The Third Match.

Tears of Regret.

"Mas, Mr. Rose called earlier, he said we were told to pick up Mr" Diah said as they were on their way to the hospital.

"Okay.." answered Marsel briefly. He was focused on driving.

The car that only fit 4 people was walking towards the residence of Mr. Renggono.

*******

"Assalamualaikum.." at the Rose house early in the morning there were guests.

"Waalaikumsalam.." The daughter of blonde hair, blue eyes, pale white skin, who was fully dressed in a red and white uniform opened the door. It is; syifa.

"Daddy... Brother, Freddy.." cried Syifa carved a smile, it turns out his guests brother and his Daddy.

"Darling... Your mother's father is still in the hospital, you leave with us yes" Alfred rubbed his daughter's cheeks gently.

Syifa seemed to think. "But... Daddy has permission with Daddy Mother yet?"

"That's why Daddy's here" Alfredo assured his daughter.

"Syifa, you should go with me" Freddy added. Freddy and Syifa happened to be one school.

"Who's coming? The fa?" bhanu asked the handsome-faced child Blaster Rose and Adit exclaimed from the dining table, Bhanu was still spending breakfast.

"Sister Fredy, Brother Bhanu," Syifa spoke loudly because the distance of the living room to the dining table was a bit far.

Hearing Freddy's name, Bhanu rushed out to him. Bhanu and Freddy were one school even they were one class together 4th grade Elementary.

"You Dy," said Bhanu.

"Yes, shory Nu. early in the morning we've come here," Freddy shyly.

"It's okay Dy," Bhanu patted his theme's shoulder.

"Come in, Om," Bhanu seemed to maturely let her guests in because Syifa was just asking her to chat outside the door.

"Thank you." the man who looked a lot like Syfa sat down immediately.

"Sir Bhanu, we want to pick up Syifa you should be with us," asked Alfred now already have his own car.

"Actually we will be among Om drivers, but it's okay with Om," Bhanu accepted Freddy's offer.

"Assynoltom..." The woman's voice from outside turned.

"Goddessalam..."

"Mama... Papa's..." Syifa ran over to Diah and Marsel and then grabbed Diah's stomach. Apparently Diah before picking up Mr. Renggono to meet his daughter first.

"You're leaving, baby..." Diah raised her daughter's body and carried it. "Uhs. It's hard" Diah dropped Syifa back after kissing her left right cheek.

"Mama.. there's Brother Fredy" Lita pulls Diah's hand towards the living room where Freddy sits in the Marsel.

"Auntie... Um..." Freddy and Bhanu immediately approached Marsel and Diah kissed the back of his hand.

"Smart kid," Marsel patted Bhanu and Freddy's shoulders alternately.

"Good morning, Marsel... Diah," Alfred shook Marsel's hand.

"Morning." replied Marsel, they then talked for a while, Diah asked Gita and the little guy.

"That's Diah. Therefore, I have not had time to visit Mom, because the little one is not healthy," Alfred wanted to visit with Gita his wife but Gita waited for her second child's fever to go down first.

"It's okay, Fred, I hope your son gets well soon,"

"I think it's noon, we say goodbye to Cell," Alfredo folded his shirt sleeves a little look at the watch and finally retired.

"Syifa left Ma, Pa," he said.

"Be careful dear. oh yes, Mama make this stock, later in divide by three yes, a lot of bread," Diah gave the bread box of her daughter's head.

"Sir, I'll find a nurse for Mom so you don't bother" Marsel said after the car drove to the hospital.

"No," refused Renggono quickly.

"Why Sir?" ask Marsel.

"Adit also said so, but you do not want, you want to take care of your own mother, do not need to find a nurse," Mr. Renggono excited.

"If you want to find an aunt who cleans the house; you don't mind" Mr. Renggono said at length.

"But you feel sorry if you have to take care of Mom, later you are tired," Diah looked back at the old face of Mr. Renggono could not bear.

"Diah.. nurut what you said," Mr. Renggono had other plans.

"But... Don't sell vegetables anymore, please sir" Marsel added.

"Alright.." Renggono gave in.

********

6 months later, during that time, Mr. Renggono took care of his wife sincerely, bathed, until replacing the pampres even Renggono who did.

Diah and Roses wanted to help were not allowed. While there's an aunt who helps do the homework.

Pak Renggono's hard work does not deny the results. Ms. Reny can already walk even using a cane, even can shower himself.

"This is his shirt" Mr. Renggono chose a comfortable negligee for his wife after Miss Reny finished her bath.

"Thank you sir," Miss Reny looked at her husband with tears without Mr. Renggono noticing, immediately Reny arranged it with a finger and then looked down.

The 60-year-old was eye-catching. "What the hell is Mom? Kok use thank you," Renggono felt surprised never during this time his wife said the word.

"Thank you for..."

The woman who now looks more white and shining because she was never exposed to sunscreen was aware of her mistakes all along. But his tongue was too faint to speak.

The care, sacrifice and love of her husband made her heart feel touched by it.

"Through my waist, it feels.." Mr. Renggono held his sore waist and then sat on the mattress.

Staring at her husband who looked tired again Crisp heart screamed, her chest felt tight.

"I'm sorry" Miss Reny kissed the soles of her husband's feet on the bed, after wearing a negligee. Miss Crispy crying a mouthful.

"Well what's up to Bu" Renggono's sir woke his wife's shoulder. But Reny did not want to wake up and there was no answer other than the crying of his wife who was getting louder.

"Mom, get up" Mr. Renggono also shifted his seat until there was no distance. Then again raised the head of his wife who was still at home hugging the soles of his feet with a trembling body.

"Why?" pak Renggono holding onto Reny's shoulder looked at the sparkling eyes of the wife was full of regret.

"I'm..." Crisp looked down as if unable to look into her husband's eyes her shame dominated.

"Mom" Renggono put his hand on the nape of his wife and held her in his chest.

"Huuu. I'm sorry sir, I. wife is useless, divorce me, all this time I can only hurt you, trouble you. Huuu..."

"Mom.take care" the rough palm gently stroked the wife's back.

"Mom... You just want, at this age of our twilight, we can live quietly, no longer ambitious about the world, we bring ourselves to God," Renggono felt relieved, he said, his aim was to treat his wife with his own hands this was all he expected. Reny could repent for the rest of her life and realize her mistake.

"Can God still forgive my sins Sir" Reny was pessimistic. Heaven wife on the soles of the husband's feet, but Reny felt a lot of sin on the husband.

"Allah is forgiving, Ma, the important thing is, Mother immediately repented," Renggono took off his deck and looked fixedly at his wife's face that was still wet with tears.

"We now have 6 grandchildren, I want in the rest of our lives to be close to them, our grandchildren,"
