Grasping Taste

Mama Rosa's

Word was still pacing back and forth, occasionally he rubbed his face and pulled his hair violently. The man who was hit by millions of regrets felt so bad after knowing everything too late. He never even realized his wife was pregnant. He feels like the most jerky guy right now.

As the process of curettage progressed, the Word seemed to lose all its power to wait. Backed by a body that felt weak on the wall, his eyes closed feeling regret and pain due to ignorance and pseudo-pleasure.

A moment later the door of the room opened. Word was shocked, when the doctor and his team came out of Aruna's room. He rushed to the doctor.

"How, Doc?" ask Sabda with a face that is still tense.

"The patient is still under the influence of drugs" said the doctor.

"May wait inside, until Ibu Aruna siuman." continued the doctor with the name tag Anggraini.

"Thank you, Doc." answered Sabda. His face looks very chaotic with eyes that look so sad.

The word went inside. The man looked at his wife's pale face. Somehow, why every look at the face there is only regret and guilt, so that the man shed tears which then quickly wiped away.

His footsteps approached Aruna who was still under the influence of the anesthetic. Sabda then sat down near his wife. The regret deepened as they remembered losing the baby. Proof of their love.

He really did not expect that his wife was pregnant. In the end, when Aruna served him in the right sleep, Sabda did see physical changes, especially in the stomach of Aruna which slightly bulged and often his wife said the word 'Pelan-pelan'.

She recalled how calmly Aruna faced her madness at her past love. Aruna has always played her part very well as a wife. This made him feel guilty for the woman who was still closing her eyes.

The word is increasingly haunted by guilt. Right now, he could no longer hold back his sobbing as today's barrage of events was the worst thing of his life.

"I'm sorry, Run." The Word grasped tightly the fingers that still felt cold. His regret and guilt could not be described in words.

The first time Sabda cried awkwardly, his feelings were mixed. Every now and then he kissed Aruna's little hand, " Mas is a jerk. You can punish, Mom. But, don't leave, Mas. Don't go, Run!" although everything in his heart he tried to express but did not change everything. His chest still feels tight.

For almost an hour the Word did not move from its seat. Lasting, the little fingers moved, then the round eyes blinked. The word that saw Aruna had already come to a realization became so enthusiastic.

"You up, Run?" tanya Sabda, but not answered by Aruna. Word stood up, so that he could see Aruna's face that was like reluctant to see her.

Aruna looked far ahead, there was no fight or other response from Aruna. The woman, who was silent, was seen shedding tears from both corners of her eyes when she realized she had lost her baby.

The mood became quiet. The Word knows his wife is harder on him, "I'm sorry, Mas!" speak the Word by tightening the grip.

"I've already lost it." said Aruna with eyes that continued to water and endlessly. There is no more spirit of him to survive and continue his life.

"Squek." Mama Rosa opens the room Aruna. For a moment he was silent looking at the child and his daughter-in-law who looked so pitiful.

"Honey." he hugged Aruna who looked so weak. He rubbed the arm of his son-in-law who was now leaning in his arms.

"Aruna lost it, Ma. Aruna could not take care of her." said Aruna then sobbed strongly in Mama Rosa's arms.

"Patience, Honey. I'm sure God arranged everything well." Mama Rosa is still trying to calm down.

The man with the shirt and pants full of blood stains chose to sit for a moment in front of the room. Really, his heart felt pain seeing the circumstances and crying of his wife. He felt like the most jerky husband.

After a few minutes and feeling much better, Sabda came back in. Mama Rosa opened the paper bag she was carrying.

"Sabda, help Aruna eat! " tell Mama Rossa.

"I'm not hungry, Ma." replied Aruna. He has no appetite.

"Don't argue, Mama, Runa. Mama doesn't want to happen anything worse to the princess, Mama." Rosa looked at Aruna. He knew his daughter-in-law had lost a lot of energy.

"Enough Mama lost her future granddaughter." - Rosa, with a sadness she could not cover up anymore, Rosa also felt very lost. For a long time, Rosa wanted grandchildren, hoping to fill her loneliness in old age.

Word immediately obeyed what his mother said, he then approached his wife and sat down next to Aruna.

Sabda knew Aruna was reluctant to look at her, but she could understand if Aruna's attitude was like that. The man had hurt many people he loved.

"Already, Mas." said Aruna when Sabda will feed rice for the fifth time.

Rosa actually saw there was awkwardness between them. I don't know what's going on with his son's family. The beautiful woman who always looks elegant can only guess in her mind by still staring at her cellphone.

"Mama was worried when she saw the news of the collision in front of the Showroom. All the victims in the crash died. Mama immediately called the office and it turned out that Aruna was taken to the clinic. Mama almost had a heart attack, before security explained everything." explained Rosa broke the awkwardness between them.

"One of the cars almost hit Aruna" said Sabda, the man then placed the food on the nightstand.

"Mama wants you to stay at Mama's house for a while, so Mama can take care of Aruna" said Rosa made Aruna again worried. Rosa loved her so much, she could not say something that disappointed her.

But when will he hide this? He still finds it hard to forgive the betrayal of the Word.

"Aruna wants to go home to Mama Hesti, Ma." Aruna's words make Rosa and Sabda look at her. If Mama Rosa looked at him full of wonder and curiosity, in contrast to the Word who looked at him with eyes full of supplication.

She still wishes for Aruna, forgetting her intentions of wanting a divorce and giving her another chance.

"Why go to Mama Hesti? That means you're going long distance?" urged Rosa, her mind began to calm down. He loved Aruna very much. In fact, she believes Aruna is a kind woman figure who makes her son feel lucky.

Aruna was still silent, she felt a dilemma between speaking truthfully or still keeping it. But, I don't know when this honesty should still be kept.

"Why, Runa?" urge Rosa impatiently.

"Aruna wants a divorce with Mas Sabda, Ma." said Aruna who still makes the heart of Sabda feel pain.

Rosa who heard Aruna's sentence, really felt surprised even her body felt limp. How bad are the problems in her son's household? The question made Rosa start to wonder.
