Your wife Sachi


NOTE: After this episode, there are no more similar parts like Bed Friend. The story and the next one is here.


Delia was still sobbing and kneeling before Luna, whereas Luna could only fall silent and still try to digest what she was currently experiencing. To him, it all felt like a dream. Yes, he does know that he is not the son of Rahma, even he also knows his origins were found in the carriage by Rahma. But, he also did not expect if it turned out that his biological parents were Delia.


Delia, the woman she had met before at her neighbor Vallen's house, turned out to be her biological mother. 'Mama?' inwardly Luna, her tears now began to flow profusely soaking her beautiful face.


"I'm sorry, Luna. I'm sorry, I'm sorry this stupid woman couldn't take care of you so well, I'm sorry, "that's all that's been said over and over again from Delia's lips.


"At that time, I just want you to grow up well, in a healthy environment, and avoid ridicule from the surrounding environment for having parents like us" said Delia.


Luna was still speechless, feeling the pain and tightness that was in her heart. He hugged the woman who was crying in front of him. But, her body felt so stiff, the incident she experienced today was so unexpected.


Looking at Luna who was now so confused, Shakila then approached towards Luna. "Luna please forgive Mama, she accidentally did all that. It's all happening out of Mama's control, Luna. At that time the condition of the mother was really concerning," said Delia.


"I'm sorry" said Delia. Luna tried to strengthen herself, dispelling the pain that was so stifling the chest, she slowly brought her body closer to Delia's body and hugged her.


"Mama," said Luna as she hugged Delia, accompanied by a cry that now sounded so heartbreaking.


"Luna, do you want to call me Mama?" ask Delia.


"Of course, Ma," Luna replied while nodding her head.


"You're going to forgive Mama, right?" ask Delia. Luna just nodded her head, hugging Delia more and more.


"Mama... "


"Lunaaaa... "


Both of them, now also dissolved in hugs and sobs. Shakila, who saw them hugging, hugged Luna. "My sister" said Shakila. Luna who was still sobbing then nodded her head "Yes, Brother. Brother Shakila," replied Luna while looking at Shakila, who was now also sobbing. All three dissolve in hugs and sobs for quite a long time.


Their feelings are so mixed, between happy, haru, and sad. Although happiness was so felt by the three of them, there was no denying the sadness in each other's hearts while remembering the separation they had experienced for twenty years. Especially for Delia, even though she had already found Luna or Sachi but the guilt still so enveloped her heart.


Now, Delia sat beside Luna smiling and caressing her face. "You're so pretty, son. Sorry for the mistakes and mistakes you've made, you can't see you guys growing up."


"It's okay," Shakila and Luna replied simultaneously.


"What has passed, let Ma pass. No need to be taken into account all the bad events of the past, because the most important thing is the present and the future."


"Yes, the future. Mama wants to fix all the mistakes of mama by being a grandmother who goes up for the granddaughter of mama," said Delia while stroking Luna's stomach.


"Still a long time, Ma. My gestational age is only two months."


"But my mother was impatient. Then, how's your relationship with Devano?" ask Delia.


"Devano?" luna said while frowning.


"Yes Devano, isn't your husband Devano?"


"Yes, my husband is Devano. But how did you know my husband was Devano? Didn't we meet when I didn't mention my husband's name?"


Delia then smiled. "Mama knows everything, son. My mom knows everything. A few days ago, your sister Shakila went to Ms. Rahma's house, and she told Shakila everything. All the events she told Shakila, from finding you in a train car, leaving her biological son Dea in an orphanage because he has congenital heart disease, and finally choosing to take care of you. Ms. Rahma also told me that you're married to Devano."


"So Mama Rahma told you everything?"


"Yes Luna, Ms. Rahma told me all that. Emh..., look, Luna, you've actually been betrothed."


"stupid? How could it be Ma?"


"Yes, long ago, you were actually betrothed to someone, Luna."


"But you have to make that match, Luna."


"No way, Ma. Didn't Mama know that I was carrying Devano's flesh and blood?"


"Luna, you still have to continue the match, son. You must be officially married to your soul mate."


"Mama, what does Mama mean? I can't just leave Devano, and marry another man because I'm currently pregnant with Devano's flesh and blood, and we love each other, Ma."


"Luna, did the name tell you to marry another man? Mama just told you to marry the man you've been betrothed to."


"I really don't understand."


"Luna, you know, your real name is Sachi. And Sachi, already betrothed to Devano."


Luna could only ponder while opening her mouth. "You heard what Mom said, didn't you Sachi? Since long ago, you've been betrothed to Devano. So, that means you're married to the person you're betrothed to."


"God..."


"Yes you're married to the right man, Devano."


Shakila then smiled. "Yes, you've been betrothed to Devano, and you're actually Luna's match."


"Sister, I knew Devano had been betrothed, but I was already covered in his flesh and blood, so Devano married me. But as far as I'm concerned, isn't the name of the woman Devano is Shakila not Sachi?"


"Yes, it was like that at first, but your sister had also found a loved one, and we couldn't separate them because we were also indebted to Darren's parents, Shakila's boyfriend."


"Oh, so there's no problem between me and Devano?"


"Of course not, son. Mama's gonna talk about all this with Devano's parents."


When Delia had just finished her sentence, suddenly a voice startled them. "Neng Luna, Brother came Neng!" devano shouted as he walked towards the living room.


Seeing Delia and Shakila sitting in the living room together with Luna, Devano was so surprised. Aware of Devano's arrival behind them, Shakila smiled and called out her name.


"Devano!" call Shakila. Devano who could not avoid, could only grimace while scratching his head that did not itch.


Delia then turned her body and smiled at Devano. Good afternoon Aunt Delia, good afternoon Shakila."


"Come to Devano! Sit down with us!"


Despite stepping in doubt, Devano finally approached them. Delia then moved to sit next to Shakila.


'Oh, my God, what am I supposed to do? Ah it's okay to let them know that I'm married to Luna. After all I also I want to cancel my engagement with Sachi, Devano's inner self. Delia looked at Devano while smiling knots.


"Devano, you've finally met Sachi."


"What does Aunt Delia mean?"


"Yes, it turns out that you're even married to Sachi, because Luna is Sachi. Sachi my lost daughter."


"What's? Luna is Sachi? Won't that?" shouts Devano.


"Yes Devano, your wife is Sachi!"


Hearing Delia's words, Devano then shouted. "LUNAAAA TURNS OUT YOU'RE REALLY MY SOUL MATE! WE ARE ALREADY FOOLED! EVEN WHEN WE WERE TADPOLES, WE WERE LUNA!"
