...*HAPPY READING*...
This dinner scene is in silence. Rista who usually enliven the atmosphere actually catch wind and must rest in his room. The event was set Dika with the property brought by Dedi was forced to be canceled because in addition to the condition of Rista, in fact he had been reciprocated with Rina.
"Darling, in drinking ginger angelnya." Santi brought a warm ginger drink he made for Rista who was now accompanied by Dika and Rina in his room.
Rista nodded and closed her mouth. "Not like Ma, pedes."
"Emang not good, dear, but more unpleasant if the cold is not healed right?"
Finally Rista relented and tried to open her mouth.
"Hoewk...!"
Rista closed her mouth and her nose.
"Yes...! I just wanted to vomit. Take Ma out, please."
Seeing Rista whining with teary eyes made Santi unbearable. He brought down the drink he had made.
"Aren't you given to Rista?" asked Rudi who saw his wife back with a glass that was still full.
Santi who was about to go to the kitchen spontaneously stopped his steps.
"He didn't want to, he vomited she said. Where else would not eat again." Santi grumbled as he walked back to the kitchen.
Dedi seems unconcerned in his chess game with Rudi. Actually, he had wanted to approach Rista since then, but he was reluctant because Dika was there.
Soon Santi returned and sat down next to Rudi. "Rista used to be a little wind."
"Aunty..."
"Yes." Yeah."
"At that time Rista caught a cold and because she did not like ginger eventually Dedi madein tea, honey equal lemon. But since Rista hasn't eaten yet, how about Dedi to make honey tea."
"Well, yes, too. Why can I forget that Rista hates ginger so much."
Dedi. "So far I made him chicken soup."
"That's really. The nature of honey can naturally reduce irritation so as to soothe inflammation. Honey also has antibacterial properties. The sweetness can relieve the nerve endings of the throat and reduce coughing," explained Rudi.
"Eh, where are you taking care of Rista, where are you?" santi asked with admiration because Dedi even seemed to know Rista more than he did.
"At that time, he was Tan's Olympic, so I took care of Rista."
"Yes, I made honey tea as well as chicken soup. I think there was chicken." Santi got up and went back to the kitchen.
"I'm helping Auntie." Dedi stood up and followed Santi.
The abandoned Rudi finally got up as well, and caught up with the two.
"You want to help, too, Mommy?" santi asked when she saw Rudi following her.
"You see the wife cooking, can't you?"
Santi blushed. Even so his hands were still swiftly preparing everything to make chicken soup. Meanwhile, Dedi was heating the water to make a honey tea that would be given to Rista.
It doesn't take long, honey tea for Dedi is ready.
"Bring it up, yes" Santi asked as Dedi finished stirring it.
Dedi was momentarily silent. He was still hesitant to meet Rista if there was Dika.
"If you make chicken soup Dedi aja can not Tan?" asked Dedi because he didn't want Santi to know that he was avoiding Dika.
"Keep the tea?"
"Dedi asked for help with Auntie that is what it means," said Dedi reluctantly.
"If so be I who ask for help with you son."
"Nothing Auntie. Dedi is ordinary..."
"Yes aunty." said Dedi convincingly.
Santi put the new ingredients in his wash and immediately grabbed a glass containing honey tea that he had just made.
"Auntie asked for help..."
"Every Aunt..."
Santi walked away from Dedi who was about to cook and Rudi who was just silently watching.
"Am not going up, too?" dedi asked as she started filling the pot and lit a fire.
Rudi sighed. "Can I tell you a story?"
"By Om, as long as not a horror story," joked Dedi who accompanied his laughter.
Rudi did not respond to him, making Dedi forced to stop the laughter changed with a serious face as well.
"I'm actually still hesitant to interfere too much in their lives. Although I am happy but I still feel a part of the resilience of their relationship?"
Dedi did not dare to comment. He prefers to be quiet and busy with his cooking. In addition, Dedi also does not know if Rista is the biological child of Rudi. Because even though he was close to Dika, both of them equally appreciated each other's privacy.
"Son Dedi, how is your relationship with Rista?"
Pud
Klunthang!
"Sorry to you."
Rudi's question managed to make Dedi nervous instantly. He who was cutting onions almost missed and cut his finger. Furthermore, the knife he was holding slipped and fell to the floor so nervously.
"Why you?" rudi asked when he realized Dedi's panic.
"Eng... It's okay, Om." Dedi seems to adjust the breath then to break the nervousness.
"Is there a problem?"
Dedi silent a thousand languages. There is no way I feel like telling all the same Om Rudi, I am still not ready if I get absolute opposition from this family and require me not to be in contact with Rista even though it is just as a brother.
I don't think this young man is ready to discuss this with him. Finally, he decided to start telling me about himself.
"Honestly, I love them so much even though they may not have really accepted me. I was also reluctant to have children in my marriage because I was worried about their feelings, even though this was not justified by religion." Rudi massaged the base of his nose.
"Om, how do you love without expecting anything in return for affection like Om did?"
Rudi smiled. "The love of man is the manifestation of my obedience to God, the only Merciful, Most Merciful God."
Dedi. His hands were busy moving to put one ingredient after another into the pot where the water began to boil. However, it was clear that he was living every word that had just slid from Rudi's mouth.
"Ded, do you know what kind of work I'm doing right now?"
Dedi walked to a chair not far from Rudi after closing his cooking meeting and shrinking the fire. "Om doctor, right?"
"Yes. And do you know what kind of job it is?"
"Cure the sick Om."
Rudi shakes. "All that can heal a sick person is God, and we doctors are only a handful of people who know how to heal from pain. For the sickness is from Allah, and the remedy is from Allah."
"At the beginning of my career, I was depressed because I had been misdiagnosed. And if it's not caught soon, then the patient's life is at stake."
"I wanted to stop being a doctor before I could help Restu's birth and help Santi survive on my blood."
He seemed surprised by what he had just heard, because really he does not know the internal problems in this family that make Dika used to hate Rudi very much and now suddenly can accept Rudi just like that.
"When you come into contact with a sick person, it is not only the patient who is in a dilemma, but the doctor as well. If God wants a cure, then the treatment will be smooth and the patient will recover easily. But if on the contrary, then the drug as good as anything, treatment as good as anything, as if useless. And life will leave the body easily and return to the bosom of the Creator."
Dedi.
