Mother Connect

Remembering Childhood

Gunawan's father hoped, if his daughter could understand the current state of the mother.

I know you're hurt right now, son, but mom's like this because she loves you too. Moreover, since you got married, you often feel lonely. Rayhan's presence might make mom find her identity back ~ Inner Gunawan

Gunawan continued to look at his wife, he also realized that this was not the fault of his wife or her daughter.

Ever since Shinta got married, they were just the two at home. Sometimes I feel lonely. Moreover, Shinta is their only child. Although Father and Mother had raised Caca and Kaynara as their children. However, both of them also have a new life with their small family.

Only occasionally they visited the two parents, Gunawan's father again remembered his adopted son named Kaynara.

Since Kaynara's departure, she had never heard from Kaynara. Gunawan's father was a little anxious to think about Kaynara, but he covered her from his wife. Do not want his wife more thought, especially lately the health of his wife is often not good.

Gunawan's father told his wife to eat first. "Mother eat! Don't let mom get sick again, I don't want you to get sick."

Syafa's mother nodded, obeying her husband's words.

Shinta looked at her Mother's photo from the phone, not feeling her tears dripping. He missed his mother's warm figure first. Shinta immediately wiped away her tears when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

He looked back, and it was Syifa. Syifa sat down beside Shinta. She saw the sad face of her mother, without saying anything. Syifa hugged her mother tightly. It was as if I understood how my mother felt.

Shinta sobbed in the child's arms, with Syifa gently stroking her mother's shoulder.

Cry, if it makes you calm.

Syifa who has grown up in adolescence, now increasingly has a mature nature, she understands very well what her mother feels. Moreover, he saw a change in attitude from the grandmother.

Inside Syifa's arms, it made Shinta a little better. They let go of each other's arms, Syifa wiped away her mama's tears. Smiling with a shady face.

"Ma, don't cry anymore. Grandma is also not wrong here, if you are in the grandma position, you will do the same. No mother can see her child being snapped by someone else" Syifa said, explaining to her mother.

"Did mama remember? In the past, Papa scolded even wanting to hit me, mama was so angry with papa. Mama fought papa and you even fought. In fact, the one who scolded me was papa but mama did not accept it, right?"

Shinta nodded her eyes at her child with puffy eyes.

Shinta looked at her Princess. Hugging Syifa tightly, she did not realize that her daughter was now so grown up. Even his thoughts were much more mature than his.

Her daughter understood the situation better than her current self.

"Thank you, my mom is so stupid. You who are much younger than your mother can understand the situation. Why don't you." Shinta told Syifa.

Today they are not like mother and child, but like a friend.

The two let go of each other's arms back when Shinta's phone rang, Shinta saw if the one who called was her father.

Syifa also said goodbye to mama to get out of the room, he did not want to disturb the conversation of the mother and her grandfather.

After Syifa left her room, Shinta raised the call.

*yes, Dad?

Honey, I know that you must be sad because of Mom's attitude but I hope you can understand this situation*.

Sounding like a heavy father's voice, Shinta also re-dropped her tears. He also knew that his father didn't like all of this. Shinta held back her crying so that the father would not hear it all.

Dad, no problem. Tata also understands, especially now that Mom has found a new child. All this time, there was only Tata. However, after Tata got married Mother often felt lonely. And now, I don't feel lonely anymore Dad. There was Rayhan accompanying Mom.

Thank God if you understand, I'm relieved now. Ever since you guys got home, I've been thinking a lot. I'm afraid you're sad and won't accept this situation.

Shinta also laughed, he recalled the time he used to feel jealous when Mother and Father loved the child of the family or neighbors.

Gunawan's father also remembered his daughter again, when Shinta broke down, she refused to eat and locked herself in her room when she found out that her Mom and Dad had given her new clothes to her cousin and had forgotten to buy her clothes.

At that time you were very small, son, and both Dad and mom were so overwhelmed to persuade you.

Shinta smiled remembering all of that. The two of them laugh at each other considering Shinta's childhood.
