Bride Shadow

Dilemmas

"yes. Mama's got a check-up tomorrow, right? We can stop by." Maria replied with sparkling eyes. Not only did Zahra gasp at Maria's words, but Abi and Mitha looked back at her confused mother.

"Mith, bring something for Zahra. Just take it in the kitchen. Ask Sri ya." orders the mother.

"No need to tan, I'm sorry to go home." said Zahra politely. But Maria still forced Mitha into the kitchen and took something as she ordered. Zahra sat down and waited for her best friend to come out. It doesn't feel good to go home without the permission that the house has. In addition, Maria kept him talking and asking about the girl's daily life.

"Ra, this is for you." Mitha handed over a sizable package to Zahra who was still gawking in disbelief. Bad feeling ambushed him. The tail of his eyes glanced at Maria and Abi alternately.

"But Mith..."

"Just accept it. It's from aunt. Think of it as a aunt's gratitude for taking Mitha home." This time Zahra nodded weakly. He received the package and said goodbye to Mitha's parents, not forgetting to kiss the back of their hands.

"Thank you tan, om. Excuse me. Asalamualaikum."

"Halaikumsalam, be careful on the road ya." Maria's message, the woman was so excited at the time. Unlike Abi who is just flat and more listening to the screen of his phone.

"Mith, it's not good for you." Zahra protested while putting the package from Mitha on the footing of his motor matic. Tau like this he must have stopped by first to buy souvenirs for his mother. Regrets have emerged lately.

"Obst usually Ra. Mama is that person."

"Should you please torch."

"If papa were so. Duck-like ducklings like Eagle's sister. Forgive them." Mary returned to confide in her best friend.

"Yes, go back." said Zahra, then left the Abimana family mansion.

Mitha rushed inside her house, her meeting with Zahra a little bit much already brightened her heart and made her feelings improve.

"Zahra is good and independent ya pa." Mitha's steps stopped when her mother talked about Zahra. Strange again. It seems like his mother was indeed interested in Zahra.

"hmm." Abi just cleared his throat, staring at his phone as seriously as if not listening to his wife.

"Mama wants him to take care of mom."

"What??" this time Abi raised his head, looking at Maria fixedly. Why his wife changed her mind. From the beginning of her illness until now, Maria did not want to be cared for by anyone other than her husband and children. Why do you want to be treated by someone else?

"And there was Mitha, papa and Elang ma. Bik Sri has also returned, right?" Abi approached his wife and stroked her soft back. His eyes are loving.

"Mama ngusir Mitha?" mitha asked suddenly from behind the wall. Maria smiled and spread her arms, hugging her beloved daughter.

"Not Ngusir Mith. Mama just said something about reality. Will you and the Eagle be in your own home? You have to practice independently." he explained full of emphasis. Since marrying Elang and Mitha, Abi and Maria have agreed to give their newly renovated house to their sons as a wedding gift.

The house stood firmly beside Abimana's residence. Only a wall as tall as an adult man separated the two houses. Although their house is next to each other, Abi and Maria are very concerned about the privacy of the newlyweds. They make a connecting door, and even on the front side of the yard until they will still pass the front door if they want to visit. When they were underage, they were their children. But when they are grown up and married, they are independent couples. Determine your own fate without the intervention of both parents who are also in-laws.

'' But Mitha is still here taking care of mama." elak Mitha. She could not bear to leave her mother who could be said to have lived in the world soon. Although he continued to pray, try and hope for a miracle.but Mitha knew, they had to prepare for the worst possible for Mary.

"Move it doesn't keep Mith away. Also every day you can still look at your mom?"

"But ma. .."

"Mitha..listen to mom! my life expectancy is just a little. You have to learn to live without us."

"honey. .." Abi hugged his wife's body that was getting thinner. Several times he kissed her head. The cry of the handsome man at his age was spilled. Maria, half of her life had said a phrase she hated so much. Farewell.

"Papa must also learn. Wherever mama will be, papa must stay strong and pray for mama." Mitha ran to hug her beloved mother. All three crying.

"Here ...mama is alive but you keep crying." comfort Mary with her fresh laughter. Abi rubbed his tears that continued to linger. If Mary had not been there, she would have cried out and roared to blame fate for taking her beloved wife.

"Pa, can you take Zahra as your nurse." Seduce Mary as if she does not want to give up before her will is fulfilled. Abi took a deep breath, looking at Maria's eyes. It wasn't just a year and two that he knew Mary. Thirty-one years of living together was enough for Abi to know the character and character of his wife.

"What is your mother's real purpose?" sharp questions with sharp eyes. Just like Abi who knows outside in the person of Mary, the woman also knows the character of her husband. He knew Abi needed an honest reason for an agreement. Her husband was always realistic.

"Mama likes Zahra." she replied later, full of confidence.

"Then?" Abi raised his eyebrows, asking for an explanation.

"Mama wants papa to get close and get to know her." answers kalem, but makes Abi's chest almost broke because of it.

"Sorry, papa can't" he replied. Now he knows what Maria means. His wife wanted to find a replacement for him to accompany Abi when he was gone. Naively.

"Pa..listen to mom.." Abi gently took off Maria's fingers which hugged her arms. His heart was very sick and cut.

"Sorry, I don't want to hear anything Maria!" then the man left them for his study and closed the door. His heart was like the sharpest knife in the world until it was wounded with blood. How can the woman he loves with all her heart, soul and body tell him to know another woman and maybe ask him to marry her while she is still around? just thinking of losing him made him want to die together, how could he marry another woman in front of him? When he was alive? A very cruel request, as if the woman did not want to know her feelings. Why not let her enjoy the rest of the time for them to be together and carve out happy memories at the end of life? Why even present someone else who would even become a wound. Maria .you really put Abi in a dilemma.
