Tut's... Tuttt... Sidiq's phone rang, in a Call Mayang Video call appeared and featured Abah's house and mother's.
"Assalamu'alaikum"
"Wa'alaikumussalam," Sidiq answered Mayang's greeting. He appeared and smiled at Mayang.
"Hay, May, how are you? You're at Abah's house and mom's?, where's Abah and mom". The video switches to Abah and mom's bed. The two smiled and tried to get up to speak to Elah, but could not bear it. There was a village midwife next to the two who were checking on the health of the mother and Abah. "Change, mother.... What pain? Why did you just tell me, Elah came home?". "No need, the same mother Abah is just sick, later if it has been checked the midwife is healed, I just want to see you, the daughter-in-law and grandchildren". "Wait for Elah, Sidiq and the children of yah Bu".
*****
Not going to the store and not going to school, the children were all brought to see their grandparents in the village. Licensing is conveyed to the principal and teacher that can not follow the lesson as usual.
Ready, leave and then leave, with all the preparations. But the supply must be optimal, the supplies in the refrigerator are brought. All the children have food and snacks each according to taste, "later if there is less to look for again". Mayang and Ridho will help. In Elah's mind.
Two cars are moving towards Abah's house and mother's. At first Abah was sick, after four days later the mother fell sick. Abah and mother are like two sides of money that cannot be separated, always together. Abah loved and loved her as a soul mate.
Unlike most married couples, Abah never uttered abusive words and hurt the feelings of the mother, even the farts of Abah the mother had never heard,
Usually women tend to be stronger to withstand pain than men. BI iyoh, Bu Halimah, Mayang and other neighboring ridho took turns visiting Abah and mother, cooking rice, side dishes, vegetables and cooking water, and cooking water, water for drinking or water for bathing or ablution purposes. Ridho diligently bought chicken porridge for Abah and mother.
Elah, Sidiq, and her twelve children arrived. "Mother, Abah forgive Elah". She kissed both. Tear down. His tears were not stopped anymore. Mayang also cried seeing Elah cry.
"Where's the son-in-law and grandchildren". Abah slightly tendered his back and then held with a few pillows. All approached Abah and mother, kissing and hugging both.
"May, please bring a gift for Elah in the top shelf cupboard". Mayang took a gift that was meant by mother. "this is a gift from mother, the eighteenth wedding gift, congratulations yaah. sorry just a simple gift, may you like". Elah received it with both hands and opened it with great taste. "Thank you Mom, I bothered to make a gift for Elah". After it opened, Elah was happy with the veil of her choice, the color was calm, beautiful, smooth, soft and sweet. the headscarf was tried as a sign of gratitude and pleased with the mother's notice.
"Change and mother rest first well, will take the medicine. Elah covered Abah and mother, and went out to see her husband and children. Breathe in the fresh air of the village that has raised him. "hhhhmmm fresh and healthy,". feels heavy on the chest, Elah sees Abah and the mother who is now lying, and the mother who is now lying down, the oxygen that is breathed in is still clean has not been mixed with the smell of factories and waste everywhere.
"mother slept? sidiq lightly gritted his wife's shoulder. "yes, let rest first, the medicine that was in the love of the Midwife so quickly react, if there is no change we bring Abah and mother well? we're being treated and checked in the hospital". She looked into her husband's eyes deeply.
"yes, I strongly agree," Sidiq agreed to Elah's idea. Sidiq could feel what Elah was feeling. "Thank ya". Sidiq shouldered his head a sign of approval. He is only Abah's only child and mother, who else if not Elah who takes care of both. Although there are concerns from Sidiq both in-laws do not want to come, and still want to live in the hometown.
The children play cheerfully, all comforting Abah and the mother as their beloved grandmother and grandfather, rarely do they make friends with their grandparents in the village, because they have started school, because they have started school, and the distance between them is quite far.
Mayang did not leave Elah and the family, helping and accompanying Elah. "your children are cute El,... Iqbal then made a gemes, he said I was beautiful, but the item.., the little boy was honest up to the heart, hehehe". "yes, Iqbal indeed genetic excess Sidiq times yaah, yes, tend to be indifferent and if you like to talk about platters but really ngena, sorry well". "nothing really beautiful emang, but the item is not carried, hahaha". "it's lucky there's beauty!" Elah smiled.
Elah looked at the state of mother and Abah, his condition seemed to have sucked, his look was pale. Mother who realized the presence of Elah gave a code so that Elah sat next to her, Elah went out and sat between Abah and mother.
"God, sorry mother well, Abah too". mother's voice was slow, so Elah had to bring her ears closer to the mother's mouth. "That's Ma'am who's sorry," the tears the Eagle shed couldn't stand my mother's apology. Abah did not make a sound, only looked at Elah with my eyes.
"Later.. kaaa.. lau mother and Abah left. Elah look at mother and Abah well". "mother.do not say anything first, if the rest of mother and Abah is enough, Elah want to invite mother, do not say anything first, we check at the hospital that the facilities are complete, Elah also has the same permission Sidiq, he strongly agrees with the idea of Elah".
"Mother and Abah, just want to be here, there Mayang, bi Iyoh, and the others there, you do not have to worry about Abah and mother, the mother entrusted grandchildren, teach and educate them, and teach them, with simplicity and self-sufficiency". "iya Ma... ". She could not hold back her tears, no longer stifled. After that Abah and mother did not make a sound.
Silent as the silence of the night, Elah cried, Abah and her mother have not gone forever
