Zahra My Choice Wife
No more burden

"Why should you be ashamed, Ma? Rey is your son too. Why should you be ashamed of your own son, meet him." Said Mr. Ganan trying to persuade his wife.

"Mama's afraid, if Rey won't forgive Mama."

"Who said? Rey isn't that kind of kid, I know exactly what Rey's like. Meet him, we don't have long. Everyone is waiting for the show to start. What would happen if the three of you were still just as cold in this event? meet your son Rey." Said Mr. Ganan who continued to persuade his wife to immediately resolve her problem.

In the room, Rey is with her husband. Aish continued to comfort her emotionally overwhelmed husband.

"I'm sure, there are no parents who distinguish from each other. All of that there must be a reason, maybe because you do not want to be frank from the beginning. Of course, Mama you thought there was no problem. Trust me, your mom loves you just as much as Zakka and Neyla. Don't be too deep, not only do you feel the longing for a mother." Said Aish who also remembered about his own fate, which he did not have the title of a mother from childhood.

At that moment, Rey realized from the words of his wife. In the face of his wife's face firmly, then hugged his wife's body tightly in his arms.

"I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry that I'm less grateful, I forgot that there are you who from childhood do not know who your parents are. Thank you so much for reminding me that I forgot the meaning of gratitude." Rey said as she rubbed his wife's back repeatedly.

"Darling, pelein . I'm having trouble breathing, baby."

"Sorry baby, I forgot that your stomach is getting bigger. I'm sorry your Papa is so careless, baby." Said Rey who realized his actions, then he seemed to invite to talk with his prospective baby.

At that moment, Rey and Aish heard a knock on her bedroom door. "Let me open the door." Said Aish who immediately rose from his position.

"Don't let me open the door. I'm afraid that door will be broken from the outside and wipe you out, baby." Rey replied, not allowing her to open the door.

Not wanting to argue, Aish prefers to give in from her husband. Then Rey immediately opened the door, how surprised he was when he found someone who was already in front of him.

"Mama, what's wrong?" asked Rey with a normal expression.

"Mama wants to talk to you with four eyes, do you have time to chat with Mama?" mama Maura answered and asked her son.

Aish, who could catch a remark from her mother-in-law, immediately came out of her room. Aish said goodbye first.

"Darling, sorry if I have to go out. I want to see Neyla and Omma, because I haven't given Neyla happy birthday." Aish said goodbye.

"Yes, it's okay." Rey replied with a nod, Aish smiled. Then he set his eyes on his mother-in-law.

"Ma, Aish stay first huh. Aish there needs to be Neyla, Aish forgets that Aish hasn't given Neyla happy birthday." Aish said goodbye to her mother-in-law.

"Yes son, Mama borrowed Rey first huh. Not long, just a minute." Mother Maura said, Aish smiled at her.

"Rey is Mama's son, fully a son is his mother's. Yes yes Ma, Aish saying goodbye." Aish replied with her friendly smile.

Rey and her mother are in the room. Both feel awkward like new people.

"What's the need to come here? what about Zakka? if so, Rey doesn't mind it. Maybe it was wrong Rey who from the beginning did not want to tell the truth with Zakka. Of course it's very painful for Zakka to accept, Rey is self-conscious about Ma." Rey asked, then she immediately spoke to the point before her mother blamed herself.

But unfortunately, it's not about Zakka's personality problems. Except for the problems between the child and the mother.

"That's not what you mean, baby. Between you and Mama." Mother Maura answered with a difficult gaze to interpret, then she sat down on the sofa. Rey was still speechless, she tried to digest the intent of her mother.

Out of curiosity, Rey finally sat down beside him.

"What does Mama mean? between Rey and Mama? Rey really doesn't understand."

When the two faced each other and were in the same seat, Mother Maura stared fixedly at the face of her first son who no longer looked like a child and a teenager, but was already looking mature. Slowly, Mother Maura moved her hands and touched her son's face. Rey was more confused, the more both eyes belonging to Mother Maura arrived at the river, his gaze looked full of regret.

Rey immediately grabbed both hands of her mother who was rubbing both cheeks.

"What problem, Ma? please explain to Rey."

"I'm sorry your mom, Rey. Forgive the selfish Mama, forgive Mama who never gave your full attention, forgive Mama who has hurt your heart, forgive Mama who many of these mistakes, forgive Mama who has ignored you for so many years. Mama's sorry, Mama's ready to take punishment from you, son." Mother Maura said and her crying broke before her son.

Rey hugged him tightly, she also let out her happy tears. The hug she missed, now felt warm more than a blanket and embers as a warmer.

Both breaths feel tight, so long between the child and the mother who never hugged each other. Likewise with Rey who has no stop stopping her tears. The shame Rey didn't care about when she was crying. Rey only expressed a million longings that had been quiet, and now has been achieved even though she had to with her sobs and her breath that felt tight.

"Rey dear Mama, allow Rey to make Mama happy. Did Mama allow all that?" ask Rey in her mother.

"You deserve Mama, and there's no barrier whatsoever for you to be close to Mama. You're also Mama's son, there's nothing different. You, Zakka, Neyla, are Mama's children. The three of you were born on the same day, just different times to take turns being born into this world." Answer Mother Maura who is also still in the arms of her son.

After enough and do not want to get more dissolved in sadness, Mother Maura and Rey the same as releasing her embrace. Rey looked at her mother's face, which was not as young as she had been when she was a child.

Rey wiped her mother's tears with a heart, a thin but happy smile on her face.

Likewise with Mother Maura, she also wiped the tears of her son who had soaked both cheeks.

At that very moment, there was Zakka who was already on the doorstep. Zakka's gaze no longer shone her eyes sharply. Now the gaze of his eyes turned to shade, still can not be denied if Zakka joined in her tears and wet her cheeks.

Slowly Zakka took up her wheelchair to approach Mother Maura and her twin sister.

"Mama, Brother Rey, I'm sorry Zakka." Zakka said while looking down, her voice was clear enough to listen to her.

Rey and Mother Maura immediately set their eyes on Zakka who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Rey squatted down in front of her little brother, then grabbed both hands.

"Zakka, I'm sorry. It's not my intention to take everything from you. I know, I was wrong. I beg you to forgive me, Zakka. If you forbid me to be close to Mama, I will give in. I'll never take it from you." Rey said as she lowered her head in front of her sister.

"Sister Rey doesn't need to apologize, brother Rey doesn't need to stay away from Mama. This has all been Zakka's fault and greed, brother. Forgive Zakka who is always selfish, forgive Zakka who does not know himself, forgive Zakka who wants to win himself, forgive Zakka." Zakka was full of regrets.

Rey immediately raised her gaze and looked at the face of her twin brother.

"You don't need to apologize to me, it's all because of our selfishness without being forthright from the start. This is how it becomes, we must be ready to accept the risks. Now that we're better, brother hopes there's no more hatred between us." Said Rey trying to smile, though still a little stiff.

Zakka smiled at him, then wiped her own tears. It feels awkward if Rey who has to wipe his tears.

At that moment, all his family members were gathered in the room. All were moved when they saw a scene that was no longer dominated by emotions.

Neyla, who was also the twin sister of her two older brothers, walked over and stood next to Zakka. Slowly, he slightly bent his body to align with his two twin brothers.

"Finally my two brothers are better and all the problems can be solved well, Neyla is happy to hear it and see the familiarity with both of you. Dear Neyla Rey and Zakka, we are one womb and born on the same day. Don't cultivate hatred, for we are brothers in the same room." Said Neyla, then Mother Maura rose from her position and approached her three twins.

"The three of you are Mama's children, now and forever. No one is distinguished, because you are the children of Mama. Mama love you guys, forever." Mother Maura said along with her.

"Hem, Mama's son is all this? no one's Papa's son?" ledek Tuan Ganan who also chimed in.

"Papa's son also dong .. yes?" sahut Neyla with a spoiled expression.

"By the way, her birthday, how about it? until I forget." Grandpa Angga said to chimed in.
