Exchange Myself for Justice

Chapter 13

Now that it has been a week after giving birth, I have returned to the Mas Adri residence. This time Mas Adri came to visit us more often. For the reason that she wanted to meet my baby.

This morning Mas Adri arrived early, I thought he was coming as usual, which is just to meet my little baby. But apparently the man wanted to say goodbye to duty outside the city for a few weeks.

There was a bit of sadness when the man who had always been attentive and so very good, now he wanted to leave, yes even if only for a while, but still there was a sense of loss.

"I'm saying yes, Za, you're fine. Take care of yourself and this little baby. I must miss him a lot" Mas Adri said goodbye.

"Yes, you be careful. May it always be in the grace of God."

"Aamiin to Rabb."

After Mas Adri left, I was again busy with my role as a mother for my son. I observed the handsome face of the tiny baby that was in my lap.

The chief judge's face was there. My baby's face is indeed a copy of that man. He must not know that there was a result of that one-night relationship. This baby is mine, he will accompany me whenever.

I am his mother, I will take care of him with all my soul and body and I will not let anyone take him away from me.

While still cradling my baby with affection, I heard a noise outside. I put my baby in bed, and immediately went out to see what was going on.

"Madam, please don't meet Ms. Zahira, because this is Mr. Adri's message," the voice of Buk Era was begging a middle-aged woman and beside her there was a beautiful girl.

"Heh, shut up! I am his Mama. Of course I'm more entitled here. I have to meet that woman!" refute that middle-aged woman who looked so emotional.

"Sorry, what's going on?" ask me to try to break up the Buk Era debate and that woman.

"Oh, so you're the woman who's been poisoning my son's brain!" he said he immediately approached where I was standing.

"Who are you really? What is it with you and my son that he hid you in this house?" ask the mother back.

They broke into my room immediately. Of course I'm very worried about my baby, I'm afraid they'll hurt. I quickly accelerated to get to the room.

"Infant? Aunty, it turns out they're secretly married, Tan. They even have children!" exclaimed the beautiful woman complained that she did not accept the reality she saw.

"really? You cheap lady! How dare they marry without my knowledge!" the woman I made sure was Mas Adri's mother.

My baby gasped and cried loudly at the sound of the sound. I immediately grabbed my son in the arms I hugged tightly.

"Sorry Mom, you guys just misunderstood. Me and Mas Adri have nothing to do. Mas Adri just helped give me a place to live." I tried to explain that they didn't misunderstand me.

"Really, Ma'am, me and Mas Adri are not in a relationship. Please trust me, Mom!" door pleaded.

"Well, if you have nothing to do with my son. Now get out of this house! Prove that you are not the woman who caused the breakdown of their relationship!" said the mother.

I was confused, but I had to prove that their accusation was not true. Maybe the time has come for me to live standing on my own feet. I don't want to give Mas Adri any trouble.

"All right, ma'am, I'll get out of here" I said, packing my things immediately.

"Good if you know yourself!"

I carried my baby with a long cloth, my right hand dragging my medium-sized luggage. I looked at the two women of different generations, they threw smiles at each other.

"Excuse me, ma'am, I'm sorry if I made a mess here." Doesn't diminish my respect for the woman who has given birth to a good man like Mas Adri, so I stay true to him.

"Yes, go. Don't ever come back in my son's life" he replied cynically. I just nodded and smiled a gentle smile.

"Buk Era, I say yes, please convey my gratitude to Mas Adri who has been so good to me so far," my message to Buk Era.

"But where is Zahira going? Poor son is still red. I'm afraid something will happen" said Buk Era sadly. The middle-aged woman shed tears while hugging me.

"Don't cry, Buk, me and my baby will be fine. Trust me, God will always protect us. I say yes, Buk. Thank you for helping me so much." I shook the hand of Buk Era, and immediately left the place that had given me comfort for the past three months.

When I came out of the residence, it was already dark marked it would soon rain. I sped up the steps to find shelter when it would rain suddenly. I was afraid something would happen to my baby.

The street I was walking down was a residential complex. Where the housing on average has an iron trellis fence there is no cottage shelter.

Sure enough, I don't know how many hundred meters I walk the rain has fallen along the road that hit me, and my baby is still in a cloth bedong and I carried using a long cloth.

"O Allah, where should I take shelter? Protect my son Rabb, make this rainwater a medicine for me so that my body and mind remain strong in the face of all the trials of life."

I cried while hugging my baby in the rain. I watched along the way hoping for help for myself and my baby. But the swift rainfall makes the inhabitants of the complex feel at home in their respective homes.

*Oh God, I know You did all this to me. You have kept me away from the one who has always protected me, You have beaten me mentally, You have added my problems, You have retested my patience, You have made me fall down, You have made me fall down, You made me cry in the rain. For You know that I am a strong woman and able to accept all trials from You. And I am sure You will realize my dream, You will surely meet my needs, You will make me happy when that time comes for me. O Allah, O Lord. I sincerely accept all these trials, but I beg you, please protect your son.

Seriate...

Happy reading 🥰*
