Mia, um,
I woke up when the watch in my hand showed at 07:09 am, I saw that around me there were already a lot of people running around doing activities in the morning today.
I stared pusar forward watching the expanse of gravestones lined up at the public burial place where my only brother was in the tomb right, Actually I myself was confused, why I was able to get here , what else was it midnight without lighting. Without fear I laid my body beside the tombstone that read my sister Masnia's name.
I don't know, I was so mad at her, why she asked me to be the mother of her child, if she knew her husband loved another woman, she said, I felt like a fool why I had to be stuck with such a bad guy, a guy I initially admired, so I began to fall in love with him. faithfully waiting for him, accepting his every cuckoo attitude, he said, and hoping to age with him, take care of my brother's son, and ahhh, I could no longer imagine all his loss along with his cruel confession, that he loved another woman.
I'm trying to be tough but I can't even see his face right now, until I drove my car to an orphanage run by my in-laws, Ms. Hanum.
"Assalamualaikum mama" My greeting when I saw the mother was sitting on a park bench in front of the orphanage.
"When you come, son, where's the mother's grandchild why not be invited" asked the 60-year-old woman.
"Mia herself mother, Mia happened to have made the pilgrimage to eat Nia's sister, "my words while sitting next to her.
"You've had breakfast, mother made tea yes" said the mother friendly.
"By bun, it just so happens that Mia hasn't had breakfast." Well I guess a glass of warm tea can clear my mind for now. Mother called one of the orphanage children and asked him to make tea, and no need to wait long two glasses of tea and several pieces of serabi cake was already on the table.
"You're fine, son" said the mother, stroking my shoulder. The current vow wants me to scream and hug your mother while saying your son is betraying you, but I try to hold all of that in order to keep my mother-in-law's feelings. A mother who is very meritorious for hundreds of children who hitchhiking live in this orphanage.
I smiled and nodded, I took a glass containing warm tea that I took a sip of the contents then turned my gaze to the vast expanse of the park just to take my eyes off the eyes of the mother.
"Say son" said Mother as if to understand all my heart. I fell silent, my eyes fixed on the group of children playing, the children, well, children who have not entered school age play in the park accompanied by some adult orphanage children who are willing to devote themselves to this orphanage child.
"Huf...." I took a rough breath I looked at my mother's shady face and then I wondered if it was natural for me to tell this old lady my domestic affairs, "No. I could not bear to add to the burden of her mind.
"I'm fine mom" Finally that sentence came out of my lips. For a moment we kept silent on each other's minds until without me realizing a Lamborghini Aventador car entered the area of the home.
"Mia, let's look like there's a guest" Mother patted my back and I looked up at the courtyard of the parlour, looking as if a woman was getting out of the luxury car, I linked my forehead to make sure that my views weren't wrong.
"Mommy" I muttered which I think also sounded in my in-laws' ears.
"Do you know him, son." Ask my mother, I nodded and she met a special guest that morning.
*****
Lungaya woman was greeted warmly by buk Hanum seen them chatting for a while then buk Hanum invite the woman into the orphanage. Meanwhile, Mia is still in the park and invites children to enter according to Hanum's book orders. Soon the children gathered in the hall as usual they continued to play in the room because it was getting hot outside. Aulia helps children who are adults to make tea for guests who come.
"Nina, let brother deliver his tea." Mia said when a girl named Nina was about to lift a tray containing a small cake and warm tea that had been made by Mia.
"What's not papa brother?" Nina asked not well with Mia.
"Let's just brother, I happen to know the mother's guest." Nina handed her tray to Mia, and Dan Mia immediately escorted the tray to the living room. Without Mia realizing Nina shook her head looking at Mia's messy appearance.
"Mia....?" The woman who is none other than Mama Ratih, a kind woman who already considers Mia like her own daughter.
"This is my daughter-in-law on Ratih's deck." Said Hanum while smiling gently.
"O Allah, the world is so narrow that Hanum, Mia, it used to be." Ratih who realized his talk as if something was wrong immediately closed his lips tightly.
"Well,...???" Buk Hanum was a little curious about Ratih's sentence.
"Yes, so this Mia used to be my son's friend, but because of something my son had to move to work out of town, so we rarely met again mbak." Said Ratih, well even though it was not honest but he also did not lie.
Mia looked uneasy as Ratih discussed the past, it was very visible on her face that only looked down and smiled awkwardly.
"How's your daughter Mia doing, is she healthy.?" Tanya Ratih melted the atmosphere back
"Alhamdulillah Dila is well." They also chat lightly while occasionally asking for news and also discussing children's homes. Until Mia found out that Ratih and her children are donors who always send sebako to the orphanage since 5 years ago.
cring...
"Irwan's Asalamualaikum." Buk Ratih picked up his cell phone and then spoke seriously with someone across there.
deg...
Mia's heart seemed to stop beating when Ratih mentioned the name. Her face suddenly turned pale and her fingers clasped tightly onto the back of the sofa.
"Yes son, well, you just go in, there will be children who will help you anyway." Ratih said to someone there . while occasionally glancing towards Mia.
"I. yes, son, you go straight to the warehouse." Light Train again to that person.
"Mak Hanum looks like my son has come, and they're lifting the groceries to the barn" Ratih told Hanum.
"Loh let the Parjo mang later and the children who lifted the deck Ratih, after all, Irwan and Fahmi's son must be very tired, let them rest and drink tea first."
"Don't bother mbak, any child seems to be hunting." Hanum said a little.
" I'm just saying yes, mbak,"
"Mia mamah immediately said yes" Mia just silently did not respond.
"Mia..?" Buk Hanum patted Mia on the shoulder.
"I. Is it mom?" Mia fluttered like a thief who was being caught off guard.
"That's loh, Ratih's deck wants to pay." Mia looked at Ratih softly and then hugged the middle-aged woman.
"You'd better not meet, ma'am farewell." Trained whispers in Mia's ears. Ratih gently rubbed Mia's head. The woman nodded, Buk Hanum drove Ratih to his car park, wanting to thank Ratih's two children.
