Bia, the Substitute Mother
Dhira Return

...It turns out that this togetherness is only temporary and not real and eternal. ...

...~Bia Quinsa Altafunisha...

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

Bia opened her eyes. I don't know how long he's been asleep. His hands rubbed and patted the bed beside him. Empty there's no one. Bia's eyes are spontaneously wide open. He looked to the side and sure enough. There was no husband there.

The woman stared at the wall clock. The hour hand shows at five o'clock in the afternoon. Bia spontaneously slowly straightened her body. He got up and lowered his legs slowly.

The pregnant woman was out of the room. She looked for the figure of her husband and finally her forehead wrinkled. He stared at the figure of a woman wearing simple clothes in her kitchen.

"Who's dad?" Ask Bia gently.

Before long, the woman turned around.

"Non Bia is awake?" Ask the woman who Bia just saw and met this time.

Bia feels foreign. Yes, obviously he was unfamiliar with this woman in front of him.

"It has. Emm… "

"Know me Aunt Mar. I was asked by Mr. Shaka to look after Non Bia" Aunt Mar said politely. "I'm sorry, Non. Sassy rummaging through the kitchen, Non Bia."

Bia shaking. He smiled with a feeling of relief when he knew who this woman in front of him was.

"No papa, Bi. Aunty can do it in the kitchen Bia," said Bia by sitting on the dining table chair.

"Non Bia wants what?"

"Make me green tea, Bi?" Ask Bia politely.

Aunt Mar laughed a little. "It's home, Non. Aunt is also Non Bia's servant. So No has the right to ask for anything."

Bia just cengegesan. Then his eyes shifted. He looked around and there was no Shaka there.

"Non nyariin Mr Shaka?"

"Gee!" Bia.

He scratched his non-itchy head when his movements were caught by others.

"Emm that, Bi… "

"Mr Shaka said hello. Please tell Non Bia that you have to go home. You get an impromptu phone call from the office and can't be left behind" said Aunt Mar who inexplicably made both corners of Bia's lips curved upwards.

He stared in disbelief. He can't believe that everything he's done, he's not a dream. What happened to him and Shaka last night is real.

"There's a lot of ya, Bi," said Bia with a satisfied smile.

"Together, Non!"

Finally Aunt Mar went on to make green tea. He also asked what places and materials were everywhere he was in Bia. He was polite and taught everything.

Telling and saying what Aunt asked of him.

"Auntie's been with Dhira for a long time?"

"More precisely I follow Mr. Shaka, Non," Aunt Mar confirmed.

Bia's forehead is wrinkled. He held his head with both hands.

"What do you mean, Bi?"

"I am a loyal servant, Mr. Shaka. Since childhood Mr. Shaka was with me and I took care of him" said Aunt Mar who made Bia's eyes widen in disbelief.

He straightened his body. He tried to neutralize his heartbeat with this shocking news.

"So Aunt… "

"Auntie knows everything" said Aunt Mar and brought the green tea and put it on the table.

"Auntie knows everything. Mr. Shaka told me all the same Auntie," said Aunt Mar standing by the dining table.

"Sit, Bi. Sit down!" Said Bia asking.

Finally she was the other woman of that age sitting opposite each other. Aunt Mar could look at Bia's face with satisfaction.

"Auntie thinks which woman can sincerely do that," He continued, which made Bia's smile more bitter.

"Auntie didn't believe it at first. But when I see Non Bia. So Aunt believes that there are still good people in this world," said Aunt Mar who made Bia mixed feelings.

"Bia did it for the money, Bi," said Bia who made Aunt Mar shake her head.

"Auntie doesn't believe it. Non Bia is a doctor. No way Non Bia is that miserable. Auntie's sure there's another reason behind all this.

Bia was seen gulping down his saliva forcefully. But he tried to be calm.

"Auntie doesn't know what Non Bia's reasons are. But Aunt is happy, Master remarries a good woman like Non Bia."

Bia. Her tears trickled as her ears heard the word good.

She a good woman? How good he thinks.

He's become trash. No good and no longer holy. He is only looked at one eye by a man who will know his past.

"Money!" Said Aunt Mar which made Bia surprised.

"Yes, Bi?"

"Auntie's permission to learn Non Bia's kitchen floor plan first well," Pamit Aunty Mar who made Bia smile.

"Good, Bi. Aunt calm down and make it comfortable. I won't give you any rules."

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

Time doesn't feel like it's late at night. The hour hand showed at seven o'clock in the evening. A man had just come and set foot on the porch of his house. Her footsteps were heavy with her head turning that hurt.

Shaka, the man pushed the door of his house. He loosened his tight-feeling tie. His body was tired but somehow his lips smiled with relief.

The shadow of his wife's face. As the shadow of Bia's face twisted in her head. Until finally a voice call that he was very familiar with made him look up.

"Darling," Shaka chuckled in surprise. "You home?"

Dhira is seen running from inside. Then she hugged Shaka tightly.

"Aren't you angry with me? You're not really angry, are you?"

Dhira's head shook. She hugged her husband very tightly.

"No, Mas. I'm really sorry about you."

Shaka let go of her embrace. He cupped both sides of Dhira's face. Kissing those lips so fondly made Dhira start to return the kiss.

"I'm happy, honey. You are not angry at last. Sorry me dad? I'm sorry for letting you down with me" said Shaka with a look that really showed regret.

Dhira. He looked at those two eyes tightly.

"You really don't like it, do you, Mas?"

Shaka shakes. He rubbed the side of his wife's face slowly.

"Bia too plain, dear. I love him because of our son. Bia can't have much of a thought. Remember your friend! She must continue to be happy" said Shaka who made Dhira look at her husband intently.

"You really are. No boong?"

Shaka nodded. "I'm serious, honey."

"I believe in you, Mum!" Dhira said which made Shaka nod.

"I also believe in you, dear," Shaka said sincerely.

"If you really love me. Don't get close to Bia! Don't go to his house but with me. Don't pick up the phone from her except me. Okay?"

Shaka nodded. He said it without a second thought. However, his love for Dhira is greater. His love for his first wife was greater and greater for him.

"I will obey everything you ask, my dear. But for sure, you should never get angry again and leave!"
