Bell sounds. I was washing vegetables forced to stop my activities.
"Just let me do it, Mirna," I prevented because my maid was about to walk forward.
"Oh good, Ma'am." Answer Mirna politely.
I just walked back to the living room. I'm sure that guest is Siska. I open the door slowly.
Siska looked at me with a straight face. Then just walked in without saying hello. Maybe he's still upset. When on the phone, I gave an Islamic lecture to him.
He went straight to mom's room. I watched him from behind with a patient heart. Maybe because Siska is younger than me and she also has a child. So maybe Siska is still like a child.
I went into mom's room.
"Mom, how are you?" asked Siska with a shining face. He touched his mother's arm.
Mama was surprised to see Siska. He put down the magazine and immediately hugged his second child warmly.
"Oh God, Siska, why didn't you say you wanted to come here?" asked mom with a spoiled face.
"Yes, Mom. The problem is that Siska can give a surprise to mom," said the woman with straight hair without bangs.
“Then where are Bagas and Broto? He's in the living room right?" Mama asked enthusiastically while looking behind Siska.
I'm really scared for mom. What if mom finds out that Siska is going to divorce Broto.
"Mommy just take a break, okay? Siska said she wanted to help me make spinach for my mom. Isn't that right Siska? Let's go to the kitchen first," I said quickly giving the code to Siska.
I didn't take Siska's hand quickly. Although his face looks not okay.
"Yes, please rest first. After that, my mother wanted to meet Bagas, my granddaughter, and Broto, Soleh's mother-in-law. Can you?" asked mom happily.
"Yes, ma definitely okay," I said softly.
"Okay, let's both go to the kitchen first, okay, mom," I said and went straight out of mom's room while holding Siska. Get outside the room. I immediately took Siska to the kitchen.
"You want to talk now, Siska?" I asked seriously.
"Yes, what can I do, Miss. I'll just be honest with mom. Before things got complicated,” Siska replied with a crumpled face.
"You and Broto have made an appointment, Miss. You won't talk to your mother first before you two get divorced," I said angrily.
"Yes, let's just pray that mom will be fine when she hears this news," said Siska casually.
"Oh God, I don't know what to do anymore, sis," I bowed my head languidly.
I really really feel very dizzy. If something happened to mom. I'm also the one who will be hard later.
Siska suddenly approached me. He touched my shoulder gently. As if feeling guilty. Maybe he feels that way.
"Mom, just be honest. I'm really sorry about everything that happened. I don't have any intention to hurt anyone," Siska said in a low voice.
"I beg you to take care of Mama. Because I can't be in Jakarta Ma'am. You already know that later I will marry Doni and I will live in Australia with Doni. It's not that I don't want to take care of Mama. But if I take care of mom. What I have is mom and I often fight and that's not good for mom too sis. I'm an emotional person. I can't wait to take care of mom. So I hope that you will continue to take care of your mother, okay? “ explained Siska with a pitiful face. I briefly saw his face. But I looked the other way.
Siska touched my shoulder again.
"Don't worry, miss. Later Siska will transfer money to pay for my mother's needs and Siska will increase the amount. You don't need to worry, siska said in a reassuring tone.
I can only say silent. I really can't resist all of this. Because I know. Why did I refuse to take care of mom? There's really no acceptable reason. As long as I'm healthy I can take care of mom. I just can't if Mas Bara is cheating on me and I just keep quiet and then I take care of my mother with great difficulty.
“In that case, Siska will go to Mama's room first, sis. Siska will talk to Mama carefully," Siska said slowly. Then left me who just froze.
I have to wipe these tears I can't cry like this. I'm also tired of having to cry all the time. I even hate myself if I cry so easily.
I headed to the kitchen because earlier I and Mirna were making spinach for my mom. Mama really likes to eat porridge with added spinach.
"Have you finished the porridge?" I asked, approaching Mirna who was in front of the stove.
"All is well, Miss Bella. The spinach is ready and the porridge is ready too," said Mirna excitedly. He set plates and bowls on the table.
While I lifted the spinach that was on the stove. We both set the food on the table.
I sat for a while looking at everything that was on the table. Looks like everything is ready.
"Miss, can Mirna say something to Miss Bella or not?" Mirna asked making me frown to see Mirna.
"Why the hell, Mir?" I asked in surprise.
"Mirna is just curious Ma'am. Before Mirna went on leave to the village. Mirna wants to know what's going on with Ma'am Bella's household with Mas Bara?" asked Mirna.
I just smiled at him.
"You're really curious, Mirna," I said casually.
"Yes, Mirna is not comfortable. Mirna means. Mirna, I heard about Ms. Bella's fight with Mas Bara and Mirna was sad when she heard that, Ms. Mirna please, ma'am. Ms. Bella and Mas Bara, don't let them separate. It's really sad, if that happens. It's a shame, Ma'am. If the household must be separated. Mirna's advice, if something happens, Ms. Bella, just be patient. Everything must be wise. Don't let Miss Bella regret being separated from Mas Bara. And again, if Ms. Bella separates from Mas Bara, what will Mirna do later? Where do you want to work, Mirna?” Mirna said with a sad face.
I approached Mirna. The woman with the fat body and short hair looked like she wanted to shed tears.
"What the hell, Mir. Ma'am, you don't want to separate, with Mas Bara. And you don't have to worry about that. Thank you too for your advice," I said while stroking Mirna's arm gently.
"I hope that Mbak Bella and Mas Bara's household will be fine," said Mirna, looking at my face.
"Yes amenn," I said with a smile.
Mirna is like a sister to herself. Because he has been working in my house for a long time. Maybe about five years.
