Affair With My Friend's Fiance
Chapter 18's

Aleena froze on the spot, watching the woman she loved deeply now lie stiff. For a moment it was like losing the world, the void now filled his soul so as to cry even he could not.

It was too sudden, the mother left so quickly. No farewell, no message and no goodbye.

"Mama surrender? you'd rather go and leave Aleena? you don't want to fight with Aleena to heal? mama said she'd stay by Aleena's side until she had a lot of grandchildren." Aleena whispered with eyes that slowly blurred, her soul that had floated swayed slowly back into her body. Makes Aleena feel real devastation, pain and pain.

All in vain, their struggle must end before it can begin.

"Let mama go Aleena, I don't want to accept a kidney donor from you. Mama's daughter must be healthy with complete organs." Their chatter last night was still ringing in Aleena's ears. The girl did not expect God to meet her mother's expectations. Mama Rossa chose to leave before the operation was carried out after being treated for one week.

"Why should my mother always sacrifice? why don't you give Aleena a chance to repay all your sacrifices all along? now what should Aleena do? Aleena was alone and had no one. Aleena how to live her life ahead ma? Aleena was afraid, why did mama leave Aleena alone" the girl complained softly, her tears were now scattered along with her chest that was increasingly tight.

Aleena spread her head over the chest of the woman she loved so much with all her soul. There was no scream, only a roar could be heard from the girl's lips. His body is weak as if boneless, if you can ask him to participate with mama Rossa. Aleena felt the world was so cruel to her own living.

"Your mother is happy, she doesn't feel pain anymore. He was healed" Whispered Ivan who was so sorry to see Aleena who looked so fragile. The sorrow was so thick felt from the look in Aleena's eyes that it lost its radiance.

Ivan and Aleena were at school when her assistant Aleena reported that Rossa was suddenly critical. It was fortunate that Ivan saw a panicked Aleena running towards the parking lot so that the man could drive Aleena to the hospital. Ivan could not imagine if he was not on Aleena's side, somehow Aleena felt if she had to face everything alone. Although it didn't help much at least he could make sure that the girl would be fine as long as she was by Aleena's side.

"Tell me what's wrong until God punishes me like this? mama is the only treasure I have in this world and now God is taking it. Tell me what to do?" ask Aleena pilu.

"Blessed is Aleena, live well. Although mama did not have time to see but realize your promise to give mama a lot of grandchildren"

Mama Rossa's words were ringing in Aleena's ears. All that mama Rossa said last night seemed to be a sign that she was leaving soon. Aleena regretted that she should not have gone to Pelita Harapan today, she should have been able to accompany her mother in her last seconds.

"So morning my mother's condition was stable, but why did she suddenly leave? why did you leave Aleena without saying goodbye. Mama should have waited for Aleena first, mama should have given Aleena permission to go" and Aleena could have made sure she never would have allowed it. Is that why the mother chose to leave when Aleena was not around?

"Calm Aleena, your mama would be very sad to see you like this. We need to take care of your mama's body"

"Did mom really go? don't you just sleep sir." A sudden smile rising on Aleena's lips made Ivan even more worried.

"Mama? mom just sleeps, right? mama wants to play Aleena like we used to do. Mama can't possibly leave Aleena, right? mama knew Aleena was most afraid of being alone" said the girl, shaking her body.

"Aleena realize, your mama's really gone. Don't hinder his steps with this attitude of yours" Ivan said as he hugged Aleena's body from behind. He could not bear to witness Aleena's sadness at this time. He understood how sick Aleena felt because she had experienced this 5 years ago. Left for good by the one he loved so much.

But Ivan was more fortunate because he still had papa, so he always tried to make his papa happy. Ivan always complied with all the man's requests even though it sometimes went against his conscience. He does not want to regret when the father is no longer in this world.

"But mama can't bear to leave me alone sir" Now Aleena felt her body completely floated, the darkness greeted her gnawing at her consciousness. He still heard Ivan's faint cries as his surroundings turned darker.

Aleena was still stunned to lay her head hugging the red earth mound that became the final resting place of her beloved woman.

He was completely unprepared for this situation, it was too painful for him to accept. She took the mother to her final resting place she never imagined before and now she is forced to feel and accept it. It is heavy and not easy.

"We're home" Ivan rubbed Aleena's back. There was only him, Rania and Aleena who were separated at the funeral while the mourners had left the place after the funeral procession was over.

Ivan did not care at all about Rania's mistressful gaze for all her attention to Aleena. The girl even asked Ivan where he was at Aleena's house upon his arrival at the house of the girl he called his best friend.

I don't know what kind of response Rania would have if she knew that Ivan for a week always accompanied Aleena to look after her mother who was being treated.

"Let's go home Al, it's uda afternoon. Soon enough to rain" Rania persuaded Aleena. Ivan doubted Rania's sincerity as the girl tried to shake off her hand that rubbed Aleena's back with her eyes staring intently.

"You guys go first, I still want to be here" Aleena said in no way to change her position.

"Don't be selfish Al, we can't leave you alone here. But we also can't keep you. We are also tired" Ivan really cursed the words of Rania who has no empathy at all.

Aleena raised her body with a forced, although Rania's speech was so painful but there was a truth to it as well. Aleena can't involve anyone else in her distress.

"Mama, Aleena go home first. Happy mom is there. Aleena dear mama" Aleena kissed mama Rossa's headstone before stepping to drag her body that felt so limp walking away from the place.
