Husband For Keara
Sincerity

Keara alternately looked at her in-laws and husband. Then a cheerful smile melted the rigid atmosphere that framed. "Let's forget the past and get along well from now on. Hm? Deal?"

Harris nodded. The eyes kept on Keara. A beautiful figure that calms his soul. Warming a frozen heart. Thanks to Keara, little by little, her past no longer hurt.

"Hm.. Deals." Harris would not be able to resist any of Keara's wishes. Say he's bucin. It deserves to be labeled a love slave. "Everything that's make you happy, sweetheart.."

Harris and Keara then take turns to look at Anita's mother. Waiting for the answer from the middle-aged woman. The face that was still full of tears seemed to be smiling. Nodding with a happy expression. "Yeah... Deal.." chirped it later.

All three smiled. A smile with tears. Releasing bitter in the past that is still burdensome steps to this day. All the burdens shed instantly.

Keara gave a slight pull on Harris' arm. Her net looked at the husband giving the code without saying a word. But Harris could understand. He moved forward and knelt in front of Anita. Both arms he piles on the old thigh of the mother.

"Sorry Ma.. Harris should have thought of my mother's suffering, too. Mama who tormented physically and bathin when papa drunk.. But Harris only thinks of Harris' own suffering.."

Anita clasped Harris's hand. His tears would not shrink even though he repeatedly. "No Harris. You're not wrong.. The wrong mom.. You have borne a heavy burden at the age of eleven years.. Also when seeing papa died in plain sight.. Mama is very sad about what you are going through, son.. Sorry mama..."

"We forget everything, Ma.. We're starting a new life." concluded Harris.

Anita nodded in agreement.

Harris straightened his body. Hugging the woman who gave birth to him thirty-two years ago. What a yearning for decades has paid off. There's no bulkhead. There's no more distance. Anita stroked her son's back channeling affection that she had never done before.

A minute passed. The loving embrace was released. The mother and son looked at Keara sitting at the side, tearfully crying.

Harris smiled. Next to his hand rubbed the wife's cheek. "Hey the whiny girl.. Don't you want to come in the hug?"

"Mauuu.." said the spoiled Keara.

Anita and Harris opened their arms wide so that Keara could enter in the arms.

This is the most important birthday for Harris. A day he will never forget. He never stopped giving thanks in his heart. For the chance to meet his mother. Decompose the burden of the past so that nothing else hinders his steps in the future.

......................

Harris, Keara, and Anita now sit three at a padang food restaurant. Flipping back the menu book before finally calling a waiter to record his order.

Anita ordered a serving of rice with rendang side dishes. Keara ordered fried chicken side dishes.

Harris shook his head while holding back a laugh. Because, Keara had just had a two-course lunch in her office earlier. Now have you ordered rice paddies again? Amazingly..

"Darling, you're goulashing fish heads, right? Usually kayak?" asked Keara, who immediately wiped the smile on Harris' face.

"Huh? Reluctant, darling.. I ate it." said Harris quickly. Than ordered.

"Deeyahh.. Why eat again?"

Keara thaws spoiled. "Where can that be.. When we ate, Harris was there. I think it's a hard man.."

Harris chuckles. Often his wife's vocabulary is beyond reason. Very entertaining for Harris. "I ordered some sweet iced tea." said Harris shortly before his wife ordered her a meal.

"You ain't eating too, Harris? Time's just a drink?" now Anita's mom persuaded Harris.

Harris shakes. "Engga.. Same mom as this pregnant guy. There's no satiety for him." seduced Harris. He was happy to see his girl who was no longer the girl smashing her lips.

"Mas Harris should eat too. We had lunch two hours ago.. Now it's empty Harris' stomach.. Especially when it was made cry. Lots of energy.." Keara is back in her chat mode.

But Harris still stands firm. He shook. He shook his hand as a signal for the waiter to go to prepare their meal. Makes Keara pout.

Mama Anita shook her head while smiling at the interaction of her son and daughter-in-law. There is happiness that is not enough when expressed in words. She could judge that her daughter-in-law was very spoiled - perhaps pregnant, but perhaps even so - but was also very attentive to her husband. Harris, meanwhile, is more mature and looks comfortable with his wife's spoiled attitude. Befit.

"How did the story get here today?" ask Keara. Catching Harris' attention, the man stared at his mother. "Don't you have to go back to Kalimantan yesterday?"

"Mama is not coming back. Mom still lives in the hotel. Mama's son and daughter-in-law returned yesterday, because there are demands for work." replied Anita. He stared at the brownish bead of Keara while smiling meaningfully.

"Mama thinks a lot and weighs a lot. Mom was struck by someone's words. That while you are still there age, you should meet and ask for forgiveness from your son. At least once in a lifetime. Because you've made a fatal mistake that's hurting your dear son..." Anita rubbed the back of Harris' hand on the table. Harris did the same.

"How's your family doing in Borneo?" it was Harris' turn to ask. Examining the state of the mother, asking about the family of her biological mother is a little strange. But that's how it is.

"Mommy's husband died two years ago. She also has two daughters, Harris.. Your step-sister. The first one was married and had a child, his name was Kinanthi. The second is still high school, her name is Alunna." Anita's mother paused her sentence because their order had already come.

"Mama's girls know about you, Harris.. My mom told me about my mom's past.. Mama is also always enthusiastic to see you on tv, youtube, magazines, or newspapers.. They always tell your mom that there's news from you on social media."

Harris's eyes glazed over. He did not think that was what his mother went through. He had always thought that his mother had forgotten and thought it did not exist. But in fact, just waiting for news of himself from cyberspace.

Mama Anita continued. But it finally came off the lips. "A pa Harris would you like to meet Kinanthi and Alunna one day?"

Harris nagging. "Perhaps after Keara gave birth, we can travel far.. We'll occasionally visit mama in Borneo.."

Anita smiled and nodded. Tears have accumulated in the fertilizer ready to shed wet the face. She was so moved that Harris could accept her as well as a half-brother from her second husband. His son was so heartened that he considered the mistakes of the past as if they never existed.

They also ate the food that was already in session. Sometimes they throw questions and tell each other stories. There is a lot of time that goes by without being together. But all melted in one day. Decay as the word sorry is thrown out and sincerity becomes the foundation of the elimination of the painful past.
