Husein sat near his mother, then brought a spoonful of rice and side dishes to the mouth of his mother.
But the woman did not open her mouth. And now he is staring at her. I don't know what's on his mind right now. So that makes Husein want to lower his head.
And before that happened, Oma Sekar opened his mouth. Then devoured a spoonful of rice that his son was holding. Those who saw that revealed a faint smile of relief.
Inwardly, Husein was quite happy, his mother willing to accept his bribe. He said, hopefully one day before the death is present, they can unite and gather with a full family.
And no one knows, deep down in my heart. He wanted to hug the man who was now feeding him. Because of the longing that is burning. But, as much as possible he could endure that taste.
Slowly but surely, in the midst of the silence created, Oma Sekar finished the plate of rice. Husein put the dishes on the nightstand. Then grab a glass of drinking water and medicine. Her mother obediently swallowed the medicine.
Those who see as if they want to cheer, because the oma Sekar is not as usual. However, trying hard to be detained, do not want to be considered more.
After the full bribing incident, the arrival of a doctor and nurse averted their eyes.
"Excuse me, let's go check on Mom first." The doctor said.
He began to conduct a series of examinations. While the nurse who stood beside him, prepared to record every patient's development.
Although Abigail was a doctor, she left everything to her colleague.
"Everything is showing good progress. Starting from his normal pulse. Skin that looks reddened again, indicating snake venom has stopped spreading. For the scar, we can use ointment. On the part that is exposed to broken glass, also shows a fairly good development. Though it's quite in his wound. I hope you recover soon, mother."
Just nodding a little of his head. He was really the one who used the talk-saving mode. Which made everyone afraid of him.
Not long after the examination was completed, the Lidya and Rosa family bailed home.
"Sir Hussein of the family. If Lidya or Rosa did wrong and did wrong, I as a parent pleaded for them. Thank you for all the help. Excuse us to go home." said Mr. Citro.
"They're both nothing wrong, sir. We thank you for saving my mother's life. Be careful on the road, sir. Sorry I can't get to the front." replied Husein.
"Yes sir it's okay."
"Mother Sekar, may soon recover. To be able to gather at home with a beloved family. We say goodbye first ma'am." Mr. Citro bowed respectfully to the ice-cold-faced woman.
Don't forget they shake hands with each other. And when Lidya and Rosa were about to extend a hand to Oma Sekar, both of them suddenly hesitated.
But if you do not experience it, it will create a bad impression. Finally the two reached out to Oma Sekar.
For a moment the old woman whose beauty was awake all the time noticed the two, then returned their handshakes.
Afterwards, it was the turn of the two parents Lidya and Rosa who shook hands. Oma Sekar returned the handshake. In fact, he is usually very anti-shake hands with the poor.
Again those who see, feel relieved. The weight on their shoulders is like lifting slowly.
After their departure, the atmosphere of the room was still. Bad thoughts begin to appear in each other's minds.
Much different things are happening in the car Citro sir. Along the way, they continued to vent happiness. Especially in addition to Zaidan who continues to chatter, so that adds to the crowd.
"We stopped by to buy breakfast first. Instead of breakfast at home, hunt more and more laper. Moreover, the cook is also here."
"Yes pa. Lidya agrees." exclaimed Lidya. He felt his stomach hungry again. Ms. Cici just shook her head.
Finally the car turned in a morning soto stall. They sat in Lesehan facing the street. A waiter approached them to take note of the order menu.
While waiting for the order to come, Cici's mother, who was still curious, asked back to Lidya. About what really happened.
However, her daughter continued to dodge. Until finally their order came.
"Let's eat first, it's still hot."
"Ready pa." Lidya eagerly poured a few spoonfuls of sambal into her soto bowl.
"Oh my goodness, baby. Don't dong much, it'll hurt his stomach."
Ms. Cici swallowed the saliva, looking at the flushed Lidya bowl, due to the large amount of sambal poured.
"Just like Rosa ma'am. I don't know, young people really like to eat spicy." timpal bu Susi. Which makes them chuckle.
They also began to enjoy a bowl of soto that still reflected the hot smoke. It makes them sweat. Even the little Zaidan looked voracious as well.
In between meals, Bu Cici noticed Rosa who was feeding her child.
"Rosa, you better order some more. Time 1 bowl for both. Where's full?"
"It's enough, ma'am." refused Rosa smooth.
"Maybe Rosa's new diet program ma." joked Mr. Citro.
They talked to each other, until the food ran out. After paying, Mr. Citro escorted Rosa and her mother first.
"Thank you for all the help, sir, ma'am" said Rosa and her mother after they reached home.
"Together, we are like a family. If there's anything, don't hesitate to tell."
"That's what my wife said. Besides Rosa, Lidya doesn't have any friends."
"Who said Rosa was Lidya's only friend. There's Abi's brother who wants to be Lidya's friend."
Lidya sneered at the words of her father who seemed to mock her. But those who saw his face chuckled.
"That's not Lidya's friend. But BOYFRIEND." insisted his papa, which again made them chuckle.
But Lidya just rounded his eyes, then hit his papa arm.
"Just son, Abi's brother is a private teacher and Lidya's friend. No more. Abi also did not shoot Lidya. Papa ish, he likes to spread slander."
"Of course, not in a storm. We are new to someone else's house. It's not good if anyone hears. In the thought of what the hell." ma'am Cici finally mediated the debate that occurred.
"Excuse me ma'am, let's go home first. Dadagh Zaidan." mom Cici waved at the little guy with a smile. Rosa's family replied by waving their hands at them. After that, the car drove back.
Not yet, they both entered the house. Some neighbors around who happened to be shopping for vegetables while bershibah approached them.
"Wait Ros. Wait for Susi." they shouted.
Rosa and her mother turned to the mothers who looked like the pursuers of news.
