LOVE OF JUITA

See you around

"The wound is good, inside there is no adhesions and sutures nor is there an infection, ma'am." Said the soft-faced doctor checking Julia's former surgery.

A nurse deftly cleans Julia's wound and closes it with a new plaster.

"It's been replaced with water-repellent plaster. I can shower but not as much as before. Because after all this plaster is man-made. Can also seep water. The point is keep the wound dry until control time is another week." Obviously doctor.

"The antibiotics are spent yes, and these painkillers are taken as directed." Order the doctor again.

"Okay, Doctor, thank you. So I can go home today?" Ask Julia.

"Already Mom. Hope you get well soon, see you in control time." The friendly smiling doctor transmitted happiness to his patients.

Julia breathed a sigh of relief, she was happy to be home that afternoon as well. Mom and Lucy help pack clothes and luggage. After saying goodbye to the nurses, Lucy helps Julia down into the hospital lobby in a wheelchair. Septian was waiting in the car to pick them up.

On the way Julia more silent enjoy the pain that still persists in the scar. Only Mom and Lucy were engrossed in chatting about the atmosphere of the village. Septian occasionally chimed in on the conversation, explaining new things to Mom and Lucy.

The car they were riding in arrived in front of the yard. Mr. Mbok, Mr. and the Septian brothers and sisters are waiting on the porch to welcome Julia home. Some of the mothers who had just returned home from studies crossed the Septian house, with their curious faces seeing Julia stumbling along with Septian entering the house.

"So what's the story of his wife Septian, how can I be hospitalized?" The whisper of the middle-aged mother was blue hooded with a large mole on her chin, her face implying great curiosity.

"It was said that the miscarriage kept her uterus removed because of the infection." A mother with a thick lipped oily red lipstick throws conjecture.

"That danger, you can't have children." The other mothers looked at each other.

"So now his wife Septian is barren?" Mother asked in a blue hood, her eyes and mouth opening wide as if in disbelief.

"Eman-eman yes, beautiful but can not love offspring." Sambar a black hooded mother makes a conclusion.

"Ho oh, what a pity. Septian nggganteng, his wife is beautiful but has no successor." Replied the red lipstick mother stroking the chest.

"Maybe find that wife who's obviously. Find a wife far away even have no future." Sahut Bu Lurah who had been quietly enjoying the conversation.

"Yes, even though the girl in our village is lacking, Mom? Many beautiful, many smart. Septian is too demanding. Less work nyari wife nyebrang island. Uh even got that zonk hihihi …. " The blue hooded mother giggled shut her mouth with a veil.

"If I were to become Ms. Rahayu, I would have sent such a woman back. Let my son marry me again, find a woman who can love offspring." The red lipstick mother glared at explaining her opinion.

"But Rahayu is different, she is a very nice person. Same with all his daughters-in-law, baby. I don't think I should be splitting Septian with his wife, no matter what." The black-hooded mother expressed her heart.

"Sometimes good is just as dumb as thin." Bu Lurah clucked his head.

"Waduh This Mother .. But Bu Rahayu and her family are indeed good people. Almost all villagers here admit it. We should pray that Ms. Rahayu's family can pass this test." The black hooded mother looked into the eyes of the other mothers asking for support to straighten out Ms. Lurah's opinion.

"You, I know more about life than you. So people don't be so naive. It's almost Maghrib, I go home first!" Bu Lurah threw an annoyed look at his refuted opinion. He left the group in a hurry to his home.

The black-hooded mother bit her regretful lips for having mispronounced. Now he is afraid to be considered looking for things with Bu Lurah. While the group of mothers of study is still fileak-kusuk discussing Julia.

"Thank you to my Father, Mother and Septian for helping my son. If it were not for the swift actions of Father and Mother, maybe I did not meet my son again" said Julia Lirih mother.

"We should have done that. No need to thank. We are now a family. I want to apologize for not being able to welcome Mom and Lucy as I should. It's been a long way here and it's not served well." The Mbok patted his besieged hands.

"What's wrong, Mbok, we understand how things are going." Lucy smiled kindly.

"After seeing that my son was recovering, my heart was relieved. So I can go home quietly to Pekanbaru." Added Mother.

"Lho are you going home?" Septian wonder.

"Yes son, I plan to stay here until tomorrow. The day after tomorrow we have to go home, Lucy's love is too long off. He had to work, afraid that if the performance was not good he was dismissed. Know for yourself now that finding work is hard." Obviously Mom patted Lucy's shoulder.

"Julia still misses Mom." Julia could not hide her sadness.

"It's important we've met son. You heal yourself first. There will be a time and an age when we can meet again." Mom stroked Julia's head gently.

"If that were the case, our mother's will could not hold back. God willing, Julia will be taken care of here." Sahut Si Mbok nodded.

Mother smiled in relief, seeing the warmth and harmony of the Septian extended family she was sure Julia would be preserved. There's nothing to worry about anymore.

***

The sun just appeared shy. But the Septian house was already filled with activity. Septian heats the car, and inserts the suitcases one by one. Septian equip Mom and Lucy with many souvenirs typical of Yogyakarta. Until I feel sad.

"It's too much Tian. Too many." Mum muttered last night while holding her head staring at the four piles of souvenirs.

Mom and Lucy are leaving on a morning flight. Mom hugs and caresses Julia who refuses to talk to her. Julia wishes her mother could stay about a week. But he realized he should not be selfish because Lucy currently needs Mom more.

"Yes, son, your mother and sister went home first. Don't pout, you'll lose your beauty." Persuade Mother.

Julia did not answer, she just nodded her head. The tears that melted on her cheeks as a spokesperson for her heart did not want Mom to go home. Julia kissed her mother's hand for a long time.

"Don't crybaby you deck. You're always tough and strong. We'll see you later when you're healthy." Lucy tears Julia with a tissue. Observing the sad face of Julia, hugged the body of her only sister.

"I hate you for saying that, but I'm definitely missing out on the arbitrary treatment of my sister." Julia returned Lucy's embrace tighter.

"Hehehe, don't let you. Take good care of yourself. We go home first. Rest here." Lucy releases a hug and pats Julia gently.

Julia nodded and chose to sit on the corner of the terrace with Si Mbok. Lucy and Mom greet and say goodbye to Septian parents. Septian who was sitting behind the wheel of the car gave a code to Lucy to immediately rush up so as not to late check in at the airport.

Mom sat next to Septian and Lucy in the passenger seat. Septian opened the windshield wide before the car left. Mom and Lucy waved their hands.

Julia returned their longing with tears flowing down.

"Mother, sister .. See you later."
