KEEP THE FAITH (Believe in God)

Visiting Mother

Dear Mom

If I had one single flower when I thought about you, than I need to walk every day in my garden !

The sun began to rise, after a 3-hour drive to the birthplace of Nia, finally Farhan and Nia arrived. They cleaned the grass that began to grow in the grave, sprinkled fresh flowers, then prayed together.

'Mom, how are you ? I miss mom, a few days ago I met dad, dad looks good, he already has a new family and they are living happily. Mother I feel envious of them, I hate father will you be mad at me ?' Nia closed her eyes raising her hands as if she were praying, then spoke inwardly, unknowingly his tears kept dripping even though he had never met his mother but the bond between a mother and child must still be there.

Farhan embraced his wife's shoulder, patting her slowly hoping to reduce her grief.

Nia was conscious and smiled, she wiped her tears. "Mother I'm married meet my husband Farhan !" Nia looked at her husband.

"Hello mother-in-law, I'm Farhan mother-in-law, I will try to take good care of Nia so you don't have to worry anymore" Farhan said politely as if talking to her mother-in-law.

Nia smiled again "Mother now I don't come alone anymore, I've been living happily now, look at him a good man and also handsome surely mother would be proud to have a daughter-in-law like her, she said, now that I have to sleep peacefully I promise to live happily so I also have to live happily" Nia said her tears began to fall again.

Farhan looked at his wife's face, wiping her tears slowly.

"I'm fine I just cry because I'm happy" said Nia won Farhan.

After the tomb of Nia's parents, they went to the tomb of Nia's grandfather and grandmother as well.

On the campus roof feels very quiet, the air that usually feels cool is now hot. At least that's how Mariam felt, after getting an SMS from Nia who asked for leave today, she became moody all day, there were no friends to talk to. After lunch was over he again busied himself with his book trying to eliminate boredom.

The sound of someone's footsteps rang out, Mariam was anxious and hiding, beside the warehouse she didn't dare to enter the warehouse anymore 'Oh, who the hell ? why is it that when he is alone there must be someone coming !' Mariam grumbled in her heart.

He was surprised to see a handsome man standing in front of him. "Mas Ardan !" he said unconsciously.

Ardan smiled "What are you doing here hiding again ?" said later.

"Hehe yes !" mariam said and stood up.

"Have you had lunch ?" said Ardan, who was worried because he saw Mariam from the morning alone, he knew that Nia was on leave today probably because of the anniversary of her mother's death. (Haha secretly so stalker nih^^)

"Here already" said Mariam while bowing her head however she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable because alone with men.

"Oh good, where are you Nia ?" asked Ardan pretending not to know.

"Oh Mas Ardan looking for Ma'am Nia huh ? he's on leave today" he said there was a bit of disappointment in it.

"I'm looking for you not Nia" said Ardan understood that his words could have hurt this girl.

Mariam was surprised and looked at Ardan .

Ardan smiled "You alone, I also no longer have friends can I not accompany here ?" said Ardan coolly.

Mariam just looked at him in disbelief .

Until the afternoon of the residence of Fajar Kusuma was so calm, all his children had their own busy lives without knowing what their parents thought.

Dawn was silent even though he finished lunch and said nothing.

Desri tried to comfort her husband, he climbed into the bed and hugged her husband who was lying on the bed.

Dawn is silent.

"Darling, do you miss that woman ? You want to see him this time ?" said Destri without looking at the face of Dawn .

"From the time I never saw it, if I do it now isn't it too late ?" say Fajar slowly .

"It's better to be late than not at all, before you regret even more deeply because the past cannot be erased just like that"

Dawn silently heard his wife's words.

Destri moved to a sitting position and leaning on the headboard of the bed, she stroked her husband's hair. "I'm sorry I couldn't ease your grief, I should have reminded you from the beginning to visit him. At that time I was afraid, afraid that you would turn away from me. Although I am jealous to see so many women beside you, but nothing makes me more jealous than your late wife, I know you love her once again sorry !" said Destri sincerely, until several tear circles fell.

Destri felt the pain of seeing the weak side of her husband, with such regretful remarks capable of breaking her heart. "Do you feel sorry about marrying me !"

"I'm so grateful to meet you, you, our family I love you so much, as much as possible I don't want to hurt you, but in the end .." The dawn of crying cannot continue its words.

"You've been a good husband, sorry I as a wife can't know what you want" said Destri.

"You're the best lady of Destri, don't say that" Fajar said, his gaze shifting to his wife "here !" he said the sign asked his wife to lie down by his side.

Destripun lay by her husband's side, and Dawn embraced him as if to provide protection.

"I love you dear" said Fajar while peeking at his wife's forehead. "You've filled everything, baby, now I'm just thinking about how the girl lived her life, making me feel so sick I don't even know that grandpa and his father died, he must hate me so much, he must hate me so much, no wonder his attitude is so. Only I am shameless to keep coming to him. 20 years is not a short time" said Fajar began to tell stories, hoping his pain began to diminish.

"Don't give up, go after him, he's your son before it's too late and you'll be even more sorry. Apologize to her" said Destri to calm her husband.

"I'm scared !" say Dawn without energy.

"She must miss you too mas, show your sincerity I will try to help you as much as I can" said Destri as she looked at her husband's face.

Dawn looked at his wife he saw sadness there "Are you okay?" said ensure.

Destri nodded "I should have done this a long time ago, because my selfishness has all become like this.

"I told you it wasn't your fault, I'm sorry for hurting you again" Fajar closed his eyes

"Let's visit your wife's grave tomorrow, you miss her too, right ? Apologize sincerely and hope Nia also forgives you" said Destri while tightening his embrace.

Dawn hugged his wife and went back to sleep in silence.

Rustic air is indeed the best, fresh air without pollution. Nia invites Farhan to picnic together on a hill where he played first. Nia has prepared the supplies from home.

Farhan was leaning against the big tree they had made for shelter now.

Nia fell asleep and her head was in Farhan's lap. They stared at the various trees and weeds that continued to grow without the people taking care of them. Nia thinks they might be just like God's creatures trying to survive. Nia smiled as she thought about it.

Farhan looked at his wife and smiled.

"It used to be a playground for the village children, but it seems like the time has changed where there are children who will play in a place like this ?" nia said without looking at her husband.

"What did you play first ? You have a lot of friends ?" farhan was curious about his wife's past.

"Yes I have a lot of friends first, after school we will come here playing hide and seek, jump rope or just run around playing police and burglar, you know the game ?" say Nia .

Farhan only smiled, making Nia look at him.

"You city boy wouldn't know, would you ?" said Nia arrogant hehe.

Farhan looked at him and stroked Nia's head covered by the veil "My father died when I was a child, from a small I had to be diligent in studying in order to immediately take on the responsibility of managing the company, mama used to be very busy, so instead of playing with the maid I'd rather be alone playing with my book "he said later.

Nia felt guilty for mocking her husband, knowing that he was living so hard. "I'm sorry I forgot that you didn't even have a happy childhood !" nia said sadly.

"Who are you worried about now ? Even though I only play with books I really enjoy them" Farhan replied enthusiastically.

Nia smiled at him "The book in your room, have you read it all ?" asked Nia curiously.

Farhan smiled and nodded, "Actually there are still many more books but since there is no place in the house for a long time, my mother asked me to give them to others" Farhan said proudly.

Nia was stunned to not believe her husband's words "Wah how smart are you ? you speak English too ?" the question is still curious.

"Of course, your husband is cool, right ?" farhan said he was very proud of himself.

Nia nodded enthusiastically "Yes you are so cool" he said loudly, making Farhan meet with embarrassment.

They spend time there, until the sun begins to sink they finally decide to go home.

Happy is whatever you do with you loved love !! Hehe ^
