Tonight I decided to go to bed with my grandmother. Even without talking about it before with my husband. I was sure, sure enough, that he would definitely sneer at her. What a longing to burst. A day of face-to-face contact with her was unable to treat every inch of that flavor for her.
“ net. Tonight I slept with my yah” grandmother
“ your husband how nak?”
“Grandmother take it easy, she'll be fine. He is not a baby anymore” I replied indifferently while hugging the frail back of my mighty woman.
“ well already then.” Grandma returned to correct her sleeping position.
“ grandma, may I ask?” I said as I pressed my arms against Grandma's back.
“Hmmmm..” grandma just answered me how rough.
“Actually where are my parents going anyway? How much they hate me so much that they never met me nek” my eyeballs began to glaze over. Grandma turned her body towards me, putting on a serious face but remaining shady, calm as she looked at him.
“ zahra, everyone has a story, has a reason for it son. So did your parents. So far, my grandmother has never heard from them. But rest assured that one day they will look for you son, your duty is to pray and wait for when that time comes. Is not God fair? Maybe in their absence right now is God's way to mature you son, grandma sure it.” Grandma counselled me at length.
“ but grandma, if they don't want me, why should I be born? I also want to live a normal life Grandma, living with both of my parents.” I started sobbing. My chest tightness at this time. Honest in the depths of my heart, I want to be with them.
“ patiently nak. Maybe God has prepared a wonderful life out of all this”
“ grandma know not? I had longed for them even just to see their faces. “ I continued my story while still sobbing.
I just nodded slowly, I don't know until when I have to fight the increasingly passionate longing. I just want to see their faces even though they don't want me very much. I started to fall asleep as grandma started to caress the shoots of my head. I feel warm because of it.
“Grandma, zahra is asleep?”
“ seems so son. Why do you need anything? “
“Of course grandma, I need my wife” says space smile shyly.
“ besides the bed here is only enough for 1 person. I'm afraid zahra will disturb grandma's sleep” space resume. Grandma seemed to know what was on her daughter-in-law's mind.
“All right then? Are you strong to carry it?”
“ of course nek.”
The sky began to carry me to our bedroom. Unconsciously by my husband. I heard all her words by Grandma, I went back to pretending to be asleep. Comfort when I hear his heartbeat I enjoy more.
“The more days his body gets heavier, ” muttered my husband while putting my body to bed. I took the initiative, I pulled his hand until he fell on me.
“Mas don't leave me” I said slowly.
“ in his sleep he still remembers me, ahh so sweet once” so he has not realized that I was just pretending to sleep. Well, I enjoy my game, I hug her more tightly. I don't think he rebelled at all. However, there was something wrong with him I felt a hard lump on his body. I don't know what it is?
