The Third Match.
Bonus part. 2
The night became quiet. Marsel is still grieving. He was alone in the ballroom. Since High School he has only lived alone with mommy Laura. Like the grief of Marsel passing with mommy.
Still fresh in Marcello's memory. When I argue with mommy. Because, Marsel defended Arabella when mommy always advised Bella to change better. But apparently Marsel did not accept his wife was angry Omma. To trigger fights that often occur.
Marsel felt guilty, used to make mistakes and had not had time to apologize. But now that mommy Laura is gone, there's only regret that Marsel feels.
Marsel's chest felt tight when he remembered that. Now that I can't apologize, mommy is already in a different realm. Yep. Regrets always come to an end.
"Mas.. I was looking for it was Mas here," Diah approached her husband.
"It's cold Mas, where wear a thin shirt like this," said Diah attention. Holding the thin T-shirt that Marsel was wearing.
"Diah... about mommy will forgive me, right?" ask Marsel lirih.
"Mas, no matter how bad the behavior of the child, a mother will definitely forgive the mistakes of her children. What's more, mommy, she's a very good in-law. As long as I was her daughter-in-law, I never said anything that offended me, but Mommy knew who I was in the past" Diah said.
"May Yang,"
"The kids are sleeping Which?" marsel put his wife on his shoulder. Hiding heartbreak in front of Diah.
"No, they're still on the yassin surah reading in the room."
"Mas..I know, Mas lost Mom a lot, but with a solitary pensive like this, will not make mom happy. What makes Mom happy is; as a child, Mas must always pray for the late mom," Diah's advice at length.
"You're right baby, we're down yuk," Marsel hooked his wife's arm and then came down from the ballroom to get some ablution water, then to the children's room who were teaching together.
"You've prayed?" ask Marsel. Seemed to have been wearing a koko shirt, sarong, do not forget, kopiah added to his appearance looks religious. Followed by Diah who has been wearing a white color mukena.
"Not yet.." Marsel's five children answered simultaneously. Marsel also invites his children to pray together, then tadarus. The atmosphere of the room was very crowded with verses of the Quran.
Until eight o'clock in the evening, Marsel closed with a prayer.
"Sister... Mama can't you ask for help?" diah asked Calista after they relaxed.
"Seek what Ma please?" Lita enthusiastically approached mama.
"Please get me the kiwi you bought earlier, son. Don't forget to wash first," said Diah.
"Yes Ma," Calista quickly went downstairs. Take the fruit as instructed by Diah. Not long after that I returned.
"It's Ma's fruit" Calista put the fruit on the sofa table.
"Thank you dear..." He immediately took one fruit and bit it.
"Who wants fruit." said Diah on the sidelines biting a kiwi.
"Aseeem.iii..." Ghina shines a light.
"Emang asem's? Ghani try ya Ma," Ghani took one and then tickled it.
"Can... Rafa's the same Rafi you want my son?" ask Diah gently. To his adopted son.
"No" he answered simultaneously.
"Why don't you want to?" Marsel chimed in while scrambling the heads of his two adopted children.
"As Pa, Papa himself, why not try?" Rafa asked back.
"Not what. Papa still has no appetite dear." said Marsel was right.
Diah stopped eating when Marsel looked sad. Then feed the fruit that Diah had bitten. "Try to chew, continue to taste between sour and sweet if Mas feel spoil the tongue." Diah comforts him.
Marsel. "Aach..sam Yang," he said but did not forget to swallow it too.
"Dear to be sour? Has it been done a lot?" tanya Ghina watched.
"What I love is not Mama's deck, but our sister's in Mama's stomach" Calista answered and rubbed Diah's stomach.
Diah smiles then kisses Lita's head. "Mama's son is an adult now."
"Yes, you're all going to be brothers, that means you're all grown up, and you need to be able to protect your siblings." advises Diah.
"Yeeeyyy.." they exclaimed. The sad Marsel was amused by the cute and clever kids.
*******
In a luxurious car, which was traveling at medium speed. The little family is talking.
This family as adults age, the wiser in dealing with various problems, in any situation.
And the envy is; this little family is always harmonious. He is Abhimanyu and Melati.
Especially Abhimanyu. The failure of his marriage with his previous wife Diah, became an extraordinary learning for him.
The handsome man was always careful in his attitude, as well as treating his family, not to hurt them. Especially to Melati, would think twice if Abhimanyu could hurt his wife's feelings so soft.
And so is Melati. The beautiful woman, always respectful and obedient to her soulmate, to make Abim fall in love.
"Where are we going Bi, Ummi?" nizam asked Abi who was driving. The 6-year-old, was; akhmar Nizama Abhimanyu. The first sons of Abim and Melati.
"You must go to Aunt Diah's house, dear.." replied Abim.
"Oh... Who did Ummi die?" Nizam if asked until details if you do not understand it will not stop. So no wonder, if Nizam became a smart child.
"Momny, Om Marsel who died this afternoon," replied Melati.
"Innalillahi.." said Nizam as an adult.
"Tante Diah which one is Bi? Nizam has met yet?"
"Tante Diah's, Mama Kak, Calista," Melati explained.
"Waah.. whose twin sister is Ummi?" the first grade boy of SD, looked delighted.
"Yes baby..." Melati rubbed her son's head.
"Rubber, dear.." replied Abim and Melati together.
"Ummi, about the grandpa in Ummi's stomach can not be twins?" polo Nizam's.
"Hehe.. if you can ask Ummi, Ummi also wants to have twins, like dear Aunt Diah..."
Yes Melati is currently pregnant for seven months. No car stopped in front of Marsel's mansion.
Tok to tok.
*****
"Non Diah, there are guests waiting outside," Marni calls out to Diah who is still gathered in the children's room.
"Who's Ma'am?" ask Marsel and Diah.
"Don't know Non, the guest is pregnant,"
Marsel and Diah went down.
*****
Who misses Melati? stayin' here. Maybe there are confused who Abim and Melati are? I must have not read my previous work. Marriage End Wounds. Because Diah's story is a continuation of the story of Abim and Melati. 💪💪💪❤❤❤.
Budhe InsyaAllah will look at the situation of Anthony, namely, Deddy Rafa and Rafi who are fighting the HIV virus. Can he still survive?
And will also look at the household of Intan and Rony babang. Is their household as happy as Abim's??
