The Sacrifice of Nayra
Rama Regretted
The greatest sacrifice is when we sincerely give happiness to others without thinking about our own happiness....
Nayra_
-----------------------------------
For some reason Rama's heart was wounded to see Nayra's tears. Rama regretted that he had made Nayra cry. Rama stared at the dining table full of already cold food.
'Is all this Nayra who cooked it for me?'
'Oh God.. Nayra must have waited for me a long time until she fell asleep here'
Rama took his foot to Nayra's room. Rama could hear Nayra's sobs behind the door of his room. Rama gave himself to knock on the door.
Geck.. Geck.. Geck...
Nayra stopped her crying as soon as she heard a knock on the door of her room.
"Nayra please open the door Nay!" rama said from behind the door.
But there is no word from Nayra. Nayra is still hurting. He refused to open the door for Rama.
Geck.. Geck.. Geck...
"Nayra. Please forgive me Nay! I can explain why I'm late. But open the door, Nay! I beg!"
Nayra did not open the door.
"Nayra let's eat Nay! You must not have eaten, right? I haven't eaten either"
'What? Rama hasn't eaten yet?' inner Nayra.
Nayra wiped her tears and opened the door.
Chequek!
Rama was relieved that Nayra was willing to open the door. Nayra looked at Rama sharply.
"Has Rama not eaten yet? Or is that just an excuse for me to open the door?"
"I haven't eaten Nay. You probably haven't eaten either, right? Let's eat together"
Nayra set her foot on the table followed by Rama.
"The food is cold. Let me get hot first"
Nayra heated the food for a while and then served it back at the dinner table. After that Nayra took some food and sat a bit away from Rama.
'Why is Nayra sitting there? Is he still mad at me?' Rama looked at Nayra who started feeding food into her mouth.
They both ate without a sound. Only the sound of spoons and plates clashing. Sometimes Rama glanced at Nayra who had just been silent.
After eating Nayra stood up to return to his room, but Rama stopped Nayra's steps.
"Wait for Nay! I'd like to talk to you for a second"
"Sorry, I'm sleepy. I'll go to sleep first"
Nayra went to her room. Rama was disappointed that Nayra would not listen to his explanation. Rama also cleaned the dining table and then went upstairs to his room.
After changing clothes, Rama dropped his body on the bed. Rama stared at the ceiling of his room. Suddenly the shadow of Nayra's crying face haunted her mind.
'Nayra, I'm sorry. I made you cry...'
Rama kept thinking about Nayra until she fell asleep in her sleep.
***
Early in the morning Nayra had taken a shower and changed clothes. He put his clothes in his little suitcase. Nayra looked at Kyara who was still sleeping soundly. Nayra kissed both Kyara's cheeks and forehead.
"Darling, Mama go first.. Sorry Mama for having to leave you" said Nayra as she shed her tears.
Nayra wiped her tears and carried the suitcase out of the room.
"Mom Nayra, where are you going?" ask Santi.
"I want to go home, Mother. I miss my mom"
"Go home? Did Miss Nayra fight with Mr Rama last night?"
Nayra stared hard at Santi.
"Sorry Mom. I've been presumptuous" said Santi while lowering his face.
Suddenly, Nayra hugged Santi. Santi's mother was surprised because Nayra did not usually hug her like that. Nayra was crying in Santi's arms.
"Bu Nayra why Ma'am?"
"I'm not strong anymore. I'm just gonna get the hell out of here"
"Patience to Mom" Santi sighed with tears.
Santi stroked Nayra's back to calm her down. In his heart, Santi's mother approved of the move Nayra took to leave Rama. Because all this time Santi pity Nayra. Let Rama regret later after losing Nayra.
"I picked Kyara up Ma'am" Nayra let go of her embrace.
"Why don't you just bring non Kyara. He's gonna cry for Bu Nayra"
"Actually I also want to bring Kyara Mbak. But I'm afraid Mas Rama will be angry if I take Kyara away"
"Good Mom"
Nayra also approached Bi Surti who was cooking in the kitchen. Bi Surti was shocked to see Nayra who had been dressed up so early in the morning.
"Bi Surti, Nayra said yes Bi"
"Bu Nayra where are you going so early in the morning?"
"Nayra wants to go home to Bi village. Nayra kangen same mom. Nayra hasn't been home in a long time"
Bi Surti's eyes glazed over seeing Nayra. Bi Surti hugged Nayra tightly.
"Bu Nayra is patient, Mom! Aunt send greetings to Ms. Aini"
"Yes Bi"
Nayra took off her embrace.
"Nayra this is Bi. Please give it to Mas Rama" Nayra said, handing Bi Surti a letter.
"Yes Bu Nayra. I'll tell you later. Be careful, Mom!"
"Yes Bi, assalamu'alaikum"
"Wa'alaikumsalam"
Nayra came out and said goodbye to Mang Dudung who was cleaning the yard. After that Nayra got into her car and drove the car slowly leaving the house.
***
Geck.. Geck.. Geck...
"Pak Rama, breakfast is ready sir" cried Bi Surti.
Rama was shocked when he heard Bi Surti's scream. Because Nayra usually calls him for breakfast. Rama opened the door immediately.
Chequek!
"Bi Surti's? Nayra where's Bi?"
"Bu Nayra's gone sir"
"Go? Where's Bi going?"
"Say he wants to go home, sir. Bu Nayra said this to Mr Rama"
"Back home?"
Bi Surti delivers a letter to Rama. Rama greeted him and opened it. Rama read the letter.
🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
Mas Rama, Nayra go first Mas...
Forgive Nayra if all this time Nayra can not be a good wife for Mas Rama.
Nayra knew that at any time Nayra would never be able to replace the position of Aisha's mother in the heart of Mas Rama.
So Nayra please let go of Nayra Mas, Nayra is no longer strong...
Because no matter how hard Nayra tried, Nayra still could not melt the heart of Mas Rama...
Please take good care of Kyara!
Nayras.
🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
Rama's chest felt tight reading the contents of the letter. There was a grain of clear crystal that fell from his eye patch. Rama falls and weeps for Nayra's departure. Bi Surti came crying watching the scene before his eyes.
Rama regretted his actions so far that had wasted a wife as good as Nayra. Rama also regretted making Nayra shed tears. And Rama also regretted making Nayra leave him and Kyara.
