My son, not my son

Chapters 20. Sea Horse

"Yes, Mamen. He's not my real son."

"So?" ask Kai curiously.

"He's Ela's son" he said softly. With still sobbing.

"How's the story? How can?"

"It turns out Mamen...."

Hiks hyks

"Si's brother has done it as a Bangladeshi national when he was in Malaysia" he said. Broke up already cried Fiya.

Kaianna. Silence of a thousand languages. I just heard sobs there.

A little while later, Fiya continued her story. Tell me the truth about baby Nawal. All he reveals without anything else he hides.

"Promise yes, Mamen. Don't tell anyone. Since I assumed you were the right person for the place I told you about, that's why I opened it all. It's heavy, Mamen. Hiks hyks hyks."

"You take it easy, Fiya. I'll keep all these secrets until I die" said Kai.

"Keep, how's mama?" ask Kai again.

"Yes mom, down, Mamen. He was not even able to speak. Crying isn't even strong, Mamen."

Kai quietly heard everything. He even shed his tears even though he didn't notice it.

Kai has considered mama Basagita like his own birth mother even he also called mother Basagita with the name mama. Same with the late Papa Rudi.

Losing a father figure from childhood makes Kai also miss the father figure. So he considers the deceased papa Rudi used to be like his own father.

"You know, Mamen...."

Hiks hyks

Crying Fiya had not stopped from earlier.

"Mama has an empty soul. Can no longer feel talking to the condition of the brother. I even heard one time that my mother cried in the middle of the night, long before this incident, crying for her brother. It always made my mother disappointed. But this is outrageous, Mamen. He broke my heart" said Fiya at length. He was still crying a little.

Kaianna listened carefully to the heart curses from Fiya. Everything about Fiya had he known outside and inside. Fiya is a woman who cannot hold feelings. It would be crowded if he silenced a thousand languages about his feelings.

And... Kai is the only place to pour out everything, not with his brother, mother or father.

For now, only prayer can be offered to the friend.

"What does the seahorse say?" ask Kai.

Huffts

Fiya sighed heavily.

"He's more accepting, Mamen. He was more patient and calm with all this. Even he who has been taking care of Early Baby. Although I know, Mamen, deep down, he's not ready either." Fiya.

"Mamen, I know you're a strong woman. All these years I've known you, you've been a strong, cheerful woman. You often hide your wounds from others. Outside you laugh, but inside you're fragile."

Kai paused on his words. He wanted to hear Fiya's response.

But it turned out that Fiya was just silent, but there was no longer any more sobbing that was just now.

"The Khalik does not give more trials than the strength of His people. You were chosen because you were strong."

"But, Mamen, I honestly can't accept Nawal completely. What I saw in front of my mother was a lie. It was just to keep my mom's heart entertained. To reduce my mother's burden."

"And you know, Mamen. The brother is married."

"Yes, I know. You invited that time. But I can't come because you don't know I'm a busy ass," said Kai trying to melt the atmosphere. He no longer wanted to feel sad.

"Did she know that she'd broken the seal, Mamen?" ask Kai again.

Instantly, Fiya was there smiling.

Yes, the burden on his shoulders had already reduced. People say, with a story to the right person, the burden will be reduced. Even if the person is unable to provide a solution. But by listening to his curses, even those who vent to be able to pull out his uneg-unegnya even to the point of crying, it means he is comfortable. And the burden is reduced.

"Come, Mamen. But I think he'll close his eyes. Because you can be so happy with your sister. It was also the time they were dating, so possessive right that Nai Nai's guy."

"Name, Son?"

"Deliver her name" said Fiya asserted.

"But, Mamen, I tell you the lie his legs are short. How far will you bury the truth about the Early baby, it will certainly be revealed later. Sooner or later" Kai said.

"Let's not until later baby Awal knows from others," added Kai.

"Yes, Mamen. I-i know. I'll go back to the beginning one day when he's an adult.
