Second Destiny

“In what way did you cope with his Mih?”

Ayu said the question in a slightly high tone. I don't know where his patience is.

“Don't talk that high to my mom, Ayu. I'm not letting you do that. It may be true that our matchmaking was started by my mother but I would never be willing if anyone raised his voice on my mother. You should also remember that our arranged marriage would not have happened without your parents' consent.” Said Afnan did not accept with Ayu's tone.

The heart of the child who can accept when his mother is treated like that. Although it is not denied we as children sometimes do it unconsciously.

“Already ... it's okay Afnan. Mami understood at this time Ayu was injured.” Mami Rana's speech broke up. He didn't want this problem to get any longer and later he wouldn't get his way out. It really starts with him then he also has to finish it. Must immediately solve it so that no more problems arise.

Afnan who heard his mother's speech could only take a deep breath and massage his temple, “Too you just calm down. Everything will be fine. Mami who filed this matchmaking so of course mami will also be responsible for it. You don't need to offer anything. This matchmaking will be canceled but by not hurting your self-esteem.” said Mami Rana.

Ayu also looked at Rana's mami and then she nodded, “Alright .. I believe in you mih. Please resolve this matter. Sorry for my discourtesy today, too. Like Afnan brother who does not want anyone to raise his voice to his mother then like that also I who do not want anyone to destroy the family's self-esteem.” said Ayu softly.

Mami Rana nodded, “You calm down.” said Mami Rana. After that, Ayu immediately went home.

Now in the living room it is left, Afnan and Rana mami because indeed Riyad papi has gone to work and for both brothers Afnan already have their own families who certainly have their own residence.

Afnan looked at his mami, “Why can this be mih?” ask Afnan.

Mami Rana also shook her head, “Mami also does not know son. Mami had spoken well with Ayu's family and they did not mind at all if this matchmaking was canceled. Because indeed from the beginning also mami has made an agreement that this matchmaking will be continued if indeed you both want. If there is one who does not agree then the matchmaking is void. But now my mom is confused too. Why this could happen. But you take it easy let this be your business. You just focus on the one you take care of.” Mami Rana's words staring at her son were gentle.

His one wish at this time was to see his eldest son happy. Married and have a family of their own. That's what he'll make happen.

“How can I focus on my business mih. If there is this problem.” said Afnan.

“Im sorry mommy son. Again because your mom got in trouble.” Mami Rana.

“Stay mami should apologize to you son.” said mami Rana.

“Do not do that mih. Do you want your sinful son to sin even more for making his own mother apologize.” Azzam. Mami Rana just shook her head in the arms of her eldest son.

“Mami will make sure all is well son. We're going to take Nayya to this house as a daughter-in-law. If it used to fail then make sure this time will no longer be.” Inner mami Rana.

“I just want Nayya to be my wife. She's the only woman I want to be my wife. No problem being second as long as he stays Nayyara.” Inner Afnan.

On Nayya's side, she is now helping Mama Fara cook for lunch.

“Mah, after my iddah period is finished later. I want to go back to work and also return to being a nurse.” Say Nayya on the sidelines washing vegetables.

“Work of course can son. But for nurses, mama-”

“Do not worry about anything mah. I've thought about this long and thoughtfully. I can't go on in my trauma. I have to fight him. After all, I've been undergoing therapy for my trauma. You don't have to worry about anything anymore because your daughter is still the Nayyara you know. I will not fall down during his.” said Nayya.

“I lost my husband. But he was sincere for his departure. I also tried my best. Although I do not deny I also feel guilty for not being a good wife for her. But if I continue to be sad then pity the children. Then mas Risam must also be sad to see me like this. I'll be back to how I was. Start my life with the kids.” said Nayya full of determination. He had already thought about this decision.

“Good. If that's your decision, son. But still you can't work as a nurse before your trauma is completely gone. Mom doesn't want anything unwanted to happen. Mama doesn't want to lose you. Maybe you still have two other children but you are the eldest daughter of mama who made mama a mother for the first time. You're the jewel of our hearts, son. If not for us then at least do for the sake of your three children who certainly want their mother healthy-healthy continue.” Mama Fara.

Nayya who heard her mother's words smiled and nodded, “Alright. I'll do whatever Mom says. I am the jewel of your heart. So for that I beg you not to let go of this first of your hearts easily. I still want to be like this.” said Nayya smiled and gave the vegetables that she had washed clean to her mother.

Mama Najwa was silent and then smiled to hear the words of her eldest daughter that contain an implied meaning that insinuates, “You can not forget Risam son. You're just trying to be strong. Hopefully fate will approve of what you want. Although mama wants you to have another husband soon but it all depends on your decision.” Inner mama Fara.

“I'm not ready if I have to get married again. Not ready.” Inner Nayya.
