After Wedding (Panji And Echa)
CHAPTER 36

This morning, Melisa had woken up first. After last night brought Diko home. He often leaves Diko at the residence of his stepmother, Riana. And also Diko is quite familiar with her younger sister, Melani. But what happened last night made him know that they didn't like Diko there. That was enough last night to leave Diko.

Not that she wouldn't babysit her child. As a single parent who has been divorced three years with her husband. Melisa should also be the backbone for Diko. Don't want to just wait for the monthly money from her ex-husband. Moreover, the man was married and had children. She was sure that soon her husband would rarely send a living to Diko.

In a room size 3x4, it appears a little boy was sleeping soundly. Long she looked at the small figure coming out of her womb. Sometimes taking a deep breath.

The flashback

After work as usual Melisa invites Diko to take her home. As an office worker he can usually go home before six in the afternoon. But the effect of overtime makes him have to go home above nine.

Lisa parked her car on the porch of her papa residence. The house is now in the place of his sister and stepmother. When the papa was still there, Lisa often played there to invite Diko who was still a matter of months. His father retired and enjoyed his old age. So far he's seen his stepmother good on her papa. To him too, very dear to Diko.

However, after the father died. Lisa rarely went to that house. When Heri, the husband chose to separate because he was married to another woman. Lisa accepts, she believes there is still tomorrow to uphold her future. Moreover, Heri did not issue custody to Lisa's hands. Because the man already had a child from another woman.

Back to tonight, Lisa asked the whereabouts of her only child.

"Ma, Diko's asleep, huh?" lisa checked her old room.

"Diko invited your sister to her boss's wedding. Diko asked to come. Maybe because she saw your sister was already beautiful and thought there was a children's party." explains Riana.

"But it's past ten, Ma. Time hasn't come home yet." Lisa Protest.

"Here you go, try calling Lani." Lisa obeyed her mother's request. His hands danced over the flat screen. The sound from there is still heard. Lisa turned off again and called again. "Not lifted, Ma." whined Lisa.

"Hopefully, there's Lani there. Your son must be safe" Riana said.

"Where are you?" ask Lisa when her phone is picked up by her sister.

"At the party." The answer sounded lightly from across the street.

When did you come home? It's been a night of pity for Diko there. If you want a party, don't bring a child." Rage the voice of the woman across there.

"Yes, I'll be home soon and bring the boy home. So find a husband do not busy work, the child got the sap!"

"Eh, I'm just asking to take my son home. From that moment I didn't feel good. Diko's okay, right? Take the kids to the party, why."

"Brother,Ah. Still lucky to take care of this super-rese kid!" lani answered immediately turning off her phone.

"Where?" ask Riana.

Lisa did not answer Riana's question. His body was thrown onto the living room couch. His hand was pinching his forehead. His feelings are not right now. I don't know why there's fear.

"You better rest in the room. Later when Diko has come home mama wake you up." Lisa nodded small. He complied when asked to wait for the return of his brother and son.

Lisa can't rest. His eyes are trying to stay awake, who knows Diko has arrived can be immediately taken home. His hand reached into the mobile phone, it was past eleven o'clock last night but Diko had not arrived.

Lisa heard her mother talking on the phone.

"So how?" ask Riana.

"Is there Malik there? so who's Echa's son? Malik's son, huh? means you're dong's brothers? cousin fall."

"The name of Laksmi's mother! If it's true, I agree with you. Those who made your father made you a second mother! They are happy and have a good life. While we can't fiddle with Lisa's papa. Because the treasure fell into Diko's hands."

"Mump you brought Diko to use him to destroy them" said Riana excitedly.

Lisa who heard that clenched her hands together. It was unexpected that his stepmom was after his papa treasure. All this time she knew Riana as a good mother.

"I have to save Diko!" Lisa picks up her bag following Diko and Lani.

"You're after Diko." Lisa replied stammeredly.

"Just wait, Diko and Lani are on their way home." Riana is still trying to hold the child.

"I don't want Diko to be your tool!"

Riana raised her eyebrows. Shocked to see the reaction of the child. Is it possible that Lisa heard their talk? Riana hopes that Lisa will not know about the purpose of her marriage to her father.

"What are you talking about?" Riana pretended to be shocked.

"I said don't use children. I don't know your purpose on the family of his boss Lani. That's none of my business. But for sure I will report you to the police station."

The sound of the car was heard from the front. Lisa immediately rushed towards the sister's car. Folding both hands, a sharp look towards the car. The car door opened, looking like a child walking staggered with feet in full bandages. Of course he was surprised by his son's feet.

"Why are your legs, son?" ask Lisa carefully.

Diko who had been looking at Lani now lowered her head again. There was a fear of whipping the four-year-old. There was no response from Diko.

"Diko's out of my sight, brother. Continuously taking chocolate milk hit the bride who was entertaining guests. Brother know what happened? Diko fell into a glass. And his bride was wounded. Who's that because of? Because of this fucking kid!"

"Lani! he's not a fucking kid. But you're the one who can't take care of him. Then take the kids to the evening party. A party that's not his domain."

"The man wants to come. He cried at living alone. My mom had some business, so I brought it. You usually come home late afternoon when the night has not come home."

"I'm late, so go home tonight." Lisa crouched down parallel to Diko. Lisa felt her son was terrified.

"Mama, that aunt also got glass. There's a lot of blood, Diko's afraid." Lisa hugged her son.

Flashback off

Diko wakes up to see her mother daydreaming. He wanted to walk but his legs still hurt.

"Mama,"

"Mommy's son is up, you don't have to go to school first, yeah. Mama asked for permission not to work."

"Mama, Diko wants to talk."

"What's the matter, son?"

"Mama, Diko was threatened with Aunt Lani. Said that Diko wouldn't go after him. Diko will stay alone in that place. Scared of me, Ma."

"Emang Aunt Lani told you what?"

"Said Aunty Lani, Aunty who wears a wedding dress is a bad person. The bride's aunt has taken possession of Aunt Lani. He said the bad guys should be exterminated.

Aunt Lani told Diko to hit the bride's aunt. Let the clothes get dirty. But when it comes to falling, Diko slipped and the glass broke. The bride's aunt will hold Diko. But she slipped." Diko told her mother. All this time he always told his mother anything.

"Oh my God, son." Lisa hugged Diko tightly. She did not expect Lani to use Diko for her envious affairs.

"Said Aunty Lani, Diko if the story is actually the same mom. Left the police station."
