I'm ending Our Nestapa
Chapter 28
The sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded. A baby sitter who was sitting with Nina and Nani playing in the living room, rushed to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, Ibu Ranita came.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Wa’alaikum greetings, please enter, Bu.” reply baby sitter gave a smile while welcoming the arrival of her employer. After that, the baby sitter turned to Nina and Nani to call them. Tell them that their grandmother has come.
“Nina, Nani, look who came?”
Nina and Nani looked at each other at the same time. Their innocent faces portrayed his ignorance on the figure that came. They looked at the woman standing in the doorway. Although while playing back, in their minds they actually wondered at the figure of the middle-aged woman. Truly a man who has never been seen so far.
Baby sitter then smiled at the behavior of the two children, although his attitude tended to be ignored at the arrival of the grandmother. Their attitude is understandable, because since Nina and Nani were born, they have never met the grandmother. Their transfer to the apartment yesterday was not accompanied by him himself. It is undeniable that their grandmother was a super busy career woman. In addition, he must also always accompany their mother in the hospital. Now was the time for him to see his two cute grandchildren.
“Nina ... Nani ... let's not do that, she is your grandmother you know,” bright baby sitter who then responded with another look at the heads of the two children.
In the door frame, Ranita's mother waved her hand while giving a smile to her two grandchildren. Then he approached them to get to know him better. Near the grandchildren, he immediately hugged them. At the same time, I miss both of them. Now he realized this was how it felt to have a grandchild. If her husband felt this too.
“Those cute grandkids of grandma. Grandma is very kangen with you guys, son,” squealed to Ms. Ranita while tightening her hug. Smell at both of them a few times.
While in the arms of the grandmother, the two children were still covered with shy faces. Understandably hugged by someone he just met can not be immediately comfortable. There must be a feeling of shame and shame.
For a long time Ranita's mother felt strange also in the attitude of her two grandchildren because there was not the slightest cry of joy. Most children are very happy when they meet their grandmother. But no matter what happened to the attitude of his grandson, he could understand those who had long lived without the presence of a grandmother. Then Ranita's mother let go of the hug. Look at the faces of the two children. They have a beautiful face like their mother.
“Nina, Nani, I'm your grandmother. Forgive grandma for not caring about your life.”
Ranita's mother re-embraced her grandchildren. Crying between his shoulders. In Nina's heart came a feeling of compassion for the woman who claimed to be her grandmother. Nani who can't talk also feels this novelty. Then together the hands of the two stroked the grandmother's back.
“Grandma, don't be sad yes,” said Nina. “Nina and Nani are happy to meet Grandma.”
Hearing Nina's comforting words, made the grandmother's cry subside. Return to release the hug. His shady gaze looked again at their faces one by one while gently stroking the hair of the two.
“Grandma, have you met Mom?” ask Nina. His eyes implied a yearning for his mother who had barely met for a month. Because the two children were deliberately not told Reva that his mother was in an accident.
Ranita's mother then nodded in response to Nina's question. Seeing her grandmother nod at once Nina's face sparkled.
“Where's mom, Grandma. How come you don't come home now?”
“Nina and Nani don't have to worry. Your mother is fine.”
Despite trying to hold back her cries, Nina could still hear her grandmother's grief. Until the child actually does not believe that his mother is fine.
“Mother is fine but why is grandma sad? Are you in the hospital, Grandma?”
Mom Ranita was stunned to hear Nina's questioning question so probing. It was unexpected that Nina had grown into a smart child. In a hurry he wiped away the tears that began to wet his eye sockets. She wanted to know where Nina knew her mother was going to the hospital
Without much guessing, Ibu Ranita turned to the baby sitter. She was convinced that Nina heard the baby sitter talk with her secretary yesterday. His guess was even stronger when the baby sitter was confused as soon as Ms. Ranita looked at him.
Only for a moment did he look at the baby sitter with suspicion because of the whining of Nina who wanted to visit her mother.
“Come, Grandma. Anterin me and Nani to Mother,” whine Nina while shaking the hand of Mother Ranita. Nani nodded several times while supporting her brother's whining.
Feeling that it was impossible for a child as small as them to visit the mother in the hospital, the whimper was immediately subtly rejected by Ms. Ranita.
“Nina and Nani, your mother is not in the hospital. Your mother is looking for a job so she can have money for you to buy snacks.”
But that reason did not immediately make Nina believe. The boy knew his grandmother was lying. However, what power a child as small as himself can not do anything. From the inside of his heart can only pray for the healing of his mother.
“Oya between Nina and Nani have you ever played in the mall?” asked Ranita's mother to try to divert the conversation so that Nina does not constantly whine.
However, that question was only answered with Nina's careless trinket. She knew her grandmother would not grant her request. After all, he and his sister had never understood what a mall was. In life they only know one place that there are many people. That place is terminal. The place where he and his sister were told to beg.
Meanwhile, from the headband, Ibu Ranita felt the need to invite Nina and Nani to take a walk to the mall as entertainment for the grief they had been feeling.
“So you guys want to go to the mall now with Grandma?”
Ranita's mother stretched out both her hands. In front of his two grandchildren, he opened his palms. He wanted his two grandchildren's hands to welcome.
But before welcoming the grandmother's hand, Nina and Nani looked at each other. Both thought long enough. But in the end, they also want to welcome the hands of the grandmother as well as accept her invitation. The faces of the two grinned showing their milk teeth lined up neatly.
