Woman Without Womb
Chapter 98 - What Maudy Wants

Ting ... Tongs ...

Maudy got out of her bed and approached the door of her apartment unit. He opened the door and was very surprised to see Nadya as the mother of Salma who stood there. “Eh? Please come in,” exclaimed Maudy opened the door wider.

They entered without saying anything more.

Mother Salma looked around the apartment and looked back at Maudy who had gone to the kitchen area to bring drinks for them.

“What's wrong with Nadia here?” maudy asked and put the orange ice on the table. “I miss very much you guys,” he said again trying to melt the awkward atmosphere instead of playing.

“Nak .. sorryin mother,” exclaimed mother Salma in the end while approaching Maudy. He sat down next to his son and held his son's hand. “Mother has thought everything over from the beginning and admitted to being wrong with you. Mother is really sorry for you. Mother regrets. Years have traumatized you, years have hurt you and it must not be easy for you to forget our actions? But mommy's really sorry about you.”

“Bun?”

“Mother caliph nak... mother is wrong, mother compares you to Nadia just because you do not like your grandmother who defends you more. But you should realize that this is not your fault at all. But, why do you even blame you?”

Maudy, who had never seen her mother, was crying and hugging her.

“Mother wrong son .. Mother does not matter if you want to law how. Mother will not be angry if you want to tell everyone about the bad mother or you want to imprison the mother. Mother is not the same problem as you. Mother apologizes. Mother will do everything for you. Mother will not be angry, mother will be silent as long as you get sorry.”

Maudy lifted up her mother who was willing to prostrate at his feet. He shook.

“Bun .. I'm sorry, I can't possibly hate the same people who gave birth to me in this world. Am I a twin, is it not easy to get me out? Mother has risked her life for me. So you don't have to do all that. I'm really sorry mom.”

“Nak .. it feels like you can't get sorry you are that easy. Even make it here aja .. it feels mother shame. Mother is ashamed of you.”

“Nda. Yes already. I'm even sad that mother kayak gini. I don't want to spend that time anymore. Enough already. Instead of us wanting sad things, we lighten up everything and start to move in a new direction. We continue our lives without thinking about the past again.”

Mother Salma bowed.

“Thank you son .. Mother who is a sinner like this even got an apology from you this easily. thanks son because you already have this slap heart.”

“Sama-sama mother ..”

Maudy turned and looked at Nadia who had just looked down. No more nadia's face is song, no more whispers that come out of the mouth of her twin sister, he said, there was no more cynical and angry glare on him and no more rude swearing was shown to him.

Everything is completely different.

His sister looked very silent with a sad face.

“Nadia?” call Maudy slowly

“Hua .. big brother, I'm sorry,” cried Nadia and cried. She threw her body into the arms of her brother and continued to cry. “Kakak .. I'm sober, daddynya mas Farhan who has made me realize that all this action I have been very evil with brother and now I have realized that I have gone too far to mgejahatin brother.”

Maudy rubbed the back of her sister who was still talking with a stumbling block.

“I ... I've been the worst person so far. I'm brother-in-law, who should understand how big brother feels. I should have known how big brother was all along. From feeling broken, sad, lost, but I enjoyed everything and was not aware of it at all. I'm really sorry brother and sister. I've been a bad sister to brother. I am like someone who is not taught. I'm so mean to you, brother.”

“Nadia ... yak already, don't cry anymore.”

“No can brother .. if I take all the crimes I'm the same brother. I feel like I'm a sinner, I'm not a good sister to you. Same as mother. I'm sorry and if you can forgive me for all my actions. I promise I'll do whatever you want. I promise sister ..”

“Dek .. brother doesn't need everything.”

Maudy took off her arms and cupped her sister's face, wiping away the tears that kept coming down. “Kakak just need you doang, brother need sister brother back to the side of brother with improved nature. I just need your mother here. I don't want to stay alone like this anymore.”

“I'm lonely ..”

And they were all together crying in the living room. Let go of all the sadness that enveloped them. They really let out all the sadness that just kept shackling it.

“Jadi ... all this time you stayed here?” ask Mother Salma while opening the contents of the refrigerator. “This is what mother worried about earlier. You definitely don't live well here, do you?”

“The name also lives alone, bun,” Maudy replied while designing the blouse he wanted to sew it. “So .. yes if it is males, surely I never eat. Fill the refrigerator is also rare, mending buy online aja.”

“Yes .. later if you want to stay at home again, mother promises will masakin healthy food for you. Mommy will make your favorite food!” mother Salma's promise. “But ... if you do not want to stay together because it is far from your workplace and choose to stay here, then every week the mother will come and bring food for you.”

“Siap ... I still think,” Maudy replied. “But ... Whatever I choose, mother can not be angry yes.”

“Iya son, it's up to you.”

“Kak!” call Nadia and jump beside Maudy. “What are you doing again? I saw my sister's room was also a lot of piles of cloth?” ask Nadia.

Maudypun tells of his work on this one. until Mother Salma approached and shook her head little, feeling this child is very great. So did Nadia who clapped her hands like a child.

“Kakak in living alone like gini aja can be productive yes,” exclaimed Nadia. “Try me .. At most it's just whining, because it doesn't know what to do. brother cool deh. Teach me also dong sak, I also have to earn money. Let my son grow up well because of my own results, not others.”

“Ah Yes .. big brother want to meet your child,” exciting Maudy while pouting. “Definitely funny huh? why don't you take it now? Though brother peng really met with him.”

“Duh .. sorry, brother, my son, I entrust the same servant I trusted. I did not bring him, because I felt that the atmosphere would not be conducive here. That's why I don't dare to take him and also .. I'm afraid that he's crying that way, if ngedenger we're angry and keep yelling. But ... It turns out all that was just my fear. Turns out brother can still receive us well.”

Maudy's outstretched hand flicked Nadia's forehead making the child frown a little.

“Unfortunately you think big brother is like that.”

“Ya will take me to doang.”

“Iya deh .. It's up to you aja.” Maudy took a deep breath. “But ... sometime bring your child here. Brother wants to see him.”

“Sure brother! I must have brought him here, I also want to tell my son that he has a super cool aunt and I want my son to be a big brother. Let him model your good attitude. The big brother is awesome and no one can want to at all.”

Ting ... Tongs ...

“AH ... The food is coming,” said Maudy standing up. “I'm asking you to make a plate dong. I'll pay for the meal first.”

Maudy picked up some money in her wallet and opened the apartment door. He paid and thanked me. But his hands did not close. His gaze stopped on the now deserted Hermawan apartment unit.

Since that night, it was he who drove Hermawan out. Maudy never knew where she was. He also never met a woman who slandered him. A little happy, but he was also sad.

“Hopefully you didn't take heart of my talk that night. I didn't mean to say that. I love you too, but it seems like fate is not on our side. Sorry yes Hermawan .. sorry, and may you be happy with your own choice.”

“Kak?” the touch on Maudy's back made her flinch.

“Hmm?” maudy asked trying to look okay. He closed the door of the apartment and saw Nadia. “Why?”

“There's something?” nadia asked carefully.

“Ah ... no, yuk already. We go in, we eat first ..”

***

Nadia's been home from last night, because she can't just leave her son. But mother Salma still lives here, for the sake of naming her son. All of them disappear longing after a few years they look like enemies even though they still have blood relations with each other.

“Bun .. Mother really is okay if I stay so?” maudy asked while looking worriedly.

He packed his briefcase and walked out. “Mother is alone here, I'm really worried. Mending I call a taxi yes, so that mother can go to Nadia's place. It's not as if I wouldn't be that worried if I saw my mother with Nadya.”

“Mother is fine, son .. Mother wants to tidy this house all ready for the food that is worthy of you. Wait until you get home from work. New mama go home from your appointment on the weekend later must come to home.”

“Iya mother.”

Maudy reached into his bag and took out five pieces of red money. “Nih there is little sustenance for mother.”

“Eh .. don't need to nak.”

Maudy refused the money back, “all to buy my needs in the kitchen bun. Do not use money mother.”

“Oh .. yes already, mother accept yes money.”

Maudy nodded.

He crucified the arms of Our Lady of Salma and hugged her before leaving for work. He got downstairs and stopped the taxi, to take her to the company office where he worked.

During the trip he just daydreamed while staring blankly at the crowded streets. Sometimes he takes a deep breath.

“Everything is over, my wish is granted. But ... There should be a Hermawan by my side, let's know everything. He always defended me. He should know my current condition. He should be the first person to join the art for the happiness I get.”

Suddenly Maudy's phone rang. He saw his friend call.

“Iya Rania? Wh why? I'm going back to the office again. So, no need to ask again,” explained Maudy without asking.

/Ih not .. I nitip the slurry at the junction of the road ahead dong. My magh is like a relapse and must eat first before taking the drug. And it's just puree that can get into my stomach. So I nitip the porridge at the junction dong. You haven't fucked up yet./

Maudy patted the taxi driver and the car slowly pulled over.

“My bag is here, yes I already boughtin.” Maudy switched on the taxi driver after hanging up the phone call. “Here aja pack.”

He paid before he got out.

Maudy stared at the bustling morning streets. He looked to the left before actually crossing. Maudy ordered the porridge in Rania's ink. Not to forget Maudy also deliberately bought a morning snack to accompany him during work.

“Fifteen thousand, neng.”

“This sir, thank you.”

Maudy put it all together and put it in the tote bag that he always carries it to reduce the plastic waste. He crossed back and traced the sidewalk that was soon to arrive at his office.

Maudy continued to hum until her gaze began to explore across the street. Suddenly his steps stopped.

“Pharmore?”

He saw Hermawan embracing the woman who slapped him. Looks very friendly, no. .. the woman who embraces Hermawan and the face of the man who looks very forced.

Maudy was silent for a moment, until Hermawan's eyes also glanced at her.

The man did not show any change in expression other than turning his eyes back and they continued to walk through him. Makes Maudy's heart melt. He turned his head and the two people really did not care about his existence.

They keep on going.

Leaving Maudy with a gaping wound.

“Hermawan ... Why did he do me kayak earlier? Why doesn't he cry or just smile at me?” mumbled Maudy still saw the back of Hermawan who was getting away. “Why is he acting like a kayak who doesn't know me?” he said again with a voice that was getting louder.

Maudy swallowed saliva.

“But ... what am I harepin? Isn't this what I asked Hermawan for? Act as if nothing happened and if you can assume they do not know each other. I even kicked him out, right? So ... I was wrong.”

Maudy clenched her hands, “for which I am a fool ..”
