THE LOVE OF QONITA

Chapters 2. The Realization of Promise 1

Qonita was seen making a Video Call with someone. Yes, some days he routinely receives video calls from Oma Herni and of course there is always Ichy there.

The end of the VC is Qonita and the family are invited to the house of Oma Herni.

Sunday afternoon at the residence of the oma Herni, there have been various types of food and drinks to entertain Qonita and her family.

In just a matter of minutes, 3 children were already engrossed in playing together. They are Ichy, Fuad and Nabil.

Togetherness when first met was also created in this second meeting. The kids had fun playing with each other. They look very familiar, like each other, cheerful, as if they have been friends for a long time.

Oma Herni took the opportunity to ask Qonita. "Why are the four of you here, Qonita? Her father's children aren't coming?"

For a moment Qonita fell silent. "We separated Mom, 8 months ago. I just live with my two sons and Vivi, Mom. That's why only four of them came."

"Sorry, Son. Mom doesn't know. Qonita are you offended if Mom asks about your privacy? I want to get to know you up close" said Oma Herni.

"Sorry before, but it looks like Ichy's grandson likes you and your kids. Maybe you need to know, we haven't seen Ichy's happiness in a long time" continued Oma Herni.

"It's been gone for almost 2 years. Since her mother died, there was no joy in her, she became quiet and loner. I don't like new people. He is difficult to join the others" said Oma Herni.

"Until we finally saw Ichy full of smiles after joining Ayu, our ART, go home for a walk." With a look of face that shows the sadness of oma Herni tells about Ichy.

"It's okay, Mom. Just ask me what I want to ask. Just answer it's not hard, Mom. Unless you ask about the UN, maybe I need some time to answer... Heheh," ceringis Qonita.

"Haha... You could have. May I know why you split up, son? Because it must be difficult to raise 2 children alone, right?" oma Herni looked at Qonita meaningfully.

Qonita took a breath. "Mmm. cheated for the second time, ma'am. Our ship took off in the 3rd year of the wedding" said Qonita flatly.

"First incident, I'm pregnant with my 2nd child. The consideration of children is the main reason I forgive their father" continued Qonita.

"Two years later it was repeated. Our household felt a funeral home for me, there was only sadness in it. I was tired, very tired. I finally got divorced." This time Qonita showed her grim face.

"Thank God I work, Mom. The PNS salary may not be great, but it is enough for us. At least every month I definitely receive a salary." Qonita said softly.

Oma Herni nodded. "No intention of getting married again, son? You are still young. Children also need a father."

Qonita. "I'm not getting married again, Mom. Enough for me to raise my two children."

"Marriage will only take care of the feelings of others. Keep the feelings of her husband and extended family." Hearing Qonita's reply, oma Herni slightly scrunched her forehead.

"But no one will take care of our feelings. So why marry again? Just add to the load," continued Qonita.

Oma Herni smiled slightly. "Mother looked at Ichy, Qonita. Ichy's like losing his life spirit."

"Ichy's father has not married yet. We're tired of introducing a lot of women to their papi. But all were rejected. Ichy tends to be different from most children. He lost his mother" said Oma Herni.

"Sorry Mom, does Ichy's Papa love Mami too much Ichy? So it can't replace with another?" ask Qonita.

"It's nothing. Men can get married again. Unlike us women, many thought, many are considered. So, is Ichy not close to the papa?" telisik Qonita's.

Momentarily oma Herni took a breath in recalling the love story of her son long ago.

"We don't know that Iman's girlfriend is the son of our family's enemy. Stories from the past, son. Dispute between Papi Iman and Papi Mayang."

"None of the families agreed. Both against their relationship" continued oma Herni.

"Long enough time Faith shuts itself away from us. Until he finally agreed to marry our chosen woman, Ichy's mother, Jihan's name."

While remembering Jihan, Oma Herni shed her tears.

"Good female. We don't know if Iman is indifferent to Jihan. Faith carries out her duties as a husband. But there is no attention and love. Jihan was patient enough to face the Faith. No complaints until the end of his life."

The cry of Oma Herni grew stronger. Qonita was only able to pat Oma Herni on the hand to calm him down.

"Maybe the guilt of faith that made him not want to marry again. I don't know.we can only guess. Because Faith won't tell us."

"Faith is very dear to Ichy. They're very close, son. It's just that the work of Faith also sometimes takes up a lot of time. So there's not too much Ichy spending time with Faith."

"Not to mention if there's a job out of town. That's why Ichy stays here so often." Oma Herni tried to explain.

Qonita. " So Ichy and his papa don't live here, ma'am?"

"No, son, they lived in the house that Jehan and Iman occupied after marriage. Until now it remains there. Staying here only a few days depends on the work of Faith." Qonita nodded in understanding.

Long in the residence of Oma Herni, Qonita and her two children get closer to Ichy.

Ichy did not hesitate to indulge in Qonita. Qonita whose carrier is motherly and loving also warmly welcomed Ichy.

Oma Herni's eyes did not escape several times seeing Ichy in the arms of Qonita. Spreading a mother's love to her child.

By late afternoon Qonita was returning home. Oma Herni did not allow Qonita to use an online taxi. The driver will take them home.

"Thank you so much for the invitation and the banquet, Mom," Qonita told the Oma Herni.

"Sama-sama, darling, play here often, yes" replied Oma Herni.

"Fuad, Nabil salute oma and sister, son," Qonita told her children.

"Oma and Ichy's brother wait for his arrival again" said Orma Herni.

"Mother home, son. So good boy yes, honey. Same with Oma." Qonita hugs Ichy.

"Yes, Mother." Ichy smiled brightly.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"Waalaikum greetings, Mother." Still with a wide seyum while waving at Qonita, Vivi and her children.
