Discarded After Childbirth

Discarded After Childbirth
Chapter 22 - Maafin Gea


Finished from walking around delivering the cake, Gea rested her body and played her phone. He read the message he got from Gaza. The contents of the message say that David visited his parents' house for some reason. But Gaza thinks David has a bad plan.


"Oh my God, why did David visit the mother and father at home? I actually miss my mom and dad. But ... I can't tell all this. I'm afraid they'll be sad. Oh my God, how is this? What am I supposed to do?"


Gea was worried about her choice of heart. But, if you constantly delay the story. Want to get to when?


With all the courage that exists. Gea decided to call her mother. The first call was missed.


"What does this mean, today is not the right time for me to tell?" thought Gea.


Gea made the second call and was picked up. A soft voice from her mother greeted.


"Hello, who is this?" ask Gea's mother.


Gea was silent. Somehow hearing his mother's voice, Gea's eyes became teary. It was as if all the sadness he was going through wanted him to spill right now. He wanted to tell me everything there was his mother.


"Hello, you're on the wrong side?"


This time Gea's cries broke just like that.


"Well, how about a cry?" ask the astonished mother.


Gea hasn't said anything yet. He just let out his cry. But it looks like his mother knew that the one who called was Gea.


"Sir! Astaghfirullah, why are you, son?"


"I-mom .. "call Gea in a stammering tone.


"M-maafin Gea Bu .." added Gea again.


"Sorry why, son? Do you have the same fault as Mom?"


Hearing those words, it even made Gea's cry even more broken.


God, do I have to tell you right now?


"Son, try to tell mom slowly. What are you feeling?" ask mom again because Gea never answered mother's question.


"Gea's divorced, ma'am" Gea said.


For a moment there was no response from my mother. Maybe I was surprised by what he said. Moreover, David just visited my mother's house yesterday.


"If you speak do not carelessly Ge. Pamela! That word is prayer."


"Hiks .. hiks ... Gea doesn't talk to anyone. Gea is divorced."


"But how can it? Your husband came to your house yesterday. He didn't say anything like that to my mother. Ge, don't worry me."


"Mom, Gea doesn't know where to start. The point is Gea and mas David are divorced and Gea's son is brought the same mas David, hiks ... "


"Mommy is not calm, listen to your words Ge. Where are you now? I'm gonna see you."


"Gea in Malang Bu, all this time Gea lived in the area. But the house that used to be the same Gea Mas David occupied was already sold. So Gea's renting a contract now."


"Astaghfirullah."


Mom's mind is not good. He wants to see his son soon. Somehow his heart said, if the problem is not as easy as what his son said.


"Did you have money?" ask Gea.


"The money problem is easy. I can pawn the paddy fields in the next village."


"Mother ... "


"Mom will be ready anyway."


Gea was still crying. Even after he told me that he was divorced. His mother did not scold him but rather he wanted to visit Gea and see his condition. Gea became even more sad.


Until the phone call stops. Gea hugged the bolster to hide her face that had been watering ever since.

Finished the call with Gea, Mother immediately put some clothes in her bag. The father who had just come home from work was astonished to see the strange behavior of the mother.


"Loh Ma'am? Where you going?" ask Father Gea.


"You go to Malang, you meet Gea, sir."


"Again with David there? Why so impromptu? Why don't you tell me from yesterday?" ask the Father who assumes it himself.


"Not Pa. I'm going there myself. Gea called mom. He said he was divorced from David. My mother was in shock to hear it. I can't relax if I haven't seen Gea. I don't know why my heart and mind don't feel like a new pa."


"Astaghfirullah, are they divorced, Mom? Son of David youh yesterday said mom dropped by the house."


"Mom doesn't know pa either. Anyway mom wants to go to Malang, want to see Gea," kekeh mother who wants to go see Gea.


"Yes, let's go there together. The father also can not calm down, if the mother goes with this mood. How to cry again."


Both of Gea's parents were dressed to be taken to Malang. Done that, they both ask for help to residents who have a car in the village to be delivered to the terminal.


Not to forget, the mother also asked about Gea's divorce to Gaza. Surely, the man already knew, only he would have been asked by Gea not to tell his mother. Mother also told me that she was on her way to Malang. Gaza also helped the mother, ordering her man to pick up the mother and father at the terminal and deliver them to Gea's contract.

A car stopped in front of Gea's contract. At first, Gea was astonished, but when she saw the man coming out of the car she cried. His mother and father really found himself to be willing to leave their activities in the village.


Mother immediately hugged Gea who was standing at the door crying. He rubbed his daughter's head slowly. He did not ask the problem directly. I want to make Gea calmer first.


The father embraced Gea and mother. Times like these that Gea misses. He felt guilty, because he had been hiding his problem all this time.


"M-sorry Gea Pa, Mom ... "
