The Second Wife
Decisions

Ms. Rahma sighed slowly then she improved her sitting position to be more comfortable then she started talking to Salma.

"Mother did know papa and her mother Revelation first. long before she met your late father.." explained Ms. Rahma.

"I mean mother?"

"First Adi's mother and sir had been in a relationship but was opposed by both parents of Adi sir because of our different status... moreover, the mother is only an orphan who was raised by her maternal grandmother until she was 17 years old because then she died of illness." continued Ms. Rahma.

"Even so, Adi still maintains our relationship because we love each other and plan to get married soon... knowing that both parents of Adi framed their own son as if they had slept with the woman they had betrothed to Mr. Adi and sent their indecent photos to the mother... at that time the mother had believed that Mr. Adi was right to sleep with the woman but the truth was finally revealed and proven if they never did anything... but seeing the actions of both parents, Adi, who trapped their own son, made the mother realize that maybe we should not be together... therefore the mother decided to leave Mr. Adi and told him to marry the woman of choice of both parents" said Rahma continued her story.

"So.mama mas Wahyu it..."

"Yes she's the woman who was betrothed by Adi's parents and set him up..."

"Do you still love Mr. Adi?" ask Salma who surprised Rahma.

"At this time the mother does not think of such a thing dear.all the mother thinks of is the happiness of the children of the mother." said Rahma with a smile and grasping Salma's hand.

"Mother... if what happened to my mother happened to me too.. What should I do? do I also have to leave Revelation like my mother left Adi?" salma asked in a soft voice.

Ms. Rahma knew her daughter was worried...

"Mom can't say it, son, because all the decisions are in your hands to decide" Rahma said.

"As you said before, a marriage is not only between two people but also two families.and if you still do not give your blessing then..."

"Mom knows what you're worried about, dear.., but if you take the decision to leave Revelation can you guarantee that the Revelation will be happy? and what woman who is betrothed to Revelation can really love her sincerely?"

"I do not know the mother.I know at this time I love the Revelation and I want her to be happy either with me or not.." said Salma lirih.

Rahma hugged her daughter tightly. He knows Salma is open to the type of selfish woman he is more often willing to sacrifice than to hurt others. Although not necessarily people appreciate the sacrifice.

"Salma. I think maybe this is the time you really have to be selfish for your happiness and also Revelation." said Mama Gentle.

"I mean mother?"

"I mean mother.it would not hurt if you stay with the Revelation. because right now there are Adi sir who will support and protect you... and do not forget that your mother and sisters will always be behind you to support all your decisions." explained Rahma.

"Mother.." said Salma, hugging her mother tightly.

She was so lucky that her mother was always there for her. As a mother, Rahma never distinguished her affection for all her daughters. But now because only Salma is still unmarried he becomes more attentive because only Salma is still in his responsibility as a parent. His two siblings are the responsibility of their husbands. However, he never forgot to pay attention to Shania and Sakina especially asking about their situation every day even though only by phone.

The mother and son hugged each other until they did not realize that there had been a Revelation standing in front of the Salma treatment room and listening to all the conversations of the mother and child.

"So from the beginning my mother had been cheating to get papa... but why after getting it my mother even cheated on me to give birth to me into the world? if the goal is only to bind papa why does he not try to get offspring from papa instead of by cheating?" inner Revelation.

The thought of Revelation is so chaotic that he does not realize that Mr. Adi is behind him. The light pat on his shoulder made the Revelation come to a realization from his daydream. When he turned his head, Adi was smiling at him softly.

"Follow papa a minute!" said Mr. Adi then walked towards the hospital park.

Revelation also follows the steps of Mr. Adi and both of them sit on the bench that is there.

"Do you know anything about your past and Rahma's?" ask Mr. Adi.

"I. yes. pa.." says Revelation.

Really he felt bad knowing his papa with his future mother-in-law. What else now he knows if his mother turned out not to be a good woman.he increasingly felt guilty because of the actions of his mother Rahma and Pak Adi so separated.

"Papa know what you think... because everything that has happened is destiny again papa even feel grateful because in the end papa also feel happy because you are dating Salma daughter of a very good woman and once fill your heart, so don't let anyone separate you two. Don't be like you..." said Pak Adi who immediately made Revelation hug the man who had been raising him all along.

"Pa. I already know that papa is not my biological father." said Revelation when the two had released his embrace.

Deggs....

Pak Adi looked at Revelation with a shocked face.

"Where do you know?"

"I overheard my mom and dad fighting..."

"That's..."

"I know papa couldn't have spoken at that time before papa had proof. so I beg you to be honest with me..."

"Yes Revelation. everything you hear is true.. even papa has done the test to prove it. forgive papa did not tell you while doing it.." said Pak Adi.

"Where do you know?"

"From your own mother's mouth without realizing it. and at that time Gita also heard it.." said Mr. Adi.

"So the Gita knows?"

"Yes.we both also did tests together and it turns out that only you are not a child papa. previously Gita even looks frustrated when knowing you are a biological child papa... he was afraid if he was also not a child papa" said Mr. Adi remember his daughter's face when he first found out his mother was having an affair...

"You know, son, despite the fact that you're not your biological son, but your affection will never change..."

"Lad..."

"Here you go. This problem you need not think about anymore. let's go all the way as usual...."

"Papa... isn't papa angry with mama?"

"angry? of course. but papa tried to give your mom another chance to change... then don't blame me if you choose to part with him..."

"I understand pa.." said the Revelation.

The two men then decided to return to Salma's treatment room. There, Salma was persuaded by her mother to eat the food provided by the hospital.

"Come on Ma. Eat a little so you can take your medicine and get well soon..."

"But ma'am... Salma is full.. soon enough yes.." whine Salma as a child.

"You don't be stubborn... or do you want to feed your mother this hem?"

"It's not so. I just..."

"Just want me to bribe you?" cut the Revelation suddenly with a smile and approach the mother and child followed by Mr. Adi.

"Mas.." said Salma was surprised to see the presence of Revelation and Adi sir.

So does Rahma's mother who did not expect if Adi sir also came with Revelation.

"Then let me feed you here." said the Revelation while taking a plate containing Salma's food.

Madam Rahma shifted to let Revelation sit next to Salma's gurney.

"There is no need for mas. I can eat alone." said Salma while trying to take the plate held by the Revelation.

"No. let me take the bribe." said Wahyu keukeuh.

"But mas.." reject Salma with a red face embarrassed because there was Adi sir and Rahma ma'am there.

Adi and Rahm only smiled at the behavior of the two lovers. The two then chose to leave Revelation and Salma and go out of the room.

"Come now you eat! isn't there no one anymore?" tell Revelation while offering rice in a spoon in front of Salma's mouth.

"Come aaa.." she continued.

Inevitably Salma also obeyed the commandment of Revelation. The woman opened her mouth and took a bribe from Revelation and began to eat it. Salma chewed her food while looking at the face of Revelation. In his heart he thought of his mother's words. Is it true that right now he can be selfish to stay with the Revelation of the man he loves and also loves him?

His mother's experience gave him an example that not all sacrifices would get the results as expected. The proof is in the end Pak Adi still betrayed wife who betrothed his family even to give birth to Revelation. Can he be selfish now?

"What are you thinking?" ask the revelation suddenly.

"I just thought if you wanted to marry me now I'd take it mas" Salma said.

The smile of Revelation instantly expanded. He put the plate he held and placed it on the nightstand. After that, he immediately hugged Salma and kissed her face.

"Thank you, Salma, from this moment on I promise to always look after and make you happy." said Wahyu.

Salma nodded happily. Revelation drew her face closer to Salma and began to kiss her lips gently. After a while the two lulled together until the two let go of each other out of breath.

"I will take care of everything, so when you get out of here we will get married immediately" said Revelation while stroking Salma's lips wet by his actions.

Salma simply smiled and hugged the body of Revelation tightly. Eventually he will marry the person he truly loves and also loves him.
