Rearins

Ex-in-law

...°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°...

...Sometimes it takes the worst pain to get the best change......

...###...

Rea stared at the cupcake he managed to make with sparkling eyes. Yes, although mostly assisted by Arinta. But still it was his first result after studying with the Mother for half a month.

Rather than Rea lamenting the fate of her broken home, she would rather watch herself and the little angel who had slowly grown up in her womb.

"Bun, can you wrap it up?", asked Rea as she stroked her slightly stiffened stomach. For some reason, every morning lately his stomach always feels cramping.

Rea is worried about her baby and plans later she will go to consult with her obstetrician.

Arinta turned her head from her activities decorating cupcakes towards her daughter who was sitting sweetly at the mini bar.

"For whom?", asked Arinta back and turned her attention to the cupcake in front of her.

"Make it.", Rea hung up her words while staring at the finished cupcake in front of her. How would Arinta react if Rea said that she would bring it to Aunt Ayla, her Mama Levi, and her former in-laws.

For some reason, this morning Rea suddenly wanted to meet the woman. Whether Aunt Ayla had recovered, or she was still the same as she had last seen.

"Bun, promise don't get angry huh", Rea looked at the misgivings of Arinta who was walking towards him.

"Why should I be angry?."

"Promise first", although Arinta is a good person, very good even. No one can match the kindness of her Mother in this world. But still, when it comes to Levi, Arinta will go straight up. Angry, until Argan or Papi is exposed to the impact.

Arinta frowned but unobtrusively nodded, promising not to get angry.

"I want to play at Aunt Ayla's house", her voice sounded very slow because of fear.

"Tante Ayla?, who?."

Rea played his hand on the thigh, looking at the Mother timidly.

"Mama's Levi."

Rea bit her inner lips when she saw Arinta's widened eyes.

"Why are you there?, you want to meet the former in-laws, if Levi has divorced you?, yes?."

Oh, well, Rea said. If we talk about Levi Mother it will be judes and sensi really.

Though Arinta never once glared fiercely at him, but that all changed because of Levi, the culprit of the problems in his life.

Rea then shook his head quickly, "No Bun, I suddenly found you."

Arinta was silent for a moment. He knew that pregnant women sometimes want something that does not make sense. And now Rea wanted something that he thought was absurd. Even though it can be considered friendly. But still, Arinta doesn't like it.

When he got married, none of Levi's family came. Even when separated, no one from the Levi family wanted to nod. Arinta only felt that her daughter was being played with.

Hey, her daughter's self-esteem is very expensive. Even if the Eiffel Tower is sold, the price is not necessarily comparable to Rea.

Rea had no price, because his daughter could not be bought with money. The best payment for him was a good man who loved him.

"Can, Bun?", Rea pulls up a small shirt worn by Arinta.

"Whatever you like, it's bad. As long as it is good for you and the people around", replied Arinta while stroking the darling of her daughter's mane.

Whatever Rea wanted to do, then they would all support it fully. As long as it can continue to bring out the sickle arch on Rea's sweet face.

"Please, Mother", Rea got up and hugged Arinta with a sigh.

Arinta rubbed the tiny back, "Who are you going?."

"Himself."

"Just like Mother", Arinta let go of her embrace, "Wait a moment", she added and was about to step into her room to prepare herself.

"Not to Bun. I'm asking you to tell my private tutor, if today-"

"Stupid?."

Aish, why did her Mother make it sound like she was a lazy disciple.

Rea grimaced, "Can you?."

Arinta laughed softly then nodded briefly.

"Love you Mother", Rea dyed Arinta's cheek lightning before she ran to her room. Making the mother of the two children smile amusedly, Rea had never been that sweet even though.

...###...

"Be careful, dear, if there is any news soon Mother", Arinta gave a parcel containing the cupcake to Rea.

"Yes, Bun."

"If you don't go with Mother how?."

Rea looked at her Mother who looked very worried.

"Mother does not want to eat Papi later, right?. I can do it myself Bun, do not worry", said Rea trying to convince Arinta. Take her Mother's right hand and kiss the short back of her hand.

"I go first, Assalamualaikum."

"Waallaikumussalam", Arinta waved his lethargic hand at Rea's car which slowly came out from inside the yard of the house.

May the Lord protect Rea wherever and whenever. It is the prayer of a mother's deepest heart.

Twenty minutes away, the red jazz car was finally perfectly parked in the courtyard of the enormous and magnificent house.

Rea turned off his car engine and put the key in the bag. Take a deep breath before taking the parcel next to the steering chair. Rea hopes neither David nor Levi are home. So make it easy to visit Ayla.

Opening the car door, Rea then went down and walked slowly towards the modern-style house.

Knocked several times, until a long greeting sounded from inside as well as the door that was opened. Showing a woman in nurse's clothes.

"Sorry, brother, find out who if you can?", asked the woman politely and kindly.

Rea smiled faintly, "I'm looking for Aunt Ayla, is there?."

"Oh, ada. Ayla's mother was in her room. Please come in."

Rea put her foot inside the house. Follows the woman who takes her to Ayla's room. Actually Rea knows, considering that he's been here with Levi before.

"Oh, someone wants to meet" the woman Rea didn't know her name was seen trying to wake Ayla who was resting.

"It's okay if Ayla's aunt rests again, I can come again tomorrow" Rea said after seeing that Aunt Ayla did not wake up from her sleep. Rea was getting ready to get out of the room. But a weak cry stopped his steps.

"Let's love."

With a slow but definite step his legs swung closer towards the woman wearing the breathing apparatus.

The female nurse who seemed to understand the situation also resigned.

Rea approached, sat on the edge of the bed and held Ayla's weak arm. Why does her ex-laws look worse. Even this room has been transformed like a hospital patient room. There are many tools that Rea does not know what his name is.

But one that Rea is sure, it must be a life support tool for the Turkish woman.

"How are you, Tan?", Rea asked quietly.

Ayla smiled, "Alhamdulillah good."

Seeing that delicate sweet smile, Rea seemed to want to directly spill tears that had been hiding beautifully behind her eyes.

"How are you?."

"I'm good."

"How's your mother's grandson?."

Rea blinked his eyes until the clear liquid just fell. Unable to bear it, Rea then hugged Ayla while crying.

"D-he's good, Tan."

Ayla smiled bitterly with teary eyes, "Don't call Aunty, until whenever you're just your mother's daughter-in-law."

Rea took off her embrace because she was afraid that it might hurt Ayla.

"Don't cry Tan_Ma", muttered Rea removing the watery corners of Ayla's eyes.

"What did you bring?."

Rea glanced at the parcel beside her while grimacing. It should not be the cupcake he gave, but like soup or other foods that Ayla was easy to eat.

"I don't know if Mama is sick. So I brought a cupcake" Rea said with embarrassment.

Ayla smiled, "It's okay."

After that, they both remained silent. Makes the atmosphere become silent for a moment. Rea doesn't know what else she wants to talk about. Plus he is the type of person who is not good at opening a chat.

"Levi is a lot of work."

Rea flinched and looked towards Ayla. It seemed that the woman indeed already knew the problems that existed between her and also her son.

"Sorry Levi yes dear", Ayla rubbed the weak back of Rea's hand.

"Mama is sure it hurts you a lot, but you also have to be sure there must be a reason someone can change drastically in a short time."

Rea tried to digest Ayla's words that seemed to implied a deep meaning. But now Rea felt his brain was lazy to think.

"Ma", call Rea to make Ayla look at her by asking.

"A dozen of my stomachs may?" Rea said after gathering her courage. Actually that's what Rea wanted from visiting Ayla today. Somehow Rea wanted her stomach to be gently rubbed by her Mama Levi.

Ayla smiled softly, "I think Mama's granddaughter misses her Oma. Come here" he told Rea to get closer.

Rea then complied and sat up. Ayla tried to get up to sit with the help of Rea.

"Healthy, baby. Do not be afraid, if Oma is still there, no one will dare to call your happiness. Baban da dahil, bekle onu canim."

Rea blinked his eyes when he heard the foreign language. It looks like it's Turkish. But Rea doesn't know what it means.

"That was-"

"Assalamualaik."

Rea's words who wanted to ask what Ayla's words meant were immediately cut off by a heavy voice that said the greeting flatly. Making two women of different generations look towards the door of the room.

Levi?.

Seeing the man, Rea widened her eyes. Why did Levi come all of a sudden. Make his mood go down.

"Waallaikumussalam, fast tumben?."

Rea woke up when she heard Ayla's voice. The girl got up and stood beside the bed. Levi who had not yet moved from the doorway.

"Udah finished", Levi stepped his feet towards the bed. Stand a little further away from Rea.

"This is what Ma?."

"Cupcake, Rea take it."

Levi turned his head. Staring at Rea who was just standing still looked at Ayla. Then his eyes turned towards the stomach that Rea was trying to cover with the long cardigan he was wearing.

"Mama is ma-"

"Oh", Rea grimaced as she felt her stomach extremely tense. His cramping was not as he usually experienced.

"Why you baby?", Ayla stared worriedly at Rea who was holding her stomach.

"No need, oh" Rea almost fell to the floor if no firm hand was ready to hug her waist from behind.

"Ssshhh", Rea hissed in pain until her eyes closed tightly. No matter who was behind her, Rea leaned against the square chest.

Then unconsciously his hand took Levi's hand which was holding his waist. Put it on his stomach that was already slightly bulging.

Without waiting for instructions, Levi moved his hand to stroke Rea's stomach. Making the pain disappear for a moment. It was different from that of Susan Ayla. Though what he really wanted was the hand of his former in-laws.

But this is much better.

"Be calm boy."

Rea opened her eyes wide when she heard that heavy voice coming from behind her. Rea looked back. And his eyes bought even more when he saw Levi who was also looking at him.

But the man first decided his view.

"Anneni rahatsiz etme, canim" Levi said by putting his chin on Rea's shoulders. While continuing to stroke her dear little angel. There was no David and his spies.

Letting go of longing for a moment, it's okay.

"Biraz daha bekleyein", added Levi still with the language of other planets that Rea did not understand.

"Hersehin powder olmasi dilyyle."

Rea turned towards Ayla who had just also spoken the language that made her planga-plongo.

Oh my God, is that couple of kids and mom talking about her?.
