One annoying feeling is disappointment. Especially disappointed by loved ones.
Sometimes we find it difficult to trust others out of fear of disappointment. With all our heart we have given him trust, pinned hope on him but all we can get is disappointment.
This afternoon, Bhishma felt the heartache of being disappointed.
Bisma locked herself in her room since school. Entering the house by stomping his feet and a scary look. In fact, Nara who usually likes to tease her sister just swallowed her own saliva out of fear.
Nara only looked at her brother who walked emotionally into her room.
“Mbak Hana, sister Bisma why the hell his face is strange.” Complain Nara.
Hana, who also realizes that Bhishma's heart is bad, can only win Nara by playing with her instead of disturbing Bhishma.
In her heart Hana also wondered what was really going on. These few days Bhishma looks happy. Even this morning he was excited when he left school. But why was it that after school his mood was in turmoil?
Hana realized that this state was not the same as the state of Bhishma some time ago. It's more serious.
But what makes Nara even more confused is when she saw her mother who came home with her swollen eyes and reddened nose. It's obviously been crying. Even though Nadia had already disguised herself by wearing a rather thick makeup that afternoon, the traces of it still looked quite clear.
Hana who saw the appearance of Nadia that afternoon also knew that something was not good was going on. His first thought was, is there anything wrong with the wedding preparations of his employer?
The Flash Back On....
This morning, Nadia was shopping at the market to buy herself the groceries to be cooked in the cafe. He wanted to make sure the ingredients for his cafe cooking were the best.
But something was wrong this morning. He heard some people say about him. Not a good thing. He's being gossiped about with something bad.
The news of his marriage with Nathan who is a young businessman who is established is the forerunner of gossip circulating.
What else is the problem besides the status of Nadia who is a widow with two children. I don't know where they got the news.
Nadia was not angry to hear that. That is the real thing. But what makes him sad are the slanted remarks about him using the use of gimmicks to get close to Nathan, some even say that he used his body to tempt the young businessman.
Nadia who was usually immune to gossip this time could not help it. If he had listened to the gossip once past, he now had two growing children. What happens if both of them who are toddlers listen to bad news about their mother?
The thing that hurt Nadia was not just through gossip. That afternoon, when Nadia was in her cafe, Miranda came.
The girl came with reinforcements from the mothers of the bullies. Miranda slanders Nadia that Nadia snatched her lover. And this is enough to fuel the nyinyir mothers who like to burn themselves for things that should not be their business.
Armed with cell phone cameras in their hands, the mothers came to Nadia. They recorded everything they said to Nadia. Put it on social media. Make it the gossip material that will make them famous. They themselves do not care what they say is true what is not, what they think is creating content.
Without them knowing it, what they say and do destroys the hearts and lives of others. In this day and age, people believe more in irresponsible talk in cyberspace than seeing the facts in the real world. Ironical.
Nadia who was attacked by many women who raved many things on her could only be silent. The mothers did not give him the slightest chance to explain themselves. Finally, Nadia could only cry. Hearing untrue words about him.
While Bhishma, unbeknownst to Nadia, the little man even heard bad things about his mother at school. His friends even without hesitation said that Nadia was an actor.
In fact, they themselves may not even know what the so-called actors are. But that is the greatness of social media, making something that is not understood as clearly understood.
Nathan who comes in the night becomes the target of Bhishma's anger. That night, the little man who was showing his fangs asked him to speak with him alone. He wanted to hold her accountable for what her mother had experienced.
According to his future stepson, Nathan follows Bisma who takes him to the gazebo next to the house. Sitting together was like two adults talking about a serious matter.
“Have you heard the gossip about mama?”
“I've heard it Bus. And I'll get rid of it soon. I also did not expect there would be such gossip.”
“Mama women are fine om. He does not deserve blasphemy and scathing talk from those people.”
Bhishma looked at Nathan in slight disbelief. He slightly distrusted the ability of his future father. He is still a child, of course, can not think of anything that far to solve the problem. At first Bhishma thought that Nathan would come to everyone who gossiped. It must be very troublesome and exhausting.
Sighs. Now Bisma feels a little relieved. He hoped that his mother had not heard the rumors. Don't know if his mother has even been visited by his ringleader.
Nathan himself immediately came to the cafe after getting news of Nadia's attack at the cafe. He was trying to protect his future wife. And find solutions to the problems they face together.
The night is late. Nathan is still at Nadia's house. He wants to accompany his future wife face longer tonight. Both of them need time to talk more.
When almost all the residents of the house had slept in their sleep, Nadia and Nathan were sitting together on a park bench.
“What did you talk about with Bisma?”
“The child already knows.” Nathan smiled remembering his conversation with the little man. “She, very trying to protect you. Looks like I should be grateful there's him by your side.” Nathan pulls Nadia's head to kiss her. Put his arm over Nadia's shoulder.
“You were right. He's been trying to protect me and Nara all this time. I'm lucky to have it.” Nadia stroked Nathan's arm which hugged his shoulder.
“Honey, are you ready for tomorrow?” Nathan looked at Nadia who was next to him.
“Ready not ready mas. We have to finish everything anyway. I don't want any of this to impact the kids.”
“You're right. In this case children should not get bad effects.”
“Bagamana with mas family? I mean do they trust the news?”
“My family is not the type that only believes in the talk of irresponsible people. Moreover, mama already knows the nature of Miranda who likes to justify all means to achieve what she wants.”
“Mas, do you really reject a girl as beautiful as Miranda just for me who..”.
“What? You're perfect, baby. Never humble yourself again in front of me.” Cut Nathan fast. He immediately cupped Nadia's face. Staring fixed eyes Nadia's shade with love.
“Thank you for this infinite love mas.” Nadia put her hand together with Nathan's.
“Sama-sama. Thank you also for staying this long.”
Unknowingly, the two brought their faces closer. Slowly but surely, the two lips slowly drew closer. Two pairs of eyes were also closed enjoying the atmosphere. Until suddenly....
“Woy is not halal!”
One big stepdaughter destroys her second romantic moment. Nathan immediately cursed at a friend who will soon be a child, too. Huh, this is a little ridiculous.
