Our Love Is Not Over
The Part 22
Raisa was forced to leave her job one day because she could not bear Mia who continued to whine and cry asking herself to come see her son's race.
At the school, in the hall, students were focused on painting while their parents sat in their chairs looking at the event.
An hour passed. The painting is over. Waiting for the results of the jury's assessment and the results are announced. On the sidelines, Mia approached Raisa.
"Thank you Mami is coming and seeing me paint." Mia gave her sweet smile. For him, if he doesn't win, it's okay. The most important thing in every precious moment is Raisa in it.
"Beloved together. Mami saw your picture on the screen. Very good, dear. Mami was not aware that it turns out that Mami's youngest son is good at painting."
"Hehe, yes dong Mi. Mommy want to try painting me?" tawar Mia's.
"Don't want to, Mi! Nay! There will be Mami made weird with Mia! He used to paint my face, but it's rich monkey Mi."
Mia stared straight at Kia.
"Come straight off! Where the hell are you from?"
"Repo!" kia said that made Mia even more upset.
Both are hobbies of arguing. That's what makes them both so familiar. They will feel lost to each other when one of them disappears.
"You guys, this isn't home. So don't keep arguing."
"Yes Mi," answered the two who were instantly silent.
Suddenly Raisa's eyes immediately round in disbelief when she saw there was Elsa also in the same place. Raisa immediately suspects that maybe Elsa's child also attended the same school.
Elsa looked at him with her son's hand. He walked towards Raisa and the twins.
"Hi Mba" said Elsa.
"Hi too" replied Elsa.
"It turns out the world is very narrow, Mba. For 8 years we did not meet, apparently all this time Mba was still near me. Did Mba forget that the Gautama family is the biggest donor to this school?"
Yes, maybe Raisa did forget, because so many businesses, schools and branch companies owned or assisted by the Gautama family. All he knew was that he wanted to provide the best education for the twins.
"Maybe" answered Raisa.
"But I'm grateful for that." Raisa added, "I still keep my promise not to tell Mas Edgar that he has a child with Mba."
"Thank you."
When he saw Elsa, the twins immediately remembered their meeting at the mall with Roni.
"Mia, isn't that Aunt who made Om Ron sweat cold?" whisper Kia to Mia.
"Ah, that's right! Does he want to make Mami rich, Om Ron? Nope! Cannot be allowed. We have to protect Mami, Kia!"
"Don't come near Mami, Auntie!" mia said firmly while slipping between the two adults.
"Hey, can't be so dear!"
"This aunt is trying to make Mami sad, right? He wants to take care of Mami, right?" Mia kept talking.
Raisa instantly aligned her height with Mia.
"Why does Mia talk like that?"
"Here you've met this Aunt, Om Ron so dry his hands. Rich people are restless with that fear, Mi. Mia's afraid Mami will be like that."
"No dear. This aunt is not evil. Get to know each other."
Mia looks to see Elsa from head to toe.
Elsa shaking. She was very fascinated by the beauty and attitude Mia had. It seems that she loves Raisa.
"Aunty Elsa's name, what's your name?" elsa asked while aligning her height with Mia as well.
"Mia Aunty" replied Mia.
"Keep your twin?"
"Kia" answered Mia.
"Ah, Kia and Mia apparently. Who's her brother here?" ask Elsa.
Mia pointed at Kia. But he would not want to consider us his brother because their birth time is different 10 minutes.
"How do you distinguish? Your faces look alike."
"Said Mami, our different ways are easy. Our nature is different. Kia is more pendiem than I am" replied Mia.
"Well, this is Auntie's son Jesper."
"Hi twins," said Jesper.
Both just nodded.
Elsa looked at Raisa as if hinting at something. Raisa also understands. Raisa holds the shoulders of her two children and explains who Elsa really is.
"Darling, Aunt Elsa is the sister of your papi. So he's your aunt. That automatically Jesper is your cousin."
"Really Mi?" ask the twins at the same time.
Raisa nodded.
"Tante is the same face Papi, Kia," whispered Mia to Kia.
"Tante, have we been really busy all this time? Why until we are this big, Papi has never met us even though. Is it because Papi has a girlfriend?"
That question only made Elsa and Raisa surprised. Raisa never thought that her son would directly ask Elsa so. Likewise with Elsa who immediately stared intently at Raisa for having told such a thing to the twins.
Elsa did not answer because the race and race were told to return to her seat because the winner would be announced soon.
Now only Elsa and Raisa are sitting side by side, while Kia, the boy prefers to sit near his friends.
"What does Mba mean by saying that Mas Edgar had a girlfriend with them? Did Mba want to make them think that Mas Edgar was a bad papi?"
"No, it's not like that. Everything just happens. I once gave them a picture of Edgar holding hands with Tamara. I didn't think they were going to get there."
"If this is the case, better Mba immediately tell Mas Edgar. She's entitled to know that she has two daughters and they're twins."
"I'm sorry, I can't yet" replied Raisa.
"Why the hell Mba? Why is Mba so selfish? They must also want to meet their Papi. Why does Mba keep blocking and deliberately hiding?"
"I'm not selfish, but they themselves have not asked to be reunited with their Papi. They just want to know what their Papi is like. That's why I always tell Edgar and show them how Edgar looks like. If I was selfish, I would have chosen not to tell you who their papi was, or after you realized Edgar had a child with me, I could've moved out of town so that your family wouldn't even know there were twins."
Elsa was silent for a moment. Until now he was still confused by the direction of Raisa's mind path. To be honest he agreed not to tell the twins to Edgar, but he also did not want to keep hiding the truth. Edgar deserves to know.
