My Plain Love

My Plain Love
The Part 35


The boisterous voice of Fatima who was busy in the kitchen woke me up.


I remember that today I have to go back to my city.


With a face that is still tangled and strides swept, I followed Fatima in the kitchen.


"This morning I'm cooking what the hell is mom? It looks like koq bothered," I asked while looking at one by one the dishes that are already available in the kitchen, "Ehmm, from the fragrant looks delicious." My mouth is about to hold back the saliva that almost dripped.


My gaze stopped as I looked at the tray containing a bowl of white porridge and some medicine.


"Mom, who's sick? Why is there food and medicine here?" My hands don't stop checking what kind of drug this is. "Mother's sick?" I walked over to Fatima's mom and put my hand on her cheek trying to check her body temperature.


"E.., yeah, lately I've been feeling bad, maybe I'm tired of it." Ms. Fatima quickly took all the medicine and put it back in the closet.


"Ohw.., is this porridge not eaten?" askaku while taking a bowl containing white porridge without taste.


"Oh yes, I forgot! It was still hot, so mom had the fuss to cool it down first" Fatima said as she picked up the bowl I was holding and sat down to eat it.


I feel strange about Fatima's behavior.


His tone was a bit different too.


But it is! Maybe because he was tired.


"Ehmm.., the smell is up to the room! What's aunty cooking anyway? The smell was so good, my stomach was rumbling." Hakam showed up and sat down at the dinner table.


My mood was suddenly bad, when I saw Hakam.


I have not forgiven Hakam.


"You awake? Where's Chess? Take breakfast," said Fatima.


"He's in the bathroom again. O yes Na, what time do we leave?" ask Hakam.


I throw my dislike gaze at Hakam.


I really don't want to serve him.


"Before you go home, you eat the full one." Ms. Fatima embraced me warmly. "Mom will miss you so much."


"Mother don't be like that, I'm so sad to hear that." I was shocked to hear Fatima's words.


After she lost her only child, we have to leave her alone here.


"Auntie take it easy, whenever auntie misses Kirana, I'm ready for the shuttle" Hakam said, making me want to nudge her.


"Mother take it easy, whenever you want to see me my time is always there for you" I replied. "One more thing, no one can replace Candra in my heart."


"Yes mom, just calm down. I'm also ready to koq whenever I bring Kirana here," said Chess who arrived to appear dressed neatly.


"Have you taken a shower?" my many.


"Yes Na, all of you. It's six o'clock anyway, we have to hurry. Otherwise you'll miss the train."


It was hard leaving this house.


There's still one thing I can't make happen.


Actually, before you go. I want to go back to Candra's room. Maybe with that, my longing for her could be treated.


But what to say, Fatima vehemently forbade me, arguing that I didn't want to see me grow sad.


"I want to get ready first" I said as I left the dinner table.


I took a shower and prepared.


Checking my stuff back.


After everything was done, I rushed out to meet Fatima.


I didn't see Fatima's mom in the kitchen.


I looked for him in the middle room.


I don't know, at first glance I was like seeing Fatima go into Candra's room with a tray.


But when I looked closer, the door to Candra's room was still closed and locked as before.


"Mom. Where is it!" call me.


I'm looking for Fatima's mom out of the house, maybe she's there.


I finally went back inside.


"Mother! Where's mom? I was looking for something but didn't see it" I asked Fatima's mom who came up from the bathroom.


"I'm sorry, son, my mother had arrived with stomach pain" Fatima explained.


I was right to see her go into Candra's room, but why did she suddenly appear from the bathroom?


Holy jeez!!


Am I hallucinating again?


Ahhh!! Maybe because I miss him too much.


Ms. Fatima, that pity-looking old lady, there was no way she would lie to me.


Before long, the online taxi we had ordered arrived.


Chess and Hakam helped me bring stuff to put in the bakasi.


"Mom, we go first. Good mother is fine, if there is anything do not hesitate to call me! I will also visit often." I said as I hugged Fatima's mother warmly.


I will come often.


There is still one place I want to visit.


Candra's room!


Fatima looks like she's shedding her tears.


To stop him from falling.


I kissed his hands with great affection.


"I go first, I take good care of myself, yes" I hugged Fatima again.


"I say goodbye first ma'am," continued the farewell Chess.


"I also say goodbye" said Hakam, who also said goodbye.


"Judge, please take care of Kirana!" said Fatima ma'am.


Jesus mom!!


Please don't be like that!


I really don't want to be with Hakam.


For me, it's better to be a spinster than to have to replace Candra with her.


After saying goodbye to the atmosphere.


The three of us left.


Along the way, my mind was troubled by my curiosity in Fatima's purpose of forbidding me to enter Candra's room.


Kulrikik Hakam and Chess are sitting in the back of the rearview mirror.


I'm sure Hakam knows something.


"Sir," call me.


"Yes Na, what's wrong?" answer Hakam.


I tilted my body so my head could face her.


"At Candra's last minute, were you there?" ask me in a slow tone.


Hakam seemed to think before finally answering my question.


"When I got the news, auntie was back home! I.., I can't see Candra one last time either" Hakam replied with a bowed face.


Seeing Hakam's response like that, it is not hearty to continue to interrogate him.


As his cousin's sister, he must have also been struck by this situation.


I'd love to let Candra go, but I don't know why! There's something like I want to know.


Holy jeez!! I hope this is just my feeling.
