A Pair of Lotus Flowers

Meet Mamahku

The Jakarta-Bali flight did not take long, so I could calmly enjoy my trip even though I was pregnant.Although I was very worried about the state of papah later,but for now I feel calm at least I have told you that I will stay with my mother.

Upon arrival at the airport, I immediately contacted my mom using the number I just used.But unexpectedly it turned out that my mom picked me up at the airport.

"Mamah, nara kangen equally mamah" Shouted me while hugging mamah.

"Nara, finally you can meet again dear" said mamah.

"Oh yes, ma'am, you picked me up alone?" I said, looking left-right.

"She picked you up alone because Ricard again prepared food for our lunch later."

"Ricard who's mah?" Askaqua.

"Later until home you also know, later all my friends introduce."

We also came out of the airport and went to the place where the mamah lived.Balong the way felt the atmosphere of Bali that I had long forgotten, it felt very peaceful and calm, in contrast to the capital of Jakarta.

After about 15 minutes on the way, we also arrived at the mamah house that looks green and beautiful because of the many trees in the yard.I was immediately welcome to enter and that was when I met Ricard.

"Nah Nara, introduce this Ricard husband mamah now" said my mother.

"Hello I'm Ricard, turns out you're just as beautiful as your mom" Ricard said.

"Hello om, I'm Nara.Hehe thanks for the compliment" I said a bit clumsy.

I was thinking mamah married a man who was much younger than him like his former girlfriend, but apparently not.Ricard is an Australian bule who is the same age as my papah and since married to mamah,he has become an Indonesian citizen.

My first impression of Ricard was quite good, I did not feel uncomfortable when I had to talk or when there was between the two of them.After lunch the three of us also watched TV together without feeling awkward.

"Nara, I have one request for you" Ricard said as he enjoyed his snack.

"What request is it?" Askaqua.

"I've actually been married but have no children, when I married your mother we did not allow to have children.So, can you call me Daddy?I'd love to hear that call from my son." Ricard.

I who was surprised to hear his request immediately became embarrassed, because I did not expect to have to call someone else with that name.

"Okay Nara try Daddy?" I said with a smile.

"Nara, may you accept Ricard as your Daddy?Mamah does not ask you to make him a substitute for your papah, but mamah hope you can appreciate him as a loved one"

"Yes mah Nara knows, in the future Nara will try to get closer to Daddy" I said while staring at mamah.

By nightfall I was beginning to feel like something was missing,I feel not used to the atmosphere of the room here.I am also not used to the absence of papah and also Beni.When my eyes are almost asleep suddenly mamah entered my room.

"Nara, are you sleeping, son?" Ask me.

"Nara just want to sleep.What is mah?"

"Nara, you're actually wondering why did you choose to live with you now?Actually mamah can ask you tomorrow, but mamah wants to chat with you together without Ricard."

I took a deep breath, preparing my heart to tell my mother everything.I started telling stories from the beginning when Beni and I started dating until Beni was engaged to the Princess

"And now I'm pregnant with Beni mah's child" I said, looking down.

"What's?You pregnant?" Ask a mom who looks shocked.

"Yes mah, maafin Nara ya mah.Mamah must be very disappointed with Nara.But Nara does not know where else to go other than here,Nara has tried to decimate the content of Nara but Nara can not.This child grows healthy in the womb of Nara mah" Revealed me while crying hugging the hand mamah.

"Dear already, you do not need to cry.Mamah understands kok, during this time you must have difficulty and your choice to keep the baby is right, it is right,the baby deserves to live dear.Mafin mamah yes because mamah is not there when you are in trouble" said mamah while hugging me.

Hearing that I was crying more and more, I did feel very difficult after my parents divorced.And as long as I had that difficulty, only Beni was there to accompany me.

"Actually it's not purely your fault either, from the beginning it should be mamah and papah think about the possibility of this happening.But we are too insensitive, too,though we adopted Beni when he and you went into puberty.Where you already have an interest in the opposite sex" explained my mother.

"But if you were still with us at home, would you agree with our relationship?"

"Mamah would agree kiddo, asal mamah happy child.Toh you also have no blood relation at all so there is no problem" said my mamah.

"If papah?Do you agree, okay?"

"If your papah is a bit difficult, he's the head of the family, he must also consider the family's good name.Especially he has many colleagues who already know that we adopted a son."

What mamah said was true, because it was also what Beni and I had been thinking about.Makanya so far we never dared to reveal our relationship to Papah.Papah is indeed a good person, but we have never dared to express our relationship to Papah,but the good name of the papah family can not compromise.

After a long conversation until midnight,mama and I both fell asleep in my bed.I feel I am back to being a child who when I was a child slept with mamah.Padahat soon I will also have a child who must sleep with me.
