It's been a week since the day Ricky told Habibah about the problems that caused her to leave, her mother looking cold to him and Nelly. Everyone in the house could see clearly the change in attitude of Karin's mother. It's just that no one dared to talk even if just asking why. Especially Ricky and Nelly, because they really understand the reason for what. And that day was the day that her mother would return home to her mother's hometown because she had left her job too long just to accompany her son and make sure that he recovered quickly. Well, even now Ricky has recovered even though he has not fully recovered, but it is enough for Ricky to return to his usual activities. He must quickly return to his place of work.
" Daughter, I'm going home today. Please take me to the airport, I've been here too long. Mother's job has long been abandoned, you've also been much better. So there's no reason for me to stay here" Karin's mother told Ricky.
" Good ma'am, I'll take you to the airport" Ricky replied briefly.
Not long after Karin's mother had finished packing, she immediately said goodbye to Syafi'i and greeted Ainun and Nelly. Nelly couldn't help but feel sorry for her mother-in-law.
" I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I promise to correct all the mistakes I have made and promise never to do it again" Nelly said, hugging her mother-in-law, her tears broke as a sign of her sincerity in regretting all her deeds.
" That's it.. Mom doesn't mind it anymore. You have realized where the mistake is. Now the most important thing is to take good care of your husband, do not let his condition deteriorate again. I have to leave now." said Karin's mother flat. After that Karin's mother immediately came out leaving Nelly who seemed unable to let go of her mother-in-law, because she still felt the cold attitude of her in-laws. But he could do nothing but follow her to her yard. Ricky drove his mother on his motorcycle, because his mother would not use a taxi to take him to the airport.
Along the way to the airport Karin's mother just silent, Ricky really did not understand what his mother was thinking. Because he himself had never seen his mother behave like that to him. When he arrived at the airport, his mother remained silent. Ricky really can't stand his mother's attitude. Before his mother entered the airport waiting room, Ricky pulled her mother's arm gently.
" Mother... Please don't make me a stranger like this Mom. I know my mistake, but please don't treat me like this" she said.
" What did you treat me like? I just don't want to make it difficult for you anymore. Right now I just want to go home and take care of work. I just want you to "take care of" your wife well. Never mind, I have to get in check right away now. You go home and be careful on the road." his mother still spoke in a very flat tone. Regarding the heart of Ricky saw the attitude of his mother, he also hugged his mother tightly seoalah he wanted to say if he missed his mother who always warm to him and nagged him if he made a mistake. And with a heavy heart, he finally let go of his embrace and looked at his mother's back away and lost behind the airport lounge door. With a carefree step Ricky stepped foot into his motorbike parked not far from the airport terminal. Ricky took out his bike with his heart broken.
While Zain looks happier there, because there are some cousins who are almost the same age as him, as well as the neighborhood children around his house used to play in the yard. So the mood of his days must be crowded. Plus Habibah's parents now have a two-story rented house with ten doors near his house. Increase the crowd around the residence. Dona who is still in high school helped him a lot to deliver customer orders. Sometimes if Laily is at home during the holidays will help him in making cakes or catering. His mother also often helped him, because now his mother is more at home like never before who is more in the garden. Now his father already has his own workers in his garden. That is why his mother now spends more time at home with Habibah and his grandchildren.
" Your efforts are pretty decent too huh bibah, quite fast growing. Moreover, efforts like this are still rare here, and even if there is still not as varied as your making. I just don't know if you have this kind of talent. Maybe because you live outside for too long, you are used to fighting alone until you feel like you do not know your own child. Even in your hardest moments we are not there for you. Forgive us son.." his mother was very moved by Habibah's struggle in living a life that was not easy from a teenager. There is guilt in his mother's heart, because somehow among his children only Habibah who did not get everything he should get like his other brothers. He was still a teenager when he had to make the choice to go to town and work there in addition to his time at school. While working in the palm oil company around his residence he lived in the camp did not want to stay at his house. After that until married and widowed he also prefers to live apart from his parents. Half of his life was spent by Habibah to live independently without relying on his parents. Even when he came back, he had his own business.
" It's okay ma.. It means that the Bible's life out there is not in vain, right? Bibah happy, bibah can point to all those who used to always humble Bibah,. now they can see if the person who is denigrated and underestimated is not a lousy loser." habibah answered by holding his mother's hand while smiling sweetly. He wanted to tell his mother that he had no problem with all the difficulties he had been facing and that he was fine.
" Mama is the rule of patience and the reason why the Bible can be as it is now. Mama is a Bibah idol, Bibah wants to have patience like you have. So just pray that Bibah can have a better personality in the future, and pray that the effort of this Bibah smoothly yes ma.." Habibah hugged her mother with warmth. And that was enough to make her mother completely moved by it.
A few days later, Habibah was struck by something she had never imagined and thought of at all. That is the arrival of someone he almost forgot, someone who always made him troubled. Someone he always wanted to avoid, only now he couldn't do it anymore. He couldn't run away from her or hide from her, inevitably he had to face her.
Why is he here? Since when is he here? How do I face it now? I have to what now?
