The weekend for Bayu is a stifling day. How not? On that day, most of the factory workers used their weekends for the family, but Bayu could only resist the taste. He wanted to be like any other little family. Take the princess for a walk to enjoy the warm afternoon air. Or hanging out in angkringan with his beloved wife.
But all that is fantasy. In fact, Aisha always refused her presence. Although not blatantly, but Bayu can guess Aisyah's mind.
Bayu never despair. He visits his daughter during holidays. He did not pay attention to Aisyah who sometimes acted tough on him. Because Bayu really wants to maintain their household.
The sun was getting higher as the man heated the motor in front of the house. As usual, Bayu will visit his little daughter. For a week he piled up longing, now is the time Bayu spilled his longing to the princess.
"Put it first, Mom. Pray Bayu, may Aisha's heart be melted," said Bayu while kissing the back of Ambar's hand, moments before he left for the house of Agung.
"Be careful on the road, son. I always pray for you. I also wish Aisyah would come back to you." Ambar let go of the son until his shadow disappeared at the turn of the alley.
Since Zahra lived in Agung's house, Ambar's activities changed. The middle-aged woman is lonely. In the past, the busy parenting Zahra became entertainment for Ambar. But now, he had to look for new activities so that his mind would not be filled with Zahra's smile.
Ambar now more often take care of the flowers that grow in the front yard. She tries not to care about her husband and youngest child which often makes her anger stick out.
...************...
Meanwhile in a restroom, Aisyah settles down beside her little daughter. He wants to enjoy this holiday by accompanying Zahra to play. It was late afternoon when Zahra was busy with toys on the bedroom floor. Aisyah also patiently accompanied and responded to the babbles of her little daughter.
The day is getting noon. The sun was blazing as it entered the hour of the baby's noon grave.
"Sir, this is Zahra's lunch already Diana ready," said the girl after opening the door to Aisyah's room.
Aisyah who was almost asleep immediately woke up. He glanced at the clock that was attached to the wall of his room.
"It was noon, thank you, yes, Di." Aisyah got up and immediately carried Zahra to take her to the dining room.
After washing Zahra's hands and her own, Aisyah sat the boy in a small chair near the television.
"Maem's son first, yes. Aaaf ...." Aisyah patiently fed her little daughter while telling her story.
It didn't take long to finish the baby's lunch. Zahra fell asleep 20 minutes after eating. Aisha put Zahra on the bed. He enjoyed taking a nap at his daughter's side.
Time showed at two o'clock in the afternoon when the sound of a cell phone ringing disturbed Diana. The girl was watching the drama in front of the television. His focus was interrupted when the sound of the cell phone from Aisyah's room rang repeatedly. The girl was curious until she came to Aisyah's room which was not covered perfectly.
Diana saw Aisyah falling asleep beside Zahra. While the phone that rang was on the dresser which was about two meters from the bed. Diana approached the phone. She saw the name of her sister's mother-in-law on the screen.
Slowly Diana approached Aisyah and shook her brother's body gently.
"Mbak, wakeup. This is her mother's phone call," said Diana while continuing to shake her brother's body.
"Mom, wake up, Ma'am!" Diana repeated again as Aisyah remained unmoved.
On the third call, Aisyah began to be piqued by Diana's voice. He squirmed and looked at Diana who was nearby.
"What's up, Di?"
"This is her mother Bayu from earlier phone," said Diana. He handed Aisyah's phone which was still ringing.
Aisha immediately accepted it. He shifted the dial button and immediately replied, "Hello, assalamualaikum, ma'am."
"Girisham, Aish. Aish where is it now?"
"At home, Mom. Has been slavish Zahra. What's up, ma'am," asked Aisyah. He caught the worry of every breath heard in his sense of hearing.
"Mother is now in RSUD. Aisha can come now?" pinta Ambar's.
"RSUD? Mommy sick? Whose mother? Didn't Bayu drive Mom?" Aisha railed with various questions. The woman was a little incestuous with Bayu, because she thought Bayu must not want to take her mother to the hospital.
"Let's explain here, son. The important thing is that Aisha is coming now!"
"Yes, Mom. Wait a minute Aisyah immediately there," Aisyah replied with a panicked look.
Aisyah rushed down from the bed and immediately changed her clothes with more decent clothes.
"What's up, Ma'am? Is Ambar's mom okay?" diana asked when she saw Aisyah in a hurry. He heard a little Aisha's words.
Diana smiled and nodded, "Yes, Ma'am. Zahra's problem is not to worry. Be careful on the road. If there's anything, call Diana immediately."
"Thank you, Di. Let's go first."
Out there, the internet is waiting. Aisyah immediately sat in the back seat after wearing the helmet given by the driver. They immediately drove towards RSUD. During the trip, Aisyah's feelings were not out of order. He could not calm down thinking of Ambar who was alone in the hospital.
...***********...
"Which mother is in the room? Aish had already arrived at the main door," Aisyah asked through her mobile phone.
"Mom's in front of the operating room, son. Mommy ...."
"Good, Mom. Aisyah's coming soon," cut Aisyah off.
The woman rushed to the operating room after asking the nurse. He walked according to the instructions given by the nurse.
"Mother!" peekik Aisha.
The woman was surprised to see Ambar standing in front of the operating room. In a chair not far from Ambar, Herman sat with his head pointed. Both hands support the head with elbows placed on the knees.
Aisyah was getting more astonished, she approached Ambar. "Mother why? What's up, Mom?"
Aisyah looked at the eyes of the mother-in-law. Ambar immediately hugged Aisyah and stroked her daughter-in-law's back.
"What's up, Mom? Is Erina going to give birth? Why are you crying?" Aisyah was more confused, because she did not see Erina's husband there if Erina was going to give birth.
"It's all because of you. Bayu wouldn't be like this if he didn't insist on coming to your house!" exclaim Herman.
Ambar immediately broke his embrace when Herman's voice shocked them.
"Mister shouldn't say this! You better get out of here if you just want to complicate matters!" snapped Ambar to the husband.
Just this time Ambar looks angry at Herman. Ambar has always been patient in the face of her husband's attitude.
"Well, why, Mom?" lirih Aisha. He was so confused by the current situation. Especially when he saw Herman leave the room with a sad face.
"Sit down, Aish." Ambar invited Aisyah to sit on an iron bench not far from her current position.
"We're being tested, son. I don't know how big your problems are. But please, please forgive Bayu. Mother asked Aisha's sincerity to forgive her mother's son so that he would be given a spaciousness in the face of death" Ambar said as he wiped his tears. No matter how hard she tries to hold back tears, but a mother will not be able to receive such shocking news.
"What do you mean by mother?" ask Aisyah. The woman began to shed tears. He felt that this was the answer to his discomfort during the trip. She believes that her husband is not doing well in the operating room.
"Woodu had an accident this morning on the way to your house, son. The police just told mom an hour ago. Bayu is currently in the operating room. We pray for her safety, yes" Ambar asked with tears in his eyes.
Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Aisyah froze to hear Ambar's words. However, Bayu is still her husband, the father of her little daughter.
"Is this karma for me for not obeying Bayu?" it shouts in the day.
Aisha felt guilty. A few days ago, Aisyah was determined to improve her attitude towards Bayu. After hearing the lecture at her sister's house the other day, Aisyah promised to give her husband a second chance. However, before his promise was made, Aisyah was struck by such a painful reality.
"Critical wood, Aish. The doctor said he lost a lot of blood. Please, Aish can forgive all the mistakes Bayu, yes."
The sound of the mother-in-law's cries increasingly made Aisyah's chest tight. He was crying while nodding his head.
"Aisha has forgiven Bayu, Mom. Aisyah apologized. The wrong Aisyah has been ignoring the Bayu mas all this time. Aisyah promised, Aisyah will return to care for the Bayu mas as before. Aisha promised not to leave Bayu again!"
The grim cries of the two women came to the attention of several passing people. Until they do not realize if the indicator light above the operating room door has been extinguished.
"The family of Mr. Bayu" said someone who had just come out of the operating room diverted the attention of the two women who were still hugging in the waiting room chair.
