Butterfly In You
Chapter 52: Nugie Mahardika

The inscription "Dear Mother", is listed on the screen of Lilis' current phone. He was about to call his mother-Nining, after Shehan previously told Lilis that a piece of land in Banyuwangi had been bought by the man.

Ddrrc ... Ddrrc ... Ddrrc ....

Nining's third ring receives a phone call from Lilis and begins to chat with her daughter from across the street.

"Hello, Lis. How are you and your husband, son?"

"We're both good, Mom. How's Mom and Doni doing?"

"Mother and Doni are also healthy here."

"Thank God. Mom, there's something Lilis wants to say. Mas Shehan has bought a piece of land in Banyuwangi. Mas Shehan's men arranged it. Later in the day if Mom has time, that person will come to our house. Want to take Mom and Doni to see the location."

Nining was happy to hear this good news.

"Thank you very much, Lis. Tell your husband too, thank you very much."

"Yes, Mom. Later Lilis expressed her gratitude to Mas Shehan. About after lunch, Mas Shehan's men would come. Mom and Doni don't forget to get ready, yeah."

"Yes, Lis. Coincidentally Doni also did not go to college later in the day. There's a change in the course schedule on the campus."

At that time, Lilis who was at Sunflower Kindergarten saw Nurbanu had left the classroom. The little boy walked down the school corridor hand in hand with Sofia - his classmates. Behind the two boys, Mother Mutia appeared to walk with her.

"Alright, Mom. The phone was, yes. Nurbanu has come home and is out of his classroom."

"Yes, Lis. Be careful on the road. I send greetings to your husband."

"Yes, Mom. Mr. Maman drove us. I take care of health. Lilis hang up now on her phone."

"Yes, Lis."

Tut ... Tut ... Tut ....

After storing the phone back into the sling bag that Lilis was wearing, the girl went to Nurbanu who was near the distance.

"Sister Lilis!" Nurbanu ran over, hugging Lilis.

Mutia's mother holding her son's hand smiled behind her back. Lilis returned the smile while nodding briefly.

"How was school? The lesson is hard, isn't it?" ask Lilis to her foster children.

"No, Brother Lilis. Perceptible. Brother Lilis, we're going to Sofia's house, yuk! Sofia's got a new Barbie doll." Nurbanu whines typical of small children.

Lilis exchanged friendly looks with Mother Mutia.

"So Sofia, too, said so. I want to invite Nurbanu to play together, he said. Go, Lilis! Play to my house. We just go get in my car." Mother Mutia chimed.

"Come on, Brother Lilis!" whinek Nurbanu again.

"Alright, Mom. But I told my husband first, yeah."

"Please."

Lilis reached out and grabbed her phone again from inside the bag. He quickly typed in a short message for Shehan.

(Lilis: Afternoon, Mas. Nurbanu today took her to Mother Mutia's house. Play with Sofia. We went there in Mutia's mother's car.)

Lilis kept her phone back. Not forgetting he told Mr. Maman to go home first. Then he along with Mother Mutia, Sofia and also Nurbanu left.

In the middle of the road, Shehan just replied to a message from Lilis. Maybe that guy was busy working. (Shehan: Yes, it's okay. Watch them play and don't come home too late.)

After reading the message, Lilis then replied. (Late : Yes Mas.)

Four glasses of orange juice on a tray were being carried by Mother Mutia into the living room. The room is meant to relax. Moreover, its position is adjacent to a small garden and swimming pool.

One by one the glasses are placed on a table made of rattan. Here are two porcelain dishes containing pieces of cake and three jars containing other snacks.

"Please taste it, Lilis!"

"Thank you, Mom."

The two women were friendly.

"I'll go to the kitchen first, yeah. I'm returning the tray."

"Yes, Mom."

"Lunter! Sophia! Come on, drink the juice!" Lilis offered while offering two drinks to each of the children mentioned by name. The boys were excited.

"Yeah! Funny!"

Lekas Nurbanu and Sofia pressed their juice until it stayed half. Then continue the game that was delayed. Not long after, Mother Mutia came again and sat down beside Lilis.

"Nurbanu is hard to eat no, if at home?" ask Mutia's mother, start a conversation about the chat of the mothers.

"It's hard sometimes, Mom. It wants to eat fried sausage, fried nuggets, fried meatballs. That'sthat's all. But I'm trying to serve vegetables and other foods with the form of character on the plate. Finally want to eat too after seeing the food menu is beautiful."

"Sofia is too. Difficult to eat vegetables. He wants to eat candy, ice send, chocolate. Sometimes his teeth hurt. Just stopped eating."

"The names are children too, Mom. Ahaha!"

The two women laughed at their jokes. The jovial babbles of children playing also satirize this peaceful atmosphere.

"Oh, yes. Nurbanu said, Lilis is married to her papa, huh?"

Asked such a question, Tetiba Lilis was embarrassed. His cheeks were red.

"That's .. yes, ma'am. We just got married."

"Gee, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Mom."

"I know Sarah too. Her birth mother Nurbanu. People friendly. Nurbanu's father was also good. But if you are not a match, what to say, yes. Our job is just to live and hope for the best."

"Yes, Mom. I still have good communication with Sister Sarah."

Ning Ting! Ning Ting!

The engrossed conversation was interrupted because the sound of the doorbell suddenly sounded.

Ning Ting! Ning Ting!

"Maybe it's my sister. He said he wanted to come. Just a minute, Lis."

"Yes, Mom. It's okay."

Mutia's mother got up, opened the door and saw who was coming. It was true that the woman thought that her younger brother had come.

"Eh, Nugie! Coming, yuk!"

"This is Brother to Sofia." The young man sweetly lined up with dimples as he smiled as he thrust out the hand he was carrying.

"Thank you, yeah." Mutia's mother accepted her sister's gift. "Why bother, anyway?"

"No, kok. Just happened to be on the way here, there is a new macaron cake shop opened. So stop for a minute, try buying."

"Oh, so. Yuk, in!"

Nugie enters the living room after being invited, then hears the voices of Lilis, Nurbanu and Sofia playing.

"There's a guest, brother. Who's coming?" ask the young man while walking with his sister.

"Oh, that's ... Nurbanu and his mother came to visit."

Nugie had looked into the living room and was immediately surprised to see Lilis.

"That's who?"

"That's Nurbanu's mother."

"Huh? Nurbanu. Very young!"

"Sstt ... Don't be hard!" Soon Mother Mutia gave a code of silence. "That's Mama. Not her real mom."

"Oh, Papa Nurbanu got married again?"

"Yes, he's been divorced with his first wife for a long time."

Nugie understood.
