"Yes, I also know our son is normal. Who said he was disabled? But let's look at the characteristics, Dhira. Zavier tends to autistic symptoms and hopefully he's just speech delay (slow talking). You know, does he play on his cell phone just work? And at that time, he was so focused on his phone that we ignored him while talking. Or it could be when you are pregnant, you do not eat nutritious and do not take vitamins. So it's not our son's fault! Zavier is still in his golden age, he can still recover. We'll take him to therapy later when he gets back. Baby, our son is different. He's special, and we need to be extra patient to face him. You don't want Zavier to continue like that? You don't want us to be late handling it? Honey, we all love Zavier so much. We want the best for our kids!"


'Hiks .. 'hiks ...


I could only cry in Mas Rayyan's arms, this was already suratan and this was my destiny. Tonight was longer than the night before. I couldn't even fall asleep thinking about my son.


A bright morning started our day, I saw no one talking about Zavier anymore. Everyone loved her so much, I was really comfortable in my house. Ah, naw. This isn't my house now, this is my mother's father's house. Mom's condition has also started to improve, I'm very happy to hear that.

Two Weeks later


We have to go home now, Mas Rayyan has started to be called by his superiors. It was a sad decision for me. After getting married to meet my family alone I was very difficult, my time was also limited. I call today the day of my family's cry.


"Mom, sir .. Take good care of yourself, be healthy always and be happy!"


"You don't have to think of me or Mom, just think of yourself, son. You and your family should be happy." Mom said, like a slap for me.


After saying goodbye, we left immediately. We deliberately ordered a taxi to take us to the airport, we did not want to trouble the family. People say, a daughter after marriage she will be a guest in her house. Even if it looks ridiculous, it's true. I've felt all that now.


After forty minutes, we reached the camp. Mas Rayyan also ordered a taxi to take us home. Our innards are so many, I am only able to hold Zavier who is getting bigger and bigger.


"Waalaikumsalam," said everyone.


I was stunned when I saw the house was so crowded right now. My brother-in-law is also present at this time. My mind says if they are expecting something right now.


"Have you taken a shower, did we open the card? said Mama Rima, I guess they reminded the cardboard.


"Yes, Ma."


They looked very enthusiastic, not only was the food I brought but there were also some souvernirs there. Everyone chooses their own share. I was happy to see them laughing so, when only a gift that was not so expensive in my opinion.


We took a shower, Zavier was taking a nap in the room. After the shower I saw everyone was very happy with the souvenirs I brought. Huh, it's a good thing that I've set aside some souvenirs for Hanum, my next-door neighbor.


"How's your mother?" mama Rima asked, I furrowed my eyebrows, tumben once Mama asked.


"Thank God, it's getting better." In short, I don't want to answer wrongly.


"Oh, thank goodness."


Neither me nor Mas Rayyan would talk in advance about Zavier's true condition. We purposely gave them space to have fun first.
