Dusk And Suffering

44. Mother's Hug

I don't know what time Dusk and Leo arrived at Bu Patmi's house. The girl immediately ran towards the porch of her house. He found his mother who was watering plants on her back to the street. Dusk went slowly as the distance between them grew closer. He noticed his mother's body being thinner than a year ago.

It felt like Dusk was calling his mother, but was afraid that his mother would stay away. I finally decided to walk slowly and

Grep

Dusk hugged his mother from behind tightly as he sobbed. He put his head on his mother's back.

Manda was just speechless, it seemed that the woman was guessing who was hugging her. The woman moved her body a little.

"Shut up for a minute, Mom." Dusk tightened his embrace.

I don't know because of what Manda complied with the request of the girl he hadn't expected. He kept my bed silent while continuing to water the plants.

"I miss Mom," said the twilight a little more calmly.

Soon after Dusk loosened his embrace, it was used by Manda to immediately turn towards his son. Look at the face of the child so closely and closely. Things he never did before.

His eyes suddenly dewy at the smiling Dusk, but his eyes were filled with tears. Manda's feelings had started to get strange, wanting to feel her heart touching the child's face. However, the flashes of his bad past made him choose to be silent.

Manda's eyes turned to an enlarged stomach. She remembers her pregnancy decades ago. And I realized one thing, the pregnancy of her child and also herself they did not want. Manda was sure, Dusk did not want to get pregnant with Leo's child. But he had to do it for who.

"I want to hug Mom again?"

Manda just nodded without making a sound. Without cue and with a quick movement Dusk immediately hugged his mother tightly.

"Thank you Mother. Thank you for letting me hug your body." Dusk smiled happily, but his tears continued to slide down.

"I'm doing this just for your grandmother. He asked me to hug you before he left for good."

Twilight gasped, without taking off his embrace he looked up at his mother.Steadily looking at her, he wanted his mother to say once more. He hoped what he heard was wrong.

"Yes your grandmother died, it was a year ago."

"Nobody told me." Dusk took off his embrace.

"You're anywhere no one knows." Manda had since spoken flatly without expression, not angry, happy, let alone hatred. His gaze was different too. More quiet than a year ago.

"How many months?" Manda asked while looking at her son's stomach.

"It's been six months, Mom."

Manda frowned, "This big one?"

"My son is a twin."

"My son Dusk," quickly errs Leo.

"Yes I know they're your children, but they're my children, too. Don't always use my words when I mention ananakk. What's wrong with me mentioning them my kids too? The one who conceived me, who gave birth to me, try to explain where my faults lie. Why do you always keep my word. When your wife calls my children, her children I never protest, I never get angry, then why should I not call them my children."

"Senja," call Aldi.

Dusk turned, his eyes twinkling. He walked quickly towards Aldi, as well as the man running towards Dusk and stretching out his hands.

Their bodies collided with each other accompanied by cries of Longing. They just let their tears spill. So that the longing that had been buried at the top of the head evaporates so and gradually disappears.

"How are you, son?" Aldi took off his arms, but his hands were still perched on his nephew's shoulders.

"Thank God I'm good, sirde. As Pakde sees now. How are you guys doing?"

"Thank God be good too, son but..."

"I arrived late, Grandma had left me without saying goodbye. Grandma promised me that she would wait for me to come home. But grandma seemed tired of waiting. Because the truth is I can't go anywhere."

"It's okay, don't talk about it, forget it! One day Pakde will take you to Grandma's grave. If now, you're pregnant, so don't."

Manda walked towards the place where Aldi and Dusk stood. Who passes Leo for granted, not even only Manda ignores Leo. But everyone who was there ignored the presence of the man. He wanted to be angry but he could do nothing. He was afraid that Senj would go on a rampage again and make his cramps recur. He did not want to sacrifice his children.

"Better to talk inside." Manda said as he continued to walk into the house. The expression is still the same, flat."

Dusk stared at Leo before he walked over.

"If you're strong it's not considered to exist by all of us, go inside. But if you're not strong you can go back to the car or you can go home and pick me up tomorrow afternoon."

"There are no rules that allow you to stay here."

"Nobody forbid me to stay here, this is my mother's house."

"You must obey me!"

"Who are you, who should I obey you? Brother no, husband no, your status is only the father of the child I bear. No more than that, so please keep your limits!"

Leo clenched his teeth, he was so angry with the twilight speech. The man ended up covering going into the car and Dusk did not care what the man would do.

"You're the same as Leo." Aldi asked in surprise. The reason, the nephew was very meek not as violent as now.

"Who told him to restrain me. She hurt Mom because I refused her orders too often. I finally want to get pregnant with her child. This I do only for Mom. And my attitude toward him now, I want to show him and his wife that I'm not as weak as he thinks."

"Pakde is amazed by you. Let's go in. We'll have a chat inside."

Adi's hands embrace his nephew as he walks towards the terrace. They were surprised because Manda was still silent on the terrace hearing all the conversations of Dusk and Aldi.

"Why are you getting pregnant for me? You're not concerned about your future?" ask Manda suddenly.

"Nobody is more important than Mom."
