THE TEARS OF CLARA
"Mother's patience for me"
I was busy preparing for the things I was going to take to the hospital. I was in the hospital with Niko.
While the father is more at home, because the father quickly feels tired especially to go back to the hospital.
My temporary store is closed, until I get someone to look after my shop. And I can't possibly trust the store to the father, let alone the father has a history of shortness of breath, I'm afraid the father why-not while guarding the store.
At first glance I saw my father sleeping in the room, and I could not bear to leave him alone at home.
"sir".I called my father while knocking on his bedroom door.
"get in Clara" said the father and told me to come in
"what's wrong?" ask dad
"sir, I've prepared to eat father.father is fine Clara stay alone at home, later when Clara arrives at the hospital I will tell mother to go home quickly"...
"yes son" said the father smiling and stroking my hair as if I were a child in front of him.
"i'll go first, sir"...
I closed the door and left my father alone.
"Claraa"...
I was shocked when I heard a loud voice calling my name.
"Clara wait"....
My steps stopped and I knew the one who called me was her boyfriend Shinta mas Rio.
"what's wrong?" much
"i just want to remind you, never to approach Rio mas back, you are divorced and we will get married soon" said Shinta.
"i'm not getting close to Rio, and it's only natural lately that Rio's always around me, because you also know that my daughter needs him." I said then I left shinta a woman who I thought was a parasite in my family.
"strange woman" whispered my heart.
"Clara wait" call shinta again
"what else" I asked a little annoyed
"you're too arrogant, yes, it's worth Rio's leaving you" she told me.
But I didn't care about her words - shinta kept rambling on to keep me away from my ex-husband and I left him in the cab I ordered.
When I arrived at the hospital, I went straight into Nara's room. I kissed her little hand and I kissed her forehead.
"sadly this is mama, yesterday mama to your school, kept mama met with Sally she asked you dear, she said Sally kangen with you, she said, get well quickly so that you can go to school again and continue to play with your school friends"...
I fell silent and wiped my tears.
"Nara is not only your friends who miss you Mama also miss you, Niko's grandfather omah and also papa, all miss you"...
My tears kept dripping until the hiccups.
"papa often come to see Nara, papa kangen same you son, papa often sleep here your friend, now papa in the office later in the afternoon will come again to see you"...
I saw her tears dripping from her closed eyes.
"what's the matter, dear, what grandma?"much
Niko turned to her grandmother who was talking to the nurse.
And I immediately approached the mother who was talking to the nurse
"thank you sister" said the mother and sister were gone
"what's wrong mom?" I wonder what the mother talked about with the sister.
Mom smiled and took me to sit down.
"there's nothing dear, mother just asked Nara's condition, and said the nurse had to be patient and pray a lot, and the problem of Nara's medical expenses has been paid off with Rio"..
"iya ma'am.o iyah ma'am, just when I was talking to Nara, suddenly Nara's eyes shed tears"...
Mom smiled and nodded her head and hugged me.
"Mom, you better go home like you are at home" I asked my mother
"yes, kid,... Niko let's go home, grandpa's been waiting "take mom to Niko.
"iya nek" said Niko
I am grateful that when my little daughter is struggling to live, my mother is always with me patiently giving me encouragement.. patiently taking care of Niko during my hospital patiently taking care of the father who has recently had frequent asthma relapses.
I have a lot to learn from my mother with her patience, always smiling in difficult circumstances.
"Clara" called Rio mas with a very sweet smile.
Sometimes there is happiness in itself if I see my ex-husband smiling, but sometimes it will hurt if I remember the treatment of Rio mas against me, especially with his betrayal.
"what about Nara's situation, what's the change?" ask Rio
"just like yesterday" I replied limply
Then Rio saw Nara behind the glass.
"mas Rio, thank you for taking all of Nara's treatment"...
"no need to thank you, Nara my daughter and that has become my duty" said mas Rio in a soft voice.
I smiled calmly.
"have you eaten?" ask Rio
I shake my head
"eat yuk" asked Rio.
We have not eaten together for a long time and now Rio is showing the same kindness as when we were in love.
Had the divorce never happened, maybe none of this would have happened anyway.
Nara will never fall into a coma, and we will never leave the home we have lived in for years.
But fate says something else and I must sincerely accept my destiny.
