Cira and the middle-aged woman he knew, were sitting on a concrete bench in the playground of the children's home. The mistress was so happy to meet the girl in front of her, a girl who was expected to help her family in trouble.
"Honey. These few months, auntie's been dying to see you. Someone wants aunt to talk to you. " Say the middle-aged woman.
"Yes aunt, what's wrong?" Cira asked with her shady and ayu look, looking very beautiful in the eyes of the mistress.
"You're so pretty and ayu. Do you have a boyfriend, baby?" Ask the madam directly at the core of her goal.
The madam had a goal to make Cira a member of her family. The middle-aged woman wanted to match Cira with her son. He hoped that Cira and her son could marry and give her a granddaughter to the heir of his family.
The mind that gets a personal question, is still glued. Not usually the woman in front of him will ask for personal problems if they meet.
He asks if Cira has a lover? Sure it used to be, he had it. He even loved his lover so much that it was his first love and lover. Now no longer, it was more precisely impossible for them to be united, after what Cira was currently living for.
Not a lover Cira had, but a husband. How does Cira say it? Should she be honest about the contract marriage? The marriage will end at the appointed time. Can it be called a wedding.
He should say the answer he thinks is safe.
"What's up, baby? Why are you silent? You don't have a lover, do you?" Ask and guess the lady. That was what he expected from Cira who became his main target. He hoped that the girl before him would not have a lover, in order to make it easier for the matchmaking he had planned.
"No aunt. I don't have a lover. Exactly again, it was over a few months ago." The reply is to remember Bayu who has not given a decision in their relationship, a relationship that must end due to the issue of marriage contract with Bara the uncle.
"Which foolish man has broken up with you? You're so beautiful and look perfect, she's so stupid to lose a girl like you love."
"No aunt. It's not him who's stupid, but I'm the one who's stupid for leaving a man as good as him. She was my first love and boyfriend." He said he felt uncomfortable if someone cursed the innocent Bayu.
"really. Why did you leave him?" He said he looked sad because he saw the look of sadness from Cira's face.
"I made a mistake with him. Unforgivable mistake, I have betrayed him, aunt." Honest Cira. Success made the mistress surprised by Cira's confession of her betrayal.
"Defying him." Deuteronomy.
There was an uneasy feeling in his heart hearing a girl as beautiful and as good as Cira had betrayed. Back he thought if maybe Cira was suitable to be the wife of his son? But the deepest feeling does not believe if Cira has dared to betray.
"Tante was surprised to hear that I had betrayed my lover yes…!" He smiled bitterly at the surprised look of the madam.
"Yes of course the aunt was surprised. But auntie is sure you have your own reasons for daring to do that?"
Cira smiles. He is happy because there are still people who believe in him, if he is not in the wrong position. Bara and Mona are guilty here, they are guilty in their lives now.
"Auntie's right. I have my own reasons for doing that." Cira's words chimed in on the mistress' words.
"Already aunt. Forget about my problem. What does my aunt want to talk to me about?" Cira asked at the middle-aged woman's initial intentions.
The madam was silent. How to tell that matchmaking idea to Cira who just broke up? He was not sure if Cira wanted to make the match. But he has to try.
"Actually, the aunt asked you already have a lover or not, because you want to match you with your aunt's son, baby. Auntie wants you to be a son-in-law and give our family a granddaughter the next heir."
Success surprised Cira. How could he have done that matchmaking idea? She is now married and pregnant. That wouldn't be possible.
"Sorry aunt, it doesn't seem like a good idea. Thank you in advance, if aunty has any hope of making me a aunt's son-in-law. I don't deserve that. I can't humiliate people as good as aunt and family. There are still girls and women who are more deserving of aunty's son." Refuse it subtly.
"Why do you say it is inappropriate to be the wife of a aunt's son. You are even very worthy and suitable to be his wife and aunt's daughter-in-law. Grandpa's hope is for you to agree. Aunty's been thinking about this for months. Even aunty has talked about this to her son, and wants to bring you two together." He looks a little disappointed.
Cira tried to smile to comfort him. The lady looks very serious about this.
'If only you knew the contract marriage I had. I'm sure, you'll definitely look down on me and disdain. People as good as you are not good at having relationships with people like me.' Cira muttered in his mind.
"Thank you, aunt is a very nice person I know in this life. I'm flattered by aunt's good intentions. Sorry, not the intention of making aunty disappointed or underestimating aunty's good intentions. I'm really an inappropriate and proper person for this aunt's good intentions." Clearly Cira subtly with a soft speech so that the mistress is not offended.
The middle-aged woman was disappointed. Dismissed his hope. Will his son have no children? Cira is a girl who he believes can give a descendant from the seed of the son. But Cira's rejection was so subtle and she could no longer force it.
"At least, can you meet once with your aunt's son. At least you know each other because we are good friends. We're friends, baby." The ray still wanted to open a gap.
The mistress still has faith, if Cira is not married. The hope for the matchmaking was still there, and he would still try his best.
Cira was silent, she drew and exhaled her breath slowly. He knew that the madam in front of him was still trying. Rejection that he did subtly, unable to undo his intentions.
"I'm sorry aunt, I can't. Sorry…!" His speech was interrupted due to the arrival of someone who might have been waiting for them for a long time.
"Good day, ma'am…!" Sapa a very Cira known man.
They came together, tired of waiting inside the head mother's study. They are Bayu, Caroline, Sofia's mother and Nadia's mother. The middle-aged woman who was greeted and Cira woke up from their sitting.
"Good day Bayu. How are you, baby…!" Reply the mistress was very friendly and very happy to meet Bayu, he kissed her cheeks and hugged her warmly.
Surely Cira was astonished not to believe what he saw. Do Bayu and this lady know each other? That was the question that was in his heart. As Bayu and the middle-aged woman hugged each other, Bayu's shady gaze and smile looked towards Cira who also saw him.
"Good day, ma'am…!" Now it was Caroline's turn to greet him kindly and smile.
"Good day dear. Howareyou? We haven't seen each other in a long time." Reply to the madam.
The middle-aged woman also did the same thing as she did to Bayu against Caroline. What's the matter? Do they know each other? Mumbled in his mind.
"My news is good, ma'am." Caroline replies while breaking their embrace.
"You guys, don't call madam. This isn't a company." Tegur the mistress was seen putting on an unpleasant face to hear the call. Surely it was just a joke that was shown by the madam.
"All right, Oma." Reply Bayu.
"Oma's good." Reply Caroline.
They followed what the madam wanted. Who exactly is this lady?
'Deg's'. They call him Oma. Sounds familiar and warm. Who exactly are they?
'Is what I think true? They call him Oma. Don't don't, this lady is Omanya Bayu?' From his mother's side or from his father's side?' Mira muttered in her mind while swallowing her saliva of the possibility she suspected.
"Cira, where do you think you are? You left a long time ago, it turns out to be here with Oma." Sayu rebuked Cira who had made them wait a long time.
Cira regained her senses and looked towards Bayu, Caroline and the mistress alternately with a confused look on her face.
"O..Oma...She Oma you're Mr Bayu?" Tanya nervously Cira for fear of the possibility she was now thinking about.
"Yes this is my Oma." Reply Bayu justifies.
The instantaneous feeling is uncomfortable.
"You know each other?" It was the mistress' turn to ask.
"Yes Oma, we're office mates. The three of us were sent by Aunt Mona, to accompany Oma here." Reply Bayu honestly without knowing what Cira is worried about at this time.
Cira's face now paled in surprise. So this wealthy mistress was the great mistress of the Daimos family that they had to accompany. Lady Karina Richard Daimos, that's the real name of the mistress. Cira only found out today about who exactly the middle-aged woman he knew was.
"Tante.Mrs big Daimos family. Lady Karina Richard Daimos." Speak with stammering.
"Yes dear. That's aunt's name. Don't tell me you just found out today, who's the real aunt?" Madam Karina tried to guess it.
"Yes aunty, I just found out who aunty really is today." Reply Cira honestly and clearly visible in his eyes.
They looked at each other because it was strange to see Cira was surprised at the truth who Karina really was?
'This is a big deal. So this madam is the mama of the Bara master. My own contract husband. The man she wanted to marry me to. What exactly happened? Why is my world so narrow?' Mumbled Cira was really surprised.
Cira was very surprised at the truth and the circumstances were never good. His head was dizzy due to irregular heartbeat. Cira's body suffocated and almost staggered towards the back, if only Bayu did not quickly hold his body.
