Bia, the Substitute Mother
She's just a Child-Giving Woman

...A relationship that should be so beautiful and sacred turns out to be a hopeless memory for a reason. ...

...~Bia Quinsa Altafunisha...

...****************...

Today a simple wedding between Shaka and Bia is held in Dhira's apartment. An apartment that has not been inhabited for a long time, is now a place where two humans who do not love each other. A secret marriage that takes place among the people who come.

"You are legal to be husband and wife now" said one of the elders who married the two religiously. "Please sign here."

Shaka was silent. He feels like a dejavu now. The man stared in disbelief if he had said the word akad again but not the name of his wife he called. Except for the name of another woman.

"Mas," Call Dhira slowly which makes Shaka turn his head.

His heart ached as his wife's eyes turned red with tears streaming down his face. Honestly, Shaka knows his wife is the one who's hurt the most here. However, everything that happened on the basis of an agreement between his wife and the woman who just a few minutes ago was legitimately his wife as well.

"Quick the signature, Mas. Come on!"

Like a robot that complies. Finally Shaka signed the paper with a blank look. He's like an undead man who just obeyed his wife's request. Honestly, Shaka doesn't want to be in this position. He doesn't want to marry again. However, he had to do everything for the sake of their marriage.

"Don't cry" Lirih Shaka slowly made Dhira force her smile.

"I'm fine, Mas. All this for us. For the sake of our marriage," said Dhira who made Shaka nod.

Alternately Bia eventually needs a signature on that seal. He stared at the paper as well with a mixed look. His eyes glanced at the man who had been silent since then with clenched hands.

A man very close to her. The man who wanted to be a witness to her marriage. The man who had a blood tie with her since just now was just silent and lowered his head.

"thank you. I'll go home" Pamit pak penghulu who married the two.

"Congratulations, Ka. Today is the beginning of Lo's happiness" said Arthir Shaka, Shaka's older brother.

The completion of all events. Finally, Bia walked towards the main door of the apartment. The woman was standing right in front of the man who had been staring at her with a look of pity.

"Don't pity me, brother. I'm fine," said Bia who made the man sigh heavily.

"Sorry Abra" said Abra, Bia's older brother, and hugged him.

The sister calms each other down. Both are very understanding of each other.

"Because your brother has to experience this, Bi. Brother… "

"That's fate," Sela Bia while letting go of their embrace. "Nothing to be sorry about. It's all happened, brother."

Bia still had time to display her friendly smile. He stared at his older brother so calmly.

"Honestly Brother has not agreed with this action of yours but.." Pause Abraham by staring at his brother's eyes. "I can't believe you have a reason for all this."

"I just want to help them, brother. I just want to help them have children."

"Remember the message Brother! If he messes around, be rude or hit you. Tell Brother! Okay?"

Bia nodded. She hugged her sister again with great affection.

"Thank you for always being there, Bia. Keep this a secret, brother. Don't let Mom and Dad know."

...****************...

After the departure of his brother. Bia finally sat quietly on the sofa of the apartment. He stared at the ring that had been embedded in his finger.

"Diliatin powder. It won't be a ring road, Bi," said Arthir, taking a seat in front of Bia.

The woman smiled. "Beauty huh? It must be expensive."

Arthir chuckles. He nodded his head at the wives of his two brothers.

"That's a real diamond. So expensive," said Arthir who made both eyeballs Bia membola.

"certain. He's very rich, Bi. My sister was a hard worker all this time" said Arthir who made Bia nod her head.

"Where are you from?" Arthir said that made Bia turn to the husband and wife who had just come. "What are you doing? There's lipstick on the tip of your lip, Ka!"

"Well. I told you what it was. Wash your face first but you don't want to" said Dhira who replied indifferently by Shaka.

The man chose to sit on a longer chair with his hands unbroken over his hands with Dhira.

"Please first. There's Bia!" Said Dhira but not praised by Shaka.

Bia just looked down. He is not a child who does not know what he has done. Yet, still. The girl is self-conscious. What should he do here, what purpose and what use.

"You're ready, right? Your plane will fly in 3 hours" said Dhira who made Shaka turn.

"Where are you going?"

"To Singapore, Mas."

"Singapore?" Repeat Shaka with a frown. "We… "

"Not us but you and Bia" Dhira explained.

"What! Why didn't you tell me?" Shaka exclaimed with intonation that started high.

"As already! Don't start again. You have to honeymoon with Bia for our plan to work. You want us to stay like this or… "

"Yes I want to" Sela Shaka quickly.

He didn't like his wife mentioning his mother's plan. He didn't like Dhira saying divorce between them.

Because it's not gonna happen. Any time! Never expect a divorce.

"Thank you, Mum. Thank you very much" Dhira said with a sick look.

"Gue wait in the car well," Pamit Arthir on Shaka and Dhira.

"Bia's coming, Mas. Bia also wants to find the wind" said Bia who finally left Shaka and Dhira there.

After both are alone. Shaka slowly pulled his wife in a hug. He hugged the woman who soon began to cry quietly.

There's nothing both can do. Everything happens because of parental pressure. According to Dhira, rather than her parting it was better for her to choose a path like this.

"You have to promise me, Mom. You will not fall in love with Bia. You're only doing this because of a child for us. You can't flirt with her for too long!" Said Dhira saying that by letting go of her embrace.

She pointed at Shaka's face and said everything with her face soaked in tears.

"Honey. Hey look at me!" Shaka said then cupped both sides of Dhira's face slowly. "You don't believe me?"

"I'm scared, Mom. I'm afraid she took me away from you" Lirih Dhira slowly told Shaka.

The man's head shook. "I'll just love you. My heart is for you, Dhir. So don't worry about anything. You trust me enough."

"I keep your promise, huh?"

"certain. Hold this promise. She's just a woman who's gonna give us a child. She's just a woman who's gonna make our happiness happen."

Without both knowing. Bia's figure was near the door of the apartment with her body sculpted as her ears heard such painful words from Shaka's lips.

"And you should be aware of your position, Bi!" He told himself.
