Rain felt pain in his back, it happened because the scar on his back that had originally started to dry back bleeding due to friction that when he carried Arkana.
Rain took off his clothes and took herbal medicine made from various plants made directly by ummi shofiah. The Ummi shofiah was mashed to smear on Rain's wound.
Rain tried to re-treat his wound but looked troubled because he could not reach the wound on his back.
A sleeping Arkana suddenly wakes up and sees what Rain is doing.
" What is uncle doing ? " ask Arkana.
" I just want to heal my wounds Arkana, go back to sleep !! " pinta Rain's.
Arkana got up and got out of place.
" Sit Uncle, let arkana help "ask Arkana and then pull Rain's hand.
" No need Arkana, it's late at night. Sleep !! "
" Arkana doesn't like rejection, Uncle "
Rain suddenly fell silent and stared at Arkana. What Arkana said was very similar to what he used to say when Annisa refused his request.
Arkana brought Rain and asked Rain to sit down, Rain was hypnotized and kept staring at Arkana.
" Uncle, what Uncle saw. Come face it, let Arkana can apply this medicine to his uncle's wound "pinta Arkana.
Rain then turned his back to Arkana, and Arkana gently applied the medicine shaped like a scrub to Rain's bloody wound.
" Arakana "
" Yes Uncle ? "
" Where did you come from.you get words like that "
" What's Uncle like ? Arkana doesn't understand "
" You said you don't like rejection "
" Abi Abi's words, Abi always said like "Akana said with a smile.
Rain closed his eyes, trying to think and guess.
Not just a similar face, but Arkana's words. How can it be similar to what he often said, and the words, only to Annisa is Rain often said it. But if only Rain thought that Arkana was her child, but according to Rain it would be impossible because Annisa was not pregnant with her child.
" It's over, Uncle can lay down now. Arkana wants to wash her hands "
Arkana moves out of her room, and when Arkana comes out of her room, Rain also moves to look for something in Arkana's closet, purse, and study desk to find the answer to her curiosity. Especially Rain's curiosity about Arkana's parents.
Rain tried to find what he wanted but found no trace of it. Hearing Arkana's footsteps, Rain returned to his bed and lay down.
Arkana was lying next to Rain.
" I'm sorry Uncle, because I'm , Uncle's wound is bleeding again" Arkana said.
Rain, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes.
" It's not your fault Arkana, it's because I leaned against the wall and accidentally scratched my wound" Rain said.
" Don't lie, Uncle. Lying is sinful "
Rain smiled at Arkana, Arkana was too smart, it was very difficult to lie in front of Arkana.
" Yes well, let's just say Uncle lied. Now go to bed, it's late at night "pinta Rain.
" Okay Uncle "
Rain's curiosity about Arkana's parents made Rain impatient to ask.
" Arkana, may I ask you something? "
" What is Uncle ? "
" Where are your parents ? why aren't they here ? "
" Abi is working, and Ummi is also working in town" Rain replied.
" What are your parents like ? hmm...I mean are they older than me ? "
" Abi is the most handsome man, and Ummi is the most beautiful woman that Arkana has.
Abi's face is very similar to mine "
Glekk..
Rain gulped at Arkana's words.
" Aren't our faces the same as Arkana's "
" No Uncle, our faces are not the same. Abi's face was even more handsome than uncle's "
Rain chuckled at Arkana's reply, Rain realized that he had thought too far. Arkana was so sure he said that his father was at work, it meant that Rain was not Arkana's father. It's also impossible for Rain to have a child.
" What was the name of your parents Arkana ? "
Rain's last question, so that Rain would no longer be curious about what was on his mind right now.
" Arakana "
Rain stretched out his hand to touch and gently stroked the tip of Arkana's head, staring at Arkana until Rain fell asleep.

The next day Rain on his own foot came back to the village hall. He wants to try to contact Reyhan. Only Reyhan is the one he can call and trust, Rain hopes this time Reyhan answers the phone from him because he is also worried about his sister Kayla. Rain wanted Reyhan to protect Kayla, because if anyone currently wanted to kill her, there was a chance that her sister's life was also threatened.
Arkana is busy studying in her room, while Rain invites Arkana to come with her. However Arkana refused because it did not bother Rain anymore, let alone see Rain's wounds that were bleeding again.
While studying, Arkana remembered his Ummi. Arkana goes to meet Umm Shofiah.
" Granny.....!! " call Arkana.
" Yes, dear Arkana. What's up ? "
" Don't it be one Sunday, did Ummi come home today ? " ask Arkana enthusiastically.
" Yes, it's been a week. Pray for Arkana, may your mother come home today "
" Good grandma "
Arkana returns to her room while waiting for Annisa to arrive. Arkana waited until she fell asleep, she even woke up in the afternoon, and went straight out of the room to look for her mother.
" Ummi has come, Grandma ? " ask Arkana.
" Not yet dear "
" Uncle Rain hasn't come yet ? "
" Hmm.not yet "
Arkana who initially seemed enthusiastic now moved her lips. She was sad because her mother was not there.
Arkana then went out and sat on the porch of the house. Arkana lay haphazardly closing both her eyes with her hands. She misses her mother so much and she wants to cry right now.
" Assalamualaikum, son of Sholeh Ummi "
Arkana was silent, she was like hearing her mother's voice but Arkana tried to brush her off because Arkana felt it was all just her feelings. Arkana was still reluctant to open her two eyes which she closed with her own hands.
" Sons of Sholeh Ummi, assalamualaikum "
Arkana opened both eyes, and was shocked to see Annisa who was already in front of her at this time.
" Y......!! " cried Arkana and hugged Annisa.
Annisa smiled as she hugged the tiny body of Arkana, during this week Annisa did not stop thinking about Arkana, as well as Arkana, Annisa so missed her child.
" Greetings Ummi has not been answered dearly, Assalamualaikum "
" Wa'alaikumussalam, Ummi "answered Arkana and re-embraced Annisa.
" Arkana misses Ummi, hmmm...Ummi also dear "
" Yes Ummi, Arkana will be angry if Ummi does not come home today "
" Anged, Arkana dared to get angry at Ummi "
" No Ummi, Arkana was just joking" Arkana said, chuckling.
" Yes, baby, oh where's Grandma ? " ask Annisa.
" Anisa.." call Umm shofiah when you see Annisa.
" Ommi "
Annisa shakes hands and hugs Umm Shofiah.
" Thank God you've come home to Annisa, Ummi is very worried about you "
" Yes Ummi "
" Yummi...!! " call Arkana.
" Yes, baby ? "
" In our house we have guests "
" Oh yeah, really ? where is the guest ? " ask Annisa.
" Are there really guests ? " tanya Annisa returned to Ummi shofiah and was nodding back by Ummi.
" Uncle is out Ummi "
" Uncle ? " ask Annisa.
" Who is Ummi's guest, a man ? " ask Annisa to Umm Shofiah.
" Yes Annisa, Ummi will tell me "
" Ummie..Ummi.that Uncle has come "
Hearing Arkana's call, Annisa turns around to see the guest that Arkana is referring to. And Annisa rounded her eyes as she looked at the man in front of her.
