Bia, the Substitute Mother
The Bia and Semi

Sometimes someone still tries to give him time to be aware of what he is doing. Time can also make everything change.

~Bia Quinsa Altafunisha's

I don't know how long Bia's been asleep. The woman with the belly that was already visible was starting to open her eyes. He felt dizzy and made her hold his head slowly.

The smell of the medicine around her had already made Bia remember if she was in the hospital. His head looked a little. He remembered someone he had seen before he was unconscious.

But what he was looking for was nobody. The room was quiet. Empty and only himself there.

"Where is Mas Shaka?" Mumbled Bia by looking around her.

The woman felt uncomfortable on her back. It seems like too long he slept, making Bia certainly feel tired. Finally, without anyone's help. Bia tried to sit down. However, just as he was about to try it himself, a door open made Bia turn her head.

"What do you want, Bi?"

"Semi?" Bia said surprised. "You still here?"

"Would you like to sit down?" Ask Semi who didn't answer Bia's question first. "Let me help!"

"Eh but… "

"I'm holding you with a shirt cloth, Bi. Come on!"

Bia certainly can't do anything. Moreover, he also wanted to sit on his back and make him inevitably have to accept Semi's help.

"Where is Mas Shaka?"

"Why did you hide everything from me, Bi?" Semi asked who again did not answer Bia's question. "Why did you become Shaka's second wife? Why you… "

"That's my business!" Seriously, Bia firmly. "You have no right to interfere!"

"I have no rights. But I really know how Shaka and Dhira are, Bi."

"I also know how Dhira. Why would you want to?"

"That's my business!"

He really won't answer. The woman had no intention of answering anything because she really had no answer to Semi's question.

All of this he wanted to keep to himself. What he has decided is the right decision.

"Don't hurt yourself, Bi," Oozed Semi slowly. "Don't… "

"What do you know, about me?" Sela Bia slowly. "What huh?"

"Have you forgotten what you did first?" Bia's crying, which is starting to lose control.

Ah still remind! Pregnant women are easily sensitive. He is also easily provoked by his anger because his mood goes up and down.

"Have you forgotten what you said to do me?"

"You said I was a trashy woman, I was ******. I'm not gonna get any more men. No one will accept me with my shortcomings. No one will accept me… "

"Enough!"

"Why? Do you remember?" Exclaimed Bia with reddened eyes. "I'm doing this just wanting to help Madam Dhira and Mas Shaka. I just want to be a useful person."

"At least at the end of my day I won't get a decent life. I can still make a couple of families happy."

"Bi.". "Semi who feels insinuated and self-conscious. "I'm sorry!"

"I really don't know if you… "

"The story is always there and I will always remember!" Reply to Bia with flowing tears. "It's all happened and now! I don't regret being at this point."

Bia said everything honestly. Yeah, he's not sorry. He won't regret what he's decided.

As for Semi, the man really regretted as he wished. Regretting his attitude and grudges in the past that made a woman's future ruined.

"I'm sorry" Lirih Semi lowered her head.

"I've forgiven you for a long time. Don't apologize. Everything cannot be repeated. All we can do now is just try to be the best!" Reply to Bia slowly which makes Semi slowly raise her gaze.
