Another figure

Ever since Ara started to remember, her mother's languid face, but always giving her a comforting smile was what she remembered.
From the age of two until now, her mother's smiling face was a comfort that Ara would always remember. even as she grew up, and her mother began to lie helplessly in bed, the smile on her lips never faded.
Even though her mother never once complained about the situation, Ara knew she was in a lot of pain. In the struggle against illness, her mother always put her first.
The feeling of a mother's love for her child, which exceeds the size of the ocean, Ara has understood since she was in junior high school.
Since then, Ara has always tried to take her to the hospital for treatment, but she always refused with the excuse, "Money is more important for you to go to school."
This incident continued until Ara high school.
However, since Ara graduated from high school, her mother was no longer able to work, and could only lie at home. From that moment on, Ara started to rebel, and did not want to go to college anymore. fig began to replace her mother's work, and began to raise money for her mother's care.
But still, her mother didn't want to be taken to the hospital, and preferred to use the money she earned for the future, when she was about to get married.
and now, when he has set one foot towards his dream, the mother who has always supported him is gone for good.
Remembering this past, Ara's tears could no longer be held back.
even when she wasn't home yet, she couldn't hold back, and fainted in her mother-in-law's arms.
"Ara, Ara! Wake up son!
"Ara dear, you have to wake up. Everything has passed, forget the past. Now we will always take care of you."
when Ara came back to her senses, she heard two male and female voices anxiously calling her to wake up.
Ara's helpless body is now lying in her simple room.
while on the left side of his bed was his mother-in-law, Mrs. Zaskia, who was calling him anxiously to wake him up.
On the right side was a twenty-eight year old man, handsome in appearance, not too ugly and not too handsome. dressed casually, and was holding Ara's hand worriedly.
Rino Vishnu Barata, she is Sashihara's fiancé. The son of Mrs. Zaskia, and a successful and richest businessman in his place.
just as Ara opened her eyes, she saw the faces of two men and women looking at her with concern.
"Ara! You're finally awake!" The first person who was pleased with Ara's wake was her mother-in-law.
"Honey, you have to be strong, okay. we will get married soon, forget about your sadness. We'll be family soon, you can think of us as your family." Next was Rino who spoke to cheer.
It seemed that Ara didn't think much of their words. he was still thinking about his mother leaving, and the first thing that came out of his mouth was the word 'Mom'.
"Mother...where is my mother? My mother is fine, right?"
Ara's in-laws seem to be very affectionate, and understand Ara's grief. Seeing Ara who was still grieving, he immediately reached out, and stroked Ara's head gently to comfort.
"Ara dear, your mother has calmed down there. You can't be sad, if your mother sees you like this, she will definitely feel sad there."
"Mom is rightbaby, you have to stay strong. We're here to replace your mother. We promise to take good care of you. As good as your mother takes care of you." Rino who was next door also added.
Ara looked between the two people in front of her, and finally her gaze fell on Rino's face.
Seeing the worried-looking man's face there, the memory of the events of the past few days flashed back.
"Sob... sob... sob..." remembering about her mother's current death, and the incident where her crown was snatched away, Ara cried again.
sadness, and guilt come at the same time.
"That's it, that's it. It's all over. Don't be sad anymore, you're not alone anymore. We'll always be here." Zaskia's mother immediately comforted her again when Ara started to cry.
rino on his right was also trying to cheer him up. "Honey, don't be sad anymore, okay. You better get some rest to cool off." He even used his hands to wipe away Ara's tears.
receiving the sincere attention of these two, Ara tried to contain her sadness, and nodded slowly.
After Ara calmed down a bit, Mother Zaskia spoke to Rino. "Rino, I'm going to look for food, Ara hasn't eaten all day. You don't go anywhere, and take care of her!"
"Okay ma'am." Rin nodded.
Thus, Zaskia's mother left the two of them leaving the room to look for food.
After Zaskia's mother went out, Ara closed her eyes again. While Rino who was by his side just held Ara's hand, and guarded it without speaking.
Time passed in silence.
"Ring....Honey, I'm calling you."
The silence, the ringing tone of Rino's cell phone woke Ara who subconsciously turned to look at her.
"My phone ring tone. Umm, this must be my friends who changed it. I'll pick it up first." Rino immediately answered when she saw Ara's gaze.
after getting Ara's nod, Rino hurriedly left her room.
After a few minutes, Rino returned to the room with a regretful face.
"What is it?" Ara asked.
"There's a call from the office, I have to leave immediately." Rino replied a little regretfully.
Ara was silent for a moment before agreeing.
"Honey, it's an urgent matter, I'll definitely be back soon. Sorry.." Rino kissed Ara's forehead before apologizing, and went outside.
The room fell silent again. in silence, through the door of her room that was not closed, the simple kitchen where her mother used to cook food was pictured in Ara's mind.
In Ara's daydream, another shadow appears to appear there. When he saw this figure, all of Ara's daydreams were instantly shattered.
