Two hours later, the operating room door opened. The doctor came out with the nurse to see Ranita's mother to report the results of the operation. As the doctor approached, Ranita and Reva rushed over to greet. They were already impatient to listen to the doctor's explanation after Mila was operated on.
“How is my son, Doc?”
“Mother's daughter's condition after normal operation. There was some bleeding but it was lucky it wasn't too severe and we had a suitable blood supply. But ...”
Suddenly the doctor did not continue his words. Seems he was thinking. As a smart person, you will think before speaking. Ranita's mother knows that. The doctor paused for a moment to think of the right sentence so that the patient's family was not too shocked to hear it. However, it was the woman's curiosity that finally urged the doctor to continue his remarks.
“But why, Doc?” asked Ranita's mother while knitting eyebrows.
“Begini, Mom. I apologize in advance if my daughter can't have any more children. In addition, the mother's child is no longer able to fulfill the obligation as a wife.”
The consequences after this operation were already known to Ms. Ranita before. That's why he wasn't so surprised to hear it. Now he is more willing to accept it. This is a risk that his daughter must accept. Maybe it's best for Mila not to be a bad woman anymore.
...*****...
A week later, doctors let Mila go home. This policy makes Ms. Ranita grateful. Finally, after a long hospital stay, her daughter recovered. The look of excitement was reflected in the small laughter of the two as they walked away from the treatment room. When passing through the park, Mila and her mother inhaled a deep breath to just loosen the chest cavity that had been more crowded for a month.
“Alkhamdulillah finally came home too yes, Mom,” muttered Mila looked up at her mother who was pushing a wheelchair.
“Yes thank God, I'm glad you survived the accident, son. That means God still gives you a chance to live better,” said Ms. Ranita while deflecting the direction of the wheelchair.
Mila smiled and sighed as if all the burdens and fears that had been shackled were released. Loosen the veins on the head by leaning his back on the back of a wheelchair.
“I can't wait to meet Nina and Nani, Mom,” Mila said. His gaze circulated on the classrooms he passed by.
“Yes of course they miss you a lot too, Mil.”
While talking, without feeling they arrived at the hospital exit. There the driver Ibu Ranita was waiting. When his employer approached, the young man opened the car door. Quickly, he helped Mila stand up and walked a few steps into the car.
...*****...
It only took them thirty minutes to get to the apartment. This apartment has long been known to Mila. When he was sitting in High School, he once stayed in this apartment.
“Wah ... Apartment Mother is getting cool,” muttered Mila when her mother has delivered to the front door of the apartment. The exterior of her mother's apartment now amazed the woman.
When she got there, Ranita's mother took off her wheelchair to knock on the door. It did not take long, the door was opened by the baby sitter. When the door opened wide, Nina and Nani who as usual were engrossed in playing house.
“Nina, Nani's Mom's home, son,” screeches Mila because she can't stand longing.
...*****...
“Alkhamdulillah Mother has healed,” muttered Nina. His head was buried in the arms of his mother as did his twin brother.
Just this time Mila felt the pleasure of the affection of the child. He felt very guilty if he never allowed his children to just hug him. I remember how cruel she was to her two children. It used to encourage Nina who ran wanted to embrace when she just came home. That time violently pushed Nina down.
When Mila remembered her cruelty, she made her more guilty of what she had done. Because in the past he had not been able to interpret the meaning of what Nina did. Now Mila knew that her two daughters were very worried about her. In retrospect, his actions used to be so evil.
“Im sorry Mom, Son. All this time I was very evil with you guys,” said Mila with tears.
In her arms, Mila feels Nina's head nodding in her apology.
“Bu, Nina same Nani kangen very same Mother,” said Nina who was followed by a nod Nani when her innocent face looked up.
“Mom misses you too, Son,” Mila replied as she tightened her arms. It is undeniable that when the children are babies, he never wants to carry them. To stop Nina who was always crying, she just told the baby sitter that Reva was working on to cradle. Until they were five years old, Mila was never willing to hug her daughter. His assumption that their birth only carries burdens and suffering. But it turns out that all the cruel treatment has been wrong, precisely the two daughters love him very much. And this hug was Mila's first hug hugging her children.
Seeing what Mila and her children did, made Ranita's mother so moved. In her heart, she felt grateful that Mila finally realized that all her actions had been wrong.
“Mother is so glad you've come to your senses, Mil. Hopefully after this you can love your daughter more and want to accept their shortcomings,” message Ms. Ranita who also hugged her daughter and two grandchildren.
After a long time they embraced, dissolved in the instant novelty enveloped the place, Ibu Ranita felt he had to immediately end this novelty. Not good too late in sadness and regret. It would be nice if everyone has sincerely forgiven each other, now filled with new sheets. In the old man's mind, an idea arose. The atmosphere is right, this can be used to hold a simple meal together at the dining table.
“Ya already mumpung everything is better, we better eat together yuk. I haven't had a meal with you for years, Mil. Especially now there are Nina and Nani, definitely more exciting,” said Ms. Ranita while holding her head back.
Hearing the invitation, Mila and her two children let go of hugs. Their eyes were staring at their parents. They smiled and agreed with his grandmother's invitation.
“Asyik,” squealed Nina while prancing near the wheelchair.
Mila smiled as she looked at Nina's behavior and rubbed the child's head.
“Good. Nina and Nani want to eat what now?”
Nina and Nani thought for a moment. They looked completely confused to answer the food they wanted. All this time they didn't know what good food was like. Because from childhood they only sincerely eat food that is loved by mothers and others. Although at that time they often do not like what they eat. Because to prop up a hungry stomach so they just eat the food there.
“Make fried chicken only, Mom,” Mila replied. Because at that time Nina had said that she wanted fried chicken. However, at that time he snapped at Nina so as not to ask for anything because the money was not there. Though at that time just got money from a striped nose man who invited him to sleep.
