Healing
136. The Highest Level in Loving

" Wait here for a minute, I'll go inside and take the money, to replace the money you made to pay for the ice cream" I said as I turned around and invited Syifa to enter the house.

" Not to be replaced, just a few thousand, assume I buy ice cream for my beautiful niece" said Yoga while rubbing Syifa's head gently.

Syifa smiled sweetly as Bian praised her by saying she was a beautiful niece. Syifa seems to get along easily, and likes someone she just met, if that person is nice to her.

I don't know since when Bian followed us and was behind us. But obviously I don't want to owe money, let alone debt of gratitude, I have to immediately return the money earlier and I shouldn't have lingered with him. If until Yoga sees me meeting Bian without his knowledge, surely Yoga will immediately get angry.

" Syifa did not want to go in, wanted to eat ice cream here", whine Syifa who pulled her hand from my grasp. For some reason as she grew older, Syifa became more and more unruly, she was able to call out her own will.

" Yes Syifa stay here wait mom for a while, I just take the money in a minute, Syifa can't go anywhere".

I had to leave Syifa with Bian, there was no way Bian would do strange things in public places right?, I just went in to take the money.

I deliberately ran towards the room to grab my wallet, and went straight out to not leave Syifa for too long, but suddenly Shaka called out to me.

" Mother...!".

I looked towards Shaka, "Why Ka?".

" Where are you going in a hurry?, That's why you burn fish in the back, do you want to help you get done quickly, quite a lot of fish caught by us, do you want to help, if the mother helps Mba Puput will be faster, the most delicious mother-made grilled fish, Shaka misses mother-made grilled fish" Shaka said, considering I used to spread Shaka fishing with his friends in the river, and all say if my grilled fish is very good, even though I only sprinkle salt and soy sauce.

" I want it anyway, but this mom wants to turn over the money, Syifa asked for ice cream but I haven't brought the money, so paid for it with people, now I want to return the money, now I want to return the money, Syifa is also still in front", said I deliberately did not mention the name Bian, worried suddenly Yoga appeared and heard my speech, could be dangerous and certainly Yoga will be wrathful.

" Of course, let Shaka be the one who returned the money, the one who paid is still outside, right, Mom?".

I nodded, but how could I give the money to Shaka, and let him return this money, later he knew that the one who paid for the ice cream was Bian.

" Let mother return the money, then return the money mother immediately home" I told Shaka. And I walked quickly to get outside, I could see Syifa standing up to let Bian crouch down in front of her to clean around her lips and her hands that were covered in ice cream.

" Thank you Om, what is Dad's friend Om?, but why did Syifa not see Om playing at home?, like Haidal?", I could hear Syifa asking Bian, he said, I don't know why I want to listen to Bian's answer to the question Syifa asked. And my brain told me to stop just to listen to Bian's answer.

" Om with father and om Haidar was friendly since he was in school, there is one more friend of ours, namely om Riko. We used to play together a lot, but now that everyone is busy with their own affairs, the four of us rarely get together" Bian replied. Syifa nodded as if understanding.

" What om also invite children om here for libulan?, Syifa wants to dong become a friend of the child om, bial can be rich om and father" Syifa said innocently.

Bian did not answer Syifa's question, instead he hugged Syifa tightly while rubbing Syifa's back.

" Om has no children, can Om regard Syifa as the son of Om?, is Syifa the daughter of Om's best friend, so Om also loves Syifa very much like Syifa's father".

Although very soft, but I can still hear Bian's voice. So it's been almost 5 years they've been married, but Bian and Utari haven't had any children. Is that why they were once Dwi's patients?.

Actually what is the reason they do not have a baby?, what one of them is infertile?, or there is another reason?, I don't know...

Why did Shaka even come here, he came to know that the one who lent the money was Bian. I was so misbehaved because Shaka was staring at me and Bian with a probing look.

" Eh, yes, anu.", I was confused as to what to explain. Now what reason should I tell Shaka.

" Is Brother Bian the one who I borrowed the money from?", asked Shaka, leaving me in the midst of searching for the right reason, Shaka walked over to Bian and Syifa.

" Bian's sister doesn't lend me money, I told her not to return it, because I'm willing to buy Syifa ice cream, because Syifa I consider my niece" Bian explained.

" Why change Kak?, did not Brother Bian tell Syifa that Kak Bian considers Syifa like Kak Bian's own child" said Shaka.

Shaka listened to Bian's words like that, so since when was Shaka behind me?, did he also hear Bian's words if Bian and Utari had not had children until now?.

" Come Syifa, let's go inside the house, before Dad gets angry to see mom meet her ex-husband, unbeknownst to him", Shaka holds Mung Syifa's body and invites her into the house.

But before entering, Shaka turned around and exclaimed to Bian, "If I could turn back time to the past, I would still do the same thing, by bringing my sister closer to a good man like Brother Bian. Unfortunately, I don't have a sister now, and I don't like men who have married to my mother, because my father is still alive, and my mother's father is still married", shaka said with a tone full of emphasis.

I immediately entered the house, following Shaka who was walking quickly. Shaka dropped Syifa off in the living room because the rebellious Syifa asked to be taken down, Syifa ran inside the house, while Shaka looked at me sharply.

" Shaka doesn't hate him, doesn't hate him at all, because Bian's brother is a good person, as you always say, not being able to be together with you is not a problem, when I met a nice guy like Bian. I used to let my mother marry Kak Bian for the sake of mother's happiness, because the highest level of a person sincerely loves is when he is willing to love someone he loves with others, for the sake of the happiness of that person".

" Dad used to tell mom to marry Kak Bian, but brother Bian could not keep his promise to make mom happy, he leaned more towards his family, annul the marriage, and he could not keep his promise, and even marry another woman of his parents' choice. That's when I can't accept the mistakes that Bian made, I've given him the opportunity to make mom happy, but Bian misses the opportunity".

" Shaka hope you don't repeat the incident like that, it's still lucky that Shaka saw it, if you know what you're doing. Dad's gonna be so mad".

Shaka really warned me not to let down Yoga. Because Shaka knows how much Yoga loves me.

" What did your mother do?".

Shaka and I looked directly at the origin of the voice, and Yoga heard our conversation.

Shaka looked at me fixedly, "Just ask mom, what she's done" Shaka replied still in a sniffy voice.

Did Shaka really tell me to say that I had met Bian?, but that was really unintentional, I didn't make a deal with him. Suddenly Bian appeared behind me.

" I was.", then...",

" So mom bought Syifa ice cream on the road, but only Syifa bought, the others did not, I just love Syifa right?, so Shaka was not bought", shaka said by giving me the code.

" No.. not so, the mother did not bring a lot of money, so just buy for Syifa", said I follow the flow that Shaka is making.

" It's just because your ice-cream time so cranky, tomorrow when you return home, dad wholesale ice cream for you Ka, the fish is all ripe. The smell is very good, it seems Syifa has also eaten first, again in the same bribe Puput, we join with others now yuk", invite Yoga without feeling suspicious in the least, he just believes that what we are fighting about is the ice cream problem.
