Surviving the Waiting

CHAPTERS. 235. Open Together

Happy Reading's..

After a few days, Mama Elisabeth left the home of Wiguna Albert's extended family Kim Said and had decided to settle in the Villa belonging to her second husband. Today Mama Elisabeth set foot back into the main house. Mama Elisabeth's tears were unstoppable, Mama Elisabeth recalled her past with her three children and with her husband Pak Wiguna.

Mama Elisabeth's cries were unstoppable. Mama Elisabeth saw every corner of her house and every time she was also imagined with her togetherness with all her children and grandchildren. If Mama Elisabeth could turn back the clock maybe Mama Elisabeth would have arranged everything according to her will but it was impossible and absolutely impossible.

Mama Elisabeth entered her home slowly as if she were diving into all traces of her memories with her former family. Mama Elisabeth could not possibly forget the fact that she had been a great mistress in the Main residence even to this day she was still a big Mistress even though she was married to her ex-husband.

Mama Elisabeth walked slowly to the main room of her house and stood staring at the face painting of her husband Oak Wiguna. Mama Elisabeth's tears came back from the end of her eyes.

"Dad I miss you so much, Dad how are you so long as Mama's not here?" mama Elisabeth in front of her husband's painting.

Longing again gnawed at her body and for this reason Mama Elisabeth decided to return home after almost two months of roughly one month of living in her second husband's Villa.

All those beautiful memories revolved around Elisabeth's mother's head like a cassette tape recorded clearly and in great detail. Mama Elisabeth turned to the painting to her two daughters which made her tears unstoppable again. Mama Elisabeth grew sobbing when she recalled the refusal of her two daughters to unite with her first husband. They do not agree because for them all the problems that have occurred so far in the extended family due to Pak Hendry and Arman.

Mama Elisabeth put her foot up the stairs but her steps came to a halt when Baby Zi ran over and called out to her.

"Grandma" shouted Zidane the third child of Arya and Delia.

Mama Elisabeth went back down the steps and walked towards her favorite granddaughter. Mama Elisabeth immediately carried Zidane's body that was getting bigger. Zidane is now almost 4 years old. Zidane is the third child of Arya Wiguna Albert Kim Said and Delia Paramitha Wirawan Kim Said.

"Grandmother miss Zi" said Mama Elisabeth who had held her granddaughter.

"Zidane also misses Grandma, how is it that gradma is okay?" ask Zidane.

"Alhamdulillah Grandma is fine, if Zi how are you What Zi, today is fasting?" ask Mama Elisabeth who brought her grandson's body to sit in the middle room of her house.

"Alhamdulillah Zi is also good and healthy, Si is also Grandma fasting later out of prayer zhuhur Di just breaking the fast" answered Zi innocently.

"Grandmother happily heard it dear, Mama and Father Zi where they go along with Zi or Zi just alone in the main house?" asked Mama Elisabeth who looked at the entire house but did not find a second son.

"Well Mama's father is in Zi's office here only accompanied by her baby sitter Ma'am Grandma" explained Zi.

Mama Elisabeth's face returned moody. He was eager to meet his son and daughter-in-law.

"If so befriend Grandma today Grandma want to walk around the house" said Mama Elisabeth who holds the cute hands of her granddaughter.

"When are you going back to the villa?" ask Zidane who has joined hands with his grandmother.

"God willing, Grandma will stay here last night tomorrow morning and Grandma will return to the villa" replied Mama Elisabeth.

"Ohh that's it" said Zidane.

Until the afternoon they spent time together, Mama Elisabeth now put baby Zi to sleep by reading a fairy tale, Baby every time they want to sleep must be read first by Delia, her father or her own Baby sitter. Mama Elisabeth recited the story of Aladdin until Zi's eyes slowly closed and snored.

"You're acting like your father when you're asleep, he wouldn't be able to sleep if nobody had read him a children's book".

Mama Elisabeth enveloped her grandson's body and shrank the temperature of her room cooler. Then walk outside to go to the kitchen because the wall clock has shown at half-five in the afternoon or at 16:38.

"Welcome back, big lady" said all the servants who had just realized the arrival of Mama Elisabeth.

"I'm sorry our great mistress didn't know the Madam was coming to the house" said the head chef, who lowered his head.

"It's okay, relax anyway I'm wrong not to tell you before here" said Mama Elisabeth who was happy because her return this time was welcomed warmly and kindly by everyone who worked at the Main residence.

"What does the Madam need so as to come to the kitchen?, if there is anything the mistress needs just reign to us Madam" asked the head chef.

"You seem to forget my habit of cooking special meals every day for my children and husband" said Mama Elisabeth as she put her apron into her body.

"Let us help Madam" Ucay returned the head chef.

"Thank you very much, please if you want to help me" said Mama Elisabeth.

"The lady wants to cook let me prepare the ingredients first" said the head chef who offered help.

"Today I want to cook capcay gravy, grilled fish, and prepare also tofu, tempeh, fresh chicken same fresh fruits as well because I want to make ice mixed fruit to break" mama Elisabeth's orders that have begun to mix fine herbs.

The atmosphere of the kitchen in the Main residence today is quite crowded due to the arrival of the Great Lady of the House owner. They cook and sometimes laugh together. Things that used to happen now happen again. Until their cooking is finished and ready to be served on the dining table. Today mama Elisabeth cooked quite a lot of food and all the cuisine is the menu of Nusantara food.

Starting from Ayam cook taliwang, Sate Madura, woku cooking fish, Konro soup and his friends have been presented so neatly and beautifully on the display dining table.

"If only my daughter's son were here surely this heart would be very happy".

The door to the towering, milk-chocolate house opened wide and entered the entourage of Arya Wiguna, Delia, Dessy and Dimas, Rina and Emre, Hyuna with Baby Arjuna and Aditya and Helena were present in the middle of the group and do not forget their children.

Mama Elisabeth was moved by the arrival of all of them who had no news of them if they would come to break their doors together.

Delia immediately hugged her in-laws body,

"How's Ma, how's he doing, so healthy, right?" ask Delia.

"Delia was happy to hear it, and Delia wished and prayed that Mama would always be happy and healthy always" Delia said sincerely as she wiped her tears.

Arya without ba-bi-bu also directly hugged the body of her mother who had been almost two months no longer hugged her as usual. Arya really understands if her mother is not like she used to be who is always present when she needs her Mama's embrace. No words were spoken from their lips only tears that represented the feeling of longing and affection that they felt. Everything there was also late in the situation. They were sobbing in his cries. Each family member has a different way of life. Although from childhood we live together but over time they will find their new life partner to start a new life ark.

"Mama is very happy because you can attend and accompany Mama to open together, Mama hopes you are okay" said Mama Elisabeth who is still touched by the arrival of her family members.

Although there was sadness felt by him because of the absence of his two daughters but Mama Elisabeth hid her turmoil and grief.

"Eliana, Emilia Mama misses you so much, son, have you not been able to accept Mama's decision? Mama did all this for you guys too".

"Goodbye Auntie, Aunt has found to two Auntie children who are long lost" said Rina.

"Kok they're not invited to join Kita Aunty?" ask Dessy who saw that Arman and Ratna Antika Monata did not join them.

"It looks like they are busy and Aunt can't force Auntie's will to come with us even though Auntie wants their presence, so that you get to know and forget all the bad memories that have happened between you, Aunty really hopes for that to you and Aunty asks you to open your hearts to forgive each other and accept everything that exists" said Mama Elisabeth.

"If we can't make peace with the past maybe we won't be here with Mama, we do not want to make Mama sad anymore and life continues to go how stupid we as humans if we have to live in endless grudges" said Arya who is getting wiser in thinking.

"Alhamdulillah Thank You Many Children, Mama is very happy to hear it" said Mama Elisabeth.

The sound of the mosque bedug sounded and not long after the sound of the adhan from the mosque toa also sounded the sign that it had entered the time of breaking the fast.

"Assalamu alaikum" said aloud someone who said his greetings.

Their gaze was distracted by the baritone voice of someone walking from the direction of the door. Mama Elisabeth smiled towards those who had just come. Arman and Ratna were present in their midst though they were a little embarrassed and bowed their heads because they felt unworthy to be among them considering the dark story that had been between them all along. Firman and Karina were present to accompany them as their respective prospective partners.

"Come here, son, join your sister" said Mama Elisabeth who called her two twins.

Arman without a cue immediately embraced the body of his sister Arya and asked for a big mistake that he had done before even Arman now rested and knelt before his sister's feet, Ratna followed what a did

his twin sister too.

"I'm sorry that I've been wrong and because of me.." Arman's speech was cut because Arya immediately prevented it and helped Arman stand up.

"Don't be like this, if Brother is like this, it's the same as me not respecting and loving Brother, Every Human has a mistake and I and the others have forgiven Brother's mistake and it is not fitting that brother prostrate at my feet, prostrate to Allah SWT Kak to apologize to him and Arya can only say Welcome to the big family of Wiguna Albert Kim Said" said Arya who embraced his brother's body.

Although their father is different but they remain brothers until anytime. They were born from the womb of the same mother. Mama Elisabeth was so happy that her children were able to make peace and make up like any other family out there.

"Then we start breaking, because my stomach is hungry" said plain Hyuna who as usual if faced with a delicious meal.

Everyone smiled happily and immediately enjoyed their meal.

"Oy Delia introduced this Karina to your sister-in-law" said Mama Elisabeth who introduced Karina to others.

"Cantik Ma, fits with brother Arman" said Dessy who also spoke.

"Yes right you said Dessy, our future sister-in-law is beautiful well and hopefully you get married quickly" said Delia.

"Mama wants to convey to you and Mama apologizes if Mama invites and does not come to your house one by one, Insha Allah on Friday they will hold the marriage contract" mama Elisabeth said.

"Alhamdulillah then, the sooner the better loh Aunt" said Rina.

"Not only Arman who wants to get married but Ratna and Firman will also hold their wedding and according to the plan of Mama they will get married on the same day" said Mama Elisabeth.

"Means that there will be two couples who will get married and enjoy the beauty of the first night" said Hyuna.

"I hope you are all present at our happy event" said Ratna who still often lowered her head.

"God willing we will come to the show Brother but we are a big group is okay, right?" desyy.

"You just come to see RT se kampung please come" said Arman who smiled in response to a joke from Dessy.

They talked late into the night. They stayed at the main house and the next morning they returned to their respective homes. Happiness is not measured by the amount of material and wealth possessed but the extent to which you are able to make a sincere smile rise from the face of the person you care about.

Glad they could get together even though it was still minus Emilia and Eliana and their Husband and children.
