"I don't know if Zahra is that bad. Is he to be found, Ma?" ask Deya.
"So far Edward's been with her so far that she doesn't have time to see you."
Deya let out a long breath.
"I know, Soraya's guilty. I also know you've been taking good care of my Edward. However, we are sometimes so confused that we cannot choose. It's Deya's heavy, but I can only convey this to you."
Mama Claudia was powerless to say what she wanted to say. He could see Deya was also already visibly injured. The boy was seriously in touch with Edward. Not just for fun or just for money.
"Do you love Edward?" ask Mama Claudia. It surprised Deya. The woman looked nervous and confused.
'Did it, I loved Mas Edward.' that question also spun in Deya's head for a few days. He misses Edward even though he didn't meet again. He could not sleep without inhaling its scent and he could not eat imagining the man had eaten or not.
"If it wasn't for love I wouldn't have survived until now" Deya replied firmly.
"Will that love allow a child to lose his or her life from distress?" turning Mama Claudia made Deya speechless.
"Zahra is my son and there is no way I will be happy with his suffering. I can hold everything back but the child is too fragile to know the conflict that occurred between his parents. We cannot sacrifice the happiness of a child for our own happiness. I am a woman who will give birth to a child." Deya swallowed her saliva hard. Find the right words to explain his feelings.
"The bottom line is, Zahra or my son must someday get his happiness. So I can't stand in the way of Zahra's happiness of having both parents. All this time he had suffered enough because of everything that had happened. The pain that attacked him, the care of his mother who was indifferent in his time made Zahra feel longing for that affection. Now that he has got it, will I stop him from getting his mother's love? It's impossible."
"Why do I say that because if I want, I ask Mas Edward to take Zahra from Mba Soraya but I do not want to see the new happiness Zahra gets lost instantly. Meanwhile, to be with his mother, Zahra had to lose her father because Mas Edward could not be with Mba Soraya."
"I know that. Edward has been too disappointed with Soraya" said Mama Claudia
"Would I go, Mas Edward would go back with Mba Aya?"
"Mama doesn't know but that's her choice."
"If that's Mama's mind then Deya will do because it's useless Deya survives if Mas Edward loses everything. The support of his parents, the loss of his son also lost his company. Edward wouldn't be happy if it happened to him even if he was with me."
Mama Claudia was surprised by Deya's mature and thoughtful thinking. He was amazed and amazed at the same time.
"Deya.." - Mama Claudia.
He got up and walked over to Deya and hugged her from the side. "I'm sorry Mama."
"There's nothing, Ma. Maybe this is Deya's way of life. People say if a soul mate is not going anywhere. If Mas Edward were my soul mate we would be together again even if the whole world was against. However, this time I chose to calm the situation by leaving the lives of all of you."
"So Mama took you for granted, thinking you're just an ambitious young woman who needs Edward's money. But after getting to know you more closely, it turns out you're a great woman. It is fitting that Edward adores you so much and always defends you even if everyone opposes and insults your relationship."
"Initially we were married just because we needed each other but our closeness was created by time." The tears that Deya had been holding back from earlier finally fell apart as well.
"Please don't hate Mama for doing this to you."
"Deya doesn't hate anyone. But hate on Deya herself who feels tired and gives up on holding on. It all feels hard to keep even for free."
Deya's heart is broken now. The farewell to Edward starts counting from now on.
"However, before that happens I want to meet Mas Edward one last time. Let Deya alone say this farewell. Mama don't say anything to Edward."
"I'm sorry, Mama, Son. You're my best daughter-in-law but dear Mama has to let you go when we meet as in-laws and daughter-in-laws for the first time."
"Hubungan menantu dan mertua tidak akan pernah putus walau hubungan suami istri telah putus," ucap Deya dingin. Dia sudah tidak bisa merasakan sakit lagi.
Deya smiled wryly.
"Ma, I just asked Mama to help me be with Mas Edward one last time."
"When?"
"Tomorrow can be."
"So fast?"
"The longer it's going to be the harder it is to do it."
"All right, tomorrow, let Mama wait for Zahra."
"Deya also wants to meet Zahra one last time before Deya leaves."
"You can ask your mom for help at any time. Just call Mama's number, so Mama's gonna call you first."
Deya nodded. She is no longer crying.
"Ma, sorry. Deya's tired. Deya wants to go into the room." Deya got up but Mama Claudia's hand held her back.
"Wait a minute." Mama Claudia opened her bag and gave Deya a black credit card.
"You can wear it to meet all your needs as long as you're not with Edward.
" Don't insult me Ma with that money. I don't need it. The money that Mas Edward always gave all this time was still intact was never used by Edward Deya."
Mama Claudia opened her mouth. He grew even more amazed at Deya after talking to her.
"Have Ma? If Deya wants to go to the room first to rest."
With a gontai move, Deya left the living room. Passing with his Mom and Dad, Deya is silent. Telling all sorrow through the eyes.
Deya passed by the two, walking into the room.
"Sir Deya is his spirit, it will not taste good anymore" said Royhan.
Deya's father and mother meet Mama Claudia again. They saw the woman wiping away her tears.
"How can you educate a princess that well?" said it. Making Ms. Ratmi come to shed tears.
"I am also not up to the heart to do this but this is for the good of all. Zahra is my only granddaughter and I can't bear to see her hit like that. I want Zahra to be able to live a normal life like she used to."
"We understand."
"I feel like I'm losing money if I have to lose a daughter-in-law as good as that and replace her with another daughter-in-law. But I have no choice."
"The patient mother will one day all return to the bright path. We're just trying. For everything to feel easy we have to think with a cool head."
"We're sincere about what happened. What matters is that everything will improve. One of my wishes, Mom. Pray for Deya to achieve her goals and live a quiet and happy life after this."
"Surely, Sir. My prayers will always be there for Deya."
