Don't Take My Son

Don't Take My Son
Restu Mami's



In an apartment located in downtown Singapore, precisely on top of a mall not far from a famous hospital in Southeast Asia, Rafael just finished making a phone call with Kharisa, who is not far from the capital, precisely Kharisa who first closed their conversation. He approached his sleeping son, sitting next to him.


Someone knocked on the door of his room, and it was not long before the door opened. It turned out that Rafael's mother, without asking for permission again, stepped into her son's room.


"Rakha's still asleep?" Ask.


"Still Mih, ketchup him." Rafael approached his mother who had just sat on the sofa. He sat down next to her, leaning his head against the back of the sofa, as if showing he was tired.


"How's kharisa? Already contacted?" Apparently my mother came to Rafael's room to ask Kharisa.


"He can't come here Mih." Reply Rafael lirih.


"You said that Rakha wants to go out with her mom?"


"Already, but he still does not want to, he wants a vacation here next week, as well as his mother, so Rakha will come back here again."


"He didn't want to come here because of mom."


"Mih, actually Kharisa has decided to leave me, as you want, but I will maintain my relationship with Kharisa even though my mother does not approve, I'm sorry if I can't be a submissive child with mommy, all this I do because I want to be the man responsible for the mistakes I've done before. I also love Kharisa very much, and love Rakha, my own flesh and blood, I cannot be separated from them. So if you still want to separate me from Kharisa, I'm sorry mih, I will continue to fight for Kharisa and the blessing of his father. I don't want any other father for Rakha, only me his father, his dady." Raphael spoke solemnly, sitting upright in front of his mother.


"El..sorry mami." The middle-aged woman looked teary-eyed, either because she heard her son's words or because she was sorry for what he had done to her son and the mother of his granddaughter.


"If mami apologizes to Kharisa, will she forgive mami." His mother's words suddenly made Rafael stunned in disbelief, did he not hear wrong?


"Mami want to apologize to Kharisa? Means ......means that you accept Kharisa?" Ask not to believe.


"So mami blessed me with Kharisa?" He asked again, holding his mama's hand. Mami nodded her head along with the crystal clear falling on her cheek. Raphael hugged his mother.


"What mami deserves to forgive Kharisa, mami must have hurt her heart so much."


"Kharisa's a good man, he's forgiving, he must be sorry mami." Rafael still hugged his mother, patting her on the back, reassuring her.


"Back from here we meet Kharisa ya Mih, we both apologize to him. Thank you Mih, thank you for accepting Kharisa, thank you for blessing us. From the beginning I believed that my mother was always a great mother to me." And the sobs of mami's cries broke in the arms of her son's burly body. Raphael did not want to ask again what made his mother turn one hundred and eighty degrees to accept Kharis, the important thing is that her mother had received Kharisa, only to convince Kharisa to get back together, being a full-fledged parent to Rakha.


"Momy....." Rakha's moaning voice called out to his mom. Rafael rushed over to Rakha.


"Wake up, baby?" Rafael frowned, apparently Rakha was still asleep, his eyes closed, but looking agitated, he tightened his arms on the pillow he had been holding since.


"Still sleepy boy...?" Rafael rubbed Rakha's cheek, but to his surprise, as Rakha's cheek was hot.


"You have a fever, baby." He felt again Rakha's forehead area which was also hot. Now there was anxiety on his face.


"Rakha why?" Tanya mami, she approached Rakha, sticking the back of her hand on the area of Rakha's face.


" Fever...?" El, it looks like you have to buy a heat-lowering drug for a child, here the mother is not ready for medicine for a child, the tablet. "May get me the thermometer first." Mami came out of the room with a small run, while Rafael flicked the covering of Rakha's body


"Hey Boy, you will be fine, wake up yuk, already want maghrib." Rafael wakes Rakha up by rubbing his cheek, already three hours more Rakha sleep, apparently not because of ordinary soybeans, but because of the condition of Rakha's body is weak, Rakha's body is weak, currently Rakha's body is fighting against either the virus or bacteria that stop in his body, until there is a fever reaction.


"Dady.I'm thirsty." her voice sounded weak.


"Okay, dady grab a drink first, Rakha can't come down well." Rakha nodded her head. Rafael went to the kitchen to fetch water, and when he returned to the room he was sitting on the bed beside Rakha.


"It's 38.8°C El, you have to buy medicine first." said mami.


"It's Rakha to drink first, let's drink first, baby." Rafael helps hold a glass, half a glass of Rakha's run aground, as if he's really thirsty.


"Dady went to buy medicine for Rakha first yeah, Rakha wait here same Oma, okay."


"But dady don't be long yah."


"It's just for a little while, Dady's just downstairs buying medicine." Rafael leaves Rakha and his mother.


After Rafael's departure, Mami sits next to her granddaughter.


"Rakha's dizzy?" Mami asked as she rubbed Rakha's head.


"A little bit.." she replied.


"Rakha eat porridge first well, later Oma masakin for Rakha, or Rakha want cream soup?" Rakha just nodded her head.


"Oma, I'm going home, I'm going to see momy."


"Yes, the day after tomorrow we will go home, but Rakha must be healthy first. Later before returning home Oma bought toys for Rakha. Rakha wants what toys?" The sound of her voice was shaking, her eyes were back in tears.


"Oma cry? why is Oma crying?" Apparently Rakha neti was observant also saw there was a puddle in his eye.


"No, no cry, Oma was just moved, could be with Rakha vacation here. Rakha is not?" Oma wiped the tears in her eyes.


Rakha nodded her head. " I miss momy." Rakha said while grumbling.


"Yes, when Rakha gets home, she meets Momy."


Forgive Oma, because of Oma's selfishness, you became separated from your dady, you must have gone through difficult days with your momy. Oma promised you'd live happily with your momy and dady.


The door of the room opened, as Rafael walked in, followed by someone behind him, his older brother Richan.


"Take the medicine first baby, let the fever go down." Rafael opens the syrup medicine packaging, pouring it into the medicine glass according to the right dose dose for Rakha. Rakha is not difficult to take medicine.


"Oma make cream soup first for Rakha, Rakha must eat a lot." My mother moved to the kitchen.


I'll make you the best cream soup, my grandson. Hopefully you will never know if Ima never thought of you, you need to know now Oma loves you very much.
