The brotherly bond does not need blood flow, even those who are initially foreign can be bound in that one word. The tight fabric of the relationship they build, like blood siblings.
Nadia sobbed in her sister's arms. Evaporating emotions that have since erupted asking to be spewed out. Uncle Harith smiled, what he was worried about did not happen.
"Say me, why do you do that? Why did you give your kidney to Mommy? Tell me, Rima, why?" cecar Nadia still questioned the same thing on the girl in his arms.
Winda shrunk his tears, moved to see Nadia and Rima who shed all emotions.
"Sorry, Ma'am. Ii'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me, Ma'am. Don't hate me," Pinta Rima did not dare to take off the hug rather did not dare to look into the eyes of her brother.
Nadia shook her head, unable to answer Rima's words. What's angry? Who is angry? What else to hate. Whatisit? Why would he do all that?
"Mbak is angry because you didn't talk about it with Mbak. There's no way Ma'am hates you, Rima. Is that why you look tired all this time? Because you only have one kidney just like Mommy." Rima nodded to Nadia's words.
His face was on the girl's shoulders. All this time he had not noticed it, he thought because Rima was indeed too tired in the boutique. That'sthat's all.
"If I say the same Ma'am, surely Mbak will not allow. Just like Mom, who strictly forbade us to do so." Frankly Rima said it.
Nadia took off a hug, staring at her sister's wet bead as she pleased. He dropped the glances on the Windas that were pecking at their sides. Explaining what Rima said just now.
"So, you two ...." His index finger pointed alternately at the two girls. Winda shook his head, dismissing what was on Nadia's mind.
"Darling, you better sit down. Only then did he speak again," said Harits' uncle, who had landed his butt on the couch. He patted the sofa next to him as his wife turned her head.
Nadia leads Rima, not forgetting to take Winda to follow her husband's advice. He landed a body on the man's side, while the two girls sat in front of him. Uncle Harith rubbed Nadia's cheek before putting his hand behind the woman's body. Rubbing his shoulders softly.
"Now explain, what do you want to explain?" uncle Harits said quietly, but demanded. His gaze was imprinted on the two pairs of beads in front that were rolling glances at each other.
"Mmm .. sorry, earlier ... where did Brother and Mbak know about it? I just found out this afternoon," asked Winda curious to know. At the tomb, he saw no one. Maybe he was unconscious instead of not looking.
"We were going to visit Mom and Dad, accidentally seeing Rima who was crying while telling a story. So, I brought your mother home because there she almost went berserk"
"Aw!" Uncle Harith complained as Nadia's hand pinched her waist. He laughed and pulled his wife's head in his arms.
Smiling Rima and Winda saw the woman's lips form an upward curved line.
"Before, when Mom was alive we always asked Mom to allow one of us to give Mbak a kidney, but Mom always refused. She said, I can't let either of you sacrifice because it would be against your Mother's responsibility as your Mother." Rima glanced at Winda who was also staring at him.
"Why don't I know about that?" Nadia regretted it. She slipped her head in her husband's armpits, hiding a cry.
"Because we are keeping it all a secret from Mbak," said Winda, "I just found out that Rima was the one who donated his kidney to Mbak. The day of the operation, he was not with us. I thought he was leaving because of a boutique, so he was in the operating room with Mommy." Rima looked down as Winda glanced at him.
Uncle Harits nodded his head. The passage of time takes her on the day Nadia is dying and must get a blood donor as soon as possible. At that time the hospital gave him an update and without asking for more details, he agreed.
"It was only fitting that the doctor refused the money I wanted to give the donor. Apparently that guy was you, Rima. I as the representative of Nadia and her parents, thank you, and apologize for not knowing about it all along. Thank you, Rima, Winda, you have no blood ties, but your brotherhood is very strong."
Uncle Harits sighed, he glanced at Nadia who was still burrowing her face in her chest. Swiping his head slowly. Then, he glanced back at the two girls before him.
"I hope you guys will stay like this. Support and support each other, and share sadness and joy. We are all family, no more covered. Do you understand?" uncle Harits said at length.
Winda and Rima both nodded in understanding. Nadia raised her face, she spread her arms asking the two to hug.
Winda and Rima poured into her brother's arms. Weeping is full of happiness.
"You are my sister. Thank you for the life you give. Mbak would never know what it would be like to get pregnant and give birth if Rima did not give her kidneys to Mbak. You guys never hesitate to complain to Mbak. Don't hide anything else from the mother. You have to promise," said Nadia mixed with the cry of novelty have a sister like the two of them.
"Bak also do not ever hold the pain alone. We both feel useless as sisters because Mbak never shared the pain with us." Rima said softly.
Uncle Harits smiled, happy ending. Everything feels great when it comes at the right time. Accepting, forgiving, and supporting each other.
Nadia breaks down a hug, rubs the cheeks of her two sisters and kisses her alternately. The three smiled, and promised to take care of each other.
"Well, did you get an invitation?" Winda suddenly remembered the invitation letter he received this afternoon at the boutique.
"You got it too?" Winda and Rima nodded to Nadia's question.
"I didn't expect Ruby to get married .. but what makes me most distrust her future husband ...." Vinda's words hang on the name of the man who became Ruby's future husband.
"Not to think about it, maybe they're already married. Why are you guys burning beards?" Uncle Harits cast a gaze at the three women around him.
They just chuckled, followed by a light talk back to the way it was.
