Waiting At the End of Dusk

Mother confessions

Because Dicko's condition had improved, the doctor finally allowed Dicko to go home. Mala and Gala are very happy to be together again at home. Mala wants to take good care of Dicko as long as Dicko has not healed properly.

Meanwhile, Sri's mother tried to find time to tell her who Mala's parents really were. When Dicko and Gala had gone to sleep and the father had gone to sleep. Bu Sri asked Mala to accompany him to talk.

"Mala, there's something I want to tell you. A secret that I kept for almost 25 years" said Sri, who was still hesitant.

"What did you say? There's a secret to what Mom is, until she looks so anxious" Mala said, looking at her mother.

"When you promise me, don't you ever leave us, son?!" said Sri Bu looked sad.

Mala does not understand why her mother looks changed since meeting Bella.

"Why talk like that mom, Mala will never leave mom."

"Mala, your mom and dad aren't really your parents."

Mala was shocked and almost cried out in shock at the confession from her mother. What a surprise is this that can make Mala's heart beat fast.

"What Mom?! I'm not your real son?! Then who's my son, ma'am?" ask Mala in shock.

"This is the story of Mala" said Sri.

Bu Sri told from the beginning until finally Mala became their adopted child in the village. Mala listened to her mother's story with a sad and disappointed heart. If the story of his mother is true, it means he is a child who was never wanted by his family.

"Was it really a mother, then who and where were Mala's parents?" ask Mala curiously.

"Your mother named Shella, she's Bella's younger sister," replied Sri.

"What, my mom's Bella's sister?" mala was shocked.

"Yes, but now your mother's abroad. As for your father, no one knows of his whereabouts until now."

Mala was crying, either sad or happy crying. Because the feeling was mixed in his heart. Mala did not know whether to be happy or not when she suddenly found a reality she had never imagined before.

"Mala, forgive me for hiding everything from you. I don't want to lose you and Gala."

"Mala never blamed father and mother, even Mala was very grateful because you guys I can feel life like other children. No shortage of parental love."

"Mala, don't think too hard. At this time you are pregnant, do not affect the baby in your womb," said Ms. Sri worried.

"Mala knows ma'am. Mala hoped it was all a dream. Mala wants everything to be as it was and nothing will change" Mala said with a sigh.

"What do you mean Mala?" ask Sri's mother in wonder.

"Should have been, you didn't have to tell me about it. Let it all be a secret for the rest of your life. Why should I be an unexpected child?" yell Mala.

Ibu Sri was shocked to see Mala's reaction which seemed to hold back anger. He had just calmed down as if there were no burdens and accepted them. Bu Sri hugged Mala trying to calm the heart of Mala who was upset.

Mala's voice made Dicko shocked. He immediately searched for Mala's whereabouts. Mala was crying in the arms of her mother.

"What's up ma'am. What happened to Mala?" ask Dicko worried.

"Bring your wife to rest" the mother asked.

Mala lay with a chaotic mind, her eyes still wet with tears. Dicko increasingly could not stand to keep silent to see his wife's condition like that. Dicko approached his wife and went to lie down and hugged her from behind.

"Darling, if you have any difficulties, share with me. I can be an iron fence that will support you so you don't fall. I can be your loyal listener" Dicko said, whispering in his wife's ear.

"I can't tell you yet. Wait until I don't cry anymore" Mala replied stammering.

"Well, I'll just hold you until you can sleep and not cry anymore. Remember our baby dear," Dicko said, reminding Mala.

Mala just nodded slowly. Hugging her husband can make her feel safe and comfortable. His crying had already started to stop and drowsiness attacked him quickly.

Dicko took a deep breath seeing that his wife's condition had begun to improve. He also did not let go of his embrace until he himself fell asleep.

The dawn has begun to leave the night. Mala wakes up and finds herself still in her husband's arms. Mala smiled and tried to take off her husband's embrace slowly so that he would not wake up.

But still her husband squirmed and opened his eyes. Dicko smiled, seeing that Mala could smile again.

"What time? why are you awake?" dicko asked, hugging Mala.

"Jam 4 am. Just enter the dawn prayer time again," replied Mala just back hugged her husband.

"In a moment, baby, I miss your sweet smile."

Mala turned her body until right facing her husband's face. His heart was cold this morning.

"We're up now, you guys, you wanna take a shower. I took a shower first after me huh. We pray together yes," said Mala while taking off her husband's embrace.

"Darling, take a shower with you."

"Yes, I helped bathe you first. After that, I took a shower."

"Every boss" Dicko said happily.

After a few days in the hospital just wash his face and body, now he can ask his wife every day to help him take a bath. Maybe Dicko took advantage of the opportunity and it was better to further strengthen their relationship.

Mala did her duty with pleasure despite a bit of embarrassment. But it was not a problem to see her husband naked. Because this is not the first time Mala has seen parts of her husband's body that only she can see.

Dicko just smiled seeing his wife so fascinated to see his body. Sometimes he teases Mala to see Mala's shyness, which Dicko says is very cute.

After the bath, Mala helped Dicko change his clothes and prepare for prayer. And before Mala took a bath, Mala asked Dicko to wake Gala up to pray together.

Dicko headed to Gala's room and tried to wake the little man who was still sound asleep.

"Gala, wake up dear," Dicko said softly as he shook Gala's body slowly.

Aiaaa.

Gala just squirmed slowly and went back to sleep again. Dicko repeated this several times until Gala opened his eyes.

"Dad, Gala is still sleepy" said Gala, whose eyes were still closed.

"We pray at dawn, baby? Waiting for your mother you know," said Dicko while holding Gala who was still reluctant to wake up.
