#Have a Heart, But No Heart
Binar bit her lower lip, she felt guilty for saying it at the wrong time, she should have waited until she was calm.
The doctor had examined Mama Mahira, the woman had now opened her eyes, she was inching to sit while holding her head that felt dizzy.
"Honey, be careful" said Papa Ardey.
"Mama." Binar approached, the doctor retreated so that Binar sat on the edge of the bed.
Mama Mahira looked at Binar with guilt. If it was like this he could not force Binar, but he did not want Binar to separate, he loved his daughter-in-law too much.
"Binar," said Mama Mahira. He clasped both hands of Binar, the coldness as if freezing his entire heart. "I'm sorry Mama, Mama let you down quite a bit" he said. All this time he had been silent pretending not to know that his son Adam ignored Binar, just because he wanted Adam to love Binar and he was sure, because time would open the heart of Adam, his son.
"Can you not ask for a divorce, pity Abra."
Binar smiled faintly, Abra does need a full-fledged parent, but what if her son saw his father loved his other son more. His heart must have hurt, Adam had not fully become a father, sometimes he ignored Abra, he only looked a few times.
"Me and Abra were a mistake, so I didn't want to ruin their relationship. Abra will get used to it without a father figure, I'm sure Ma."
"Binar, since we chose you as our daughter-in-law, you and Abra have been no mistake. We are lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you. We as parents apologize for Adam's mistake, we feel like we failed to educate him until we had to ... " Papa Ardey could not continue his words, he felt ashamed of his son-in-law and ashamed of himself.
"It's not Papa's fault, we're lucky to have parents like you and Abra is lucky to have grandparents like Mama and Papa."
Binar felt that he had a full parent since the presence of his two in-laws. He didn't have to worry about his sisters. Every month his two younger siblings will be sent monthly money and now his two younger siblings are taking high school educators.
"Binar, Papa please remain our daughter-in-law."
How Binar survived, while he and his son were not expected. "Please think of Abra, Pa, Ma. How would she feel if she saw her father with another child and another woman? he must be hurt, better he doesn't have to rely on Mas Adam."
"Would Mama rest, Binar want to see Abra first," said Binar stopped their conversation. He could not bear to see his two in-laws pleading with him. He didn't want to falter, maybe this was the best for them.
Adam immediately turned around and quickened his pace, he entered in the middle room, since he had eavesdropped on their conversation. It turned out that Binar wanted to part from him. His breathing was hot, his heart was burning. It was as if his heart refused to part with Binar.
Binar strengthened his heart to meet his son who was carried by Bi Mira. "Let me hold Abra Bi,"
"Dear,"
Binar kissed Abra's cheeks, no matter how sick she was right now. He must be strong for his son.
"Gradiance,"
Binar turned her head, she momentarily looked at that painful face, then turned to her son. As if he felt neglected, Adam came closer, he gave Bi Mira a code to leave them.
"Are you satisfied to make Mama faint and feel guilty?" ask Adam.
Binar glanced at Adam, he was so furious and didn't want to say anything.
"You dreamt of divorce, Abra my son. I have a right to her, if you keep this word up again, we'll meet in court, I'll take Abra's custody."
Deg
The heart of Binar grew increasingly sliced, his tears instantly flowing. He stared at the face he had longed for. "After you ignore us, you want to cut off my relationship with Abra? you don't feel guilty? Oh yes, you only have a heart but no heart" said Binar coldly.
Nyepus
His heart Adam felt shot with the words of his wife, now the woman in front of him as if no longer the woman he knew, who smiled warmly at him.
"It's the best, why keep the people you don't love, what for? for Abra, he can call another man his father."
Adam gritted his teeth. He immediately grabbed a hand of Binar who patted slowly bok.ong Abra. Not accepting, Binar returned Adam's gaze to her.
