“El .. “ call a girl so softly when you see Eleena starting to open her eyes..
“Alhamdulilah,” murmured again when he saw Eleena was really aware, the girl immediately contacted her brother to give news.
“May ... “ As if knowing what her sister-in-law is doing, Eleena immediately held Mayra's hand while shaking her head.
“Assalamualaikum,“ Sounded male voice from mobile phone in hand-held by Mayra, “Halo, what's up Mayra?”
Eleena shook her head again looking at her best friend and sister-in-law with a pleading gaze, until Mayra finally nodded her head because she could not bear it.
“Walaikumsalam, yes kak what is it?”
“You called Brother why are you asking what is it?” there was a sound of breath from the man across there to make Mayra immediately scowl because she realized her mistake.
“Oh yes Mayra forgot,” answered her chuckles, “Neither papa kok Kak. This, Mayra just want to give a report, if Mayra has arrived in Jakarta. This is Mayra going to meet Eleena first.” He answered while glancing at Eleena.
“Alright then, please take care of your sister-in-law. Later after the event is finished, my brother went straight home to Jakarta,”
Eleena shook her head, telling Mayra to forbid Joseph to go straight home. The event at the cottage, is expected to be completed at one or two in the morning. And Eleena did not want if Yusuf had to drive a car to Jakarta alone.
Worry, of course. So Eleena asked that Joseph come home tomorrow. And the man had agreed, would stay one night in the cottage, but now it is different when talking to Mayra.
“Dih, don't hunt. Tomorrow we go home. Mayra will already be here, then Mayra who nemenin Ele. Udah brother focus there aja first, sister-in-law is fine if the same Mayra, just calm down.” Mayra said instantly making Eleena nod in relief.
“Ya already if so, brother closed first. If you have met your sister-in-law, please tell me to open the message sister.”
“Assalamualaikum,”
“Walaikumsalam,” answered Mayra last time before finally disconnected the phone connection.
Mayra immediately sat herself beside Eleena's bed. He looked at his best friend and sister-in-law with a sharp enough gaze as if demanding an explanation why Eleena could faint.
Fortunately, Mayra came and saw Eleena unconscious. So he could immediately call a doctor to check on Eleena. And lucky, that Eleena and her baby are okay.
“I gapapa May, Just a little soy sauce,” said Eleena smilingly looking at her sister-in-law.
“Kecapean why? Do you do your own homework? Plis deh El, you're not Cinderella who's in foster care with stepmom. Which should do all the homework. And also, you are not a daughter-in-law who has rich in-laws in the soap opera flying fish, which is always in torment when the husband is not there. Umma I'm not like that El, after all Umma is also not here,” said Mayra so long to make Eleena a little chuckle.
In-laws are like flying fish. Eleena did not expect that Mayra often watched soap operas like that. And how could he equate umma Chila with other in-laws? Of course it was very different, Umma Chila did not even look like an in-law to Eleena.
The woman was already like Eleena's biological mother, even her affection exceeded Eleena's own, perhaps.
Real mom? At that moment, Eleena remembered Rasti's mother. Where's her mother, inner Eleena. And what about Catherine?
Eleena could see how much mother Rasti loved Catherine, and perhaps her affection for Catherine was much greater than her affection for Eleena.
Remembering that, immediately made Eleena smile bitterly. It feels a little claustrophobic, when it should be compared with stepchildren. In fact, when felt by Eleena, Catherine is superior to him to get the love of Mama Rasti.
