"Let's go... Dad....." Firlita pulls out a chair for Mr. Muri and Muri's mother whom she already considers to be her own master's.
"There's so much you cook for Fir's dinner..... Is there anything special?" Hanaria asked staring at the dish that Firlita had served on the table.
"Yes sister Hana. First, as a gratitude for the diwisudanya sister Hana on this day..... Congratulations, sister Hana....." Firlita hugged Hanaria's neck from behind who was sitting facing the dining table.
"Thank you, Fir....." Hanaria touched Firlita's pair of coiled hands around her neck and gently rubbed her foster sister's hands.
"Same - same brother....." Firlita let go of her embrace, then moved into her seat and sat there.
"And the second one..Today, I have been accepted to work in beauty candidates......" Firlita added again with a happy face.
"Congratulations, Fir......" Hanaria spoke up from her seat and hugged Firlita tightly.
"Ma give me brother......" Sahut Hanaria was still with a happy face.
"Congratulations, son Firlita..... Hope you're at home working at your new job." Said Mr. Muri with a smile, also feel happy.
"Thank you dad....." Sahut Firlita stared with a smile at Mr. Muri who he had considered like his own father.
"Mom congratulated me too, son..... " Muri's mother didn't want to miss congratulating Firlita as her support for the young woman.
" Yes mom, thank you..... Let's eat first....." Take Firlita with her cheerful face.
"Come... I've also felt the laper look at your cooking Firlita." Mr. Muri is excited.
Firlita helped fill the plates of Hanaria's parents with happy hearts, her face constantly adorned with smiles. For him, having a family like this is what he always dreamed of since he realized that he lived a country.
"Son Firlita likes to eat fish too.....?" Ask Muri's mother, when seeing broiled fish soy sauce snapper, salmon soup, and Bandeng basil sauce. Yes, almost all dinner menus are served on a table made of fish, except vegetable stir-fry shrimp and rice.
Fish Burn Sauce
Salmon Fish Soup
Bandeng Kuah Kemangi
Shrimp Pare Saute
"At first Firlita did not like the fish ma'am..... Firlita likes to eat fish. The doctor said, fish is very good for babies in the womb Firlita." His mouth while putting the plate that was just finished he filled in front of the mother Muri.
"That's mom....." Firlita politely.
"Mmm... how delicious Firlita......" Praise Muri's mother while chewing with her mouth full.
"Fish toast the soy sauce snapper is also delicious ma'am....." Mr. Muri commended. While glancing at his wife and Firlita.
Firlita again commented on her happy smile when she heard the praise from Mr. Muri and his wife. " Firlita's happy that mom and dad like it....." He still smiles.
"Sir Hana could have, this is all "the recipe from Kak Hana." Tukas Firlita while enjoying the results of his cooking.
"But it's good......." Firlita said then while closing her eyes, enjoying the chew of food in her mouth. Not that he praised himself.😀
Hanaria, Mr. Muri, and his wife laughed lightly at Firlita's innocent and pleasant manner.
That night, Firlita's cooking that fits the tongue makes them eat until fullness.
Firlita wants to join the guest room after cleaning the kitchen when she sees Hanaria and her parents chatting.
He placed a pot of hot tea and three cups of tea on the table.
"Don't bother with Firlita, we're all full at dinner tonight." Said mr. Muri.
"No dad....." Firlita said as she stepped hot tea into the three empty cups she had prepared.
"Thank you, Hana....." Said Muri's mother with a warm smile.
"Same - same buu..... " Firlita also smiled warmly.
"Father, mother, sister Hana...... Firlita permission to rest first yes, because tomorrow is the first day Firlita works in the beauty candidate." Firlita said for a reason. He felt there was something very important, which Hanaria was talking about to her parents, it was seen from her third face that looked tense when she just came over.
"Yes Fir... You really have to rest a lot, so that you and your content are always healthy." Hanaria said sincerely.
Firlita smiles......" Yes, brother, thank you." Firlita then headed to her room which was only a few steps away from the living room.
Before getting into bed, Firlita first prepared her clothes that she would wear tomorrow. He stood in front of his closet for a moment. From the reflection of the mirror in front of him, his distended stomach was already seen getting bigger.
His stomach slowly. He should feel happiness. Because in her enlarged stomach, there is a baby who will call her mother at birth.
But the presence of the baby became a source of sadness for him. Yeah, that's how Firlita feels right now. Every day, he tries to close his sadness. He doesn't want anyone to know what he's feeling. He tried to swallow it alone. Since childhood he often experienced various difficulties in his life, struggling to live and recognized in society. Deafening?? Don't ask. As an orphan, without relatives and relatives, it is often received from people around him.
Now, the mistake he had made a few months ago, by allowing himself to fall into Mahendra's good looks and kindness, to want to sleep together, and easily leave his friendship to the man, she had to endure the mistake alone with her baby.
Mahendra, the man he really thought - really loved him. It was not as good as he thought, it only needed his body. Firlita could only regret her actions.
Firlita sorted out her clothes that hung neatly in the closet. He chose clothes that still fit in his body, which is increasingly filled.
Sayup - I heard Hanaria talk with her parents. Firlita accidentally heard it from behind the wall of her room. His heart grew more painful. Her tears just came out, bathed her eyelids. The misfortune that had befallen him turned out to be dragging Hanaria, the one who had done him a lot of good.
Firlita got into her bed, she tried to calm herself down. "I have to be strong...." He muttered alone. "I can't give up.... I can't run away from reality....... I have to face it." Firlita tried to strengthen her own heart.
On the bed, Firlita tried to close her eyes. He looked restless, his body occasionally turned left, and occasionally turned right. Right now, what he needs most is to calm down and try to get to sleep immediately so that tomorrow can wake up early and be ready to live a new day.
...•••...
"Dad and mom are seriously going home today??" Ask Hanaria to make sure.
"Iya Hana. Poor brother Jonly, he must be very thoughtful. Mizha's birth time was not her brother's panic and stress. There is also a mother, and a father, and a mother-in-law." Clearly, Muri's mother was enjoying breakfast in front of her.
"Mom hope you understand....." Muri's mother looked at her daughter.
Hanaria nodded her head slowly. He was not satisfied to give up longing for his two masters who were only a week at home. But he also did not want to make his only brother feel afraid alone facing the birth of his wife who will give birth to their second child.
