At the End of my Waiting

Chapter 39 (Physical defects but not liver defects)

From this talk Aira and Daddy Indra have been listened to by someone who is none other than Aira's own biological mother.

"Quite Mas, why do you always teach Aira something that is not good?" said Mama Risa, and Daddy Indra just threw his hand at Mama Risa who had been sassy eavesdropping on her conversation with Aira.

The hard slap now landed on Mama Risa's cheek.

"About eavesdropping on our conversation, you're just a prankster in this house, so you don't have to interfere in my affairs. Aira is my only daughter, take care of your disabled daughter" said Daddy Indra.

Actually Aira was born a twin, but because the twin Aira was deformed from birth, Daddy Indra never wanted to recognize Zahira as his daughter, even Daddy Indra who had loved Mama Risa very much, it changed instantly when Mama Risa gave birth to Zahira who was disabled, and Daddy Indra always considered if Mama Risa and Zahira were unlucky carriers.

Zahira, who is currently sitting in a wheelchair, immediately approached her mother who fell on the floor.

"Ma, sorry Zahira, everything that happened to Mama was Zahira," Zahira said by dropping her body, then hugging Mama Risa.

Even though Zahira does not have legs, because both legs are only limited to the knee, Mama Risa really loves her Son, especially behind the shortcomings that Zahira has, Zahira has many advantages, Zahira has many advantages, unfortunately Papa Indra always locked Zahira inside the house and did not allow him to go outside, because he was ashamed to have a disabled child.

"I'm sorry why I didn't throw away your disabled son, he's useless and just embarrassing the family" cried Daddy Indra.

"Astagfirullah Mas, that child is a deposit, that child is the most precious treasure. So, Mas should not talk like that about Zahira, because even though Zahira is physically disabled, but she is not as handicapped as you are" said Mama Risa, and all that made Daddy Indra even more furious, so that he raised his hand to slap Mama Risa, but Aira held Daddy Indra back from doing all that.

"Enough Dad, after all Mama is the woman who has given birth to Aira into this world, and Mama is still Daddy's wife. What if someone reports Daddy because he has been doing KDRT to Mama?" said Aira, and Daddy Indra was seen pondering over Aira's words.

"Dear baby, we should talk about all this in Daddy's office so that no one eavesdropped on our conversation, we don't have to care about the truth in this house," said Daddy Indra by embracing the body of Aira to his study.

At this time Ken had prepared to leave for Australia, but his steps felt heavy to leave the homeland, because the shadow of Nabila was always visible when Ken was in his room.

"Honey, I will definitely be back soon, and I'm sure someday we will meet again" said Ken by looking at the photo of Nabila who is currently in his hands, then Ken kissed the photo before going out of his room.

Grandma Puspa was waiting for Ken at the dinner table to take him to breakfast together.

"Ken, we have breakfast first, son," Grandma Puspa asked, but Ken looks reluctant to do breakfast.

"Ken, you must be enthusiastic for the sake of Nabila and your Children, you must also always maintain health while there," said Granny Puspa by stroking the back of Ken's hand.

"Sir, will Nabila forgive all the mistakes Ken has done to her? Nabila must still not forgive Ken, so Nabila does not want to return to this house."

"Ken, not necessarily what we think is true, what if Nabila experienced an event that made him forget us, could Nabila lost his memory?" granny Puspa.

Why didn't I think about it until there? whereas when Nabila had an accident, I saw myself on CCTV if his head hit the asphalt. What might be the guess of Grandma is right if Nabila is currently missing memory, Ken said in his heart.

After finishing breakfast, with a heavy heart, Ken stepped out of the Airlangga residence, and Ken shed tears when he saw the shadow of Nabila who always waved when he was about to leave for work.

"Ken's spirit, you can definitely get through all this for the sake of Nabila and your Son" muttered Ken who cheered himself on.

......................

Rendi was very happy with the birth of Rendra, and now she is so enjoying the days as a new father, even though every night Rendi had to stay up late to accompany Nabila, because Rendra always wakes up at night.

"Mas, you should just sleep, pity that every night stay up, tomorrow Mas will have to work," said Nabila.

"Darling, Mas could not bear that Zahra had to stay up alone waiting for Rendra, besides Mas wanted to always see our Son, during the day Dad could not see Rendra," said Rendi by continuing to kiss the face of Rendra, and Nabila smiled to see Rendi who was so fond of Rendra, even though there is still something stuck in the heart of Nabila, because everyone who sees Rendra will say if Rendra is not similar to Rendi or Nabila.

"Honey, why does Zahra daydream?" ask Rendi to Nabila.

"Mas, why is it that everyone who sees Rendra will always say if Rendra is not similar to Mas Rendi or Zahra, when clearly Rendra is our biological child," said Nabila.

I'm sorry Nabila, because I can't be honest that Rendra isn't my son. Someday when your memory returns, you will also remember if Rendra is not my Son, but Mr. Ken's Son, even the faces of the two of them are so similar, said Rendi in his heart.

"Honey, whose name is a baby whose face is still changing, later also Rendra will look like his father," said Rendi who tried to eliminate doubts on Nabila's heart.

"Yes also Mas, the same father Mother also said so. Then now Mas Rendi sleeps, maybe Rendra has slept too," said Nabila who currently put Rendra to sleep in the baby box, and it turns out that when Nabila turned around, Rendi had fallen asleep too.

Nabila stared fixedly at the faces of Rendi and Rendra alternately, and a moment later Nabila felt his head suddenly hurt.

Why is the face of a man named Ken always reflected in my memory, especially when I see the face of Rendra? batin Nabila now wonders.

"No, this is all impossible, why is Rendra's face so similar to that of a man named Ken?" muttered Nabila who increasingly felt pain in his head.
