu was silent. His eyes are looking at me. Maybe he was following my feelings, wanting to know my true desires.

"Whatever you stole from our conversation, it's not necessarily what you thought it would be" Keanu said. His eyes were far away staring at the expanse of flowers and trees as wide as the eyes could see.

"Sorry, young master. The food is ready" said Satria. "We eat, our conversation continues later" said brother Keanu as he rubbed my head and kissed it gently. Then I followed his steps. While Satria helped propel my wheelchair.

"I'd be willing if brother should be ready to leave me. I realized my situation was not profitable. Because I'm not okay" I said.

Crack...

Brother Keanu put the spoon on the plate abruptly. He cleaned the side of the food that was attached to his lips. Along with that he seemed to take a long breath. Then Keanu's sister looked at me. Sissy eyes. "Don't let past events repeat themselves. You sacrifice to make others happy. And again this conversation is too early. We just got married. Six months less. So there's still plenty of time for us to put in more effort" Keanu said.

"What if there's no change to my condition?" say me. Stand up, Keanu, sighing deeply. His breathing was a little irregular. I'm sure he's holding back the frustration. "Satria, please escort my wife" said Brother Keanu without seeing me. "Then young master, how about?" said Satria who immediately finished his lunch. "No need to think about it." said brother Keanu ketus.

If so, what is my day. I took off my wheelchair without looking at him again. Tucked bitterly over the treatment of Brother Keanu just now. "I'm sorry, brother. This fara mu did not mean that. I'm just afraid of losing you" I said in my heart. In the parking lot, I realized something was missing. "Mobile.." I said. I turned the wheelchair to where it was. "Let me take it, madam." said Satria. But I refuse. In my heart there was something interesting to get me back where I was.

I was stunned when I saw Keanu's brother sitting with a beautiful woman. Her hair was long. And occasionally Keanu's brother scrambles his head in between the laughter presented. "Fast your reaction, sister.." I said. "Fara.." said brother Keanu trying to hide his surprise. "Who, Mom..?" ask the girl softly. "My wife.." said Keanu's brother with a smile.

"Ow, then later on. Excuse me, ma'am." said the woman. "No need to mbak. Please continue talking. I just wanted to grab a cell phone" I said, pointing at the phone lying on the table. I smiled at Keanu without saying anything. You young labil... Very quickly you turn away. I just left you with words like that. You've taken such a quick step without thinking long. You young lord labil....!
