The Left Behind Story

28 ~ About Stepmom Varo

The handsome baby named Muhammad Akbar slept quietly after being full. Dewi smiled happily looking at the handsome face of the baby who had been present at his first marriage with Fadil.

“It turns out you are destined to be a Mama's child. Stay healthy and cheerful because it is a weapon for Mama always strong beside you. Thank you for being there and for standing with Mama when everyone left. You're the only one you have so stay healthy because without you maybe Mama won't survive.” The Goddess muttered and wiped her tears.

The day changed months. The life of the Goddess is improving. Four years he spent studying in Malaysia and then he arrived at the final stage. He had to go home because the college had contacted him. He must apply his knowledge there. Unmitigated, thanks to the knowledge and achievements and recommendations of professors, Dewi received calls from several famous campuses in Indonesia to become a teacher there.

Today, Najla, who is pregnant, comes with Zayed to the apartment to celebrate graduation and farewell to the Goddess. The woman was happy but there was something stuck in her heart and Najla saw it. Zayed plays with Akbar who has been very close to the baby while Najla talks to the Goddess.

“Same story saye, what messed up your mind?” Goddess smile.

“If there is an S4, I want to continue again. I don't know where to go when I get there.”

“Call your friend! Let them help!” Goddesses shake.

“My name is already bad there. They must be ashamed to be in touch with me again.”

“Kenape you think bad? Saye sure your friends are kind.”

The goddess ignored Najla's advice. He contacted one of the female lecturers on campus and asked about the official house given to the lecturers. And lucky Goddess because once in arrived, the house can be occupied immediately.

The day of return arrived. Najla and Zayed supplied Akbar with a lot of goods until they had to send through the expedition due to excess baggage. After five years of being there, this is the first time the Goddess returned to the homeland and now she is not alone but there is a handsome little toddler and always the center of attention of people. The handsome baby who was used to being independent never cried except when he was in pain like being bitten by an ant. The rest he never cried and troubled his mother.

There is no welcome because he is not someone to be welcomed. Only a car from campus was assigned to pick him up and take him to the official house ready for habitation.

“Home no furniture yet, do you want to buy after this?” tawar Pak Subur the driver from campus.

“Bby, Sir. That's a staple for now.”

Dewi was lucky because the store wanted to deliver all the Goddess's goods today as well. Not long after Dewi arrived, the truck from the store also arrived and immediately entered one by one the new items belonging to the Goddess.

The two-room house was already spacious enough for the Goddess let alone free. After this Dewi only needs to think about Akbar's interests. She needs someone or she'll drop them at the daycare. Dewi had not fully believed it, she would ask the lecturers who lived in the same complex after this.

Without much to know, Dewi is currently continuing her dream of becoming a professor. He is preparing a scientific paper for it. Dewi returns to campus life as a lecturer. The campus has not changed much, only a few buildings have increased as the number of students increases.

Enough two years for Dewi to become famous for his achievements managed to bring the name of the campus increasingly skyrocketed and within two years he managed to occupy the position as dean of the campus. Unmitigated performance for an alumni. The face of Dewi is increasingly displayed in several billboards every season of new student admissions. His face also often appears in the daily newspaper until some people in the past saw the face again. Eva, Fadil, the great family of Fadil and Dewi, Fiqi as well as his extended family. Various feelings arise in their minds when they see people who are hated, loved or forgotten have now returned with their heads held high to the future.

None of those in conflict wanted to meet the Goddess, only two friends left behind and a man who had become the husband of another person now looked weakly at the newspaper sheet in his hand. His heart ached but tried to toughen up after an inner war that made him lose because the family was more entitled to his life than himself. Now, Khatijah, wife of Fiqi is pregnant after marrying their second child.

“You are happy, Ukhti! Keep smiling like this. You must be happy.” Inner Fiqi wiped away as clean as the water that escaped from the tip of his eyes.

While in a simple coffee shop, Fadil trying to find more info about Dewi. Fadil was curious about the condition of the Goddess. More precisely he was curious about what had been done to the woman. Fadil wants to know if Dewi is pregnant and has children from her past actions or not. Unfortunately, there is no personal information from the Goddess. It is all about his achievements and scientific works.

No one knew about Akbar, Dewi closed the meeting access information about her son to the public. Only a handful of people on campus knew about it. Dewi did not want to make his life difficult after news about Akbar sniffed the media.

He is not an artist but there will be people in the past who will come to him if they find out there is Akbar with him. It is also a reason for Dewi to always schedule meetings with her students on campus. He does not accept guests at his home and he avoids questions about his personal life every time he interviews with newspapers or news stations.

The baby, who is now almost five years old, is now starting school at PAUD not far from campus. A nanny who for two years has kept him always faithfully took Akbar. For two years in Indonesia, Akbar has never met anyone from his mother's family. Only about the girl and the nanny he knew. As much as possible the Goddess always took the time to take her son. Armed with a mask and glasses, no one knows him out there. Dewi Kerab spends her time off by visiting child-friendly places with her nanny Akbar. Not to forget, masks and glasses became the mainstay of the Goddess when she came out. Akbar is very active and his speech is also quite make Dewi qualahan. Like at the moment. Suddenly Akbar said,

“Mama, Which Brother's Father?”
