To be the Second

To be the Second
Longed.


Meyta still continued to rampage during the journey. Even to the hospital. A doctor even had to give her a sedative injection to get the woman to sleep.


Meanwhile, Pearl could only cry in Anna's arms when she saw her mother.


“Poor mom, Mom. Poor mama.”


Those words continued to be spoken from the lips of Pearl. Never would she have imagined if her mother, who was so strong, ended up in a mental hospital.


Since then, Meyta has been a patient at one of the mental hospitals in the capital. Wirra also made sure his wife was getting the best care.


From then on, Arkana lived with Anna and Wirra. Pearl and her grandmother chose to stay in their home.


However, Pearl is always bullied because the mother who suffered a vile disorder, making Wirra decided to bring Pearl moved from that school.


Wirra also put Pearl into a school not far from her residence with Anna. The man will continue to protect the Pearl. The teenage girl will be his son forever.


Pearls who moved with Wirra, made his grandmother, inevitably moved there.


“God is fair. She used to take your husband, An. He even made you very miserable. Look at the condition of that glass shard, now. You even managed to get her two children, even the broken glass mother, to love you and leave her in a mental institution! Hahaha..!”.


Yulia laughed out loud. However, Anna shook her head looking at the in-laws who continued to break open as Wirra and another man carried the belongings of Pearl and her grandmother.


“Don't be like that, Mom. What if Rara and her grandmother heard. However, the mistake Meyta made had nothing to do with Rara and her grandmother,”.


Yulia instantly closed her mouth. Even though the elderly woman was still trying to hold back her laughter.


“Anna loves Rara and Arka very much, Mom. Anna was so happy that they were going to live with Anna. Because of them, Anna felt like a perfect woman. If only they could stay with Anna. Anna will definitely be very happy.”


Yulia looked at her daughter-in-law gently. The elderly woman felt hurt and happy to hear the words of the son-in-law. She was hurt because Anna could not have a biological child, but also felt happy because now her daughter-in-law could be a mother.


“Then you pray Meyta will be crazy forever,” whispered Yulia.


The elderly woman again chuckled when she saw the son-in-law surprised by his words.


Although not God, but Yulia wanted to grant the request of her favorite daughter-in-law.


Unbeknownst to Wirra and Anna, Yulia comes to visit Meyta. The elderly woman approached Meyta and showed the harmony and happiness of her two children with Wirra and Anna.


“You see, they're all so happy. Arka also grows up to be a smart baby. It was all thanks to Anna taking good care of it. So, if you can, you stay here forever. Do not disturb the happiness of my children and grandchildren. Because they need more of a gentle wife and mother like Anna. Not a mentally ill wife and mother like you.”


Not only that once Yulia came to Meyta. Several times the elderly woman approached Meyta and reminded her daughter-in-law not to disturb the happiness of Wirra and Anna.


Meyta only looked at Yulia with a flat face whenever her in-laws came to visit her.


However, when Wirra and her children came to visit, Meyta also saw the truth of the words of the in-laws.


His two children, even his birth mother, looked so happy.


“Mey ... Just look, Arka can already walk,” said Wirra.


The man tries to get Arkana to walk over to Meyta. However, the tiny foot turned around and approached Anna.


Meyta's heart hurt so much to see it. The child she conceived for nine months, preferred to be with the woman she hated so much.


However, when the hateful look he made on Anna, the honey instead brought Arkana to him.


“Arka, this is mama. Mama who contains Arka, mama who breastfeeds Arka. In a moment, mama will recover and re-assemble with Arka and Mba Rara,” said Anna loudly.


Meyta cries as Arkana holds her. Before long, Pearl embraced him tightly.


Meyta returned the embrace of her two children. She misses her children even though they come to visit every weekend.


However, Meyta suddenly remembered the words of the in-laws.


They were happier with Anna. So, don't spoil the children's happiness because of your greed.


Suddenly, Meyta releases Arkana and Pearl from her arms. The woman even pushed Arkana. Fortunately the Pearl caught him immediately.


Meyta went back to rage. Arkana and Pearl came back crying in fear.


Meyta has decided. He will not ruin the happiness of his children. His mental state is unstable. Although he can recover, but no one can guarantee that his soul re-shaken. He was afraid that the events of a few months ago would repeat themselves. He won't go back to strangling his beloved daughter.


And since then, every time her family came to visit, Meyta was always screaming hysterically. The woman even went berserk and threw all the items that were nearby.


From then on, Pearl decided to change her mind. The little girl studied in earnest until she managed to get a scholarship at a leading university in Indonesia to major in medicine. Mutiara even got a scholarship abroad to specialize in psychiatry.


...----------------...


And a dozen years later, Pearl also found out why the mother did not come out of the mental hospital.


“Mama can't lie to Rara, now. Rara graduated as the best psychiatric specialist in Australia.”


Meyta with her gray hair, stared at the baby.


“So far you are studying abroad?”


The pearl nodded its head. Meyta smiled too. Pearl tears are flowing. For a long time she had not seen a smile on her face. A dozen years he only saw a flat expression on the face of his mother. Upon seeing Meyta smile, the Pearl immediately entered the warm embrace of the woman who had given birth to her into that world.


“Rara misses Mama's smile. Mama came home with Rara, yes,”.


Meyta let go of the child and shook her head.


“You can be a great doctor, can study abroad, it's all thanks to my mom who decided to stay here. Mama does not want to be a barrier to your happiness and Arka.”


“Jut Rara never feel happy because mom has not been out of this hospital. Rara told Dr. Rhida. Rara will bring mom home today.”


Meyta again rejected the wishes of the baby.


“Ma ... Rara served in Kalimantan. We'll both stay there. Mama does not need to meet papa and Miss Anna, if indeed mama does not want.”


However, Pearl was forced to break her promise. The girl brought her mother to meet Wirra, Anna and Arkana first, before she brought Meyta to Borneo.


“Why would you lie to us, Mey? Those kids need you,” wirra shrewdly while clutching Meyta's fingers.


“I just don't want to ruin your happiness. And in fact, you're all happy because there's no me, right?”


Wirra let out a long breath. He can't be disowned. He was indeed happier because Meyta no longer interrupted his activities with Anna. But, he also missed his friendship with Meyta.


“Thank you for taking good care of the kids, Wir. You're a great father.”


“Yes ... Maybe I'm a great dad. But I failed as a husband. I can't make you and Anna happy.”


Meyta shook her head, the woman immediately hugged Wirra tightly. “You're a good husband, Wir. But, good for Anna. Therefore, immediately take care of our divorce, so that you can live happily only with Anna.”


Wirra's stunned. Should he divorce Meyta?


And after a year of the departure of Mutiara and Meyta to Kalimantan, Meyta and Mutiara returned to the Capital.
