A Substitute
Visiting the mama

Hotel

"Well, how's mom doing now? Do you still think about the bad guy?" rea asked when he had arrived in the hotel room where his mother Grace was now living.

Rea gave flowers to the mother, not to forget he also put some snacks on the table in the hotel. He sat next to the mother who was looking at him with a smile on his wrinkled face.

"Mama's fine, baby. My mom doesn't think about this guy anymore. Mama only thinks about your happiness," Grace replied as she gently rubbed her daughter's pretty face. Guilt always seeped in her heart, making Grace always cry in her solitude.

Rea seemed to sigh rough, he looked at the mother long enough, until he finally opened his mouth and said. "Don't think of my happiness, mah. Think of your own happiness. I'm happy enough even though I've lost my memory. At least, I didn't lose my mother, the woman who had given birth to me." Rea hugged her mother from the side, sadness Rea clearly felt at this moment. Given the treatment of her mother's husband some time ago, made Rea's chest feel very tight. Although Rea did not remember about her mother before, but as a child, she would definitely feel pain if she saw the woman who had given birth to her being treated badly by someone else.

Grace smiled wryly, she again rubbed the tops of her daughter's head gently and affectionately. He wanted to make amends for his past mistakes, he wanted to make his daughter feel the warmth of a mother, even though it was a little late. But Grace will make amends. "Thank you dear. You won't lose your mom, baby. From now on, you will always be by your side. Accompany you until you are old. I'm sorry, because of Mama... "

"Mahs.... Don't talk about the past anymore, okay. Forget all about the past, because it will make you feel guilty about me again, right? So, better, now we think about how our next life will be." Rea interrupts the mother's words that she believes will lead to her past. Rea did not want her mother to feel guilty again because her mother had wasted herself.

Grace sighed rough, she then smiled as she gently rubbed the beautiful face of the princess only wayangnya. "Mama won't bother you two. It's better to stay here, or you'll find a small contract for your mama to live in." His words sounded soft. Grace did not want to burden her daughter and son-in-law. He wanted to live alone, and also wanted to find work to support himself. But, what job? Who needs a worker who is no longer young?

Hearing the mother's words, Rea shook her head. "Mahs... Don't talk like that. I'm your daughter, I don't feel burdened if you live with me and Teo. I feel so happy when Mom lives with us. Anyway, if you keep staying at this hotel, or you contract somewhere else, how can I look after you? How do I know if my mom is sick? How can I take care of my mom?" Rea said with a hand that kept her hand warm.

Rea does not want her mother to live alone, because at this time the mother is the only family she has other than Teo. So, Rea had to take good care of her mother.

"Well, if you love me, stay with me. But, if mama does not love me, mama can stay here until anytime. Teo paid for this room for my mom. So then.... "

"Your husband paid for this hotel room? But, didn't my mom already... "

"Yes, mah. Teo who paid for this hotel room, and the money that mama gave me to pay for this hotel bill, is still safe not to be disturbed in the slightest. So, you can use that money for your mom's own cravings." Rea interrupted his unfinished mother's speech. The girl did not ask Teo to pay the bill for the hotel room, but it was Teo who took the initiative himself. Because after all, Grace was her father-in-law, so it was only natural that Teo was kind and caring about Grace.
