BECOMING HONEY'S SISTER
Inculpation

Ayu is still hysterical. Not only was she angry, she was crying. While I who was confused could only stand pecking within a few meters of him. Actually I've been trying to get closer, even intend to hug him to calm mbak Tau, but he pushed, even glared, as a sign of not being approached by me.

"Ahhhhhh, you are really brash!" he's still hysterical.

Still in a state of anger, Hana suddenly entered my room. He hugged his mother who was angry while crying. "Umi why?" tanyakanya. "Who's fighting Umi?"

Ayu's mother shook her head. He hurriedly wiped his tears. Then forced a smile on his lips. "What's the matter Na? Why is Hana here?" ask Ayu to her eldest daughter.

"Oma told Hana to call Aunt Mila. He said it was time to go." replied Hana.

"Huh? Continue Abi? Abi is leaving now? Duh, how's this? Time to go now? He said ba'dan Maghrib. How the hell are you Oma!" in a panic Ayu immediately passed out, leaving me and Hana who were still dumb.

"What did Auntie do to Umi? Why is Umi crying?" Hana looked at me suspiciously.

"Aunty doesn't say Han, Aunt just ...."

"What only? Why should Auntie come into our lives? We don't need an aunt. We don't want a new mother, we already have an umi and we share it with Umi!"

"Sorry Hana, but ...."

"But what?"

"Your mother asked Aunt to marry your Abi."

"But Auntie doesn't have to accept it. Aunt should have rejected Umi's request. Auntie has made our family a mess. Umi is suffering more and more due to the presence of Auntie. What the hell understands that? And at any time, we Abi and Umi children will never accept the presence of Aunty. Understand!" the little girl came out of my room slamming the door.

I who was shocked by his attitude could only stroke the chest. This complex turns out to be a polygamous life. I know they didn't like me in the first place, but I didn't expect that much of a child's hatred for me. I didn't mean to be evil. Didn't Ayu ever communicate all this with her children? Or they are the ones who cannot accept it.

If Ayu and Ilham know their children do not accept it, why should be desperate to live it all? Tired, I am really tired of thinking about all this.

I and Ilham went to the hotel at the top escorted by the mother driver. All the way there was not a word that came out of the mouth of Inspiration. He just kept quiet, staring out the window. Confused, I did the same. The two-hour trip was really boring.

When my eyes fell asleep, suddenly Ileham's voice sounded. He shook my arm slowly. As soon as both of my eyes opened, though not perfect, he then said that we had arrived.

Sure enough, now in front of me was a big five-star hotel. We both walked a distance. Mas Ilham first, while I followed behind while carrying my cloth bag.

"Come in!" mas Ilham said, when we were in front of the hotel room door. "I have to go out for a while" he said.

Room door's closed. I could only stare at the luxurious room with the classic design. Even so beautiful but feels empty because now I'm alone. To be honest it's a bit hard to spend time with Ilham, but seeing him so cold makes me feel empty.

To pass the time, after the prayer, I arranged the clothes in the closet. Not forgetting to put the suitcase Ilham also. Then switch to see the night view from behind the window of the room.

Real pretty. Even though it was night, but the twinkling lights outside of the skyscrapers in Jakarta made me amazed. Later, one day, I don't know when, I hope to bring Yumna here. My little girl must really like it, especially in every hotel room there is a bath tub. He could be content to swim without fear of leeches like when swimming at times near our hut.

"Hem," Ilham cleared his throat. Apparently he's home. "Why not sleep?" Ask.

Sleep on? Oh, it turns out he left long enough to wish I had fallen asleep first. I smiled cynically. How can I sleep when I'm with a cold person who always makes me confused.

If he wasn't comfortable in my room, he should have denied his mother's gift or ordered another room. A lot of money. It does not feel heavy to spend a few dollars for the sake of mutual comfort.

"Why don't we just go home?" my many.

"Why should I go home? You want to scold mom?" he asked back.

"Oh, so afraid of being scolded by mom." I smiled cynically.

"What's wrong with you guys?" I can't hold myself anymore. These two people really confused me. Those who present me in their marriage but after that join me just like that. At least tell me what to do!

"meaning?"

"Why are you confusing me?"

"You guys?"

"Yes. You and Mbak Ayu!"

"How's the mountain?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid. Know what I mean. Why inhabit me as if I am just a maid in your big house. To serve your extended family. If so, why not be honest from the beginning. Speak clearly so that I can also put myself well and do not need to part with my daughter!"

"Why do you think like that? Oh, this must be room, or homework. Ayu arranged all this. I also just found out that you sleep in the maid's room. And for homework, there is mbok Asih, if you do not want ya do not do. Who told you to work? Or Ayu also told you to work like mbok Asih?"

""Ahhh come on, I'm really confused by you guys. Now tell me the truth. No need to disfigure Ayu. Because you two are the same!"

"What should I explain."

"What kind of marriage do you want. Why demand so much from me but I get nothing? Why make me confused? Why am I silenced when I feel I have nothing wrong! If you want to find a maid, why pretend to say you want to find a wife? If you don't want me why bring me into your life? Why not just bring me back? Why?"

"I understand now. What are you worrying about. But before I explain everything, you're the first one who has to explain to me all this!" Mas Ilham showed me his phone. There, I saw a picture of me with Farid. There were some pictures, while I was at the hotel, also in the park when he lent me a book. "Now, can you explain?" he turned back to glare at me.
