Salsas
chapter 33. Mona's confession

Mona asks Salsa to call a lawyer, but Salsa is silent, making Mona a little furious.

"Why what, you don't want to bring out Restu?" asked Mona slowly, however Mona felt she had to keep her emotions, if she did not want to make people suspect her.

"I, just wanted to teach Restu a little lesson, it's been the umpteenth time, but he's never been caught! I'm tired of giving him a chance!" salsa replied, hearing Salsa's explanation, Mona was a little surprised, certainly heavy for Salsa who had to take care of her younger siblings who still needed affection while looking for money.

Mona shed tears, if she hadn't left her children then maybe this would never have happened. Mona completely regretted her actions, without her knowing from her mouth the sound of sobs, making Salsa surprised and turned to look at Mona, who was crying, sad, sad, Salsa who was clueless about the situation was sitting next to Mona and hugging her.

Salsa was silent, waiting for Mona's cries to stop, after feeling Mona had calmed down, only then did Salsa release her embrace on Mona.

Salsa stared sadly at Mona, not knowing what Salsa should ask Mona, Mona glanced at Salsa, Mona knew what Salsa was thinking.

*Should I tell her now, it looks like my daughter is this one, very understanding*Bathin Mona.

Mona looked up, Salsa said, "I'm going to tell you one of the biggest secrets of my life, do you want to hear it?" ask Mona.

Salsa was silent, what secrets Mona would tell her, until Salsa nodded slowly.

"I was actually married before I got married to Doctor Burhan" Mona said, to Mona's surprise that Mona had confessed to her at this time.

"I even have 5 children from my previous marriage" Mona continued.

Mona is silent for a moment to see how Salsa reacts, Mona sees Salsa just speechless as if waiting for the next story from her.

"I left my children, looking for a better life" Mona turned to Salsa, waiting for a reaction from Salsa, but Salsa was silent in her place.

Salsa was so reminded of her mother, who had left her and her sisters, despite the fact that Salsa was not angry with her mother, Salsa understood why she had left them, I can't stand the treatment of my father, for him. Although in the end, Salsa himself became a victim because of the actions of the two of them.

Salsa took a deep breath, then turned to look at Mona and said.

"You must have a good reason to raise your children!" salsa said, Mona looked at Salsa sadly, then nodded.

"My husband likes to get drunk and beat me up" Mona replied softly.

Salsa was silent for a long time, when she heard Mona's last words *why Mona's story, exactly the same as your mother's story * Salsa bathin.

"Are you my mother?" salsa asked quietly, Mona nodded. Salsa stared fixedly at Mona in front of her, although Mona's face was very similar to her mother's, but they looked like two different people, like two different people, her mother is beautiful yet innocent while Mona looks like a smart and smart woman.

Salsa did not react to anything, making Mona a little tight-fisted.

"What mother, have you been trying to find us all this time?" salsa asked, who finally opened her mouth.

"Mom went to America then, that's" Mona said.

*So angry, mother at that time, to have to go so far as to leave her children* Salsa bathin.

"Have you come back here because you remember us?" ask Salsa.

"Mother never forgets you for a second, as long as you live in America, you are always in the memory of the mother always, even sometimes the mother regrets that you have died, but the rice has become porridge, rice has become porridge, I can't repeat the past events, now there is only hope, so you can use your mother" Mona said.

Salsa did not immediately open her mouth, as Mona finished talking Salsa was speechless, staring at Mona.

*Mother, must have been tormented all this time, because regret continues to haunt her, as happened to her father, who was even more immersed in her ugliness, which is drunk without being able to rise.

"It looks like I have to give mom a chance, to improve, because now it's just mom, which I have after dad left for good" Salsa thought.

"I will help my mother, so that the sisters can accept the presence of the mother again" Salsa told Mona.

Mona is silent *does this mean Salsa forgives her?* bathin Mona wonders.

"Do you forgive mom?" mona asked slowly and hesitated a little.

Salsa smiled widely, then ran in the arms of her warm and also very mother, Salsa longed for all this time, Mona slowly hugged Salsa tightly back, Mona in disbelief, her innocent daughter, this, once an adult understands life, beyond himself.

Mona cries while hugging Salsa, there is no more desire that Mona wants other than to get recognition from her children.

Salsa let go of her mother's embrace, who was still crying, Salsa wiped away the tears, her mother slowly "I don't want mom to end up like dad, that's mom's spirit! I will support my mother, because I know her journey will be difficult for you" Salsa said.

Hearing her daughter's words, Mona tightens her cries, showing how sorry she was, for her past actions.

Especially after finding out, she had died such a good daughter like Salsa, who had been a victim of her selfishness all along.

A sad and haru atmosphere ensues between Salsa and Mona, until unknowingly there is someone behind them, who stares at them cynically and resentfully. Unbeknownst to Salsa and Mona, Chika overhears all the conversations between the two of them, hearing what Mona says, Chika feels Mona is an unforgivable selfish person and Salsa is a hypocrite who always wants to look good in the eyes of others, Chika hates Salsa.

Chika promises never to forgive Mona in her life, she will make Mona regret for looking back for her children.

Even Mona will destroy Mona's current domestic life, in order for Mona to suffer, just as she has suffered from living by her, since childhood.

And for Salsa, Chika will make Salsa open her eyes, that not only Salsa is suffering and fighting for her family but also herself, how Chika must work alone to meet all the needs of her school, and how she must work herself, even she who always takes care of her sisters, when Salsa works and all that is very tiring and boring, when her friend plays, Chika must be at home to look after her sisters, and all that is very boring, alone and Chika wants everyone to have it all.
