The eyes of the patient-hearted woman continued to be empty and withered. There was no food or drink that he swallowed. Her lips looked very dry and under her eyelids blackened because she did not want to close her eyes. Her tears sometimes drip, stop and then drip again until the pillow she wears is sometimes wet and then dry and wet again.
He silenced everyone who passed by and wanted to encourage him. He knew it was impossible to bring Gifali back to him.
"Sister.." Warm palms stroked her shoulders from behind and a brief peck hit her cheeks. He turned his head to the one who called him.
"Getter..."
Maura shuffled to turn her body around and hugged her younger brother who was sitting at her bedside. He did not care if the infusion hose was drawn far away and it looks like blood will flow to rise to the drip infusion. He hugged his sister and cried. "Please find Gifa, Ammar! Bring her home to Brother! You're the only hope Brother!" Maura said while crying.
Ammar continued to lock onto his body and kissed Maura's hair. Maura is the woman she loves after her mother. Although he knew Maura was not his Big Sister-But he already considered that Maura was his best sister.
"Patience, Brother. Brother just calm down, Ammar must have brought Kak Gifa home for you--"
Maura raised her face, somehow she was so relieved that Ammar wanted to do this, though somehow the result.
"Certainly Ammar?" Maura asked with a face of sumringah but still sobbed.
Ammar nodded faintly. "Yes, I promise! If so now eat it..."
Maura nodded and wiped the tears with her palm. "Ammar's the big brother's bribe?" Maura Pinta.
Ammar smiled, he took a bowl of porridge that was still on the nightstand, stirring and preparing to feed the brother.
From behind the outside door, Mama Alika and Papa Bilmar look happy because their children want to eat and can also be spoken to. They were so wary of seeing Maura for hours kept silent and daydreaming.

"Come on Pah, drink her tea. What do you want to eat? Let Gana make it." Said Gana while putting a glass of sweet tea for the Papa on the table. He sat next to his father.
"Make it, son.." Papa Galih grabbed the tea made by his daughter.
"Father no appetite, Gana! Papa is still waiting for the arrival of Mama and Brother. Your mother's phone can't be reached!"
Because the same, his mind while flying to the clouds because it continues to think about the condition of Mama and Kakannya who have not been detected where, they are what and where.
Cringe Cringe
Gana got up to stand up and stepped towards the phone table.
"Mama? Where's Mama, Mah?" Gana asked when she heard her mother's voice speaking on the phone. Hearing the name of his wife is called to make Galih turn his head and hurry quickly, he immediately pulled the handle of the phone that was still held by Ganaya.
"Honey, where are you?" Ask Papa Galih with anxiety.
"I'm fine, Mas. I just want to tell you the same kids at home. I'm with Brother now!"
"Alhamdulillah O Allah..." Breath of relief just like that was made from the lips of Papa Galih. "Where are Mama and Gifa? Let me go get you there!"
"Alhamdulillah Brother has met-" Ganaya's face turned happy. He got up to run to his sister's room to report the news they had been waiting for.
"Don't Mas, first. Gifali is still in shock. Looks like Gifa and I will stay in Bandung for a few days, until Gifa wants to go home. You know this whole thing is heavy for her---"
Papa Galih nodded with deep regret.
"Please convey your request to Brother, Mah! And I also want to apologize to you, I regret not being able to keep the promise-If only Papa could hold back the emotions, maybe none of this would happen!" Papa Galih looks even more sorry.
"Nasi is already pureed, Mas. It's all happening too. Sorry is also free..." Mama Difa's voice was still disappointed.
And they both were silent.
Papa Galih knows the wife is still sulking. He tried to neutralize the atmosphere.
There's a breath of empty breath from across there. He was waiting for an answer from his silent wife.
"Darling?" Papa Galih re-opened his voice when it was felt his interlocutor did not answer his question.
"Do not worry, Mama and Sister here are fine. Mom put the kids in the house, huh Pah.."
"Mama and Brother where now, then can you find Brother how?" Papa Galih wants to know.
Mama Difa again let out a long sigh, she knew very well how her husband type, a man who will not stop asking questions before getting things he wants to know.
"Mama will explain basically yes Pah, but to tell in detail maybe later when Mama has gone home with Sister.."
"Yes, Mah-"
"Mama and Brother are in Pak Malik's villa and Mama here is ushered by Mas Fajar---"
Deg.
Papa Galih's heart is like being squeezed, all the supporting bones in his body seem to move shifted from the shaft. It feels like a sharp and painful bruise why should the two men help his wife.
"Brist, Malik! Goddamnit! How can?" Mumbled.
Feeling her husband just shut up quickly Mama Difa back up.
"Don't think of anything! Do not be angry, Pah, Mama kayak gini just to bring our child home-Udah first yes Pah, later Mama call Papa again..."
Because it was felt his wife would hang up the phone quickly he returned to voice, but he was still losing quickly.
"Hallo..Mah...Mah---"
Tut's.
Phone connection remains disconnected.
Regret continues to hunt down his heart, until whenever he will never be friends with the two men.

Evening has arrived. Mama Difa was forced to leave her husband and three biological children to remain with Gifa at Om Malik's Villa in Bandung.
"Darling..." Mama Difa's voice was heard when her steps reached the door of the room occupied by Gifali. He pushed the door leaf with his shoulder as both hands were carrying a tray of milk and a plate of rice.
Tugs.
Mama Difa put all that on the nightstand. He sat down on the bed and rubbed the back of the child who was still turning himself in the other direction. Mama Difa knew her son was still reluctant to talk to her since he regained consciousness from fainting a few hours ago. Gifali is still in shock, there is a deep sense of disappointment to Mama and Uncle. Gifali kept his mouth shut as he was still disappointed by the reality he had just received.
Gifa who had already opened her eyes immediately closed her back by force. He still hugged the bolster as a defense to strengthen himself.
"Sister, eat yuk, son. I haven't had dinner yet..."
Gifali remained silent, he was silent as he could. He was still upset, disappointed, but he could not reveal it to his mother. Although he was furious, but Mama Difa was a person who abstained from kasari in terms of voice, attitude or actions. He prefers silence as a sense of rejection. Perhaps if this was in his Papa's position, he would have already cursed the man mercilessly.
But now it's different.
"I'm sorry Brother, Brother has misunderstood Papa all this time!" Gifa shriveled in his mind.
He said he regretted being inappropriate to his father. The man who gave his energy to raise Gifali. Now you feel like your life is surrounded only by troubled people.
Mama Difa kept staring at Gifa who was still holding on to her back.
"Mom knows you must be disappointed with Mama. Khilaf mom, son. Mama was so wrong that she deserved to be punished. Not only must you face your angry attitude, but Mama must also be ready to get scorn, mockery and ambush from your three sisters-"
Mama Difa raised her face up while holding back her tears from falling down. Hearing the words made Gifa open her eyes quickly, but she was still silent on the spot.
"Mama was wrong in the past, lulled in forbidden love. Turn away from your Papa to love Om Malik. The man who used to be Mama's boss at the office as well as being your own partner. The punishment my mother got. Restrained twelve years, only allowed to be home, doing activities that your Papa is allowed, do not have friends or playmates even if only gather at school reunions or gather with friends arisan. For 18 years Mama was just at home, taking care of and caring for her four children. Mama doesn't know what the outside world has been like since 18 years ago-Is it not forgivable now, son? What with sacrifice, consecration marks to you and your Father, not enough, to be able to restore Mama's good name?" Mama Difa's voice was so soft. The woman felt she had no self-esteem anymore.
Gifa's tears dripped. He remained silent and continued to listen to all the confessions of his mother. "I'm sorry Mama, sister. May Brother, Gana, Gelfa and Gemma. Never misstep like Mama or Papa.." Mama Difa said as she wiped her tears that had started to come down from the corner of her eyes.
"Eat yes dear...Mama still wants to bring Gifa home. Kasian Maura, son! Maura's sick-Maura's in severe shock. He wants you back...."
Gifa widened her eyes and she turned directly towards Mama Difa who was still staring at her.
"Maura's sick, Mah?"
