The Forsaken Heart Flakes
Chapter 72

The situation experienced by Danu is much different from the current state of Nadira. The young mother-of-one decided to return to her place of residence after her affair with Danu was completed.

“Nad, are you sure you will come back to Surabaya today?” asked Risma's mother when approaching Nadira who was packing her things in the room while accompanying Tiara.

“Iya, Mom. I will go back there because I feel comfortable being there,” replied Nadira while diverting

his attention was on the mother who was standing at the door of the room.

“Can't you stay here anymore? I'm afraid you'll have trouble there alone. You know for yourself, I can't accompany you to stay there because your sister's wife is pregnant young,” said Ibu Risma who now chooses to enter Nadira's room and sit on the mattress with Tiara, the grandson.

“No, Mom. I already have a small business there. I can't just leave him. After all, it has been my decision to stay there,” replied Nadira.

“But, Nad—” Ibu Risma still feel heavy hearted when Nadira solid with his decision to stay back to overseas.

“Mother need not worry. I'll be fine for sure. I just need to pray for me.”

“Mom will always pray for you, Nad. But ...” Again Risma's mother was worried. How not, she is also a mother who of course now does not want to see her daughter

distress alone in the overseas, let alone Nadira also brought his baby daughter, of course it is not easy.

“Thank you, Mom. But as I said earlier, I don't have to worry about me.” Nadira got up from her seat and hugged her mother.  I don't know how many times Nadira hugged Mother Risma today, which she certainly did to calm her heart that had felt chaotic. Yes, no one realized that his meeting with Danu after the trial was over, leaving a heart wound that Nadira hid herself. However, if asked ‘Does Nadira regret divorcing Danu?’ The answer is of course ‘Nak’. It was the best decision he thought.

Risma's mother took a slow breath, although her heart felt heavy letting Nadira go again, but at least now she felt better because Nadira had escaped the snare of her marriage with Danu, a man who uses only his daughter.

“Good. If this had been your decision, I wouldn't have banned you again. Go to a place that makes you comfortable and take good care of yourself there,” said Ibu Risma in the end.

Nadira nodded her head. “Iya, Mom. I will definitely take good care of myself and Tiara,” said the young lady.

After a while hugging, Nadira returned to continue her unfinished work earlier. All of them

must be done immediately before lunch because the bus that Nadira will ride it will leave at exactly one noon.

After all the preparations were completed, Nadira was escorted by Ibu Risma and Faisal to one of the terminals. It looked a little cloudy even though no rain had fallen yet.

“Nad, can't you really just stay here?” This time the question came out of Faisal's lips. After a few days, the man avoided talking to his sister, but

“Why does Big Brother ask like that? Of course I don't want to stay and stay here. I want to live independently in a place that makes me comfortable.”

“Do you feel uncomfortable staying with us?” ask Faisal again.

Nadira shook his head. "I'm comfortable living with you guys, but that probably won't make me independent, sister.

I just want to prove that I can take good care of Tiara, even without your interference,” Nadira said again.

“You can raise Tiara well, Nad. But not by keeping your own family away!”

“There are some things you won't be able to understand, Brother. I am not doing this to show you my success, but I also want to silence the mouths of those who have humbled me. Trust me.. I can handle everything well.” Nadira reassures Faisal of his decision. In fact, even though Nadira seemed as if she did not feel hurt over her words a few months ago, but the grudge implied in the young woman's speech this time made Faisal realize that Nadira also felt heartache for his actions.

“I understand. You must have felt disappointed with my attitude a few months ago ‘kan? Alright. I won't ban you anymore,” Faisal said at the end.

Nadira nodded his head. “Thank you for understanding. And ... I'm sorry that my decision hurt

your ego. Really, I just want to prove to you, that I can stand on my own feet above the choices I choose,” said Nadira.

Faisal only nodded his head for a moment with his head lowered, holding back the tears that were about to come out. He was truly sorry for making his little sister hurt by the words he had said.

Shortly after the conversation was over, there came a bus that Nadira and Tiara would ride in front of them. Faisal

help Nadira to raise his bag into the luggage that is above the passenger seat. Nadira shakes hands to say goodbye to her mother.

“Bu, I say goodbye first, yes! I take good care of myself here and come occasionally to my overseas,” Nadira said on the sidelines of his embrace.

“Iya, Nad. You also have to take good care of yourself there. I will definitely come there occasionally to see you,” said Ms. Risma.

“Iya, Mom. I'll wait for Mom there.”

After saying goodbye, Nadira immediately boarded the bus. This time he left with a calm heart as well as new hope. Wishing her the happiness she had been seeking all along, despite only living alone with the princess, Tiara.
