Mother's words are ringing back in the mind of Salsa. Going from Azka was the right decision? Salsa just felt inferior. Along with Azka in fact like a dream like a Cinderella coupled with the cast.
"Are you better?" asked Gita, who saw her daughter-in-law pensive.
"Already, Bun!."
Gita sat next to the son-in-law, smiling softly like her own daughter. "How are you feeling?."
Her in-laws' questions made Salsa speechless. If asked, he's not okay. Which mother will be fine after losing her baby.
Salsa looked at Gita who was suddenly holding her hand, grasping tightly channeling strength. "Mother knows how you feel. Losing a baby is like losing half the life we have. And Mother has also felt it. Mother was once in your position at this time!."
Salsa looked at the middle-aged woman wryly. "I won't be as fresh as Mother. I'm weak, Bun. I feel alone. I never considered my son a mistake. Loved her. But why did God take it."
Gita embraced Salsa, "Because God loved her more. Your son is happy with him. You have to be strong, you have to be strong. He won't test us beyond the limits we're capable of!."
Salsa looked at her in-laws while wiping away the tears on her cheeks. Gita and Dirga were very kind to her, they even accepted her with open arms. How could Salsa hurt their hearts.
"Sorry before. Mother saw Azka coming out with a hostile face. Did you guys fight?." Salsa is nodding
"Mother will not interfere in any of your household affairs. But one thing you have to remember. Whatever happens, talk about everything well. Do not make decisions from just the side. You are married, no longer a courtship that can break up and separate. Marriage is sacred, sacred. So whatever problems you face, think carefully about the risks you will bear from the decisions you make!."
Salsa lowered her head, "Is it still appropriate for Mas Azka? Our baby is gone. There is no longer a link between us. After all, our marriage took place out of compulsion. Mas Azka deserves to be happy even if not with me!."
Gita smiled, "Your baby is gone, but that does not mean that the bond between you is also lost. You know, it's the marriage that's now the bond between the two of you. A sacred bond consisting of husband and wife. The sacred relationship between two human beings with all the shortcomings is also the advantages of each!."
Chequelek
Azka came with flowers and a chocolate bar. He walked over to his wife, Gita, who saw it immediately out of Salsa's nursery.
"This is flowers and chocolates for you. I don't know if you like it or not. But I hope you will accept it!."
Salsa stared at the flower and the chocolate at a glance, then grabbed it. "Thank you!."
Azka nodded, "Is there still any part of your body that hurts?."
"It's just my stomach that's a little sore!."
"I'll have the doctor check you out the song."
"No need. The doctor examined me when there was a mother. You sit here!."
Azka nodded, he looked back at his wife in a fixed manner. "You've changed your mind, haven't you? You're not gonna tell me to go back to Salwa or leave me?."
Salsa returned her husband's gaze. That handsome face looked hopeful, Salsa herself was confused. Why didn't Azka let him go. "Why don't you let me go?."
"Because I love you!," Azka replied, "I've been in love with you since I first saw you. I've liked you since our first meeting. But I just realized it now!."
"You love me that fast?."
Azka looked at his wife, "Yes. You must be doubting me, right? But that's how I feel. Honestly, I'm not a sensitive person. And I feel sorry for people easily. But this time I can't lie about my feelings. I really like you. And this is the first time I've fallen in love with a woman!."
Salsa blushed, though still hesitant with Azka's words. But it cannot be lied to if his heart is happy.
Azka grasped Salsa's hand gently, "You will, start everything from scratch. We organize our households together. Building a happy and loving home."
Salsa was moved, unable to hold back her tears. Slowly Azka rubbed her cheek, "I will always love and protect you. Be the place where you grieve, grieve and be happy. Become the most comfortable place for you to lean and treat wounds when you are injured. We are also good fathers to our children. Salsabila Safitri, will you age with me?."
