Must stay strong

*****

When the day was getting late. Rania finally got up and left the room. Rian, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, followed Rania with his eyes. Rani goes to the bathroom. After getting out of the bathroom Rania immediately approached him.

"Ri, are you still here?"

Rania's question took her by surprise. Rania behaved as usual. It was as if nothing had happened. He seemed to have forgotten the events of the day before. Is this normal?

"Erm, I… yes," he answered flatly. He tried to be calm.

Rania sat next to Rian. Then Rian tilted his body to face Rania, he tried to keep smiling. Although actually his heart was broken to see Rania's condition which was very worrying.

"I'm sorry… I also fell asleep while putting Clara to sleep."

'What? So I see, Rania seems to have replaced her own memory.' Rian's current estimate.

"Mmm. Anyway, Ri, let's go to the radio station some other time, shall we?"

"Why?"

"You're lazy, it's better to rest at home, you've been playing all day," said Rania.

"Okay, no problem honey."

"Oya, where's Clara? I woke up wasn't there?" Rania asked then looked around the corner of the house.

"Mama, Allan and Allen take Clara to play in the park complex."

"Ermm… ok, I'm going to take a shower first. You wait a minute, after that I'll cook for dinner."

"Ra, can you take a shower with me?" Rian whispered in Rania's ear.

Immediately Rania pushed him away until he reached the corner of the sofa.

"Iiiisss... don't expect it!" he said curtly and immediately left from there. Rian cracked a smile.

"Honey, don't you really want to take a bath together?" Rian asked a little shouting.

Rania snorted turning to him, Rian laughed. The man took a deep breath. Then he put his elbows on his knees and supported his head with interlocked fists. Mixed feelings now. How could he be able to see the woman he loves suffer like this. He couldn't, but he had to stay strong so Rania could be strong.

After finishing dinner, Rian invited Dahlia to chat again. They were now sitting in the living room, a little away from Rania's whereabouts. Allan invites Rania to accompany Kanaya to play in her room. Meanwhile, Allen was in charge of watching if his brother came out to them.

"What's wrong Rian?"

"Ma ... it's about Rania, Ma. What about the treatment so far?" he asked quietly. His body looked as if it was powerless, weak.

"Haahhh ... that's what I'm worried about, Rania doesn't want to see a psychiatrist anymore. She used to have treatment when the first symptoms appeared, but the treatment didn't finish. The reason is that she feels fine. Rania insisted, and the doctor was forced to only give her preventive medicine. only," said Dahlia sadly.

"How long has it been, Ma? Isn't that dangerous?"

"Four years. Mama has consulted her doctor. As long as Rania is happy, these symptoms will not appear. As long as she always takes her medicine regularly. The doctor has also reduced the dose of medicine and the symptoms have never appeared again until three months ago."

"Mom, Rian has already found the best doctor for Rania. In a few days, we will see her. Mommy must first tell the doctor about her condition. Rania must get well soon."

"Thank you Rian. Mommy entrusts everything to you."

"Yes, Mom. Rian promised to take care of Rania and Clara too."

"You have to be strong, I'm sure you can make Rania happy, you're my only hope now," said Dahlia sadly.

Before Rian could finish his chat, Allen came and warned them that Rania was heading there. They are also ready to change their facial expressions. Dahlia brushed the corners of her wet eyes. Rian shrugged his shoulders until he was back straight, so did Allen. Then they laughed as if they were talking about something funny.

"Did I miss something funny? Why are you all laughing?" Rania approached and sat beside her mother. While Rian was on the other side.

"I'm telling you about our first meeting."

"Is that something funny to tell?"

"Of course, you don't remember how your eyes would jump out while glaring at me!"

They laughed out loud. Rani snorted in annoyance.

"Rian!" he shouted angrily and put his hands on his hips.

They laughed again. Ranja snorted again and glared at the man. "Rian! Just watch out for stories that don't matter."

"Mommy, look... that's what her eyes used to look like. They looked like they wanted to jump off her face."

"Rian!" Rania then pinched Rian's arm from behind his mother.

"Aauu, shhhh… Mama see, Mama's future favorite daughter-in-law was pinched so red."

Dahlia shook her head and smiled at their behavior. He got up and left them alone. Better to play with his favorite grandson. Dahlia is grateful that Rian can make Rania comfortable.

"I love you, without beginning, without end. I love you because you have become a much-needed organ in my body. Without fear. Without hope. Wanting nothing in return, except that you allow me to keep you here in my heart, so that I will always be know your strength, your eyes, and your spirit that gave me freedom and let me fly." – Jamie Weise

When a loved one becomes weak due to his incompetence. That's where the power of love that has accumulated struggles to strengthen it. Light has its own way of entertaining the night from silence. So is love. Love will find its own way to strengthen its weak side. If a loved one becomes weak, then the reinforcement is his true love.

Good morning

Clara's tiny body crept up her mother's body. His habit was when he woke up, the little girl would lie down on Rania's body. Then he will put his ear right on his mother's chest. Listening to her mother's heartbeat is like listening to soothing music for her.

As usual, Rania would hug her daughter when she felt her body being crushed. He peeked through his eyelashes. He left it for a while until Clara was satisfied. The little girl smiled as her ear pressed against Rania's chest. Usually Clara would ask to be carried after Rania greeted her. Then kissed her forehead.

"Good morning… beautiful Clara."

Then Clara raised her head and spread her arms. Rania got up from her sleep, took Clara straight to the bathroom. A very unique way is not it. That little girl can change a person's mood in an instant.

"Today mom is working, honey, Cla and Oma are at home," he said while kissing his daughter's cheek.

"Em, Mommy … hurry home."

"Yes, dear. Cla don't be naughty with oma."

"Yes, Mother," the little girl nodded.

Rania is still busy bathing Clara. After being soaped and rinsed with water once, Clara was put in a tub and left to play alone. There are various toys in the round tub. While Clara bathed, Rania also took a bath.
