The Story of Dara

CHAPTER 55. Relieved

Erfan drove his car through the gate of XXY Residence housing, not to visit his new home but to visit the house of Mama Eri who was in the same housing with him.

"Where is Ra's house" asked Erfan after entering the residential gate.

"just go straight, turn right at the front intersection, keep straight again" said Dara briefing.

Erfan nodded his head in understanding. "Away from our new home!"

"Yes, far away."

Erfan's car stopped in front of a minimalist fence house with a gray flower accent.

"This is her house?" ask Erfan to make sure.

"The two nodded their heads,"

"Let's go down" Erfan said as he released the seat belt that coiled around his body.

"Kok quiet?" erfan asked to see Dara who was still sitting unmoved.

"I'm afraid Mas" said Dara softly staring at Erfan.

"No need to be afraid, there is me" Erfan smiled as he helped remove the seat belt that was coiled in his wife's body.

"Come on!" erfan said before getting out of the car, taking the hand that was in the back seat before stepping his foot towards the gate followed by Dara who came out of the passenger front door.

"The fence is not closed Mas," said Dara after standing in front of the fence Mama Eri.

"Come on Ra," said Erfan holding Dara's hand to step their feet towards the main door.

Tok tok tok, "Assalamualaikum" said Dara knocking on the door.

"Waalaikum salam," came the reply from inside the house.

Dara's heart pounded even more when she recognized the voice of the woman who answered her greeting.

The main door was opened, and Mama Eri was standing behind the door.

"What business are you guys doing here?" mama Eri asked with a cold look.

Dara's body was getting frozen, her eyes began to water as she stared at Mama Eri's bead eyes, very cold, as if implying a hatred.

"Does Mama hate me so much now?" tanya Dara was still standing looking at Mama Eri.

While Mama Eri just kept quiet did not want to answer Dara's question.

"Can we go in Auntie?" erfan said politely.

Without making a sound Mama Eri immediately turned her body to step into the house.

"Come on Ra," said Erfan softly staring at Dara who was still glued beside him.

Erfan and Dara immediately entered the living room to follow in Mama Eri's footsteps.

"We brought an apple for Auntie, Dara said Auntie liked it a lot." Erfan said as he placed a basket of apples on the table.

Mama Eri remained silent without a sound, staring at Dara and Erfan alternately. "Just in person, what business are you doing here?" mama Eri asked without saying anything.

"I want to apologize to Mama," said Dara lowered her head after sitting on the sofa opposite Mama Eri.

"For what mistake did you apologize?" mama Eri said again, making Dara straighten her head, looking back at the woman who once loved her like her own biological child.

"For your fault for playing with your son? or is it your fault for betraying your mother's child?"

Dara's tears flowed when she heard Mama Eri say, "I admit that I was wrong Ma, I hurt God too much, but I didn't mean it like that Ma, circumstances that forced me to betray our love." Dara tries to control her feelings.

"What circumstances? the matchmaking your parents made just because they wanted to return the favor to your husband's family?"

Dara nodded her head slowly between her cries.

“We can cancel now, I'll talk to Dad. For business with Om Subrata let later Mother the same Father who bear it.”

Dara lowered her head again as she recalled her mother's words before the proposal began. "True, I was wrong Ma, I did not have the courage and effort to maintain my relationship with God," said Dara Lirih remained down.

"I could have gone against my parents Ma's wishes, forcing my desire to maintain my happiness, but what about their feelings? I don't have the courage for that Ma! how can I be happy when I see my parents disappointed." Dara said crying.

"I hope Aunt Eri can understand Dara's position, don't be too cornering Dara because it's not all my wife's fault, she's just trying to keep her parents' feelings, she said, circumstances really forced him to hurt God's feelings and his own feelings." Erfan tried to make a sound.

"Are you here to force Mama to understand your position Ra? and justifying all your actions that hurt your child as if everything was okay?" mama Eri looked at Dara.

Dara shook her head, "It's not like that Ma," said Dara, crying more and more.

"How can you ask Mother for such understanding from the person you hurt Ra? Do you think you can understand your position when you see your child crying because of you?" Mama cried when she remembered her son.

"I didn't ask Mama Eri at all to understand my position" Dara said before standing up and changing her seat beside Mama Eri.

"I just want to apologize for disappointing Mama" said Dara holding Mama Eri's hand.

"Don't assume everything's okay Ma, piss me off, maki me Ma, I'd better take it all from Mama, but don't let me down, don't look at me as if Mama hates me." Dara said increasingly crying while bowing her head in the lap of Mama Eri, on the hands of Mama Eri who she still held.

Mama Eri was speechless seeing Dara's increasingly broken cries.

"Look at Mama, Ra," said Mama Eri made Dara lift her head to look at Mama Eri.

"Are you happy now?" mama Eri asked staring in Dara's bead.

"Sorry Ma...."

"Mom don't want your apology Ra, Mama just wants to know if you're happy?" mama Eri asked again looking at Dara.

Dara nodded her head slowly feeling more and more guilty.

Mama Eri immediately grabbed Dara's shoulder before bringing her into her arms. "Mama is happy because your sacrifice for your parents produces sweet results in your life" said Mama Eri while gently stroking Dara's head.

Dara was crying more and more in Mama Eri's arms, the burden that from yesterday she carried seemed to disappear because of the sentence she had just heard, making her feel relieved.

Erfan smiled with relief before opting out and leaving Dara and Mama Eri in the guest room.

Mama Eri pushes Dara's body slowly from her embrace, staring into Dara's bead before wiping away the remaining tears on her son's ex-lover's cheek. "Do you know that your mom loves you very much? Mama already considers you like Mama's own child, Mama is disappointed and angry with this situation, but Mama can't possibly hate a good child like you." Mama Eri said with a smile on her lips.

"Thank you Ma. Thank you for not hating me" said Dara again hugging Mama Eri.

Mama Eri returns Dara's embrace, before gently stroking Dara's back.

"Can I still play here, Ma?" dara asked after releasing her embrace.

"May," said Mama Eri nodding her head.

"I'm so happy Ma, I'm happy because I can still be a friend and a child Mama" said Dara smiling as she wiped the rest of her tears.

"Two weeks later I move into this house Ma, there will be a small thanks, is Mama ready to come?" Said Dara again.

"To the house where we met yesterday?'

"Yes," Dara replied nodding her head slowly.

"We'll see you later, okay? Mama try to come, do you also invite Lord Ra?"

"Mas Erfan is too jealous of God Ma, do you mind if I don't invite him?" dara was doubtful.

"You better not invite him, Ra, don't make his heart hurt."

Dara nodded her head in understanding.
