Being a Connecting Mother

Keep Living

“ You sure really want to see my mother, if you are afraid we can go now ” persuade Scarlet again but soon Adira shook her head quickly.

Early in the morning after yesterday he came to the house to keep his promise to Adira, Scarlet picked up Adira according to her promise so that Adira could meet her mother.

“ If Mom is angry later you should just go straight away ” said Scarlet can only give the last warning.

Seeing the girl's unshakable determination reminded Scarlet of her conversation with Zein last night.

The Flashback

“ So Big Brother is really going to get divorced with Adira? ” ask Scarlet seriously to Zein.

“ Correct ” Zein short answer.

“ Big brother's sure it's the right decision? Brother has no intention of keeping the divorce going? ”

“ That's the best for now, Adira has also been thinking about this divorce for a long time. That's what he wants ”

“ Then does Brother want this divorce too? ”

“ My wish is not important, Scar. The important thing is that the girl wants her life freedom back not the suffering of being in this house ”.

“ Adira should indeed be free she should feel happiness, but that does not mean by releasing the girl then she will be happy. I know by just looking at how much the girl loves the ” kids that's what Scarlet rated.

“ But in this house no one can repay his affection ” Zein said because he knows how his children do not treat Adira well, not only the children but Zein himself could not treat the girl gently.

“ Brother remembers a long time ago Mother forced me to marry Brother replacing Kak Starla as a mother for children. But I immediately rejected it because I knew the affection I gave would not be the same as a mother's affection. Even to be close to Lily was difficult. But look how close Adira is to Lily, she can give a mother-like affection to the children. Then you think the girl would be happy if away from the children she loves? ” Scarlet explained at length so that Zein would understand and immediately stop the divorce.

“ As long as I know the girl every time she makes a decision. Then he won't change that decision. Adira has a strong determination no matter who wants to stop her. Adira has decided to divorce ” Zein is actually afraid if their divorce turns out to be giving new suffering as Scarlet said, as Scarlet said, but she also can't ignore how much Adira looks forward to the deal ending so she can get out of the house immediately.

Flashback Off

Scarlet finally confirms Zein's remark that Adira has a strong determination that won't waver no matter how many times Scarlet tries to stop her.

“ Mom wake up for a while there are guests who want to meet with Mom ” Scarlet said as soon as they entered Glory's nursery, Mother.

Glory turned her body facing the voice.

Adira looked at Glory with sympathy as well as sadness. A few days ago when he met the middle-aged woman, he seemed very tough and also hard at the same time. While now seen by Adira is a middle-aged woman who is already vulnerable, there is no longer a hard side that appears on the woman.

“ Why is this cheap lady here?! He should have rotted in prison! Scarlet explain to me why she's free?! ”

“ Mother..I beg you stop her innocence how the police can lock her up in prison ” shrill Scarlet frustrated to see her mother's condition never improve.

“ I've sent proof!! He should be in jail! He killed Starla! Come with me I will take you to the prison myself!! ” Glory pulls Adira's hand strong until the girl gets dragged away.

“ Mother! ” panic Scarlet trying to hold her mother.

Glory stopped her steps hearing Adira's words.

“ You heard it was Scar, this girl is sorry because she killed your brother! ”

Scarlet was rubbing her hair in frustration.

“ Sorry because my presence makes you like this.I'm sorry because of me You have to continue in this grief. Sorry I'm really sorry ” Adira stared sincerely and in Glory's eyes.

“ I'll never understand how heavy it feels when you endure all the pain of a mother who lost her daughter. All I know is that you are very strong to bear it all up to this time ”

Glory slowly released her grip from Adira's body, trembling as if shaken after hearing Adira's words.

“ As Strong as You last this long.Please do not destroy yourself. I didn't know Mrs Starla even once I never met her, but I knew every child wouldn't want to see her mother suffer like this...in death even a child will not be willing if his parents will suffer this deep sorrow ”

Glory turned her body away from Adira she was sitting limp on her bed, as if a sad image of Starla was clearly drawn in her eyes. His daughter was sad because her mother became like this.

“ Live well for your daughter who is still here and miss the figure of Mother whom she has known all along ” Adira looked at Scarlet for a while.

“ Live for your grandchildren, live for Lady Starla who will surely be sad if you are like this..and live for yourself should not torture yourself with all this grief ”

Glory looked at Adira not expecting she would hear those words from the girl she had accused without that reason. His cry instantly broke out considering all his deeds to the girl, why did he turn out to be that evil?

Adira moved slowly to embrace the woman who immediately seemed very fragile and vulnerable. It was as if all of the harsh traits he displayed were merely a fortress to restrict others from making his sorrow invisible.

Glory was crying so much in Adira's arms, Scarlet who saw the sad sight was also unable to hold back her tears from coming out.

“ I'm sorry..I don't know why I could do that cruel thing to you.I'm really an evil demon ” grim tears Glory with all her guilt.

Adira could not answer anything she could only stroke the woman's back as if telling her that everything had passed.

“ I even intend to kill you by sending the dog.I am supposed to be in prison.I apologize ” isak Glory continuously.

“ Mother?! ” Scarlet to cover her mouth with both hands cupped she did not expect her mother could do such a thing.

What about Adira? Was he surprised to hear that?

Not because for him all that had passed, back then he only considered the incident an accident. And if asked if he was angry after knowing the woman who had done it?

He did not even feel upset at all because for him the woman who was now crying in his arms was just doing something wrong because of the depression he was experiencing now. Adira Nyakin Glory must have suffered a lot because of the depression she felt all along.

“ Don't feel guilty for it I until now am fine, just if you feel you owe me your life then keep living. Let's meet again at a better state and opportunity ” Adira revealed letting go of her gentle embrace.
