My best friend Maduku
Chapter Hundred Nine

"Darken.. "call someone.

Melati turned her head towards the entrance of her shop, the origin of the call. Look Mama Lani and behind her there is Lani who took her son Bobby.

"Mama." said Melati running around hugging the woman she loved so much like her own mother.

"Mela, mama is very upset" said mama while rubbing the back of Melati who was in her arms.

Lani who was behind mama just silently looked at Melati and her mother who hugged released longing while shedding tears.

"I'm sorry mom, son"

"Mama there's nothing wrong, why do you have to apologize "say Melati still hugged Mama Lani.

After quite a long hug, Melati let go of the hug and clasped the hand of the woman who looked very thin from the last time she met.

"Ma, we're going into Mela's dugout. Let it be better to talk" said Melati brought mama in.

"Pa, let's go inside. Lani. let's go in" muttered Melati slowly.

After letting everyone sit on the sofa in her break room, Melati came out for a while.

"Mira, I don't want to be bothered in the next few hours. If anyone wants a message, you can handle it yourself. Thank you yes"

"Good mbak "

Melati went back into the break room with two plates of cake.

"Ma, wait a minute. Make water first"

"Not bother, kid, just plain water"

"Ma, where there's a mama troubling her son just for making a glass of water. "

"Well Mel, but as usual, you don't want to be too sweet"

"Ma, just calm down. Mela still remembers kok" said Melati to the kitchen making tea for mama and Lani and coffee for papa.

When he finished, Melati served him.

"Mela, papa was made coffee, now make it again, later papa can drink a lot of diabetes sweet. "

"Twelve glasses will not directly make papa diabetes. Mela always pray papa and mama healthy"

"Thank you son" said Mama again hugging Melati who was sitting next to her.

"Mama always thought you were mama's son. Mama always remembers you, son. But mom is shy and afraid to contact you "

"Shame and afraid why ma"

"Mama is ashamed of what Lani did to you, and I'm afraid you won't take my mama's call "

"Mama, Mela always remembered mama. Even Mela was afraid to contact her mother. Mela was afraid that Mama would not take Mela's call. Forgive Mela ma. Mela is wrong to forget about mama, supposedly as the son of Mela who used to contact mama, not waiting for mama to contact Mela.. Mela was wrong for not telling her when she married again"

"Not what son. Mama understands everything. You are not wrong.. "

"Ma, if mama's sick, don't forget to tell Mela. Look, mom's hands are getting thinner. You have to take care of your health, never get sick again. "

"Mela, I know you can't forgive Lani, but as a parent who gave birth to Lani, I beg you son, forgive all Lani's mistakes. Mama knows, mama has failed to be a mama for Lani, mama failed to make her a good woman"

"Mommy, you never fail to be a mom. Mama is very good and loves your children, I am the only one who is not your biological child, feeling the affection of mama. If Lani makes a mistake, it's purely her fault, it's not because of the mother who failed to become a parent. Mama can't blame herself "

"But Lani's actions have gone too far and made mama ashamed as her parents"

Lani who heard her mama's words just bowed in shame. He was actually reluctant to come, just because the mother forced him. It just so happened that Willy's mom wasn't home, so Lani's mom didn't get to meet.

"Ma, maybe this is all God's destiny for me ma. I must feel the hurt and betrayal of those closest to me, before the end I get the happiness I am currently feeling"

"Mama's happy to hear it when you're happy. You deserve that happiness, son. After so much suffering and crying that you go through"

"Ma, I'm sometimes grateful, I parted ways with Willy. Because this separation brought me to the man who is currently my husband, the greatest man in my life. He wants to accept me for who I am and he loves Nabila like his own son. And most importantly he loved me and loved me with all his heart"

"You're a good woman, you deserve the best man, too" papa said.

"Mela, do you want to accept Lani again as your friend and brother like before. Mama really misses the time when you slept together, played together and did everything together. I think my mom wants to repeat that time again. Mama was happy to have two girls at the time. "mom mumbles

"Mela, you know it's not easy for you to accept and forgive Lani. Papa as his parents are still difficult to accept Lani's actions. But as papa said earlier if papa is still a parent, as bad and as bad as Lani, he is still a papa child, papa's flesh blood. When he was sad and down papa also felt it. Papa and mama purposely came here because they want to improve your relationship with Lani. Papa could've picked lani up without involving you. But papa can't calm down if you haven't forgiven Lani's mistake "

Lani just took her breath. She told me to be quiet when mom and dad talk. Lani can only listen, papa and mama will give a special time for Lani to apologize.

Melati just sighed she heard papa's words.

"Papa if I obey my heart, it's hard for me to accept Lani's forgiveness. But seeing the faces of papa and mama I don't have the heart. There's no point in me holding a grudge against Lani anyway. Didn't I get my happiness. I should also thank Lani, for the betrayal she committed to Willy, my eyes open to see who Willy really is and how Willy is. And also because of their betrayal I was finally met with a great man, my husband now.Perhaps with me forgiving all Lani's mistakes, I can be more calm in the future with my family at this time. I can no longer remember the past, enough that I keep as a lesson for me in the household wading," said Melati in her heart.
