THE ANGEL I HURT

THE ANGEL I HURT
Fifth year



The company advanced rapidly under my and Dion's leadership. Angga who has also returned from abroad decided to join us as well. The three of us tried our best to advance the company.


"Papa is proud of you, son," said the frail man lying in his room.


I held his weak hand. I feel sad to see papa who is getting weaker and weaker just his condition. Almost 3 months papa's condition worsened. It was caused by a chronic illness. So far we have been trying to find the best treatment for papa but since the last month papa refused. He just asked to be treated at home.


Chaira and I decided to stay at my mom's house since papa's condition. I don't want to miss papa's progress every day. Umi had come to visit papa several times but never stayed overnight.


About my relationship with Chaira,,,


A year has passed since we moved into a new house all back to normal. Chaira remains my best wife even though she is increasingly preoccupied with various orders of clothes from customers who like and match her dress designs. Rosa, who is married to Toni, has maintained a good relationship with us. Chaira also embodies her delayed desire to make Rosa as her model. Toni who do not mind at all often helps a lot with babysitting at home. Toni was not a high school graduate so it was a bit difficult for her to get a job.


And I,, I don't want to lose to Chaira, I keep trying to be the best husband for her. Although often meet Rosa at home but we never feel clumsy or have any feelings. We agreed to never bring up the bad things that have passed.


Mrs Wati had died a few months ago in an accident. Since then Chaira himself asked Rosa and Toni and her son to occupy our old house with us as well.


Yes, that is the relationship between families that exists between us. None of us have ever spoken or spoken about the past. We encourage each other, support and help. Until one day our family came back to the scene. I have to let go of papa before we can make his wish come true.


Almost every day I visit the tomb of my father, which is close to my residential complex. Since my father died my mother decided to stay with us so as not to feel lonely. At first she asked us to stay with her at home but Chaira refused, saying all her customers knew our address. Mom accepted and finally gave up.


"Let's love we go home, let papa rest in peace" Chaira persuaded me that day was still silent in front of the papa's navel.


"how could papa be calm if even his last request until now we have not been able to realize" I said


Chaira's speechless. In his heart he felt guilty.


"I'm sorry, baby, a, a, me, me, me, "Chaira didn't continue because I gave her a cue to stop


"i didn't mean it so much, baby," I just realized my words might hurt her


"whatever happens we are equally trying yes, do not forget to also continue to pray and surrender to HIM" said I do not want to make my wife sad.


Chaira nodded.


We immediately left the tomb and went home.

"Dare, when are you going to give papa a grandchild??? Papa wants to hold a grandchild.remember son, you must immediately have children so that someone will replace you too. However, you are the sole heir of papa" almost every day papa reminds me of that


The word kept ringing in my ear.


"I'm sorry Darren pa" I thought

The fifth year of our marriage our home is still quiet from the sound of baby crying. Indeed, Chaira and I have visited many doctors and consulted and carried out the pregnancy program. But none of them succeeded. Our doctor said that if the condition of Chaira's weak uterus and the miscarriage she had experienced the previous time affects the possibility of Chaira being able to get pregnant again soon. The same thing has also been conveyed by other doctors who have handled Chaira.


"oh yes Chai, would you like to accompany your mother to your friend's house? Mama invited a friend of mama's whose daughter-in-law had just given birth. They are lucky that Chai has only been married a month already pregnant and now gives birth to a beautiful daughter. When did you love your mother grandchild??? Hunting old mama, loh, "this morning mama started again when we were having breakfast


"Mama can go alone, right? I didn't let Chaira leave the house today" I said trying to save Chaira from my mother's invitation


"you are yes Dare, mama tuh asked Chaira so who knows she quickly fell asleep, can get pregnant quickly. How many years have you been waiting for a grandchild" mama's murmur


"ma've ma, Darren just don't let Chaira go" I immediately left mama at the dinner table.


Chaira immediately caught up with me and brought me my bag.


"be careful, baby" he said


"Don't take heart of what mom says dear" I said


"dear, baby, Chai knows what you don't mean" Chaira replied softly


I waved my hand at my wife as the taxi that picked me up started walking. Chaira immediately went inside the house.


"Chai," call mama


"what's the matter ma?" ask Chaira politely


Mom then told him to sit next to her.


"Your mother wants to apologize to you, Mama didn't mean to insinuate or hurt your heart, son. You've been very kind to my mom. It's just that my mom wanted to have a grandchild even long before my dad died we wanted him so badly. Papa had been hunting away before the delivery of the baby grandson, "mama began to cry


" Ma, there's no need to apologize. Chai never thought that mama was insinuating because what mama said was true. It should be Chai who apologized ma,, Chaira also wanted to soon be able to get pregnant again and give mama a grandchild,, But Chai's efforts have not been successful ma. Chai, please be patient, ma, "Chaira started crying


"Mom knows son, but mama's afraid of being like papa, dying before seeing her granddaughter. Pity your papa son, "the cry of mama is becoming


"Ma,, tell Chaira, what should chaira do? Chai can't see you continue to grieve like this," Chaira felt awry


Mom looked at him inside. In her heart, she also understood that Chaira must be much more sad than she is. Mama also understands Chaira's daughter-in-law has also tried hard to be able to quickly give him offspring. Mama recalled how much her daughter-in-law struggled during her time as Darren's wife. The woman remained by her son's side, accepting and loving her son even though he had hurt her so much. There was a handful of guilt in her heart having said things that might have hurt her daughter-in-law several times.


" I'm sorry mommy, son, you shouldn't be suing you too much and making you feel guilty. Mama should have supported you and prayed for you." He hugged his daughter-in-law tightly.


"Mama pray you can soon have a baby yes" he said again


"Thank you ma" Chaira returned the embrace of mama


" I can't see my mother continue like this. I don't want my mom to experience the same thing as my dad. I have to do something" Inner Chaira
