94. News About Mama

Kirana was currently together with Galih and Amira, sitting at one of the tables in the cafeteria. Galih helps Amira to split her chicken to cool down immediately while in front of her Kirana struggles to resist nausea while chewing her food.

Several times Kirana put her hands to cover her mouth and then fell silent before chewing her food again. His wife was not as sensitive as yesterday, so Galih began to assume something was wrong with her.

“Your mood is really messy huh Ma?” ask Galih.

Kirana could not answer. He just nodded then tried to scoop the soto sauce in front of him then put it in the mouth hoping that the warm sauce of this chicken soto could calm the turmoil in his stomach.

Galih so remembered the bad sentences that Kirana got earlier. Kirana is fine. Many received it with open arms moreover all knew she was the younger sister of commander Adnan and the wife of commander Galih. Many did not dare to mess with him.

If it wasn't for Mama Gigi suddenly coming to Jogja, messing things up by spreading bad rumors about Kirana this wouldn't have happened. Galih also knows that many people start to talk no-nothing about Kirana starting from the gossip. Strange indeed, at the beginning they praised Kirana but only with one news of the bird that is not known the truth they immediately believed and began to judge.

“Papa..,” call Kirana on Galih.

“Hmm?”

“Tonight take my anter to the hospital can not?” ask Kirana.

“I'm really afraid, All day I've been tired of the ugly horrors continue,” said Kirana again because Galih did not immediately answer.

Instead of not wanting to, when asked, Galih actually prefers to accompany Kirana to the hospital but her job can not be abandoned. The reports he had to work on were mounting, not to mention the procurement proposal where he had to deal with the entirety of the financial section until it was revised many times just because of the budget of funds.

“Let's try yes,” said Galih is only owned by Kirana.

...***...

The more afternoon the more Galih dissolved in his work. He promised to go home before 5 but Galih himself was only aware of the time when he heard the isya’ adhan was proclaimed from the mosque headquarters. In a hurry Galih immediately left the headquarters and returned home. He did not pay attention to whether his phone and wallet were carried or not.

When he arrived, the atmosphere of his home was so quiet. Even the headlights don't turn on. He also did not find his car in the garage. It seems Kirana has gone to the hospital, but because her phone is dead she cannot immediately contact Kirana.

“Ahh, what a fool,” said Galih blamed himself.

Galih was confused as to how when he heard the sound of his car entering the garage. Before long Galih saw Amira coming into his house with a pouting face, “Papa breaking his promise,” he said.

“Duh, brother sorry Papa yes. Papa is wrong,” said Galih.

“Mama was crying Pa, but no Papa,” said Amira.

The slope is getting down. He leaves Amira to find out why Kirana did not enter the house immediately. He found Kirana still sitting behind the steering wheel. As Amira said earlier, Kirana was crying. I don't know what happened to him, I don't know what he heard from the doctor, but what is clearly visible at this time is that his wife was crying while looking down.

“Ma, come out yuk,” said Galih persuading Kirana to get off the car.

“Mama...,” said again after not getting a response.

“A..,”

“Doctor says what until you cry like gini?” ask Galih.

“Manya Bang Raihan in hospital,” said.

Galih first helps Kirana out of the car, then asks her to sit in the living room together with Amira. Instead of getting a glass of warm water and she gave it to Kirana so she could be a little calmer.

“If it's quiet you tell me slowly. Aa listen until it's done,” said Galih who was sitting next to Kirana while stroking Kirana's hair.

“Mama had met someone Pa, it was Mama crying,” said Amira.

“Kak, do you have a task? Working there first or if you have no duty, you sleep. It's late, I'm sorry you have to talk to Papa,” ask Kirana to make Amira nod obediently and go into her room after saying good night to both parents.

“So you said his mother Bang Raihan entered the hospital, you met him?” ask Galih.

Kirana shook her head, “I met with Papa and Mama, and her Papa Bang Raihan in the hospital. She said she went to the hospital because of high blood pressure. Last night Mama passed out and was immediately taken to the ER with Papa,” confided Kirana.

Galih's heart was a little slashed to see his current wife, but his logic understood. Both of Raihan's parents were also like real parents to Kirana. It was natural for Kirana to be sad regardless of what happened between them.

“You want to see? Aa inter if yes,” said Galih.

“It looks like it can't be a,” reject Kirana.

“Why?”

“Mama hates me, Mama also hates Amira. Mama thinks me and Amira are the cause of Bang Raihan's death. Because at that time Bang Raihan refused treatment to be able to accompany me and keep Amira during my coma. Since Bang Raihan's death, I've tried to apologize several times and I don't want to forgive. That's why I had to keep my distance from them. I understand a, Bang Raihan is the only child of their pride. I am also a mother, imagining losing a child alone is terrible especially if it happens like Mama lost Bang Raihan,” Kirana back crying.

“Already Mama, istighfar. All of this has a way. How well do we take care of the child, if God has willed we will not be able to run away. Pray that Mama will improve. If getting an apology from Mama can calm your heart, aa will help you work. If need aa will also apologize on your behalf,” said Galih.

“Better not a, Mama is being sensitive once. When Mama heard our marriage I knew Mama was raging, especially if aa to dare to approach,” prevent Kirana.

“Ya is no longer. Aa will not do anything. But beautiful aa don't cry anymore dong, ugly tuh his face bengep,” Galih tried to tease Kirana hope her mood will improve.

“Gara-gara aa anyway,” says Kirana.

“Lho really is the wrong me.”

“Aa to break a promise. He said to go to the hospital, where? hp is not active,” said Kirana.

Galih got off the sofa and knelt before Kirana and then raised both hands exactly like a student who was punished by the teacher for not doing the task. Kirana saw what Galih was doing finally laughing. Galih saw for himself his wife began to laugh when the tears in the fertilizer had not dried up. The marks on the cheeks are still not gone.

“Aa,” call him.

“Iya?”

“I need aa malem this, later sleep I ask hug can?” ask Kirana.

“More can also, you are happy to grant whatever your request,” replied Galih eagerly able to restore the smile of Kirana who is now standing in front of him then immediately embraced him.

Galih returned Kirana's embrace. His right hand he put behind Kirana's head then his lips kissed the tip of Kirana's head to calm the mood of his wife who he knew was turbulent all day, my “raga may not always be with you, she said, but you must believe that my heart and soul will always be with you. I assure you Kirana Dwi Dhanastri, you are the first and last for me,” whispered Galih right in Kirana's ear.
