Episode 92 - A Tale of Mbok Ira


"The ex-husband of Mrs Deina was my boss in South Korea when it was TKW" Yati explained.


Sasa just silently listened to every word Yati. "I worked with him for about 3 years,"


"He bore all my living expenses while in South Korea."


Yati tries to turn her memory around a few years ago, right when she was still traveling as a TKW.


"In the third year, my boss, Mr. Kim´s... Decided to visit Indonesia on the grounds he wanted to work with one of the famous hotels in Indonesia,"


"That hotel is Gloubel!"


Yati paused for a moment and spoke back. "He was gone for a few months, while I was still working in South Korea" Yati said.


"After time passed, 3 months later he returned.." said Yati with a slurred look.


"With a different nature and style, his facial features indicate there is a big problem that is in his head," explained Yati again.


"Two weeks after his return, I was asked to move to Bali, precisely at Deina's house,"


"I was at first confused as to why he was transferred to the house of a woman whom he did not even live with."


"Then, what happened after Mbok settled in Bali?" ask Sasa.


"After three days in Bali, I accidentally saw a testpack of Bu Deina who was only 1 month pregnant at the time" Yati said again.


"What is the purpose of Mbok moving to Bali to keep Aunt Deina pregnant?" ask Sasa.


Yati nodded. "Nine months passed until finally a child named Ghare was born, he was a friend of Mysa's college," Yati replied.


"Continue what happened after that Mbok?" ask Sasa curiously.


"I never returned to South Korea because Ms. Deina asked for permission to be ART at her house."


"One year Ghare's age, Bu Deina decided to contact Kim who was in Indonesia at the time" Yati explained.


"Deina objected to taking care of Ghare and wanted to hand him over to Kim. Reason...." Yati suddenly fell silent.


"Because of what, Mbok?" ask Sasa.


Yati looked at Sasa with great hesitation. "Mdude?" ask Sasa again.


Yati approached Sasa and touched the girl's hand. "Never hate Mbok ya Mysa, after you hear this reason," said Yati.


Sasa swallowed his saliva and nodded slowly. "Bu Zena Wijaya doesn't know about Ghare, Mysa. I know this because I accidentally read the letter on the condition that Bu Deina does not do something that tarnishes the family name" explained Yati.


Sasa was completely speechless hearing this. "From that, Miss Deina looked panicked, she tried to hand Ghare over to Kim, they got into a big fight in the yard."


"Bok see and hear what they were arguing about?" ask Sasa.


Yati nodded. "I heard that Mrs Deina offered 1.2 billion if Kim wanted to take Ghare away, the money was scapegoated to help Kim's company, which was on edge."


"After that conversation, Ghare was taken away by Kim, and I never saw Kim come again to Mrs Deina's house."


Sasa took a breath and touched his head which felt heavy. "A few days before Mama's departure, I had heard she was charging a debt to someone," Sasa stared intently at Yati.


"I didn't know who it was until now" Sasa replied.


"Is that person Kim?" ask Sasa to Yati.


Yati shook her head with certainty. "I'm sure Bu Zena doesn't know who Kim is, because the forbidden relationship that Bu Deina did was just desperately he closed off from Bu Zena with a 1.2 Billion bait."


"..." - ".Sasa fell silent again. It justifies Yati's speech. Yati indeed he must hear because he is the key to whatever falsehood Deina has.


"Mbok.." said Sasa again.


Yati looked at Mysa with seriousness. "Is there anything else you know?" ask Sasa.


"But, why is Mbok so scared when he meets Sasa after Mbok returns home?" ask Sasa.


"That's because I don't want Mysa to know about Ghare, I made a promise with Ms. Deina. However, after the passage of time, I feel guilty for continuing to hide this to the child of Alm. Miss Zena."


Mysa nodded and accepted Yati's words. They sipped the tea in front of each one. The fact that Sasa received this time really made him want to vomit.


***


Renita's operation went well and smoothly. Currently, he had already returned to the hospital room despite still lying limp.


"You can go back to Indonesia first, next week Daddy and Mommy will go home!"


Bara glanced at Renita who was still asleep. "I.." said Bara.


"You have to go first, tomorrow is the schedule for the division of internship values, right? Doctor Kimo had already chatted with me."


"Oh yeah, I forgot."


"Well, that's why you should return to Indonesia as soon as possible. Mother will be home soon."


I take a deep breath. He tried to digest Arya's request with a heavy heart.


"Trust me, Daddy, go home." Arya then stroked Bara's shoulder gently.


Bara smiled bitterly and looked at Arya in confusion. He wanted to stay here and go home with his mother.

Sasa got into the car and leaned his body into the chair. He stared blankly ahead. His breathing felt heavy this time.


"Huh.." snorted Sasa.


'Mom will wait for you here, ' - said Bila.


"Shyit!!!!" ketus Sasa's.


Sasa immediately took his phone and pvc someone he knew very well.


'Mysa? Ye? You're not mad at Auntie?' ask Deina from behind the scenes.


Sasa looked at Deina with a cold look. "I need Aunt's explanation for Mama's death!" sasa said that made Deina's heart pound.


Sasa then recorded a screen conversation between the two of them in order to have evidence of this murder. "Sa... You don't think Aunt's involved, do you?" asked Deina doubtfully.


"I've seen the cctv 5 years ago, there is a clear look of Aunt's face when faced with the perpetrator who opened his mask in the cctv room."


Deina seemed very nervous to hear Sasa's statement. He could no longer deny Sasa's words.


"Why can Auntie be in the Cctv room when Mama's killer erases the tape evidence there?" ask Sasa to the point.


Deep down!


"Saa? You know where this whole thing is?"


"I asked once again, why was Aunt there when Mama's murder was in that room?" ask Sasa.


"Tante.." Deina stammered.


"I know Auntie knew who did it a long time ago! But, why is Aunt hiding all this?!!!" sasa resolute.


"Sa, dangerin Aunt first."


"Now, what?" ask Sasa again.
