Waiting At the End of Dusk

Meet the birth mother

Mala stared intently at the woman before her. The middle-aged woman who looked very beautiful and elegant. Mala's eyes began to glaze over.

Mother.murm Mala in heart.

The woman smiled and approached Mala who was starting to fidget.

"How many months are you pregnant?" his voice sounded very soft.

"Road 3 months," Mala replied nervously.

"You're very lucky to have a child. May I be the child you want."

"This is the second child" Mala said again.

"Both?! That means you have benefited 2 times" said the woman with a smile.

"You could say so. You're here to buy clothes too?" ask Mala.

"No. Introduce, my name is Shella. I'm the owner of this mall" Shella said as she reached out to Mala.

"Mala."

Mala was stunned to hear the name of Shella. It is true that she is her real mother. Mala welcomed her mother's hand with mixed feelings. While Shella behaved normally because she did not know about Mala.

Shella just felt, Mala was like her when she was young. His appearance and face were very similar to her. It reminded him of his son who had been missing since he was a baby. If you're older, it's Mala's age. If he could meet with aunt Sri, surely all the puzzles that kept haunting him all this time would be revealed.

Ms. Shella explains the various kinds of clothes for pregnant women. Various brands with their advantages and disadvantages are all explained to him. Ms. Shella hoped that Mala would be able to find comfortable pregnant clothes for her.

Mala did not listen to the explanation of Miss Shella, she was busy observing the movements and gestures of Miss Shella who looked very shrewd and good at talking.

Is it true that this woman in front of me is my real mother? Then how do I deal with it? She definitely doesn't know that I'm her real daughter.

"Mala, I actually don't really care about the tastes of buyers. But for some reason, I would love to give you the best choice" said Miss Shella, smiling.

"Oh, of course I feel very flattered by the reviews my mother gave me."

"Then please choose again which one you like, I will give you a special discount."

"Thank you, Miss Shella."

"I go first" said Ms. Shella and then walked away leaving Mala who was still watching Ms. Shella.

Mala eventually went on to choose some pregnant clothes and asked the aunt to pay at the cashier without asking for a discount from Miss Shella.

Until Mala gets home, she doesn't see Miss Shella in the mall. Maybe he was busy taking care of something else.

Since meeting her birth mother, Mala seemed restless and no longer focused on taking care of the house. Until Dicko came home from work and Mala just opened the door and kissed her husband's hand as usual without expression.

Dicko sees Mala's change and becomes confused. But he didn't want to ask too many questions because he had just come home from work and had to clean up before approaching his pregnant wife.

Dicko took a shower and immediately changed his clothes to ask Mala about what happened today. But Dicko still held back until bedtime arrived.

After putting Gala to sleep, Mala immediately returned to the room to rest. When she saw her husband was still not sleeping, Mala became awkward because she had fallen asleep while putting Gala to sleep.

"Mas Dicko hasn't slept?" mala asked nervously.

"I'm waiting for you?" answer Dicko.

"no need. Nothing else matters. Just want to get closer to my son-in-law" Dicko replied.

"Yes, I'll be with Dicko soon. But I want to grab a drink first" Mala said as she stepped towards the door again.

"Wait baby. Let me get it for you. You must be tired all day."

Dicko quickly got out of bed and rushed out of the room to fetch some drinking water. After recovering from his illness, Dicko had intended to be a good husband and made Mala feel that he would always be there and ready whenever Mala needed him.

Mala smiled at Dicko's attitude of wanting to pamper him. He then rushed up to the bed and leaned there. His eyes were no longer sleepy after he had fallen asleep in Gala's room.

Not long after, Dicko came with a pot of water and an empty glass.

"Mala, I brought not just a glass. But one teapot I brought for you. So later if you want to drink, there is no need to go far outside the room" Dicko said, showing what was in his hand.

"Yes, mas. And you can also drink, too" Mala replied with a smile.

Dicko put the drink he was carrying on the table. Then he poured a glass of water for the wife who was waiting for him. Dicko gave water to Mala who was still smiling at Dicko's attitude.

"Thank you, baby."

"Try again?"

"Mas, honey," said Mala.

"Well that's right, baby. Although we will already have 2 children, but we also include a newlywed couple right? So it's okay to call it 'honey'."

Dicko then leaned on the bed next to his wife.

"Darling, there's something I want to tell you" Dicko said softly.

"Just tell me, why does Dicko look shy?" ask Mala.

"Look, baby, I've seen since you got home from work you look weird. I mean, it looks like something's happened to you. May I know what it is?" dicko asked trying not to offend Mala.

"Yes mas. This morning, Bella's mom came. Gave me an album about my real mother. He also asked me to call him aunty," Mala said halted for a moment.

"But he didn't hurt you, did he?" ask Dicko worried.

"No mas. He even apologized for what he did to me. Because now I'm his nephew. And in the afternoon, when my aunt and I were shopping at the mall, I met my real mother. But he doesn't recognize me at all."

"Then how are you? You didn't say anything about you to her?"

"No mas. I'm still not ready to have another family besides my mom and dad in the village."

"May I see your real mother's face? Who knows I met him but didn't recognize him."

Mala sat down and took a photo album from her desk drawer. Then he gave the album to Dicko

Dicko opens sheet by sheet a photo album of Mala's birth mother. Actually, he was also looking for a photo of Mala's biological father, which surely after meeting his biological mother, would also meet his biological father.

It's possible that the photo of Mala's biological father won't be on the album because their families don't agree with their relationship. Though already pregnant but their parents still separate the lovers.

Hopefully all that will not affect the condition of Mala who is pregnant. That's Dicko's hope right now.
