Caring for Raisa?

Syifa was still thinking about Raisa. Shinta who saw her son pensively without touching a single bit of food immediately approached Syifa. Take a bite of food and feed his child. Syifa was shocked to look at her mother.

"Mama,"

"Like someone else wants to be spoiled this. Yaudah, open her mouth aaaaakh,"

Syifa immediately approached her mouth towards the spoon, accepting the bribe given by her Mama. Shinta rebuked Syifa, so as not to daydream often. It will not be good, because the daydreaming can get the evil eye.

"Ma, Syifa."

"Out of your food first yes, after that just say what you want to say right." Shinta feeds her child attentively, Syifa also takes the bribe voraciously until the food is gone. Shinta took a glass of water and gave it to her son.

"Ma, thanks. Mama's really caring, even though Syifa's now great affection and attention mama's never changed."

"Darling, whatever adult you are. You are still my little angel mother. Even if you become a mother later, you are still her little angel mother. You, and your sisters will always be her little baby mama." Syifa smiled at Haru, sipping a glass of water given by Shinta.

"So, what do you want to say, baby?"

"Ma, Syifa wants to talk about Syifa's friend Raisa."

"Why are you with Raisa?"

"Ma, Syifa did not have the heart to see Raisa. Can't we take her home?"

Shinta thought for a moment, digesting her son's speech. Shinta stroked the child's hair. He knew that his son had a very good heart.

"Darling, my mother understood what Syifa meant. But, we can't break the rules in the dorm either, son. Raisa the orphanage adopted by the school, she will not be free anywhere like other children. Not just him, the whole dorm has rules to follow."

"Syifa understood ma, Syifa meant. Can't mom and dad adopt her? Mama and Papa are very nice people, you'll want to help others."

"Son, my mom loves Raisa too. My mom is very sorry for her life too. But, honey. You know for yourself, just take care of your brothers and sisters mama lost. Mama is afraid dear, the children of the orphanage are special children who are entrusted by God. Mama's afraid, if you can't take care and take good care of God's care."

"Yes, the twins also often make Mama tired because of their attitude" said Syifa again, he fell silent.

Is it possible that I asked Mama Caca and Daddy Arvan alone to raise Raisa to be a child? But, would Daddy Arvan agree? They already have children, I'm afraid if they disagree. I believed in Shinta's mother, but saw the mother I had lost looking after us. I feel sorry for Mama Shinta ~Syifa

Shinta held her child's shoulder, Syifa gasped in shock.

"Darling, what's wrong?"

"That's okay ma,"

"Don't lie to my mom. Let's just tell me!"

"Syifa thought of asking Mama Caca and Daddy Arvan to take care of Raisa. At the very least, Syifa felt calm ma. Does mama know? The hostel mother was fierce, and her friend named Lala. His nature is very bad to Raisa ma, earlier Raisa cried because of the actions of her friend."

"Is that really so?"

"Really, Mama. Hence, Syifa felt very worried about her. Syifa was afraid, if Lala hurt her again in the dorm. Raisa's a very sweet child ma, she loves her friends so much. Even though his friend treated him very badly, he still loved and received bad treatment from his friend."

"Already, Honey. Don't worry too much about Raisa's problem. Mama's sure, no one's gonna hurt her and hit Lala. Syifa's sister herself said that if Lala was Raisa's friend, friends wouldn't hurt her friend right? That little trouble or fuss is a very common thing in friendships, honey. However, a friend won't hurt his friend." Shinta calmed her one child, Syifa nodded and agreed to the mother's words. Shinta told her son to head to the room to take a nap. Syifa also obeyed his mother, moving from the seat to the room.

Shinta thought about her son's words, instead she had no sympathy for Raisa. However, it is impossible for her to take care of the child again, she is afraid that her later self will abandon Raisa. It was a crime that Shinta would not commit. Shinta immediately took her cell phone, contacted someone on the phone. None other than Caca, Shinta also wants to explain everything to Caca, what their child wants.

Syifa is the favorite of this family, however Caca is also the mother who gave birth to her. Whatever happens or is experienced by Syifa, Shinta will talk about it to Caca.

*What's up, Ta? Is there something going on? ~ Caca

No, I just want to talk about Syifa ~ Shinta

Syifa? W-what's up with her? Did he have any more problems at school? Or is he hurt? ~ Caca

No, our son wasn't hurt at all, and there's nothing to bother him anymore at school. But ~ Shinta

"What's wrong? The word is the real thing. Please, don't worry me."

At lunch, Syifa daydreamed. I asked him what happened, he said hmm no! It's more appropriate to ask me to take Raisa from the dorm and take care of her. Not that I don't want or don't love Raisa, I also really don't have the heart with her life. But you know, don't you? The kids made me lose so much. Especially the twins Alan, and Alana. They always fight, even the slightest problem they argue. I'm afraid, it's not keeping trust from God. I ignored Raisa. ~Shinta

Already, I understand what you mean. Besides, your son is already a lot there's no way you can take care of Raisa back. I'm sure, the matter of need you can definitely give your best. But, you can't possibly give it your full attention. I totally understand, let alone you having to look after baby Al. Also the twins, not to mention Syifa. That's not an easy thing ~ Caca

Yes, I'm afraid if it's later. Raisa will be ignored, it's an act of crime isn't it? And Syifa said. Ji-if she wants to ask you and Arvan to adopt Raisa. At least, Syifa feels safe if Raisa is with us. ~Shinta

B**what do you think ~ Shinta

Well, I hope you can make the best decision, and if not. Don't force it, I don't want you to fight with your husband just because Syifa ~Shinta requests

No, you also know what Arvan's attitude is to me right now, don't you? He won't be rude to me, be nice. I have to see the baby Khanza first. We'll talk again, okay? I hung up on her phone ~ Caca

Okay, take good care of yourself, okay? Bye~ Shinta's

Bye ~ Caca*

**********

Caca looked forward with a blank look, himself reminded again of the Princess he had thrown away.

"Do I have to take care of her as a ransom for my sins in the past? Mama wishes son, wherever you are. You're in God's favor and you're fine."

"Darling, who do you mean?" Caca was so shocked to hear the voice of Arvan who was suddenly behind him, his taste was like being struck by lightning during the day. Will her secret be revealed now?

A-p-do I have to say everything to Arvan now? He should know, but. What if he won't forgive me? ~in Caca

Caca was still silent, unmoved back to her husband, Arvan called Caca again. Bravely, Caca turned to look at Arvan. Arvan approached Caca with his serious face. Caca was getting scared, he clasped his trembling hands, his breathing felt tight. Arvan holds Caca's shoulder, then smiles

"You're praying for baby Khanza, aren't you?" now, Caca breathed in relief, trying to smile to cover up her fear.

"Well, I pray to God. Wherever Khanza is, he will always be in God's protection."

"As long as there's us, he'll be fine. Moreover, baby Khanza has an angel-hearted mother."

Nah! I'm not as good as you think, baby. You misunderstand me, I'm the worst mother in the world. Because, I have the heart to throw away my own biological child, our son ~gumam Caca in the heart.

"His fairy mother would not let such a cute Khanza have any trouble." Caca smiled back at her husband. In fact, he didn't know he had to say anything

"Why did you come home sooner?"

"So I was at Syifa school to prepare all the needs of the boarding children. And, in the office has also been handled by my confidant. So, I can go home faster spending time with my wife and son." Arvan hugs Caca, smelling Caca's scent.

"Darling, I want to tell you something. Can you?"

"Tell me, whatever it is." Arvan still enjoys the scent of his wife's body.

"So, Shinta called. And he's talking about Syifa." Arvan opened his eyes, releasing their embrace.

"Why? Did something happen to her? I warned the principal. Why doesn't he understand,"

"No, Honey. It's not about Syifa, he meant. It's related to Syifa, but she's okay. Neither the school nor her friends dare to disturb her anymore."

"Then?"

"It's about Raisa, her friend Syifa." hearing Raisa's name, Arvan seemed excited to hear her.

"Why him?" Caca explained everything Shinta said on the phone. Arvan was silent, he thought of something.

"What do you think?"

"Why does Syifa want us to take care of her friend? I mean, we've given Syifa the same protection we gave. Then, why can Syifa think of things that are far from her age? It's such an adult thought, I didn't expect it. My son has such an adult nature." Arvan was so amazed by the nature possessed by Syifa. Although she was a child, Syifa was very mature and thoughtful.

"So, Shinta said. Syifa did not calm down to let Raisa be in the dorm because the hostel mother was very fierce, it was so. Raisa has a friend named Lala. Lala was so naughty, even though Raisa loved herself, Lala seemed to hurt Raisa and made Raisa cry earlier in the park. Syifa was afraid that her friend would hurt Raisa in the dormitory. If Raisa were with us. Syifa will feel the safety of her friend is assured. And, Raisa can feel the affection of the family and the parents are intact. Syifa wanted, Raisa felt the happiness she had."

"I understand, Honey. Syifa is the best. I'm so proud to have a son like Syifa."

"What about your opinion on this matter?"

"I'll think about this later, just calm down. Raisa will be safe in the dormitory, I have also warned and asked the school to treat the orphanage children well, especially Raisa. I'm sure both the school and the dorm will take good care of Raisa. No one would dare to hurt Syifa and her friend. If, it happens. I will not forgive them, for I have warned them before. And about adopting children. It is not just taking her, but we also have to take care of her, give her love, affection, and attention so great. We must also be fair, without discriminating where the biological child and where to raise. Our affection, our attention, the love we give to children should be fair without anyone getting hurt from each other. It's not an easy thing, the responsibility is so huge. I spend a lot of time outside working. You'll face them, will you be able to?" arvan asked Caca

"I'm willing, let alone having to pay for my sins in the past."

"sin? What sins?" asked Arvan who raised his eyebrows, he was curious. Caca was shocked, and realized that he had slipped himself.

"No, the sin I'm talking about is. We lost our baby once, I miscarried. If I don't miscarry, surely our son isn't just Syifa and Khanza. So, I want to take care of Raisa to atone for my sins in the past." Arvan nodded in agreement with his wife.

"Well, if that's what you want. I'll take care of those files as soon as I can."
