Mother To Neira
More Comfortable With Fresh

"When did you become my adopted son?"

Arjuna came with a confused look, he and Sekar were now outside precisely in the garden behind the Ema family home. It was just Sekar himself, but before long Arjuna followed.

"Where do I understand, Mas. I never influenced my mother to make me her child. Do not misunderstand me. All this time, I've been given a place to live and can ngasuh Neira aja already seneng."

Arjuna looked at the girl next door fixedly. Indeed, he could see that his mother had become more cheerful since the arrival of Sekar to their magnificent residence as well as his father.

Arjuna who still did not understand then left Sekar and went inside. Sekar himself is still confused, he is honestly happy not to play over the statement from his mother Arjuna a moment ago. However, there was a bad taste to Arjuna as well.

"Strick," call someone.

Sekar turned his head and found Ema was walking closer to him while carrying Neira who was crying.

"Neira is fussy, Ma'am? Let me be the big one here."

Ema smiled slightly while nodding then immediately handed Neira who was miraculously immediately silent and laughed when she was in the sling of Sekar. Ema who witnessed that so raised one eyebrow. He was confused and felt quite amazed.

"Neira looks like you've been looking since. Ummmm ... Can I ask you something?"

"Of course, Ma'am." She answered with a small smile.

"Have you been Neira's nanny?"

Shakes slowly. "One month is not yet, Ma'am."

The woman looked a little surprised again. He did not expect that the young girl who did not talk much was not even a month of nurturing her nephew.

"Actually we and our family have something to heal, Sekar, that I am the one who will take care of Neira because Eva is my sister, I feel I have a responsibility for that as well. But I'm not sure Neira can be comfortable with me, because as a woman, I can feel from now on what Neira is looking for is just you. And really, after I gave her to you she was completely silent. That's why I think you've been babysitting Neira for so long."

"It's only now, Ma'am, maybe because it's been a few weeks Neira is used to me, but if Mbak often sees him and accompanies him after this, then, he will definitely be comfortable with Ema.

Ema looks smiling looking at Sekar, after hearing the answer from the woman, from her glasses Sekar seems like Ema is a pretty pleasant woman, she is a very graceful woman and of course very beautiful.

Sekar briefly pursed his lips while hearing the statement from Ema. Apparently the talk of an engagement event between Arjuna and Ema has been assured. Arjuna also seems to start accepting the matchmaking unlike when he was betrothed to Eva, Arjuna objected. But with Ema, it seemed like the man found a slight match.

"But ..."

Sekar hurriedly bent his own lips, just as he was about to say about Lola to Ema. However, he soon undoes it, he does not want it to be a problem just because of that one name and he does not want it to disappoint Ema if he finds out that Arjuna still has a lover at this time. I don't know how Arjuna arranged between Lola and Ema. He did not want to think about the man who supposedly said he was now his adoptive brother.

"But what, Sekar?"

"Ehmmmmm, nothing, Ma'am. Forgetit. I'm happy to hear it, ma'am, I hope everything goes well. When will the engagement be held and where will it be in Bandung or in Jakarta?"

"The work will start in two weeks, here, Sekar, because I still have to take care of a lot of needs. I just moved from abroad so I want everything to be done first one by one, just held our engagement event. I would be very happy if you came especially Arjuna will already be your foster sister, which means I am your sister too."

Again just smiling and nodding. Then with Sekar, then Ema and Sekar play with the little girl. However, it does seem once in Ema's vision that Neira is so comfortable near Sekar, even when there is himself. The little girl was like clinging to Sekar once, as if the little girl did not want to be far from Sekar for a second.

"Sir, sorry that last time in the guest room, I do not want Mama Ema think that kind of. Yesterday mas Arjuna just wanted to vent and story a little bit the same me, hopefully Ma'am Ema did not respond to it more than anything else."

Ema smiled and responded, too, he did have a thought because he saw the familiarity between Arjuna and Sekar but he then became calm because after hearing the narration from his mother Arjuna that Sekar had been considered as his own child which means he the child was raised by the family.

"It's okay, I understand. I thought you guys had finished doing it. But I believe in Arjuna's mother and you. I'm sure you won't abuse me. Can I be honest with you?

Sekar nodded, still waiting for what Ema was about to say after this.

"I have loved Juna ever since he was the husband of my sister. I only saw her for a while, Sekar, but I realized I couldn't get over Eva's feelings, but now Eva's mom isn't there either, so there's no harm in me continuing the duties mbak Eva as the wife of mas Arjuna?

Sekar was a bit of a shock, not expecting that it turned out that Ema had been harboring feelings for the man long enough even before Eva died. Spa needs him to say that to Arjuna? Ah, Sekar paused it because it felt it was none of his business. Just smiling and nodding, she was quite a good listener for Ema and Arjuna even though she was now feeling a little confused by her suddenly strange heart.

"Hopefully the engagement and wedding event and mas Juna and Mbak go well. Just pray for it, Ma'am," said Sekar with a small smile.

"Thank you, Sekar. I hope also our relationship is getting closer because I also do not have a sister, I will be like Arjuna who thinks you are like my own sister."

Just nodding again. However, for some reason, there was another side of his heart that seemed to be in revolt and rejecting the reality he had just heard from that Ema. Don't know what. It's too abstract, not predictable.
