Rainbow of Your Eyes
CHAPTER 58 Worry
It had been almost three months since Sari's death, Reza still could not dispel her grief. It has been almost three months also mother and Rainbow for a while stay with Reza to take care of Gilang, because since Sari left, Gilang more fussy. Rainbow actually wants to return to his house, but he pity Gilang, Gilang will definitely cry if left by Rainbow. Since staying at Reza's house, Pelangi and Gilang have been getting closer. Rainbow has loved Gilang like his own biological child and that also makes Rainbow worried whether to stay forever with Reza or return home. On Sunday afternoon while Pelangi and Gilang were playing in the guest room, Reza tried to talk about Rainbow's agreement with Sari, which was to marry her.
"Where's the rainbow, I haven't seen my mother, before" asked Reza.
"Ooh.Mom and make Inah again go monthly shopping to the supermarket," I replied while continuing to play cars with Gilang.
"Oh that..," said Reza slowly.
"Rainbow..," call Reza later.
"Yes..," I said as I continued to play with Gilang.
"About our promise to Sari" Reza said.
Suddenly, Rainbow's heart beats when Reza suddenly talks about their promise to Sari, which is that they are willing to get married.
"I don't want to talk about it yet" I said.
"But.why do you want to fulfill Sari's request," asked Reza.
"Udahlah Za, I do not want to discuss it first," I replied ketus.
"Sorry Rainbow if the question makes you uncomfortable" Reza said.
"OK...for a while we do not need to discuss it first yes..," said Reza again.
The rainbow does not answer all Reza's words, he just keeps quiet and hopes Reza does not discuss their marriage anymore. The rainbow becomes indecisive, on the one hand the Rainbow does not love Reza anymore but must marry Reza in order to fulfill his promise to the late Sari, on the other hand, Pelangi loves Hendra but until now his relationship with Hendra is only limited to friends even though they are still communicating. Tonight inside the room, Rainbow could not sleep, Rainbow kept on fidgeting over the matter. Rainbow then knocked on the door of the room mother hope that mother can provide the best solution for her or if she does not find the solution, at least Rainbow can be a little relieved because there are friends to tell her that is her mother.
"Mom.." call me while knocking on mom's room door.
"Yes son, come in" cried the mother from the room.
The rainbow came into the room after mom told her to come in. It turns out that the new mother finished praying, it looks like the mother is folding her mukena and her alphabet.
"Mommy's not asleep," I asked.
"Not yet son.mother just finished praying...," said the mother gently.
I know that there is something that Rainbow wants to say, because it has become a habit of Rainbow if he has a problem facing Rainbow will definitely come to his mother's room to just tell a story.
"Mom..." I said slowly.
"Yes son, what's wrong ?" ask mother.
"Mom...Rainbow kangen with our house, long we have lived," I said.
"It's been almost 3 months that we haven't been home, ma'am" I said.
"Mom... The rainbow wants to go home" I said.
"Yes, I want you to go home too" said the mother.
"Next week we go home ma'am." I asked.
"Mommy wants to go home anytime, but I'm the same as Reza let alone the same Gilang," replied the mother.
"Keep mother wants to stay here forever," I said.
"No, I still have my own home" she said.
"Mother still heavy leaving Gilang," said the mother again.
"So I don't think about Gilang anymore" I said again.
"How about Reza, does he want Gilang to stay with us" said the worried mother.
"Let's talk to Reza ma'am later" I said.
"Pity Gilang he was a child still needs attention and affection...Reza will definitely be busy with his work" said the mother.
"Yaaaah I hope Reza allows ya ma'am..," I said.
"Amiin..," mother's prayer.
"Mom..," I said slowly.
"What rainbow there is.what else is still in your heart," asked the mother to see the look on the face of a serious rainbow.
"Last afternoon Reza asked about Rainbow's promise to Sari bu." I said.
"Reza asked about the wedding" I said.
"Keep your answer to what, son," look at mother.
"The rainbow can't answer you yet ma'am...The rainbow still doesn't want to talk about that" I said.
"But Rainbow, sooner or later you have to decide whether or not you're willing to marry Reza" she said.
"It all depends on you son, so think carefully lest you regret your choice later" advised the mother.
"Whatever the decision you make, I always pray and support you son" said the mother.
"If you are happy, you will be happy, son.think carefully," said the mother again.
"But ma'am, Pelangi promised Sari that she should marry Reza" I said.
"Sari no son.for what do you fulfill the promise to make happy people who have died, while you yourself are not happy living your life.Sari certainly there will also be sad to see it," mother explained at length.
"Yes, ma'am" I said.
The rainbow felt a little relieved by what the mother said. Mother's words have a point, we do not have to fulfill our promises to the dead to be happy while we ourselves are not happy.
"Yes, if that's the case, thank you ma'am, I'd like to hear the rainbow," I said while hugging my mother.
"Now you sleep well, don't think about the things first yes," said the mother.
"Yes ma'am.mom also rest yes, don't be tired," I said.
After saying good night to mother, Rainbow left the mother's room to her bedroom to rest. Hearing the advice of the mother, Rainbow's mind was a little open to decide what to take in the future. Before entering his room first Pelangi wanted to see the state of Gilang. Such is the routine of Rainbow before going to bed, making sure Gilang really have a good sleep. Rainbow loves Gilang as much as his own son. That night he saw Gilang had fallen asleep. He saw Gilang's innocent face and stroked the little boy's plump cheeks.
"Relieve..strictly love you son..," I said as I continued stroking his cheeks.
"Papa you are now busy with his work.certainly you are lonely yes..," I said again.
"But you don't have to be afraid, baby, there is a Rainbow aunt, there is a grandmother who accompanies you" I said.
"You'll grow up to be a good boy, you know, you can't be naughty" I said again.
Rainbow looked at the adorable little boy's face, so handsome and so cute. After being satisfied to look at Gilang's face, finally Pelangi continued to enter his room and fell asleep soundly.
