The Wife Pay
Let's Fix It

Dave looked at the body of the middle-aged woman lying on the hospital bed weakly. His hands stretched out to caress his cheeks.

“Sorry Mom.”

He realized that his mother's pain came from thinking too much about him. But what he could regret. Dave himself never wanted this to happen.

Slowly, Ms. Ratmi's eyelids opened perfectly. His eyes moved sweeping the room.

“Dave?” call lirih.

Dave smiled awkwardly, even though she was the mother who gave birth to him. But for the first time, he had to meet her face to face. “I'm here, Mom. Won't go.”

Dave ventured to hold his mother's hand, kissed her slowly. “Papa told me everything, Mom. He regretted his actions. But, regardless of that, please forgive him. He also did not want to be in this kind of situation. Let's fix our family relationship, ma'am. I don't want Mom to go back to depression, please lighten Mom's heart to receive this.”

Both of Ratmi's eyes glazed over. It turned out, that was the extent of his son's heart. Reminds me of her husband. In contrast to her being so stubborn, even her heart was filled with resentment. Slowly, Mother Ratmi changed her position to sit down, the direction her eyes immediately looked at her son.

“Will I try,”.

💞💞💞

Alana's still in Jonas' room. Although it felt awkward they continued to chat. Alana chose to forgive everything.

“So, Papa already has a grandson, Alana?” ask Jonas.

Alana nodded. “I–iya Pa. Her name is Gala.”

Jonas smiled, his hands clasping his daughter's hands, as if he didn't want Alana to completely leave him. “Papa saw it. He looked like Dave as a kid, adorable.”

Alana's forehead shriveled as she remembered she had not met the two. When they meet.

“Yesterday night Gizka showed you three photos, which finally made Papa search your home address.” Jonas said as if understanding his daughter's confusion. “All Papa doesn't want to care about Dave's business. But, somehow Papa's footsteps brought him to your house.”

Alana nodded slowly. “It's okay. At least with Papa coming, all these problems are revealed,” said Alana slowly. He also got the answer why since childhood Ratmi did not like it, often shows the look of his hatred. Only my father loved him so much. However, after being discharged from the hospital, the woman did indeed turn more tender and caring towards him.

“You're not angry, Alana?”

Alana shakes. “No!”

The door opened and Gizka came in with a fruity percel. “I bought fruit for you, Pa.”

Alana looked at her father's wife. However, they simply fell silent without throwing each other the ridicule like before. Then he chose to move. “I want to find, Dave. Papa rest aja.”

Get out of Jonas' room. Alana goes looking for her husband who she believes is in Ratmi's room. Alana held her breath as she arrived at the door. For the next few seconds, he opened the door.

She smiled when she saw her husband hugging his mother. It would be unethical if he disturbed them. Alana intends to move on from there. However, the reprimand from the husband undoes his intentions.

“Sayang?”

“Dave, I was just—”

“Come!” Dave took his wife's hand and brought her in. “Mother wants to talk to you.”

Dave sat Alana in the chair. “How, Mom. Mother-in-law is very pretty, right?” dave asked trying to melt the atmosphere because since then they both just fell silent.

“Iya. You're right, son. Alana is indeed beautiful since childhood, for that many who like her.”

“But I'm the luckiest, Mom. Can marry her!” decak Dave lowered his face and slowly kissed his wife's cheek, which immediately got a gift in the form of a pinch.

“Dave is too much, Mom. Even my eyes are as puffy as how she says I'm beautiful,” snorted Alana. Dave chuckled anxiously at her. “How is Mom doing?” Alana's diverting the conversation.

“Good Nak. I'm healthy." Ratmi's mother clasped Alana's hand. “Mom knows there are many wounds that Mother inflicts on your heart, because of the selfishness of Mother who hates your parents. I'm sorry, Alana.”

Alana shakes. “All has passed, forget it. I'm still proud to be your son, Bu.”

The door opened a Doctor came to check on Ratmi's mother. Alana and Dave sit on the couch

”Dave where is your phone?” ask Alana.

“What do you do?”

“Contact Silvi. Gala it's time for a nap. I'm worried she's fussy,” exclaimed Alana.

Dave gave his cell phone to his wife. Alana was busy calling. Dave laid his body into his wife's lap.
