You Are My Sunshine
The Part 118
"It's the sword, yeah."
Ratih put a cup of ginger wedang which still reflects hot steam on the table located in the garden behind the residence Aryasatya then sat side by side with Haris. After dinner the two old men liked to relax there the most.
"Mom, I need to talk to you about something. About our son." Haris opened the conversation after taking a sip of his coffee.
"Mother also wants to talk about Wira. This can't be allowed to drag on, even making me unable to sleep well. I can't think with the mind of Wira, why he married a girl like Dara," she complained still with a hard heart.
"What's wrong with Dara Bu? Dad noticed Dara was a good girl and also now she was pregnant with the seeds of the Hero. Our granddaughter, the successor of the Aryasatya family we have long been waiting for. Can't you wait to hold a grandchild?" his persuasion remained gentle even though his wife spoke in a stubborn tone.
"Mom wanted it so much Well, but why should that little one who carries our precious grandchild. Are there not many girls from among us who are equal to us to be wives? Mother is very sure that Dara who first seduced Wira and justify all means until finally Wira married her," her accusation remains in her stance.
"Mom, it's not good to accuse such a person, let alone Dara just an innocent girl. Do you not pity her who is just a kara now? as a woman who gives birth to a woman can't you feel and know? just look and look at your son well, he loves Dara very much and his eyes sparkle happily when he is with her," he said slightly emphasizing his last sentence because Ratih still did not soften.
"Dear." Haris still spoke in a low tone, because after all Ratih was a woman who had conceived and given birth to her son.
"Do the words of your comrades matter more than the happiness of your son? Is it wrong if they fall in love with each other? sometimes the sense of it comes and blossoms unintentionally to unexpected people regardless of status and caste. Maybe God did choose Dara to give birth to our family successor, think how funny it would be to be born a baby who has similarities with our son? did not just imagine it feels so happy," he persuaded Ratih.
Undeniably after hearing the words of her husband Ratih a little touched, just talking about it felt so happy, a tiny baby she coveted is now growing in the womb of Dara. However, when recalling the name of Dara her beautiful shadow immediately collapsed.
"Mother still can't accept all this. Mother will only accept and acknowledge the baby as part of our family, but not with Dara. Just no!"
Ratih got out of there leaving Haris and the old man exhaled a rough breath. But Haris will not give up, as a father the happiness of his son is always the main and there is still tomorrow to convince the mother of his son.
Haris prayed in his heart, may the Lord make it easy to soften his wife's hard heart like a rock.
