Bitter Tongue In-Law
80

No one realized that Cashel woke up again when his ears were overjoyed to hear the quarrel of his mother and Bu Ningsih. The voices of the two women were not loud, but still the quarrel that was done in one room with the child made his eyes open again.

Cashel also saw that his mother was injured and sobbed as a man dragged the old woman out of the room. He was still watching Nuna and Bian's movements, he was silent with his eyes slightly closed. Seen Bian's right hand that helped little by little treat the woman's wound that was back open. Ringisan pain and pain make Bian continue to repeat the word sorry.

"I can't protect you from danger. To fight Bu Ningsih I can't. I'm sorry, yeah, honey."

"It's okay, Bian. We can protect and complement each other. You are in a wheelchair with your hands and feet broken. But I can still walk and be a leg for you. I will no longer be afraid to face anything or anyone. I will always remember your words that while you are still there beside me, everything will be fine. But I haven't been able to remove my crybaby nature, so please understand if I cry a little, yes," said Nuna chuckling erasing the remaining tears.

"It's okay, honey. If you want to cry, cry. Crying can also lighten the load, but if possible do not for long. My heart hurts when I see your tears come out." Bian's hands again clutched Nuna's tiny body.

"I'm proud of you." Bian's lips peeked long at the woman's forehead.

Behind their warm relationship, there was Cashel who was thinking why did grandma want to take him? He could not remember whether he had met her or not. What is clear is that he does not know the woman, then why would he want to bring her?

"Mother" call Cashel weak.

The two took off a hug and turned their attention to the little boy.

"Why, Honey? Need anything? Do you want to go to the bathroom?" ask Nuna.

Cashel shook his head, "So who?"

Nuna and Bian looked at each other in silence. They were as if they were throwing the same question.

"Have you heard me talk, son?"

"Honey, later I will tell you if the time is right and you already understand what I'm talking about. My promise will be a story, but not now, yes. Anyway you calm down. No one can take you from us. Now go to sleep again, yeah. You're gonna go home soon, right?"

Cashel nodded and closed his eyes again.

"Mother, what the hell? Don't make the situation worse. Mother always restrained me to take Cashel from her mother. I don't want to, enough with me to meet him that's a relief for me. That's more than enough, I don't want anything anymore. I know he's my son, but what we're doing is really giving a mark on Nuna's heart. I know, Nuna has slightly melted her heart, she has softened her heart a little. I might be able to see Cashel in a few moments like I want. Mom don't come in there and ruin everything and then come back from scratch. I can't see my own son at all. Mommy want to kayak that? If we can't get what we want, we should get a little bit of what we want no problem, right? What matters to me is not how to take Cashel, ma'am. What matters is that I can meet. Don't make what I'm trying to get back to a crumbling, messy reed" Arga's pinta at length as soon as she gets home.

The man was willing to ignore the stomach pain he felt the last few days. He ran from the hospital yard to Cashel's room on the third floor. Intentions want to share stories with his mother about what happened to the child, which happened just outside his expectations.  Arga is confused as to how he can make his mother aware and change.

Arga left his mother who was in the living room. Withstanding the pain in his stomach he tried to close his eyes in the room.

While Bu Ningsih was still silent in the living room. His head was still thinking hard how to take his grandson from his former son-in-law. He doesn't care about anger, any form of protest or anything Arga says to him. The child who decided not to get married for the rest of his life made Bu Ningsih excited to have Cashel completely.

And the result of Bu Ningsih's thoughts we can see today, after a few days of refraining from going to the hospital waiting for the state of Cashel a little better, finally the wait paid off today.

In the middle of the night while all were fast asleep, Ms. Ningsih and the two men she asked for please entered Cashel's room quietly. With just one move, Nuna and Bian were unconscious due to the anesthetic given to the mouth of the two with a handkerchief.

Before becoming unconscious, Nuna had seen a woman who turned her back on her. Faintly he knew the woman's back, he tried to rebel, but the power that was less powerful made Nuna finally close her eyes.

After that, it was Cashel's turn to be the target of Bu Ningsih. Either at whose direction, the woman injected sleeping pills into Cashel's hands and asked one of his men to hold her granddaughter. While other men see the situation and also protect their fate so as not to be discovered.
