Becoming Like My Mother
CHAPTER 43

A few weeks later

Mina's vegetables heard someone like they were talking about her. Seeing his monthly needs dwindling, he decided to go shopping.

"That's Melati's mother, that actor right?" Say Mother A to her friend.

"Yes right, uh but what was that you said jeng? The actor?" Respond to Mother B who doesn't know anything.

"You missed the news. So that's the jasmine already called someone's husband. Even yes jeng he same guy ngelakuin rich husband and wife." Mother A told.

"WHAT?!," Mother B and C shut their mouths in surprise. Especially Mother B, she knows how Jasmine is. He is Mina's closest neighbor. He rarely goes out of the house, only for moments like this.

"But how is it possible" Mother B said in disbelief.

"What is impossible. I'm sure Melati will soon be bunting. Look at it," insisted Mother A sure.

"Truly a child today, ma'am. Their parents did not teach sin and its consequences, Mom. Ih horrified ah," Mother C's lips shuddered and deliberately raised her voice. The look in his eyes was cynical towards Mina.

Mina who heard him just sighed, calmly walking to the group of gossip spreaders.

"Sorry Mom, you know that my son's actions are sinful. Then with you spreading the news that you yourself do not know the truth you think that recorded your mouth the Angel Roqib or the Angel Atid?" Tanya Mina calmly and smiled.

Can Mina see the change in the look on her third face. They become misbehaved. Mina glanced at the watch in her hand, it had been quite a long time that she was in that place. Without caring for the three, he breezed by pushing the trolley towards the cashier.

***

Hoek hoek hoek, Melati really felt limp on her body. From last night, his stomach felt stirred. Want it to feel he took a break for a moment, but somehow because of what the state of his stomach makes him go back and forth to the bathroom.

Mina who really wanted to ask Melati for breakfast was shocked when she saw the pale state of Melati. He immediately approached the child.

"What's wrong with you?" Ask her to worry.

Jasmine raised her face and shook her head limp in response to her mother's question.

"Either ma'am, from last night my stomach was so bad. I'm so tired now. Want to rest but from then on nausea and vomiting continue." Bright Jasmine.

"You wait here, son, let me make you some warm tea first. All of you bring your breakfast, son." Mina felt her hands in strangulation as she moved out of her daughter's bed.

"No need Mom, I know Mom's very tired. Mother is also pregnant, pay attention to my sister. We're just together. Come on.." Bring Melati.

Mina just followed Melati's request.

"What's wrong with you, jasmine. You look very pale." Tegus Ikhsan was surprised to see his daughter.

Melati smiled thinly. "It's okay Dad." He sat down next to Hussein. While Mina he did not stop joining, first he made a warm ginger tea for Jasmine.

"Loh ma'am, who's hot ginger tea for?" Alif's forehead frowned seeing Mina bring him a cup of ginger tea.

"For Jasmine Sis." Mina answered by walking towards Melati.

"You sick, son?" Ikhsan looked at Melati worriedly.

"What?!" Ikhsan's mind was plagued by negative thoughts. He glanced at his wife. Mina who was stared at like that just sighed. What was on her mind was the same as her husband.

***

Doubtfully Mina entered Melati's room. In his hand was a test. Actually, it's very unpleasant to have to do this.

"Son.." The call was smooth, he saw his daughter who was focusing on her phone screen.

Jasmine raised her face and put on her beautiful smile. The mother dropped her body weight next to the child. Melati frowned when she saw Mina who looked nervous.

"Don't you ask me something, son?" Said carefully.

"Sure Mom why not." Reply Melati by still putting on a friendly face.

"Have you got a guest this month?" Doubts further.

Jasmine jerks, indeed if remembered this month he has not got his monthly guests. Even one Week late. He looked down. His mind drifted to the events he had experienced on his body lately. He stared at Mina's soft bead even glazed over.

Mina felt guilty.

"Is that the greatest possibility, ma'am?" Mumbled wailing.

The woman who was pregnant for three months quickly grabbed her body. Her tears also came to see her daughter.

Long enough Melati spilled her tears, inadvertently her manic was fixed on an object that was in Mina's grasp.

"I have to make sure of it immediately." He said to take the thing straight away.

"Sir-s"

"No, ma'am, didn't I bring this." Firmly and directly leave Mother, he continued who was fixated on the place before.

The tears that began to flow are now getting louder. Melati closed her mouth to find a line two in front of her. I don't know what trials he has to face right now. His voice was so sad for those who heard it. Mina, who had felt the pain of her daughter's heart, could only try to channel the power with a touch of affection.

Destroyed were all the dreams Melati had ever imagined. Why is fate so painful for him. I just want to catch up with your mother at this time. It was not enough that he lost his mother as a child. Even the happiness in his childhood had been forcibly taken away.

So what is with his life now. Losing his precious crown, being ostracized by society, and now he must accept a presence he never expected in his womb.

***

The news of Melati's pregnancy has reached the ears of the Faris family. Of course it surprised them. Mr. Faris' wife could only cry with all the facts. Indeed from the beginning of the marriage between Fahmi and Melati they have been thinking about.

Yet their hearts are still broken. On one side was a woman who had become their daughter-in-law, and on the other was a woman who had been destroyed by their son even the woman had contained the seeds of Fahmi flesh blood.

No woman wants to be combined, but also no woman whose honor must be forcibly snatched. If the marriage happens then it will certainly hurt Fahmi's first wife. But if not then Melati must bear the burden and shame for the rest of her life.

There was no other way but to marry their son to Ikhsan's daughter. Sasa as the first wife also gave her husband permission to remarry. As long as her husband promises to be fair she is sincere.

And there was a simple marriage and only attended by his second family. The dream of Melati who wants to be queen in her marriage must be buried deeply. The marriage he dreamed of for love should be buried deep. The marriage he wanted to show proudly to the people he had to bury deeply.
