Don't Cry Mother
JMB 23'S. It should be

A day with his father and his oma also made Taraka so happy. The little boy's smile continued to expand even as his father had already returned to his own nursery. Kaluna would be happy to see her son smile like that. A carefree smile could clearly be felt by Kaluna.

" Did Tara like being with Dad?" kaluna asked the son.

" Likes to like, Tara really likes to be with dad. Opa and oma were also very good," the boy replied mimicking his favorite cartoon accent of bald twin boys.

Kaluna seemed to be getting more and more convinced by the crazy idea that flashed through her brain. And maybe he really has gone crazy for having such thoughts.

Tara who saw her mother suddenly silently daydreamed became suspicious. He believes that his mother is currently in a bad state. If the look of his face like that plus his forehead is slightly wrinkled and his fingers do not stop moving, then it is certain that he is thinking about something.

" Dear, what would Tara want if I asked Tara to stay with me?"

" Is dad right? If true, Tara would. But with mom, right? Tara doesn't want to stay with dad but there's no mother."

Kaluna swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. How could he live with his former lecturer if they had nothing to do. Kaluna only rubbed her nape because she could not answer the words of the son.

" Assalamualaikum."

" Waalaikumsalam, Ciara, um, auntie?"

Kaluna was really surprised by the arrival of her cousin's sister. It is undeniable that Kaluna also missed the girl. Ciara immediately ran over and hugged Kaluna. Both crying broke. Both Kaluna and Ciara embraced each other with erta.

" Where ever, never tell. Ilang-ilangan so," said Ciara while breaking her embrace and wipe away the tears that continued to seep on her cheeks.

Kaluna simply smiled knots and grabbed Septian and Laila's hands and kissed them in turn. Septian rubbed the niece's head and Laila hugged Kaluna's body tightly. Kaluna and Ciara grew up together. He was also close to his nephew.

" Mother!"

Tara's call dissolved the familiarity of the adults. All eyes were immediately on the 5-year-old who was leaning on his bad hospital. Kaluna approached Tara followed by Ciara and her parents.

" Dear, this is Aunt Ciara and that is Tian's grandfather and Laila's grandmother. Greet everyone."

" Aunty Assalamualaikum, grandpa and granny. I'm Taraka, the most handsome of all mother's children."

Ciara was instantly hypnotized by her older sister's son. Both look familiar. With Septian and Laila. Those who only have Ciara are certainly made happy to see Tara. For a long time not hearing the babbling of children made their hearts warm to see the behavior of the little boy.

" Is everything okay Kal?"

" It's aunty, Tara's been so much better. It's just that you still have to maintain your diet and stay under the supervision of a team of doctors because the doctor said the person who received a spinal cord transplant is prone to infection."

Kaluna threw out her breath so heavily. Given this, it seems that he had to stop working because he had to intensely take care of his son. Then will he return unemployed and will only be a burden on his parents? Kaluna can't think of this.

but one thing is for sure, he will return to his parents' house. A plan about his future life is that he will leave his son to the mother to keep working. But apparently he can't go back to the LS boutique. Kaluna has already written a letter of resignation.

" Good day. I'm gonna check on Tara, hay is handsome. How you feel."

Ciara rewinds her body and sits on the sofa together with her parents, letting Taraka be examined by Doctor Nataya. Ciara is no stranger to Nataya. A few times they met to get to know each other.

" Did anyone hurt boy."

" No one, especially now that Tara has met her father. Tara's prayer was granted by Allaah, so the pain was immediately bablas deh."

Nataya smiled at the words of her nephew. He momentarily glanced towards Kaluna. The woman just looked down deeply while linking her fingers. Nataya could see the uneasiness of the mother of her nephew. Maybe Kaluna really felt bad for Ciara. Nataya could only waste her rough breathing.

" All right, all right. Excuse me first, Kal, excuse me."

Kaluna was surprised when Nataya suddenly called out to her that way. A few aats ago Nataya still called her mistress and now suddenly big sister really Kaluna did not understand. He just nodded his head with a stiff smile. While Nataya did not talk much with Ciara and her parents. He only looked down for a moment smiling and passed from Taraka's room.

" Kaluna knew Doctor Nataya?" ciara. The girl felt like Nataya knew Kaluna through the greeting that Nataya gave to her cousin's sister.

" Aah is probably because Tara was treated here so we're getting closer" Kaluna said. He became confused as to how to react to Ciara's question.

Kaluna threw out her rough breath, there was a feeling of guilt lingering in her heart. She felt like a woman who snatched the man that belonged to her sister. It was that thought that was raging within his head at this moment. Kaluna does not know if Yasa has broken off the relationship between the two.

" Mom, why aren't you here yet?"

" Dear, it's night. So Tara should sleep, tomorrow play with her father. I need to rest too."

Tara nodded obediently with everything her mother said. The boy recited the prayer and closed his eyes. Not long after Taraka fell asleep, apparently the medicine he had taken had shown a reaction.

Kaluna gave up her son's blanket and sat in front of Ciara, Septian and Laila. All eyes were on Kaluna. The woman knew that everyone in the room was curious about Tara's words.

" Are you with Kal. If that happens then it's good uncle is happy. That's how Tara needs her father, right?"

Kaluna was silent, she did not know how to respond to her uncle's words. Even the current advice he had received from both Ciara's parents.

" But ma'am, will I just forgive what the man has done. He was already so evil for being irresponsible. To the extent that you have to run away from home and raise your own children."

" Cia, it's not the man who's wrong but it's the wrong man."

Ciara squinted her eyes. If usually this is the case, the man who is the target of all the mistakes but this is his cousin's brother does not blame the man at all. Ciara certainly did not get out of thought with the mindset of the brother.

" Mom, whatever the reason he should be looking for mbak. He should be in charge of mbak and Tara."

" Yes, it should be!"

Someone came in and made everyone's eyes perfectly round.
