JIWO PROMISE

The Wound Healer

Jiwo again stared at the phone held. Again hope his message to Witri ternotified has been read. But until this last second, his message was still scattered by ashes.

"Why are you, Wit?" muttered Jiwo restless. It's midnight in Aceh. And it is impossible to feel that from the morning Witri did not hold his phone.

Jiwo tried to call Witri. He's right at the hour Witri's resting. But twice his call was not raised. What makes him regret is why he did not continue to try to call Mamak. It should be that if Witri's number can not be contacted, he can call mamak for nanya.

"Stupid me...!" muttered Jiwo while patting his forehead loudly regretting his slowness in thinking.

And midnight gini is definitely not polite if you have to call Mamak to ask Witri news because Jiwo believes Mamak must have given it if something happens to them. It was Mamak's promise to him when he came to Aceh first.

And this is how it ended up in an apartment in a corner of Gumi city. An adult man who was devastated through his night alone and did not know a big thing was happening to the person he was thinking about until the end of the morning.

Gumi is a small town in North Gyeongsang province. Although the city is called small but in this region there is a center of South Korean industry, namely Gumi Industrial Complex. The city is located on the Nakdong River.

I don't know how long Jiwo slept. To be sure his eyes are very heavy when he has to open because he heard the sound of dawn from his cellphone.

With her eyes still feeling very spicy and her head slightly dizzy, she went to the bathroom for a mini bath. Importantly all bodies are wet and well-habited. He performed his morning prayers alone with his mind running back to a place in the homeland as his hands looked up to say the prayer after his prayer. Pray that all the people he loves in his homeland are always in good condition.

Jiwo must spread his heart again at least two hours to try to contact Witri or Mamak.

The time difference of two hours early in place makes Jiwo think Mamak and Witri are still asleep in their early hours.

What happened was not what Jiwo had expected.

Mamak was sitting talking with Nadi in the front seat of the Witri room. The new grandma hasn't felt sleepy since last night. Especially when he saw the handsome face of his grandson. All the fatigue felt so floating.

Nadi Pun. The man has been very flower-blooming since he held Aksa for the first time and tried his best friend's baby.

Although with a slightly quivering voice because he held back the cry of haru, he managed to hear the sound of the Adhan and his best iqomah for Aksa, he intended to represent the baby's father who must first return to Rahmatullah.

Before long he held Aksa, but until this moment next to his arm it felt taped to the baby.

The smell of telon oil still sticks perfectly to the shirt even in the nose. Makes him infested with a kind of taste.

It was a beautiful feeling that he was feeling right now. It was like.people are in love.

Yep. Is it okay to fall in love with a baby?

"Don't Witri come home later, Mommy? Not treated for two or three days here?" tanya Nadi after sipping a glass of coffee that had been ordered at the front shop of the clinic. My mommy enjoys hot tea.

"Yes. This is good if you can get normal. It healed as soon as the baby came out" Mamak said with a chuckle.

"Directly..cured?!" tanya Nadi couldn't believe it.

"Yes if compared to people who gave birth to Caesar clearly tastier than normal. If the normal body is like Witri, the wound is only a little. Just in the birth canal. The pain is only a little and only a few days. That's also he can act. The term can immediately take care of the baby himself because his body is healthy. The pain is only a little bit of the body. The pain was only felt when used for pee. "clearly Mamak relaxed. Nadi was actually amazed to hear that explanation.

If you say he does not know what about the problem of pregnancy and childbirth, it is true.

During this time, before being entrusted to keep Witri by Hari, she always avoids talking about everything that smells of pregnant and giving birth. He could not hear it because his mind would be reminded of his wife and future children who had died.

He didn't want to care about it to maintain his own sanity.

But the way God shows the wisdom of every calamity is sometimes unexpected.

He clearly did not know in advance that the wife that Hari entrusted to him could heal the trauma and inner wounds that he had been enduring all this time.

Almost always participate in participating in the pregnancy of Witri, even now until allowed to be the first person to listen to the voice of the Adhan and Iqamah for Aksa, it turned out to be able to treat his inner wounds that had been torn by reality because of the ingestion of his wife and prospective children on the same day due to an accident.

Just enjoying the pleasure of being 'troubled' by the pampering due to his wife's pregnancy, also being tossed up the idea of having a cute and adorable child, suddenly both of them were taken from his life without cues.

Trying all the way to not blame fate and try to stay sane in order to always be able to pray both treasures, making Nadi then a person who tends to be more quiet and cold than before.

He avoids all conversations about the happiness of a family, especially when talking about the pregnancy of a wife or talking about a baby. Nadi will choose to leave the conversation so that his heart does not languish and miss what he knows will not be able to meet.

Nadi glanced at his watch. Half-four in the morning and she did not feel sleepy at all.

"No drowsiness, Mom." replied Nadi."If you sleepy can get in, sleep inside." tawar Nadi because she had heard the nurse tell Mamak that there is an empty couch next to the Witri cot that can temporarily be used Mamak if you want to sleep for a moment.

"Mamak is also not sleepy at all" said Mamak with a small laugh. It was clearly a happy hue on Mamak's face.

"Aksa can be carried again no matter what, Mak?" tanya Nadi prank.

"So long? Surely it is not possible if the child is sleeping." replied Mamak.

"Hmmm.." said Nadi disappointed.

"Take the car again?" ask Mamak astonishment. She thought Nadi was afraid of holding a red baby.

"It seems that the new fat once will continue to make the child addicted. What about tomorrow-tomorrow?" gumam Nadi. My mom just smiled.

In her heart repeatedly expressed her gratitude to her daughter-in-law's friend.

Somehow bother him if there is no Nadi who accompanies him to accompany the Witri pregnancy even to the process of giving birth away from family and hometown.

A few months to know and increasingly know the personality of Nadi, Mamak easily loved the man who had been orphaned and a piece of it. They seem to have turned into a family that complements each other. Nadi became the figure of a boy who became a protector in the family.

"Thank you yes." said Mamak suddenly grabbed Nadi's palm and then summarized it gently. Mamak's eyes were already glazed staring at him.

"Mom..."

"Thank you for wanting to carry out Hari's mandate to guard Witri, and even take care of Aksa and Mamak" Mamak said in a choked voice.

"Mamak pray for you really, may God return to send a soul mate for you so that you have a happy family, not alone continue like this" said Mamak with the look of a mother.

"Aamiin, Mom... Thanks prayer. Hopefully Mamak can I love the sholeh ghost. Do you want me to propose?" ask Nadi while smiling haru.

"of course! You should ask your mother to propose. Who else would your mother be if not this old woman?" mamak asked while gently hitting Nadi's arm and smiling.

"When?" ask Mamak later.

"What?" tanya Nadi was confused.

"Applying.." said Mamak quickly.

"Huh?" tanya Nadi was confused then a moment later chuckled in shame.

"Yes tomorrow if there's a candidate, Mom. Now just not yet." said Nadi while grimacing embarrassed.

"Kirain is leaving." said Mamak while laughing. The two continued to chat outside Witri's room which they thought was sleeping. Though Witri had awoken from his sleep and was cool with his cellphone. She knew Aksa had been taken to the nursery and would be taken to her again when the baby woke up.

Once holding the phone, the first thing he did was to look at the photos Aksa had taken with Nadi's phone and had been sent all to his phone.

What amazed him from earlier was that he felt Aksa's photo was similar to him but there was also something that looked similar to Hari.

"Can you?" witri murmured repeatedly with a degree of astonishment that did not subside.

After making a collage of two photos of Aksa where one feels similar to him and one looks like Hari, he sent the picture to the father-in-law and to Tati's mother-in-law and a video when Aksa finished his success nen to him for the first time that was immortalized by Mamak.

The next step is to reply to messages and missed calls Jiwo since yesterday by sending a photo Aksa and writing 'sorry, yesterday was busy turning into a real mother.'

The message has not been read because the owner of the phone fell asleep on the alphabet.
