The Heart (Nadira)

Episodes 118

Alby woke up when the sun was already starting to show its light. Alby blinked his eyes adjusting the incoming light. Alby immediately rushed into the bathroom, cleaning himself up. After that, Alby went out of the room and saw the whole house that looked relaxed. There was only Mama Ratna sitting in the television room.

" Sir.."

Mama Ratna turned to the source of the voice. Alby looked better than yesterday when he came to the house.

" Wake up, son. You eat first, right? Let mama be ready."

The night Ratna prepares food for Alby. Alby sat down at the dinner table and ate his food. Alby hasn't been able to eat well since Dira left his life. And morning sickness experienced also contributed in lowering the na*fsu Alby eating. Until the fourth month, then Alby really do not feel it anymore.

" Al, did you eat it?"

Mama Ratna who saw Alby had finished his meal also looked with a concerned look.

" Al was full, Ma."

Alby's not entirely lying, because since Dira left, Alby just ate to just stuff his stomach.

" Al, Mama know, it's all heavy for you. But one thing my mother asked for. Don't torture yourself. This is not the way, for you to regret what you did, Son."

Mama Ratna sighed, and paused her words.

" What you've done has disappointed us all. Especially Dira. But you should have accepted all of this. You who want this to happen, then you also have to bear the risk. Relakan Dira happy out there, there is Syifa who is our responsibility now. Syifa is sick at the moment. You hurt her more, son."

" Son, soul mate, death, meeting, separation are all arranged by the Creator. If you are currently separated from Dira, maybe you are no longer a match. If you are a match, God will bring you back together. Whether you or Dira avoid, you will unite."

Alby's tears trickled down, in the arms of the woman who had given birth to him. Spilled all the tightness in the stool so far. While Mama Ratna who saw her son who was in a floating point in his life was only able to strengthen.

" Thank you, Ma. Even though Alby let you all down, Mama never hated Alby."

Alby said as he broke his mother's embrace.

" You're Mama's kids. When you're happy, you're happy, when you're sad, no matter how you feel, son. Now get your life back. Make this a very meaningful lesson in your life. Mama will always pray, may Allah always protect, and guide you."

Alby nodded, and before long, Alby got a call from his in-laws, who asked Alby to come to the hospital. Alby rushed to the hospital. On the way, Alby pondered all of his mother's words.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Alby went straight to Syifa's room. At the door of Syifa's ward and at her sight Syifa and her mother were talking. When Alby came in, Mama Yuni was ready to go home. Mama Yuni wanted to give time to the two of them.

" How are you doing, Fa?"

" It's better."

After that, both Syifa and Alby were silent to each other. Syifa occasionally turned her eyes out the window, while Alby was silent, and occasionally looked towards Syifa.

"Al, I know everything."
