The Shackles of Love

The Shackles of Love
Chapter 10 | Statement General


Tonight Raya released her longing to her mother. He recounted all the activities during his separation from his mother. Only a few days Naura did not monitor her son, it turns out that now Raya already has a lot of vocabulary. Especially when Raya asks why he has no papa. It was also Naura's heartbeat as if she wanted to stop. He did not know why suddenly Raya asked like that, whereas previously Naura had explained if the papa was no longer there, in the sense that she did not say if the papa had died.


"Why ask like that, son?" asked Naura nervously.


"Because all my friends at school have papa. Kak Khanza also has papa as well as Alma, but why does Raya not have?" tanya Raya's.


"Because Papa Raya is dead, dear," Naura said in her lie.


"Then why did Mama never take Raya to papa's grave?"


This time Naura was cornered by his words. How he will take Raya to his grave while his papa is still fresh wal afiat.


"Yes sometime Mama will take you to papa's tomb but now you're bobbing first! It's night, tomorrow it's school." Naura tries to divert the conversation so Raya doesn't constantly talk about her papa. The boy obediently obeyed Naura's words to sleep.


Throughout the night Naura was difficult to close her eyes. Raya's question was still ringing in his mind. Coupled with the words of her brother who said if Raya still needs affection from a father. Tonight his mind was so screwed that he couldn't sleep. 


In his unease, Naura's phone suddenly rang. He frowned as an anonymous number floated on his phone screen. As it was getting late, Naura chose not to raise the call. However, in fact, the call did not feel desperate until Naura wanted to pick up the call.


"Who, anyway? his gerrick.


Out of curiosity Naura finally raised the call. 


"Hello" said Naura.


The voice from across made Naura's chest pound strongly. Who else if not Arya. I don't know if there's any need for midnight Arya to contact him.


"What's up, Om?" ask Naura flatly.


"I just couldn't sleep and your shadow filled my mind. Are you all right?"


"Not to worry, I'm fine. If there's no other need, I'll hang up" Naura said.


However, who would have thought if from across there Arya begged Naura not to turn off the phone first, because she still wanted to hear her voice.


Naura who heard only gulped down her saliva. If only to prove that he is not barren, why not prove with another woman who is much more beautiful than him. Why must he himself?


"Na, you still hear, right?"


"Yes, I still hear. Um, I told you before that I can't marry Om Arya. Please understand, Om!" Naura was still adamant about her stance.


"But why, Na?"


"Sorry Om, I have to rest." Seconds later Naura chose to close her call, because if it continued their conversation would never end. Arya will continue to force Naura to marry him.


Just now that Naura wanted to break down her body, she was shocked by the highway that had been staring at her.


"Who are you on the phone with?" tanyakanya.


Again Naura had to swallow her saliva rough. He did not know since when Raya woke up.


"You awake, honey?" asked Naura nervously.


"Mama, answer my question! Why don't you marry Om Arya? Is it true that Raya is an illegitimate child who has no father?"


The question that made Naura's heart was about to be released again. How could Raya think that far at her age of just six. There must be someone who has provoked the thoughts of Raya.


"Kok Raya can think like that?"


"Because there's a friend of Raya who says if she doesn't have a father, it means she's an illegitimate child. Is it true that Raya is an illegitimate child?"


Naura was really very surprised by the acknowledgement of Kingdom. "Astaghfirullahaladzim, son. That's not true, dear." Naura immediately hugged Raya's body as she wiped away her tears. He did not expect if the question could come out of the lips of Raya.


Oh my God, what should I do? Am I being too selfish that I don't think about how Raya feels. Are you currently gesturing for me to accept Om Arya's invitation to marry?
