Kayla sat back down after I asked her gently. This time I have to be able to act mature in order to be an example for my sister later. No matter how many mistakes Mami made in the past, she did it for good reason.
I can't blame Mami completely. Just like Mas Adam who chose to stay with Astri instead of maintaining our marriage.
From there I understood and realized that the feeling could not be forced. For whatever time we are with him, if there is no love it will only feel empty and free.
"Mommy... It's been enough for me to hate Mami for a dozen years. I really have let out all my anger and hatred as time goes on. Wounds must be left, but love will always be there. Moreover, in my blood also flows Mami's blood." I explained with all wisdom.
"Son.." - Mami cried out with tears.
"Kaila... No matter what your father looks like, you're still my brother. We are from the same womb. Don't hate Mommy anymore. Didn't Mami herself fight to continue to conceive and give birth to you safely?" I tried to convince Kayla.
"Yes, Kay. Mami fought hard to be able to return to Indonesia in a state of being pregnant. My mom didn't have money at the time. Thankfully there was Leon. She gives Mami some money because Mami helps her escape from the pursuit of a woman who is crazy about her. With that money Mami came home and gave birth to you. When Mami intends to leave you at the orphanage, the grandmother who became Mami's maternity helper is willing to take care of you wholeheartedly and consider you as her granddaughter. Mami also told him not to keep anything secret about Mami to you. Mom wants you to know everything. Stay waiting or hate Mami, it's your decision.
Because Mami's financial condition is not possible, since you were three months Mami left. Mami anywhere and work anything from Mami get money to send to the grandmother who takes care of you. Know, son, not a penny of money that Mami sent to your biaay from illicit labor. Mommy doesn't want, the fragrance runs on your blood. Mami only thinks about how you can live properly.
Not that Mami isn't worried about your sister, but your sister's life is guaranteed because she has a responsible father who loves her so much." Mami explained everything to Kayla.
The girl looked at Mami fiercely and her eyes were twinkling.
"Why do you have to leave your son and husband for that jerk? If you don't go, I can't be there. My life will not be like this!" Kayla screamed hysterically and cried there.
Oh God. Was it so heavy of a burden on the little girl? Was it that hard all this time he tried to forget and try to live well? Means, my fate is no luckier than her because at least I have a father as my protector. True, the father figure is the first love of his daughter. And a father figure can also be the cause of the worst heartbreak for his daughter.
It happened to both of us. Having a different father despite being the same mother. Our fate is also much different. It is not too late to fix everything. But he is my brother, after all.
Although I know, all my father's possessions can't be shared by me for two, at least I can help take care of and finance his education. He can manage some of my business.
"Kayla, it's all been part of destiny. We can't blame Mommy. Don't you want to be in that position either? If Mami knew it would be so, surely Mami would not have stepped onto the wrong path. We never know how fate will bring our lives to a later date." I told Kayla.
Kayla was speechless. He was still pondering what I just said. Maybe you are worried and worried at the moment. I don't want to force Kayla. Let him decide his own choice. I'm sure he's old enough to understand all this.
"I told you it wasn't necessary. I'm looking for you because I feel familiar with you. Can you open that mask? I want to see your face clearly." I replied sincerely.
Despite his hesitation, Kayla finally opened her hat and mask. Long black hair beautifully rolled up to the waistline. His tiny face with a pointed nose was the same as mine. This girl really is 90% similar to me. Is this what we call destiny? It comes from the same womb, though it lives apart and has never known each other before.
"I've known about my sister for a long time. I even know that my sister just got divorced. That guy's a bastard. I knew from the beginning about the affair. But.." his words were cut off.
"I don't care about that anymore. Let it all be the past. Now I want to start a new life. Living my life that had tripped over a big rock, now it has been released and can walk freely," I tried to cover my chest and did want to forget everything.
"Can I be like you, brother?" kayla asked with her face covered with tears.
"Of course you can. And it should be. Now, the three of us. Our strength is great and strong to face all the problems that are to come. Provenance... We hold hands with each other. Please forgive Mama. We're opening a new chapter in this life."
Mami still remained silent and looked at us in turn. Mommy may no longer have the vocabulary to be expressed or talked about. All Mami's been spilling since the beginning of meeting earlier. All this is heavy for me. But it must be heavier for Mommy.
She was separated from the two daughters she gave birth to. I'm sure Mami feels tormented every day between the laughter of happiness she lives. Despite all that, many people who look happy are actually the ones who hold the deepest wounds in their hearts.
"Darling... Mami apologized for abandoning both of you. That's all Mami can say. Even though an apology is never enough. The day after tomorrow, Mami will go back to London with Leon. And... Mommy will never come back and ruin your life again!" mami said with a serious face.
I was surprised to hear Mami's words. My heart doesn't feel like it if Mami leaves again in my life.
"Don't leave my life again... Mami.." said Kayla suddenly adding to my surprise.
For the first time since then, I heard Kayla calling Mami Mami Mami. Maybe his heart has fallen? Kayla can forgive Mami completely.
"Kay... Call Mommy again, son. That's your first call to Mami after 15 years." ask Mami with a quivering voice and teary eyes.
"Mommy... Don't ever leave again. L'm... I have forgiven Mommy. Don't leave me again. Come on, we live well with Aqila's sister too!"
As soon as we both ran to where Kayla was sitting. Mami and I hugged the body of the little girl with the eyes. The three of us were crying in our arms. Eventually, all of these problems were almost resolved.
