The Single Parent
Recollecting
"Rin... I'm video call huh?" write Mas Arif
"Yes" I wrote in response to my husband's message
Anyway three days of not communicating I miss her, reading the contents of the message in her whats up when I was in the hospital made me feel peaceful, reading her whats up saying let's make it again, let's make it again, making me miss wanting to meet my husband, then my phone rang, my husband video call through whats up and I lift up, I see mas Arif is at work
"Darling... mostly crying huh? your eyes are so swollen up like that" said Mas Arif with a sad face, seeing my husband my eyes glazed back.
"Pardon Rinda, yes, our son." I said sobbing.
"Honey, do not blame yourself and everything has been outlined by God, do not cry baby" comforted Mas Arif
"Yes Mas" I said, wiping my tears and smiling at my husband.
"It hurts now?" ask Mas Arif.
"It's not so good" I replied.
"Rin... if you want to go out to buy what is it so go out, take transportation online, the money is still right?" ask husband.
"Yes still Mas" I said, looking at my husband's face on the screen.
"Why see me like this?" ask Mas Arif.
"What's wrong, Rinda misses Mas Arif" I said.
"I'm also Missing dear" said Mas Arif.
"Rin... Vano is at home with Mom, maybe going out alone is okay Rin, enjoy your days" said Mas Arif.
"Yes, sometime" I said.
"Had Rin, I went to work, don't cry anymore yeah, smile come on" said Mas Arif, then I smiled and the video call was turned off.
After I finished calling Mas Arif I walked out of the bedroom, I saw Vano sleeping on the carpet holding a TV remote, and Mom sitting in the living room chair, I finally approached Mom.
"Rin.. have you woken up?" ask Mother.
"Yes Ma'am" I said with a more cheerful face.
"You've been excited today" Mother said as she looked at my face, then I sat down on the chair in front of Mother.
"Yes Ma... Rinda tried to make peace with Rinda, learn to accept the loss of my son" I said.
"Good Rin. stay excited, stay optimistic to be able to have more children, do not forget to pray a lot and pray at night?" mother's Advice.
"Yes Ma'am, Rinda has always learned to be strong through Rinda's life" I said excitedly.
"Mom.I want to get out, get bored at home" I said.
"Where are you going?" ask Mother.
"You go to the city" I replied.
"Your condition is good? there will be nothing on the road, rest first, you just can't walk like before, definitely not yet delicious" said the mother began to nag.
"Mom... Mom, just for a second" I said.
"No, I'm not letting you, rather than having anything on the road, you have to recover first and then you can get out of the house" said Mother, I just heard it without refuting.
As if someone kissed me, I opened my eyes and found that Vano was already beside me.
"Mother... don't eat?" ask Vano
"Yes dear" I said as I kissed Vano and hugged her, child is everything, if I don't have Vano right now what I am, my life would be lonely.
"Let's eat Vano, Mommy will wake up now" I said then I got up from the bed sitting on the edge of the bed and yawn actually still very sleepy, Vano had gone down first and ran away from me, leaving me, then I went out of the room to the dining table.
"Mom... have you gone home?" I'll take my bro to Mother-in-law.
"Yes Rin, have you contacted Arif?" ask Mother-in-law.
"Yes, ma'am, just now" I said as I sat on the dining table chair.
"Rin. let's eat" said my mother.
"Mom...cook what?" my many.
"Same fried spinach vegetable cooking catfish, chicken, know this tempe Rin?" answer Mother.
"Vano likes spinach?" ask my mother-in-law
"Like nek, Vano eats alone" Vano said
"Smart child" said grandma, then I took rice for Vano as well as for me, as did my Mother-in-law and Mother-in-law, we ate together.
"Mom... stay here longer, so rame this house" said Mother-in-law on the sidelines we ate.
"Well, how's Mom with her dad Rinda over there" Mother said
"Mom... go home and wait for Rinda to start working? I'm here to help Rinda a lot" I said.
"Yes Rin" said Mother.
"How did you call Arif?" asked my mother-in-law, I smiled at my mother-in-law's question, confused to answer what cooking Mas Arif said he wanted to make again, hadew...
"Kok was silent and smiled Rin?" ask Mother-in-law.
"Not to be answered, the important thing is that you know you have made peace, have mutually mengikhlaskan the departure of your child" said the mother with a smile.
"Isn't that so Mom?" ask my mother-in-law to my mother.
"Yes Ma'am, Rinda from yesterday just cry and sleep so continuously, just this time see his smile, already Rin. patient, sincerely pray a lot to God yes" Mother's advice.
"Mom... later in the afternoon let me cook Mom" said my mother-in-law.

"Yes Vano" said the mother-in-law smilingly looking at Vano
"Vano.. Vano's sister is no longer there, Vano prayed a lot so that Vano soon be given another sister" said Mother.
"Yes Mbah uti, Mommy. don't be sad" said Vano.
"Yes Vano... Mother is smiling, right? forgive mom yesterday to not take care of you" I said.
After lunch, my mother-in-law helped my mother clean the table and do the dishes and so on, seeing them my heart felt peaceful, maybe when they met in her youth, she said, they will be friends until old age.
