A Wound

Chapter 77's

When looking at the sad face of Mama Reta, suddenly guilt overcame Ara's feelings. He shouldn't keep hiding the truth to mama Reta, after all Alea is her flesh and blood.

Slowly Ara nodded her head, confirming the words of mama Reta.

"All right?" mama Reta asked reassuringly. And Ara nodded her head again. Seeing that mama Reta quickly grabbed the body of Alea who had just kept silent staring at the two.

"My grandchildren!" Mama Reta kissed Alea all over her face and hugged her granddaughter tightly. "Mama is very sure, if she's a granddaughter when you know your mother," said mama Reta shed tears happy.

"Are you just trying to make your mom happy?" said Ibra who still does not believe what happened.

"No!" ara replied.

"Look at me" said Ibra, making Ara raise her head to look at Ibra. For a moment their eyes stared at each other, "So that's right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then why didn't you tell me when we met? Do you intend to hide it from me?"

"Sorry! But at that time Ara did not expect to meet sister there. Seeing you guys so close makes me feel scared that you're gonna take it from me."

"But he's my son too."

"Yes sorry!"

Just now Ibra wanted to ask again but he paused when he heard the ringing of Ara's phone. Ara then slightly moved away to pick up her phone call which turned out to be from Abyan who said that Miya had given birth.

When going back to Ibra, Ara was presented with a very moving view. Looking at Ibra's face that looked very happy, her smile seemed to expand with sparkling eyes while continuing to stroke Alea's face and kiss her. And not much different from Ibra, Alea also looks very happy to get such treatment from Ibra.

"Yamaa!" alea shouted towards Ara "Is it true Om Ibra papa Alea?" aela asked Ara.

"Yes baby!" ara answered smilingly reaching for her daughter's hand, then walked towards Ibra and mama Reta. "Maybe mama and brother Ibra wanted to be with Alea first" he told mama Reta and Ibra then crouched down on his daughter. "Alea stayed here tonight, would you?"

"Yes, ma." Alea replied excitedly, "but mama's staying over too, right?"

"Don't love, Maya's in the hospital now, so mom accompanied Maya first. Tomorrow mom will come to pick Lea up. "

"All right!" alea replied.

"But promise, Alea don't be naughty!"

"Yes ma Alea promise."

Ara hugged Alea for a moment before returning to her feet while wiping away her tears that had suddenly fallen.

"Then Ara said yes ma!" he told mama Reta then turned to Ibra. "Ara titip Alea yes brother," he said who then get a nod from Ibra.

"Fra! thank you, mom is very happy" said mama Reta.

"Yes ma. Then Ara said goodbye, Assalamualaikum!" he said then turned around leaving the three.

"Glamma!"

"Don't forget to pick up Lea ya ma!" alea shouted as Ara was already away, but Ara did not answer her and further accelerated her pace. Ara did not want her daughter to know that she was crying right now.

Somehow he felt unwilling to leave Alea there. He was afraid that Alea would be comfortable with them and would leave.

After coming out of Ibra's apartment, Ara sped up her footsteps.But the more she sped up, her tears also fell more and more, until she finally stopped her steps and crouched down, dropping her head in the folds of her hands, and her eyes fell more and more, shed all his sadness.

"Take it!" ibra said giving her handkerchief.

"Thank you" he said grabbing the handkerchief.

"Don't worry, I won't take it from you. He's yours, I just want to be with him for a while" Ibra said of the worries Ara was feeling.

"Ara won't ban her when you want to be with her" Ara said as she occasionally wiped away her tears.

"alright. Then I'll take you home" Ibra offered.

"No, Ara can go home alone."

"Come on!" Ibra stepped ahead of Ara, without caring about her refusal.

Both are currently in the car. Ara continued to be silent covering the turmoil of her heart that was currently building up. His longing for the figure of the man beside him was slightly treated by being beside him even without touching him.

"Maybe you think I'm a fortune teller" Ibra said.

"meaning?" ara replied not understanding.

"Although I know you're thinking about me right now, but still I don't know where to take you?" her reply smiled slightly, making Ara glare in disbelief at what she heard.

"Ma.af.sister can take me to the hospital." Ara replied in a stammering manner making Ibra laugh.

"You know, when you left Alea said Mama must have been crying again and she looked sad when she said that," Ibra paused "Did you cry in front of her often?" tanyakanya.

"No!" answer Ara quickly. "I also don't know how Alea could think that" he continued, denying that Ibra laughed, as he recalled hearing Alea say that her mother cried so much for her papa. "It turns out you haven't changed at all." - Ibra.

"But Alea is not wrong!" ibra's words made Ara speechless. "Oh yeah, what do you have to do with Abyan?"

"He's Miya's husband."

"Miyas? Really? How I didn't realize it, when I was at the wedding."

"Sister to Miya's party?"

"Yes, I came to look for you." Ibra replied making Ara turn to look at her.

"seeking me? Why?" tanya Ara did not understand.

"What's wrong with me looking for my wife who's gone and not coming home?" ibra's reply made Ara not believe in hearing it, how could she say that, whereas she herself told Ara to leave.

"Sorry! I was looking for you to say that. Sorry for misunderstanding you, I got too carried away by that emotion and..."

"It's okay. It's been a long time, I've forgotten it too, maybe we should not remember it anymore, " said Ara cutting off Ibra's speech, he just did not want to recall his pain at that time. Ibra became silent afterwards, maybe Ara did not want to forgive him, he thought. And there was no more conversation until they arrived at the hospital.
