Love Story: Gabrielle and Eleanor

Rainbow Replacement

"Cira, what are you doing?" yura asked as she leaned her head into Cira's room. She then smiled as she watched the pregnant woman tie her hair in front of the dresser.

"Just go in, Aunt Yura. I just finished taking a shower" said Cira kindly.

"All right."

Since the incident where Cira got a hot lava burst from Levita, he seemed to get his life back. Cira is very sad about the passing of Mama Clarissa, but she is trying hard because now there is still Ares and also the baby she has to take care of. Although very interesting, in fact, the words of Levi at that time could awaken the Cira from a sense of hopelessness. And this is how it works now. I can smile back like I used to. Not forgetting, but Cira prefers to keep all those memories deep in her heart. Until death, Mama Clarissa's memories will never go away. Forever.

"Do you feel okay now?" yura asked after arriving near Cira. She then helps to straighten her hair to make it easy to tie.

"Very good, Auntie. I even slept so soundly last night that I didn't know when Ares was leaving for work. I'm a very unattentive wife, aren't I?" cira replied a little embarrassed when she admitted that she woke up late this morning.

"Not attention, dear. I think it was Ares who intentionally didn't wake you. Maybe he knows that you're in need of a lot of rest after the last few hours you've spent looking after Mama Clarissa. Right no?"

Cira nodded slowly. She then looked at Aunt Yura's face from the mirror reflection. This woman is such a warm woman. Sometimes Cira felt the affection of a biological mother whenever Aunt Yura showed her concern. Or suppose that Cira had found a replacement for Mama Clarissa after her departure.

"Oh yes, Cira. You haven't been visiting your in-laws long enough? How about after this we go to Lady Liona's house only. We all went to see Elea. Ever since Elea was pregnant, she lived there" Yura asked excitedly. She missed her daughter who was pregnant with triplets.

"Good, right too. Geez, how is this, Auntie. Mother Maria and Father Digo must have been very disappointed in me," Cira said in surprise when Aunt Yura mentioned about her two in-laws. Cira just realized that all this time he had been ignoring them.

"It's not like that. Aunty is sure they can understand your position yesterday. Don't panic, your two in-laws won't be that narrow in thinking. They must be aware!" yura calmed down Cira who looked panicked.

"Is that right, Bi?"

"Em, Auntie doesn't know for sure. But we will soon find out the truth once we get there. How, we're leaving now?"

"All right."

Yura attentively helped Cira to prepare. After that he took her out of the room to meet Patricia and baby Cio who were waiting in the living room. Yes, Yura deliberately invites Patricia to go together so that the atmosphere is getting crowded. It just so happened that Patricia was very eager to eat mango dishes, so they went to visit Elea together. Oh yes one more. The news of Elea getting a mango tree has made everyone very curious. Indeed, only this time they heard there was a thief who was rewarded with a tree from the fruit he stole. This only happened to Gabrielle and Elea. Unique right?

While on the way, baby Cio was unceasingly staring at Cira. This baby seemed to feel something, which made everyone very surprised. Actually not once or twice just this baby Cio met with Cira, but his attitude now really makes the three of them feel amazed. This is so weird.

"Mom, Cio why?" patricia's long-time question started to worry as well.

"What time, Mom? Why doesn't it make sense like this?"

Baby Cio blinked his eyes as Cira reached out to hold him. For a while the handsome baby was just silent, but a second later he was willing to move into Cira's embrace.

"What's up, hm? What have you noticed since?" ask Cira so gently. He then kissed Cio's cheek so anxiously.

Yura and Patricia laughed at baby Cio who immediately smashed his lips as his cheeks in the cephalopods were very fiercely by Cira. Soon, her crying finally broke.

"Geez, why are you so whiny. But good. This means that you do not inherit the character of your father who is very fond of being in the arms of a woman. Remember Mom's message well, baby. When you grow up, you can't take a basket. Love one woman for a lifetime. Okay?" patricia said she gave important advice to her infant son.

"You are yes. Cio's still a red baby, Patricia. Why would you even brainwash him with such things? Let him grow up like what he is. As long as he is healthy and does not stray from the path he should, then just let him go. Remember, our job as parents is to give birth, educate, and also raise. And when he grows up, he has the full right to manage his own life. You can't be selfish, Patricia. Poor baby Cio later!" reprimand Yura directly.

"Oh my goodness, Mother. I'm just kidding, why are you so serious about it. Mothers," ledek Patricia while giggling amusedly at the mother's quick response. Just-there's.

"Joking or not what you said earlier is true, Patricia. The child was really our property only when he was a child. Because once he grows up, he will choose his own way of life. There are many examples out there where parents are arrogant by forcing their children to grow up to be what they want. And what was the outcome? Crime, disappointment, and despair. All this is caused by a lack of self-awareness from parents. They forget that the children they used to foster have different mindsets and attitudes. Isn't that right, Cira? You agree not to what Auntie said?" yura asked as she clasped Cira's hand tightly.

"That's right, Auntie. What I just said has greatly affected the mental health of children. Sometimes the arrogance of parents brings its own misery to their children. And sadly this is not noticed by the parents. I have found several times the type of children who are frustrated by not being able to meet the wishes of their parents. So worrying!" reply Cira.

Patricia stared fixedly at the face of her son who was muttering indistinctly. Is it true that only as a child can baby Cio really be hers? Suddenly Patricia's feelings become claustrophobic himself imagining that someday his son will choose his own life path. He's not willing.

"Don't panic, Patricia. Mother and Cira just remind you, there is no intention to scare you," Yura said as soon as she noticed the change in emotions on her daughter's face.

"The warning you gave made me breathless, Mom. Really," said Patricia honestly.

"Ah, really?"

After that Yura, Cira, and also Patricia both laughed funnyly. Yeah, they laugh at what they just talked about. As simple as their happiness, enough with a joke. If the time is turned back, there is actually a lot of sadness and also pain that they feel. But all of that has been destroyed as time goes on. All that remains is happiness. A great storm had passed, and it was time for the rainbow to appear in place of the gray clouds. 🥰
