Sharing Love: Loving Myself And Herself

Season 2: chapter 10

"Look, marriage is not just a relationship between two people who are married, not just to unite them, unite their bodies, but also to unite their hearts and feelings. So, I don't think we should interfere. Whether Azriel is married to Lucia or Mentari is his choice" Abidzar said.

"But, Mas. If we try to match them, maybe they can have the same feelings. Maybe they could love each other. Lucia told me she loved Azriel.

"Yes, Mother. Lucia already said she loved Azriel, but Azriel told us she loved Mentari. Would it not hurt her feelings after she told us if she loved Mentari, we suddenly asked her to make a match with Lucia? No, Ma'am! I still don't agree if we force them to be a match."

"Khanza, you can't talk. I told you we're not forcing, we're just directing."

"What's the difference in the way you do it? Directing, but using various ways to separate Mentari, in order to make Mentari away from him, if it is intended to direct is not so, Ma'am."

"Then you want to match her with Mentari?"

"I don't want to match her with anyone, no matter what woman she chooses I will always approve of her, whether she chooses Mentari or Lucia even if I approve of her, but with one note he chose women from his heart not from anyone's coercion and certainly ..," Khanza said, stopping his speech and looking at Abidzar.

"What is it for sure?" asked Abidzar who was looked at by Khanza.

"I don't want our past to repeat itself, I don't want Azriel in your position. I want him to marry one woman, only one woman and that's true to his heart, there's no point behind that marriage. There are no lies" said Khanza, in fact he does not want to bring up their past anymore. However, the tension that occurred in the room made him want to not want to remember it again, things that they should not discuss anymore.

"That's over, why are you going back to talking about it?" tanya Farah was annoyed to hear the phrase from Khanza.

"Yes, Mother. It's over and it doesn't need to be discussed anymore, but we have to make it a lesson for our children. The three of us know how sick it is" Khanza said.

"Already, stop. Now that Azriel is alone in the hospital, I'm going back to the hospital now. I just go home to take a shower, I'll talk to him later in the hospital, what he wants." Abidzar stood up from his seat.

"But, Mas.

"Flood. If he wants Mentari, I hope you do nothing and give him your blessing. Although Azriel's choice will hurt your daughter," Abidzar said looking at Farah, he also disagrees with forcing Azriel to choose Lucia if there is no love in their hearts and his son loves another woman.

Lucia who had been listening to their conversation behind the wall, clenched her hands. Although Azriel would not choose him, he would do everything possible to have Azriel with him, whether Azriel loved him or not. Clearly, she must be with Azriel, she will marry him at all costs. Lucia doesn't matter if she also has to share her husband with Mentari like her Mommy used to.

Lucia already knows the story of both Azriel's parents and her mommy, and she already knows why Azriel has two mothers.

Lucia returned to her room, she walked back and forth to wait for her mother to return to her room.

As soon as her mother entered the room, Lucia immediately pulled her mother's hand to sit on the side of the bed, she looked into her mother's eyes and slowly the clear grains began to drip so that they wet her cheeks.

"Lucia, what's up, son? Why are you crying?" farah wiped the tears of her stepdaughter, even though Lucia was only her stepdaughter. However, Farah loved Lucia as much as her own son, just as she loved Azriel who was only born to Khanza when they had the same husband.

"I've heard it all, no one's supporting Mommy to match me to Azriel. How's this Mommy? I don't want that to happen, I don't want Mentari to be betrothed to Azriel. I know Azriel likes Mentari, but that doesn't mean I don't have a chance" said Lucia, whose tears were dripping so hard, that Farah rubbed her cheeks.

"Calm down, trust Mommy. Mommy will do anything to bring you together, Azriel the very son of obedience, she must be according to what mommy said."

"Mommy promise?"

"Yes, Honey. Mommy will try to get you closer before we go home, but remember one thing. Do not take actions that actually make Azriel turn away from you, for example insulting people he likes as you did earlier," said Farah warned Lucia to make Lucia nodded, he knows very well if it is wrong.

"Oh yes, be patient. Mommy will always help you, son," Farah's words make Lucia immediately embrace her stepmother, even though she was not born from Farah's womb. However, never once did Lucia feel that Farah was not her real mother, for her Farah was her mother.

Meanwhile Abidzar who had finished bathing wearing his clothes, Khanza helped Abidzar tighten his shirt.

"Mas, I beg you whatever Farah says, never force Azriel to marry Lucia. I beg you to let her marry the woman of her choice."

"Yes, of course. Don't worry, I won't side with anyone, all decisions are in Azriel's hands."

"You don't worry, I won't make Azriel the same mistake I made, I'm sorry I hurt you" Abidzar said, leaving Khanza to nod.

Abidzar pulled Khanza into his arms, he hugged his wife so tightly, though so many twists and turns on their way to happiness. However, he is very grateful to be able to live together with Khanza, raise their two children and be together until now. He will not let his son also experience the same thing, the thing that even he himself does not know if if he returns to experience it he can go through all of it.

After making his appearance, Abidzar returned to the hospital, where Azriel is currently in the hospital with better condition than before.

Azriel, who himself chose to stare at the screen of his phone, until he accidentally saw if Mentari posted a video where he was making a cake with a new recipe hastag.

"Is this a new recipe?" tanya Azriel sent a reply message on the post.

"Yes, I made two doughs. Want to be the first customer to taste it?"

"Can you send it to the hospital tomorrow?" reply Azriel again.

"But the price is more expensive than the cakes I usually sell" Mentari replied.

"really? What expensive?" ask Azriel back. They just sent each other a message that made it something special for Azriel, her heart even thumping when she saw Mentari across there typing a reply from her message.

"The price is 250,000, how? Did you buy it?"

"Yes already, I can. No papa, just send it to the hospital tomorrow, do you want to come see me again? I come home in the afternoon, you can come in the afternoon or in the morning."

"Sorry yes, it seems I can not come to visit you, maybe tomorrow morning I will just take the cake and have to go to campus," replied Mentari then followed by a photo of his lecture schedule tomorrow.

"Look, there's no time to see you."

"Yes, it's okay. Tomorrow you bring the cake, I want to see you. I miss you" wrote Azriel, but she hesitated to send the message. He thought about changing his sentence. However, he recalled what his father had said. If he has to start giving signs if he likes Mentari, maybe by saying the word miss, it can start his mission to get Mentari's heart, the message was sent.

Azriel please be anxious when you see Mentari typing a message there.

"All right, I'll drive him myself. It's a long time ago yes, I was busy" Mentari replied.

"Yes, I wait," Azriel's reply was sent with a smile on her face. Mentari did not mind the message at all, next time he will send messages that more indicate if he likes it.

"I can definitely express my feelings for her," muttered Azriel smilingly looking at the screen of her phone.

"Who are you texting until you smile like that?" ask Abidzar who just came.

"With Mentari, Well," Azriel answered honestly.

Incidentally, the father also wanted to discuss the matter of Mentari and his son had started it. Abidzar approached his son who was still leaning on his bed.

"What did you talk about until you looked so happy?"

"Nothing special, Dad. I just ordered the cake, she said she had a new recipe."

"Do you really love Mentari?" abidzar asked, making Azriel nod to justify what her father had asked.

"What about Lucia?"

"Lucia? What's wrong with Lucia, Dad?"
