Tok tok tok tok

Medina knocked on Haura's room door slowly. "Haura, honey? Open the door, son. Mama brought food," said Medina restless because after returning from the mall the girl locked herself up and did not go out for dinner. Though the day is quite night, the clock has shown at half-nine.

Before long the door opened showing Haura still wearing a mukena.

"Yes Ma, sorry Rara just finished praying isya."

"Oh ... Mama was worried because from afternoon you did not leave the room. You also missed dinner. Here's Mama bring food. Eat it, baby."

"Okay Ma, actually Mama doesn't have to bother. Rara can take herself to the kitchen."

"No papa, son. No trouble though. Can Mama come in? Mama wants to talk to Mama's daughter-in-law. Mama's bored, because Papa's busy with his job."

"Ah, yes. Please come in Ma."

Haura let go of her face and folded with lightning speed. Likewise with the prayer mat still spread, immediately he cleaned and stored it to its original place. Then Haura took over the tray from her in-laws' hands. And put it on the nightstand. Medina sat herself on Haura's bed.

"Eat first, son."

"Rara's not having an appetite, Ma."

"Why baby? Any issues?" medina asked stroked the back of her daughter-in-law who was already sitting next to her affectionately.

"Ma, Ra-ra is confused."

"Say baby. Who knows if you can solve your problem."

"But Mama promised not to be mad at Micah, huh?" Haura's words made Medina smile because Haura loved Micah.

"Yes dear."

Haura told Medina everything. This includes the response he showed Adam.

"Then how did you decide, son?"

"Rara doesn't know, Ma."

"You want to split up? Well, Mama and Papa will take care of everything tomorrow." Haura shook her head with teary eyes. In an instant, clear circles flowed from both corners of his eyes.

"Why are you crying, baby? Isn't this what you want?"

"Rara hesitates, Rara is confused by Rara's own feelings."

"Ra, Mama will tell you all the secrets about Adam. Will you hear it?" Haura nodded and wiped her wet face.

Medina took a deep breath and started to tell a story. "Yet, Mama never wanted Adam's presence in the world."

"Adam is not Papa Ray's son. Adam's son out of wedlock."

Duarr

That night the sky was clear with stars scattered in space. But to Haura it was as if there was thunder. It made the woman half dead shocked.

"Mama is a rape victim. Just like you. But the difference was that Mama raped Mama's lover in the situation of Mama was not married" continued Medina.

"Is it really Ma?" Medina nodded.

"It was Adam's father. My first husband was not responsible. Finally, Papa Ray helped my mother. But for Adam's sake, Mama prefers to marry Adam's father. But God willed another way, Adam's father died in an accident. Mama married Papa Ray after Adam was born. And you know for yourself until now Mama is happy with Papa Ray. Papa Ray loved Adam as much as his own son." Haura listened to Adam's story in amazement. He respected his father-in-law even more.

"First, Adam was a sweet boy. Kindness is not like Adam now. The thing that makes Mama's son change begins when Adam is kidnapped by her op. We were separated for years. Micah's presence broke Adam's heart. Thought we didn't love him and dumped him. Mom and Dad did not forget her for a second. We miss him, looking for him everywhere. But we didn't find Adam, and we couldn't do anything. Can only go with the circumstances."

"When Adam came along with his op, he was greatly pampered. But his lack of affection and attention made him misstep. And the worst point was when Adam became a drug addict, because of the wrong association. He became a rebellious and wayward child. That is what brought Adam back to us. A bad incident that turns out to have a silver lining."

Then Medina told all the stories about Adam's betrothal to Keira who was extinct because of Isabella. Medina also recounted that Adam had kidney failure. Medina no longer wanted anything she could cover up about her son. Because Haura is his wife, he deserves to know her husband's disgrace. Medina didn't care if Haura would no longer accept Adam, it was Haura's right to decide. If the woman truly loves her son, she will accept her son's bad past with a sincere heart.

"Son, you've been too cowardly to say this. But Mama thinks she should say it now. It's too late and it might sound like nonsense. Mama wants to apologize for what your son did to you. Mama knows Adam's actions are despicable and unworthy of forgiveness." Suddenly Medina cried and sat down in front of Haura.

"Ma, don't do this. This is not Mama's place. Mama doesn't deserve to kneel like this. Rara please wake up Ma." Haura helped her mother-in-law sit back on the bed.

"I'm sorry, Mama's son, baby. Mama actually does not want you to be separated. Mama is happy to see Adam's bad attitude changed 180° after your presence. You have a positive impact on your child. So Mama wants you to stay by Adam's side. Being a mummy that will always remind if the priest does wrong or khilaf. But all the decisions are in your hands, baby. You have the right to decide your life after what happens. If you want to separate, you can only support you. Moreover, you already know the ugliness of Adam in the past. Mama's sure the harder it is for you to take Adam back." Medina cried so hard when she said that.

"Ma, Rara has forgiven Mas Adam. Rara promised never to leave Mas Adam. No word of divorce or separation whatsoever. Rara will return to Adam. Rara will be the one to remind if she did something wrong. Rara wants to be a godly wife for her. Rara willingly accepted the advantages and disadvantages."

"Didn't Mama hear me wrong?"

"No Ma. Rara is going to go back to Adam. If necessary, Rara will go home now."

"But what if Adam's gonna hurt you again, son?"

"No will Ma. Rara believes that Adam will never hurt Rara again. It's just .. maybe Rara needs to prepare herself. Honestly Ma, if you see Mas Adam Rara still a little scared."

"Mom knows how you feel, son. Are you sure you're going back to Adam? Will you not regret your decision?" Medina still could not believe what Haura said.

"God does not Ma. And may God open Rara's heart, in order to forgive Adam wholeheartedly. It's just that Rara was scared ...."

"What are you afraid of, Ra?"

"Rara is afraid that she cannot carry out Rara's obligations. Rara still remembered about that night."

"I'm sorry Adam, is it Ra? Because of her ...." Medina felt very guilty towards Haura. Because after what happened his daughter-in-law would forgive him.
