The Single Parent

Arif's Sadness

When I heard that Rinda had entered the operating room to run the plot, I was not calm in Papua, wanted to go back to Java immediately, but definitely did not get permission, because in two weeks I would go home, since then I have never been able to talk to Rinda, but Rinda is also at home not down to the hospital.

Rinda... What happened to you there, call last mother Rinda was aware of the influence of the drug but she was always crying and did not want to call me.

If you can feel it, I'm sad here too, I'm more unsettled here, I can't see you, can't talk to you.

Rinda... when you're like this I'm not near you, Rinda.

Remember when Rinda was depressed because of me, if she would just be quiet like that, Mother.

Then I opened my phone looking for Mom's number, I knew only Mom could give me information about Rinda, I called Mom long time not lifted, and finally raised too.

"Mom... How's Rinda?" I ask with worry.

"Rif you have to be patient, Rinda has not been able to accept the loss of your child" replied Mother.

"Rinda where is Mom now?" my many.

"Rinda is still in the hospital, later in the afternoon home, there is her mother waiting there" replied Mother.

"Mom...where does Vano go now?" I asked because I also thought about Vano.

"Vano's at home with me" Mother replied.

"Mom... how healthy is Rinda?" I kept asking because I was so worried.

"After Rinda's curret there is actually no problem but. because his heart has not been able to accept the loss of his son and feel unable to maintain his family, so yes so Rif, he wants to be alone, continue, I don't know how long she can accept all this" Mother said with a long sigh.

"Mom... Rinda's nitip arif is also Vano" I said.

"You don't think so, Rinda Vano is already our family too" Mother said.

"Mom... does Rinda still not want me to call?" my many.

"Now not Rif, let him find a way to accept this reality, you are patient, do not macem there, your wife like this you are there even with other women, he said, just see if you're like that" Mother advised me.

"Mom... I thought Arif was that easy to leave Rinda, my wife Rinda and the last woman of my life Mom" I replied

"So faithful men, don't be like your Father" said the mother in an angry tone.

Yes..may still be angry considering his past at betrayed Father.

"Already Ma'am, do not be angry with Arif, Arif is not the Father, even though Arif and the father are both men" I said.

"Had Mother, than I was angry with Arif, Arif here was confused thinking of Rinda, plus I was just angry" I said then hung up the phone.

The door was knocked from the outside.

"Come in" I said from inside the room above the bed.

The door opened, I saw Deny coming in.

"What's Den" I asked.

"Rif... You from earlier at work who seems to dream a lot, also not focused, what is it?" ask Deny

"Bingung Den, I want to go home" I replied.

"Yes can not Rif, if you go home not yet time off and the reason is not because of the death of your close family can not, you can be expelled from here" Deny said.

"I understand Den" I said.

"What's wrong?" asked Deni then sat down and laid down on the bed next to me.

"Rinda Den" I said I couldn't go on with my words.

"Why your wife Rinda?" ask Deny.

"She miscarried" I said and took a deep breath.

"Miscarriage?" asked Deny in shock then got up and sat on my bed mattress.

"Yes" I replied briefly.

"Innalillahi wainailaihi rojiun" Deny said.

"Rif, sincere, patient, will go home for the child again" Deny said encouraging me.

"It's not a matter of sincerity, patience and making Den again, but Rinda can't take it yet, Rinda won't take my call, said her mother felt guilty about not being able to look after our son" I explained.

"That's why my mind was not calm, I wanted to go home soon, thirteen more days is too long" I said.

"Prophe Rif, may your wife pass through her grief" Deny comforted.

"Oh yeah.. Have you eaten yet?" ask Deny..

"Not Den" I replied.

"Let's go out to eat" said Deny and I nodded my head, then get ready to go out mes.

We walk, because the place to eat is not far from mes, while walking we chat lightly.

"Rif.. Patient Rif, leave your wife to your family, I'm sure your family can handle Rinda" Deny said.

"Yes Den, but before I heard Rinda's voice I was still not calm" I said

"It's been a little bit patient to see you soon, before the thirteen-day Rif" Deny said

"yes Den, thank you" I said

Soon we arrived at a special dining place employees in our mes, yes. here it can be three meals from the company but very boring because of such a routine-that's it, I take a plate then rice and side dishes are also vegetables, do not forget to take drinks and also fruit, here is a buffet model, so want to take anything as long as there is still, as long as there is still, I sat next to Deny

"Rif..you are not excited that is why, but delicious" said Deny while watching me

"You still think about your wife?" asked Deny back, I nodded my head then took food with a little spoon for me to feed into my mouth, this food did not taste good

"Rif.. let's eat a lot, you have to be strong Rif, if you are sad this way, you go home how to care for your wife" Deny advice, right also that Deny, my mind

"Yes Den thank you" I said, then began to eat food in front of me with enthusiasm, after which we went out of the place to eat on foot to each mes, respectively, when I got to my bedroom

"Rif I go first" Deny said as she waved the way continuing to leave me

"Be careful Den, thank you for the advice" I said

In front of the room, I rogoh my pants pocket intending to take the key to my boarding door, after I got it I put the key in and I opened the door and then I went into the room I locked the door back and lay on the bed, I saw the clock on the wall of my room showing at nine o'clock at night, there was still seven o'clock at night, now Rinda must have gone home, I called mom first, my inner self

Then I picked up my phone at the table near my bed, I called my mom

tuut... tuut.tuut.the sound of the phone ringing, not also in the mother's lift, back I call mother.

tuut...

"Halo Arif" my mother's voice sounded from across the street, finally picking up my phone

"Mom... Rinda's home yet?" much

"It's Rif, you're in your room with his mother" replied the mother explaining

"How's the condition mom?" ask me for worry

"It's better, but sometimes it's still grim but it's not like it's in the hospital" said the mother

"Mom, how much it costs during the hospital, you pay for everything, Arif transfers tonight" I said.

"Rif.. don't rush, you will go home later" said the mother.

"What matters now is that Rinda's condition has to be as it was" said the mother

"Yes ma'am, I must understand how to overcome this condition of Rinda" I said

"How is Rinda doing?" much

"The theme was yesterday, there was two weeks or a week off" said the mother

"Keep Vano's school how'd bu, if Rinda did?" much

"Let's ask slowly to Rinda Rif" said the mother

"Mom... Rinda really doesn't want to take my call yet?" ask me to fret

"Let's tell me that Rinda is ready to talk to Rif" said the mother

"Thank you" I said, then hung up the phone

I tried to close my eyes but I couldn't, Rinda.
