My son, not my son

My son, not my son
Chapter 45. Viral News 2



"Name ... Who is it?" tanyanya. He tried to remember the name of the child in question in the news that he watched this morning.


"Duh, forget it again" he lamented.


"What's his name, Mom?" He asked Nadia for help.


"His name is Nawal Kahla. He goes to school here too. Like a classmate with our children," Nadia explained to others.


They didn't realize that behind them anyone was hearing their current conversation.


"This can't be allowed. Where can children outside of school marriage here. We'd better report it to the principal. We ask for firmness from him" said Sarah's mother fiery.


"Eh, mothers. It can't be that." Suddenly a mother tried to remind them. Prevent them.


"The child knows nothing. It was wrong for his mother and father. We can't be vigilante" he added later in a soft tone. He realized, not all humans want to accept what we say even though it is good. Not necessarily good for them either.


Other mothers, some nod their heads and some sneer as well.


Meanwhile, Nadia's mother and Sarah's mother are irritated by the words of Dea's mother, who tries to prevent them. According to them, Dea's speech was long and senseless. They both felt that something wrong should not be maintained.


And they have charged that the fault of the parents of Nawal is the fault of his son as well.


"Eh, Dea don't just talk to you. It's obvious that her son was wrong, too" Sarah argued.


"Yes, right," said Nadia's mother to allow the speech of Sarah's mother.


Other mothers even agreed with the words of Sarah's mother earlier. They were very supportive of having to expel Nawal from this school.


"But, mothers, Nawal did not know anything about his status. He was a kid. Do you have kids like him? I know her parents' behavior is wrong, but it's not her son's fault "


While the woman who heard all their chatter was already very panicked. He only found out about the news after hearing the talk of the mothers. Sorry he was this morning because he did not watch the news that was viral until it was finished.


If he sees it, then he's not that panicked. So he's not that surprised.


Suddenly Fiya remembered Nawal.


"Did Nawal hear this news?" inner wondering.


Wishing her full heart so that this news would not reach her ears. He did not want his son's mentality to drop. And most of all, he did not want Nawal to leave him because he had learned that he was not a biological child.


Slowly, Fiya turned his bike. He wanted to leave that place. The place that made him remember the wound that had been tightly closed, was now gaping back.


Back, those bitter memories haunted his mind. Memories of her mother crying of Ela, who was pregnant without a husband. They give birth to children without marriage.


But apparently, his presence was realized by a gathering of mothers.


"Eh, uh, mothers, look there" he told his friend. He grabbed the arm of the friend next to him.


They turned their heads, looking in the direction the mother pointed.


"Mother is not.." said Nadia.


"Nawal Kahla's mom" Sarah said.


"Yes, that's the boy's son. The bastard," pressed Nadia.
