My Brother's Bed Rattles
Meet Mommy 2

"Not to be afraid, Mommy won't bite you" Ayden whispered to Risa who was now walking beside him.

The woman's hand felt cold and Ayden could feel the fear and gloom that Risa felt at that moment. Upon arriving in the room, Risa's gaze was immediately fixed on the beautiful woman who was sitting next to Oma Hana.

They throw one another a look. Risa tried to smile, but the woman seemed reluctant to reply.

"Here comes Risa. You remember, don't you, Tiya?"

The woman nodded slowly with a gaze that was still fixed on Risa.

"Yes, of course I remember. Especially the last words spoken by his father a few years ago. Words that I will remember up to any time," he replied in a slightly raised tone.

Ayden exhaled heavily while tightly grasping Risa's hand which was now bowed languidly facing the floor.

0ql"Mom, I beg you!" lirih Ayden's.

Not only Ayden, Oma Hana also seemed annoyed at the words of Mommy Ayden just now. He got up from his sitting position then grabbed Mommy Tiya's hand.

"Come with me, Tiya. We need to talk four eyes!" oma Hana said very seriously.

"But, Oma?"

"Come on!" bring Oma.

Inevitably, Mommy Tiya was forced to follow the steps of Oma Hana who now led her to a room located not far from the main room. Where they can still look at each other.

"What else is it, Oma Hana? Don't tell me Oma is trying to persuade me to give Ayden blessing in order to unite with the one-child widow. Because all of that would be in vain. I'll never approve of it" Mommy Tiya chirped with a perfectly bent face.

"Why indeed? Is it because of her status that the widow has one child?" sahut Oma Hana with eyebrows that are linked.

The beautiful woman shook her head. "No. It's not really about that, Oma. It's about a heart that's been hurt."

Mommy Tiya snorted in annoyance. "Indeed not Risa. But that woman is just as stupid! He was willing to give up Ayden for the sake of a man who he said was much more established and had a clear future. Unlike Ayden who is unemployed and does not have a regular job. The future is so bleak! And now what? Why did she divorce her established husband? Is because he has seen the success of Ayden, to be willing to let go of the man and want to return with my son. Hmmm, sorry! I'm not that stupid," Mommy Tiya said with a cynical smile.

Oma Hana let out a heavy breath while looking at Mommy Tiya fixedly. "Risa's not what you think, Tiya. Risa's a good woman and all the accusations you've said against her, that's not true. Risa did not want Ayden's treasure at all. He doesn't even know what and who Ayden is now."

"That's impossible!" Mommy Tiya threw away her face then looked at Risa, Rachel and Ayden who were joking with Lily in the main room.

"Now just like this, Tiya. Position yourself like Risa. What would you do if your parents forced you to marry someone else. At that time, you still had a lover whom you loved very much. Are you going to insist on maintaining your love and then elope with it. Or take the same decision as Risa, forced to forget the lover you love for the sake of both your parents?"

Mommy Tiya was silent for a moment. Of course it's a very difficult choice. Choose to maintain a lover's heart, but make both parents disappointed or follow the choice of parents even though the heart screams and cries bitterly.

"You're having a hard time deciding, aren't you?" say Oma Hana again.

"Yes, maybe Risa's choice at that time was right. But neither should their families insult Ayden, right?" upset Mommy Tiya.

"Come, Tiya! Don't sacrifice your son's feelings again. Can't you judge how Ayden is now? He was much more cheerful after meeting Risa. Different when you insist on matching him with Renatta, his son Pak Guntur. I'm the one who's not his mother knows how Ayden feels. And you as her mother, don't you know how she feels?"

Mommy Tiya let out a heavy breath and now her two neutrals were looking back towards the main hall. Where Ayden was holding Lily.

"What happened to Risa?" mommy Tiya asked without turning a single glance at Oma Hana.

"He's been stalked by her husband and the ill-fated man really doesn't want to be responsible for Lily. That's why I accepted him to work at my house. I feel sorry for her, Tiya," said Oma Hana.

"Hows it? Are you willing to accept it?" Oma glanced at the look on Mommy Tiya's face.

"Come away!" mommy Tiya replied casually.

"Geez, Tiya. If you still have doubts about my whole speech. Invite Risa to speak from heart to heart and leave your ego aside," explained Oma Hana.
