NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)
NDA -112
Since the afternoon, all the Selenia families had gathered in their homes. Everyone is busy preparing for the evening. Mr. Fendi and Mr. Edwin who happened to have a similar hobby - karaoke-singing in the living room.
Meanwhile, Bu Lisa and Bi Iyah were busy with their own consumption affairs in the kitchen. Bu Lisa strictly forbids Selenia to follow busy for fear of her fatigue. Be Selenia shut herself up in a YouTube viewing room. Adam himself is struggling with a laptop and files to complete his resignation letter from Mr. Anton's office which he will hand over the day after tomorrow. A few days ago when she was in control of the hospital, the doctor had already allowed her to gradually start the activity.
When evening approached, and Selenia came out of the room with a neat and fragrant appearance, Adam immediately gasped at her with anxiety because he was also both new out of the room.
"I miss you so bad!" adam said because this sesorean felt he had ignored his wife.
Selenia pinches Adam's waist, pretending to be sulking. But Adam actually replied to the scowl with a brief kiss on Selenia's lips.
"Eehhh.. later seen by mama Ihoh.." protest Selenia lirih. Even so, he always liked Adam's sweet treats.
Adam chuckled and did not care. She embraces Selenia's waist taking her downstairs.
Downstairs, they found Papa was seriously playing chess. Adam held back a smile looking at the worn-out chessboard. It's been a long time since he put it in the closet under the television, right? Who found him? And it seems that the position of Mr. Fendi is being threatened because some of his chess children have been eaten by chess children belonging to Mr. Edwin.
"Hey, Dam. Join here!" Mr. Fendi waved his hand. "Please help your father-in-law set a strategy with chess children who live how much, it seems your father is ambitious to beat Papa," he joked as he glanced at Mr. Edwin who even laughed.
Adam and Selenia laughed and walked over to the two. But upon arrival in the living room, and Adam even took a serious part in organizing a strategy to help Mr. Fendi, Selenia decided to meet Ms. Lisa and Bi Iyah in the kitchen.
"Mama" said Selenia like a child.
"Hey, dear afternoon," Miss Lisa turned away from her busy life in front of the cabinet table. He's making something out of flour. "Where's damam?"
"In the living room, same Papa-Papa," Selenia sat on the dining chair. His eyes stared at the dining table full of various kinds of food. Wow, lots of food. Since when did Mama prepare all this?
"She just came out of her room too?"
"Yes, Ma."
"Hmmm... That boy. Close the years masiiih aja busy with work," Bu Lisa shook her head.
Selenia just smiled. He was not surprised by Adam's character of work. From the beginning he knew her, Adam was a hard worker. No wonder Mr. Anton loved him so much and gave his position. Ah, Selenia so thought about the resignation plan. How Mr. Anton will react.
"What else would you do?" Selenia turned around on her chair. "This is a lot of food, who would want to eat this much food Mama??"
"You don't have to worry. When it comes to finishing food, Adam is equally the best Papa. Oh yeah, you've been drinking milk?"
"This morning, we're going to school."
"Geez baby, you have to routine three times a day dong," Ms. Lisa turned around and took milk from inside the cabinet. "Mama make it up."
Selenia nodded. "May be.." Happy his heart is around those who love him.
In the living room there was a loud laughter from Adam and the Papas. What are they laughing at?
Selenia got up to go to the middle room just as Bu Lisa served her milk.
"Where are you going, baby? Drink the milk first," Miss Lisa held Selenia's shoulder.
"I'm curious, they're so happy. Wanted to see..."
"You're here aja temenin mama," hold Ms. Lisa. "Boy, let's get together again. Rarely are they like that."
Selenia undoes her intentions. He sat back down and gulped down his in-laws' milk.
Selenia's phone rang. It was a video call from Cia.
The boy was showing off his company with Marvin in his own home. But to celebrate the turn of the year tonight, they already planned to go to one place. Selenia is not sure where. At school, Cia did not tell Selenia. But clearly he believes Cia is safe with Marvin.
"Hello Cia... What is your show?" Miss Lisa's coming behind Selenia.
"Hello aunt.." reply Cia centil. Selenia just giggled. "Aunty's habit..walk.. eat... happy is the point..."
"Well, yeah. Don't want to join Selenia here?"
"Hehehe, no aunt. afraid of being disturbed," Cia giggled.
Selenia rolled her eyeballs. "Yeee."
Cia chuckling. So is Miss Lisa.
"It's important to take care of yourself, Cia" said Ms. Lisa.
"Siaaap aunty."
After that, Miss Lisa returned to the cabinet table and was busy with her dough. While Selenia continues her VC chat with Cia.
...🌺🌺🌺...
The night is getting warmer and the atmosphere at home is getting warmer. Mr. Fendi and Mr. Edwin karaoke sing old songs that are not known either by Adam or Selenia. Because it must be a song of their youth. Adam and Selenia listened while snacking in the living room. Sometimes they laugh when one of the Papa there is who does not memorize the lyrics.
Oh yeah, the dining event was moved to the backyard by Bu Lisa and Bi Iyah. So the two women of different ages were also busy alone there, ignoring the men who were engrossed in the tone. Mr. Tono quite had a relaxing time today. He fell asleep in the old gazebo in the corner of the yard while listening to the radio.
When the time has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening, Mr. Fendi and Mr. Edwin stopped their karaoke sessions. Selenia had even fallen asleep on the living room sofa since nine o'clock because of heavy sleepiness. He usually sleeps at 10 p.m. The hormone is up and down.
"Honey awake," Adam patted Selenia's cheek that was fast asleep with her head in her lap.
"Mmmmhh..." Selenia flushed softly. He rubbed his eyes because of the glare from the light of the living room lamp that was right above his head. "What time is this Dam?" his voice is raspy typical wake up.
Selenia. His head slightly staggered, so he leaned back on Adam's shoulder for a moment. After a few minutes, they went to the backyard.
Everyone was partying to enjoy the food that had been prepared by Bu Lisa and Bi Iyah. There are grilled corn, grilled sausages, kebabs, fruit and others.
"Here here and there. Don't keep going" Lisa teased.
They sat in a circle on a carpet that was held on the back porch.
...🌺🌺🌺...
In his large and spacious house, Tony sat contemplating on the balcony of his room. Out there, he saw some complex children rejoicing at the turn of the year by doing various activities. The smell of burnt food came out from all directions. Everyone is really happy tonight, except him. Actually, Tony's best friend also has an event at basecamp, but Tony is not in the mood for a get-together.
He should be happy tonight, too. Enjoying the turn of the year with his parents. Hhhh, but it turns out that God actually has another plan. Or did God destroy his plan?
Indeed, at the beginning of his mother reappearing before him, Tony was indeed very angry and hated him. But when she began to try to open her heart - by meeting Ms Riska at her contract - and discovering the fact that her mother's life was deeply concerning, her instincts as a child made her forget that hatred.
Tony flipped through the white envelope in his hand. A few days ago, about two days after the death of Miss Riska, Tony and Mr. Anton returned to the hospital to take care of the administration that had not been completed on the night of Ms. Riska's death. While Mr. Anton took care of the administration, Tony packed some of his mother's belongings in his former nursery first. A nurse who had just changed the bed sheet gave her a letter she said she found under Ms Riska's pillow.
The letter had not been opened by Tony. He's not up to it yet. But tonight, he's trying to brace himself to know what it is. Delaying reading means delaying his sadness too, right?
...Dear my beloved Son...
...Sorry, because Mama has failed to be a good mother to you....
...Sorry for the time and love that was lost....
...Sorry for all the sadness and hurt that Mama caused because of the presence of Mama back....
...Understand son, when Mama decides to leave, it does not mean Mama hates you and our family. At that time you were too small to digest everything and hear the real explanation. But Mama knows, someday you'll know the reason. And Mama also knows, this is a mistake that should not happen in our family....
...Sorry, Mama shouldn't show up again....
...But I'm sorry that Mama couldn't help but miss....
...Until whenever you will remain a lamp of Mama's heart, baby....
...I'm sorry that Mama's presence has made a wound in your heart....
...Sorry if the presence of Mama only makes your time wasted just to take care of Mama who no longer has the power....
...Thank you for the effort you and Papa did for Mama....
...Thank you for your perseverance and struggle for Mama....
...Happy New Year dear....
...Be your own extraordinary person....
...With love's...
...Your Mom ♡...
Tony was sobbing even before he finished reading the letter. He crouched down on the edge of the balcony and leaned there.
"HAPPY NEW YEAAAAAAAAR!!"
"GOOD NEW YEARUUUUU!!!"
TREEEEETTTT..... DOOORR!! DOOORR!!
There was a complex children's scream below which was followed by the sound of earthy trumpets and fireworks in the sky. The excitement could not be felt at all by Tony who was in tears.
"Happy New Year, ma.." - Tony whispered to himself with quivering lips.
It was witnessed by Mr. Anton who since a few minutes ago entered Tony's room. At first he wanted to take Tony out, enjoying the atmosphere of the night so that Tony did not continue to be moody and sad. But when he saw Tony's slumped body on the edge of the balcony holding a letter in his hand, Mr. Anton's steps came to a halt. His heart was so sad to see the sadness of his child.
...🌺🌺🌺...
Unlike the atmosphere in Adam's house that is getting warmer. As the big clock in the living room chimed 12 times, they all cheered.
"HAPPY NEW YEAAAAR!!"
"Happy new year, baby!" Miss Lisa hugged Adam and Selenia alternately. "Happy new year all!"
Mr. Tono got the task of lighting fireworks directed to the sky. Adam and Selenia embraced each other with happy feelings. The fireworks above them seemed to be an aurora that complemented their happiness.
Then unbeknownst to others who are being euphoric enjoying the turn of the year, Adam and Selenia sneak into the house. Adam pulled Selenia's hand to bring her to his room. He had not dared to hold Selenia, because it was still too risky with the scar on his stomach.
"Happy new year, baby," whispered Adam with both hands cupped to Selenia's cheek.
"Hap.." Selenia had not yet finished her sentence, her lips had been gently locked by the kiss of her husband's sensual lips.
It feels warm and soothing.
...🌹🌹🌹...
...To be continuous...
