Today is even thirty days or a month, Bening has passed the period of childbirth. That means that these last ten days he will be in the village and that means he will soon be returning to Jakarta. The clear is also getting fresher and fresher, the air in the countryside is so fresh, the sound of birdsong is always heard like a song of nature, making recovery faster.
Every day, Bening will invite his daughter to sunbathe for a moment when the morning while breathing fresh air. This morning he happened to be with the Goddess sitting on the terrace swing of their house, his daughter was in the arms of the Goddess.
"Looking is not too fussy, Ma'am, I rarely hear him cry at night."
"Yes, Wi, maybe because Mentari is full quickly so his sleep was sound, Mbak still often woke up once in a while."
Silence a moment after that with a smile still left on the faces of the two. Then they talked at length. Dewi also asked Bening if he regretted marrying young, something that people often ask Bening also before, not only Goddess.
"Mbak never regretted marrying young, Wi. You saw your own marriage brings blessing, didn't you? And God has shown that Mas Gara is the most appropriate person to be the husband of Mbak, therefore Mbak is very grateful for what we have obtained at this time."
"I also always see the joy on the face of Mbak since married to Mas Gara. It turns out that yes, Ma'am, people say that if a woman has found the right man, then she will be treated like a queen. As I see it in you. Now Mbak looks more attractive, maybe because Mbak is always happy since Mbak with mas Gara.
"Aamiin, I feel the same way, Wi. She also hopes that one day you will find the right man, the right man, who will accept you for who you are, the man who will guide you in a better direction."
"Yes, Ma'am, thank you for the prayer. But maybe later when Dewi finds a man who wants to live with the Goddess, I will not be as lucky as Mbak Bening because Mbak himself knows, I am a disease. Even though it's much better now than it used to be, it's still because my disease likes to recur. If so, I often feel inferior, Ma'am. I often feel like I'm a burden in our family life."
"You can't say that. This life must be lived with gratitude. God creates health and also pain not without reason and purpose. If we are in pain, maybe God wants to test our patience more than other humans and never forget to be grateful again that not everyone can get to this point, he said, to the point where you can survive as you are now, not giving up on the situation, with God still faithfully giving you breath, that is something we should be grateful for, Wi. Not to mention the million other good things God has given us, we must not complain or condemn everything that happens to us, because maybe that's one of God's ways of elevating us, isn't it?"
The goddess smiled hearing the wudge from her only brother. From childhood, Dewi knew and understood the character of Bening was very wise and always a listener for him.
Just when Dewi was taking her daughter further to enjoy the warm morning sun, Bening listened to her mother call from the inside, making Bening immediately go to see her mother.
"Your phone's left inside, son. It looks like Gara's son called you earlier," his mother said, showing him the phone screen with some missed calls.
"Yes, Mom, Bening forgot to take her out. After all, Bening did not go far, just in front of here alone, because it was Bening deliberately died in the room. All right, thank you ma'am, soon Bening will call Mas Gara."
"It is better to be contacted, pity your husband is waiting for news from you. It seems like she misses seeing you soon."
"Mas, sorry, instead of Bening ignoring the phone from Mas, was Bening with the Goddess outside. We were with Mentari, walking ahead for a while." Bening started the conversation right when Gara was already in the car and was about to go to the company as it seemed.
"What a shame, Mas just misses you and wants to tell you something, so Mas wants to call you in the morning. Have you eaten?" ask Gara attentively while focusing on driving.
"Come on, Mom, Bening's been eating. Even this morning eating more," said Bening while chuckling amusedly. "Have you eaten or not?" ask Bening to her husband, because a few days ago, her mother-in-law called and told Bening that Gara often lost her appetite since Bening was in the village.
"Already, with mom and dad, baby. I just want to tell you, these three days might be going out of town because there's interest there."
"where to, Mas?" ask Bening.
"to Surabaya. Not long, dear, just three days after that Mas soon returned. "
"So this Mas want to go to the airport directly or company first or leave tomorrow?"
"The trip is today, but Mas still has activities in the office until ten, so the flight is about eleven."
"Alright, be careful, Mom. Later when you arrive in Surabaya, tell Bening."
"Of course, honey, you too yeah, take care of your health. Soon we'll meet, Mas really can't wait to see you soon and hug you."
Bening smiled hearing Gara reveal it, then their conversation was over because Gara had to go to the company immediately. He will go to Surabaya without being accompanied by his secretary because Gara does not allow his secretary to come every time he has a trip abroad or out of town.
After receiving a call from her husband, Bening again approached her daughter who was still in the arms of the Goddess. The plan is today they will go to the father's estate.
"Later Mentari left alone yes, Ning, let it be with mom here."
Bening smiled and nodded, it was indeed better for her daughter not to come along. Bening was well enough to go out of the house but he was not allowed to travel far for now. Remnants of the day in the village will be used to perform positive activities, because after ten days he will return to Jakarta and return with Gara, Gara, so Gara's good and faithful wife waited for Gara with her two children. In a few months he will be back in college. She is a happy woman, a mother with two cute children and a college student.
