Mother Keisha smiled happily at the praise from her son. Hands calmly turn the plate do not forget to spoon the rice and give a side dish, pauk that has been provided. "It's for dad, and it's for Darren. Come on, eat first!"
"You can change your clothes later, son. Oh yeah, I should go to the supermarket for a monthly shopping spree. Forgot, Dad?" Mother Keisha reminded her husband's schedule while putting the last plate which was his own meal ration.
So busy with work affairs that they forget the small request of Keisha who has given a monthly shopping list record two days ago. He is more focused on working on documents that have been piled up, so it is natural to forget something that is not at work every day.
"Astaghfirullah, I'm sorry, Mother. This serious forgetfulness. Gini, it just so happens that tonight is Sunday night. So what if we all go for a walk while shopping monthly. Must be great to enjoy Sunday night together. Agree to not?" asked Lion's father with enthusiasm because his negligence can be a way of family togetherness.
But his father's idea was very bad for Darren. Where the young man remembered their situation was better not to die home for fear of meeting Rafa. That was what Darren thought but for Keisha and Lion it was definitely different again.
The couple only tried to provide comfort to Rafael while expecting understanding from the son to accept Rafandra as a twin brother that they will always miss. The two sides of the mind and heart that were opposite each other made the chatter stop for a moment.
Moreover, Darren knows that both his parents love Rafa more and after what happened just now. He felt anxious, what if his parents met the twin brother out there? It can't be allowed because one meeting can take away his right once more.
As a son, he deserves the same affection, time, and attention from both his parents. So that the sense of not wanting to enjoy the same pain, making the young man think hard will do what. One solution that does not arouse suspicion but makes it back to get comfort.
"Father and Mother at home. So leave the monthly shopping problem to me, isn't your work still piling up? In addition, it must be tiring when shopping must go around looking for goods. Just once, let me take care of the homework.
"Mother also needs rest because for a week taking care of me to forget the feeling of sleeping well. Could you, if I was the one shopping? Counting for sport." Rafa blinked his eyes begging for approval from both of his parents.
There was nothing wrong with Darren's request because it was talking about facts. But the statement of the son, making Lion and Keisha look at each other trying to convince themselves. Then the two simultaneously nodded their heads in agreement with the wishes of their son.
Lunch sessions continued with short chats but the topics were pretty random. Anyone who sees that togetherness must feel the affection and warmth between them as a family.
However, no one knows about the contents of the human heart and mind. Where on the one hand there is the emotion of parents who miss their child but can not do anything because of the agreement in the agreement. The hands of the two men erikat until they have to really lose contact from other sons.
Rafael may have felt alone and thought he never cared. Unfortunately the young man did not even know, if as parents they also always pay intense attention even though they had to go through Yem's mbok. Rafael also would not expect the people nearby who have the task to always supervise with similar responsibilities.
However, today, what they do cannot be the same because Rafandra has tied the promise as a family. In the meantime, what about Rafandra's condition?A child who always seeks the truth in his own way.
As a parent worry but considering Rafa is married and has a wife an adult woman. Honestly, Keisha and Lion felt a little calmer believing that Kimmy could be the perfect match for their son.
Miris right? When the wedding has been held, it becomes the reason for separation for the next few years. At first the heart believed in the unification of the family but after meeting Rafael. Who could have guessed, fate outlined a trial for them.
One question that disturbs the hearts and minds of the couple. Will Rafa's reaction be the same as Rafael's? They are aware of the injustice that has been done so far, so the question continues to eat away at the serenity of heart.
To the extent that over the past month it has become increasingly bigger to make the feeling increasingly unsettled. As parents, both Keisha and Lion distinguished the rights of their two sons. But after accepting the agreement, they know the consequences without being able to change the situation.
The ringing of the mobile phone distracts everyone. More precisely immediately disperse the daydream of Mother Keisha, "Mother pick up the phone first, you can continue eating."
The woman left the seat and walked slightly away from the dining table but did not leave the room. It was deliberately done so that Darren did not suspect. Then hurry to shift the green icon on the screen.
After making sure the call is connected, then bring the phone closer to the earlobe. As usual he said a greeting before continuing the chat until the speech from across made him speechless. There is no word but silence.
For a few moments just hearing an explanation that makes the pounding in the chest increasingly feel rapidly. Impatient feeling barged in warmed the heart that had been lost somewhere. Unconsciously his body trembled trying to resist the anxiety to release the longing that had been buried all along.
"Okay, thank you. Good day, waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." The call at the end from the other side made Mother Keisha contemplate silence for a moment trying to master her emotions.
O Allah, please give the servant the strength to unite the whole family. I hope I can get through the storm that is sure to hit every step of the way. Ease our struggle to reach your ridho.~ said do'a Mother Keisha in the heart solemnly.
