That afternoon Syifa urged her aunt to tell her how the real story happened between her father and her mother until she was born into the world. Because, all this time Rosa did not tell the story of how she met her father until he was born into the world.
"Tante .. so mama in ...." Syifa could not continue his words. He gasped at the words from his aunt about what happened to his mother until she became pregnant with Syifa.
During this time Syifa suspected that he was born from an extramarital relationship between papa and his mother. However, he thought that his father and mother used to be lovers who loved each other. Then do the relationship to cross the line that resulted in pregnancy out of wedlock.
Apparently the assumption is wrong. Her mother became pregnant as a result of the bitter events her father had committed against her mother, namely pem*rk*s*an. Then, what is the difference between the father and Devan who tried to get his will in a way that is not right for him. Syifa did not become pregnant as a result of the incident.
Tears of Syifa were shed and her hands trembled imagining the pain felt by her mother at that time. She now understands why her mother insisted on keeping her life story close and trying to hide her father's identity. All of that was certainly because the pain he felt was so heavy.
"Yes, Syifa. That's why Auntie feels so guilty about your mom. It should have been that time as a family, we protected her. However, even Auntie suspected him that not to throw him out of the house because of putting forward the ego of Aunt who felt betrayed. Your mother is innocent of that!" rosita said sobbing realizing her mistake.
"Assynnya!" rosa is coming.
Syifa and Rosita immediately turned to look at the source of the voice that appeared to Rosa behind the door.
Found her mother coming home from work too early Syifa was a little surprised. He and Rosita immediately wiped away their tears and stopped their conversation earlier.
"Waalaikumussalam, Ma..," replied Syifa.
"You why? did something happen until you cried?" asked Rosa who looked anxious to see the eyes of the two women in front of her who were equally swollen.
"Ros, Edward's wife came here. I think Edward's been keeping secrets about you to his wife. And, suddenly, Edward's wife came here and asked about your relationship with Edward. Surely later they will fight because of this," said Rosita.
"So it's true that I thought, Miss Mia must have followed him. Did Mia's mom hurt you, Syifa? what did he do to you?" asked Rosa worriedly.
Syifa shook her head, "He did nothing to Syifa, Ma. But ... how do you know your wife's name is Mia?" tanyakanya.
Rosa did not rush to answer. He dropped himself on the living room couch in a doldrums.
"He's Mama's employer, Syifa!" rosa said with a soft word.
"What?!" tekik Syifa and Rosita almost together so surprised.
"So you've been working at Edward's house all this time?" ask Rosita.
Rosa nodded.
"Aren't you going to meet Edward there?" ask Rosita again.
"No, Brother. I've never met Edward. You know for yourself right, early in the morning he came to this house to pick up Syifa. And, until I got home from work, she didn't come home. So, it's only natural that I've never met him?"
"But not this morning. We met and at that time Ms. Mia was not at home to take her child to school. I was so shocked to see Brother Edward in the house that I dropped the bowl I was holding. Then Ms. Mia came and heard us arguing. However, I guess he didn't hear what we were talking about."
"When Ms. Mia asked if we knew each other, Edward lied back and said we didn't know each other. I told him to be honest with his wife."
"Yes, you're right. Because, after Edward drove Syifa home. He suddenly appeared shortly after Edward left this house. And, if he's mad at you it must be because he knows you're Syifa's mother after seeing the resemblance of our faces!" sahut Rosita's.
"Really, Brother. After Ms. Mia traveled she was immediately angry with me, Sister. And, accusing me of deliberately working in that house to try to destroy their household. Now I'm fired, brother. It doesn't matter that I don't work in that house anymore, but that makes me sad because of the misunderstanding that's going on between us. I want him to know that I don't want to take Edward's brother away from him at all. But he won't listen to my explanation!" seloroh Rossa with sobs.
"Astagfireullah! what a test this is, Ma!" gumam syifa with shrewdness.
Listening to the words of her mother, Syifa increasingly felt disappointed by the bad attitude of her father who had made their relationship more complicated. Her father made her and her mother look worse in the eyes of her family.
"It's all Edward's fault, you're not wrong, so you don't have to be afraid if his wife comes back and questions you. If their relationship is ruined because of it then it is not your fault but it is Edward's own fault. You don't have to worry about this, just think about what's best for you!" roseta responded.
"It can't be like that either, brother. I am a woman and I cannot be selfish. Ms. Mia must have been very hurt because of this. I want to clear up this misunderstanding. Moreover, I know actually that Mia ma'am is a very good woman, sister. He treated me well when I worked there. I care about her. I don't want him to misunderstand me.
......................
In the afternoon Edward came to Rosa's house. Rosa and Syifa went to see him.
"Syifa, Ros .. I apologize to you for this!" he said nervously.
Syifa only glanced at the papa. He felt lazy to hear the words coming out of his father's mouth.
"My wife must have misunderstood you, right? what did Mia do to you, Ros?" ask Edward. His eyes were fixed on Rosa who was staring at him wistfully.
"Why did you come here, brother. Where's your wife?" rosa asked back.
"She .. went to her parents' house. I'm sure he'll be back soon. He will understand this!" he said calmly, though hesitating.
"Then don't come here again, before your wife forgives you. I don't want your family to misunderstand me and Syifa. Please solve the problems in your household first. You take it easy, we'll be fine even without you!" rosa said firmly without allowing Edward to sit down.
Edward feels increasingly guilty for having hidden their existence from Mia. He understood that the sharp eyes of his daughter's bead showed how disappointed he was.
"All right, I'm going home. Syifa, take good care of yourself. Papa loves you very much. Please forgive the mistake, Papa!" he said that only answered a small nod from Syifa.
Syifa stared at the back of her papa who was passing further and further. Although his father incised many wounds he still loved him as well.
Drrrtt drrtt.
The mobile phone suddenly shook. There's an incoming message. He immediately reached into the cell phone that was in his gamis bag. There's a message coming in from Nafisa. Syifa seemed to be smiling reading the message.
"What's up, Fa?" asked Rosa who saw Syifa's face change from the corner of her eye.
