Me, You And Mama
Mom and memories
Melinda sat down in her study at Mira's. Melinda saw one by one the photos that Mira gave her.
"So.the girl gave it all to the orphanage?" Melinda asked without turning her gaze away from the photo she had in her hand.
"Yes, he donated the 100 million that he gave at the orphanage." Mira replied firmly. "She's a good girl, Ma'am. Bless them."
"Initially I was happy, my wisdom could find someone she loved." Melinda breathed a rough sigh. "I'll bless them, that's what I thought at the time. But, when I saw the picture of the girl you gave me, I felt familiar." Melinda looked at Mira. "And when I saw him in the cafe, the eyes of the girl reminded me of Mas Bima's first wife." Mira looked at Melinda with pity, after hearing Melinda's confession.
"I think I've forgotten that punishment. But when I looked into the girl's eyes, I recalled my sin against Elinna." I'm Melinda, her eyes are already spitting out water.
"I remember, when I got married in front of my mother-in-law's body, she was sitting in the corner of the room, crying in silence." Melinda looks at what happened 28 years ago. "But he could still smile warmly, as Mas Bima looked at him."
Mira still silenced to hear Melinda's confession. He also tried to remember the face of the woman, the woman who loved his sister-in-law, Elinna.
Yes, he had just realized, their gazes were almost the same.
That..impossible!
Mira shook her head dispelling her strange thoughts.
"I still remember the terms I put my father-in-law, Mir." Melinda clenched her trembling hands on her lap. "Only I will be known to the people as Madam Abhimana Antara, and bear her offspring." Tears rolled back through Melinda's face, but there was no sobbing.
"And when Vishnu was born, I asked my father-in-law to remove Mas Bima's first wife from Antara's main house, and my in-laws granted it." Melinda held a tightness in her chest. "Mas Bima did not refuse, and the woman, Mas Bima's first wife could still smile warmly, even though she had experienced injustice."
"Mr..." That's all Mira can say.
"But they eventually divorced. The woman left Mas Bima. But I'm lonely, Mir. Bima granted all my will." Melinda still felt her body tremble. "The woman was not pregnant, and moved into the apartment, but why did I not feel happy? I've made life difficult for them, but it's as if they don't care."
"Sir, actually I also feel sinful to Sister Elinna." Mira. "That one, after a week of their divorce. I saw Sister Elinna coming out of Maria's doctor's room, obstetrician."
"What do you mean Mir?" Melinda began to get nervous.
"Mother Elinna is 9 weeks pregnant."
"Why not say it from the beginning?"
"Sorry, Mother...."
"Did Mas Bima know his ex-wife was pregnant?" Ask Melinda. "How is this, Mir? When the accident happened, Elinna didn't bring their child, did she?"
Mira could only shake her head answering Melinda's question.
"Mir.don't tell me that girl, Elvina. The girl's eyes looked like Elinna." Alleged Melinda.
How'this? Impossible?
"No, mbak. Elvina was found in front of the parlour unconscious alone, and was six years old. The girl said her parents died a year earlier. His parents didn't leave any possessions at all."
"If so, Mira?"
"No, mbak! If it's true, the girl won't be living in an orphanage, she'll be at Elinna's sister's house, or in an accident with her parents."
"Yes, you're right."

Melinda recalled the past.
After Mira's departure, Melinda went into her room. Lying on his soft mattress, looking up at the sky of his room.
"*You must marry Melinda!" Press Yuda Antara, Abimana Antara's father.
"I've married Elinna, father. How can I marry Melinda?" Reject Abimana Between.
"Dad..." Abhimana did not know what else to say. He loved his wife very much, although without the blessing of his parents he still married Elinna.
"No problem, my mom. Marry me! I'll stay by your side." Elinna calmed her husband, giving permission.
"All right...." Abiman pasrah's.
"I want to marry Mas Bima, but there are conditions" said Melinda.
"Say, Son." Yuda Remark Between soft.
"I want the whole world to know, I'm the wife of an Antara Abhimana. And only I can give birth to her child." Firm Melinda.
While Abhimana looked at Melinda in disbelief, the woman he knew well could be cruel to his wife.
"Well, listen to Elinna, you can stay by my son's side without public attention. And if I hear you're pregnant, just drop it! Or you can go from my son's side, by way of divorce." Clearly Yuda Antara firmly.
"DAD.......?" Abhimana wanted to protest, but his wife's arm and smile stopped Abimana.
"I agree. No problem, my mom. What matters is that we stay together. Not only are we happy, but our whole family is happy too. That's enough. Don't be greedy." said Elinna, smiling at her husband*.

"*Dad..your grandson is born, give him the right life." Said Melinda after a month gave birth to Vishnu Antara Judah, her first son with Abimana.
"What do you mean, son?"
"I want my son to know me as his only mother." Melinda's words made them look at each other. "Elinna..can you move out of the main house?"
"Sure, Bima.Bring your first wife to move into your apartment. You can be together twice a week." The father gave the order.
"Is that not outrageous, father?" Abimana really felt tightness. Again his first wife got injustice here.
"Of course not. Isn't that Elinna?" Reply to the father, looking at his son's first wife.
Elinna smiled. "Yes, Dad. We live in the same world, Mom. We can still meet." Elinna looked at her husband warmly. Hiding his pain and disappointment.
No problem, the important thing is that she still gets the love and attention of her husband.

"What's this?" Abhimana asked for the file that Elinna had given. Today Elinna came to the main house of the Antara family, after 4 years out of the residence of her father-in-law.
"Let's get a divorce, Mommy." Elinna's words were firm and Abimana was surprised. And not only was he shocked by Elinna's invitation, Melinda and the great Lord Antara were shocked.
"Why?" That's all Abimana can ask.
"I'm tired, let me go, Mas...." Elinna answered gently staring at her husband's bead.
Abimana breathed a rough sigh. "alright. I let you go my wife."
"Thank you, my husband, I'm sorry I couldn't last any longer by your side. Smile, be happy even if I'm not by your side."
"You should also be happier from now on. It's enough to make others happy." Abimana looked at Elinna's love, her hands gently stroking the cheek of the woman she loved. Elinna answered with a nod.
Abimana signed the divorce papers with Elinna. The man cried without a sound, and so did Elinna. Melinda and Yuda Antara are just silent, not wanting to interfere.
"I'm leaving." Elinna smiled looking at everyone in the room.
"Observe heart. Remember, please yourself before anyone else." Abimana advised and only in reply to Elinna's nod before she passed away.*.
