"Why do you always refuse boss Nir's proposal?" Dania asked curiously, "Shaka is already three years old. Aren't you confused if Shaka asks who his father is?"
Nirmala just kept quiet to hear the question from Dania. Nirmala and Dania remained a contract, only Dania helped Nirmala in the worst of times.
"If you're married to Mr. Arwan, at least your life and Shaka's guaranteed."
"Difficult And,...!" Lirih Nirmala's.
"What's so hard about Nir?" Ask Dania astonished.
"I was first traumatized by events in the past. Second, we come from different backgrounds. Surely his family will not accept me what else my son is that I just don't know who his father is."
"And what's third?" Ask Dania curious.
"There's no third!" Nirmala.
"See Shaka,...!" Nirmala looked at the face of her son who was sleeping very fast, "Shaka needs a father figure in Nir's life."
"I know that Dania. But, with my situation like this who will accept me and my son. My brother just threw me out what else is someone else."
Dania took a deep breath, Nirmala's life was too complicated to describe.
"Once Nir comes home, he knows your brother has forgiven you and he feels guilty for throwing you out. It's not all your fault, it's all fate."
"I'm not ready to go home. I still remember very well how big brother kicked me out with even the heart to insult me." Nirmala closed her eyes, her memory still strong about the events of a few years ago.
"At least you should know how your family Nir is doing....!"
"What do I know? They never looked for me. You don't know what it's like to be treated like a stranger..."
Dania took a rough breath, looking pityfully at Nirmala.
"What matters now is your happiness and Shaka's. Remember Nir, Shaka needs a father!"
Once again, Nirmala just nodded without speaking anymore.
"Mrs.....!" lirih a handsome boy with a very sleepy face.
"Son, Shaka. Why wake up, baby?" Nirmala approached her son, who was sleeping on a mattress on the floor.
"Mom,.....!!''
Shaka hugged Nirmala and slept on her lap. Tired, but what else? all are Nirmala's lifeline.
"Thank you Mr. Arwan's proposal, I'm sure he'll make your lives happy." Dania tried to suppress Nirmala.
"We'll talk about it sometime Dan, I'm tired. Let's sleep!"
Once again, Dania could only throw a rough breath.
In the morning, Nirmala and Dania woke up early. Although today Nirmala got the holiday ration, but he could not get up during the day.
"Good morning" said Arwan who suddenly appeared in front of the rented door.
"Well sir, why come here?" ask Dania who actually has memorized the meaning and purpose of Arwan.
"As usual, I want to take Nirmala and Shaka for a walk."
"Oh, don't do it. I can take Shaka away on my own" refused Nirmala.
"Hell, don't mind. Let's go now!" Take Arwan.
"Mas Arwan must be a lot of work. Let's go next time, shall we?" Nirmala refused.
Instantly Arwan issued his flagship style. The man knelt down, grabbed Shaka's hands and grabbed them.
"Dear Shaka, you want to buy no toys?"
Shaka's plain eyes looked up, staring at Nirmala's face.
"Mom,....!" Lirih Shaka's. The boy was quiet, talking just as necessary. Nirmala was sometimes confused as to where her son's cold nature came from.
Shaka's clear plain eyes make the mama's heart melt as well. In the end, Nirmala wanted to be invited by Arwan to go for a walk.
Arwan is very happy, this man invites Shaka and Nirmala to go to the mall. Arwan accompanies Shaka to play, it is clear that Shaka is very happy.
Nirmala was very sad when she saw her son laughing happily with Arwan.
"Nir,....!!"
Arwan surprises Nirmala.
"Eh, mum. What's up, mas?"
"You why? how daydreaming?"
"Why not. Did you play it?" Tanya Nirmala diverts.
"Yes. Shaka's hungry, let's go eat!" Take Arwan.
Then they went to find a good place to eat. After getting a place, Arwan and Nirmala immediately ordered food.
"Loh, Arwan...!!" Yuni was surprised to see her son in the mall.
"Mom!" Lirih Arwan immediately felt awkward.
"Mas Arwan, why did you go with him?" Sofia stared sinisterly at Nirmala.
"Well, why?"
"Arwans. I told you, you don't like him, what else is his son!"
"Yes. Mas Arwan why is he so close to the illegitimate child who is not clear his father?"
"Sophia...!" Shake Arwan, "keep your mouth!"
Nirmala just kept quiet, she immediately hugged her son.
"Heh you....!" Yuni pointed at Nirmala's face, "which shaman did you use to save my son huh?"
"Sorry mom, I'm not like that." Nirmala.
"Mas, you want my fiancee. Why are you even going with this woman huh?"
"Who would you like to be engaged to?" Ask Arwan.
"Arwan,...!" Sent Yuni, "come home. You don't like being close to them."
"Yes, the son is not clear his father. It must be a came-rame!" sofia Eject.
"You can insult me. But, don't insult my son once in a while. He doesn't know anything!" Nirmala growls.
"Well, why is it making a fuss here? It's my right, who do I want to go with?"
"Arwans. Mom asked you to fire him. How many years has our restaurant housed a dirty man like him. You fucking carrier!"
"Huh,....!"
"If you do not comply with this mamah talk once, you will make sure that your restaurant will be closed permanently." Yuni threatened her son. Sofia just smiled triumphantly while looking at Nirmala.
Nirmala could not stand it anymore, she immediately carried Shaka and took him away. Arwan is intent on chasing, but Yuni arrests his son quickly.
"Mamah why the hell? my feelings are not good!"
"That's all because you don't like it when you're close to Nirmala. Arwan, Nirmala's son is a bastard!"
"Well, enough, mah. Shaka is not a bastard. Shaka deserves to be happy!"
"Mas Arwan really likes to defend the Nirmala with his son. Does Arwan like him?" Ask Sofia.
"If so, why?"
"Your friends disagree. Arwan, let's go home!"
"Son, you can go home with Sofia." Arwan refused.
"Where are you going Arwan?"
Arwan did not answer, he chased after Nirmala and Shaka who had gone somewhere.
"Can't be a big aunt. Aunty wants to have a daughter-in-law who already has a child whose father is not clear?" Sofia's trying to pump up.
