The Mother Connect
Chapter 40

"Where are you, Wi?" asked Nando who was waiting for his wife to come home while reading the newspaper on the porch.

"From Tama's house," answered Dewi briefly.

Nando let out a long sigh then folded the newspaper in his hand.

"Until when, Wi?" The goddess who had just landed her buttocks on the chair to the right of her husband turned her head.

"When did it arrive?" replied the Goddess in a sharp tone because she already knew the direction of the husband's conversation.

"Wi, Tama is no longer our daughter-in-law because Kiara is dead. Don't you keep interfering in his personal affairs!" nando gave advice.

"I just kept Kiara's position. Lagian Kiara died because.... "

"It's fate" cut Nando.

Goddesses silent. Honestly, he understands that too. However, the ego in his heart made him deliberately close his eyes and continue to blame Tama for the death of his eldest daughter.

"Wi, you know. I'm ashamed of Rangga because of your selfish attitude. Aren't you ashamed of your best friend Star? You're not ashamed to continue blaming your best friend's son for Kiara's obvious death for fate?"

The goddess was silent again. Since Kiara's death, she had deliberately stayed away from the Stars because she did not want to feel bad about the mother of her daughter-in-law.

"But if Kiara wants to be protested maybe she is still alive today" said Dewi. Tears rolled back from the corner of her eye.

"Are you sure?"

Again. The goddess did not answer.

"Not necessarily the chemo can save Kiara. It's not just Tama who wants a child, but our daughter. Kiara desperately wanted to be a mother and it worked out before she died. So, you should be happy because our daughter managed to get her wish before she died, instead of blaming Tama. Remember, Wi. Not only are we sad and hurt over Kiara's departure, Tama too. And maybe he's more broken than we are. As long as you know, he even consulted a psychologist to be able to live a normal life as it is today. Did you know that Tama tried to end her life a few days after Kiara died?"

The goddess looked at Nando.

"You know about that?" ask Goddess.

Nando nodded. "I know all the things that happened to Tama. I know how devastated she was when our daughter died. She tries to get up so she can raise Taki and Maki until she finally can. So, now I'm asking you to let Tama live her life without Kiara's shadow. Let him live happily with his new wife. Let her feel love again, don't you put her in guilt. I beg you, Wi! I beg!" Nando had finished his words to give understanding to the Goddess and hope that his wife would understand.

The goddess did not answer. She just stared at her husband for a while then walked into the house.

"Kiara, I'm sorry that you haven't been able to make your mother conscious." Nando spoke in his heart.

The goddess went into Kiara's room first and sat down on the edge of the bed. All of Kiara's belongings are still neatly arranged there. Ranging from dolls when she was small to photos at the age of 5 weeks Kiara content.

The goddess took the photo and looked at him. Before finding out that her daughter's cancer had recurred, Kiara came to her parents' house to tell them she was pregnant. At that time Kiara looked very happy.

"Mother, look I'm finally pregnant. And the doctor said my son was twins. Look at the results of the USG. Those two little dots said their embryos." With happiness Kiara showed a photo of USG to Dewi.

"Yes, my mother is very happy. I'm finally going to be a mother." Kiara leaned on the Goddess' shoulder. He continued to smile while staring at the photo of USG in hand.

"Mother."

"Hm."

"If one day Mother is told to digeletin me or the fetus in my womb, I hope Mother will choose them, yes?"

"What are you talking about, Kia? Mommy believes you and your baby will always be healthy. Mother sure of that." The goddess rubbed the princess's long hair.

"I knew. But...if that happens and Mother is required to choose between me and my fetus, I beg Mother must choose my fetus huh? And when they are born later, Mother must also be happy for him. But, whatever happens don't keep him away from Mas Tama. Promise yes, Mother!" Kiara looked up at the face of the Goddess.

"Mother" whined Kiara when Dewi never gave an answer.

"Yes-yes, Mother of promise," replied the Goddess at that time.

"And one more, if someday Kia can not be happyin Mas Tama again, promise that Mother will make Mas Tama happy. Because when Mas Tama is happy, I will also be happy. And conversely, if he is sad, then I will be sadder than him. So, Mother must promise yes whatever happens Mother will fulfill my two wishes! Yea?"

Goddess nodded. Although he felt the words and requests of his daughter were strange, but the Goddess did not feel suspicious of anything. He kept wiping his daughter's hair many times. Kiara then hugged the Goddess tightly.

The goddess flinched from her daydream and wiped the photo of her daughter. In the photo it looks very happy that Kiara.

"Surely by then you have felt that your life will not be long, so you asked me to promise." Clear circles fell from the corners of the Goddess's eyes.

"Ciara. Mother misses you, son. Why do you have to leave so soon. Why?" While crying Goddess embraced the oldest photo.

Nando who was looking from the outside could only let out a long sigh. He could not bear to see the Goddess continue to cry and mourn Kiara's departure.

"Well, until when will Mother be like that? Poor Kia, if Mother continues like that." Arya, Kiara's younger brother is standing next to her father.

"Just pray that your mother will be able to immediately let Kiara go."

Arya nodded. "Definitely, Dad. Arya will definitely pray for Mommy" he replied.

"Aryan when are you getting married? Keenan already has a child, you have no boyfriend."

"I haven't thought about it, Dad. I want to focus on my career first" Arya replied, pointing out her horse's grin.

Nando just shook his head to hear the answer from his son.

...SERIATE...
