Still Wishing He Back?

Still Wishing He Back?
6. Wisdom Have it


The fruit born from my womb is an angel full of new hope for me. Gently look at the toddler child with love and affection. Airin tries to live her second life after having a child at her young age.


It's not easy, of course, considering this is something beyond his shadow. Had felt severe stress, even depression because of having to take care of a newborn child alone in the country of people, making its own burden for him, to almost give up to continue life.


"It's Arkana, that's great." Rahma who joined to see the son of his nephew who was sleeping soundly after a long trip from Australia.


"Yes, though he had been confused about what to name her before." Airin replied, who had calmed down completely now, after crying non-stop after her aunt's home.


"Good, the meaning of the name is also very good. How old is he now?" Rahma softly rubbed her nephew.


"Two years." Answer Airin.


"You must have trouble taking care of it alone there, especially you have to go to college as well. But, is it all right about your college there? you're a scholarship boy?" Ask aunt again.


Airin fell silent, she hesitated to answer him, and somehow her expression turned sad to hear the question from her aunt. "I wanted to give up because I was embarrassed by my condition, I locked myself up and did not do much activity, but I chose to continue my studies even though I had to lose my scholarship, because I have to take a leave of absence when I want to graduate, and I can't tell you why I left." Airin later.


"It must be hard to take time off when you want to graduate, take care of young children without the help of anyone, even to lose the scholarship. But, why don't you try to tell auntie? That way your aunt can help you." Said the aunt felt sorry for the fate of her nephew.


"I took 2 years off to raise Arka, while working part-time for living expenses there, although at first I wanted to quit college because I could not, especially after hearing my scholarship was revoked, so not more excited even though somewhat regretting it. However, since it was my best friend who kept pushing me to continue college, I ended up continuing, they also helped me during the hard time raising Arka." Obviously Airin remembered the moment of his struggle in Australia.


"Good God, it's so lucky you get to meet such good friends, aunty so want to thank them." Timpal aunty who felt overwhelmed by the kindness of Airin's friend.


"Yes, I'm lucky to know them. I felt not alone there, because of their help, although not much they helped because they were both students, but I felt helped enough, he said, because sometimes they help me to accompany Arka when I go to college." Airin.


Rahma looked pensive to hear the story of her nephew, feeling concerned but also happy because she did not give up.


"I'm sorry bi, about Airin who couldn't tell aunt before, it's because Airin was embarrassed to aunt with my condition at the time, even if later auntie finds out that I'm not going to college anymore, surely auntie will be sad and disappointed with Airin." He apologized to his aunt.


"Although so, how could you not tell aunt at all, why are you fighting alone there when your aunt is still there." Reply Rahma who felt sad because she did not help her nephew much.


"I'm sorry bi, back then I really messed up. I was confused and frustrated when I faced it, especially when I remembered.." Airin was silent for a moment, as if unable to continue his sentence, "Father from Arka who could not also be contacted." Then, with a sad expression.


Rahma let out a long sigh, her expression seemed annoyed if she remembered the father of Arka who had disappeared without news and left Airin alone. However, even so Rahma could not just evaporate it sometimes, because anyway Airin also had a mistake, because he had done the stupid thing, because he had done it, especially with people he just knew no more than 1 year.


"You were your student at the drop, so how did you finance your college and your life there? Especially raising Arka too?" Rahma asked then, trying to shift her sense of regret to the current situation.


"That's.." Airin seemed hesitant to tell her aunt the truth, until she hesitantly paused what she had said before, "I sell her gifts that I live in her apartment." Answer Airin.


"I was frustrated because I never heard from him, even his phone was not active, so I returned to his apartment, hoping I could meet him, but nil. The apartment was empty, although I repeatedly pushed the apartment button, there was no word from the residents in it. I was so frustrated, I pushed the cipher button." Airin.


"And you managed to push the button? How come?"


"I don't know either, because he never told me before, but somehow I remembered what he said if I couldn't remember a password that was too complicated, that's why I'm trying to put our date in, and I don't think it's gonna work, even if it's the wrong experiment." Reply Airin who also did not believe in the miracle.

"Woi Arka, don't go far away from her, it's hard to hear." Shouting Dava saw Arka who was too excited to run around the park without stopping.


"Come on, go after Arka." Shouted Arka, at Dava who was sitting watching him play.


"If you catch him, Arka should kiss Dava." Dava ran after Arka, making Arka immediately run away from Dava who began to approach him.


The two ran cheerfully while playing a chase. Arka's happy face playing with Dava at the park near his house, as well as Dava who looks so patient and attentive in serving Arka.


"Udah ah, o'm tired of it." Dava said he felt unable to follow the rhythm of speed and slackness of the super active Arka. He sat down limp after spinning more than three times to chase after Arka who kept running and dodged from him.


"Ah suck," Ledek Arka who walked over to the exhausted Dava with a little ngosan.


"Caught it." Said Dava hugging Arka who walked memorizing himself.


"Ah. don't want to, um Dava cheated." Rebellious Arka who wants to escape from Dava's arms.


"I can't, Arka's caught up with Dava, so it's time to go home."


"Don't want to, Arka still wants to play." Rengek Arka who does not want to go home.


"Can't dong, it's already evening, will be scolded by your mama you know." Dava said, making Arka finally complied to go home.


They went home, and Dava chose to hold Arka who wanted to run away from him, because he still wanted to play and did not want to go home


"You guys out of the game, huh?" Greet someone upon their return from the garden.
