The Woman Behind The Scenes

Chapter 52 - The Demands of a Mother

Still about Anna, it turns out that Haris' girlfriend is indeed sick. Surprisingly, Haris did not tell Tomi at all, and Dara. It had been 3 weeks and Anna was drowning, and her body began to take care of her. Not as usual, WhatsApp messages from Dara also did not reply. His condition must have been very weak, thought Dara.

On that day, they made their way to her in-laws' house, and Dara was eager to arrive quickly to see Anna.

From a distance, the house looks so messy on the terrace scattered large boxes with the name of a university where Tomi's mother teaches. The woman is still working at her advanced age.

The crane! Dara's phone rang. He answered a call from his mother and smiled.

“From. Mama see you have a shop now. The spirit is yes, Ra.” her mother's voice sounds so excited, and Dara feels overwhelmed to learn that her mother follows her every Instagram post.

“Iya, mom. Blessing of mother's prayer. Healthy mom?”

“Health. We are all healthy. Ye? How is there motor sound?”

“Iya ma. I'm healthy, kids too. It's me on foot, mama. Just got off travel. A little more until the house of in-laws.”

“Ya. Later in the afternoon mama phone again yes, Ra.”

The phone conversation was over right after Dara got in front of the fence. Tomi who was carrying Kio, had already gotten there first.

The door to the living room opened, and Tami was seen coming out smiling at a glance until she saw Kio and Kayla.

“Aunty children. Come here log in!” he led his two nephews in, regardless of Tomi and Dara.

“Where's the name, Tam?” ask Tomi to her sister.

“Inside. Again bete.” The answer is half annoyed. Dara shrugged her shoulders while looking at Tomi. Both questioned what caused no such warm welcome.

“Mama.” Said Dara while kissing the back of her in-laws' hands that seemed to be in a bad mood. The woman was lying in her room, holding a TV remote with a koyo attached to both sides of her forehead.

“What's up, mama?” Tomi who just entered directly asked his mother. Dara had never seen his upset face. Seeing it this time made it unpleasant, let alone they had just been from a long trip.

“Your sister didn't come home at all. Husband girlfriend massage continues.” Said his mother in a very upset tone.

“Calon wife? Tom's. This is Haris again, ask mama to marry Anna next week. Want to put where my mama's face is?”

Dara started to seriously listen to the conversation. He was eager to know the obstacles in his father-in-law so as not to allow Haris to marry.

“They've been dating for a long time, Mah. It's not fair to dong for Anna.”

“If she wants a girl, a lot of it's sorority mama. Much more educated, much more polite. Women like to smoke so, what to expect?” replied his mother with a high tone. Uh! Apparently due to her smoking habit, Anna was not acceptable to Haris' mother.

“What pain is it, Mah?” Dara asked herself.

“Ordinary pain at best, hot fever. He is the spoiled one. Remember that, Tom. Between the couple or the mother, you must first meet the mother. Look at this, mom has a headache too. She's even doing well there.” The more upset his tone of speech, and this time what he said surprised Dara. His mother's opinion was flat-beat, meaning that someday applies to him as well.

Dara came out of her in-laws room, alibi to check on her children. He took the phone to send a message to Haris. As a person who had been so much helped by Anna's energy, he had to check the condition of the woman.

Dara: [Anna is sick, Har? ]

He waited long enough, until finally a reply to a message from Haaris with a photo. Anna is drowning in the hospital.

[In the hospital? I thought I was home? ]

Haris: [Yes, brother. It's hard to breathe anymore. So yes, here first ]

Dara becomes aware of why Haris has not been home for weeks. Anna looked very thin, almost just a bone wrapped in skin. In addition, he was seen wearing a breathing apparatus. It turned out that his in-laws did not know the condition of the woman.

Dara: [Wish you get well soon, yeah. Don't forget to eat, Ris. ]

Haris: [Please pray, brother. ]

Dara looked again at the picture of Anna, and had time to daydream, until the sound of the car horn surprised her ...
