Let's Go!

Sometimes it's never too late to apologize to parents after what we've done without their knowledge.

"Mother," Call Bia when she just got out of the car and was immediately greeted by the figure of Almeera who was already standing on the porch of the house.

Both eyes of a mother of four children were flushed with tears there. A gaze that contained the meaning of disappointment could be seen there.

Bia understands himself to be guilty and he is also willing to bear all the consequences he has done. There's no retreat, it's never too late to admit everything.

He is guilty. He has made a decision this big. So no matter what happens, he's ready to go through it all himself.

"Daughter," Lirih Almeera then immediately hugged her daughter slowly.

A hug that felt so warm and calm. A hug that Bia had wanted so long ago. He really misses such a calming hug. A hug that is always there for him when he is in a time of sorrow or pleasure.

Tears cannot be held. Tears no one could stop him.

Neither Almeera nor Bara. Both of them cried so much. Both of them let out the grievance through the cries and hugs between the two.

"I'm sorry, Mom. Forgive Bia who has made Mom and Dad ashamed. Forgive Bia for having… "

Almeera shook her head. He gave her a sign that her son would not say that again. Honestly a mother feels pain when the figure of her husband tells everything through a short call to him.

What Bara saw. What Bara knows. All explained by Bara through his cell phone. He called his wife before they both came home.

I just don't want his wife to be surprised. Bara does not want his wife's pain to return to relapse. However, all the allegations and suspicions in Almeera and Bara made him not surprised so much more.

Especially when seeing pregnant milk at home Bia. Almeera was already wondering and suspicious about it.

"How many months?" Almeera asked her daughter slowly.

The mother of four let go of her embrace. He looked towards Bia's stomach which looked big.

"It's been eight months, ma'am," replied Bia softly.

Almeera's tears came back. He didn't expect his daughter to go through everything on her own. She did not expect her daughter to go through a difficult period of pregnancy by herself.

"May you hold it?" Pinta Meera slowly while looking at both eyes Bia with a look so sad.

"certain."

Almeera raised her hand slowly. It was seen that the mother of four's right hand was shaking. However, honestly based on Almeera's heart, she really did not expect her daughter to be able to go through a difficult period of pregnancy on her own.

Being able to hide everything from them and also take decisions of this magnitude.

Deg.

Bia's heart was racing. He felt guilty when he saw his mother and father completely accept his situation. Even the presence of grandchildren that they had never known was immediately well received.

"Healthy, Mom," said Bia with a smile despite her tears. "Although yes, Bia often has bleeding. Bia… "

"You stressed?" Guess Almeera's plan is right on target.

Bia nodded. What his mother said was true. Loves Shaka wholeheartedly. Thinking too much about the man to forget his health. Bia often sacrifices the child she bears.

But now it turns out.

Only the child he bears survives him.

Only the child that was currently growing in his stomach was with him.

"Son," Call Almeera quietly which makes Bia look up.

"Yes, Mom?"

"Your body knows everything, right? He's your marriage guardian, isn't he?" Almeera asked Bia slowly.

Bia was able to see the sadness in both of her mother's eyes. But he promised not to lie anymore. He promised to tell his family everything now.

"Yes, Mom. The brother that Bia asked to be his guardian. But even then, by force… "

"Don't continue!" Almeera said that made Bia speechless because she did not know what her mother wanted.

"Do you still love Shaka?" Almeera asked that made Bia surprised instead of playing.

"Bij… "

Almeera. He was waiting for his daughter's answer that he wanted to hear.

"Bia loves him, Mom. But, loving her hurts. Bia often even sacrificed Bia's child to defend her," Lirih Bia began to pour out everything.

"Bia was in and out of the hospital, bleeding but she always came late to visit us. Even he often doesn't care about the two of us," continued Bia slowly while looking down and wiping away the tears that were dripping at the end of her eyes.

"He doesn't want this kind of love, Mom. Bia won't come back to him again. Bia wants to forget everything" Bia said in a very desperate voice.

Almeera understands that. He grabbed his daughter's hands and held them.

"Let's go back to New York. We leave Indonesia and raise this kid there!"
