"I'm sorry Zion, Ma because it's already caused Mama to become sick like this. Zion meets Faith because Zion wants to hear the woman's explanation. Zion wants to know why she went to Las Vegas to see Dominic. There was not the slightest intention in Zion's heart to hurt Mama. What else to disappoint my mother. Zion is deliberately not saying goodbye because Zion knows if Zion tells Mama that Zion will not let Zion go. That would make it harder for Zion to go to Las Vegas. Again Zion apologizes. Zion loves mom very much. Mama has to wake up because Zion doesn't want to see Mama sick like this." Zion lowered her head while holding Leona's hand. The man looked sad and sorry. If only he had known that his birth mother would have fallen ill like that maybe the man would have thought twice before leaving for Las Vegas.
"Sir, said the doctor Mama is fine. Mom was just exhausted and had a lot of thoughts. Mom will wake up soon too. Brother Zion doesn't have to feel guilty until it's like that. Everything's gonna be fine. Mama will definitely forgive Brother Zion," said Norah who was also in the room. Daisy and Jordan, who were in the room, were silent without knowing what to say. Same with Austin. As a new member of the family the man did not know how to come up with a solution. He knew that right now the position of his sister-in-law was very difficult.
"Then what did you get after you met that woman?"
Suddenly, Leona let out a voice that shocked everyone who was there. They did not expect that Leona was conscious and could hear what Zion said. There is also a sense of pleasure and worry. Zion who was then caught red-handed chose to go back down because she did not dare to look at the face of her parents directly.
"Faith told me she loved me too."
Leona carved a thin smile. "Mama guessed from the beginning that woman would have wanted to say that she loved you too. He must be sorry that he left you and went to see that guy Dominic in Las Vegas. He just realized that you're a lot better than Dominic. She is a useless woman. Just make it a hassle. Then after he said that he loves you too, how do you answer? Are you immediately devastated and willing to accept him as your Beloved." Leona was very curious to know exactly what was going on there. She wanted her son to tell her everything clearly. Nothing is covered up anymore.
"I asked him to forget me, Ma." The man looked at Leona and rubbed Leona's hand again. "Even though Zion was happy to hear Faith's love statement. But Zion keeps Zion's promise, Ma. Zion once promised her to marry the woman of her choice and try to love the woman she chose for Zion. After deciding that, Zion has established the heart of Zion not to remember anymore about Faith. Zion left just to get an explanation. At least Zion knows that Faith left for Las Vegas because she wanted to see her older brother Dominic."
"Dominic Faith's older brother?" chirps Austin doesn't believe it. Norah and everyone else in the room.
Zion nodded slowly. "And it turns out they're one father's brothers. Faith left for Las Vegas as well on Opa Zen's orders. Faith explained everything. It's just that Zion hasn't had time to meet Opa Zen because Zion also wants to hear the story directly from Opa Zen."
Now Leona doesn't know what to say because the matter is already related to her own in-laws. Although she initially hated Faith and viewed Faith as an evil woman but after hearing Zion's story just now, the woman had to think twice about vilifying Faith.
"Did Mama feel much better? You should eat and take your medicine." Zion took the rice that was on the nightstand. He wanted to feed his biological mother to eat and quickly take medicine to get well quickly. She did not want to talk about Faith anymore because it would only make her biological mother feel uncomfortable. At the moment Zion just wants her biological mother back to healthy as usual.
"Do you still love Faith?" ask Leona carefully. The woman was still unwilling to open her mouth when Zion scooped up the food on the plate.
"I just want to focus on my life right now, Ma. I don't want to think about love first. Although I love Faith, I don't want to be with her anymore. I want to marry the woman of my choice. I think it's much better. I love Mama. I don't want to dispute my mother's orders."
Leona opened her mouth and chewed on the food that Zion had just put in. He felt touched to hear his son's explanation.Even at a time like this jion was still thinking about his feelings. As a mother Leona felt that she was very selfish because she was too imposing her will. The woman looked at Jordan and asked her husband to sit next to her.
"Zion, you must be tired and tired from just coming home from Las Vegas you better rest in your room now. Let Papa feed Mama."
Zion nodded with an excited face. The man stood up and kissed the head of his biological mother. "Mom don't get sick anymore. Zion excuse me. Zion's gonna see Mama again."
Leona nodded. The woman also looked towards Norah. He knew that the newlyweds could not sleep well when he fell ill. "Norah, you better go to the room together with Austin. Mama knew since last night you were here to accompany mama. Mama doesn't want you guys to get tired and get sick. You are also newlyweds. You better prepare yourself for the honeymoon later. There is also Papa here. You don't have to worry about Mama anymore because papa will always take care of mama."
Norah got up from the chair she was sitting in and walked over to Leona. The woman also kissed her real mother. "Norah will be back, Ma. Now Norah and Austin take a little break, Ma."
"Yes, Honey. Forgive Mama for troubling you and interrupting your first night." Leona blinked one eye to tease her daughter.
"Mrs ...." Norah was embarrassed to hear her birth mother's words. The woman glanced at Austin for a moment before looking at Leona's face again. "Mama should think again to match Kak Zion with the woman of your choice. Isn't the real problem clear that Faith's sister left not because she wanted to leave Zion but she wanted to see her brother. Of course this cannot be said to be a mistake."
"Mom knows what's best for mom. I hope you can appreciate the decision you will make. So is Zion."
Norah went back to silence because the woman could not force her biological mother to do the thing she wanted. After bidding farewell with Jordan and Daisy, Norah immediately grabbed Austin's arm and took him away from the spacious room.
Daisy chooses to lie on the couch. Even though her birth mother was conscious but the woman did not want to leave the room. She wants to be by Leona's side until she is declared completely healthy. In addition, Daisy also wants to eavesdrop on the conversation of her parents who are now concerned about the relationship between Zion and Faith.
"How are you doing? Is there anything still that hurts. I was really shocked when I saw you fall unconscious last night."
"Maybe I'm just exhausted. During Norah's wedding I no longer ate regularly. Plus there were so many problems that filled my mind. But take it easy because now I feel so much better. There is nothing to worry about anymore because after this I can move as usual."
"I love you, Leona ...."
Leona was embarrassed to hear her husband. "I love you to my husband."
Daisy sighed while closed. He was happy to hear it. "I envy my mom and dad. Although they were old but they were still romantic and in love with each other," he murmured inwardly.
...***...
Zion didn't really go to her bedroom for a break. The man was instead interested in meeting Opa Zen at his residence. He deliberately again did not say goodbye to Leona if going to go to Papa Zen's house. Zion wants to move fast. Before her birth mother realized that she was going to meet Opa Zen, she would soon be going home.
While stepping towards the main door suddenly from a distance Norah shouted to Zion. The man held back his footsteps and looked at Norah who was now walking towards him. He glanced at the watch on his wrist before snorting in annoyance. The time he had was not much. The man did not want to delay any longer to meet with Opa Zen.
"Where is Zion going? Isn't Brother Zion's room there?" ask Norah. The woman took Austin's hand off because she wanted to talk to her brother.
"I want to go to Opa Zen's house. I want to hear the explanation directly from Opa Zen."
"Didn't you say to Mama that you won't bother with this anymore. Why did you decide to meet Opa Zen now. Don't tell me you want to know what really happened. What's in it for Big Brother if Big Brother finds out the truth is happening? Didn't you decide to marry the woman you chose."
Zion seemed to be at a loss for words to defend herself. What Norah said was true for what else Zion was looking for information related to Faith. The man himself has also decided to marry the woman chosen by his biological mother.
"You're right. Why am I meeting Opa Zen and talking about Faith again." Jion's face looked uninspired. "I'd better think of a way to forget it."
"Sister, I know what Brother Zion is feeling now. I'm sorry I couldn't help Zion much. But as a man, you have to make a decision. If Brother Zion decides to marry Kak Faith, then Kak Faith struggles in front of Mama. But if Kak Zion has decided to marry the woman of your choice, you should forget Kak Faith. Do not act like you are now. Brother Zion's actions will only make Brother Zion himself feel sick. I don't want to see Brother Zion not calm down like this. Come back to be Zion's sister as I've known her. I'm sure Zion won't lose just because of a woman's problems."
"Norah, I heard you were going on a honeymoon to Japan. When are you leaving?" Suddenly Zion switched the conversation. The man was tired as well if constantly discussing matters related to Faith.
"Me and Austin haven't set a date yet. Since we were honeymooning in Japan maybe we will stay at the GrandNa house. Maybe we'll stay in a hotel sometimes."
"I'm sorry you disappeared at your important event last night. I hope you're not angry."
"Of course I'm not angry. If I were angry with Brother Zion, now I wouldn't stand here and talk to Brother Zion. I've also received the gift that Brother Zion left with Daisy and we both really like her."
"Since then, you've always been smart to restore my mood. Even though you're married now, do you still want to hug your sister."
"Sir Zion said what the hell. Of course I still want to hug Brother Zion because until whenever Brother Zion will still be my brother. Even though I'm married and Zion's sister is married, things will still be like this. We love each other and care about each other." Norah hugged Zion in front of Austin. The woman knew that her husband wouldn't mind this hug.
"It turns out that heart-related problems are much more exhausting and energy-draining than a fight."
"But as a man Brother Zion is great. From the beginning Brother Zion has loved Brother Faith but Brother Zion did not force Kak Faith to love Brother Zion. Usually the men I see mostly just force their will in order to get the woman they love."
"If I treat a woman well. I hope when my sisters meet their life partner, they are also treated well by their life partner." Zion looked towards Austin. It made Austin smile.
"Thank you for protecting me and taking care of me from childhood until I was as big as I am now. I love Brother Zion so much I hope Brother Zion can also feel the happiness that I now feel. Marry the man that Zion loves and live happily together."
Zion just smiled. He closed his eyes while hugging Norah even tighter. Just hugging Norah like that alone made his heart calm again. "It seems like I have to look for a more time-consuming activity so as not to think about the issues regarding relating to women anymore" he murmured inwardly.
