Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 19

Dusk starts greeting, Arkana is allowed to go to the library to borrow some books by Shaina. After borrowing some of the books he needed to keep a journal, he decided to read the book and sat in the city park, where many hawker sellers were selling. Arkana bought her mother's favorite snack, then ate it while reading the book she brought.

The twilight was getting late, the garden lights also started to light up. Arkana noticed every light that began to turn on alternately, suddenly the view stopped on a woman who was holding the child aged about 2 years.

Unexpectedly, it was Aira and her son. Arkana quickly approached.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Arkana politely

Aira was so shocked, Arkana was already in front of her. Now Arkana sees her daughter.

"Eh you.." said Aira misbehaved

"Take my greetings." said Arkana with a teasing smile

"Wa-wala-ikum sa-lam" said Aira stammered because he was not used to it, but he knew it was the greeting of Muslims

"So this is your son?" ask Arkana curiously

"Yes, she's my daughter." replied Aira quickly

"Dira let's introduce this to Arkana, she's a friend of Mom's on campus." Aira told her little daughter

"Halooo is beautiful." said Arkana while looking down closer to Dira

"Where are you going?" ask Arkana curiously

"I just got home from work, I already picked up Dira first in daycare." said Aira honestly

"What are you doing here?" ask Aira back to Arkana

"I've been from the library and read books here first" Arkana replied honestly

Aira, Arkana and Dira were sitting in the garden, because Dira was eating the food he had brought earlier.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to interfere, but I just wanted to make sure." Arkana suddenly stopped because she was awkward, afraid that Aira would avoid her again

"It's okay, you want to ask me my problem again, right?" aira answered by guessing Arkana's intent

"I-iyaaa.." replied Arkana

"That day on campus, Zidan and I never met again. I also don't know where he is or where." Aira said as she lowered her gaze

"Oh God what about that man's mind, pity your son." Arkana said spontaneously

"I don't know either. She changed after I got pregnant getting bigger, my body started to change, not to mention during childbirth and breastfeeding she said my body had already changed. Maybe that's what makes him always play with other women" Aira replied by explaining what happened

"Women will indeed experience it after pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, right? Women like that are also because they gave birth to their children, right? he should love you and your child more and more." Arkana said with anxiety over Zidan's behavior

"That's it, I've cape with Zidan's behavior. I began to realize, she loved me when my body satisfied her, and when I was as beautiful as ever" replied Aira who began to resign with the circumstances

"So what are you going to do next? How's your household fate?" arkana asked in curiosity

"Our marriage is not legally valid, so it will of course end just like that. I am now a woman with no self-respect..

Aaah let me, my self-esteem is not important, the most important thing is that my child can live properly" said Aira at length

"May God always give you strength, Aira." said Arkana encouragingly

"And you are a beautiful child, may Allah always protect you." continued Arkana to Dira who was eating chocolate until the straws in her mouth

"Thank you Arkana.. Sorry, I'm sorry I've dared to tell you all this, I have no friends to tell the story." said Aira as she looked towards Arkana

"It's okay. From now on we are friends, do not hesitate to ask for my help, while I can I will help" Arkana said as she continued to look at Dira who was cool eating chocolate

"Beautiful girl, what a mess you.. Here let me clean it" said Arkana while taking a handkerchief out of his jacket pocket and rubbing it gently on the edges of Dira's mouth

Aira watched it very deeply.

"Oh my God, if Zidan could be this gentle to Dira, he would be so happy" Aira said in her heart

Arkana takes Dira and Aira home, and finally Arkana knows this is Aira's rented house.

"Thank you so much for driving us home Arka" said Aira while holding a sleeping Dira

"Yes alike. I went home yaa.." said Arka while waving her hand, then put the bike slowly.

Arriving at home Arkana immediately contacted Nisa, his mother who he always missed. Arkana told me all about Aira.

"Mom, I'm actually wondering, Aira is her family where is it just a piece of kara?" arkana said after telling Nisa everything

"Maybe it could be like that, baby. I suggest you don't get too deep into this problem, I'm afraid you'll be the target of Zidan's anger again" Nisa told her son

"Yes Ma'am, God willing I can take care of myself" Arkana replied reassuring her mother

The phone call ended. Arkana thought about her mother's actions.

"It's also true what Mother said, I don't get too close to Aira. I don't want to get carried away further and make things worse, I don't want to make my family ashamed" Arkana said in her heart
