Chapter 50 #S3

#Tok... Geck... Geck...

Egga knocked on Tara's room door aka Siboy and called out to her.

"Tara's...".

Tara opened the door, she still looks shabby because she just woke up.

" Yes Pa". His reply while blinking - blinked his eyes and saw that Egga was tidy in her work suit.

"You took a bath that's ready - it's neat. If you're ready to come down immediately for breakfast abis tuh you follow Papa out". So firm and disciplined he said to his adopted son.

Tara nodded her head.

"Yes Pa". Without asking, he obeyed what Egga said.

" Yes, Papa wait for you downstairs". Egga left and went downstairs.

Egga grabbed the cup of coffee that had been made by her domestic assistant, and then she gulped it down her throat. "Slrdupti".

Egga looked a little agitated, he repeatedly glanced at his watch and now showed it at 7am and looked up. Before long he also appeared with a look that looks handsome and cool. Seeing Tara wearing the clothes she bought made Egga realize that appearances can change a person's look much different.

Tara walked up to him, still feeling awkward and unfamiliar with her new life.

"Sorry Pa because Tara was too long down because Tara was a bit difficult to shower because in the bathroom there was no bathtub so a bit confused also want to take a bath but there was no water, no water, so Tara took her water from the dispenser to take a bath and had to go back and forth to take it". He said while scratching his head.

Once again Egga patted his eel while laughing because of his ignorance about the facilities he gave.

"What's? So you took a shower with a water dispenser? O ALLAH Tara ha ha ha. In the bathroom there is no bathtub because it uses a shower ha ha ha. You see there's not 2 buttons in the bathroom on the wall?".

" Look at Pa". Tara started to lower her head in embarrassment.

"Well, it's the switch turn on her shower, the one button to pull out the warm water and the other one for the cold water".

" Oh, Tara thinks it's Pa's light switch". Say it plainly.

Egga really felt funny and ngakak.

"Ha ha ha, O ALLAH. Yes you have breakfast first, later Papa will tell you how to use all the facilities in this house. O ALLAH, ha ha ha ha enggak kebayang Papa wriggled you back and forth to take water dispenser for bath wk wkk kk".

Tara laughed in embarrassment as she glanced at Egga who was sitting in front of her and ate her breakfast.

"Oh yes, today Papa will take you to the house of Papa's sister who will be your Om. Papa will recognize him as you. But before we go there, someone wants Papa to ask you and you have to answer honestly to Papa. Were you hit by someone or hit by someone?".

Egga's question made Tara stop eating her breakfast because she was surprised and her face became pale.

He gulped his saliva out of fear, even he was reluctant to see Egga's face.

"The answer is Papa. You were hurt yesterday because you were hit by someone or hit by someone?". Egga affirmed his question, he looked at it seriously, although he knew that Tara was afraid to answer him, but what power, could not bear Egga had to do it.

" B.. Ddi punched Pa". Answer her nervously.

"Papa thought you would not answer honestly because Papa already knows the truth because Mama Ratna saw the incident when you were hit by the same people - people with good looks at that time, because Mama Ratna saw the incident when you were hit by the same people, but Papa wants to know how you got beat up until you almost lost your life like that".

Slowly he dared himself to raise his head to look at Egga. He was still hesitant and afraid to tell Egga.

"So you don't want to tell me how it happened? Okay, maybe you need some time to tell Papa and Papa will wait until you tell him".

The almost 9-year-old boy lowered his head back and exhaled.

"Tara beat them up because Tara didn't have any money for them. Actually not only that time but every time they met Tara, they must have beaten Tara just before - before not as bad. Not only Tara but other street children were also beaten up by them. They are punk kids who like to snack, babysit and like to make money from street kids like Tara, if they only get a little money from us, they beat us up, even there

one of the street children who died was killed because they did not get any money from the child. Actually Tara wanted to tell the matter to others and report them to the authorities but because we were threatened with them so we did not dare to tell it".

Egga was furious to hear the poignant story of her adopted son during his life on the streets. Teeth clapping.

"What are they threatening you with?".

" They threatened to kill us all".

"Huh... So you're afraid of that threat? Do you not think you too will be killed for fulfilling what they want. Do you never think also if you dare to report them, you can be free from them. If you just stay silent for fear of being threatened, you will live for as long as you live in the same oppressors - people like them and your lives are also threatened". Egga's tone of voice sounded emotional and high.

"Where else do you want Pa, we don't have the power to do that. Maybe the police will not believe and do not care about our suffering because they certainly consider us as well as the son of a delinquent". Sluggishly.

Egga closed her eyes for a moment while holding her forehead.

"Huh... Yes, you calm down. Papa will take care of everything. You don't have to be afraid, you just help Papa get evidence to be able to catch them. And Papa also needs testimony from your friends who have been persecuted by them, besides they will also be caught because they have been using drugs, he said, but Papa doesn't want them arrested for using the drugs, Papa wants them to make up for what they did to you".

"But Pa, they're dangerous and Papa has also banned Tara from seeing other street children, how can Tara get proof from them?".

" If that's the case you just tell Papa where they are and places they often go, you don't have to meet them and Papa will take care of it all without hurting anyone. You just calm down. Papa does not want to make you arrogant, if you want to help your friends, Papa allows as long as you do not connect with them again, help them from a distance. Because you have become a child of Papa and Mama moreover you will become a member of the Wijaya family. Youunderstand?".

"Yes Pa knows". Tara nodded her head.

After breakfast and a serious chat, Egga took her to Eggy's house.

Tara's eyes barely flickered for a second looking at Eggy's house which was more luxurious than the Egga house she was in now.

" What's Pa's palace?". He asked Egga while turning his body around looking around the house.

Egga gave a small laugh and invited him inside. Egga rang the doorbell and Eggy appeared from inside the house. Egga's eyes widened to see the appearance of Eggy who was wearing a cooking apron while holding a spoon (sutil) so that he was wide open to laugh at her.

"Bua ha ha ha ha".

" Why are you laughing?". Eggy looked at him sharply.

"Ha ha ha, my goodness Gy. Switching professions to his story? wk wkkk vk". Egga's finger pointed at Eggy's body from top to bottom.

" His name is dear to the same child binik, yes kayak gini it is. What else if the child is sick again. I don't think you ever bang wuuu". Eggy folded her hands and glanced at the wall of her house, more precisely the neighboring wall.

"Ha ha ha but it's funny to squirm your style like gini ck ck ck ck".

"Helpt... Ehh... Bang, come in quickly, my neighbor will be busy ngintipin me". Eggy pulled Egga's hand and pushed her into the house quickly and told them to sit in the family room.

" It's still often the neighbor's sleep?". Egga was no longer surprised by the behavior of his sister's neighbors, even he had peeked at Egga when he played with Ghifari.

"Still, it's just the more he becomes, I'm just stressed. The worst was yesterday afternoon, because he was just thinking about me with Almira in the backyard, the stitches in Almira's belly open". He complained while opening the aprons and shirt that had smelled cooking.

" How can you?".

"Let's know that the Almira was the most do not like if my sexy body is seen with other women, well at that time I was the same Ghifari just ready to play ball, he said, because my clothes are wet so the Almira open my clothes let his sweat not dry in the body eh it turns out that the neighbor has been traced on the wall like a ghost, he said, so the Almira spontaneously rose up and continued to sit on my lap because it wanted to cover my sexy body, the abis was immediately her stomach ache when I checked eh apparently stitches to open haiiis". Eggy patted her head.

"Yes ALLAH, but now Almira is nothing - what is it?".

" Alhamdulillah it's nothing - what bang, I've fixed also the stitches".

"Danger times, have a neighbor like that. It's like a kind of disease named because it likes to taste. Kelen (you) never did not report to RT or RW here so he did not live again in this housing? Because it's been troubling the citizens and perpetrating harassment".

" I would like to bang her, but the Almira does not feel bad for pitying her, she is a widow, living alone when she was kicked out of her own house".

"Haiiih pity - pity, but your lakik at intipin ngamok also ha ha ha".

" Ha ha ha, I don't know what bang, I'm so dizzy. Oh, I forgot I was her. I forgot to be ready - ready to pick up Ghifari school about him today he came home quickly, haduuuht". Eggy patted her eel and then skipped upstairs alias to her room.

Egga shook her head looking at her sister's behavior. While Tara is still fixated awkwardly while looking around the house. His eyes were drawn to one goal: a thick, solid white cat sleeping on his bed. Tara smiled then approached her slowly - the ground.

"Where are you going?". Egga was shocked to see Tara rising from her seat and approaching Snow. Slowly - the land he tried to stroke - sniffing the soft fluff that belonged to Snow so wake up his sleep.

"Beautiful times her cat Pa, soft her fur". Tara tried to dare to carry him.

"That's Snow's name, Om's favorite cat". Egga approached her and stroked Snow's fur.

" Tara recently held a cat kayak gini, usually just look at the pet stores on the roadside he he he. Must be a big price, Pa?".

Egga smiled looking at Tara's radiant face.

"Do you like cats?".

" Like it Pa. Rang ordinary Tara likes to play with kampung cats when met on the road, even Tara also once kept a cat but died due to being hit by a train".

"Yes, if so you can play with Snow". Suddenly Eggy appeared to surprise them and continued the conversation because she heard Tara's story.

The two turned to Eggy who was dressed up neatly, making Tara release Snow from her lap because she felt disinclined.

" Bang, I'm staying behind, if you want anything - just say the same Kak Umi".

"Yeah".

"Assalamula". Suddenly the sound of his son saying his greetings.

" Lah, that's his Ghifari's gone home". Egga pointed towards Ghifari who was walking quickly towards them.

"Lho just wanted Daddy to pick him up. Who are you going home with, baby?".

" The same doctor who nurses Mommy. Ooh". Ghifari appoints the newly emerging Ratna.

They turned to Ratna who walked up to them with a smile.

"Doctor Ratna".

" He he he, yes Doc. I was asked by Egga to come here and come here without accidentally seeing Ghifari again sitting at his school security post, so I take him home he he he he". He stroked Ghifari's head.

"Oh.. Thank you Doc for writing Ghifari".

" It's the same - same Doc".

"Yes already dear, now you change clothes and clean - clean first with Ms. Umi, that abis you immediately meet Mommy in the room. Okay?". Eggy slightly lowered her head staring at her child.

"Ready Dad. But that's why Ghifari can't play snow?".

Eggy pinched the small cheek of Ghifari.

" May be dear. But later play with the same brother huh?". Eggy pointed towards Tara.

Ghifari also saw him standing next to his Uwak alias Egga.

"Who's Dad?". Ask her curiously.

"Later his acquaintance because Daddy also has not known the brother he he he he he. Now you do what Daddy said earlier, we just met, okay?".

" Okay ready Dad. Yes, Ghifari went upstairs first". Half lazily he walked upstairs dragging his bag. Others can only shake their heads and laugh at them.

"He he he, how are we so on a yak gini stand? Sit yuk he he he". Eggy told them to sit down. Previously Tara approached Ratna and kissed her hand and Ratna stroked Tara's head like a child and mother.

" Oh yeah remembered what the story of kelen here? From now on I want to ask you to bang but because of the excitement Ghifari so forget I he he he". Eggy looked at the face of Egga and Ratna suspiciously in addition she saw there was Tara between her two.

"nothing. We just want to walk to Kelen's house. All of you want to see Almira ha ha ha ha". Egga was still unable to tell the intent of his arrival.

" ah... Don't trust me".

"Ha ha ha. Do you remember you're the same as this kid?". Egga held onto Tara's shoulder showing Eggy.

" Tara greeting used to be the same Om Eggy. This is Eggy who took you to the hospital".

Tara immediately approached Eggy and kissed Eggy's hand with courtesy.

"Still remember it. I just kind of looked at the time in the hospital. Now more handsome he he he he". Eggy looked at Tara's face carefully.

" There is a guest appearance, pantesan was from earlier heard the sound - the sound he he he". Suddenly Almira made a sound while walking slowly. Spontaneous Eggy immediately approached her when she saw Almira coming down the stairs with Ghifari.

"It's really coming down? Ist should have her break in the room. This is you again, why was Mommy taken out of the room?". Eggy ngedumelin son and wife.

" It was Iiih Daddy, who was angry with Ghifari. Mommy asked to leave the room so Ghifari followed the hufft".

"It was Suam, Ist who was bored in the room continued. Some of the guests even Ist in the room, it's not good with them".

"Hm... Daddy's not angry. Yeah, that's it, Suam gendong huh?".

" No, I'm ashamed to see them". Almira's face reddened as she glanced at those who were smiling looking at her.

"Hmmm yes already". Eggy sniffed her breath and made her walk up to the sofa where Egga and the others were sitting.

" lady... What is his condition now". Ratna immediately asked Almira after she sat down.

"Alhamdulillah has improved gradually. Just still not in love why - just say the same Doctor this one". He answered and then shook Eggy's arm.

Ratna and Egga laughed.

" His name will be completely healed, so yes I have to look at the total as well, right Doc? It's a great time to do this". Her lips while squinting her eyes sharply at Almira.

"Ha ha it's natural Doc, her name is also a woman what else a housewife, where can keep silent. Must have brought it'an want to do this it".

" Hear that, baby?".

"Hmmmpt yes hear".

" Have you made them a drink?".

"Here, Suam had asked for help with Brother Umi kok".

"Good indeed. Uh... Ja. This who? Just shut up - just shut up". Almira was aware of his existence. Tara kissed Almira's hand.

" My name is Si... Tara Ma'am". Tara almost mentioned her old name.

"Oh... Nice name. Almira's mother's name was his wife Om Eggy and his Mommy Ghifari".

" Umak, he's the one who just showed up, he's the one who's instantly familiar". Eggy was trying to quip Almira. Egga and Ratna laughed, as they looked at each other.

"Lho, is Suam not yet an acquaintance?".

" Yes not yet".

"Fu fu fu. His name Ist doesn't know. Kira'in already knows hi hi hi hi". Almira patted Eggy's arm spoiled.

" lady... Pa... The cat's out of the house". Suddenly Tara said that when she saw Snow coming out into the back garden. Sontak made Almira and Eggy surprised.

"Ma? Pa?". Eggy and Almira glanced at Ratna and Egga alternately. His second face became bitter looking at Eggy and Almira who were full of question marks.

"Ghifari, try to see there Snow in the backyard later came out of him, but all with her Bang Tara play - play ya". Egga asks Ghifari to invite Tara to play. Ghifari nodded her head and took Tara to her backyard to play.

" What's this thing bang? Who is that boy, Bang? Not that you said he was a street kid who often helped Kak Tari. Why did the boy arrive - call both Ma Pa?". Eggy was really curious.

Slowly Egga also told him all even Egga also told about Tara who was beaten by delinquents.

"Then I came here, I mean I want to ask you for help, I want to ask for medical results Tara when she was treated in the hospital, I want to be one of the proofs to arrest them".

Eggy rubbed her face.

" When it's about that, I'll help you bang. It's easy. But again I think this is how Mama and Papa responded to this. What else Zia and her family. They must be against your decision bang".

"That's what's on my mind, too. But if it's about Zia, I'm not too dizzy, because it's not important to think about it and not have any business with him too".

" Gilak you, you can't be selfish. You're going to marry her, so you automatically think of her and her family. Surely later they think that Tara was the child of your illicit relationship with Doctor Ratna and do not believe that Tara was the adopted child. Don't you think also the feelings and good name of Doctor Ratna, what people say, this can cause slander bang".

Ratna's blood rippled and felt a little scared. He could only shut up and bow. Almira glanced at Ratna who was like in a corner.

"Summer". Almira touched Eggy's thigh to understand Ratna's position.

Egga saw the look on Ratna's face that looked gloomy.

" If anyone says like that, I won't stay silent. I will make people say like that silent forever, I will try so that no one will be hurt by my decision. Just calm down you. In Shay ALLAH is fine".

Ratna turned her face to look at Egga who was staring at her. I don't know what was on his mind but it made his heart feel calmer when Egga said she would protect him.

.

."But Suam, it's like that Papa and Mama would not mind Nerima Tara, the important thing is we talk good - good with them". Almira was still talking about it before they went to bed.

" Hm. Yes, but sometimes this Papa can't be guessed dear. If Mama would agree - just agree but Papa? Papa is like there is a child of his month dear, even though the word is willing to do anything as long as the children are happy but still have to go down the path of what Papa wants too". Eggy approached Almira.

"Yes, the important thing is that Suam help - help also Bang Egga, Suam help also to talk slowly - plan with Papa and Mama. Bang Egga must have been thinking about it, so Bang Egga was rash like that". Almira touched Eggy's face gently.

"Yes dear. Suam must have helped Bang Egga, no way Suam could have helped. Just not in his mind how the feeling of Doctor Ratna, because later that victim must be Doctor Ratna, Doctor Ratna, she who became her adoptive mother Tara ehh Bang Egga married her same Zia, who, not to mention that Zia will definitely oppose all of this and will probably give up Tara completely with the same Doctor Ratna after they marry, will be Doctor Ratna also be the victim. Poor Doctor Ratna. Even Dr. Ratna somehow she wanted to - just want to know what Bang Egga said".

"It's Suam, how else, everything has happened. Being angry is free. Maybe Doctor Ratna also love Tara then his Doctor Ratna does not mind about it".

"Hmm it could be, but if you don't like pity also the Tara. Haiih is indeed that Bang Egga makes palak only, it is as good as his eyed just make the decision continues indeed he is difficult to be sensitive to each other, it is difficult to be sensitive to others, even himself, he is not sensitive. He also had a senseless period if in fact he was the same Doctor Ratna liked each other". Eggy felt the same gales as her brother.

" He he he, how is that a bad suam? Do you know where they like each other?". Almira so amused himself to see Eggy gregetan because - because of his brother-in-law.

"Yes Ist. No need to ask anymore. Anyone would squirm and feel that they like each other. Suam who is not so close to Doctor Ratna can already ngeh if Doctor Ratna likes Bang Egga, and vice versa".

" Whoa... Her husband Ist is great huh, has a sixth sense. Can tell she's other people's feelings ciye ciye he he he".

"Not the feelings of others. The feeling of his own wife was already mastering Suam ha ha ha". Eggy looked at Almira flirtatiously as she lowered Almira's chin.

" Heleh... No need to be like - like Suam, later provoked Suam also the one I lost because Ist can not". Almira put away Eggy's hand that was on her body.

"Huff.... Yes yes. Just wait for the play date. Yes, we are sleeping. Good night my sweet heart. Emmuach". Eggy kissed Almira.

" Good night was also chatty Ist emuaach he he he.
