Dusk And Suffering

57. Meeting Someone

The eyes again rest on the knife and cutting board. A few moments of staring at the twilight without blinking made him a little misbehaved and nervous. For the question of Dusk, he actually also does not know, why he cares so much about the child he used to waste, he really does not know. All he knew was that he only wanted to grant his mother's request. But somehow Manda felt different.

"You only have me, don't want me to care, right? This is your grandmother's request anyway."

Dusk is just a mangosteen smile. The answer is enough for Dusk, he will no longer ask the same thing. Let her own mother who will recognize herself as mother, as she calls herself Oma to her two grandchildren. Dusk should know, without being forced or asked anything someday his mother will surely admit to herself.

"This is the soup. I'm sitting there at the dinner table, let me take this!" Manda walked to the dinner table with a bowl of chicken soup and a plate of rice, and he put it on the table.

"This is the first time I've eaten Mom's cooking, I can't wait to try. You don't eat?" tawar Dusk while sneaking the gravy along with its contents.

"No, you are."

Dusk began to insert the first mouthful of chewing it slowly. His expression showed that he was enjoying chewing for the sake of chewing in his mouth. This was the first time he had ever enjoyed a meal from the touch of his mother. It feels so different.

"Such a Mother's cooking. What if Mom sleeps here on me? Anyway this house is big Mom, I'd be lonely if there wasn't a mother here."

"I'm sorry to see your dad every day that I sleep here."

"Mom's still mad, isn't it dad?"

"No, I don't want to think about the past anymore. I go home first, yes want to clean the house with the body. As soon as I'm coming here, there are two sisters who will help you later. Don't forget to call your father to find a housekeeper. In the refrigerator there are groceries later if you want to eat dinner ask your sister for help masakin, yes."

"Yes, ma'am thank you, yes I'm waiting for my mother's arrival again."

Manda just nodded then got up from the dining table. Approaching the baby box that is still in the middle room, bend his body and kiss his two grandchildren alternately.

"Also while you sleep downstairs, same kids. You, will end the operation do not go up and down the stairs first. Later if the child is not okay you sleep on top. Yes I'm home, take care of yourself."

"Yes, Mom."

Dusk was increasingly convinced that his mother had accepted him as a child. Although the language still uses me, me, and me, Dusk does not magnify the problem, the important thing is his attention.

The concerns of Manda for her son continued until the sixth month. The woman had been living together with Dusk since one month ago. Their twenty-four hour togetherness made Dusk come here more and more to realize that his mother was not exhausted, but was experiencing severe pain. The woman who became the mother of two children often caught Manda holding her waist while displaying a face that endured pain. I don't know how many times Dusk asked the same question and only answered with the same answer.

"Mom, the more you get here, the more you have a sore waist, we're going to the hospital to check, yeah, Mom."

"It's okay, it's just regular low back pain. I am no longer young. Oh, yeah I'm going, yeah. As always, get together."

"Yes, be careful."

Dusk was actually suspicious of his mother. Once a week the woman always permits to go out to meet with her friends. What exactly is the woman talking about until every week has to meet.

"Mom!" shout Dusk.

"I was ready for ASI in the freezer I wanted to go out for a while. Later if the milk is ready to run out you call me, yes."

"Good, Mom."

With the online motorcycle taxi he ordered before his mother left, he followed his mother who also boarded an online motorcycle taxi. His eyes remained watchful over the woman sitting curled up in the motorcycle seat.

The infirmary? You met your friend at the hospital?

Dusk still followed his mother's steps. His mother took him to a room on the second floor.

"What room is that? Why did Mom come in? It's like it's not a nursery" murmured Dusk slowly.

Just as she was wondering, one of the sisters flashed in front of her.

"Sus, sorry to ask for a minute. May I know what room it is?" tanya Dusk pointed to the room that her mother had entered.

"Oh, that's the room for the dialysis, ma'am."

Blood wash? I thought, What's sick mom? I have to find out for myself.

"Thank you, yes Sus."

Dusk came back downstairs after learning a new fact. He walked to the receptionist to ask about his mother's data, it must be there thought, Dusk.

The wide twilight steps made him quickly reach the ground floor. The woman walked straight to the reception desk.

Bruk!

Almost at the reception desk, Dusk hit the nurse who was carrying a tray of drugs. Of course, the drugs in the small bottle were scattered everywhere.

"Gosh, I'm sorry, I didn't accidentally. I was in a hurry. Again forgive me, Sus."

"Yes, it's okay."

Dusk resumed his steps that had stopped. However, one more thing he saw made him stop the move again.

Dusk fell silent on the spot, his eyes straight looking forward. With his heart stopped, he could not believe what he was seeing. A person he knew very well was sitting in a wheelchair with an empty look.

Dusk wanted to talk, but his tongue felt stiff and low. Is it really what he saw? Is that the same person he knows? But he did not say hello, was not his farewell at that time parted well? Does he not recognize himself? Various questions hung and circled the head of Dusk. Even until the man passed by her, she was still stunned on the spot.

Maybe Dusk will be there all day if the ringing of his phone does not ring at that time.

"Yes, Mommy? What, done? Very spooky? Yes, I'm home."

The faint twilight of hearing the sound of crying her children were made to rush home. He forgot for a moment his curiosity about his mother.
