The Mother Connect
Chapter 17

"Not really, Mom. Mommy take it easy, I'm not going to repeat Mommy and Daddy's love story. Not exciting!" answer Tama origin.

"Haishis. You little boy," sizzled the Star.

"Hey, who said no fun? Our love story is loved by millions. If there is no love story mommy and daddymu, where there is a love story of the three of you." Rangga who has been silent since then.

Tama no longer retaliates and just thaws. She knew that everything her daddy said was true.

"By the way, Micah and Kee haven't come yet she said tonight they want to come here?" tama. He and his two brothers had made a pact to meet at their daddy and mommy's house.

"Maybe in a moment" replied the Star.

The woman who was over half a century old sighed.

"Why, Mom?" ask Tama.

"Mommy felt like time was passing by so quickly. It feels like just yesterday mommy saw you and Micah fighting a lot and now you all have a life together with your little family."

Tama sits closer to her mommy, she then embraces the woman who has given birth and raised her. "Mom, even though I, Micah, and Kee already have our own families, but Mommy and Daddy are still in our priorities."

"Yes, Mom. Tama's right. Mommy and Daddy remain our priorities" said Micah, who has just arrived with Dion and his two children, Qilla and Marvel.

Soon Keenan also comes with Dira and their two twins, Aby and Dita.

"Assalammualaikum," Keenan and Dira gave their greetings.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied the Star and others.

"Grandma, Grandpa, we miss you guys." The four grandchildren of Rangga and Bintang hugged them.

"You guys please have a chat! Mommy and Daddy want to play with our favorite grandchildren above," said Bintang.

"Yes, Mom. Qilla take good care of your sisters. You're the biggest one here." Micah warned his eldest daughter.

"Yes, Mommy. Qilla will take good care of them" Aqilla replied. The 12-year-old girl.

"Aby, Dita, you guys are also fine playing with opa and oma." It was Dira's turn to speak to her two twins.

"Ready, Ma" replied Abyasa and Anindhita together.

Bintang and Rangga then brought their four grandchildren upstairs where there is a play ground. The play ground was deliberately built for a place to play when all their grandchildren came to visit.

"Sir Tama, Mikha's sister, how are you?"

"Okay" answered Tama and Micah at the same time.

"I heard from Mommy and Daddy, Sister Tama wants to get married? Is that true?" ask Keenan.

"Yes, I'd like to ask you the same thing, too" Micah chimed in.

"Hm" replied Tama.

"Hm?" Keenan and Micah repeated their brother's answer.

"Why?" Just back to questioning.

"Isa. Never mind. Not so, but whatever it is we are happy because finally Brother decided to marry again," said Keenan. "By the way why didn't you bring your sister-in-law here? Do we want to know him too?"

"No, necessary. You will also know him on Day H" replied Tama.

"When is the plan?" it was Micah's turn to ask.

"Next week."

"Well! Next week?! Seriously?!" cry Micah and Keenan together.

"Hm, so I don't need to recognize him now because soon you will also meet him" said Tama.

"Keep Taki and Maki?" ask Micah. He was curious about the response of the two boys.

"This is exactly what they want" Tama replied.

"So, I mean Brother... Brother married her because of Taki and Maki? Not because you love that woman?" ask Keenan to clarify the answer given by his older brother.

"That's different, brother. Sis married because at that time it was the only way to keep the good name of the family. Yep... Even though we are finally in love anyway," said Keenan again.

"Well, right? So, what's the difference? We all started the marriage with compulsion" Tama replied.

"Of course it's different. We never tried to close our hearts to our partner. But, you.... " Mikah paused his words. "You close your heart to any woman because you don't want to change the position of the late Kiara to another woman. So, stop all this before you hurt the woman" Micah said. He didn't want his twin brother to hurt someone innocent.

"I'm not here to ask your opinion. I just wanted to tell you guys that next week I'm getting married." Get up from his seat.

"Sister Tama.... "

"Tam.... "

"I'm leaving now! Tell mommy and daddy I go home first." Tama's up from there.

"Keep the chain of your heart by blaming yourself! If Kiara saw you like this, she would definitely not like it!" shouted Micah.

Tama paused for a moment and fell silent. However, a few seconds later he resumed his steps and came out.

"Sister..what do you think Brother Tama will be happy with this desperation?" Keenan asked his sister.

Micah breathed a heavy sigh. "Eitherway. But that's not what I'm worried about. I feel sorry for the woman Tama is going to marry" Micah replied.

"Honey, don't think about things that aren't necessarily happening. Do we not know that our soul mate is written in yaumul mahfudz? So, if they end up getting married. Believe me, He will surely cultivate love in their hearts." Dion spoke to appease his wife and sister-in-law.

Micah looked at her husband. "Tumben's talking like an ustadz?"

Dion scratched his non-itchy nape. "I heard an ustadz talk on youtube," Dion replied while showing the aforez youtube channel in question.

"Haish, basic!" Dion just showed me the horse's whimper.

Keenan. He also let out a heavy sigh when he thought about the fate of the woman his older brother would marry.

***

Taki and Maki were already sleeping when Tama came to pick them up at the Dewi's house.

"Are Taki and Maki naughty, Ma?" tama asked the woman who gave birth to his late wife.

"No. They are quite obedient," replied the Goddess.

"Before you bring them home, Mama will talk to you. Come with mama!" bring Goddess.

"Mirna, you packed Taki and Maki's things earlier. Just wake them up to go home!" tell Tama to the nanny of her two twins.

"Okay, sir," replied Mirna.

Tama followed Dewi's steps into the library room on the top floor of her house.

"When I was curious, what would the chatty Madam talk to Mr. Tama about," muttered Mirna. "Am I eavesdropping on ya."

Mirna stopped her excitement by packing the twins' luggage. He came upstairs to eavesdrop on Tama's conversation with the Goddess.

*

"I heard you're getting married, is that true?" ask the Goddess without further ado.

"Yes, Ma. This is Taki and Maki's wish" Tama replied.

"Well, I won't stand in the way of your marriage. Remember your promise, you will not open your heart to any woman. Don't love him before I give you permission!" The goddess gave a warning. "You must remember! Kiara died to give you a child. If she wanted to have an abortion and go through chemo, I'm sure Kiara would still be alive today."

Yes, Tama never forgot about it. Kiara deliberately hid her illness when she found out she was pregnant. He even refused the doctor's advice to have an abortion and undergo chemo for cancer he suffered. That's what made Tama feel guilty until now. He punishes himself by shutting his heart to any woman.

"I understand" replied Tama.

"You can go now! Please apologize to Bintang and Rangga for not coming to your wedding."

"Yes, Ma." Tama looked down respectfully. After that, he came out of the room.

Behind the wall, Mirna smothered her own mouth. He finally knew the reason why his employer always behaved ketus and impressed to keep a distance to the opposite sex.

"This includes good news or bad news for me huh?" inner Mirna. One side Mirna was happy because it meant, even though Tama married Kinara the man would never love her. But, on the other hand it means he also has no chance to be able to seduce his employer.
