Don't Take My Son

Dejavu

For some reason since leaving for work Kharisa's heart felt pounding fast, his heart was riled when he remembered that today he would meet his mother Rafael. Plus last night lack of sleep because suddenly Rakha fever, his body temperature reached 39 degrees Celsius, only to drop after dawn after twice given the drug dehumidifying. Maybe this is also what makes Kharisa not calm to go to work, even though at Rakha's house accompanied by mama and Bi Nani. It just so happens that my mother is not accompanying my father, because my father is accompanying Mama Lisna to go to Singapore. After mama returned with papa, mama Lisna again eager to do therapy, maybe because of seeing papa who is not sad anymore and more excited about his days, Mama Lisna was back eager to recover.

While on his way to work, Kharisa drove his motorbike at medium speed, trying to focus on the road that began to look crowded with vehicles both cars and motorcycles. Sholawat reading also he chanted in his heart hoping his heart could be calmer.

Arriving at the hospital he got a message from Rafael WA.

"Sa, mommy so come around at about half-hour, I'll have a visit first from the hospital's accreditation guidance team, hopefully soon, I'll tell you again." Just now that his heartbeat had returned to normal, he was back beating fast after reading the message.

There is a fear that the meeting with her mother Rafael did not match her expectations. He walked to his sixth-floor study by imagining the possibility of meeting Rafael's mother. Is it true that Raphael's mother would accept him as her son-in-law or instead ask him to stay away from Rafael? If that's what happened, what should he do? To be hard to defend Rafael and stay with him or give up following the wishes of Rafael's mother?

The brilliance of the shadow at his meeting about three years ago appeared in his mind. Meeting at a restaurant in the area near the campus first. When Mami Rafael asks to adopt Rakha for her brother Rafael, instead she will get an apartment and tuition fees and living expenses. Of course, at that time Kharisa refused, where there was a mother who would be willing to give her child to others, even though at that time her life paspasan firmly rejected him. Then what if now Rafael's mom asks him to get custody of Rakha? He shook his head to dispel the shadow in his mind until he stopped his steps in front of the elevator, it appeared that some people were also waiting for the elevator to open.

"Why Sa?" It turned out that Vania had already been among the few people there.

"Eh...Ma'am, it's okay." replied Kharisa, but there seemed suspicion from the expression on Vania's face

"Don't daydream if the road again or vice versa don't walk while daydreaming." By the side of Vania, it is true that Vania did not believe in Kharisa's answer. Kharisa just grinned, realizing that Vania noticed him. They got into the elevator after the one in the elevator came out.

Ting...the elevator door opened on the sixth floor.

"So don't want to tell a story?" Vania paused in front of the elevator while looking at her watch, there was still fifteen minutes before the working hours started.

"Aren't you busy?" Looks like Kharisa wants to share his heart's turmoil story. Ever since they chatted at Vania's mess house a few days ago, they have felt fit for each other to share stories with.

"There's still fifteen minutes left, let's just talk there." Vania pointed at the guest sofa in front of her.

"What's up Sa? It looks like you were thinking something, until the head rings all."

"Hmm..I want to see Rafael's mom." from her tone of voice, Kharisa looks not excited.

" Auntie Sarah would like to see you?" Vania asked again, the pantesan had contacted her, invited her to meet, he thought he had only come to see Rafael.

"Yes, Rafael said he wanted to see me."

"Good dong, means there is progress, then what are you worried about? Aunt Sarah wants to see you means she's starting to want to get to know you better or maybe she already has you."

"But I'm afraid that if it turns out otherwise, he's asking me to stay away from Rafael, and wants to ask for Rakha's custody?"

"Don't think negatively first, actually Aunt Sarah's a good person, there's no way she's that kind of a deal." Kharisa himself always tried positive thingking but still the shadow of his past always appeared. Kharisa is not much of a story to Vania, Vania does not know what kind of treatment obtained by Kharisa, so it is natural that there are concerns about him at this time.

At exactly eight o'clock they went into each other's rooms. Kharisa's worry is slightly reduced, he threw away his negative thoughts. And at a time like this he remembered Faisal, he had not told him that he would meet Rafael's mother. He also sent a message telling his plan to meet with Mami Rafael, and immediately got a reply containing advice and sincere prayers for the happiness of Kharisa and Rakha.

Eleven o'clock Rafael sent a message telling him that his mother was already at a restaurant not too far from the hospital, Sunda Sari Dining House which Mami Rafael chose to meet Kharisa. Unfortunately Rafael gave news that his position was outside, apparently the director of the Hospital invited him to entertain their guests to a place to eat which was a little far from the hospital.

"Sa sory I'm still outside, you're okay to go first? I'll go straight there."

Of course Kharisa was disappointed to get such a message. He had to meet Rafael's mother alone, he also met his superiors in his room to ask permission, he did not want to make Rafael's mother wait, he did not want to make Rafael's mother wait, Andre also gave permission because he already knew the reason for his permission from Rafael.

Kharisa drove his motor matic with moderate speed, just like this morning when leaving with a pounding heart, dzikir did not escape from his lips until he did not feel he had arrived at the Sunda Sari Dining House, only ten minutes drive from the hospital because the road is quite empty. He parked his motorbike in a special parking area.

With his heart still pounding he walked into the restaurant. Somehow he felt dejavu with a situation like this, before leaving the hospital he contacted his mother asking Rakha, it turned out that the temperature was high again above 38 degrees Celsius. Three years ago when he met Rafael's mother, Rakha also had a fever, even at night after he met his mother Rafael Rakha was taken to the hospital escorted Faisal by motorbike because the temperature continues to be high.

He saw a woman with an elegant appearance using a long skirt suit with a flower motif, a plain top in soft green. Yes it's Rafael's mother who hasn't changed much since the last time she saw him, still looks beautiful in the age that has entered half a century.

"Assalamualaikum.happy afternoon aunt." With doubtful feelings Kharisa meng Kharisa slightly bent his body and head, greeted with a thin smile on his lips, seemed reluctant to give

a big smile to Kharisa.

"Just sit down." He said casually, Kharisa also sat opposite Rafael's mother.

"How's Rakha doing?"

"Alhamdulillah, Rakha is healthy." Kharisa's answer is of course a lie, because Rakha is clearly feverish. And again he felt dejavu with this situation.

"OK, just get to the core, because I can't linger here." It turns out that the attitude and style of Rafael's mother's speech is still the same as before, so Kharisa began to believe that if his assumption was right, mami Rafael would never accept it.

"I salute you, can make my son to easily break his engagement. You must have studied with your mother, huh?" Kharisa of course was surprised to hear the words of Rafael's mother, she squinted her eyes.

"What auntie mean?"

"I already know the status of your mother is a second wife. It's been imagined how your mother used to tempt your father to get married."

" My aunt please don't bring my mama, what do you want my aunt to see me?"

"I'm asking you to leave Rafael."
