" Mama! said Mateo in a soft voice after he remembered clearly the face of the woman in front of him.
Hearing Mama's words, Maya seemed very happy. The boy remembered himself.
" Yes, baby, this is Mama. You remember your mom, right? Maya starts to launch her skit. It seems that woman is indeed suitable to be a drama queen.
Maya tries for him to grab Mateo's hand and tries to hug her. But Mateo steps back trying to avoid Maya.
Mateo hugged the feet of Mother Mary. Although he remembered exactly that the woman before him was his mother but his heart was not moved at all to hug or even get close to him. Because he felt he had no special impression of the woman.
Because in fact, during his stay with his biological mother, he never felt genuine affection. She was just cared for, fed, had a place to live but did not get the love and affection of a mother who loved her child.
During her stay in the house she was cared for only by a housekeeper. While his mother is busy with her own affairs as well as her grandmother who does not care at all about her existence.
And all of a sudden now his mother came by pretending to be considerate and caring to him.
Although Mateo was only a child but his heart and mind were already able to think more maturely. He can understand and understand correctly which is good and which is bad.
"Oma, Mateo doesn't want to meet him! Mateo said as she pointed her index finger towards Maya.
" But Mateo, honey, she's Mama Mateo! Mama Mateo came to see Mateo because Mateo misses Mateo! persuade Mother Maria.
" But Mateo doesn't miss him Oma! mateo said honestly. It made the woman offended and hurt that she was not missed at all by the boy.
" It can't be that, baby. After all, she is Mateo's biological mother who has given birth and cared for Mateo since birth.! Mary tried to open the child's heart to accept the woman. Because after all she is still her real mother.
" But he's not the one who took care of Mateo. Aunt who always takes care of Mateo! he said according to what he felt and experienced that was still attached to his memory.
Mary's mother understood. And he understands Mateo's feelings. And he did not want to force Mateo to accept the presence of his birth mother who had dumped him.
" I'm sorry Miss Maya. But maybe for now Mateo can not accept your presence! said Miss Maria bluntly.
Maya knows the time is not right. And in order not to leave a bad impression, Maya must be able to give a good impression.
" I understand Miss Maria, it was my fault for ignoring my son. That's why I always try to find the whereabouts of my son and want to avenge all that I have been neglecting some of his biological mother! said Maya with her face. But of course with a fake face.
Then Sophia appeared. He knew that the visitor came because he saw there was a parking car in the courtyard of the orphanage. He just doesn't know who the guest is.
When entering, Sophia immediately greeted and greeted the people who were there.
And when he saw Maya, he paused for a moment to stare. Because the face was like he had seen it but he could not remember where and when.
Seeing Sophia who had just come, Mateo immediately ran to greet her, calling her "Mama" and hugging her lovingly.
Of course seeing the heartwarming scene made Maya become jealous and emotional. How not to be jealous if his own child even his biological child is more affectionate to others than to his biological mother.
" Have you gone home, son? greet Miss Maria.
" Yes, Maya's mother. Mateo's mother! answer Miss Maria.
Hearing Miss Maria's words, Sophia was a little surprised.
" Yes, my name is Maya. I'm Mateo's real mother! sahut Maya.
" Oh! sophia with a casual expression.
Seeing Sophia's flat expression Maya became annoyed. She expected to see a more startling expression from Sophia. At least a sad or disappointed expression. But Sophia even looks ordinary even more confident.
" Oh yeah Mom I went back to see the kids. Excuse me, my lady please permit me first.! sophia tried to stay polite. As a good host should be able to behave at home and appreciate guests who come to visit the Panti anyone is the person.
Maria's mother nodded and smiled, giving Sophia permission. While holding Sophia's hand, Mateo also moved from there. She prefers to go along with Sophia from where on the theme with her birth mother.
Then they continued their conversation.
" Mrs Maya, for the time being maybe Madam can't take Mateo because we can't just give Mateo away. After all it seems like Mateo is not ready to go back to his family at the moment! mother Mary gave understanding to Maya.
" Yes, I understand. But I'm not going to give up on that. Because he's my son. The only one entitled to a child is his birth mother.! he reminded Ms. Maria.
" Yes, we understand too. Because we also do not want to separate a mother and her child. We even wish that no child should be separated from his own parents! reply Miss Maria.
" It's good that you understand where mom is! maya said with her haughty attitude again. Sounds cliche but striking. Fortunately, Mary was a patient and gentle woman. So do not be too dizzy with such unimportant talk.
" I'll say goodbye first. Next time I will definitely come again.! Maya finally resigns and returns home to Miss Maria.
"Greetings to my son Mateo! smith again. Maya immediately stood up and moved from there.
Mary delivered him to the door. Maya immediately put it in the car and immediately drove fast. Maria's mother came in and joined the children of the Panti who were playing together with Sophia and the other nanny's sister.
And look how happy Mateo is to be with his friends in this place. It was different when he saw his mother coming. Almost without expression. There was no twinkle of joy or happiness in being able to meet his biological mother.
Unlike other children who really miss the figure of a biological mother.
The experience of living together with his biological mother turned out to make Mateo not so enthusiastic to meet his biological mother. There are no sweet memories that make his heart to miss his mother.
Although living and living together for approximately 5 years, but it is the same that he lives like he has no mother at all. Throughout the day 24/7, Mateo was taken care of by a domestic assistant who also took care of her not wholeheartedly. Just because he got paid, he did it. No more than that. So it's no wonder that Mateo doesn't feel the affection of anyone in the house.
And when he was in this place, he got what a child his age should feel. Compassion, attention, love and feeling appreciated. Although not from his own biological family, but he experienced more than his own biological family.
And look at the happiness these poor children are receiving! When their families threw them away and abandoned them, God still loved and protected them through the loving hands of the residents of this orphanage.
It is not wrong if in the end they do not miss and expect the presence of their family back.
God darling.
