The night had been so late, everything in the village had entered the house to rest. The atmosphere of the night was so quiet with the cold so piercing. Andre and his four children had fallen asleep in Nadia's room. While Nadia who was used to the atmosphere in this village was still awake. Even the woman was still sitting on the front porch of the house while enjoying the silence created.
As he closed his eyes, suddenly there was someone sitting in the chair next to him. This only made Nadia immediately open her eyes again and turn her eyes towards the side she sat. It turned out that the one sitting next to her was Ratmi's mother.
"Would you like me to come here?" nadia asked without looking at her mother.
"Mommy can't come here? This is a mother's house, like dong" said Ms Ratmi with a ketus.
Nadia still remembered her children until she was frightened to see the faces of her parents who seemed to hate them. They know nothing about adult problems but have to feel the consequences. His heart ached to see his two girls who were on vacation looking uninspired. Though when they were about to leave was already spirit 45.
"Actually mom and dad why be judes the same kids? If indeed the mother has a problem with Andre and his family, do not involve his children" asked Nadia with a tired sigh.
Ratmi's mother was silent by looking straight ahead like Nadia. She repeatedly sighed harshly because Nadia's question seemed to make her breathing abnormal. He realized that he and his husband were wrong, but because their high ego made things complicated.
"Every time I see the kids you're on..."
"They're my real children" Nadia interrupted before her mother finished her speech.
Nadia does not accept if there are people who pin their three children as children. For Nadia, they are her biological children and no one can judge everything. Finally Ratmi's mother sighed resignedly because her speech was cut by the child.
"alright... Every time I see your children, I will remember how you fell into a coma after giving birth. It felt like our hearts were broken let alone hearing the words of such a painful doctor. The doctor told us to tell you not to feel pain longer, so we agreed. We do not want you to be in pain for too long, there is only your body but your spirit is somewhere" said Ms Ratmi explained with her own eyes.
"Even if the decision hurts even against your husband's family, we still cheated. We can't see you in pain every day. Every time you convuls and lose your breath, we pity to see you have to experience it. Even our hearts were so broken that we had to see our son struggling with a lot of tools in his body" he continued, crying.
Nadia was silent to her mother's words, even now her eyes were already teary. He understood the position of his parents who were dizzy to see his son lying weak because of childbirth so they had to blame others. He was worried about what was going on to solve everything.
"Huf... Forgive Nadia if all this time we were even hostile to mother. We especially don't want Nadia if the kids who don't know anything are the victims. So Nadia begs us all to forgive each other and just think of yesterday's incident as a lesson if we have to discuss everything together so as not to misunderstand" said Nadia wisely.
Ratmi's mother nodded her head in understanding. Nor can he confuse adult problems with children. Either way, they know nothing about everything that is happening. Ratmi's mother immediately got up from her seat and hugged Nadia so tightly. Nadia who was hugged immediately hugged her mother back.
"Nadia also misses the mother who always ngomelin me" said Nadia sincerely.
In the silence of that night, the two hugged each other accompanied by sobbing sobbing so much so. Not a cry of sadness, but of happiness. Yet such a heartwarming scene was shattered instantly because of someone who had just arrived.
"The call continues to be rich in teletubbies" quipped someone who had just arrived, who was none other than Arnold.
The two women immediately let go of his embrace and turned their eyes towards the door of the house. There Arnold stood in his rancid style while rubbing his eyes. Maybe the little boy woke up and realized there was no mother beside him so he looked for her out of the room.
Nadia grabbed Arnold to climb onto his lap even the little boy immediately hugged his mother tightly. Nadia stroked the back of her child gently so that she could fall back asleep immediately.
"It seems rich people are already big, just sleep is still tacky and nyari his mother" said Ms Ratmi who had sat back in her chair.
"Grandmother, if you want to be rich in me, Arnold said. Let my mother and nina get pregnant and the grandmother on her lap is rich Arnold. But let me go first because Arnold is still sleepy" Arnold said in response to the taunts from his grandmother.
Suddenly Nadia chuckled amusedly at the words of her son, while Ratmi's mother could only snort in annoyance. He would never have won against Arnold, who was good at talking about it. It's better to be quiet than to waste energy facing Arnold. Before long, there was a soft snoring that indicated that the little boy had fallen asleep again. Nadia still gently stroked her back so that the child would fall asleep more soundly.
"Your son is truly magical" said Ms Ratmi.
"Yes, mom. Until I'm afraid we face even his words that we always can not answer. I'm sure one day, he will be a protector for both his brother and sister" said Nadia smiling proudly.
"Yes right, his attitude is also very possessive especially the same as you. But that's what he says is that eating how many chili tuh a day" said Ibu Ratmi while shaking her head.
Maybe Arnold's nature is so thin and spicy-mouthed that comes from Andre. Plus a combination of Aneta who during his life also said ketus. What a combination that makes everyone shake their heads.
"Let's go in, it's cold" he asked.
Nadia nodded her head then walked first to enter the house. While Ratmi's mother will close and lock the door of the house. Nadia went into her room and saw her husband and other children still soundly asleep. Nadia laid Arnold on the bed and followed him who immediately lay next to the little boy.
