Another Chance
Chapter 12

Samantha—ibu Nio grabbed the body of the granddaughter who was playing with her mother, immediately crying and trying to rebel with her hands fixed on Zoya.

"Mom! What the fuck, anyway! Restore Rasya. It was a pity to cry" Nio said, trying to reach the child but being held back by his mother.

"No! Are you crazy? Why you give your babies to this annoying woman!" exclaimed Samantha stared dislike her daughter-in-law.

Zoya's eyes were round hearing it. Whahuh? The annoying? Patience, Zoya, her mind calms down.

"Mamaa." Rasya continued to cry to be carried by his mother.

"My boy, don't cry. This is Boy with Oma. Usually always happy." Samantha kept trying to calm the crying granddaughter.

"Mom, Rasya wants to be with his mother. Return, Mom!" yuk Nio who was upset with her mother's behavior.

"Mamaa." The baby continued to cry from the grandmother's arms.

Unable to see his son who continued to cry, Nio finally took Rasha from his mother, then gave it to his wife.

"Dear Mama, don't cry." Zoya calmed Rasya who was hugging her neck.

"Do you realize who you're giving your child to?" ask Samantha cynically. The Belgian woman did not like her daughter-in-law. Which mother would be willing to hurt her child especially when she knew how her granddaughter was being treated harshly. Samantha repeatedly asks Nio to divorce Zoya, but her son never complies.

Samantha hears of Zoya's change from Jessica who is always telling the news, but she is distrustful of the young woman's change. He could have been acting to take all the property of his son. Zoya is a cunning woman who only spends her child's money.

"She's her real mother, Mom. He deserves to be close to his son. Just like Mommy and me, right?" tanya Nio looked gently at the mother.

"Mommy loves you, but that woman? Even your son is often harmed by her," Samantha quipped that made Zoya bow. The young woman was self-aware that her previous treatment of the child was outrageous.

"Zoya wants to change, Mom. He deserves that chance" Nio said again trying to explain to his mother.

"Mommy still doesn't believe him" said Samantha. "Therefore, Mommy will stay here as long as you give My Boy to her. Mommy's worried about Mommy's granddaughter."

"What's? Mommy wanna stay here?" ask Nio in disbelief. "No, Mommy knows I don't like it when my house gets mixed up."

"I don't care. Jessica's! Put my suitcase in my room." Without hearing the child's ravings, Samantha went into her room there. Leaving Zoya is also Nio who looks bad on his wife.

"Sorry" Nio looked at his wife.

Those in-laws don't get along. Both of them are equally stubborn so that every meeting is always a bump that makes Nio's head very dizzy. But now, Zoya tries to be more silent to the babbling of the mother-in-law because she knows, the attitude of her husband's mother is so bad solely because of Zoya's own attitude. Which mother is not hurt when her proud child is wasted even her grandson is hurt. That's why Zoya is silent when the in-laws talk about her.

Nio smilingly rubbed his wife's arm and clasped her hand. "Thank you for giving up" said the man.

"I'll change, Mom. I will try to show you that I am worthy of being Rasya's mother."

Nio is getting closer. He hugged Zoya's waist until the woman gasped. "Just be Rasya's mother?" tanya Nio whispered, making the beautiful woman misbehave.

"I-I mean Mas a-what?" zoya asked, looking embarrassed at Nio.

"Wouldn't she be my wife? Yes, in our country and religion, we are husband and wife. But, you know very well our relationship is not worth a husband and wife. Is this change for Rasya? Not for me, too?" nio asked softly with a hopeful look.

Hearing that Zoya could only bite her lower lip. With a slow movement, he let go of the husband's embrace. "I'm going to the room. It's Rasya's time for a nap." He also passed away leaving Nio who was looking at him full of disappointment. She thinks Zoya is changing not just for Rasya, but for her as well. However, she realizes that Zoya's love was never for her.

Nio leaned his body against the wall. Closing her eyes felt the pain she felt back in her chest.

In her room, Zoya was crying. Nio's words were like a dagger to her. Does she deserve to be a wife to a good man like her? Even her body had been touched by a man who was not her husband. "How could I not know that she is your real wife, Mom? I don't deserve you."

Zoya looked at her son who was now also staring at her. He rubbed that puffed cheek with love. Both are lying down now. "Does Mama deserve your papa, son? Mama really feels contempt for her side by side" he told the boy.

"Mamaaa, Papaaaa," Rasya's chatter made Zoya warm up.

"How could Mama hate you, honey? You are so amazing. Thank you for giving Mama the chance to be with you. Mama dear Rasya." With tears in her eyes, Zoya hugged the child tightly.

The young woman is now only focused on taking care of and giving love to her son. As for his relationship with Nio, he really felt unworthy. Let the man seek a woman more worthy than himself. Let their relationship be as distant as ever.
