A Pair of Space Wings
Don't Make the Same Mistake

In the room of an old married couple, Delia and Abian. They are preparing to want to sleep, Delia is just finished with a routine of caring for her face at night, Abian is solving her company's problems that are almost finished. The defectors, namely Axel supporters, he has given his last salary, while the problem with Axel, he believes Axel will spend the rest of his age in bars.

Delia got on the bed, sat next to her husband holding the latest flat object.

"Hi" said Abian smiling at his perfumed wife. "You smell so good."

Delia blushed in embarrassment, afraid of being discovered if she was on her way. "You're still a long time?" she asked a little peek at what her husband was doing.

"A little more," said Abian continued his typing, before long he clicked the turnoff button to turn off the tablet that had accompanied him.

"Why are you smiling like that? Suspicious," he poked at the waist of the ignorant wife.

"No papa," said Delia, "emm, Bi. Do you agree that I'm dating Space's friend Denisa?"

Abian frowning. "Why really? Our son is handsome like me, there's no way he can't find his own soul mate."

"Not so, I heard that Space and the Clouds are fighting over Arum, I'm not just Arum."

"Mentioned Arum? Didn't you say, Awan likes Reini?"

"Yes, but I don't know why the Clouds suddenly like Arum. Reini thing they never make a fuss, why is Arum so their scramble?" delia complained to her husband. "Arum and Reini are both beautiful, but Arum who will hear there was a relationship with Alex, means he is not virgin anymore donk," said Delia.

As a mother, it was only natural that she expected her children to get a good partner for them.

Abian took both of his wife's hands, in his arms.

"Honey, you can't be like that, you're a girl, Arum's a girl. And we have a daughter. Our hearts cannot interfere. I believe Cloud and Space can make good decisions, can choose a good partner for them too. Let the choice be in their hands, as parents we can only support what has become their decision," Abian said trying to give understanding to his beloved wife.

"Arum may have a bad past in our opinion, but we don't know what he's been through. You know thanks to him the company saved, he's been taking high risks all along, maybe he's been under a lot of stress in his life that we don't know."

Delia's weakened shoulders did not get the support of her husband.

"But if I try to introduce Space to Denisa's friend, okay? just recognize, their case is suitable or not, yes we leave it to them," he said still cool with the founder who tried to match Angkasa.

Abian can only breathe. Is this his wife asking permission, or just telling?

"As for you, the important thing is not to force Space, if he does not want to, you must accept the decision of Space."

Delia smiled as she was, she was sure of her match.

"Two days away from the twins' birthday, I'll take the girl to their birthday party later, as well as make the engagement of Awan with Reini. I want them to marry together" Delia said enthusiastically.

"Loh, instead of saying you were Cloud and Space fighting over Arum, that means the Clouds like Arum, why do you even want the Clouds to be like fiancee Reini?"

Delia. Abian just shook his head.

"Don't let your heart be covered with what isn't necessarily the truth, it's impossible to ask the vir-"

Eumpphhh

Abian's lips were silenced by his wife's lips. "You can't say that" he said. But then Abian pulled the nape of his neck, smearing his lips deep, until a hot kiss was created, and ended up making the dough of grandchildren.

Another mother, another one done.

Everyone has a past, but not everyone is aware of their mistakes.

"It's done with the dough?" tanya Nining approached Arum in the kitchen, a simple kitchen with only a stove table, an oven, a refrigerator, and some kitchen utensils that only Arum needed.

"Already, Ma," replied Arum looking back, Nining standing beside him.

"You're so excited, when Mama didn't help you."

"Arum's desire to live together with Mama has been achieved. So, what else did Arum think?"

Nining smiled bitterly, even though her son's wishes were only simple. He used to be too pure in Dikdik to blind his eyes, to set aside the happiness of his only child, even let the man who is not the biological father of his child, do violence to Arum.

She is the luckiest mother to have a child as strong as Arum, willing to be nailed however, Arum still stands tall on its founder. It's just that Arum was bent when plugged into the wall of Alex's heart, so that his life was increasingly unguided. But it looks like Arum is no longer stuck in Alex's heart, someone has pulled it from there.

"Tomorrow wake up Mama yes, Mama want to help you wrap up and open the store."

"No, Ma. Mama just rest, Arum does not want Mama soybean."

"Mama from yesterday has just rested, you go everywhere yourself, do nothing yourself. Having a Mom is like not having a Mama."

Arum closes the dough place with plastic wrapping. Arum looks very senile with the changes of his mother who wants to help him and talk to him, what is the cause?

"Would you really help Arum?" Nining nodded.

"Then we rest now," Arum took the mother's shoulder to the room.

The ceiling of the room becomes a sight for everyone who is thinking about what they will reveal to each other. Arum and Nining are still stiff to start the conversation, because they rarely reveal their heart from heart to heart.

Breathing sounds came out of their breathing apparatus, the two looked at each other and smiled realizing what they were doing.

"Is there anything Mama wants to say?" ask Arum first.

Nining smiled, back at the ceiling of the room. Then strands of word for word he revealed, the initial story if she was pregnant out of wedlock, Arum's biological father who first left them when they were not yet legally religious or state, he said, great love and desire do not guarantee that one can unite, if the owner of the body does not approve.

"Mommy's ashamed to admit this, Rum. Pardon Mama," Nining sagged with unstoppable tears. "You're a victim of Mama's selfishness. If Mama has the spirit as great as you, maybe Mama chose to raise you alone, but Mama is too cowardly, afraid not to have enough fortune. Though every creature that breathes has its own fortune, but which is tempted by the luster of the world

Although he already knew the reality of Dikdik, but Arum could not stem the rush of tears, hearing the confession from his own mother.

He forgave his mother.

"Rum, would you like to forgive a dishonest Mom from the very beginning? Mama is also afraid you are sad at school, your friends have papa, while you are not. Mama can't answer your question, Rum."

Arum turned his head to the side, where Nining also looked towards him. "Arum has forgiven Mama since Arum knew that Arum only had Mama" Arum replied. Both cuddle.

"From your experience, I hope you don't repeat the same mistake, Rum. Afraid that our soul mate is not the one we want. And God planned another."

Arum nodded, rubbed his wet cheeks and eyes, then wiped away his mother's tears. Nining was convinced that Arum was doing it for her.

In the morning, while Arum was busy with his bread parcel, Arum had an uninvited guest.

"Is this in the name of Ms Citra Arum Pratiwi?" ask a trucker.

"It's really myself" replied Arum.

"Sorry, Mom. We can have the mandate to deliver these items to Bu Arum's house" he said, showing Arum a letter of the road. Arum's eyes widened as he read one by one the name of the goods that came.
