Forced to Be an Actor
Liora Mau Adek Baby


Listening to the graceful words of everyone in this room immediately looked at me questioningly. Mas Sadam immediately grabbed my hand and He rounded his eyes when he felt that what Anggun said was true, my hands were cold like ice cubes.


“Honey, you sick?” asked Mas Sadam while directing the back of his hand to touch my forehead to check my body temperature.


“Mas, I'm not sick, I'm hungry,” I said honestly.


“Sifa, if you are hungry, then just don't be ashamed like that,” Mama Elsa told me.


“Mama, just eat first Liora does not want if Mama is sick,” Liora's soft voice makes my heart warm. He's still sick but could still be worried about me.


“Mama, will eat,” I say on


Lioras.


“There has been a lot of eating and print a lot of grandchildren for us,” said Papa Damar enthusiastically.


“Pa, don't be. See that your son-in-law is shy.” I just lowered my head as I walked towards the sofa in the room.


“Liora, want adek baby.” I with Liora immediately replied with a tone of voice that sounded very enthusiastic.


“Liora, must heal first if you want adek baby.” I heard Mas Sadam talking and somehow my cheeks immediately heated up listening to the conversation of all of them.


I opened up the bushel of this food, Mama Elsa's cooking looks delicious as usual but somehow I was reluctant to touch this food when my stomach was hungry terrace. I stared at Mas Sadam who was still busy talking to Liora, the feeling of wanting to be fed by her again arose. What's wrong with me why I always wanted to be treated by him.


“Sifana, why do you still not touch this food as well. Do you not like this food Or does it taste bad?” mama Elsa asked me to make my daydream break and I looked at my mother-in-law who was now sitting on the sofa looking at me with a questionable look.


I looked towards Mas Sadam who immediately stepped towards me. “Ma, the wrong one is not the food but my wife is spoiled, so she only wants to eat if I feed,” said Mas Sadam while looking at me .


I lowered my head feeling my cheeks heat up again after listening to my husband's words. Shameful and do not know myself how I feel, seeing Liora who is sick even I am spoiled for my husband when Liora who is sick is not spoiled.


“Sifa, once you get spoiled like this, usually never,” Mama Elsa told me and I could only shake my head slowly not understanding what happened to me lately.


“Ma, don't tease her and then my wife will run away from this room in shame,” said Mas Sadam while putting rice and fried chicken into the same plate and did not forget he also added vegetable soup and also my favorite sambal terasi into the plate.


“Yes, already Mama will not interfere anymore, you can eat now.” After speaking I saw Mama Elsa standing next to Liora again.


“Mas, you also eat,” my door on Mas Sadam.


Ever since we got married I've seen Mas Sadam smile like this. I really like his sweet smile he looks handsome once made my heart captivated in the shackles of his love.


1 week later.


Heru said Liora can go home now because Liora's condition has improved but still have to control the hospital as scheduled. We all arrived at the Erlanga family home. Liora plays like a bias but I always watch her and Anggun also always invite a break if the playing time is more than 2 hours. All that we did was to see Liora recover quickly.


“Sifana,” call Mama Elsa to me when I just came down the steps of this house.


“Ya, Ma what's wrong?” I asked Mama Elsa.


“Anggun has long been off school is not as soon as we register him in elementary school,” explained Mama Elsa to me. We both sat in the living room of this house.


“Ma, I've thought everything over, later when Liora entered Kindergarten then Anggun will also enter school, after all Anggun will not miss the subjects because the school's Anggun teacher used to always teach her through online, online,” my word to Mama Elsa.


“Is that true? But Mama Elsa never saw Anggun learn once,” asked Mama Elsa to me while frowning with an unconvinced look.


“Anggun, smart kid. She never did a long task unlike other common children,” I explained to Mama Elsa and the middle-aged woman immediately nodded her head in agreement.


“Ma, Liora has improved how if tomorrow we go to the tomb,” said I did not explain clearly because I know Mama Elsa must understand the meaning of my words just now.


“Tadi, Mama has also thought like that because tomorrow is also a holiday.” I saw Mama Elsa lowering her head and I knew this middle-aged woman must be crying over her granddaughter whom she had never seen her face.


It was fortunate that Liora and Anggun were resting in their room at noon. I hugged Mama Elsa and cried with her. Maybe when Ms. Tasya was pregnant and giving birth I did not know them because I still did not work in this house but somehow I can feel the sadness and also the loss they feel now. We all never visited Ms. Tasya in prison even talking about her name was never done this house occupants, he said, even Liora also never asked news about the woman maybe she was too disappointed so obliterated the name of Mbak Tasya in his heart.


Next day.


We all just had breakfast. We chatted for a moment on the porch and then prepared to go to a public funeral.


“Mama Sifa, where are we going? Why is everyone wearing black?” liora asked me while holding this hand.


I stared at Mas Sadam for a moment and then looked back at Liora saying. “We will go to your brother's grave,” I obviously told him.


I saw Liora frowning as she looked at me then said, “Brother? Who is that why Liora just found out.” I just smiled a little knowing the answer from Liora just now, I can already guess what this smart boy will say.


I fell silent, and I didn't want to answer Liora because it wasn't my capacity any more I was afraid if I mispronounced. I glanced at Mas Sadam and Mama Elsa alternately asking the two people for help to explain to Liora directly.
