My Maid And I
Part 22's. My Maid and I.
The night has come. Adam was sitting in the middle of his family for dinner. In his eyes the mother whose health is improving. Adam smiled at his mother when their eyes met.
The mother returned her smile with great grace and sincerity. Adam is really happy right now. Back in the middle of a warm family like before. There are no words that can express his current feelings except being happy.
Adam looked at Allan's younger brother who was still busy with office business even though he was at the dining table eating food by holding his cellphone.
Then, his gaze turned to Allina, Allan's twin sister who works as a fashion model. His sister always ate very carefully. Food pickers for fear of his body becoming fat and not ideal anymore as a model.
His eyes were then fixed on the youngest Ellen. Sweet girl who is preparing her degree to become a master at a famous Canadian university at the age of 21 years.
Adam looked at Mom and Dad who were still friendly despite their old age. There is happiness there. Adam knew that the happiness of his mother was that he would forgive her.
Well...
That is true happiness. With people who are loved in this world.
As with anyone in the world, family is number 1. Because in fact, family is a place where we will again feel the warmth of togetherness.
*******
Two months have passed, this morning Adam plans to say goodbye to his mother and other family. He will return to Singapore. My mom's health is better than it was 2 months ago. The light on the face of the mother also looks more fresh and bright.
Adam was in the bedroom of his mother. The rooms are very spacious and also comfortable filled with picture frames of all members of his family from those who are children until then graduated from university.
Adam looked at the mother who was sitting casually on a classic brown wooden rocking chair, reading her favorite book facing the terrace of her room.
Adam looked at her carefully then approached and hugged her from behind the rocking chair she was sitting on.
"Mom..." Adam exclaimed while kissing the top of his head from behind.
"Ah... it turns out that you love... What's the matter...? Tumben once in the morning you visit mommy...?" ask the mother.
Adam took his arms off the mother and began to move to the terrace and stand before the mother.
The old woman who had been reading it, listened carefully to the words of the eldest son, then was stunned to hear the expression of her son. Then he looked into the son's eyes with his own eyes.
"Can't you just stay here, son...? I'm still not satisfied enough to let go of your miss... I feel you're here too soon, son... do you not want to continue on your mommy's side, son...?" said the mama.
Adam could not look at the disappointed face of his mother. His eyes were fixed on the garden and also the fish pond that was being cleaned by the servants in this mansion.
"I can't mom. I have my own business there that is growing rapidly... Under my auspices, there are millions of people who put their lives on my shoulders... I could not have just let them go, and I became what I am today because of their loyalty." said Adam, turning and looking at his mother.
The mother was silent. Staring at the son with disappointment but can not be denied that the son did have his own life. He was only sorry for his attitude. Trying to separate his son with the woman he loved so much. Had he not been so adamant about separating them, the son would not have left his side. What's more, maybe this big house has been presented by a grandson. He wants to see his son happy by marrying someone he currently loves. He will no longer impose his will on his other sons or daughters. There is nothing that makes him happy right now except for his son.
"Son. You have your own life now. Don't you continue to lament Sarah's departure. Find someone and marry that woman who can fill the emptiness of your heart right now.I will be very sinful and regretful for a long time if you still endure your solitude... I will not forbid your relationship with anyone else as long as you are happy and you love him.he will also repay your love..." said the mother with tears dripping down her cheeks.
Adam looked at the mama stunned to see the tears flowing down the old woman's cheeks. Adam approached the mother and grabbed the cheek and rubbed it slowly.
"Hey... Mom... why cry.I reiterate to you Mom.. For now, I still enjoy my solitude this Mom... I am still concentrating on my career... Ah... and also I have not found the right candidate or candidate as my life partner.so, I beg you Mom... someday when I find someone suitable I will bring it here and I introduce you... Mom.." said Adam at length.
Adam kissed the top of his head and hugged him tightly.
"I'm really looking forward to that time, son, I'll be so happy when you'll bring the woman you're going to make a wife with. And I promise you as long as you're happy no matter what your decision is I'll agree to it." said the mother, taking off her arms at the son.
"I will never impose my will on you or your sister again.come back safely.
"Mom.. Promise me you're always healthy.I've forgiven you.don't reveal it again." said Adam among his sobs. " And perhaps Sarah in heaven would not be happy if I was always sad. I started to classify her. 6 weeks ago, she was present in my dreams... even though there were no words spoken from him, I knew he was happy. He was always smiling..." Adam started to tell stories. "To be exact a week after I forgave you mom.., I visited her grave and after that I visited the mansion that I had built for her... I fell asleep there and he was present in my dream he was so happy mom. Previously, he was never present in my dreams even for a moment. Therefore mom. I'm sorry for hating you.." said Adam while kissing the hand of the mother.
"I regret ever hating you." she added then kissed the mother's forehead.
"I love you mom..."
"I love you too, son..."
