Don't Take My Son

From Heart to Heart

Kharisa had just got off the car of a million people, the inventory car of the hospital that had just drove him to visit several midwife clinics located quite a distance from the hospital, followed by Zaki who came down carrying two plastic bags containing food, one bag containing two chicken broths, another bag containing cassava tape, and another bag containing a chicken brood, typical food area that has just visited Kharisa and Zaki, they had visited several independent practice clinics midwives. It turns out that the food that Zaki brought was souvenirs from one of the midwives visited, he said as a thank you because during this time especially Kharisa always helped the process when referring patients from his clinic to the hospital.

Kharisa always wellcome when contacted at any time and always provide a solution when the midwife is experiencing problems in the process of referring patients, for example when there is no vehicle to drive patients, and there are no vehicles to take patients, Kharisa quickly helped the process of providing hospital ambulances to pick up patients, there were also referral patients who experienced cost constraints, while patients did not have health insurance, he said, Kharisa helps the process to be filed for fee waivers by getting discounts and payments by instillation to the hospital, because the hospital itself actually has a social function to help people who cannot afford it, as long as it can show administrative evidence if the patient is not financially able. But sometimes other officers like to be lazy to help the process.

He walked into the lobby that looks crowded by hospital visitors, the waiting chair in front of the registration looks full, this condition is commonly seen in the afternoon, he said, it coincides with the opening of almost all outpatient clinics. While going to the elevator, he suddenly turned his body to face Zaki who followed behind.

"Mas Zaki, go upstairs first, I have a little business."

"Where are you? How's this? If it's nyampe above definitely want to eat." Zaki asked as he slightly raised the food he had lined up.

" I go ahead and eat if anyone wants to, share." Kharisa rushes outside the lobby with his heart pounding, his hands flat on each other, he stands on the terrace of the lobby, occasionally looking inside with a restless face. It turned out that he had seen someone he did not want to see, seeing him only reminded him of his past that made his heart ache. Yes, Kharisa saw Mami Rafael standing in front of the elevator with Vania. At the moment he doesn't want to meet with Rafael's mom, but there's no way he's been outside going on. He also had to send an email whose data was on his computer, while the time had shown at half-four in the afternoon. It seems like Mami Rafael is going to the sixth floor as well, maybe to the director's room, so if she goes upstairs it might be possible to meet up. Finally Kharisa went to mushola to perform the Ashar prayer.

After the prayer Ashar Kharisa ventured into his room, when he was about to approach the elevator, then he saw a woman who looked elegant figure walking out of the elevator, this time accompanied by his son who else if not Rafael. Kharisa immediately turned his back on a brisk walk towards the outpatient polyclinic, he really did not want to meet his Mama Rafael. After making sure Rafael and his mom were out of the lobby, he immediately got into an open elevator leading to his office on the sixth floor.

"Kharisa, the rover has been opened one, but again at the meal." Zaki exclaimed as Kharisa entered the room. Zaki, Ahmad and Mila were sitting at the meeting table enjoying the broth with its sauce without rice, while Siska sat at her desk reluctant to join, she was jaim, indeed, pretending not to want after knowing it was a bus for Kharisa, but from earlier wanted to taste it. Especially after Kharisa came he was more reluctant to join, he preferred to tidy up his desk and get ready to go home, ten minutes more their working hours were completed. Their boss Andre was not seen in his room, he was in a meeting with the director along with the other managers.

"One more take home, share Mil for Mas Ahmad and Mas Zaki, good for dinner friends, if I'm at home my mama must have cooked." Kharisa said to Mila after tasting one piece of her thigh. The broth is delicious, chicken but not alot, the spice was seeped into the inside of the chicken meat.

Kharisa was sitting at work, he took HP out of his bag, then checked it, it turns out there was an incoming call and some messages in his WA chat. There was a phone call from Rafael, he scrunched his forehead, what was Rafael calling him at half-four more, meaning that earlier when he was praying, his HP was indeed in silent. There's a WA message from Rafael, too.

"Sa, I want to take Rakha for a walk now, I called you earlier, you didn't pick up." Kharisa frowned again, wasn't Rafael with his mother out of the hospital? Did Rafael go to his house with his mama? Or just Rafael himself and his mom back to Jakarta. But why when it was working hours Rafael even took Rakha for a walk, shouldn't he be meeting with the director with other managers?

Now Kharisa's mood is suddenly foggy, imagining his son might be meeting Omanya, a woman who once rejected his granddaughter, and would not admit it. He is now sitting pensive, his plan to install a report he seems to undo, choosing to sit quietly waiting for the time to go home.

While in one of the finance workspaces, Vania was in her cubicle staring at her computer screen that displayed a table of hospital bills for health insurance companies. His eyes were staring at the numbers on the screen, but not at his thoughts. It is still clear what was said by Mami Rafael earlier in his mess house. She could see that Mami Rafael was telling the truth, but her heart and mind were still digesting. He even sympathized with the woman who bore his son Rafael, if what Rafael's mother told him was true.

"What Rafael said is true, he has had a child from his high school sweetheart, but you are calm you will still be a aunt's daughter-in-law, you and Rafael will continue your engagement to the marriage stage." Mami Rafael does not deny, but she insists that Vania remains her son-in-law.

"Aunty hope you can accept Rafael's past, aunty make sure now between them there is nothing to do, Rafael only feels responsible to his son. Dear Vania, will you accept her son Rafael? You want to love him like you love your own son." At that time Mami Rafael clasped Vania's hands, there was guilt because the fact that her son had had a child from another woman, but she seemed to really hope that Vania would accept her son's shortcomings and past.

"But the aunt, Rafael himself did not want to continue this engagement, he still loved the woman, the mother of his son." Vania herself is not sure if her engagement will continue to see how serious Rafael was yesterday.

"Dear Vania, for your aunt who deserves to be a aunt's daughter-in-law, until whenever the aunt will not accept the woman to be a aunt's daughter-in-law, the aunt can accept Rafael's child as a aunt's grandchild, but not with his mother."

"But why aunt, the woman has given grandchildren to aunty, aunty grandchildren must be in desperate need of a full family." Somehow Vania felt that Rafael's mother was unfair and her speech was against Vania's little heart.

"Sstt.why do you support them dear. There is a special reason why the aunt cannot accept the woman to be a aunt's daughter-in-law who can't explain to you. What aunty wants you to be able to play the role of a mother to aunty's grandchildren, as long as you want to accept and love aunty's grandchildren, you can?"

"Sorry aunt, I can't tell you what kind of decision I have to talk about with my mom and dad." Such was Vania's answer, although Rafael's mother supported the relationship continues but her little heart seemed to be in revolt. Too bad that woman was not accepted by Rafael's mother, what is it? He became more curious who the woman was, Mami Rafael must know, he asked her on the occasion.

"Who's aunt is that woman? Auntie must know and know him, right?"

"He's just Rafael's past, his high school girlfriend, you know what kind of high school date he is, who loves monkeys."

"May I know who she's auntie? His name, where is he staying?"

"His name is Kharisa.ah have you not to think about the woman, aunt sure she has no relationship with Rafael, other than being bound because there is a child."

Degs.....

The name was the same as the name of the woman he had suspected, but was it the same person?

And now it's that name that's going around in Vania's mind. He had to make sure, ask directly to the person, who a few days yesterday had been observed, if it is true that the woman Kharisa marketing staff of this hospital, it means that it is great that Kharisa can cover his relationship with Rafael, he said, she was invisible and no one knew she had children.

He entered the marketing room after knocking on the door that opened several times, but no one invited him in, he ventured in to see the woman he was going to meet, there was no one other than Kharisa who was sitting at his workplace, with a blank look.

"Ehm....." Vania gyang already in front of Kharisa's desk deliberately cleared her throat to resuscitate Kharisa, kharisa was surprised in front of him had stood someone he knew but not very familiar with.

"E...Uh....Vania MBA?" Kharisa immediately stood up from his seat, his heart beating fast in shock "Is there anything I can help you with? Want to see Andre sir? Looks like he hasn't returned from a meeting with the director." He said with his friendly attitude.

"I need to be with you, can we talk to you both?"

"A... Me ?" Kharisa asked in surprise, feeling that there was no problem with his work that had to be discussed with the financial department, but he realized not about his business with Rafael, did Vania already know about his past relationship with Rafael?

"Hows it? Can I have a minute of your time?" Vania's request makes Kharisa look clumsy.

"Ah.ya can Ma'am, a minute....." Kharisa took a chair from Mila's desk, taking her towards Vania.

"Please sit down Mommy." Kharisa offered a chair and invited Vania to sit, with her heart pounding, in her heart she wondered, what would Vania talk about?

"You must be wondering well I came here and wanted to talk to you." Said Vania relaxed, did not look the slightest face of hostility that he showed although now his heart is increasingly convinced that the Kharisa mentioned by Mami Rafael is the same person who is in front of him, but now his heart is more certain that the Kharisa mentioned Mami Rafael is the same person who is in front of him, unlike her friend Meita, who always shows hostility because she feels Kharisa is a rival to approach Andre.

"You're not in a hurry to get home, are you? It was also raining heavily outside" he said.

"Ah yes...is what you want to talk about?" In her little heart Kharisa was so worried that Vania wanted to ask her about her relationship with Rafael, she was afraid that Vania would blaspheme him because it was possible that Raphael had broken off their engagement and now Vania came crashing down on him, when viewed from Vania's attitude he was so calm and did not look anger on his face, Kharisa so confused himself.

"I want to clarify something, but I'm sorry that I was wrong, I didn't mean to accuse you, but I'm kindly honest." Kharisa looks riled up, it looks like his guess is right, Vania already knows it, maybe Rafael has told everything, he must be ready to accept the anger of Vania and maybe Vania will hate him.

"Do you have a relationship with Rafael?" Vania asked, Kharisa was stunned to hear Vania's question, he was confused what to answer, because honestly for now he did not have a special relationship with Rafael other than limited Rafael was the father of his son.

" A.I have nothing to do with Rafael Mbak, uh with Rafael's doctor." Kharisa answered nervously, for some reason he was so nervous when Vania asked nicely.

"Having a relationship in the past maybe? You don't have to be afraid, I won't say anything to you, I just need to know what the real story is." Seeing Kharisa nervous makes Vania now more convinced that the woman Rafael loves is Kharisa who is in front of him. " Rafael told me he already had a child with the woman he loved."

"Mba, I do have a past story with Rafael but really, at the moment I have nothing to do with him, and I will not interfere with Mbak's engagement with Rafael, really Mommy."

"Who said you ruined our relationship? I just want to hear a story directly from you, challenge your relationship with Rafael, about your son too."

"Take it now that we're talking from heart to heart." Said Vania relaxed.

Kharisa also began with the story, let Vania know everything, even though her heart felt pain again, as if scraping old wounds, Kharisa could not hold back her sadness, he told her as was, she told him so, not added and reduced how she struggled while pregnant, giving birth and raising her son, as well as her efforts so that Rafael know the whereabouts of his son, who never got a reception from her mother Rafael. Without realizing it, Vania was also in tears to feel the pain experienced by Kharisa.

And it doesn't feel like time is getting any bigger.

Even dusk came, but today's twilight does not seem to want to show its beauty, there is no twilight shade with a pink color to send the Sun to the contest. The sky turned black, dark and the rain was still falling heavily, as if nature also felt the mood of two women who were lulled in sadness.

seriated

It turns out that Vania is not as bad as you imagine her friends, she is soft-hearted, and apparently not selfish, because what she thinks is not her happiness but the happiness of her parents.
