THE SECOND MARRIAGE
STILL A STORY AGO

“Then what happened mi??” Ask Wafa

“By the sense of guilt and despair, mommy is declared pregnant son. At that time my mother was very afraid, what would happen if my family knew that my mother was pregnant, and it was because my mother's fault trapped papi. Mami tried to contact papi and said that mami was pregnant, but at that time papi still did not want to be responsible. She refused to marry my mother, and again the reason is your mother, my mother thought, if the reason why I refused is your mother, it means that my mother has to see your mother. From there mami knows, why papi loves your mother so much, your mother has a sincere heart, she is very good.”

“What does mommy do??”

“Mami speaks four eyes to your mother, heart to heart as a fellow woman. Mami told the truth to your mother, that she was pregnant because she trapped papi.”

“What time did papi know that mom trapped him??”

“No boy, papi doesn't know.”

“And Mom??”

“Your mother hugs mommy, she cries and tries to calm mommy down. Mami's treatment is very unexpected son, mami thought your mother will be angry and blame mami. But it turns out he just hugged and calmed mommy. He said it would help mami get accountability from papi. Your mother is noble-hearted, she is even willing to give up the person she loves. In short, at the persuasion of your mother, papi wants to marry your mother and take responsibility for your pregnancy. And we actually got married after your mother decided to go and go home.”

“Mi, what is my biological mother Arsya mas??”

“Not son, Arsya's sister. Although mami and papi are married, but papi's attitude never changes, he does not love mami at all if it is not because of the sense of responsibility he married mami, and that was because of your mother's persuasion. With that attitude, mommy stress. Mommy is pregnant but mami never gets any attention from papi, and finally mami miscarried.”

“Mas Arsya?” Ask Wafa.

Mami nodded. “Mami is pregnant with Arsya, and we are very happy. Mami thinks we'll be happy forever, mami thinks all my suffering is over, but it's not. Unbeknownst to you, it turns out that papi investigated the incident that night. And papi was furious when he found out that it was mami who was the mastermind of the trap that night, he was furious until finally left the mother who was then pregnant Four months.”

Wafa clasped mommy's hand, he rubbed it gently. “Mami..”

“Mami it's okay son. It's just that the sense of tightness never goes away.”

“I'm sorry mi, I made mami remember that thing again.”

Mami clasped Wafa's hand, stacking her hand on top of her daughter-in-law's. “Because it's son, mom wants you and Arsya to get married. Mami owes a lot to your mother.”

“So mami made me a tumbal? To repay her mother's kindness Wafa mami forced me to get married??”

“Arsya??”

“Mas Arsya?”
