Never imagined even once in the mind of Vira to be in a very awkward situation like now. Eager for his taste he immediately left and was freed from this situation. However, the boy who was currently on top of his lap and hugged himself tightly as if afraid of staying would make him forced to undo his intentions.
Vira looked alternately at the two middle-aged people in front of her who were none other than the grandfather and grandmother of the little boy. After that, he looked down again and looked at the face of the little boy who had now drowned his face above his chest.
" Ummi, don't ever stay in Harsya again huh. Harsya promises to be a good boy and obey everything that ummi says, ".
" Harsya is very happy because now ummi has come home. Tomorrow, Harsya will tell all of Harsya's friends at school that Harsya has an ummi. So, they would not mock Harsya again if Harsya had no ummi, "the last sentence of the little boy named Harsya made Vira's heart sliced. Not only Vira, Harsya's grandfather and grandmother were also surprised by the words of their granddaughter which turned out all this time, Harsya was bullied by her friend's friend for not having a mother.
Without excuse, Vira's tears fell down her cheeks. And unknowingly, he stroked the top of Harsya's head while saying "Yes dear, ummi will not go again, "There is no doubt in Vira's heart when calling herself ummi.
The sudden speech that had just come out of Vira's mouth made the two people who were also in the room fall silent. They didn't expect Vira to answer like that.
Imagery, Grandma Harsya sighed heavily after successfully mastering herself again. He looked at Vira and her grandchildren in turn. Seen once his granddaughter so misses the figure of the mother and Vira also looks so calm in addressing her grandchild.
" Harsya, it's night, son, it's time for you to sleep. Come, grandma take to Harsya's room, "take Citra to try to persuade her granddaughter to let go of Vira. He feels very unwell with Vira because of the attitude of her grandchildren.
Harsya shook her head which was still on Vira's chest "Harsya won't sleep, Grandma, "reject Harsya.
" Why, baby? It's late and it's time for you to sleep, " asked Citra.
Harsya shook her head again and tightened her embrace to Vira.
" Harsya, grandma asked why not answered?, "ask Ibrahim, grandfather Harsya soft but implied firmness there.
Harsa unravels her slight embrace with Vira and turns her face towards her grandmother and grandfather.
" I'm sorry Harsya ya granny. Harsya does not want to sleep for fear that ummi will go again to Harsya if Harsya goes to sleep. Harsya did not want to go again, Harsya did not want to lose the ummi again, "Harsya replied with tears flowing on both cheeks.
Citra and Ibrahim could not say anything more. Their throats felt choked, let alone seeing the tears on their grandchildren's cheeks. During this time, Harsya never whined or cried asking to meet her mother, because Citra always said that her mother would return if Harsya became a good and obedient child. After the age of Harsya can understand what happened, then Citra will tell the truth. However, today's events make Citra do not know what else to do. In addition, Vira's face is very similar to that of her late daughter-in-law, Annisa.
Vira realizes that the two people in front of her are confused by Harsya's answer. It was also impossible for them to ask themselves to stay, as it was very unlikely. What would people say if he stayed at a man's house that was not his mahram and there was no family bond between them, especially when they had just met a few hours ago.
Vira took a deep breath and then took out her slowly "Silent Vira, you can overcome this. Let's say Harsya is Queen. Queen alone is stubborn like her father can you overcome, why Harsya not, " muttered Vira in her heart.
" Harsya, dear, "Harsya looked up at Vira as she called herself.
" Yes, ummi, " replied Harsya who was still hiccupping.
" Harsya dear ummi, right?, Harsya nodded quickly answering Vira's question just now.
" If Harsya loves ummi, Harsya must obey what grandma and grandpa say. Now, Harsya sleeps yes, "persuade Vira.
Harsya shook her head again, now her cries broke again and shouted hysterically "Harsya does not want to sleep, Harsya does not want to. Later, Harsya will stay again if Harsya sleeps, ".
Vira calms Harsya while gently stroking Harsya's back to calm down faster.
" Dear, it's stopped crying her. Ummi so follow sad, "persuade Vira with a tone made sad and successful. Harsya's cry subsided and stopped screaming hysterically. He looked at Vira's face and then kissed Vira's cheek making Vira stunned.
" Im sorry Harsya yes ummi, it makes Ummi sad, " said Harsya felt very guilty.
" Ummi will apologize Harsya if Harsya will obey to sleep in the room, "Vira tries to negotiate with Harsya. This boy agreed, so he could go home soon.
Harsya nodded making Vira smile win. However, her smile faded after hearing Harsya's saying "Harsya wants to sleep but is the same ummi. Ummi hugs Harsya until morning, ".
" Lah, how does the story hug this boy until morning. Huhh, dizzy my head, "vira murmured inwardly with her back already leaning on the sofa.
Citra and Ibrahim also tried to persuade Harsya again but the little boy still refused and increasingly tightened his embrace with Vira.
Vira smiled as an idea appeared in her intelligent brain.
" Harsya, Harsya dear ummi no?, "ask Vira who has returned to sitting upright.
Harsya nodded quickly "Harsya is very dear to the ummi, "his answer.
" If Harsya loves ummi, Harsya would not want to if ummi was angry with her boss ummi at work?, "asked Vira again.
Again Harsya nodded quickly making Vira smile.
" If Harsya doesn't want to be angry at her boss ummi, Harsya sleeps now. Ummi accompanied Harsya to sleep after that ummi came home. Tomorrow, ummi promises to come again to meet with Harsya, "Vira tries to negotiate with Harsya and hopes this time Harsya will agree.
Harsya was silent and thought and looked at Vira "Ummi, no more work. Ummi's at home with Harsya. Let the abi who works for money to ummi and Harsya, "until Vira patted his forehead softly hearing Harsya's answer. Smart is also this brat, inner Vira.
Vira exhales and tries to persuade a boy who turns out to be very smart like Queen, the daughter of his best friend.
" Dear, ummi is a doctor whose job is to help a wounded and sick child. If Ummi doesn't work, then who will help them. Ummi's child is good, so ummi is sure that this ummi child can't bear to see others hurt and no one treats, right?, " asked Vira was was with Harsya's answer.
Harsya thought again and this time long enough to make Vira, Citra and Ibrahim hold their breath for fear of Harsya again refused.
" Harsya is a good ummi child so Harsya permits ummi to work to help those who are sick, "Vira sighs her sigh of relief at Harsya's reply.
" But, ummi, "Vira looked back at Harsya, this time what was the objection of this little boy, the inner Vira.
" But what dear?, "asked Vira softly.
" Ummi promise after work, ummi come home here huh. Then, ummi also had to promise, every day between Harsya to school. Harsya wants to show all of Harsya's friends that Harsya has ummi, "Harsya's pinta.
Vira thought for a moment before confirming Harsya's request. Not difficult indeed, but what will be said people around here if he comes to this house every day. The owner of this house is a widower.
" Ummi, "Vira turned her gaze towards Harsya who was staring at her with a pleading gaze made Vira powerless to refuse.
Vira sighed heavily "Alright, ummi promise dearly, " replied her late Vira.
" Hopefully it won't be a problem later on, "vira murmured inwardly.
" Then let's ummi go to the room. Harsya was already very sleepy, "take Harsya who had yawned many times a sign he was already very sleepy but insisted on staying.
Vira nodded her head and then said goodbye to Citra and Ibrahim who had just silently watched her and Harsya.
****
After accompanying Harsya to clean up and take ablution, Vira leads Harsya to the bed. Vira helps Harsya lie down and covers Harsya to the chest.
" Before you go to sleep, don't forget to pray, baby. Memorize the prayer before going to bed?, "asked Vira.
Harsya nodded her head "Memorized dong ummi, "answer her spirit.
" Smart son of ummi. Let's read the prayer, "praise Vira.
" Bismillahhirrahmannirrohim, Bismika allahuma ahya waamut, aamiin, "After reciting the prayer, Harsya closed his eyes.
Vira kissed Harsya's forehead and looked at Harsya so deeply. He became reminded of the incident at the mosque that was enough to steal the attention of other mosque worshipers.
FLASHBACK.
Vira stared at the little boy who was currently crying while hugging his legs.
" Ummi don't go to Harsya anymore" said the boy, crying.
Vira woke up and blinked her eyes. He looked at the little boy who continued to cry and whine while continuing to hug his two legs.
" I'm not married yet how can I have children? What dream did I have last night came to the cry of this boy, "vira murmured inwardly.
Suddenly a woman and a middle-aged man came closer and pulled the boy into their arms. It made Vira immediately stared around which turned out to have had enough mosque congregations around them.
The boy thrashed from the arms of the two middle-aged men. After being released, the boy hugged Vira's leg again.
" Harsya wanted to be the same ummi, "his screams made the two middle-aged people turn their eyes towards Vira.
Vira frowned when she saw the two middle-aged people and the people around them were shocked as she looked at her face.
" Nisa, " murmured the two middle-aged people earlier.
Deg.
Vira's heart skipped a beat hearing her name called. He thinks, or where they're called.
" I'm sorry, my mom and dad know me?, "asked Vira wondering who the two middle-aged guys are in front of her.
" You're Nisa? Annisa?, "ask the middle-aged mother to make sure.
" I'm sorry my name is Nisa ma'am, but not Annisa but Khairunnisa, "Vira's answer made everyone look on in disbelief at her.
" I'm sorry, what's wrong mom?, " asked Vira curious about everyone's attitude.
" It's okay, son, just your face is very similar to the late mother-in-law's house, " replied the mother earlier.
" Heh, how can you?, "strangled Vira unconsciously.
The mother told her husband to take a cell phone and show her a picture of their family. Vira was very surprised by the fact that his face was really very similar to the face of their late daughter-in-law.
" How can it look like this? As far as I know, I have no twin, "vira said plainly then looked at the two middle-aged people in front of her alternately.
" Ummi, "The screeching of the boy who was still hugging his legs made their attention diverted and looked at the boy who now looked annoyed at being ignored.
" Hmm, huh?, "asked Vira doubtfully.
" Come, let's go home, Ummi, "take the little boy with a shake on Vira's left arm.
" Ehh, "Vira is getting confused not knowing how to behave.
" Daughter, can we talk in our house. We'll explain later, "take the mother.
" Em yes ma'am, " replied Vira received the invitation of the mother because indeed she was very curious about the woman who had a face similar to her.
" What were you and dad up here?, "asked Vira.
" We were on foot because our house was quite close from here" replied the mother.
" Oh then, just get in my car, ma'am, "my mom and dad nodded and they got into the car after saying goodbye to the people who were around them.
After arriving home, the mother and father invited Vira in and sat in the living room. Vira sat with a small boy who had not wanted to escape from Vira.
He started by introducing himself, his wife and grandchildren. Now Vira knows that the mother was named Citra, the father named Ibrahim and the boy in his lap named Harsya.
Mr. Ibrahim again continued his story about his son and his late daughter-in-law then the last one about Harsya.
Vira looked at Harsya with a sad look when she heard that from birth, she had never met her mother because her mother died right after giving birth to her self.
" It's a pity that you love, from birth never feel the affection of a mother, "vira murmured inwardly as she stroked the top of Harsya's head.
FLASHBACK OFF'S.
Vira looked at Harsya who was already sleeping soundly. He kissed Harsya's forehead once more and got up and walked out of Harsya's room with a heart afraid that Harsya would wake up again.
After that, he returned to the living room to meet Mr. Citra and Mr. Ibrahim who were still waiting for him.
" Sir, ma'am, I leave alone, it's late, "vira said politely after sitting on the sofa opposite Citra and Mr. Ibrahim.
" Wait a minute, son. There is something I want to say, "pinta bu Citra.
" What's mom?, "asked Vira.
Ms. Citra took a breath and threw it away slowly, She looked at Vira with a sad look "K son, sorry if mother's request makes you uncomfortable. But, may I ask Vira's son to be Harsya's ummi, ".
Vira digested well the speech of Citra ma'am. Her intelligent brain suddenly suddenly blank heard a request that was very not entered would according to her.
" I'm sorry ma'am, I can't grant mother's request, "reject the subtle Vira after her brain returns to function and properly digest Citra's bu speech.
