The Limits of Patience for a Wife

The Hungry Heart

In the morning Ambar went straight to the place where his son was. Aditya who heard her mother's whereabouts was very happy, for a few days he kept thinking about his mother alone in his apartment, not only that it has been almost a week his mother did not see him when all this time his mother always came twice a week to meet him.

"Mom, you're okay, right?" aditya said while holding his mother's hand and kneeling, especially when he saw her mother's pale face. His feelings were immediately unfavourable, guilt immediately attacked him for leaving his mother in his old age. It was her mother who took care of her alone.

"Aditya, what are you doing. Come sit! I have happy news that I want to tell you," said Ambar made Aditya nodded and sat in the chair in front of his mother.

"Before you break the news, please answer my question. You're okay, right?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, don't worry. Sorry, I didn't come because I was sick, I had a fever. But you don't have to worry, I got a little nurse, and it makes me grateful to be sick" Ambar said with a smile on his face.

"Children?" tanya Gantara was confused to hear his mother's words.

"Yes, during these few days the mother was sick, there was Nabila who took care of the mother. Nabila even stayed at home and just left yesterday, for several days he stayed with his mother. I'm very happy, even though I'm sick, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I just didn't want to make you anxious about my condition" Ambar explained, making Aditya feel relieved, it turns out that when sick his daughter who had been wasted was taking care of her mother.

"Mom, does Jingga know if Nabila met Mom and accompanied Mom when she was sick?" ask Aditya again who does not want to find trouble and does not want if until his mother takes Nabila secretly to their apartment.

"Of course, son. I will not violate what you say, Gantara himself who drove Nabila to the mother's apartment and he himself also picked her up. I don't know whether Orange allows it or not, but I definitely think if Gantara has allowed it, Orange will also allow his daughter."

"Is it only Nabila who came? I mean the one staying at home?" ask Aditya because if only Nabila where maybe Nabila can take care of his sick mother, while they already have no one else. Aditya currently only has Nabila and also his mother in this world, he does not know who his real father is, his mother never discussed it and he never asked.

"It seems Gantara has not been so trusting with his mother, so he brought two servants to accompany Nabila while staying at our apartment. I don't know that because he doesn't believe in mom or wants to make it easy for Nabila while staying because both are very useful, they clean and cook for mom and Nabila."

Hearing that Aditya nodded, indeed it should not be just Nabila who came because if only Nabila who would cook for them, who would take care of her mother. I was always small to do it alone.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I can't be next to Mom when Mom needs me, I hope my sentence ends quickly and I can take care of Mom" Aditya said, recalling that the sentence is still very long, he was afraid that if he could not take care of his mother in old age, he was afraid that he could not make his mother happy for the rest of his life.

Hearing that Ambar just remembered the happy news that wanted to be conveyed to his son. Ambar clasped Aditya's hand sitting in front of him.

"Mom will always be waiting for you until when you come out and we will start our new life. I have good news for you, Gantara told mom if we just wait for you to get out of prison for 1 more year. Gantara has taken care of everything," said Ambar makes Aditya also feel surprised, why his prison term is only one year but there are still a few more years.

"But how can you, Mom?" tanyakanya.

"Mom doesn't know either, I don't understand. But, what Gantara clearly said is that if you only wait for one more year and I hope you can spend the last remnants of your life with you, we can be happy together. I'll leave in peace if I see you happy, son," said Ambar rubbing his son's cheeks overgrown with fine feathers.

Hearing that there is a sense of pleasure and happiness peaking in the heart of Aditya, also mixed with the taste of haru. He looked at the officer not far from them. There was an officer sitting in one of the rooms that had a glass partition with the room where he and his mother were, a special room for visitors who want to visit their families who are in the prison.

"Excuse me, Sir. Did I really get a cut of the prison term?" aditya asked to make sure, he was afraid if his mother was misinformed and made him expect a lot and justify what his mother said.

After the officer checked on his laptop, he nodded.

"Yes, Sir. You get a cut of the prison term and all of it is taken care of by the lawyer on the part of the person who sued you. You can be free 9 more months," said the officer mentioned the date of Aditya's freedom from the prison and exactly 9 months from now.

Aditya bowed in gratitude, he did not expect that he would be out in 9 months because he thought he would stay longer in that place.

Aditya who had received information directly back to his mother, he immediately hugged his mother and gave thanks. Her mother was happy too.

"Is that all true, son?" his tanyanya made Aditya nod.

"Yes, Mom. Wait for me in 9 months, I will come and make Mom happy," Aditya said to make Ambar feel very happy, it turns out Gantara's heart is very good.

After meeting his son, Ambar decided to return to visit the Gantara residence. Previously he called Gantara directly to meet Jingga. Gantara allowed him to visit his house, Gantara also called Jingga to inform him that Ambar was heading to their residence with the intention to apologize.

Orange will welcome him by encouraging him, preparing his heart to meet Ambar again. For a very long time he had not met his former father-in-law, all this time he only heard stories from Gantara and also Nabila, hopefully when he met him he could be calm.

Coincidentally Mita also came to visit the baby orange. Orange also said what was just said by Gantara, if Ambar will come to make Mita also wait for his arrival.
