Don't Take What's Not Yours!


Eka is still busy pegging herself with a white kebaya wrap in front of the glass. Kebaya was the best shirt he had. What makes it so blushing is Sam himself who bought it for Eka after the girl told her sad story of having to share a lebaran dress given people to Rissa because Rissa's clothes were dirty on the holiday, Eka could not bear, he who used to not perform, busy with his final homework gave up the clothes for Rissa.


Hearing Eka's story, Sam felt indebted. For the good of the woman, his wife can still wear new clothes on the holiday. So he bought new clothes for Eka, as well as clothes for the proposal later. In the end Sam gave up too, he was unable to hear the story where his wife bore the burden of the suffering he was experiencing now because Rissa left for good.


"Hem," the chief mother who was standing before the door of Eka's room cleared her throat. Since then, the head of the home was already there, paying attention to the movements of his foster children. Something was strange, but it was hard to say.


It feels like suddenly Rissa's husband came here with his mother to propose to Eka. Somehow the story. Head mother doesn't know. But as he knows, there is a misunderstanding here. Although not the birth mother of the orphanage children, but little did he know the nature and character of the children he cared for and raised because he accompanied them lovingly.


As Dr. Ines says, Eka does help Rissa a lot. But he knew it was Eka's way of seeking attention. He knew the young girl was insincere. In all fields, Rissa who is identical with him is always favored even though Eka is actually much smarter and diligent, while Rissa his son is careless but his heart is very sincere. Rissa's messiness is sometimes irritating, but it is what it is, not full of falsehood like Eka. So the head mother wants to know a lot of what really happened because earlier when talking, Eka cut a lot until the head mother had no chance to ask at length.


"Eh mother, since when was there? Let's go in, ma'am." She pulled a plastic chair next to the mirror. He gave it to the mother head. "What do you think this nice dress isn't?" Ask Eka.


"good. But there's something else I want to ask." Said the head mother.


"What, Mom?" Eka noticed the head mother


"Did doctor Sam love you?"


"Clearly, Ma. We're getting married, he must love me. Why why anyway? Mommy doesn't believe it? Or do you think I don't deserve to take Rissa's place? Granted, Rissa is much prettier than me, but unfortunately she's no longer there. So I won!"


"Eka, what's wrong with you? I remind you, don't take what isn't yours!"


"Mom, I didn't take anything. Sam is single now, what's wrong with us getting married? Why doesn't it look like Sam belongs to Rissa. I know that Rissa is dead!"


"Eka, is it true that Rissa sent you that message?"


"Oh so mom doesn't believe it? Mom, me and Rissa are like brothers, we're always together. All this time I've sacrificed mine for Rissa but no one questioned Rissa. But why am I getting married now to Rissa everyone wants to protest like I don't deserve. Why is it that only Rissa can get anything, why can't I?" Eka really changed, it's not what it used to be.


"Bu .. I .. ah already. Why do you always doubt me? Why am I never right in my mom's eyes? Why is it that only Rissa can be happy while I'm not?" Eka was inflamed, her patience as if tested. He did not accept all the accusations and showed his anger. "I've always been the same mother, I've always been a good boy, I've never been naughty like Rissa or dating without limits. I've always taken care of myself very well, I'm not even just in a relationship with anyone. This is God's blessing to me. Why do you constantly protest, you should just point to God who rules everything!" Eka defied head mother. His true nature finally came out as well. She was really arrogant because she felt that soon she would be the wife of a handsome and wealthy doctor. That's why he feels winning. "After marriage I will never set foot in a mother's home again. Just take it easy, I'll ask Sam to pay for all my living expenses from baby to marriage!" Firmly Eka, then she passed leaving the mother head


"Astagfirullah," the head mother can only stroke the chest. He really did not expect to be attacked in such a way by the child he cared for from the baby.

Three months after the hospital fire, Rissa, who is still in Malaysia, will return to Jakarta after undergoing treatment. The wound had been operated on but was still not dry, so he decided to wear a veil to cover the scar that the seams had not dried.


"Mrs Rubby Arifna, tomorrow you can go home. The stitches are just left to dry. To check up can be done at the branch of the hospital in your country." Said the doctor who handled Rissa.


When leaving for Malaysia, Rissa did use a pseudonym made by Mr Y so that his identity is unknown to others.


Hearing the news, Rissa was really happy. If the wound has healed, within two weeks then his face will recover. He stroked his stomach slowly, gesturing to his future baby that they would soon meet Sam, the father of this child. It feels like I've missed it.

Sam felt bad. He doesn't know why. Today, he submitted a proposal to Eka. Still between conscious and not but in the end he fulfilled Rissa's request, for his wife's peace there. Just three years. After that they will get divorced like a deal.


Sam knew that such a marriage could not be. But he has no other choice, he does not love Eka and is not sure he can love her after marriage. But he also could not let his wife's promise not be repaid even though Rissa actually had a promise to accompany him for twenty thousand days.


"Sam, come!" Doctor Ines said.


The ring that Sam held was given to his mother to be pinned on Eka's ring finger. When he finished, he took a long breath.
