Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 3

Nisa sat in the silence of her room, the headlights she did not turn on, as well as the quiet atmosphere. Nisa put her face on the study table, only with a small study lamp light. Her tears flowed after that incident. His heart was shocked, as well as feeling unexpected.

Nisa tried to hold back her sobbing so as not to be heard by Umma or Arkana who was napping. But the voice cannot be held. Umma listened even though very slowly.

Umma went into Nisa's room, where the door was slightly open.

"Nis.." said Umma very softly and gently while bringing his footsteps closer little by little towards Nisa

"Ummaaaa." said Nisa as she quickly wiped away her tears that had soaked her cheeks, and tried to stop her crying

"Why son? What was? Ceritalaaah." said Umma while hugging Nisa's shoulder from behind

"Ummaaaaa." said Nisa, followed by another cry, which broke and turned to embrace Umma.

"What's up, baby? You why?" ask Umma with her panicked tone of voice

Nisa recounted the incident just now, about Azam who tried to directly propose to Aba, with a hard-earned and stammered voice.

"Yes Allah." said Umma quietly after hearing the story from Nisa.

"Nisa no longer wants to marry anyone, Umma..

Nisa just wants to gather with Mas Alfath in Allah's Paradise" said Nisa with restrained crying

"Yes dear, Umma understands." replied Umma, while gently stroking the top of Nisa's head

When dusk came, the handsome and fair-skinned little prince had changed clothes after his afternoon bath just now.

Arkana who was so close to the figure of the mother, so spoiled. Nisa, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, was carried by the tiny body of her son.

"Buuu. friends at school told me that they brought toys after his father came home from work. If Arkana can't ma'am like that?" said Arkana plainly

From childhood Nisa always tried to tell the figure of Alfath, the father of Arkana even though it was gone. Nisa hopes Arkana can model her father's good qualities.

"Can you dong, Arka want what baby? Mother who bought yaa.." said Nisa with a gentle smile

"That's what you want, Mom..

You're not going home?" ask Arkana innocently

"Dad's waiting for us, baby.. Father is in a very beautiful place, I am very sure." replied Nisa with a trembling heart while holding back her tears

"Well, where the hell is Mom? Why don't we go there fast, ma'am? it's a beautiful place." said Arkana so plain.

Umma and Aba who heard it just smiled looking at Arkana while the spoiled spindle on her body.

"God's paradise, baby... We must be there, we are waiting for time" Nisa replied patiently explaining

"God's heaven is far away, ma'am?" again Arkana questions innocently

"Arkana must be a son of sholih, so that he can go to God's Heaven and be with his father." said Nisa with haru, kissing Arkana's head

"Arka must be a good person like Dad, Mom, so you can go to that beautiful place?

Arka must be a sholih child, ma'am." said Arkana with enthusiasm.

Nisa just nodded her head, while continuing to endure her hard-earned cries.

"Yes dooong.. Arka should not pray 5 times, must be diligent in reading the Qur'an, filial with Mother and continue to take care of her mother yaa..." aba said as she walked closer to the sofa where Nisa and Arkana were sitting

"Arka will be a superhero for Mom." said Arkana while raising both hands following her favorite superhero style.

"I love you Mother, grandfather, grandmother." said Arkana then held Nisa while gently peeking at her mother's cheek.

Arkana grows up to be a smart child, a lot of questions that he always ask his mother, sometimes making Nisa also difficult to answer small questions Arkana. Not because there was no answer, but the young Arkana made Nisa think that the real answer was too heavy for this tiny figure of Arkana at her age.

Arkana grew up in the story of the late Father, which Nisa always told. It is nothing, but want Arkana still feel closeness to the father, who he has not had time to know. In addition, Nisa also wants Arkana to grow into a loving person just like her father, and does not feel, does not have a father figure.

Nisa always shows the photos of memories in an album with Alfath, to Arkana. Makes Arkana can imagine the warm figure of his father.

It was a Sunday morning, where Nisa and Aba were off in their daily grind. Today Nisa focused on playing with Arkana all day. Aba and Umma exercise in the backyard, as well as Arkana and Nisa who follow, after a few warm-up movements Arkana chose to sit down and enjoy a cup of warm milk made by Nisa, who was also a warm milk, then followed by Nisa who decided to rest first, then sipped mineral water in her drinking bottle.

"Mother... is your home in Surabaya the atmosphere the same as here?" ask Arkana suddenly, who had noticed the atmosphere around

"Dear one, it's so beautiful there too. Because there is also a large backyard, trees are also several plants and a large swimming pool." said Nisa after swallowing her drinking water

"Why was Arka never invited there?" ask Arkana after hearing her mother's answer

"That day... Our return when you were a baby, Mother has never been there again." replied Nisa while staring blankly at a dreamy look.

Aba and Umma who heard it immediately stopped their sports and approached the Mother and Child.

"Why Ma'am? Arka wants to go there.. Vacation there.. Can Arka go to dad's?" arkana said non-stop

Nisa daydreamed her mind, her eyes blank with no direction. Umma immediately hugged Nisa warmly by holding Nisa's shoulder, Aba sat beside her grandson Arkana.

"By dong dear. Father's house is also your home and Mother's." replied Aba gently

"Asiiikkk Arka can go there dooong." replied Arkana innocently, so happy to hear his grandfather's answer.

"Arkana?" aba asked with a sweet smile to her grandson

"Arkana will be very sweet, Cake.. Arkana wants to sleep in Dad's bed, let's take a warm hug.." said Arkana with enthusiasm

Nisa who heard her son's words immediately turned to her son slowly, her tears dripping unstoppably.

There are many reasons why Nisa has not returned to the house. Nisa is still not ready, the shadow of her husband, and their daily togetherness will surely be imagined in her mind. Not yet sincere, but still can not move on from love to her husband.
