Wife Unconfessed
Great Quarrel

"Ma, I miss Mama. I'm sad to see Mama Riana and Papa fight just because of me, sorry Ma I've been a bad boy. I love Mama, Mama is calm in heaven" said Alana crying while holding a picture of her with her father and birth mother

Riana was so sad to see that, that she opened the door to Alana's room and went inside.

"Mama," said Alana who was quite surprised and looked towards Riana.

"Darling, sorry about what your Papa said. It's all Mama's fault, if only Mama understood your condition, Papa wouldn't be angry. Sorry also lately Mama and Papa like to fight in front of you," said Riana who is currently sitting next to Alana.

"Mama's not wrong Ma, it's wrong Alana. I made Mama and Papa fight. I'm sorry Ma, I can't be a good boy" Alana said with a cry.

"Darling, you're not wrong at all. You're a good boy, a smart kid, you're the proud son of Mama Devina, Mama Riana and Papa. Mama sure Papa is actually not angry with you, Papa is just worried about you why because Papa loves Alana so much. Papa is also being sapped after a day of work, so it becomes carried away by emotions," said Riana trying to calm the child's heart.

"Really Ma? So Papa's not mad at me?" Ask Alana.

"No dear, Mama sure later Papa will be good mood again. So Alana don't be sad, don't cry anymore dong, remove her tears" said Riana while rubbing Alana's tears gently.

"Thank you Ma" said Alana.

Riana nodded then grabbed Alana's body into her arms. After that Riana accompanied Alana, until the boy fell asleep then he came out of his son's room and went straight to his room.

When entering the room, Riana saw Steve who was already in the room first. Unlike usual if you have a fight, he will prefer to sleep on the sofa or sleep with his son. This time he was already in the room, although they always kept their distance while in bed and Steve always turned his back to Riana. Since Riana assumed Steve was asleep, after washing his face and using a series of skin care nights, Riana immediately threw herself beside the man.

"How's Alana doing?" Ask Steve suddenly.

"You haven't slept yet? Now that Alana's okay, she's asleep. I was with Alana for a while, sorry she looks so sad because you were scolding her and also because you saw our fight lately. You should be able to be a little more patient Mas, pity Alana if she just keeps seeing our quarrel just a trivial matter that she does not understand. I don't know why lately you've suddenly become emotional, you've always been cold and now you're grumpy. You were very different when you were living together with Devina, unlike now when you were living with me. Even you were kind to me when I was your best friend, but now you seem to think everything is wrong, little Alana has always been the victim," riana said that made Steve's emotions suddenly peak.

"What do you mean talk like that? So you blame me for making Alana sad. You are who Riana dared to talk like that. Don't stop me from marrying you and all this time I tried to be patient to survive with you, you were acting like a dream. You're getting more and more self-conscious, and you're even daring to lecture me about my biological son. I need to reiterate once again, you are only the wife I married because of the wishes of my late wife, even today I still love her very much. So don't ever wish if you could take her place and 1 you have absolutely no right to manage me to educate my own Son, let alone say that anything about Alana is trivial, you don't feel it because you don't have children. If you can't stand living in a household with me anymore, you can get out of this house!" Snapping Steve who is currently standing and staring at Riana sharply, of course Riana also stood up when she saw Steve woke up from his bed earlier.

"Yes, I'm aware of my position in this house. I am only a mother continued Alana and a wife who is not recognized by her own husband, my status is a wife but I never get my rights as a wife. I realize that, but I love Alana and I'm also a legitimate wife. You didn't forget Mas you married me in front of the ruler and also in front of the witnesses, so you couldn't at all, in the least, appreciate me, accept me as a wife. At that time I was also forced to marry you for following Devina's request, but I tried sincerely to live it. Why can't you be like that at all? If you still love Devina, you can't learn to love me at all, why do we keep this household. The shadow of her is always in your mind. I also did not intend to shift Devina's position in your heart or Alana's, but at least you accept me Mas, me who is now your wife, Devina is also no longer there, she will never come back" said Riana, who had finally let out a tear in her heart all along.

"Oh my God, can I still survive? Is it wrong if later I am not strong and leave this all," Riana's mind held a pain that was so deep, it felt that the torment of her soul was never stopping even more.

*****

Early in the morning after preparing breakfast, before Steve and Alana woke up because today was a holiday, Riana had already gone to Devina's parents who already thought of her as a child themselves. Because Devina is an only child, so only Riana can treat the longing of both parents.

"Thank you Ma, you shouldn't bother like this, I can do it myself" Riana said as her foster mother made her a drink.

"Together, this is not at all troublesome, dear. Honey, why don't you tell Mama to come here first, so Mama can prepare breakfast for you. Mama knows you haven't had breakfast, right?" Lily is Devina's mother.

"No need Ma, after all I came here early in the morning just miss Mama alone," said Riana who felt if only Lily could make her heart calmer. I don't think he can keep the problem alone anymore.

"Mama misses you too, baby. Where are Alana and Steve? Why don't they come, but it's a holiday" Lily asked.

"They haven't woken up Ma yet" Riana replied as she was.

"Ri, what's wrong with you? You having a problem with Steve?" Lily asked who could guess.

Riana nodded her head slowly, "Yes Ma, last night we had a big fight. Until now Steve still can not accept my presence, what I did was always wrong in Steve's eyes let alone about educating Alana. Ma, am I wrong if I just want to ask for my rights as a wife. All this time I've been hanging on, I've been trying to understand as Steve keeps comparing me to Devina, I understand because after all Devina was the wife that Steve loved so much that time even now. But it's been a year and now I'm his legal wife. I alone can try to sincerely live the household with him accepting Alana as my own child even though at first it was not at all easy. Why can't Steve do the same? I'm sorry Ma, I didn't mean to shift the position of Mama's Son in Steve's heart or in Mama's and Alana's heart, I just wanted to have my presence accepted," riana said with her tears that can no longer be weathered, so that it flows fast like river water.

Unknowingly Lily also cried because she felt very sad for what happened to her adopted child. Then he grabbed Riana's body into his recap, rubbed his shoulders gently, trying to provide comfort so that the adopted child felt calmer.

"You're here Riana?"

The voice of someone had shocked Riana to the point of breaking their embrace.
