THE MENTARI FOR ESTUARY SEASON 2

CHAPTER 55, DISAPPEARANCE OF THE ANGEL (2)

Riana walked between her broken heart, and her tears that had not stopped flowing since the news first received her. The girl had lost consciousness as well before Muara finally came to pick her up. And now the man was next to her, accompanying her with a feeling that was also broken; he could not imagine how Mas Jeremy – husband Yura was feeling, right now.

“Mas J, sorry..” said Muara slowly while hugging the man.

“Thanks, Ra...” he said weakly as he almost fell again. The estuary hurriedly held the body of her best friend, and led her towards the chair.

“Adam where, mas?” asked Riana to divert.

“Adam is with her grandmother, in the playroom... Would you like to see him?” ask Jeremy.

“Iya, did not meet Adam first, later the others followed here mas. Ra, I just stayed back,” said Riana while shrinking her tears slowly. It's nothing, he'll be facing off against Yura and Jeremy's young son, who's definitely not ready for all this.

“Iya Ri, be careful,” says Muara. Riana just nodded, as soon as she left, she wanted to meet Adam who was also quite clingy with her.

“Aunty Ana, Mommy, why don't you come out, huh? Oma said, mommy is sleeping again, but why not wake up? This is already afternoon.” booze Adam while struggling spoiled in the arms of Riana. Yes, Riana's name is too difficult for a boy who just can say the letter “R”, so he called the girl with the name Aunty Ana only, to make it easier. Riana rubbed her eyes that were still caving the river. He was so sorry for Adam who at this small age, had to face a reality that might not be accepted by the common sense of even adults.

“Aunty, Adam want to see mommy...” whine. Riana surprised. O GOD, what should he do?

“Ri, Where's Adam?” ask Jeremy. Thank goodness her father came.

“This is mas, no longer on the bench. Why?” ask Riana.

“You didn't take her to the cafeteria, she had to have lunch..” Jeremy said.

“It is better to take care of the body of Mbak Yura first, mas, let Adam I handle.” said Yura offers help.

“Lo no hassle ta?” ask Jeremy.

“No, same as who you are. BTW, what can and cannot be eaten with Adam?” ask Riana. She had never been a child, so she was a little scared.

“Alhamdulillah, Adam can eat everything. But do not give ice cream yes, because he just recovered from a cold,” said Jeremy. Riana nodded. He immediately took the little boy into his cradle, and went to the hospital cafeteria to eat.

“Aunty Ana, Adam want to see mommy..” whine again. His bent rice only touched a little, while Riana only bought a few donuts and coffee as a stomach booster.

“Later, yes, maem first his Adam, later we see mommy...” persuade Riana.

“No, Adam wants mommy!” whining that little boy. It seemed like she was starting to prepare to cry as well. Riana hurriedly hugged Adam, and rubbed her head.

“Ssssttt, son of sholeh, son of pinter, Adam maem this first, spent, continue later when it is up, we see mommy, yes. Kan mommy again sick dear, so can not be with Adam then, now, Adam same Aunty Ana first, no papa huh?” wheedled. Although initially reluctant, but once Riana lures him with a bar of chocolate, the boy will recede as well, but his lips remain pursed, funny, deh, make nyubit want.

“Eh, smile first, dong, don't frown so,” persuade Riana while feeding the bento rice that is only one more feed.

“No smile, Aunty Ana lies again, later if the maem is finished not so see mommy again,” protest.

“Iya dear, this time really, aunty promise. But smile first, same after eating, this is one more, baby you know.” said Riana. Adam hurriedly nodded and smiled. Anxious Riana reflexively kissed the boy's chubby cheeks, and continued to bribe him before finally inviting him to meet her mother later.

“Daddy, the mommy diapain?”

“Daddy, how mommy landfilled? Mommy why?” the plain questions raised by Adam in the funeral procession further triggered the cries of the mourners present. Even Riana who was unable to stand and see the event was forced to be supported by Muara.

“Honey, strong dear...” the door. Estuary is not not clueless about the condition of this girl who always can not hear about the dead, or watch the funeral procession like this, because automatically her memory will drift in the past few years, or even in the past, when his mother died.

“Mommyyyy!” adam's screams shocked everyone who was solemnly doing’a. He wept, roared, and drew the hands of the gravediggers who had to stop their work.

“Do not close, it's my mommy!” his screams. Jeremy ran towards the gravediggers, pulling Adam forcibly into his carrier.

“Daddy, do something, mommy is gone! Mommy closed on that land!” his screams are uncontrollable. He kicked, thrashing from the sling of the father. Her crying was deafening, so Jeremy was dizzy and so went along uncontrollably.

“Adam, stop!” his screams. Instantly the boy fell silent. But the sound is still heard. Riana ran, then took Adam from her father's arms.

“Don't yell in his ear once again, or you'll regret watching his growth and development being disturbed because of your actions.” he said coldly while bringing Adam passed away from his father who may also still be in shock – wonder himself for what he did to the son. This time for the first time, he snapped at the son. And as soon as he regained consciousness, he hurriedly chased after Riana to pick up his son.

“Ri, wait! Where's adam?” tanyakanya.

“Sleep,” replied Riana indifferently while pointing at Adam who was in Muara's sling.

“Gue... I want to take him home,” Jeremy said carefully.

“Dedek baby is still in the incubator, Ri, said the doctor if tomorrow all is okay can be exited him.” said Jeremy.

“Hopefully all soon improve yes. If so, I bring Adam back, he'll sleep at my hostel. Relax, my room has AC kok,” said Riana who had caught a worried look from Jeremy; maybe Adam is the type of child who can not sleep if not in the air-conditioned room.

“Haha, no Ri, I'm just afraid Adam took aja...” said Jeremy is not good. Riana simply shook her head; asserting that she had no hassles at all at Adam's cheek.

“Then I leave Adam until everything is in order. BTW, hold this yes, make Adam's pocket money while there.” said Jeremy while handing a platinum credit card to the palm of Riana.

“Heh, what the fuck? If you only buy Adam ice cream or chocolate, I can still mas,” said Riana while pushing the credit card back to the one that had.

“Yes just in case, Ri, please, tipped, this is usually held the same mbakmu. Do you know the pin?” ask Jeremy again.

“Ya know anyway, ever asked please the same Mbak Yura buy what it was, forget me. Haven't changed the pin yet?” ask Riana.

“Not yet... Yes, back and forth, it was night. Ujan.” says Jeremy.

“Iya mas, I say yes. The strong, the sincere..” said Riana while patting her best friend's husband's shoulder.

“Thanks, Ri, ti-ati. BTW game fat man Adam, looks like Muara objected,” Jeremy grimaces. Riana turned her gaze to her lover, then immediately took Adam from her sling.

“We say goodbye, mas, assalamu’alaikum.” said Muara while greeting Jeremy's hand.

“Waalaikum greetings, be careful.

“If I'd known

How beautiful it is when you are beside me

If only I'd known

How quickly you have to leave my life

I won't hesitate, I won't doubt

'I have been married since the beginning of a love story

But now you are gone

I am still in love with your shadow

But I'm not looking for a replacement

So that you there know I'm the best husband” (Kahitna – Best Husband).

The song belongs to the legendary but romantic om-om that dabbles syahdu; fulfilling the silence that colors the journey of Riana and Muara to the place of the girl's boarding house. Adam was still asleep, leaning on the bag in the back seat.

“Yang,” call Riana suddenly.

“Temple... What dear?” reply Muara while staying focused on driving.

“If after we marry it happens like this, how?” tanyanya.

“What happened?” The estuary does not understand.

“It happened as we just saw, also the one we just heard in this song. What are you going to..”

“Ssssttt The mouth tightly closed Riana's lips with her finger.

“I know I can't promise to stay loyal to you, I mean gini... You yourself have seen the phenomenon, right, your father, father Hanum, all married again after the death of his wife.

“What Mas J later will be like that?” ask Riana.

“I don't know for sure, but I try to keep loyal to you, life or death, I love you, Ri..” said Muara sincerely. Riana smiled. Honestly there is as much doubt in his heart, what else if inget song that he just heard, in it there is a sentence/bait that disperse expectations, especially the expectations of the women :

“I dream, you say you are willing, if there is an angel of your substitute.” what is the nature of a man to be unfaithful? Is a man never enough with just one woman? Hmm, I don't know, this is all still a mystery. And this question is just as difficult to find the answer, such as the question, when can the author have a slim body? Hehe. But, good-bye, Yura. Thank you for fighting, you are the best wife and mother for your husband and your two children. Your baby does not know you, never sees your face, but over time, he will recognize and remember you as a hero; a hero who lets him be born and grow, and then pursues his dreams later. Once again, good-bye, Yura.
