FROM THE HEART

True Love

After reading the letter Clara felt very sad, she did not expect that Bryan had prepared his departure from a long time ago, according to the wishes of the husband, Clara was forced to widen her smile even though her tears continued to flow.

After that Clara took the second box again it contained a letter.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ARA with emot smile:-)

As Clara widened her smile as she read the sentence, she remembered that today was the day she received the gift.

"Our baby will be born soon, but mother's day is still far away, so why my wife has become a mother, only a few days later we will welcome the birth of our baby, he said, this is a gift for my wife on mother's day." Tears broke, Clara was powerless to continue reading her letter.

Then Clara picked up a small tree wrapped in plastic from inside the big box.

"This is a plant, yes your favorite fruit mango plant, if you take care of it it will grow flowers will also bear fruit, this plant must be treated like a baby, and this plant must be treated like a baby, so Ara take good care of your womb and Audira our child, this can be a training for you, I already know we will get twin boys and girls, baby boy and girl, one day our sons will be your saviors and our daughters will be your strength. My son will definitely look like me, he is handsome and ignorant to you. And our daughter will definitely look just like you, she must be sweet, shy, unyielding and honest just like you. By the time this plant grows into a big tree, then our children will also grow up, they will judge you and you will miss chasing it, haha it looks very funny. I always talk about our son, I know it's mother's day not child's day so before you get angry, you have to calm down I have a gift for you too."

Clara was still sobbing, she took the fat shredder from inside the box.

"This is U-Body Slimmer."

"I am fat." Clara thought for a moment she smiled.

"emmm I know after our baby is born my wife's body will definitely get fatter, so I don't want my wife to find a reason to lose weight, you have to diet, jog to lose body fat, so I don't want my wife to find a reason to lose weight, therefore I give you this tool so that you do not need a diet to manage the body, but you still have to reduce eating chocolate and ice cream do not look for excuses again after our baby is born later, that is why you must have a healthy body because I feel our children will definitely trouble you later, take care of them, teach them as you teach me the meaning of life."

"I will take you camping by the beach, I will make a small house there like my wife's dream, and our children will play sand castles there, together with them we will forget time, there are still more gifts for you and our children, I know I love our baby just as much as I love his mother, but I can't help myself I'm getting moved more easily when I remember my wife and my kids."

Clara also took a square-shaped gift wrapped in gold cloth.

"This is the holy book of the Qur'an, the guide and guide of life for every Muslim, read and understand the teachings contained in it, instill religious teachings in our children from an early age so that later they can become sholeh and sholeh children. My wife, don't be afraid, you must be a good mother, our baby is lucky to have a mother like you, I'm also lucky that they are my children, it's all thanks to you who gave birth to a child all over them, Ara if you miss me then say my name in every prayer because pray the most effective medicine when we miss someone who is far from us. So, my beautiful wife, the mother of my children happy mother's day, and next year our children will give you a gift."

After the expression of Bryan's heart, which can only be revealed through a letter while he is alive.

"Didi, you reneged on your promise, you said you'd take us camping by the beach, but you left me instead, it would be better if I went with you Di, I don't know how I'm gonna get on without you, how's Di???" clara said softly with tears that were still breaking she immediately ran over to her children. Clara hugs Audira who and her two twins are playing together.

"Mama, why is mom crying?" ask Audira.

Clara stared at the innocent faces of her three children, they still did not understand the current situation because they were very small.

"Mama doesn't cry baby, mama is happy because she still has you." Clara immediately wiped away the tears that flowed from both corners of her eyes.

"Ma, where's papa, when's papa coming home?" audira asked, that innocent kid these past few days since Byan died he always asked about Bryan.

"Papa is out of the country, baby." - Clara.

"Papa must have returned ma, papa didn't leave us, right, ma? Dira misses papa so much, who will take Dira to school again?"

"Dear dear, papa will always be here, in our hearts even though papa is far away from us." explained Clara pointed at Audira's chest, she was powerless to stem her sadness. Bryan left so quickly that he left his wife and three small children. Clara is unsure of her heart, whether she will be strong past her destiny as a widow and must raise her three children alone.

*****

A Few Years Later

Now Clara is living her life better, she has become a closed woman (a Muslim woman who uses a hijab). Clara lives happily with her three children who are now sitting on the bench of High School and Junior High School. His children said his mother was a tough woman, mother was also a father to them.

Since the departure of her late husband, Clara has now continued her husband's business. Not only has she managed the company, but her restaurant business is also expanding now there are 120 branches in various cities and regions, so it is not wrong that she is nicknamed the billionaire woman.

Career women like Clara must be a lot of men trying to steal her heart, not infrequently his children also asked him to marry again so that his mother was not exhausted because he had to take care of the house and office alternately every day. It is true Clara is quite guilty, tired, tired, and tired of course she feels, but marrying again is not her desire, Clara remains loyal to one name that is still in her heart

Sunday afternoon Clara was having a Thanksgiving at her house, Clara did not have a festive party like the other rich people did, but Clara chose to hold a lecture at home and also invited orphaned children, Clara always remembered the generous attitude of Bryan who liked to support orphans and diligently gave alms.

After the show was over, Clara received a call from the headmaster of the school where Khanza and Keysara were studying.

"Mother, the secretary called again there have been 6 complaints from the school" Clara told her mother.

"Did he fight again?"

"Yes, the mother's granddaughter hit her friend again..."

"It's common, surely he did it to defend his sister, calm down son, mother will take care of them later..."

"Khanza's... Khanza came here son." cried Clara, Khanza and Keysara went to his mother's room.

"Yes mom, what's wrong?" ask Khanza.

Clara softened her son's ears.

"Bandel, I never taught you to beat up your peers." Clara chanted.

"Sorry ma, those who start first, end up bothering Key, and Khanza doesn't like to see them teasing sister ma'am, Khanza just defends her" Khanza said, Clara knew her son was indeed nosy if not disturbed.

"Mom, those who hit brother first, brother innocent ma, look tomorrow surely the secretary will say the same thing again." said Keysara.

"Yes, my son, I believe in you, but I remind you that instead of replying you better avoid it yaaa, I don't want to hear anything like this anymore."

On The Other Side

Another case with Audira who was in his room with his two friends. They started talking about love, because it was time they knew love at the age of 17 years no wonder teenagers their age began to fall in love. Audira is not in love, she just listens to her two friends.

"He's not a good guy, he likes to play with women, playboy dragonflies" Selin said.

"You don't know what love is, I feel it, my heart hurts so much right now" said Hanum, the girl who had just been cut off by her boyfriend.

"Ahhh you guys shut up, my mama will explain what love is." said Audira.

As soon as they were silent, Clara walked into her son's room and heard their commotion.

"What's this, is mom interrupting your love story?" clara sat between them.

"Look, Hanum just broke up with his girlfriend, what do you think love is?" Audira explained and asked, as soon as Clara smiled, she turned to the large picture frame displayed on the wall of Audira's room which was nothing but a picture of her late husband.

Clara walked slowly towards the photo of Bryan daj standing in front of the photo, then Clara turned her body around to devour teenagers who seemed to want to know about love.

"Do you know, the word time can change everything, but you girls still ask the same thing" said Clara, Audira and her friends laughed.

Clara looked back at the photo of her late husband with a smile looking at him.

"Love is not just about meeting someone and falling in love with him. Love comes from the heart, it is wrong if people think love comes from thinking because sincere love is the love that comes from your heart" said Clara.

"Tante, spending a lot of time together is it arguably a sign of love?" ask Selin.

"True, spending time together is a sign of love. When she was in my life, I thought so too, but when she wasn't around, she changed my perspective on love. Do you know, true love is more than space and time, maybe the person you love will not always be with you, but you will always feel its existence, that's how love makes us able to overcome all obstacles" said Clara.

"But auntie, isn't that painful, I'm afraid that if I get the person I love then I lose him when I really love him?" ask Hanum.

For a moment Clara recalled the times she lost Bryan, Clara could not forget the last day, but quickly wiped her tears and walked up to the teenagers.

Clara took a photo of Bryan on the nightstand, then she hugged Audira and they looked at the photo carefully. Clara just wants to remember the sweet memories along with her, which have made her strong to this day.

"You'll never lose her, she'll never die, she'll be a part of your life forever. His love will always be in your heart, maybe you can't touch it or see it but he will always be near you, he is in every step of your foot, and she will make you a better person." explains Clara with teary eyes.

The teen not only knows about love but they finally know what true love is.

"My love, like that, though blocked by space and time, but that love will always rest in the heart" said Clara.

"Tante, who is aunt's true love." asked Hanum and Selin simultaneously.

Clara turned back to the picture of Bryan on display.

"My love is him, Bryan Duke Mirza" Clara said loudly.

"My sister and I are the fruit of their love." said Audira who made Clara immediately embrace her three children.

EXPIRE

Friends that was the end of my love and my husband's journey. I choose not to marry again because I have heard, people say if we are abandoned by the husband/wife first and we remarry then our true love is not the first one to marry us, and I don't want to be like that, I want to see my husband again in heaven later, that is why I will not marry again so that we can live in eternity, I love Bryan Duke Mirza very much.
