Being a Connecting Mother
No
Adira's heart beats erratically hearing Zein's words but she doesn't know what to react to.
“ I just realized after you left that I love you so much even too big until I don't know how else to miss you.”
” Do I still love this man? Or just confused for a moment because everything that happened too suddenly..is the uncomfortable feeling when seeing him sad is love? I don't know how I really feel ”
“ Mas..a-I want to rest..” Og Adira slowly.
With an unwilling feeling Zein let go of his embrace from Adira. She also understands there is no way Adira can return her love confession so soon after everything that happened in their relationship.
“ Lay down slowly ” Zein helps Adira lay her body in a sideways position.
Afterwards he pulled the blanket over Adira's body until it covered Adira's waist.
“ Feel comfortable? ”
Hearing Zein who ensured his comfort Adira only nodded her head slowly and immediately closed her eyes, trying to ignore the existence of Zein who was sitting in front of him with a short distance.
The more trying to sleep precisely Adira felt completely unable to fall asleep, even after almost half an hour had passed.
“ Still can't sleep? ” although Adira keeps her eyes closed but she knows Adira has not fallen asleep.
“ Hmm ” reply Adira throbbing small.
Adira immediately opened her eyes wide as soon as she felt Zein's hand groping her stomach.
“ What do you want?! ”
“ Not good if you haven't slept too.Close your eyes again I will only help you sleep ”
“ Ta-but Mas.”
“ Relax Adira ”
In the midst of his shock but Adira also felt comfortable after Zein rubbed slowly her stomach and waist slowly somehow it could calm her down. Until he slowly began to close his eyes again, gradually drowsiness began to appear until he finally fell asleep. A gentle breath that sounded from Adira signaled that the woman was already completely asleep.
Zein tidied up Adira's blanket again, setting aside the boy's hair that hit Adira's face hoping it wouldn't wake her up. Afterwards Zein stared for a while at the calm face of Adira who was currently sleeping and then kissed Adira soft forehead.
“ Thanks for staying this long Adira, I promise I will give you happiness ”

Adira blinked her eyes for a moment, before getting used to feeling the light of the sun gushing gently towards her the sign of the morning.
He looked around clearly as if he was looking for someone.
“ Your ex-husband went to pick up his youngest daughter, at least that's what he said before leaving earlier ” said Helena while confirming the window curtain of Adira's room.
Adira who was unaware of Helena's whereabouts immediately turned towards Helena.
“ Good if he is not here anymore ” said Adira indifferently.
“ Wow.you think who you want to deceive, still pretending so in front of me. You think I can't guess the way you feel is still the same as you used to be with your ex-husband. Therefore with great confidence you called him to help us ”
“ I didn't think of any other solution that was in my head just how to keep my son safe, that's it.”
“ Right too, without your ex-husband not knowing how it would have happened to you back then. Fortunately, it is not too late and it turns out that your ex-husband is a person who is deft in solving problems. You already know your ex-husband still loves you, is that why you believe he'll save you? ”
“ Unlike that Helen, I just believed that at that time could help only Mas Zein and I knew he could not ignore the safety of his own son ”
“ At that time he knew the child you were carrying was his son ”
“ True, but without me denying from the first meeting Mas Zein was already very confident this his son. Therefore he cannot ignore it ”
“ Then how now? Your ex-husband knows the boy you bear. He also lives in this village. What are you gonna do? ”
Adira sighed for a moment because she actually did not know how it would be.
“ I don't think anything will change, but no matter how I got divorced. Our relationship is completely over, for the matter of my own son I will discuss with him later. If this is not possible I forbid him to give his responsibilities as a father to my son ”
“ Are you sure of that decision? ” asked Helena seriously as she swept a handkerchief that had been wet to clean Adira's body.
“ That's the best decision for now, I don't want to be involved with them either. But I also can't be selfish about usurping Mas Zein's rights over his son and making my son lose the affection of his father I can't bear to do that.”
“ Hufft..indeed your relationship is quite complicated I also know it. Let's assume that later you who have divorced are living a life of getting along only with child custody, do you believe you do not torture each other by lying to each other's feelings? ”
“ Helen.you sound as if giving advice for me to go back to Mas Zein ”
“ Yes it is what I do now ” firmly Helena without hesitation.
“ How can you suggest that after knowing what happened between us? ” Adira asked back in disbelief with Helena's idea.
“ I know if you guys do love each other and don't want to hurt each other what's wrong with getting back together? ”
“ That's my name is selfish Helen, how about her children Mas Zein? Have you ever thought about that? I no longer want to make decisions that sacrifice the children's happiness ”
“ If you want to hear the good side I will say that the children themselves are begging and hoping you will return to be their mother. As you saw during their several times coming to this house ”
“ Then if you want to hear the bad side of Adira.The children are adults soon they will start their own lives and leave Zein alone because they are adults. So if you come back even you live only your married life alone ”
“ I ignored those kids? Or hope they leave? I mean, if that means sorry I won't do that evil thing ”
“ Huh...please I retract my words, there is no way I would have expected you to abandon those children. But think again if you still don't change your mind if the children themselves ask you to come back and want you to be their mother ”
“ No ” Adira replied quickly and firmly.
