The Love That Is Taken

Mama Karin

Suddenly the sound of the door opening. Karin. At the door came a little girl who, yes, God. It was similar to him when he was a kid! The difference is that the girl was sitting on a wheelchair driven by her father. While the little Karin used to be free to walk and run wherever she liked.

"Mama, why are you crying? This auntie too. What makes you sad?" ask the boy plainly. He looked at the two women in turn. The look in his eyes implied great curiosity.

This child is very critical, praise Karin in heart. He also has a great deal of empathy for others. She is.my biological child!

Theresia immediately asked Jonathan to put their son in bed, so that he would be close to her and Karin. Husband undertakes. He lifted the princess from a wheelchair and sat her in front of the two women.

"Valen, introduce this...Mama Karin," said Theresia excitedly.

His son turned to him. "Why call Mama? Not Aunt Karin?" tanyanya did not understand.

Karin's heart was as if slashed to hear it. So-so. Meanwhile Theresa shook her head and said softly to the princess, "She's Valen's mother too. So it should be called Mama Karin, ok?"

"Why did Valen suddenly have two mamas? Strange," lick Valentina was curious. Karin looked at him with a question mark. Her biological mother was silent not responding to the innocent child's comments.

Theresia touched the back of Karin's hand. Patted softly sign asked him to be patient. The girl nodded while smiling bitterly. He understands Valentina still feels foreign to her existence.

"Valen knows why Mama There and Mama Karin are crying? Because this was our first meeting after a long time apart. We both feel overwhelmed. You know who Mama Karin is?" teresa asked back.

Valentina shook her head slowly.

Theresia then answered wisely, "Mama Karin's sister Mama Theresia, dear. All Mama There has is Mama Karin's too. Including Valentina, Papa, and this house. That's why from now on Valen should call her Mama too. Understand, Son?"

A smile of joy began to linger on Valentina's lips. "Looks good yeah, got two mama. Hehe.... So it can be hugged like this."

The nearly six-year-old then embraced Theresa affectionately. His mother laughed loudly. She hugged Karin and her son together. The girl was so happy to be so close to her daughter.

Meanwhile, Jonathan, who had been silent since, watched them smile happily. Eyes glazed. He was relieved to see the scene before him. The three women he loved embraced each other with warmth. Theresia, Karin, and Valentina.

***

Karin spent the afternoon and evening chatting with Valentina and Theresia. Her biological children have started to call her Mama Karin. Even at dinner, Valentina spoiledly asked the girl to feed her. He said he wanted to know what it was like to be fed a new mom. Karin, of course, granted her daughter's request.

Theresia who had been tired of talking since had not eaten in the dining room. He ate alone in his bedroom. Jonathan intends to accompany her, but is prevented.

"Help Karin to dinner with Valentina" he asked with pleading eyes. "They are still in the moment of introduction."

Jonathan nodded. He pecked his wife's forehead, then he called the personal nurse Theresia who had been waiting outside.

After eating with Karin and her daughter, the man offered to drive the girl home.

"Alright," answered Karin relented. "Thank you, Mum."

Thus finally the ex-lover is now sitting together in a car driven at standard speed by Jonathan in the dimness of the night. They talked about many things, especially about Karin's experience during her stay in China. It turned out that the girl took the time to visit some famous cities in the Bamboo Curtain country. Such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and some other places.

"Mas Jon," he said later. "Theresia's mother showed a folder containing data on medical and alternative medicine clinics in China that are experienced in dealing with spinal cord disorders such as Valentina...."

At the request of the concerned, he now calls Jonathan's wife Mbak Theresia, not Bu Theresia as before.

Jonathan scolded. "I admit, There is very tenacious to search for information on the internet and collect the data, Rin. He started doing it a year ago. Since then he has been saturated with various treatment routines for his illness. I actually intended to help her, but she insisted on doing it herself" the man explained at length.

"Thank you, Mas" said Karin.

"For what?" jonathan asked while frowning. "What have I done to get your thanks?"

"Thank you for taking the courage to meet me at work. I'm powerless to throw you out of shame. Try if you come home, I won't take it."

"Oh, I see," the man commented with an amused chuckle. "So I'm really gonna drive you out if you look for you at home?"

The girl nodded firmly. "For me what has passed let it pass. It's been closed tight and it's best not to open again."

"I know very well what you stand for, Rin," said Jonathan grimacing. "That's why I didn't look for you at home."

"Yes?" ask the girl in astonishment. "How do you know, Jon?"

"I know you more than you think, Karin."

The man slowed down his car and got into the parking lot of a supermarket. "Lho, how come you stop here, Mas? You want to buy something at the supermarket?" tanyanya.

The man shook his head. After parking his car, he kept the engine running. Then he saw the girl sitting next to him. Karin's heart became a dag dig dug. Jonathan smiled.

"You forgot we talked in the car, in the parking lot of this supermarket?"

Karin's memory hovers over the events of seven years ago. When he was first invited to watch the cinema by Jonathan who is still the leader. After that he was driven home but in the middle of the road suddenly his boss parked his car in the parking lot of a supermarket....

"Yes, God!" screeched the girl while covering her mouth with her hands. "Here we are, first time...."

"Kiss!" toilet of the man. Karin was full of longing. "But I won't do that this time. I just want to make sure you still remember the good memories between us."

Karin smiled bitterly. How could he forget? It is to this man that he is given the crown of his chastity as a woman. In this man is given his heart so completely that there is no room for other men since they separated. It is to this man that he....
