Norah could not stop laughing whenever she imagined her husband's expression of disappointment. Even when they had already walked out of the room the woman was still unable to hold back her laughter. He laughed while holding Austin's arm. Occasionally, the woman pinched her husband's stomach because of anxiety.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you in the first place. It's wrong of yourself why you attacked me so suddenly. I haven't been used to sleeping in company. So I was shocked and tried to protect myself." Norah accidentally kicked her husband. It made Austin in pain and sit at the end of the bed. At first Norah felt guilty because she accidentally kicked something that became her husband's weapon. But when Austin pulls his body and tickles him to punish him, Norah comes back to thinking that everything is fine.
"Thankfully I love you. If not, I'll make it up. Your face when you wake up is adorable. I can't help but tease you" Austin said before peeping at Norah's cheek. This time they will visit Leona who is still not out of the room. Norah wants to take her biological mother for a breath of fresh air in the side garden. It's not just Leona. The woman also wanted to invite her entire family who were in the house for breakfast there. Today the sun is shining brightly. The side garden is a great place to sunbathe and enjoy breakfast. The servants had been given orders to prepare breakfast there while waiting for breakfast to be ready, Norah wanted to pick Leona up in her room.
Norah and Austin had met Jordan, who had just come out. The man looked at his son and daughter-in-law before smiling. "Do you want to meet with Mom. It just so happens that mom just finished her shower and she just asked about you Norah" Jordan said. The man picked up the drinking water at a table not far from the door of the room before bringing it inside.
"Yes, we want to take Mama to the back garden for breakfast. Can Papa help us. If Papa can't hold Mama anymore let Austin do it." Norah walked beside Jordan towards the room.
"Mama can walk. He also does not want to be carried. Zion came to her room and invited her to breakfast outside. Mama seemed to refuse. But Papa doesn't know. It could be that he changed his mind after seeing you." Jordan held the door handle and pushed it.
"alright. Then Norah will try to persuade mom." Norah looked at Austin. "Find Brother Zion and take Brother Zion for breakfast in the side garden."
"All right," said Austin. The man immediately went to Zion's room. Jordan and Norah both enter the room to persuade Leona to eat breakfast in the side garden.
When she arrived in the room, Leona was seen tidying the table which she thought was very messy. Though the woman's body still feels weak but it feels like she can not stay in bed. Seeing Norah appear in her room made Leona smile happily. The woman sat on the sofa and patted the side of the sofa to ask Norah to sit next to her.
"Come here, baby."
Jordan walked towards the bathroom. The man also wanted to immediately get ready for breakfast in the side garden.
"Ma, we're having breakfast in the side yard huh. We haven't had breakfast there in a long time. The last time we had breakfast was when Daisy wasn't home. Daisy is still here. I'd like to have breakfast in the side garden like I used to. Tomorrow I'm going to Japan for my honeymoon. I must have missed my mom a lot. This will be the most memorable breakfast because after this I do not know when else can breakfast with mama, papa, Daisy and also Brother Zion.
"Sooner or later you will leave this house to go with your husband. Mama's been strengthening your heart all the way before you got married to Austin. But the more here it feels the harder it is to let go of you. Maybe this is how it hurts to lose. Now you know how GrandNa felt when you married your father. Every parent should be ready to see his daughter taken by his life partner. He cannot be selfish for the happiness of his children. One thing my mom asked of you. I don't know where you and Austin will live, Mama, hope you take the time to visit your old mama. Anything busy is time to visit my mom. Mama herself felt sorry because she had never visited GrandNa often. Now that GrandNa is gone, Mama really wants to meet her."
"Yes Ma. But even though Norah is married Norah is still my mother's daughter. If Norah does anything wrong Mama has the right to rebuke and scold Norah. Norah promised not to be offended" the woman said solemnly.
"But Mom won't scold you. Mom loves you very much." Leona hugged Norah. "Tomorrow when he misses Norah, he will not be able to hug his daughter like that anymore because after the honeymoon Norah will settle in the house that Austin has prepared. The two of them will no longer live in this house.
"After marriage, a new story begins. Ready or not you have to go through it. Marriage is not always sweet. Sometimes we have disagreements with our partner. Mama asked you if later you and Austin had a disagreement, it's better as a wife you give up. In the household the key to everything is the wife. If his wife is patient then the household will be solid. But in other words, the mistakes made by Austin can still be forgiven. If it's too fatal you have the right to get angry and leave. Here Mama is not praying for your bad household. But mama just wants to share the story according to the experience that Mama lived after marriage. We used to wake up alone but now when we open our eyes there is already a man we love next to us. It feels so happy."
"Ma, there's actually something I want to ask Mama. But I'm ashamed." Norah looked towards the bathroom door to make sure that her real father was still in there and not eavesdropping on their conversation.
"What do you want to ask, Norah? Just tell Mama. Mama will definitely help you find the best solution."
"Ma, how do we make our husbands happy?"
Norah again looked towards the bathroom door before continuing her story. "Norah and Austin haven't been in contact ...." Norah held back her sentence while closing her eyes. But now her real mother understood what her daughter wanted to say. "Why? Are you not ready yet. If you're not ready, you better say it well with Austin. If he really loves you he shouldn't mind."
"It's not because it's not ready, Ma. But because Norah came by the moon. But Austin was very inconsiderate. He continues to harass Norah and tease Norah to the point that Norah cannot sleep in peace. Who Norah wants to ask Mama, how can Austin not tease Noah for now. Norah thinks that a marriage is not only about ****. But to live complement each other and accompany each other until old age. Even before marriage Norah never thought of having children immediately. But if given quick confidence Norah will not refuse. Norah wants to enjoy Norah's marriage to Austin for a long time. But every time Norah cast a shadow about the first night, Norah suddenly felt fear. Norah felt uncomfortable. Is this natural ma? Or there is indeed a disorder in Norah. Norah did not want to disappoint Austin. He has fought hard enough all this time. Norah won't make her sad after marriage." Norah had a sad face.
"There are some women who have felt the way you feel now. Although not all. The fear you feel is natural. But you must not let it continue to be in you. You have to get rid of it. It's all for your good and your husband's sake, too. As married women we have a responsibility to satisfy our husbands. Some people who are married may find it unimportant. But it is one of the forces for our households to survive. So that the husband is not tempted by other women out there."
"Thank you Ma. After talking to Mama now Norah knows what to do. Norah hopes Mama is always healthy so that mama can be the place where Norah told me when Norah had a dead end. Norah won't lose her mother." Norah immediately hugged Leona while closing her eyes along with That Jordan came out of the bathroom in a well-groomed outfit.
"Let's have breakfast" Jordan asked with a smile.
Norah nodded immediately. He helped his birth mother to stand up before holding her arm so firmly. "Let's go slowly. Norah will continue to hold Mama's hand so that Mama does not fall down" Norah said full of confidence.
Leona just laughed when she heard it. Although not helped by Norah, the woman felt confident that she could walk on her own.
When they arrived at the door, they saw Daisy, Austin and Zion waiting in front of the room. Though Norah had thought that they would all go straight to the side garden and wait there.
"Mama. Can Mama walk?" ask Daisy to worry.
"Yes, my mom is much healthier. Didn't the doctor say Mama is sick because there are too many thoughts if your mind is happy Mama can definitely be healthy again," replied Leona with confidence. He looked at Zion for a moment before looking at Daisy again. "Where is Foster. Since yesterday Mama has not seen Foster. Is he home."
Daisy glanced at Zion before looking at her birth mother. For some reason whenever there is Zion there Daisy does not want to discuss anything related to Foster because she knows that her biological brother has not given blessing for their relationship.
"Sister Foster had to take care of the problems in his parents' company ma. He's not coming here. If we meet maybe later we will meet at Yale University," explained Daisy as it is.
"He's a hard-working kid." Leona continued her footsteps towards the side garden. They'll all be having breakfast there soon.
Norah immediately grabbed Austin's arm. While Zion chose to hold Leona's arm so that the woman did not fall. Daisy who does not want to lose actually holds Jordan's arm. They were all walking towards the breakfast place hand in hand.
A few waiters were seen passing by and were very busy preparing breakfast. This is a very meaningful breakfast. Because tomorrow they can't be like this anymore. Norah is about to honeymoon and settle down at Austin's house. Daisy will be returning to Yale University soon. While Zion is usually the man busy at the Gold Dragon headquarters until he forgot to go home. Leona wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to tell stories and gather with her children.
"If Opa Zen were here it would be more exciting" Daisy said. The woman immediately sat down. He chose the chair beside Leona.
Leona looked at the one by one who was now in front of her before smiling happily. "Finally I was still given health to gather with my husband and children" Leona murmured inwardly.
