Don't Take My Son

Mutual Forgiveness

"Lad...." Spontaneous Kharisa called out to his papa as both eyes found the male figure he wanted to meet. He stood up from his seat and approached his papa who was still standing on the porch. When the mother who was opening the snack pack Rakha was surprised to hear Karisa calling papa, her eyes followed Kharisa who approached her papa.

" Pope..." Kharisa grabbed his papa hand, kissed the back of his hand, then hugged his papa who also hugged him back longingly. Missing her daughter's pride, after her daughter had failed her due to being pregnant out of wedlock, even worse left her. Now the pride in his daughter grows again after Rendi tells how Kharisa's current life is the backbone for her mother and son, who are the backbone of her life, succeeding to become a bachelor by struggling to get a scholarship and graduate with cumlaude predicate, certainly not easy. Which parent is not proud to see his daughter's success achieved through earnest struggle.

"Why not go inside, but outside." Said papa after taking off his embrace. "Let's go in."

"Well, I came here with Mama, and Bi Nani, with my son too." Kharisa looked at his papa who looked so calm, while his heart beat faster. Papa returned Kharisa's gaze gently, still looking a glow of longing in his papa's eyes, longing for his daughter, maybe also on his second wife. Kharisa looked back where his mother was, followed by his stalled papa look at the woman with a different look than before the last time papa saw her. However her face did not change much, still remaining beautiful and attractive in her eyes. The hijab she wears instead makes her look more graceful.

Papa and Mama both flinch, staring at each other from a distance that is not too close. There was no anger on papa's face, which there were longing gazes after all these years of their separation. Papa recalls his chat with his first wife after Rendi said that he invited Kharisa and his mother.

"Mas let's just say this is my last wish that my time is soon. Forgive the Goddess, take her home with Kharisa as well as her son, our grandson. Forget about Mas's past, we're old, it's no time to keep each other's egos." His first wife's words were still clearly ringing in his ears.

"I'm sorry I didn't want to follow you, Mas, I just felt like my time was not long, I didn't want it when I left, Mas was alone, Rendi was getting married and after marriage she would move to her house, I want before I go Mas to be reunited with Dewi and Kharisa." Mama Lisna's health condition has indeed decreased, cancer cells that were once declared to have been clear turned back to gnawing on important organs in her body. Now radiating to his liver, several months he did therapy again in Singapore, only now his spirit to fight the disease is saggy, maybe because he was tired, he felt tired, until he feels his life will not be long.

"If Dewi and Kharisa come at Rendi's wedding, Mas must apologize to them and take them home. You want to, right?" At that time Papa Kharisa only nodded his head in front of his wife who was lying weak.

And now that his wife and daughter are in front of him, will he keep his promise?

"Take your mama inside, haven't eaten yet, have you?" Kharisa was relieved to hear his papa's words, meaning that papa accepted their arrival. He nodded his head, with a smile on his lips. With a thumping feeling he approached the mama who was stunned.

"Well, let's go in." Invite Kharisa, "Come Bi, Rakha, let's go in, later greetings with Opa and Oma well." Although she felt accepted by her father, but Kharisa's heart felt pounding, in addition to his goal of wanting to unite her mother with his father, he also wanted to introduce Rakha to his father and hoped that his father would accept Rakha as his grandson.

The atmosphere in the house was already quiet, the immediate family had returned to their respective homes, there were only a few officers from WO who were tidying up the equipment. Kharisa, Mama stopped in the living room, not daring to go deeper, of course they feel foreign and awkward.

Rendi, who had been told by her father that Kharisa and her mother had come to look for Kharisa.

"Om Lendi's......" Shouted Rakha calling his om.

"Hi...Om's niece has come to it." Rendi approached Rakha, kissing her head, shaking hands with mama , Kharisa and Bi Nani. His appearance now has used ordinary clothes, trousers and shirts, his hair is still wet, his face looks fresh, looks just finished bathing.

"Mas Rendi sorry well we came late, can not see the flush procession, hopefully tomorrow the show is smooth yes Mas." said Kharisa.

"Nothing De, thanks for coming here first." Rendi rubbed her sister's head.

"Mah Uwi, thank you for coming here." Mama just smiled and nodded her head.

"Ren, mama wants to see your mama." What mom remembers is of course her husband's first wife, who had been kind enough to share her husband with her, she was the great woman she knew, when she was tested for uterine cancer, she instead asked him to be the wife of her husband, becoming her honey.

"Mama was in her room, after the event finished mama went straight to the room, now her health condition is declining again."

"Oh... Not that your mama is healthy, the kangker is free, right? Let your mama rest first." Mama said, he didn't want to disturb.

"Nothing Mah Uwi, let's meet mama, he must be happy to meet Mah Uwi and Kharisa, was also sudsh nanyain continue."

They also met mama Lisna in her room, in the middle room there is no papa, there is only the eldest son of papa, Reza and his wife who was sitting on the sofa while enjoying the dishes that are still served, they greeted each other. I don't know where Papa is, but he asked them to come in.

Inside the room Mama Lisna was sitting leaning on the bed. He looked up when he heard the door of his room open. Looks like Rendi came in to him.

"Mama Uwi and Kharisa have arrived." Said Rendi, automatically mama lisna turned to the door, and sure enough there had stood the woman who became her honey with her daughter, and her daughter, behind him Bi Nani leads a small child who when last met is still in a sling.

"Where have you been....?" Asked Mama Lisna in her sobs.

"I'm sorry Ma'am." Mama's tears could not be dammed anymore, how sad he saw the state of the woman he admired, her face looked pale, her body became thin, very different from the circumstances before he left five years ago. She thought that after the surgical removal of the uterus and continued therapy until her cancer cells were cleared, her husband's first wife had completely healed, but her conjecture was wrong, now he saw for himself his condition even looks worse than his pain first.

Meanwhile, Rendi invites Rakha out of the room, so as not to see the sadness of the two omanya, Bi Nani also comes out leaving Kharisa who moved closer to mama and mama.

"Sir...is sick again?" Mama asked after releasing her embrace, and wiping her tears, now clasping Mama Lisna's hands together.

"It seems that God still wants to test my patience, and now I have sincerely accepted everything, even if God does not give me a chance any longer......"

"Mr....Ma'am do not talk like that, it could be long-lived, sick does not guarantee someone faster called Allah, it could be me who God called first." Mama holding Mama Lisna's hand getting stronger, as if giving strength.

"My liver function has hardened and the cancer cells in my body may have spread to other organs, and my time may not be long. I'm glad you came, it looks like God planned everything out perfectly." Mama Lisna sighed, breathing as much air as her chest felt tight. Lately it often complains of tightness, oxygen tubes and hoses have been prepared beside his bed.

"Why Ma'am, tight?" Mama looks worried, and so does Kharisa.

"Mama Lisna should just rest, the oxygen will be installed?" Ask Kharisa who is no stranger to medical equipment. He often sees how dimters and nurses deal with congested patients on IGD.

"Not to." Mama Lisna shook her head.

"Wi, Kharis.please forgive Papa well, go back home, and regroup with Papa."

"He's also sorry about what he did, forget the past, you should be happy with your dad." Mama Lisna spoke so sincerely, she really hoped her honey could be back together with her husband again.

Czech....

Hearing the door of the closed room opened by someone, the three of them turned to look at the open door. Papa with his sturdy body stood stunned staring at the three women he loved.

"Mom...."

"Buck...." Mama Lisna called her husband in a voice that sounded soft. "Come here."

Kharisa shifted his standing position to give his father a chance to be near mama Lisna and her mother. He stood near his two wives. Mama's face looks pale, not because of lack of blood, but in front of the husband she once left behind makes her blood flow feel stopped, but her heart feels beating faster.

"Buck...." With trembling lips mom greeted her husband, accompanied by a nod of her head.

"Wi....." Papa said hello to his wife who left him.

"Kharis, can you take Mama to the living room in a wheelchair? Mama wants to see my granddaughter." Of course Mama Lisna's words were just her nonsense to give her husband a chance to be free to talk to his second wife.

"Oh yeah, it could be Mah." Kharisa immediately brought the wheelchair closer to the bed, Mama Lisna moved from her seat, assisted by Papa, lowered her legs and moved to a wheelchair. Mama just stood quietly watching mama Lisna until Kharisa brought mama Lisna out of the room. My mom and dad are in the room.

"Wi. I'm sorry." An apology so easily came out of papa's mouth, making the stunned mama in disbelief staring at her husband's face, earnestness radiated across her face. Finally, a devantara who is known to be hard-hearted, stone-headed, turns out to easily say an apology, even though the mother thinks she is the one who has to apologize to her husband. What makes papa so easy to behave like that. Though five years ago so hard hearted papa wanted Kharisa to abort his womb, is it because five years apart can make papa change?
