Nastity
Chapters 144. Not What It Says But How to Say It.
Since Nanda was sick, the mother slept with Nanda and Andi in the living room, Nanda could not sleep in the room because of the hassle if she had to get out of bed when she had to go to the bathroom.
Tonight, Titi and Ari rest after being tired of activities.
They were sitting on the bed and still talking.
" So what did Nanda's friends and teachers respond when they came to visit Nanda, may? " ask Ari.
" Alhamdulillah, said ustadz Ridwan, Ustadz Ridwan will help provide learning materials to Nanda so that Nanda can join the semester next month.
His friends also prayed to Nanda so that Nanda would get well soon and be able to go back to school" replied Titi.
" Good yes pay, Pak Kawar can help treat Nanda. Hopefully Nanda can recover soon and can move again.
May was shocked and panicked when she heard Nanda crying and asking for help, but not long ago may asked her not to climb a tree" Titi said, recalling the moment Nanda fell from a tree.
" May, if you speak carefully. The words of the old man can be a prayer, let alone the words of a mother.
Proven right? may said Nanda would fall if she climbed, but Nanda actually fell" Ari told Titi.
" May doesn't pray for Nanda to fall, pay, later advises Nanda not to go up the tree for fear of her falling" Titi said.
" Yes, so be careful when talking, say good if talking to the child. "said Ari again in a tone that is not pleasant to hear for Titi.
Hearing what Ari said, Titi became speechless and did not want to reply to Ari's words anymore.
Titi is hurt by the words Ari who is like blaming Titi for the disaster that happened to Nanda.
Maybe what Ari said was right, so Titi was more careful when telling their children not to happen something bad to them.
Actually it is not what Ari said that makes Titi hurt, but the way Ari conveyed it that makes Titi hurt because it feels like blame.
So far Titi always try to keep the words and the way he conveys his words so that what he says does not offend others especially if it makes others sick.
Titi remembers that Ari was once angry at Titi because the way Titi spoke to Ari made Ari feel offended and angry at Titi.
The flashback
That night they just went home to buy Ari's favorite fried rice.
Titi put the stale bought in the middle room because they would eat together there.
Titi took a plate, spoon and drinking water in the kitchen and put it in the middle room.
Titi opened the fried rice and put it on the plate and gave it to Ari and her children.
As they were eating, Ari asked Titi to make syrup.
" Ma, please make some syrup with ice cubes, okay? " pinta Ari while eating her fried rice.
" What the hell didn't you do, papa? " titi said as she stood up to head to the kitchen.
Suddenly Ari threw the fried rice he ate to the surprise of Titi and her children.
" Why say that, ma? don't like it when papa asks for a drink? mad because papa asked for help? " ask Ari on Titi.
Titi was astonished by what Ari said as she was offended by Titi's words.
Though the intention of Titi said it to show that he would gladly do Ari's request.
Titi thinks he said it wrong?
" Whose angry, pa? try to listen carefully to what your mom says. Mama intends to tease papa, not angry at being told to make syrup. "titi said while taking the plate that was thrown by Ari.
" Eat again son, the fried rice." Titi said to her two children who were silent at Ari's anger.
Titi went to the kitchen to make the syrup as Ari wanted.
" Eat again, pa,.! here's the syrup..! " titi said as she placed the syrup near Ari sat down.
Finally they went back to eating and enjoying fried rice.
Not only that, when she was a child Titi had also heard from Aunt Des that her aunt Des's husband said that Titi was a mistress.
That's because Titi asked about the arrival of Aunt Des's husband who came to Titi's parents' house after he had previously returned home.
" Why come again, om? " titi asked her husband, Aunt Des.
Titi's intention asked so out of fear that something was left behind so that Aunt Des's husband came back to Titi's parents' house.
Apparently Des's aunt's husband told her what Titi told her and told her that Titi was lying.
Hearing what Aunt Des said, Titi instantly fell silent. They were telling something funny so they laughed.
But when he heard the words of Aunt Des, Titi's laughter immediately disappeared.
" It seems that what is said with good intentions can make people offended if the way to say it is wrong" Titi said in her heart.
Titi is stingy, if there is something that just slightly offends her, then she will hurt and feel sad.
But Titi never showed her sadness and offence, she kept herself in her heart, or if no one knew then she would cry.
Ever since hearing the words of Aunt Des,. Titi began to keep her words and was more silent.
Titi was afraid that her words would offend others even if it did not mean to offend others with what she said.
Titi's adoptive sister also once said that Titi's words were hurtful.
" Titi rarely spoke, but once said his words were ugly" said Titi's adoptive brother.
If you are gathering with friends or family, Titi becomes afraid to say something and he will think if he will say it out of fear if what he says can make others hurt.
Since then Titi has been a little quiet and doesn't talk much.
If angry or offended, Titi just kept quiet and did not say anything for fear that his words hurt the hearts of others.
But if Titi couldn't hold back her anger, then Titi would say hurtful words.
Flashback off
Seeing that Titi was just silent, Ari finally did not say anything else, because there was nothing they wanted to discuss.
Actually, sometimes Titi likes to be offended by the way Ari conveys something to her, but Titi always tries to understand that maybe Ari does not mean to make Titi offended by what she says.
And so that there is no discord, Titi just kept quiet and calmed her own heart.
After feeling comfortable, Titi will only reply to Ari's words but try to make what he said does not make Ari also feel offended.
Because both tired, Ari and Titi both fall asleep soundly.
