Don't Take My Son

Time to Make Peace

"Omaaaa.......?" The voice of the call of the little boy who was now no stranger to his ears made Rafael's mother a little surprised, she immediately turned her head towards her grandson who was walking towards her. He had just lit an electric kettle to cook hot water. Mami Rafael's morning habit of making green tea water.

"Rakha is awake? It's still morning." Mama Rafael looks surprised to see the little children have been up so early, usually the children will wake up at six or seven o'clock. The time is still five in the morning Singapore time, and Rakha has been up since fifteen minutes ago, he woke up his dady to invite him to congregational dawn prayers, then go to the bathroom to urinate and ablution, it sudsh becomes Rakha's habit every day. When Rafael was still in the bathroom, Rakha came out of the room and it turned out that there was already his omanya in the kitchen not far from the room where Rakha slept. The apartment has three rooms with each bathroom in it.

"I want to pray the dawn of Oma, worship the same Dady, Oma has prayed yet?" Her grandson's question stunned her. Prayer .....? When was the last time he prayed, it seems like Eid al-Adha yesterday he prayed together in the mosque near his home.

"Eu.... " Mommy Rafael is like a confused answer to what, honest or lying.

"If Oma has not prayed at dawn, we worship the same Dady yu Oma, Dady again wudhu."

"Ah yes...Oma hasn't prayed." I don't know why he answered honestly, but he was going to lie saying it already.

"Rakha.ayo we pray." Rafael appears out of his room when he does not find Rakha in the room.

"Yes Dady, Oma also has not prayed, want to pray in prayer, is it Oma?" The adorable boy could not make his eyes reject his granddaughter's invitation.

"Eeh..iya." replied Mami Rafael. Rafael frowned. Since when her mother prayed, she was either there or not in this apartment. Sure enough mami Rafael looks confused, he just remembered the prayer must wear a mukena, because everyday he did not close his aurat by using a hijab.

"Oma take the mucena first well, uh or you guys pray first, fear the old oma will go to the bathroom first." Finally mama Rafael ngeles not to pray together, he really does not remember in this apartment save mukena or not.

"Yes already, Rakha let's pray." Raphael invited his son into the room to pray. And her mom went into her room whether she prayed at dawn or not.

Now they are sitting at the dinner table to enjoy breakfast, there is Rafael, Rakha, Oma and Opanya. Richan doesn't seem to be among them. Mama Rafael prepares a breakfast menu of sandwiches and milk plus cereals for Rakha. They enjoyed breakfast without a sound, but occasionally Mama Rafael noticed her granddaughter enjoying her lackluster breakfast, playing her spoon in a bowl of milk and chocolate cereal.

"Rakha wants Oma to feed him." Ask.

"No Oma. I can eat by myself." replied his grandson uninspired.

"Why? Rakha doesn't like the cereal?" Rafael knows Rakha is not too fond of chocolate, he prefers star-shaped cereal, yesterday Rafael forgot to tell his mama until Mami Rafael bought him a brown one.

"I miss momy, dady." Said Rakha while looking down, again he remembered his momy.

"Our breakfast vidio call momy, let's spend Rakha's breakfast, okay." There is no other way to release Rakha kangen on her momy other than vidio call, Rafael understands that, he also does not want to see his son moody continue, even though they are on vacation, Rakha should be happy to enjoy his vacation.

"Ok Dady." Rakha also began to spend his breakfast even though there is still leftover, full he said.

"Today Opa wants to take Rakha swimming, then see the fish in the giant aquarium, Rakha would like" Opanya tried to attract the attention of Rakha with her travel plans so as not to remember her momy continues.

After breakfast Rafael contact Kharisa, Rakha just in front of the HP screen waiting for his momy.

"Momy....."

"Why didn't Momy come here....?"

"I want to go out with Momy." There was sadness on Rakha's face, but this was not the first time she was away from her mom, and not the first time to go with her dady, for some reason Rakha was like the one who missed Kharisa so much. They both dissolve in each other's homesickness, Rakha told me about the experience in disneyland yesterday, Kharisa gave advice that Rakha recited the same dady, must want to eat, and do not forget to pray.

"I pray with Dady, momy, but I don't get paid, Ummi's book isn't brought."

"Although I want to be invited to swim with Opa, tlus to the giant aqualium." he said.

"Be careful there well, don't get away from the dady, ok." Now Kharisa has looked strong, does not show his sadness, but his heart still feels pain, considering his son is with people who did not want his son, did not even want him. Kharisa closed his vidio call connection because he had to go to work.

Mami Rafael watches Rakha closely, he can see even feel how close his grandson is to his mother. He recalled that when his children were young, he was not that close to his children, including Raphael. Rakha was sad when she was not with Kharisa, because Kharisa was so attentive to his son.

True said Rafael, Kharisa a good mother, educated Rakha well, can be seen how Rakha became an independent child, polite, obedient, obedient, and that makes Mami Rafael salute at the age of five years, Rakha has been praying, even reminding those around him. It feels embarrassed if his grandson knows it turns out his omanya does not perform prayers.

"El...Will Kharisa come here?"

"Why, then, Mih?" Raphael wondered if his mother had asked Kharisa.

"Rakha seems happy that there's a momy here."

"Sure, as long as Kharisaah is the closest to Rakha, they have never been separated for long. But Kharisa didn't want to be invited here, didn't momy also not want Kharisa to be here?" Somehow Rafael's words and questions seemed to touch the heart of his mother. Yes, it is not Kharisa who does not want to be here, accompanying his son on vacation, but he who does not want Kharisa close to Rafael, even he has asked him to stay away from Rafael. But why now he feels sorry for what he has done to Kharisa.

Can he change his words?

Seeing Kharisa reminds him of the past that made his life feel destroyed, slumped, even took years until he finally accepted his life destiny.

And now he wants to make peace with his past, feel happy when with his grandson, but also feel sadness when his grandson is sad to make him want to continue to see his grandson happy, he said, and the happiness of his grandson was with Kharisa and his son. He was convinced to make peace with Kharisa, but would Kharisa forgive him?

"El..coba invite Kharisa to follow here, just say Rakha wants to vacation with her momy."
