My Brother's Bed Rattles
The arrival of Mona

After the tragedy of the accident that almost took his life, now Arga's life so twisted and pangs do not know the direction. He was also dismissed from his job because of the condition of his body that has not allowed him to work in the company again.

By using severance money given by the company where he worked, Arga tried to open various kinds of businesses to continue his life. But none of them succeeded. Everything failed because the man could not manage his business properly.

Not only does Arga feel that his life is getting chaotic after the departure of Risa and Lily, Mona also feels the same way. The more days, he felt increasingly unsettled and finally decided to meet Risa to apologize.

"Father and Mom agree, Mona. Meet your mother and apologize to her." Abdi also supported Mona's decision. He was very happy because in the end Mona was willing to meet her adoptive brother.

"Yes, Mona. Your father was right" said Miss Lydia, smiling at Mona.

Mona breathed a long breath. "Well, I'd better get going now, ma'am."

"Attep, Mona. Did you tell Risa about your arrival plans? If not, I can tell you on the phone" asked Ms. Linda, holding back Mona who was preparing to leave the room.

Mona shook her head. "No need, Mom. I did not intentionally tell about my arrival to mbak Risa. I was afraid that Risa would refuse my arrival" said Mona.

"Yes, that's what you want. Be careful on the road and if there's anything, don't forget to call Mom" said Ms. Lydia.

"Good, Mom."

"Why don't you come with me, Mona. I can take you before you go to work," take Mr. Abdi.

"No need, Dad. I booked a taxi online and he's on his way. There's no way I could just cancel it" Mona said.

After saying goodbye, Mona again continued her steps towards the front room. While Miss Lydia followed from behind.

"Remember, Mona. Do not be too stressed, not your HPL is very close," said Ms. Lidia.

"Yes, Mom. I remember" said Mona, smiling wryly.

Not long after, an online taxi ordered by Mona arrived. Mona immediately approached the car and entered it.

"Sir, don't speed, yeah." Ms. Lydia reminded the driver of the online taxi before leaving her residence.

"Good, Mom."

After that, they immediately went to the new residence of Ayden and Risa. On the way, Mona continues to be pensive. In addition to hesitating to face Risa, she also thought about her baby who will soon be born.

"Somehow Daddy and Mom would react if they knew that this baby was defective. Are they willing to accept whatever the circumstances?" mona muttered in her heart while stroking her enlarged stomach.

Not long after, Mona also arrived at the address given by Ms. Lydia to him. After paying for the online taxi service, Mona immediately approached the magnificent house.

A very large residence according to him, even somehow how many times compared to the residence belonging to Arga. The yard was so spacious and there were several cars parked neatly there.

"Is this really Risa's new home? If true, that means Sister Risa is really lucky," Mona muttered as she peeked out from behind the towering fence before her.

"Can I help you, Miss?" A security guard approached Mona.

"Ehm, I'm Mona. Her sister is Risa. I'm here to see him" Mona replied.

The man just left and didn't let Mona inside. Mona was waiting there. A few minutes later, the man came back again and this time he was with Risa.

"That's it, Non Risa."

Risa rushed over to the fence and confirmed who was outside. It turned out that what the security guard said was true and Risa rushed to order the man to open the fence.

"Mo-Mona's? What are you doing here?" risa asked after the fence was wide open.

Mona smiled wryly. "Bak Risa, I'm sorry if my arrival bothers you," he said.

Risa seemed hesitant to accept Mona's arrival back then. Events used to make him so traumatized against his adopted sister.

"What do you need, Mona?" asked Risa while watching Mona's stomach which is now getting bigger.

"I'm actually here to apologize to you, Ma'am. For God's sake, I'm sorry" Mona said with tears beginning to seep down her cheeks.

Seeing that, Risa also looked uncomfortable. Finally he decided to invite Mona into his house.

"We'd better talk about this inside. It doesn't feel good to look like a neighbor" said Risa.

Mona nodded and followed Risa's steps leading her into Ayden's luxurious residence. Mona had time to glare at the splendor of the house now inhabited by Risa. So luxurious and certainly really comfortable.

"Please sit down, Mona."

"Thank you, Ma'am."

Mona sat on the expensive sofa and then again expressed her intentions towards Risa. Risa was only silent when her foster sister spoke at length while sobbing. Actually, he still doubts whether the apology made by his adoptive sister is really sincere or just for pleasantries.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. Forgive me," said Mona who now rose and squatted in front of Risa.

Risa gelabakan. He immediately awakens Mona's body and sits her in her place.

"Alright, I forgive you, Mona. After all, I have no business with Mas Arga. He's just a father to Lily, that's all. The rest, I don't care."

"I did too, Mother. I've also decided to part with her," said Mona with a wry smile.

"Loh, why? Don't you love her so much? Didn't you ever say that Mas Arga was your first love? Why did you decide to split up now?"

"As you have said, Mother. Karma happens and I feel it. Mas Arga betrayed me many times and last time, he even brought his affair into our house. Now he is reaping the results. He was HIV positive and I chose to withdraw" Mona said.

Risa breathed a heavy breath. He was confused to be happy or even sad after hearing the narration from Mona. As a fellow woman, he felt compassion for her. However, if he were to think about his past, he should be happy to hear the news.

"I'm sorry to hear that and I hope you can make it a learning experience. Never take away the happiness of others, Mona. Especially to snatch a father from a child. Look for your own happiness without having to sacrifice the feelings of others" said Risa.

Mona was embarrassed. "Yes, Mommy. I'm sorry."
