Patience of a Wife's Heart

CHAPTER 24 THE FORGOTTEN PROMISE

Not long after the adzan isya berkumandang Rian and Diani again perform congregational prayers, after they finished they went down to dinner.

"Siti granny Ijah same Icha has not been awake yet, please call yes, let me continue" Diani ordered to Siti .

"Good ma'am" Sitipun immediately rushed towards Icha's room and Ijah's grandmother.

tok tok tok (Siti knocking on room door)

Grandma Ijah who had just finished praying isya immediately stood in between her prayer beads to open the door "There is a neng" Grandma Ijah was surprised to see Siti who came.

"That's mom, waiting for the master and mistress to have dinner" Siti also conveyed the intention of her arrival.

"It's okay, thank you Siti" Grandma Ijah said with a smile.

"Sama-sama ma'am, then excuse me" Sitipun left grandmother Ijah after getting a nod from her.

"Icha, yuk nak we've been waiting for the same om and aunt" Invite grandmother Ijah and be taken by Icha.

Grandma Ijah and Icha went to the dinner table "Sorry ma'am, sir you are waiting for me and Icha".

" It's okay Grandma, we just sat down" Diani said with a friendly smile.

"Thank you again sir, ma'am" Grandma Ijah started to tear up.

"Grandmother don't hesitate, now we are family, so whatever grandma needs, just tell me or Diani" Rian said to Grandma Ijah with a smile.

Icha who had been silent from earlier suddenly said "Wahhh, the food is delicious yes Nek, unlike at home used to only eat tofu" said Icha reminiscing bitter memories with the grandmother.

"Icha can't do that, we should always be grateful even if we just eat tofu, there are still many people who suffer more than we want" the grandmother advised Icha to always be grateful.

"This is the mas plate, Icha same grandma please take yes food, do not be shy" said Diani while spooning rice dishes Rian and filling her also with various side dishes that have been cooked by Siti.

"Let's mom, thank you" Grandma Ijah scooped the rice into an Icha plate and the pits then took the chicken for Icha.

After finishing eating Diani took Icha and Grandma Ijah to the family room to watch TV. In the room there is a sofa and a thick carpet super luxurious and soft which is on the floor.

Icha watched the cartoon series of children Upin and Ipin, he laughed several times to see the funny scenes of the twins. Ijah's grandmother couldn't hold back tears from seeing Icha's happiness.

Diani who noticed Ijah's grandmother several times rubbed her eyes and asked" Grandma why, do not feel at home living with us".

" No ma'am, I'm very happy here, I'm just moved to see the Happiness of Icha, because in the past if you want to watch TV to a neighbor's house first, sometimes Icha is often kicked out of her friends when you want to watch" Remember Grandma Ijah.

Diani hugged Grandma Ijah and rubbed her back slowly"Now Grandma Ijah and Icha are as happy as watching TV, whenever you want.

Rian who heard Ijah's grandmother tell him the story also moved" Oh god how hard life you live son, you are still a child, you should only know to play" Said Rian while rubbing the head of Icha in his lap.

"Sir, there's something I want to talk to Grandma about" Rian said suddenly.

Diani took off her hug on Ijah's grandmother "Please sir".

"Me and Diani intend to raise Icha as our daughter" Rian's remarks made Grandma Ijah surprised.
