The Mother Connect
Chapter 34

"Yes, Lady Goddess. Pity Den Taki and Den Maki for eating provisions made by Mrs Kinara they had to be hospitalized. Really pity them. Where Mr. Tama seems to turn a blind eye to Mrs Kinara's mistake," Mirna explained by telephone.

Once at home, Mirna immediately carried out her plan to use the Goddess. The mother of Tama's late first wife is a person whose opinion is still heard by Tama.

"So, Tama didn't give any punishment to his new wife for this mistake?" ask the Goddess from across the street.

"Yes, Madam. Mr. Tama also told me to go home when I reminded him of that." Mirna took a deep breath so that she seemed to regret everything that happened. "Miss Tama seems to be starting to like the woman and forget about the late Mrs Kiara" Mirna added. She knew the Goddess would at least like it if Tama forgot her dead daughter.

"I'll see Tama tomorrow and talk to her."

Mirna smiled happily, finally the plan to influence Dewi succeeded, just waiting for how the woman punished Kinara.

In the morning the goddess came to the hospital. If not for the prevalence owned, he has not been allowed to enter to visit because the visiting hours began at 10 am.

Kiara's mother met Taki and Maki in her room.

"Darling, how are you two doing now? Okay?" the Goddess asked her two grandchildren.

"Good, Grandma. We can't wait to go home instead" Maki replied innocently. "Ohya, Grandma, meet this mama that Taki and I often tell grandma." Not to forget Maki introduced Kinara to the Goddess.

"Hallo Mistress Goddess, I'm Kinara." Kinara who was standing at the side of the twin bed introduced herself as she reached out.

The goddess ignored Kinara's hand. "It turns out you're nothing compared to my daughter, Kiara. It's only right that Tama doesn't consider you a wife." The goddess stared cynically at Kinara.

Kinara did not say a word, she just let out a heavy sigh.

"Surely you think I don't know about your deal? You are so wrong, Tama never kept anything from me even though I was just her mother-in-law. And just so you know whenever Tama will never love you, so don't expect anything from your marriage to her!" the Goddess half whispered. She did not want Taki and Maki to hear her words to Kinara.

"Madamie don't worry, I already know that," Kinara replied casually.

"Is this the reason you hurt Taki and Maki?" Dewi drew her own conclusions based on Kinara's answer just now and her talk with Mirna last night.

"Hurt Taki and Maki? So, Madam thinks that I purposely made them this way because of that?" ask Kinara.

"Maybe, right? You're not their real mother and I don't know if there's a stepmother who loves her stepson sincerely. That is the reason why there are stories about Red Onion and Garlic in Indonesia. Also a story about the cruelty of other stepmothers," replied the Goddess.

"If that's your opinion of me, I'll accept because everyone is free to argue."

"So it's you who've made my two grandchildren care here?" ask the Goddess with a sigh.

"Sorry Madam, even if I answer that is not true, if the Madam already thinks all that is true what can I do? So I will not deny or justify. But obviously I love them, maybe not as much as your daughter's affection for them, but my feelings for them are sincere" Kinara replied.

"Mama, I want to eat bribed with Mama!" Taki suddenly whined for a feed.

Kinara glanced at the Goddess to ask for permission.

"Let grandma suckle ya?" tawar Goddess to Taki.

"No, I want to be bribed with Mama" Taki refused.

"I also want to be bribed by my mother." Now it's Maki's turn to whine.

"Yes-yes, you're a bribe mama." Regardless of Dewi again, Kinara took the rice that was already provided by the hospital.

"Now aaa.... " Kinara feeds a spoonful of rice to Taki and Maki's face alternately. The two identical twin boys looked happily fed by Kinara.

"Mas Tama slept in the waiting room last night, maybe she's still there now" Kinara replied.

"Yes, I'll find him there. Look out if you're doing my granddaughter again!" After saying this, Dewi sauntered out of the nursery of Taki and Maki.

Kinara flanged while exhaling her breath. "Why does he hate me? My feelings have nothing wrong" muttered Kinara. He did not understand why anyone immediately hated others when they first met.

"Pak Tama said that no one else would know about the deal, but it turned out that he himself leaked it to others. You can't be trusted!" Kinara felt annoyed that Tama had already lied to her.

"Ma, Mama why?" ask Taki.

"Yes, Ma. Mama why?" Maki also asked.

"It's okay. Let's continue so let's get you home quickly" replied Kinara. He returned to feed the two sons.

Tama was chatting on the phone when Dewi met her in the hospital waiting room. Using a hand signal Tama invited the mother of Kiara to sit down.

"Later call again, thank you for the cooperation," said Tama ended the phone call. He then walked closer to the Goddess, not forgetting that he also kissed the back of the woman's hand as a form of respect.

"Why don't you want to come here?"

"Why? No can? You deliberately didn't tell me about the thing that happened to Taki and Maki?" ask the emotional Goddess.

"Sorry, Ma. I forgot my mom about them."

"Remember Tama! Besides your son Taki and Maki are my grandchildren, so I also deserve to know the news about them."

"Yes, Ma, I know. Forgive me for forgetting about this, Mama" replied Tama.

"Or don't you deliberately discuss this because it's true, if Taki and Maki are this because of your new wife? Huh yeah?" accuse Goddess.

"Mama's wrong, they're not like this because of Kinara."

"Ouh... So you're defending that woman? Remember Tama the woman hurt was your son. Not anyone else, so don't defend that woman just because she's your wife. Understood!"

Tama sighed, arguing with the Goddess was indeed useless. The woman will always look for the faults of others even though the person is not wrong.

"Some of you still remember your promise that you will not love any woman including your wife before I give you permission" continued Dewi.

"Yes, I remember and I was trying not to fall in love" Tama replied.

Hearing Tama's reply, the Goddess frowned.

"Whatchu mean? Don't you start falling in love with that woman." Goddess guess.

"My answer is Tama, are you starting to love that woman? Huh uh?"

Tama is silent.

"Yes! Answer my question are you starting to love that woman?!" Dewi slightly raised the volume of her voice because Tama did not immediately answer the question she asked.
