The Wasted Bride

Meeting an Ex

After long nights Arwaa passed with great unrest. This morning where he had given his little angel an appointment to pick up at Calgary YYC Airport. Finally Arwaa tried to start the morning by carving her smile even though it was heavy because there were memories that she had to welcome.

Talking is easy, but not when it is done. Arwaa is well aware as she shares complaints about her past with Grace on the night she first heard the news of the arrival of the Memories.

His mouth said, he will try to be sincere about what has happened. But in fact until now, until the man of his past few hours again set foot in the same city as him. Arwaa has not been able to express the pain of the failure of her marriage.

With Grace and Marius on board, Arwaa is now at Calgary's YYC International Airport awaiting the arrival of her ex-husband's family.

Marius did not turn his eyes to Arwaa. The man already knew about the people Arwaa was waiting for after she forced Grace to tell him.

At first Marius himself did not believe that it turned out that his cousin's best friend had been married because it looks like Arwaa is still young. But seeing the restlessness in Arwaa, Marius became convinced that what they were waiting for were people from Arwaa's past.

There was a bit of dislike when Grace said that one of the people who would come here was Arwaa's ex-husband.

I don't know Marius has been interested in Arwaa since the first time they met even though he admitted it was a bad meeting because Arwaa was different from people who used to claim to be friends of Grace. Sincerity is evident in Arwaa's eyes every time she is with Grace.

"You okay?"

Arwaa smiled and nodded in response to Grace's question standing next to her.

"You know Arwaa, your existence strengthens me so much when I am restless. I hope that my existence can strengthen you at this time, too," Grace said staring at the people who passed by in front of her.

Arwaa puts her hand on Grace's arm. "of course. Your existence here is very soothing to my heart Grace," said Arwaa sincerely.

"What about my existence?" Sela Marius who had noticed two women in front of him.

Arwaa herself was slightly jolted. She thought Marius had not heard her conversation with Grace. Arwaa bumbling herself with the blonde man's question.

"Of course your existence is very important at the moment to be our driver temporarily," Grace ridiculed and then made Marius snort in annoyance at it.

"YESY!!"

As if there was a flow of electricity on him, Arwaa's body stiffened hearing the voice of the little girl he had longed for. No, not because of Hanna or Bu Hayya who is currently walking towards Arwaa with a big smile. But the figure of the man looking at her longingly behind Hanna and Bu Hayya.

Arwaa regained her senses as soon as Grace touched her hand and smiled soothingly at him. Soon Arwaa changed her expression and walked towards Hanna and Bu Hayya.

"Mother..."

Hanna immediately rushed to embrace Arwaa making Bu Hayya and Aldair who were still keeping their distance smiling.

"Hanna darling. Mother missuu," Arwaa hugged the little girl who was in her arms. The last time they met was when Hanna was in Toronto with Attalaric.

"Hanna also miss Bundaaaaa huaaa,"

Everyone who was there was shocked by Hanna who suddenly cried a hiccup in Arwaa's arms.

"Why baby?" Tanya Arwaa took off their embrace and looked at the sweet face of Hanna who was soaked by her tears.

"Sorry Mother yes. Mommy is now in school again so Mommy was busy yesterday," explained Arwaa wipe gently the tears on Hanna's cheeks.

"Hannaaah. Grandma also misses your mother, change dong."

Arwaa smiled when she looked at her former mother-in-law whom she would always consider her own mother.

"Jaudah Grandma may hug Mother first, but later replace Hanna again ya Nek," said Hanna plain in between her crying Isak, invited their little laughs that were there except Grace and Marius because they did not understand Bahasa Indonesia.

Arwaa's eyes closed feeling a warm embrace from Bu Hayya. O God, how Arwaa longed for this gentle woman. Grateful to finally be able to meet directly after a long time without seeing each other.

"You healthy, baby?" Hayya ma'am stroked Arwaa's cheeks as soon as their embrace slipped. There was a hint of sadness emanating from the middle-aged woman's eyes as she looked at Arwaa.

"Alhamdulillah Mother. How's your own mother?"

"Alhamdulillah my mother is healthy. Oiya you got greetings from Father and Arrazi. They miss you too. The house gets quiet, usually crowded if there's you and Hanna."

Arwaa wiped away a drop of Bu Hayya's tears.

"Sorry baby. Mother was just moved. I finally get to see you again" he said.

"Wa'alaikumsalam for Father and Mas Razi. Arwaa misses everything there too, misses Mom too. Even still can't believe Mom is now in front of me" Arwaa smiled gently as she held onto both hands of Bu Hayya.

"Now we go to my apartment first, ma'am. Hanna and Mas Genta are also tired. I asked to take my friend. Meet Grace and her cousin Marius. And Grace, Marius, let me introduce them. This is my mother and niece, and..." [Buxom, Marius. This is my mother and nephew, and.].

Arwaa glanced awkwardly at Aldair. He was confused as to what to introduce the man as. Actually Arwaa herself does not mind introducing Aldair as her ex-husband, but she is worried that Aldair does not like it.

"Hi, I'm Aldair, Arwaa's brother." [Hi, I am Aldair, Brother Arwaa.]

See?! Thought Arwaa indeed Aldair did not want to be said as her ex-husband.

Though Aldair himself had no problem with it, only he saw the confusion of Arwaa so Aldair stepped forward and introduced himself as Brother Arwaa. Without her knowing if Grace and Marius already knew who she was.

"Hallo," Sapa Grace who Bu Hayya replied with a smile and a nod. Same with Aldair. While Marius did not heed Aldair's existence, he only gave a knotty smile to the middle-aged woman in front of him.

Seeing Marius's behavior makes Grace anxious herself because it is not polite. If it wasn't in a public place, he would have hit his head.

"Mother... Mother... don't miss Uncle Al?" Hanna's chirps made the atmosphere instantly awkward. Especially for Arwaa and Aldair, they are confused themselves must respond to what kind of innocence Hanna. Although told, not necessarily the sweet child understands.

"Hehe... Already, already. Let's better go straight to your Mother's house, baby," said Bu Hayya trying to divert the attention of his granddaughter from Arwaa and Aldair.

If you can be honest, Miss Hayya herself hopes that her ex-daughter-in-law can come back with her second son because Bu Hayya knows that Aldair has changed and regrets everything.

But what to say, the human heart is not as big as the ocean. Maybe the mouth can apologize, but not necessarily the heart has been flinched.
