Rainbow At The End of Longing

29. Rainbows At the End of Missing (2 )

"Shofi," said Mas Awan.

"Mas Cloud," I said as well.

Me and Mas Awan still looked at each other intensely. A smile of happiness adorned the faces of each of us who had returned to shed tears. The longing emanated very clearly from the faces of the two of us. And I am very grateful, because finally the rainbow was present also at the end of our longing.

The clouds then stepped towards me. My mother swiftly took over my baby and carried him a little away, making room for me as well as Mas Awan.

"Shofi," called Mas Awan once again who immediately sat himself in my hospital bed and hugged me tightly.

"Mas Awan," I said, replying to Mas Awan's embrace as tightly.

The cry again broke out filling this VIP inpatient room. Happy crying full of longing. Gratitude is also unceasingly extended to Allah Subhanahu wata'ala who has shown His power and restored Mas Awan to be able to re-assemble with us all at this time.

"Alhamdulillaahi robbil 'aalamiin. Thank goodness, finally Mas Awan back too," I said on the sidelines sobbing me.

"Yes, honey. I'm back now" replied Mas Awan as he kissed the top of my head.

"I miss the same Mas Awan" I said.

"Mas misses you too, baby. Kangen the same Keinan, the same baby grandpa, and others too," reply Mas Awan as well.

Mas Awan let go of his embrace. The tears that washed my face.

"Please forgive Mas's absence for almost six months yes, dear," said Mas Awan, apologizing.

"Mas doesn't have to apologize. It was not the fault of the Cloud. Everything is the destiny of Allah Subhanahu wata'ala that we must live together, Mas," I reply.

Me and Mas Awan then both smiled gently.

"Father, Mother. Kei also wants to be hugged," chirped Keinan suddenly.

Me and Mas Awan immediately turned towards Keinan who was standing next to me.

"Eh, yes. Until he forgot his son Papa. Here and there, dear," call Mas Awan as he pulls Keinan's hand.

"Baby grandpa too," Keinan said again.

"Hmm, yeah. Here Nek, baby brother," I asked my mother.

"Yes yes, who wants to hug one family," mother seduced while handing my baby back to me.

I accepted my baby son and held him in my arms.

"Now, here Papa hugged all three of them," said Mas Awan who then immediately embraced my body and also Keinan.

Mas Awan hugged the three of us then also kissed the forehead of the three of us in turn. I can see my mother, Mama Wulan, Papa Surya, Bang Langit, Hamzah, and the man who was also moved to see the reunion of my small family today.

"Papa dear Mommy, Keinan's sister, and also the Space Dedek," said Mas Awan.

"Space Sword? So baby grandpa's name is Space Dedek huh, Pa?" keinan asked curiously by raising his face.

"Yes, Brother. His name is Angkasa. What, nice isn't his name baby grandpa?" reply Mas Awan at once asked the opinion of Keinan.

"Hmm, Space, huh? Sure can. Nice name," Keinan replied then after thinking for a moment.

I, Mas Awan, and all those in my inpatient room laughed at Keinan's reply. A moment later Mas Awan released his arms to me, Keinan, and baby Angkasa.

"Oh yeah, everybody introduce Kang Rijal. Kang Rijal and his family who helped the Awan first and also have accommodated the Clouds to live with their families during the Cloud amnesia and have not been able to remember about the past Cloud before," say Mas Awan later.

"Assalamu'alaikum everything," said Kang Rijal later.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered us all.

Papa Surya then approached Kang Rijal.

"Thank you very much, son Rijal. Thank you for saving my son Awan. Thank you also for allowing Awan to stay with your family all this time" Papa Surya said, patting Kang Rijal on the shoulder.

"Together, Sir. It has become our duty as fellow human beings to help each other" Kang Rijal replied.

Mama Wulan also then approached Kang Rijal.

"Bak Rijal, our family owes a huge debt to the son of Rijal and also to the family of other Rijal nak. Please tell us, we have to repay all these debts in what way?" mama Wulan asked, feeling very indebted.

"It doesn't have to be that way, Mom. We are all sincere to help Awan," replied Kang Rijal.

"But son---"

"Already, mother. Really, we've all been sincere about helping the Clouds all this time" Kang Rijal said.

"Me and my other family would like to thank Kang Rijal and the rest of Kang Rijal's family, Kang. May Allah Subhanahu wata'ala repay all the kindness of Kang Rijal and the family with even more kindness," said I who also thank you.

"Yes, Neng Shofi. You welcome. And thank you for your prayers, too" replied Kang Rijal.

"Ehem, it seems like I've left Abah, Umi, and my sister for too long. And because now the Clouds have also been reunited with their families, then I beg you to leave first, yes. Want to go back to my Abah inpatient room," said Kang Rijal later.

"Loh, his brother Nak Rijal was admitted to this hospital as well, huh?" ask Mama Wulan.

"Yes, ma'am" replied Kang Rijal.

"Yes, Ma. Abah Imron is suffering from pulmonary hypertension. And yesterday it was referred to this hospital for further treatment" Mas Awan said.

"If so let's nak Rijal, let father and son Rijal return to his brother's hospital room nak Rijal. All the fathers also want to meet with his brother Rijal and the family of other Rijal nak, want to say thank you in person," Papa Surya said later.

"Eh, there's no need to go that way, sir," Kang Rijal refused to feel bad.

"No pa-pa, Kang. I also want to meet Abah and the rest of Kang Rijal's family. Kang Rijal's brother nengokin as well. So let's Kang, let me and my Papa take Kang Rijal back to his brother Kang Rijal's hospital room," said Bang Langit as well.

"But---"

"Udah, Kang. Not a pa-pa. Please let Papa and my brother to escort Kang Rijal back to Abah Imron's hospital room, yes," Mas Awan cut as well.

"Hmm, yes, that's it. Come, sir, Kang," said Kang Rijal, who eventually agreed to Papa Surya and Bang Langit to drive him back to Abah Imron's hospital room.

"Yes, Kang. Come," reply Bang Langit as well.

"Ma, Papa nganter nak Rijal back to his brother's inpatient room first, yes," said Papa Surya to Mama Wulan.

"Yes, Pa. Please say thank you from Mama and the rest of the family as well" Mama Wulan said.

"Yes, Ma. Sure," replied Papa Surya.

"Then I say yes, Clouds and all. Assalamu'alaikum," said Kang Rijal.

"Yes, Kang. Wa'alaikumsalam," I replied, Mas Awan, and the others together.

Kang Rijal then stepped out of my inpatient room accompanied by Papa Surya and Bang Langit. The three of them were about to go to Abah Imron's hospital room.
