Mothers

175 Why Don't You Live Together?

"Kids, from today we live here, yes" Marva said.

"We're going to stay here with Mama Vio?"

"No."

"Same mother?"

"Yes, just pray you want, yeah."

"Keep what about mama Vio? Mama Vio will be lonely if we leave?"

"Yes, Raine is also kangen with Mama Vio."

Marva is silent, however, Vio is a woman who raised her two children since infancy. The first woman to be considered and called a mother.

"Darling, the children of a good father, maybe later Vio's father and mother will not be together again. We'll split up."

"parted? Like Chiro's parents?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"But why, dad? Does mom Vio not love us anymore? Is your mom angry with us because we have another mother?"

Raine started crying. However, Raine is closest to Vio, because Vio often dresses Raine in a cute and princess-like shirt.

"Wouldn't you leave my hair out and tie it again? Mama always said I was beautiful like a royal princess. Why did you leave, Dad? Are you also naughty like Uncle Arby who's naughty on Freya's aunty?"

Raine kept crying. Marva did not expect that they would be this sad, even crying. He had thought they would be mediocre when Marva said she would part with Vio.

"Do you love Mama Vio very much?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What about mom?"

"We love you too."

"Can't, honey. Later if mother and mother Vio live together, they can be ...."

"What can you do, Dad?"

Marva silence. There's no way he's saying that Rei and Vio can snatch each other and claw, right? Women are usually in a fight.

"When you grow up, you'll understand."

That's also typical of adults when they can't answer a child's question about a situation, if you grow up later you will understand.

And during that period of growth, they may guess what really happened.

Rei was cleaning Freya's room in the apartment. He breathed while cleaning the room.

I miss you, Freya.

Rei looked at the clock, and decided to go to the clinic now. He was tired, but his job as a doctor made him to continue his steps.

Rei so remember what Nico said about people who have to work in the corners. Where there are no vehicles and food that do not allow for vehicles to pass, require them to walk hundreds of kilometers.

Imagining it made Rei grimace. How can they treat quickly, while health facilities alone are very difficult in such a place?

Not to mention the costs that must be incurred. He who used to live in a big city, has difficulty because of the cost.

I feel less than optimal about being a doctor. Thinking about personal problems that are nothing has made me feel tired, then what about them?

"Where are you going?" marva asked when she met Rei in the loby of the apartment.

"I'm going to the clinic." Marva actually wanted to take Rei, but she had an important meeting this afternoon. If it was just a meeting with his subordinates alone maybe he could cancel it.

"Yes, be careful, yeah. Don't speed it up."

On the road, Rei took the common path, not the shortcut they used to cross. Because that shortcut is where Freya got into an accident.
