The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Mother Prayer

Happy reading!

After taking off each other's homesickness, my mother and I were already sitting in the living room. While Mas Denis immediately stepped into the room to put Keisha to sleep there.

"When do you get out, Lissa? Isn't your sentence 5 years?"

"I got a remission, Mom. Just this morning I was out and Mas Denis was picking me up."

"Then from today you live with your mother, right here? You see for yourself, right? This house is too big for my own mother."

"Actually I plan to find a contract at once for where I work, but if you really want me to stay here, at most I will only look for a contract for my place of business."

Hearing my answer, mother immediately commented her smile. There was no more hatred on his face than the last time I saw him in the hospital. True as Almira said in her letter, maybe she had explained everything until she was no longer angry with me.

"Mom, do you know anything about Mira's letter to me and Mas Denis?"

"Mom also got a letter from Mira, but I had no idea that you and Denis were getting the same letter. Where did Mira go? Why is it that when we should be able to get together again, Mira's gone instead?" My mother's face is back. Surely he was reminded of the departure of Almira who some time had forgotten.

"The patient mother. Anyway, I'm calm because me and Mas Denis are gonna find her."

"Thank you, Lissa. Though Mira has been wrong with you a lot, even because she is also Mom and Denis so much hate you and you also have to go to jail."

Hearing my mother's words, I smiled too. To me, it's all a part of the past that should have been forgotten. "Mom, it all started with my mistake. Mira is not wrong at all. After all, I took it all as a lesson that I could take his lesson. Maybe if I didn't go to jail, I wouldn't be what I am today. My mind is now much more open and I am so grateful to have made it through that dark phase of my life."

"Already, Mom. Don't cry anymore." I broke mom's embrace. Looking at the wrinkles on his face that were already older than I had last seen. "Now I have to be sure that Mira will be able to find us and then we can get together like before."

"That's also Mom's hope, Lissa. All this time I never knew that Mira had any intention to go and ask you to be Denis' wife again. Honestly, Mom herself was shocked by Mira's decision and I completely disagreed." Mom said that with great certainty. I could see clearly that mother had actually rejected the request from Almira.

"I'm relieved that Mom agrees with me. I've also told Mas Denis to start trying to love Mira and maintain his household. I don't want to ruin Mira's happiness, Mom. I also have someone I'm waiting for." When I was just done saying that, Mas Denis suddenly came and I knew he must have heard what I said.

"Thank you for having a candidate, Lissa. I hope you really find a man who can accept all your shortcomings because I'm eager to see Mom's children happy." With two teary eyes, Mom said that. There is a prayer in every word. Hope is also my hope. Not only my happiness, but I also want Almira to be happy with her little family.

Suddenly I was silent when I heard someone's voice coming from the front of the house. Somehow the sound was like a stranger to me to make my heart immediately beat and beat faster.

"What is possible ...." I quickly got up from my sitting position. Start walking towards the door to see who's coming. Meanwhile, Denis has only seen me since. Looking at me as if to say something.
