When is Wikra Adult?


I thought Wikra had changed, could trust Ahin to her and leave quietly. Apparently, humans cannot change their skin. The nature of Wikra's only penance worries me.


"Where's dad?" ask Ahin.


"Papa's work, he'll come home."


I lied, it's been two days Wikra's gone. Didn't want to see Kalea who proved her biological child. The innocent girl was not used to this house and kept looking for her mother. It makes me dizzy.


"Father don't like Ila, Ila pelgi's torment." Ahin asked Kalea to go and let her father come home. He realized the source of the disharmony of this family was the coming of Kalea.


I sighed heavily, crouching to compensate for Ahin's height. Swabbing her stained cheeks.


"Ahin can't do that, Kalea is Ahin's sister, as Ahin's sister should be able to take care of Kalea."


The little boy shook his head, from the very beginning rejecting the presence of another child from his father. Even if it's a cute and beautiful Kalea. I'm confused to explain.


"Ain wants Papa" said Ahin. He rebelled and ran to his room.


This is hard, not only for Wikra but also for Ahin. Wikra should not vent anger on a child who knows nothing, as a man should he take responsibility and make amends. Instead of going like this and making Ahin hate Kalea.


I stood up, did not catch up with Ahin and went to Kalea's room, instead of Wikra or Ahin, it was Kalea who had to be pitied. The little boy must be confused as to why suddenly his mother put him here.


I knocked on the door before entering, he had been here for two days and just locked himself in the room, not coming out and crying at night. I asked one of the servants to take care of it before finding a nanny.


"Lea, where are you?" I'm looking around.


The spacious room did not appear to be a 3-year-old girl, Kalea was only 10 months from Ahin. You could say they were the same age. But Ahin got to school sooner, Wikra said, so that Ahin wouldn't be bothered to see my treatment.


Wikra told the principal that it turned out to be a close friend, if like Ahin was not able and had to stay in class. Doesn't matter. We just want Ahin to be cheerful with her friends.


"Lea, playing with Auntie Yuk?"


I'm looking into the bathroom, he can't shower himself, just pee himself still helped. But why isn't the waitress I assigned here? It seems they ignored Kalea.


I searched every corner, from under the bed to the curtains. But I didn't find Kalea. I opened the closet, picked up the clothes and found Kalea sitting there crying in silence.


I crouched down, Kalea looked scared. He hugged a Teddy bear. My heart saw it. Slowly my hands stretched out rubbing my head.


"Kalea why is it here?" my many.


He slowly lifted his face, returning my gaze with tears. My finger stretched out through the little girl's tears.


".... Ila ngin Mom. Ila ngen Mama."


My heart is like it is sliced, can not say that yesterday her mother went to bring her husband to America to leave her alone.


"Mama Kalea again work, Kalea was told to stay here first with Aunt, Mama said Kalea can consider Aunt, Mama Kalea too." 


"Replace apan?"


"If Kalea is a good boy, Kalea will meet Mama."


The boy lowered his head again, drowning his face between his bent legs. "Mama hates Ila. Papa hates Ila."


"Dear, Mama and Papa Ila never hated Ila. But now Ila has to stay here first with Auntie."


Instead of subsiding, Kalea even more crying. He realized he had been banished. Yumna said her husband did not want to accept after knowing Kalea son of Wikra. There should be a little affection even without blood ties.


I'm so sorry about that, Kalea must be in shock to suddenly be hated by the man who had been considered father. He also has to live in a foreign place and feel alone.


"There's aunty, Kalea don't cry."


I carried Kalea in a sling, trying to calm her by showing her a fish pond and a playground.


"Neli, please call Ahin to the playground."


"Good Mistress."


Now it was afternoon, it was time for Ahin to eat a snack, along with Kalea. From today I have two children. Bringing them together as brothers is the biggest challenge.


"Mama!" Call Ahin, he ran towards me. Her face did not like seeing my closeness to Kalea.


The swing of Kalea stopped, I lowered it, holding the little hand over to Ahin.


"Ahin should now be familiar with Dek Ila huh?" I said.


Ahin looked dislikeful, she threw away her face and did not want to shake hands. I sighed heavily and lifted Kalea sitting on the chair, rubbing her hair while giving her strawberries.


"Neli, please watch."


Neli nodded, he stepped up near Kalea who was eating strawberries. Ahin was just watching.


"Ahin, come with Mama's back."


I held the 4-year-old's hand. It is unfair for Ahin to understand the situation at an early age. Moreover, he is still unfortunate with Wikra, now must share because of the arrival of Kalea.


After we walked quite far from Kalea, I held onto both of Ahin's shoulders and squatted balancing our bodies.


"Her heart doesn't like Ila."


Though I haven't said anything, but Ahin's already glazed over. He was hurt by the presence of Kalea. I hugged him, rubbing that sobbing little back.


Although Ahin is intelligent, she is still a 4-year-old. I understand his worries.


"Ahl... Mama and Papa love you very much, but Ila. she was abandoned by her mother, while Papa did not want to accept Ila. If not Ahin as her sister accompanied Ila, then who else?


"Try shadowin, how about Ahin who became Ila. Died by Mama, not liked by Papa and Ahin just alone. Ahin must be really sad, right?"


Ahin nodded in my arms, she wiped away her own tears. Forced to mature and understanding at this small age.


"Will not be left. Ain wants to be the same Mama's telus."


I hugged my son more and more, and Yumna could have just left him, while I struggled to survive to be with the child.


What I fear is not death, but what will be the fate of my son after I'm gone. Wikra is not reliable at all.


Ahin let go of her embrace, I wiped away the tears on her cheeks. "Now Ahin is eating the same fruit Dek Ila?"


The boy nodded, we went back to where we were. Eat fruit together next to the pool. I'm tired of calling Wikra, let her do what. I was disappointed in him running away from trouble.


On the third day, Wikra came home late at night drunk. Lucky the kids are asleep. Wikra was raving so obscurely that I had trouble getting her into the room.


He came back the way he was, I exhaled a heavy breath. He opened his shoes and tried to cover them. As I was about to leave, Wikra pulled my hand. He sat. Then crying.


"Fey! You must be laughing again I got karma, right? Now I have karma! Haha."


I sat on the bed, looking at it as a mess. There was alcohol everywhere. He looks so crazy.


"I never laugh you get karma, it's too short of your mind to think of Kalea as karma. Conscious! You're the head of the family, when did you grow up?"


Wikra. "I'm ashamed to go home, I'm ashamed to have abandoned my children. I'm ashamed to meet you I've hurt so many times."


Turns out that's what Wikra thinks, I don't think she wants to admit to Kalea. "If you're ashamed, fix it instead of running!"


I'm upset.
