The Flower of Mayu

Nia in Return

Nia sat down beside her In-laws after the Doctor finished examining her.

"How's my Mom doing, Doctor?" Nia asked with a worried look

"He was just in shock, there was nothing to worry about"

Deny breathed a sigh of relief as well as Nia.

***

Nia and Deny were both silent.

'Drrttt drtt's'

"Hello"

"No way, Mama's sick"

"Yes"

Then Deny ended the phone

"Who are you from, Mom?" Ask Nia

"Crazy"

Hearing that name Nia instantly felt her heart slashed

"If you have any business with him, go. Let me take care of Mama"

"You say that like I don't want to take care of Mama" she said"

"Mass?" Nia was shocked to hear the words coming out of her ex-husband's mouth

"Nia, after Mama realized we talked about this with Mama. I don't want to be stamped as an evil husband"

"Yes" lethargicly

After 30 minutes passed Mama Deny was aware, her eyes were teary when she saw Nia was beside her and she quickly hugged her

"Mrs"

"Mama..."

Nia returned her mertunya embrace while shedding tears

"It was just a dream, right? Mom just dreams, right?"

Nia did not answer

"Ma" called Deny as she walked into her mother's room

"Deny" Mama Deny took off her arms with Nia

"Thank God Mama is conscious" Deny said and approached her mother

"Mama's running out of nightmares"

"What dream, Ma?"

"Your dream is divorced. Mama thought it was real, thank God it was just a dream"

Nia swallowed

"Ma, it's not a dream" Nia said slowly

Mama Deny was silent...

***

"Might you guys" Mama Deny shed tears after hearing what happened

"Nia, Mama's disappointed in you"

Nia raised her head and saw her eyes back in tears

"Why don't you keep your household? Mom's disappointed"

"I'm sorry Nia, Ma. Nia doesn't want to be in honey"

"Then do you have to choose this path?" Mama Deny hurt her tears.

"Ma"

"Shut up, Deny! My mom is disappointed in you too. Mama doesn't want to be with your boyfriend but you're still fighting Mama"

"Sorry" said Deny

"Pull back your talaq, Deny"

"Can't, Ma. Nia asks Deny to take Lila off and Deny can't. Nia herself also asked for the talak to be dropped on her"

"Deny, open your eyes" Mama Deny got up from her bed and walked towards Denya who was sitting on the sofa

"Open your eyes, son. Here is your legal wife. She's the best" Mama Deny cupped her son's face

Deny shook

"Ma, Deny's love for Lila is too big. Deny had also done what hurt her heart by accepting this matchmaking" Deny's eyes flushed red

"Your love for her has blinded you, son. Be aware"

"Ma, behind her family who are after our treasure, Lila has a sincere love for Deny. He even wants to be second when he should be the one"

'Tick tik's'

Suddenly it rained, slowly but steadily enlarged and made the atmosphere strange

"Deny please, Ma. Just once, let Deny vote for Deny's decision"

Mama Deny was silent for a moment and then she walked to her bed again

"Get the hell out of you"

"Mama" Nia bit her lower lip

Dennya let out a heavy sigh and then stepped out of her Mama's room.

"Nia, Mama still hopes you guys get back together" he said slowly but still can be heard by Nia

Nia smiled holding back her cries, then she closed the door to Mama Deny's room

"What should I do?" Ask yourself

Nia walked into her room and saw her reflection in the mirror. He touched the necklace Deny gave him a firm grip

"I'll take you to your parents' house" said Deny, who came out of the bathroom

"No need, I can do it myself"

"You'll face your Mama's shock alone if I don't hand you over to your parents"

Nia fell silent. He started to pull his clothes out of the closet. Deny who saw Nia busy alone then he helped her by taking Nia's suitcase

After 1 hour, Nia's belongings were already finished in the pack. Nia went back into her in-laws room to say goodbye

"Ma?" call Nia

Mama Deny who was inside the blanket did not answer him at all. Nia touched his shoulder slowly

"Ma, I'm sorry I haven't been able to be the daughter-in-law that Mama wanted, not being able to maintain the household, not being the perfect daughter-in-law for Mama. Nia said yes, Ma. Hopefully, Mas Deny's choice will be a source of happiness for this family"

"Ma, Nia loves Mama. Take care of your health. Assalamu'alaikum" Nia stepped out of her in-laws room and closed the door slowly

After Nia came out of her room, Mama Deny opened the blanket and cried softly

"Even I'm being a stupid in-law, I can't keep my own son-in-law" she said, wiping away her tears

🍀🍀🍀

"During Iddah, you can visit Mama. Let me take care of our divorce papers later"

"Yes" Nia took a deep breath

***

Nia got off the car following Deny. Mama Nia who heard the sound of the car immediately opened the door and smiled happily to see Nia and Deny who came

But he was confused to see Denya who took the suitcase in the trunk of his car and Nia's eyes were swollen

"Son? You guys are here one night?"

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma"

"Wa'alaikum salam"

Deny and Nia kiss the back of Mama Nia's hand

"You guys, let's go in first. It's cold outside"

Nia and Deny nodded, the three of them then went inside the house. Mama Nia served warm tea for the two of them

"Let's have a drink, you'll be cold"

Nia smiled then sipped her warm tea

"Oh yeah, you guys are planning on staying here huh? I'm so happy!" Mama Nia thought Deny and Nia would stay a long time at her house because they brought all the suitcases

"You guys have eaten yet? If you haven't, Mama's gonna have dinner for you"

"No need to bother Auntie" Deny refused

Mom Nia was silent

"Aunty??" Ask

Nia squeezed her finger and faced down

Deny breathed out slowly

"Sorry, Deny will say something that might hurt. We're not here to stay, but Deny's driving Nia back to Auntie"

'The 'Praaangg' glass in Mama Nia's hand fell to the floor and broke

"What does this mean?"

"Mama... Actually..." Nia felt heavy to convey it

"We're actually divorced. Nia has been in the talak one"

Mama Nia pecked, her heart was broken to see the household of her son who was even a child of corn run aground

"You're kidding, right?" Mama Nia doesn't believe it

"We're serious, Ma" Nia raised her head and smiled sadly

Mama Nia was speechless

🍃🍃🍃

Deny said goodbye and left the Nia family residence. After Deny left, Nia immediately hugged her Mama and sobbed

"I'm sorry, Ma"

"Sorry..."

Mama Nia hugged her Daughter and stroked her back, she cried seeing that her Daughter's household had finished up here

"You're not wrong, son"

Nia explained what happened to make herself choose to leave

"I don't want to be third and I don't want to be in honey" either"

"Yes, Son... Yes" Mama Nia kissed her daughter's forehead

"I'm sorry Mama has made an arranged marriage that ultimately makes this beloved Princess Mama sick"

"I'm sorry Mama"

Mama Nia feels guilty for having betrothed Nia to Deny. They hugged each other and apologized.

🍀🍀🍀🍀

A week passed,

Nia who was looking at the stock in the warehouse suddenly got a phone call from Deny. With sadness he kept picking up the phone from Deny.

"Nia, my mom's sick. Mama wants to see you."

"Mama's sick? But,,,"

"I'll send a driver to pick you up, it's for Mama's sake."

"Huuftt, okay. I'll get my own car there. Thanks." Nia ended it immediately.

With mixed feelings he finally reached Deny's house, he was ushered in by Art. When he entered the room, he saw Diana lying on the bed, Lila and Deny were guarding Diana.

"Hi," said Lila sweetly.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Nia comes Ma." She sat down next to Diana. Diana opened her eyes, shedding tears, Diana's hand reaching for Nia's hand.

"More.."

"Yes, Ma. This is Nia," Nia could not help but cry, she kissed Diana's hand.

"Mama take care of health dong, Nia will be worried about Mama. Nia can't calm down later,"

"How can Mama be okay when you two are like this."

"All will pass," Nia kissed Diana's forehead.

☘☘☘

'Ddrrrtt ddttt'

"Sorry, I have a phone" Deny came out of her mother's room. Seeing Diana who was asleep, Lila invited Nia to chat 4 eyes in the backyard.

"Other than you want?"

"Loh! How angry? From the beginning Deny was mine. You must be self-aware, must be aware of what your position is. Basic male seductress people."

"Listen yes, I'm honestly disgusted to see your presence. Moreover, your pretentious attitude is to Mama Deny, you're smart what a cunning ya."

Nia turned her body and would step away from before Lila. Lila touched Nia's shoulder.

"Oh yeah, next time don't tease guys anymore huh, shy dong pretty-beautiful gatel!"

Nia slaps Lila's hand and leaves Lila alone.

"Deny is mine," muttered Lila with a triumphant smile
