The Wounds You Give

Chapter 16 "Pure Granny's Sadness"

Meanwhile, Arman, his wife and mother have been sitting at the dinner table for dinner together. Their housekeepers were busy serving the family dinner menu.

"Mom why is it that frown, what makes you upset ?" ask Arman.

"Why your child does not want to come to visit mother, does he not love mother anymore. Did mom have to die first and then she came to mourn." Pure grandmother's speech.

Arman and his wife were shocked to hear their mother's words.

"Mother, don't talk about it dong, I'd love to leave Risma alone. If you go who's Risma's friend in a house this big. Risma will be lonely, ma'am." said the daughter-in-law.

"The end of your son, make the mother miss half dead, have the only grandson who is the model. O Lord, what sin have I committed that you gave me a grandson who has no longing for his family. Why did you guys produce only one grandchild for me should be for the other grandkids, so there's a backup if one doesn't want to go home. A house this big but every day always quiet. I want to see my great-grandson before I leave this world. Do not let our family lineage stop in Arkan." said Murni while shedding tears.

"We have to be patient Mom, Arkan still can't forget Rena. Arman is sure, ma'am, someday there will be a woman who can conquer his heart." Arman.

"But until when man, mother is old. Mother wants before mother called god, mother wants to see grandchildren mother married and have children. But it seems impossible because despite four years in residence his wife Arkan still can not turn away." Pure grandmother said with a sad face.

Arman could only be silent at what his mother said, Arkan loved his wife so much that it was difficult for her to open her heart to another woman. But Arman always prayed that Arkan would soon meet a woman who could replace Rena in his son's heart. Arman doesn't want to see his son live in the shadows of his past.

After hearing the Pure Grandmother's words the three of them fell silent drifting in each other's minds.

Not long after from the entrance came footsteps that made everyone at the table turn to see who was coming.

"Assalamualaikum My mother and grandmother are the most beautiful in the world." Arcan

"Walaikumsalam" they answered compactly

Seeing that the one who was missed was now in sight, the two women were very happy to see the arrival of Arkan. Arkan walked towards the dining table and hugged his mother and grandmother.

"My granddaughter finally remembers the way home, Grandma misses you so much, son. Let's go have dinner together." Tell the grandmother.

"Rendy, you're also quick here to have dinner together." Arman's Word.

"Om good." Answer Rendy

Rendy was considered a family by the Arkan family because her late father was a friend of Mr. Arman.

"Son, you'll be here, won't you ? papa said you were going to Germany. Mama wants to let go of the same miss mama's child, before you go." said Risma pleading with the child who made Arkan not bear, so as to agree with the request of the mother.

"Yes ma, Arkan will stay here" said Arkan who makes the three hearts of people who are no longer young are happy.

After dinner they move to Arkan's living room, Papa, Mama, and Grandma continue their conversation there while Rendy's assistant goes away wanting to rest her body in her room. Rendy does have her own room in Arkan's parents' house, so if they stay Rendy will occupy the room.

Arman looks happy the three mothers and his wife indulge his son, the two women he loved were treating the child like a child that sometimes Arkan protested because he was an adult.

Arman is also grateful that today his mother and wife did not mention the marriage and the future successor of their family which would make Arkan angry. Maybe the two women realized that if they offended it would only make them go further with the child.

Let time answer all, Arman is sure all will be beautiful in time.

Satisfied talking with his family Arkan berampit to his parents to rest to his room.

After Arkan left, Grandma looked at Arkan with a sad look. As if Risma knew what her in-laws were feeling, she tried to strengthen the mother-in-law even though she felt the same way.

Seeing the two women grieving after the departure of his son Arman just sighed and said "Here you are, do not grieve anymore, let alone bring up the matter of his life companion Arkan. He'll get away and dodge. We can only give up and pray that God will give a soul mate who can make our Arkan back to what it used to be."

The two women nodded and confirmed the words of the head of the family. There's no point in forcing Arkan to open his heart the further he moves away from his family.

"Bu days are getting late, Risma should take the mother to the room, it is not good for the mother to sleep too late. It's not good for mom's health."His son-in-law.

Purely obey the orders of the son-in-law and go to his room escorted by his daughter-in-law.

Pure is very grateful to get a daughter-in-law who is versatile like Risma, in addition to being smart to take care of her children and husband, Risma is also very close to her in-laws, Risma also considers Murni not her mother-in-law but her mother, so is Pure.

Unlike in-laws and daughters-in-law who are always noisy, they look more like mothers and children. Sometimes people who do not know it will think that Arman is the daughter-in-law of the mother because his wife and mother are very familiar.

Now that Arman was alone in the living room, he stared at the passing of his mother and wife while praying to God.

"May what the mother wants be granted O Allah, give happiness to the mother of the servant of the Lord, she only wants to see the presence of her daughter-in-law and great-grandson at her age, bring closer the soul mate of the servant child of the Lord, she just wants to see the presence of her son-in-law and great-grandson in her age, may the soul mate whom you will send be a good woman and be able to love the servant's child and the servant's family." Arman prayed in his heart.

Arman is also like his mother and wife who want his son to rearrange his life that was destroyed because of the lives of his wife and children, Arman also misses the sound of the baby crying that he will hear in their home but he can't do anything because the child is still reluctant to organize his future.
