The Injured
Dreamtime

When Aksa returned to LN, the triplets began to return to their parents' homes. Every day Rion always misses his three grandchildren, but they are arrogant not to play or go home.

"Engkong!" call Aeleya.

All three of Echa's children have just returned from the airport. Ayanda immediately drove them to the homes of their parents.

"Engkong!" call Aleesa.

They saw the grandfather's car was parked pretty in front of the house. Indicates that their crank has gone home. However, they searched all the rooms the results were not there.

"Engkong went with Wawa," replied Ina who had just approached them.

The lethargic faces of the three Echa children were clearly visible. They were abandoned by their mother, and their playmate, the grandfather, did not exist.

"Said Bubu, the beautiful Neng-neng played with Mbak first, yes."

The three children resigned, they lay their bodies on the fur carpet of the playroom.

"Bak, want some milk," Aleeya pinta.

Ma'am Ina immediately got up from her seat and made milk for the three of them. Although only Aleeya asked, Madam Ina knew that her other two brothers would want to too. It's not just the milk that Mother Ina brought. He also brought a mini box dessert for his three grandchildren.

They drink milk like people who have been thirsty all day and spend a mini dessert box in an instant.

"When do you come home?" ask Aleena.

"Awhile more. Bubu just went to Engkong's office."

"Engkong?" ask Aeleya.

"To Bogor."

"Huh! To Bogol mulu," lamented Aleesa.

Ma'am Ina smiled happily at the grunts of the triplets. They are active and quick-witted children.

Long they waited for the mother, finally they fell asleep by themselves, when Mbak Ina cooked for dinner. All the door Ma'am Ina locks are afraid they're running away clandestine.

The arches of smiles etched on Mbak Ina's face saw the trio of Al sleeping with his peace. Children who always bring happiness to the Rion family and also Echa.

The roar of the car engine was heard, Madam Ina immediately opened the door. Sure enough, both of the triplets' parents had just arrived.

"Where are the kids, Ma'am?"

The first question Echa asked was children. That's Echa's habit now. Since her three children went to school, Echa began to slowly leave them to the office. Although, it is not every day because Echa also knows the limits. She promised herself to take care of her three children. He did not want to regret it later.

After cleaning his body, Echa came back to his children who were still asleep.

"Sir, are they crying?" ask Echa when approaching Mbak Ina in the kitchen.

"No, Neng. Just a Mr. Nanyain." Echa nodded, her three children did say that they missed their grandfather.

"Honey, the kids are waking up" Radit said.

Echa slightly ran over to her three children who were sitting with eyes that were still sleepy.

"Sorry, Bubu's staying again." The three of them hugged Echa's body.

"When do you come home?" Echa smiled at Aleeya's question.

"At least tonight" answered Echa, wiping her three children's hair.

"Pig." Aleena spread her arms, wanting to embrace Radit.

"Uncle's on a plane?" Aleena nodded slowly.

Actually these three Echa children still want to be spoiled with both their parents. However, they must also understand that their father and mother are not the children of random people. They have a lot of heritage that they have to manage.

Gio and Addhitama have already introduced the triplets about the company they own. Although, through the video they understand quite well. That was their reason for not being a crybaby. It has to be pinned there and here. They are happy because of the many families they have.

Dinner had arrived, but Rion had not yet arrived. The three Echa children continued to wait for the grandfather. They really miss Rion.

"Little om, when did Engkong come home?" Aleesa asked. He was sitting in the playroom talking to Jojo.

"At least a minute. You naughty people don't want to go home. Now, Engkong's left, right," Iyan's tease.

"In Mimo's house there's Uncle. Dedek wants to be with Uncle," replied Aleeya.

The playroom also sounded very noisy because of the conversation between Iyan and his three nephews.

"Why the hell?" Echa, who had just finished the dinner table, approached her sister and her three children.

"Little Om, Engkong lives in Dedek," Aleeya argued.

Echa gently rubbed Aleeya's hair. "Engkong is working with Wawa. So, you guys don't wait. Better to sleep. Tomorrow's gonna have to go to school."

The triplets obey what the mother says. He looked towards Iyan.

"Iyan wants to play PS with Brother," he said.

"Don't night-night. Don't be noisy." Iyan also nodded obediently.

She was more afraid of Echa than Riana.

After his three children fell asleep. Echa who was just about to lay down her body was surprised by the presence of Radit who was looking for a medical device.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Dad" replied Radit.

Echa immediately got out of bed when she heard Father's name, and went downstairs. His father was lying on the sofa with a pale face.

"Om, what's the matter with Dad?" Echa is really panicking.

"So, she complained of dizziness and lightheadedness."

Radit immediately checked on his father-in-law. From heart rate to blood pressure.

"Dad, go to the hospital, yeah. Dad's ulcers recur and Dad's also less fluid" Radit explained.

"No need, Dit. I'm cured tomorrow, too."

Rion really did not want to trouble his son. Moreover, he saw that Echa had been holding back her tears that were about to break through the fall.

"Take Dad to the room."

Radit and Arya bring Rion's body to his room. Echa put a blanket on the father. He held Rion's hand warmly.

"Father will make Echa even more sad if you don't want to be taken to the hospital" he said in a heavy voice.

"Don't scare Iyan, Dad. Iyan no longer has a mother. Don't leave Iyan, Dad."

Arya looked down deeply, her finger rubbing the wet end of her eyes. If, regarding Iyan and Echa he would always cry.

"Dad is okay. Dad's just exhausted. Dad's mealtime is also messy, with rest also sure to heal." Rion will be stubborn when it comes to his pain.

"Yes, then Iyan contact Kak Ri. Let him go home and take care of Dad too." Iyan has opened his phone, Rion forbids it.

"Don't disturb Sister Ri" she asked.

"Makanya nurut with Brother Echa. Don't be naughty like a child," Iyan said.

Arya gave a smile when she saw that Rion was not talking to her youngest child. I want Arya to laugh.

"Rubu ...."

The triplets' cries are heard making Echa and Radit run to their son's third room.

"Why, Son?" They immediately embrace the bodies of Echa and Radit.

"Sa's sister dreams Engkong."

"Second as well."

Echa exhaled heavily upon hearing it. These three children have a very strong bond with their grandfather.

"Cong song hurts, you guys don't make noise, yeah."

The three children were shocked to hear Radit's words. They rushed down from the bed and ran to their grandfather's room.

"Be careful, son!" shout Echa.

"Why is Engkong sick?"

"Don't rain."

"Don't heat up either."

The three babbling children of Echa made Iyan and Arya laugh. The very wrong words they made.

"That's not raining, son. Engkong is also not hot," Radit explained.

"Telus?"

"Bad snkong, eat it irregular. Too much coffee," said Echa.

The triplets' tiny hands hit Rion's arms together, causing Rion to stir.

"Coffee is not good" Aleena said.

"Rubber. The coffee that you drink is expensive. Poor Bubu always buy expensive coffee for Engkong," Aleesa explained.

"Tomorrow to drink water, Kong."

Again Arya and Iyan laughed at the babble of these three prodigies. Not loved because of the pain was even lectured.

"Sir, take your son away from here Daddy's head is getting sick."

answer them simultaneously.

"We will take care of Engkong" they said again.

"Oh my God!" erang Rion slowly.

The next morning, Rion began to open his eyes. He saw his three grandchildren massaging his legs. Two on the left and one on the right.

"Grands of Engkong, what else?" ask Rion.

"From waking up they don't want to take a shower. Want pijatin Engkong said," explained Echa who had just entered carrying a tray containing chicken porridge.

Rion started to straighten up and smiled towards his grandchildren.

"Thank you, yeah." The triplets nodded and hugged Rion's body.

"You take a shower first. Engkong also wanted to wash his face. After this we eat chicken porridge together, yeah."

The three Echa children nodded and hurriedly got off Rion's bed.

"Pubu, let's take a shower" Aleesa asked.

Echa shook her head. These three kids are amazing. They loved their grandfather very much.

"Mom, Dedek doesn't want to go to school. Dedek wants to accompany Engkong." Echa was astonished to hear Aleeya saying that she was combing her hair.

"Sa's sister doesn't want to go to school either, ma'am."

"Son Na too."

"It can't be, honey. You guys should go to school. Later if opa nanyain why Baba's children do not go to school, how?" ask Echa.

The three Echa children fell silent. They are often called by Addhitama about their school.

"Yes school, after school, will take care of Engkong."

Finally, they nodded. Echa carried a tray containing the porridge of their three children who wanted to eat with their beloved grandfather.

"Don't be naughty, son. Bubu accompany Baba and little Om, yeah."

Echa gives her three children along with Rion. Let the grandchildren and grandfathers let go of the longing.

"Kids want school?" Echa nodded while enjoying her homemade chicken porridge.

"Sister, why does the chicken porridge make it anyway. Must be tired. I just bought it," said Iyan.

"Not that too, Yan. Father is sick again, Brother must give his best to take care of Dad. I don't want you getting sick."

This big brother of Iyan is truly extraordinary. Iyan gave a very wide smile.

"As a child, I want to give my best to you. While still being able to give time to take care of Dad. Whatever you're gonna do."

"Thank you, brother."

"No need for such a word. It's our duty as his children to care for our parents." A sincere smile etched Echa's face.

Radit is very proud and lucky to have a life companion like Echa. A perfect woman in his eyes.

It's not just his father who is being treated if he is sick. Echa was willing to go back and forth or stay at the Addhitama residence if Addhitama was lying weak. Echa didn't want her father-in-law taken care of.

Before delivering his children to school, Rion ordered to buy star fruit and pineapple to Echa.

"Dad's got maag. Another fruit, yes," haggled Echa.

"Dad wants that, Dek. Want something fresh." Echa assures him, later he will ask the husband may not his father eat star fruit and pineapple.

After dropping off her three children's school, Echa had brought star fruit and pineapple that had been peeled. He gave it to his father who was still in a sleeping position.

"Dad, eat the fruit first." Rion opened his eyes and inched to his body.

"Thank you" he said, chewing pineapple.

No Rion guessed that Echa instead hugged her body very tightly.

"Don't get sick and promise not to stay with Echa. Echa can't afford to lose Dad. Dad's kids still need Dad."

Such a heart-wrenching sentence from Rion. The tip of his eye was giving off a clear liquid.

Echa unravels her embrace. He wiped away the tears of his father who had already dripped.

"Dad, please be honest with Echa. You've been thinking about something lately, haven't you?" search Echa.

His father's eyes could not lie. Echa feels there is an awkwardness that her father is hiding. These few days they ate very little and went home very late. When Echa asked Arya, there was no job that was too confiscating.

"Be honest with Echa, Dad. Echa knew that Echa could never replace Mom or Mommy. At least, I still have a place to complain."

Echa really hopes her father opens his voice. Rion's still frozen.

"It's been more than a week, your Mother is present in your dream. He apologized to the point of prostrating at Dad's feet" he said.

As a child, he said nothing. He will not force his father to forgive his mother. It was not his capacity to interfere with the father's feelings.

"Mother keeps apologizing to me, Dad. Are you still going to harden Dad's heart?"

Rion could not answer the question from Echa. Three years passed, it did not dampen his anger and hatred to the late wife.

"Father ... try to let go and explain everything. God willing, your life will be calm. Being sincere is not easy. Taking off is hard, why don't you try? Slowly, don't rush." Echa clasped her father's hand very tightly.

"Echa sure, I can. The man is wrong. No man is clean from sin. God alone is very forgiving, why are we who are only creatures instead become hard-hearted humans?"

Rion stared at his eldest daughter's bead eyes which continued to emit a light of tranquility. This child has a different aura. Despite being constantly hurt, humiliated by others, she is able to forgive. He did not want to burden himself with vengeance.

"Dad's not you, Dek. Dad's heart isn't as soft as yours."

Echa nodded. He put his father's hand on his chest.

"The soft heart of Echa because Echa is able to make peace with the pain, pain and disappointment that Echa has experienced. Echa is able to accept Dad with a chest roomy even though Dad has hurt Echa's heart. Wh why? Echa wants to live a quiet Echa life with the person Echa loves. If, Echa is vengeful and angry with the father to the point of not forgiving the father, Echa is very sure .. if Echa's life will not be as happy now."

"Study, Dad. Poor Iyan, poor Riana. They want you to forgive their mother. They want their father back. They didn't want to see their father cry silently in the room."

Rion looked down deeply and cried quite loudly. He was in real pain holding everything alone.

"Dad didn't feel like he could be a good parent to the three of you. I feel ... have failed to educate you. It even makes you a child of an incomplete family. Forgive me, Father."

Echa immediately embraced her father's body. It hurt Echa's heart to hear it.

"Father is the best parent for Echa and Echa's two younger siblings. There is no great father but Father. Echa is proud to be Dad's son."

Behind the door Arya raised her head upwards holding back the tears that wanted to drip.

"Over this it turns out your mind is suffering a lot," his inner self.

During his friendship with Rion, he had never seen Rion absorb this. His farewell to Ayanda was not this bad. The wounds left by Amanda were so scarred that her best friend kept them alone. Not sharing with others.
