Against Restu
MR Chapter 10: Karma?

Not wanting to fight, Papa Ken would rather just leave. Seeing her husband who actually left without saying a word, made Mama Dira immediately follow him. However, her steps came to a halt as Anne blocked her hand.

" Where is your mom going?" anne asked with a sad face. Right now, he felt as if he was being ignored by his parents.

Seeing the sad face of her daughter, made Mama Dira feel pity, then cupped Anne's face. " Mommy wants to talk to Papa with four eyes. So, you just wait here. Mama promised to help talk to Papa to let you take the invitation to the exchange, ", explained Mama Dira who immediately made Anne's face shine again. It was as if there was a glimmer of hope for him to realize a dream he had long dreamed of.

" Thank you, Ma, " said Anne as she hugged Mama Dira. Anne felt grateful because now there is Mama Dira who replaced Oma Carol to always realize her wishes.

" Yes, honey. Mama will help as much as possible to make Mama's daughter happy, but you don't expect more. Fears ... " Mama Dira could not continue her words, afraid that it would make Anne sad again. However, Anne who already understood could only nod her head.

Although the odds are small, considering how stubborn Papa ken is. Anne still remains hopeful that this time her father will agree if she studies abroad for several months.

After that, Mama Dira went to see Papa Ken.

"Oh my God, may this time Mama succeed in persuading Papa so that I can study abroad, Amen."Anne prayed in her heart, then rubbed her face.

...☘️☘️☘️...

Inside the room, Papa Ken was standing on the balcony enjoying the wind blowing on his face.

Mama Dira breathed her long breath first, before walking over to her husband.

" Is it colder?" mama Dira Syndir.

" You mean, Mama?" asked Papa Ken who was confused by his wife's intentions.

" Yes, that's ... Is Papa's brain cold? It was hot!" ketus Mama Dira's.

" Oh ..," Papa Ken rolled his eyes off guard. Then, look back at the view of the back garden.

After that, there was only silence between the two as they both enjoyed the gust of wind. Blowing wind, as if able to make the hot atmosphere in the heart become cold and more relaxed.

" Mas ..," called Mama Dira while looking at her husband's face that was still closing his eyes.

" Em" replied Papa Ken briefly, without opening his eyes.

" Why did you never allow Anne to go to school abroad? Isn't it great to add insight and experience?"

Papa Ken opened his eyes, then glanced at his wife." Does it add insight and experience have to be abroad? No, right? " Don't answer Papa Ken just ask back.

" Yes ... But, Kan___" said Mama Dira stopped when Papa Ken gripped his shoulders.

" Dear, you know enough that Mas did all this for Anne's sake. I'm just___" Papa Ken lowered his head, he seemed unable to say it.

Actually, this is also very heavy for Papa Ken. If I may be honest, he also wants to always be able to obey all the wishes of his only daughter, let alone he is able and able to fulfill it. But, there was so much fear and doubt in his heart. The feeling was like a big stone that kept on piercing his heart until it sometimes made him feel claustrophobic.

" Just what, Mom?" ask Mama Dira who is getting curious. Especially when seeing the change in the look of Papa Ken's face, it makes Mama Dira feel like something is hidden by her husband.

" Once, Mas's decision has been unanimous and do not discuss this again. " Papa Ken is trying to leave again. However, Mama Dira immediately banned her husband. This time, she should know what the reason of her husband was.

" If Mas keeps acting like this, don't blame me for taking Anne away" threatened Mama Dira. Then go to walk in closet to pack things.

" dear .... " Papa Ken tried to follow in Mama Dira's footsteps.

" Dear .. You don't be like this" said Papa Ken.

" Let's say, who told you to be selfish! "mama Dira's mother put the clothes in the suitcase.

" dear ... I did it all out of fear that Anne would have received my karma in the past!" papa Ken's toilet was finally released as well.

Papa Ken also returned his wife's embrace tightly as if he also needed a backrest. During this time, Papa Ken always harbored this feeling of fear himself, without telling anyone.

Upon learning that his third child was a woman, Papa Ken really felt that his responsibilities would be even greater. All this time, his overprotective attitude, just wanted to keep Anne. He always hoped and prayed that his daughter would not bear his karma in the past. Remembering how his life used to be.

Where, he had impregnated the wife of the person to the point of making him accused of cheating. In fact, she did not know that the woman was carrying her child so she gave birth, and took care of her twin sons. Without a husband and family beside her. That incident, really imprinted in his heart and mind.

"I'm sorry, dear Mas .." - Papa Ken shrieked in his wife's arms with tears constantly dripping.

" No, I don't have to apologize." Mama Dira broke her embrace, then cupped her husband's face which was now wet from tears. Mama Dira helps wipe away the tears that wet her husband's handsome face. Even though it was aged, that handsome face did not fade in the slightest.

" Mas ... should not Mas need to be as scared as that because ..."

" How could Mas not be afraid dear, have you forgotten what Mas did first ..."

Mama Dira silenced Papa Ken's mouth with her index finger. Hope the husband no longer speaks and interrupts his unfinished speech.

" Hear what I say to you, don't interrupt it, okay? "ask Mama Dira with a serious face. Making Papa Ken can only obey his wife's orders, if not the martial world.

His wife was patient, understanding, obedient with her husband, but when she was angry.

Mama Dira took Papa Ken out of the walk in closet first, then walked to a sofa in their room to make it more pleasant when talking.

After sitting comfortably, then Mama Dira continued their conversation.

" She, I know where the conversation is going. And .. sorry for never talking about this. Before, I assumed that we no longer needed to remember that past. But, it turns out that events in the past are still very imprinted in the heart of Mas. In fact, to make Mas have a fear of this magnitude. "

" Where could Mas forget the incident," said Papa Ken with a pushy look.

" It would be bad if Mas just forgot about the big mistake that has made a woman's life ruined. Once again, Mas apologized for__" Mama Dira again silenced Papa Ken's mouth. No longer with his fingers, but his lips.

A quick kiss happened.

" Stop apologizing because Mas isn't a bad guy. He was a very kind man, and loving family. Although Mas was not the man in the room, the incident would definitely still happen. But, I wouldn't be able to live this happy life if that man wasn't, Mas, " said Mama Dira honestly.

After that, Mama Dira told me all the truth that had happened that night. Papa Ken's hands were clenched, his eyes reddened with anger when he heard the true story.

If Papa Ken had known this truth earlier, he might have destroyed Darren more tragically than before.

" Now, don't ever think no more because Anne won't take karma from anyone" explained Mama Dira.

" Why don't you tell me a long time ago about all this?"

Mama Dira smiled. " I just don't want to continue to be in the dark circles of the past. Because it will only continue to make this heart feel pain, and have a sense of vengeance on those people," explained Mama Dira while pointing at her chest.

" Why are you so good, baby? " inner Papa Ken who is increasingly amazed by his wife.

" So, smash the big stone that is piercing the heart, Mas at this moment. Before, Mas regretted that it had made Anne also hurt with that fundamental fear. Change Mas's thinking, Anne's already big. He can take care of himself, and knows what is good and what is not. "

Papa Ken just bowed and fell silent. He seemed to feel slapped indirectly by the words of his wife who was right.
