Let Me Choose
A Mother's Hope



Their conversation on the porch chair was heard by Rendra's mother from inside. Wanting her mother's heart to speak directly in front of both of them what her wishes are like what her hopes are.


Her mother heard all the talk since they came and sat on the front porch chair of her house.


About a month Alya stayed at his house did not show the slightest mistake, nor did he show that she was a bad girl, diligently helped to clean up the house, helped in the kitchen, and did not show that she was a bad girl, and diligently also worship also round and round, a little blemish in the eyes of his mother Rendra girl like Alya why get pregnant first? and leave home. One more who are his parents why not look for him who is he?


That's what Rendra's parents had in mind against Neng Alya, that's how Rendra's mother used to call, Rendra's mother used to call, and now that he found another fact in both the eyes of the child and the girl he brought a month ago to this house, there is another highlight of both.


Also just on the grounds of wanting to make a donation his son has not even even a month has returned home is it because Alya? or is it because there are natural disasters in the village? I don't know.


How long have they been friends and how close have they been?


Finally Alya entered first to his room, maybe want to take a shower first after chatting for a long time with Rendra on the front porch of the house.


Now it's his mother's turn to sit next to Rendra while rubbing her shoulders, Rendra understands what her mother is like, like there is something to talk to her and Rendra opens the opportunity to listen.


"You've come home, son, how are you doing in the refugee barracks? is the repaired bridge already connected to the next village?"


"Alhamdulillah Bu all smoothly, now the bridge can be passed even in an emergency that is important logistics can reach people in need."


"Thank God, son. I'd like to talk, would you mind if I had a lot of questions for you?"


"Oh, ma'am, what's wrong?"


Rendra looked back at her mother.


"On Neng Alya, I don't know what this is about Mother's anxiety as a mother to her child, I just want to know what really happened to Neng Alya? why aren't his parents looking for him? why did she even leave the house in such a pregnant state? is there no deliberation with his family?"


"Mother, it's beyond our authority to ask too far about the problem, but at least I as her best friend know a little bit more about the story, let Alya calm down first, let's just be quiet, let him make his own decision. I as a friend only give advice that I think is good but not necessarily good according to his thinking."


"Son, do you love him?"


The deg!


"Why do you ask like that?"


"Mom saw the familiarity between you but I can't be sure if there are ripples among you connected to one taste? I don't know."


"Mother, I haven't thought that way especially with Alya who is currently in a lot of trouble, even if I think in that direction maybe not Alya the person."


"Why Nak? find out his parents make sure he's family all right why don't you try to be his helper? and love will grow by itself once you're together."


The deg!


Why his mother said that Rendra really doesn't know what his mother meant. Did his mother match him with Alya? something Rendra never thought of herself having to love a pregnant woman with no clear identity from where, who she just knows where she came from.


"Then when will you start to seriously build relationships and further build a household? Your father's mother is getting old. I agree you marry anyone from a good family and the same person has a good purpose to be married, love you and love your family what are you waiting for? work already, your life is worth it, I see your life is very simple diligently saving for what your money is Son?"


Rendra was trapped himself hearing the words delivered by his mother, there is indeed a point of him having grown up to the size of a man. Has been well established in life and career but to love Alya someone who is pregnant out of wedlock with the child she contains is she ready?


"Mother please, don't talk so I don't have a boyfriend and wife to introduce to Mom yet but at least I'm trying to find the best."


"I haven't thought of it yet, Mom."


"When will you start thinking about it? there's a nice woman in front of you why don't you think, son? although he is not perfect his goodness, despite having a dark past but you can guide him to go in a better direction."


His mother's words were nothing wrong. Only one shortcoming Alya has a past that is not yet understandable his not yet understood and can not be accepted, that's all.


But why did he come home before a month before two months of his previous habit? if it wasn't for Alya who was in her house?


Rendra wasn't honest with herself about this.


Everything even makes Rendra dizzy. Rendra had thought that her mother would be unkind to Alya but why was her mother acting out of her expectations?


Her mother instead supported herself to be able to get closer slowly, even to be able to be a helper for Alya might save her pride. Maybe if clearly be her husband as a helper to cover her pregnancy no harm is like that but her heart is ready?


Is it because her mother is so fond of a daughter-in-law? a woman who he brought home as a prospective wife is his mother too obsessed to ease the problem? but there is no harm also indeed he must know his true origins who Alya man where and where his parents exist.


"My mother took a bath not yet ashar."


"Think of what Mom said that was solely for your good, for the good of Alya also if you sincerely live it there will be goodness please someone who in distress at some time without expecting you will be helped by someone unexpectedly."


"Yes Bu, Rendra will try to think even though maybe the first step is not to agree with Mother's words, but Rendra wants to know first where she comes from, where her parents, where her home, where she is, I'll find out first."


"Mom knows your attitude will be like, I don't force you to just give me a reference if it's thoughtful as I thought."


Rendra smiled worriedly.


"Wand us later to eat together, I've cooked good when you leave again?"


"Tomorrow Ma."


Rendra's mother smiled as her favorite son moved and entered the house.
