"I met my mom."
Keara. "Ma-ma?" I repeat half in disbelief.
Harris was weak. "The old woman who walked with you out of the restroom was my mama, K."
"W-what??" Keara cringing. He was surprised not to play. Destiny is so random, right..? The stranger she met by accident, turned out to be the woman who had given birth to her husband? Yang's mother-in-law has never known him, even know what he looks like?
"Astaghfirullah.. I'm sorry mas, I.." said Keara disconnected. He was confused as to what to say. Gotta respond to what.? The news he had just heard felt like an impossible thing. How not? Keara almost forgot that she had an in-law. Because ever since he married Harris, they've never talked about Harris' parents again. Too painful to tell.
"You don't have to apologize, dear." - Harris. Her fingers gently caressed Keara's cheeks. Even under these circumstances he still shows his love language phisycal touch. Spoiling his beloved wife with a gentle touch.
Keara understands now. Totally understand. About the change in attitude of Harris. How the wound in the husband's heart still feels so painful. Keara couldn't even imagine, if she was in that position. What's he gonna do? His attitude could be worse than that of Harris right now. Ah, naw.. Keara did not dare to dream.
"See, baby.." Harris took a long breath. "What is he doing here.. He and his family should be away from this town."
Yes, Keara remembers. The old mother said all this time she and her family lived in Kalimantan. I don't know which side of Borneo. They're here for his son-in-law's work.
"I don't know what to do, K.." continued Harris, smiling bitterly.
Keara silence. Don't know what to say. She just opened her arms wide, then grabbed her husband's stocky body. Keeping the big man seemed to support the attitude of the husband.
"Darling, I can't say anything.. My husband is very strong and strong. If I was in your position, I might have behaved worse.. But Harris didn't." said keara with a soft hand rubbed Harris' back. He's not lying. If he became mas Harris, it is certain that Keara will poke at the restaurant earlier while cursing the old mother and her family.
It was good for them to eat and to spend the whole family happily. Without feeling the slightest guilt for abandoning a 12-year-old child who is none other than his own flesh and blood. His own biological son. Didn't think..
"Engga, K.. I was being bad to you too. I must have made you confused and sad.. I'm sorry." said Harris softly.
Keara shakes.
"My wife who craves this is also so canceled eating pizza.. Hopefully the twins will be ileran.. Because the cravings of his mother are not obedience." kelakar mas Harris tried to melt the atmosphere.
"Thong dong, baby.. I ate three slices of pizza. Hehee.. It can't be booby, so I'm laper.."
"Can it be booby?" Harris took off his arms to look at his wife's face. "My love can't be booby because it's not hugged by her handsome husband, hm?"
Keara nodded while pouting spoiled. Harris led his wife's body to lie down with him. Hugging and holding the pregnant woman even by giving a little distance in the abdomen for fear of her baby feeling tight. Trying to channel sincere strength and warmth.
Keara felt helpless. She felt that there was nothing she could do to help her husband. In fact, when viewed back, her husband can always help, protect, and improve his life. It made Keara sad.
His relationship with Harris was very bad. From the beginning, Keara realized that. Harris is smart, rich, educated, and has everything but family. While Keara? Only family he had. It was also with his father who had disturbed his life.
"What will Harris do after this? Do you want to see Mama Harris?" ask Keara. After making sure her husband was still awake.
Harris slowly tightened his embrace. His head shook to answer Keara's question.
Keara rubbed the chest of her field of men. The chest is always the most comfortable and warm place to lean. "Ga needs to be answered if you're not ready.."
"Engga darling.. There's nothing to think about. I'm not going to find that woman. What's it doing anyway, K?" answer Harris. Netraannya glare somewhere. It definitely aggravated the man's heartbreak.
"Make it mean, baby." said Keara. His tone slightly heightened restraining emotions. "Maybe you twenty years ago didn't have the strength to be angry. But now you have. And you deserve to be angry."
Harris smiled wryly. "Enger is no use anymore, dear..."
"At least your mama knows you exist.. This handsome boy had already gone through a very long difficult time.. He was abandoned during the worst of times.. But now he can grow up well and be a very wonderful man.."
Harris smiled again. This time a smile haru with sparkling netra looked at his beloved wife. "It doesn't matter if you think I exist or not, K.. What matters is that my dear wife thinks I'm amazing."
Keara. Of course just pretending. Because right now the net is glazed. As much as possible to hold the clear circles that have gathered in the eye so as not to shed wet his face.
Harris cupped Keara's cheek. Gently wrap it. "Did you forget, honey..? Your wonderful husband is quite famous in this country. Once rumored to be the girlfriend of the artist, had appeared several times on television gossip shows, my past was never explored by the media until I had to appear on television for clarification, not to mention appearing in business magazines, not to mention appearing in business magazines, youtube channel entrepreneur and podcasts of motivation and inspiration.."
"Your husband's handsome face is everywhere.. It's impossible if my mom doesn't know I exist. I never changed my name. But look. mama has no intention of coming to me. So what am I meeting him for?"
Keara could not hold it anymore. Her crying broke
"Sorry, I really want to help ease your burden.. But there's nothing I can do.."
"What are you, my dear? Your presence in my life has greatly lightened my burden. I can't imagine my life without you, K.. It'll be heavy. You gave me immeasurable happiness.."
Keara's crying broke. His tears flowed down the river. I don't know why he's emotional. Keara simply closed her eyes so as not to add to Harris' burden of crying. He was trying to get to sleep because it was still midnight.
'But.. Can I really do nothing? Reluctant.. I should be able to.' Inner Keara. Keara felt like she didn't want to be quiet. She felt she needed to do something to help her husband. Butwhat? What could he do?
...****************...
Sayup-sayup sounding adzan shubuh reverberating. Keara opened her net and found her husband still asleep. The subtle snoring sound of his man caught Keara's sense of hearing. Marking that Harris is still soundly dream-covered.
K picked up the phone lying on the nightstand next to the bed. He dialed the phone number from Harris's phone. Someone Keara thought could help her.
"It's me. Keara." said Keara as soon as the person across the line answered her call. He was sure, the person must be confused to receive a call from Keara. Wife of his boss. Something new was first done by Keara during her marriage to Harris.
"There's something I have to do. And there is no need to report it to Harris mas." continued Keara straightforwardas.
"Where? Mas Bara can help me, right?"
