Melati At The End of Hope

Dreamtime

Episode 52

In the dark depths of the night that enveloped the universe. Chia's eyes can't even be closed. The thought of immediately having a baby is now more and more in him.

"What happened to me? has not all things been stopped by Him? why am I being so pushy?" inner Chia wondered.

Every now and then Chia's eyes stared at the face of the good man who always made her happy. A tired-looking face look there, Chia stroked him gently as she said "maybe I'm too lucky to have you sister."

Jamal's perfect treatment of Chia is always coveted by every woman, including the author who is making this story. How not? Jamal always treated Chia like a most special queen.

Don't get carried away, let's go back to the story.

Chia's eyes slowly closed and fell asleep with the fingers that gave a soft caress to Jamal's cheeks.

***

Inside a luxurious room with sheets that match the color of the walls that surround the room. Nesa was teasing Jamal with seduction sentences that were so crumpled. Jamal welcomes Nesa with the exact same hugs and caresses he always does to Chia.

Jamal and Nesa did it. The saddest thing was, when Jamal said 'I want to have a child from you Nesa, because Chia can't also give me offspring.

Then Chia approached Jamal and Nesa who were busy making out. Chia invites Jamal to talk but, Jamal does not pay attention to him, he continues to coolly chat with Nesa without caring about Chia's feelings.

Chia was sobbing, that she heard someone calling her name.

"Chia... baby..get up! it's shajar time."

With sadness that still filled her heart space, Chia woke up with tears soaking down her cheeks.

"Astaghfirulla, I was just a dream" Chia said.

Jamal was astonished to see his wife's cheeks wet with tears.

"Darling...What are your dreams?" ask Jamal.

But Chia just kept quiet and kept shedding tears with a stingy breath holding back the pain.

Jamal grabs Chia's hand and holds Chia in his arms. After being quiet enough, Chia told Jamal her nightmare. Jamal advises Chia to stop thinking strange things and trigger nightmares in her sleep.

"Do you think that humans can make children?" ask Jamal.

Chia just shook her head....

"Stop tormenting your own mind and feelings by thinking no-no! Brother loves you with or without offspring." said Jamal.

"I'm sorry, sister, I'm just afraid you're bored with me" Chia said.

"How can you get bored with your sister, just separated 5 minutes aja brother already misses" said Jamal.

Chia tightens her arms at Jamal and Jamal replies while landing a kiss on Chia's head.

"Don't think anymore, yeah!" jamal toilet.

Chiapun nodded his head without making a sound. Chia's voice raucous from crying too much from a dream to waking up. Making Chia just hint at the word 'yes' by nodding or the word 'no' by shaking her head.

Every married couple certainly have common ideals and hopes to build a prosperous household, as well as Jamal and Chia. Although it is undeniable sometimes the test comes to shake the calmness either from the outside or from within themselves.

As the man in charge of Chia's life, Jamal doesn't want to make Chia feel useless or sad about her flaws. Therefore as much as possible Jamal will try to make Chia feel calm and comfortable when with him.

Maintaining good communication is also one of the ways Jamal does to keep his relationship with Chia harmonious.

"Udah ya.. don't cry anymore," said Jamal then invite Chia to perform the prayer.

***

A ray of morning sunlight penetrated every crack in the wall of Chia's house at that time. As usual, they will spend the morning with breakfast together and prepare whatever is needed by Jamal before leaving for work.

"Honey, because two days yesterday Brother had a day off work, maybe today Brother has to be overtime."

"Yes sister, be careful how it works." Chia said.

"If you miss the phone," Jamal said with a smile teasing Chia.

While Chia was feeling a little bored at home, she finally asked Jamal for permission to go refresh her eyes to a park not far from their home.

After getting permission, Chia went to the park. Occasionally there was boisterous laughter and cheerful chattering from the children of park visitors. Chia enjoys what she sees, with a heart that continues to live.

Suddenly a child pulls Chia's hand and guides Chia somewhere.

"Aunty.my ball fell over there," said the boy as he led Chia to the spot he was pointing.

"Dear, what's your name? how to play alone? your parents will be happy...."

"I'm Amel, mama over there auntie?" said the little boy pointing at a woman who was busy staring at the screen of her phone.

Finally Chia approached the woman and greeted her "Sorry mom, her son please note yes.

However, the woman ignored Chia or her child until Chia felt furious.

"Mom!" repeat Chia this time with a rather high and emphasis voice intonation.

"Eh.. Yes, what's wrong?" ask the woman as if she were innocent.

"This is his son, isn't it?" chia asked while showing the little boy who was holding her hand.

"Yes mbak... Why is there the same mbak anyway? the kidnapper, huh? please, please," the woman accused Chia of kidnapping her child.

Out of annoyance Chia silenced the woman's mouth with her hand, then told her to shut up. After the woman is silent, Chia explains what really happened. With embarrassed faces meeting, the woman apologized to Chia and held her child.

"What else is mbak? until his son was let to play by himself?" ask Chia curiously.

"I again read the novel mbak," the woman then showed the novel she read titled 'Mom Allow Me Happy' by author Sutihat Basti Wibowo who is still ongoing.

"Oh, I know this author as well..," said Chia made the woman more curious.

"Ah, who really is Ma'am?" ask the mother of one child.

"Seriously mbak, when I lied! so mbak do not neglect again yes take care of his son, otherwise I will say the same author to not up date again!" chia Ancam.

"Don't dong mbak, I promise dech will not neglect to take care of my son."

After that Chia left with a feeling of relief.
