I knocked on David's room door. It was almost eleven in the afternoon not yet awake. Several times on tap there is no authorization, mother tried to open it.
David was sleeping in Luna's jacket. David accidentally brought it from the cafe, the jacket was left there.
Mom pulled the jacket and woke David by shaking his arm. David slowly opened his eyes.
"Why is this hour you're still sleeping?" ask Mother.
"I can't sleep at night, only dawn can this eye be closed" replied David.
"What are you thinking? Why can't you sleep?"
David got up from his sleep and sat leaning on the head of the bed. He looked at Mom intensely.
"Mom, why do I still ask what I think. Of course I was thinking about Luna and my baby-to-be."
"It's not necessarily Luna thinking of you."
Back David looked at the mother's face, he smiled obliquely in response to her mother's speech.
"Why don't you like Luna?"
"Why do you ask that? You know the answer."
"I and Luna are guilty of committing a sinful and forbidden relationship. However, I shouldn't judge Luna like this. My mistake is not to lose big to Luna."
"David, mom doesn't justify what you do either. You were wrong too. You and Luna better fix themselves for the mistakes you've made."
Mom took her breath. He did not want to be wrong in saying the word. David will get even more angry if he says something wrong about Luna.
"Maybe you're upset and angry with Mom right now. That's natural, because you must be assuming Luna's mother left."
David nodded his head in agreement to Mom's words. In his heart, David blamed Mother.
If only her mother had not said something that made Luna angry, she and Luna would have been enjoying a happy day while waiting for the birth of their child.
"Luna has decided to walk away from your life, and it's time you started living your own life."
"Mom just wants you to open a new page. Forget Luna. Regarding the child in Luna's womb, if indeed your biological child will one day he will look for you too."
"What do you want? ask David again.
"Mom wants you to stay married to Mia. You must know, if in our village it is very taboo to cancel the engagement. Poor Mia. It's nothing wrong."
"I don't love Mia!"
"Although at first you and Mia, there is no sense that refers to romantic things, but over time will grow feelings of love due to familiar things. Witing tresno jalaran soko kulino means more or less "love is present because it is accustomed."
David took a deep breath. He did not want emotions, afraid to hurt his mother. David looked at his mother inside.
"How long have I known Mia, Mom?"
"Have you not been able to live it all this time, but the presence of Luna makes you become worried."
"Why is mom so insistent on marrying me to Mia."
Mother was silent, she took David's hand and held it. Mom's gaze flashed somewhere.
"Mom owes a lot to Mia's mother." Mother was silent again without a sound.
"You must remember when the mother had kidney surgery. Both of the mother's kidneys were damaged and needed a donor. Mia's mother helped by donating one kidney."
David was shocked to hear his mother's words. So the one who helped her mother, was Mia's mother.
