The Shackles of Love
Chapter 17 | The Wise Kingdom

As creatures of God we can only plan, but God determines everything. No one can fight against destiny. Life and death have become divine secrets.

While Arya is happy because she has managed to marry Naura, who would have thought if she would also get bad news from the hospital. The woman he called her mother apparently chose to leave before Arya showed Raya to him. A grandson who has been dreaming for a long time. However, when Arya was about to show the Kingdom, it turned out that fate said something else. God loves his mother more.

"Om Arya isn't papa?" naura asked as she looked at Arya who was speechless after receiving a phone call.

Arya's head shook slowly. "Everything's not according to plan, Na. Mama is gone" said Lirih Arya with a blank look.

Naura rounded her eyes wide. "I mean Arya, mama left?" ask her doubtfully.

Arya nodded slowly. "Yes. And today is my happy day, where I can marry you and I also want to show you the Kingdom, but God wills another."

Raya who was in Naura's lap also felt sad, even though she did not recognize her grandmother.

"Om Arya is patient. Although mama has not had time to see Raya, at least mama has believed that Om Arya is not man.dul. I'm sure my mom is happy to see we're together. I'm sure behind all the calamities there will be a silver lining. Om Arya must be patient and strong, there is me and Raya beside Om Arya," comforted Naura.

Arya nodded slowly before running her car. Arya should be able to see a smile on her lips because the grandchild she wants is already in front of her eyes. But unfortunately not yet had the same time mama saw Raya, the woman had left.

An atmosphere of grief enveloped Aryan's parents' house. Because the Aryan family is a well-known family, it is not surprising that there are many people who serve, including Aryan colleagues.

The arrival of Arya became the center of attention of mourners because Arya took a woman and a small child. They wonder who Arya brought. Now the steps have arrived near the body of the mother who has been forgiven. As he approached, the move was held back by his uncle.

"Ar, this is a sad atmosphere. I hope you don't shake the mourners present" he whispered.

Arya frowned in surprise at the uncle's words, but he did not respond.

Raya's eyes stared intently at the uncle of the papa, not even a blink. Likewise with uncle Arya who was no less surprised when he saw Raya was in good condition.

"Raya, what's wrong with you, son?" naura asked as she realized the boy who kept staring at Arya's uncle.

The little head nodded slowly. "It's okay Ma. Come inside!"

Pretending to be tough is not easy, but Arya tries to be strong so as not to look weak. Even Arya tried to hold back her tears from wetting her cheeks.

"Om, we're going home. It's afternoon!" persuade Naura.

It has been almost 2 hours Arya reluctant to go home and choose to keep staring at the navel engraved with her mother's name. Although she was, mute but her heart was crying. Suddenly, a small hand hugged her to touch her shoulder.

"Death will come to every living thing. Sooner or later death will come to us. It's just a different way. I'm sure Grandma left quietly, even though I couldn't see me. Papa don't be sad, if Papa is sad, Grandma far away will be sad. Although fate separates, but the grandmother is happy and relieved because Papa is not like others accuse," said Raya with a straight look to the tombstone.

Naura and Arya sat at each other. Even Naura was surprised by the words of Raya who was so mature. Though all this time Raya was not a wise child. However, this time Naura was surprised by her son's words.

Arya's lips only smiled faintly at the child she had longed for. His hand was stretched out to touch Raya's cheek. "Thank you, Honey. Papa is not sad, but still can't believe why your grandmother left so quickly. He hasn't even seen you. We promised we would meet."

Hand Raya also wiped the tears that fell just like that. "Papa don't cry. Now there is Raya and also Mama who will accompany Papa."

Because of the persuasion of Raya, Arya finally rose to leave the navel of the mother. In a state of grief, he did not deny that he felt very happy with the presence of the Kingdom that was able to give strength to him.

While traveling Raya fell asleep in Naura's lap. At that time Naura also expressed the failure that had happened to Raya.

"Om, does Om Arya feel that there is something strange about Raya? I feel like she is not a Kingdom, because Raya never speaks so wisely, Om," Naura said in silence.

Arya who does not know how the nature of the Kingdom can not give a response, but she felt very grateful because Raya could have an extraordinary policy.

"Maybe it was spontaneous words because Raya felt sorry for her papa" said Arya.

Naura nodded slowly. Hoping if he was too excessive to judge the attitude of Raya. Even though in his heart he felt something strange.
