A Relationship
Episode #6
From a distance Akhtar and his mother saw the togetherness of his mother and son. Humita felt overwhelmed by her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
"You see that? Sarah has a very strong bond with Safa, she is a good and responsible mother. A good mother she won't be mad at her daughter for very long. I feel like you're the one who failed at being a father. I don't know what's upsetting you about your granddaughter" Humita said with a look at her granddaughter and daughter-in-law.
"When Safa was in the dorm, Sarah and I wanted to see her, but Safa didn't want to meet anyone, especially us. I also don't know why Safa's attitude suddenly changed like that. And.... " Akhtar told him the reason and his words were cut off by his mother.
"So that's why you're disappointed in him?" Humita said, turning his gaze towards his son with his hands folded in his chest and Akhtar was silent.
"And now it is my mother who is disappointed in you. You should have figured out first what made Safa change. When he comes home you come to him and ask what you want to ask, not even stay away to teach him a lesson. And you don't know what happened last night to Safa? Humita said firmly.
"What happened to Safa?" Akhtar asked seriously for fear that something happened to Safa last night.
"What do you know? Don't you care about her?" Humita
"Mi Safa is my daughter, I as her father deserve to know what happened to her" Akhtar said in a slightly raised voice.
"You want to know? Well, I'll tell you what happened to Safa.
"Huh" Humita threw out her breath violently.
Akhtar just kept quiet he couldn't wait for his mom to tell him a story. Because she was very curious about what her mother would say. On the other hand he was also very worried about the fear of something happening to Safa.
"Safa is like a lot of burden in his mind, mami is very worried about him. I don't know what kind of trouble he's taking on himself. To the point that last night she was sobbing in my arms, she kept saying sorry to mami and Afsana. Mami also asked what happened but Safa did not answer she was just crying and crying" Humita said with teary eyes while looking at Safa.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Oh yes, dear mama bring breakfast for Safa, Safa eat yah mama bribe" Sarah said after the hug was released.
"Ma but grandma has given Safa breakfast" Safa said slowly.
"Grandma gave Safa fish and eggs, while Safa was allergic to all of it. So mama brought the vegetable Safa, Safa ate ya" Sarah said softly.
"Safa thinks you forgot" Safa said softly as she lowered her head with her wet eyes back.
Sarah held onto Safa's chin to look at her and wiped away the tears that had soaked her cheek again.
"Darling, Safa is your child so you know what you like and don't like. So now Safa has breakfast first, mama does not want if Safa is late to eat" said Sarah who will feed Safa.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Akhtar was afraid that Safa would change because she knew that she was not.... " Humita's voice was cut off by her son.
"Enough mi" Akhtar snapped at his mother until he heard all the places close to their existence.
Safa and Sarah looked at each other and saw to the side where Akhtar and Humita were because they both heard a loud clap of Akhtar.
"Papa, why are you yelling at Grandma" Safa muttered but could still be heard by her mother while looking at her father and grandmother.
"Darling, you wait here yeah, mama will meet your dad and grandma. Safa continues her breakfast later mama again" Sarah said by kissing Safa's forehead and then left and replied to a smile by Safa.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Humita was silent with another look. She did not expect Akhtar to snap at her, this was the first time Humita was yelled at by a person let alone that person was her own son.
"Mam, is mom okay?" Sarah asked who was near her in-laws while holding her shoulder.
Humita looked at her daughter-in-law with a sad look. Akhtar stood up and called his mother.
"Mi" Lirih Akhtar's
"As for what the fuck you are, how dare you yell at mommy" Sarah asserted to her husband while embracing her in-laws from the side.
"Sad sorry I accidentally snapped at him" Akhtar said with a pleading gaze.
From a distance Safa sees her family fighting, Safa thinks this is her fault. After Safa returned home, her family did not seem very harmonious.
"O Allah, what is all this because of my sudden presence back home, if I forgive the mistake I have made, O Allah. I beg you to return my family to what it used to be, to be a harmonious family, without any problems" Inner Safa stared at her grandmother, mother and father in tears.
"Sir" Call Safa who's behind her grandmother.
Humita turned around and spread out her arms, Safa ran to her grandmother and hugged her tightly.
"Is grandma okay?" Safa asked worriedly after the hug came off.
"Grandmother is okay dear" Humita replied while wiping away the tears on Safa's cheeks.
"Sorry grandma" Lirih Safa.
"Safa is innocent dear" Humita said
"Let's take Safa to the room" Safa said, holding Humita's hand and being carried by her.
"Safa, what's with you dear, mama feels Safa changed, mama is very afraid if Safa away from mama" Inner Sarah unconsciously her cheeks are wet with tears.
"Darling why are you crying, are you okay?" Tanya Akhtar held both of his wife's shoulders in worry.
"Why don't you ask my daughter the same question, huh?You're really selfish, you don't think about my daughter anymore. I'm really disappointed in you mas" Sarah said as she left her husband speechless after listening to his wife.
Akhtar looked at the back of the wife who started to walk away from him. He feels guilty for his entire family, for his attitude makes his family relationships become tenuous.
Finally Akhtar went first to the office because there was a very important meeting, after finishing later he will go straight home and apologize to his family, especially to his daughter.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
In the room Humita Safa sleeps in the grandmother's lap and is answered with elusan on his head.
"Don't Safa have to go find a university?" Tanya Humita started the conversation.
