Not the Wife You Want
Chapter 14, Forgive Mama, Ayla.
Actually, he had no intention of eavesdropping on Alex and his in-laws.
She intended to confirm something, because when she was in the room earlier heard her in-laws' voices she came out of the room. When he left the room, he found no one. And Ayla who felt if she heard clearly the voice of her in-laws finally asked Bi Nur who happened to walk home because it was already afternoon. And when he got an answer from Bi Nur if Nely came and is currently in Alex's office, intending to meet his in-laws. But when he arrived at work, he heard what he should not have heard. Because it was the same as scraping the wound he had a few months ago.
.
“Since when are you here baby?” Nely asked a little worriedly mixed in shock.
“Newly, Mah!” The answer lies, because he stood there two minutes after Nely and Alex entered the workroom.
“A-did you hear something?” Ask Nely back. Ayla just smiled and immediately grabbed Nely's hand and kissed the back of his hand. She heard everything Mama and Husband were talking about. But he acted as if he had heard nothing.
“Mah, when did Mama arrive in Jakarta? Why didn't you tell Ayla that Mama came home today? And where's Papa, Mah? Is Papa inside?” Ayla asked avertedly with a wide smile as if nothing had happened. He also hugged his in-laws.
“Tadi morning, dear.” Said Nely replying to his daughter-in-law's embrace. “Mama deliberately did not tell you to be a surprise. And Papa can not come to Jakarta because there is still something he has to take care of. How are you and your dear Mama's grandson?” Nely asked as she broke her embrace and stared fixedly at her daughter-in-law's face.
“Ayla's news is healthy Mah, and this kid is also healthy. He's a smart, non-troublesome kid!” Ayla said as she rubbed her still flat stomach.
“Thank God if you're healthy. Mama misses you guys so much. Darling Oma misses you so much!” Say Nely by gently rubbing her daughter-in-law's stomach.
“Mah, someone wants Ayla to talk to Mama. Can?” Ask Ayla.
“Of course we can, we go to the middle room. Because there is something you want to talk about as well as you!” Said Nely who could not be separated from his smile.
“In the back garden only, Mah. We can chat while looking at the plants behind!”
“Alright,”
And now Ayla and Nely are sitting in the back garden. Not to forget Ayla brought a cup of tea and some snacks for her Mama-in-law. After a few minutes they sat there. No one starts talking. They are still silent and compile what should be talked about first before talking to his core.
“Mah, Ay..” Say them simultaneously. They looked at each other and in the next second laughed together.
“Mama, first!”
“It's better you first, Ay. You forget what you were talking to you about!” Said Nely lying, not forgetting he laughed lightly to cover up his lie.
“Alright, Ayla will talk to Mama.”
And before Ayla spoke, she took a deep breath and let out slowly. “Actually earlier Ayla accidentally heard the talk of Mama and Alex!”
The...!!
“Mah, previously Ayla apologized if all this time Ayla was just a burden for Mama and Papa. Ayla is also very grateful because Mama and Papa have loved Ayla so much. Ayla even financed all Ayla's needs. But Ayla never returned the slightest bit of kindness you gave. There Ayla always troubles Papa and Mama!” Ayla cried a hiccup, as well as Nely her heart ached with Ayla's words. He shook his head.
“No dear, you have never been a burden, nor have you troubled us. And we love you very sincerely without any strings attached. Everything we give because you are our daughter. So don't think Mama and Papa are asking for a reply from you!”
“Mah... I like this what the name if not troublesome and become a burden for you guys.” Ayla stood up and showed her stomach. “I'm not much different from the self-seller woman out there, Mah. With a pregnancy like this I feel ashamed, Mah. Shame for not being able to keep your trust. Shame for not being able to keep your good name because of my evil deeds. Am I not a wicked, self-destructive child who does not know return!”
Nely stood holding both of Ayla's shoulders. “Ayla, pretty dear. You're pregnant like this not because of your fault, baby. Don't talk like that anymore. Mama couldn't hear it. How many times have you said, never talk like that again. And how many times have Mama said too, if we sincerely and sincerely give everything for you, love, affection even what we have we will give if you want. And we never feel ashamed!”
“Good... Now all Ayla wants right now is one, Mah. That's honesty from Mama!”
The...!!
“Yes God, honesty. Which honesty? Ayla knew the truth. But how did he know? He'll be mad at all of us and what I've been afraid of all this time will come true. In hate Ayla even abandoned Ayla. My God, I can't afford to lose Ayla!” The rain in the heart. And it is the water that represents itself to show its pain.
“Ayla... Mama's sorry,” Nely grabbed Ayla's hands together, grasping her gently.
“Pardon Alex dear, forgive us too. Sorry if we---”
“Mah, here's what's wrong Alex. Not Mama.” Say it with sadness.
“Mama knows, but we beg you to forgive Alex's mistakes. He didn't do it on purpose, honey, Alex was immature and still very small just like you. Really she never had any intentionality to-”
“Mama say what the hell? Mah Ayla and Alex are adults, twenty-four years old. No longer a child.” Nely was speechless looking at Ayla with a puzzled look.
“Mah, do you know what happened to me a few months ago? The incident in the middle of the engagement event Kak Joe and his lover?”
The...!!
“Ay..”
“Mah, why did Mama do it? Ayla heard Mama and Alex talk in the workspace.” Obviously Ayla who makes Nely a little relieved, but also hopefully anxious for fear Ayla knows what she has been hiding all along.
“Ayla, are you mad at Mama?” Nely asked softly, and Ayla shook her head. “Im sorry Mom, Ayla. Actually Mama did not intend to cover up the actual incident. Mama is like that because she doesn't want you to get hurt baby!”
