Bummer. Sheera shifted her body aside. With mixed feelings he tried to calm down as both of his hands continued to rinse the dishes.
Deg
Once again Syera was shocked as she felt a chill on her cheek. He did not know since when the man was in the kitchen and stood beside him even glued the cup of soursop juice he had seen in the refrigerator to his cheek.
Nah!
"Drink!"
"Huh?" Just now Syera heard the sound of a straw piercing the cup cover made of plastic and suddenly she was told to drink the contents.
"Take and drink or I throw it away?"
Between orders or threats, Syera cannot tell the difference. His still foaming hand grabbed the cup of dear soursop juice if it had to be thrown away. He put it around the sink and would drink it after his work was done.
"Drink!" orders again.
"Later wait for the cell"
Slurpp
"Hold it yourself!"
Syera could only resign when Leo suddenly grabbed the soursop juice and put the tip of the straw into his mouth while he was talking. Syera who really wanted it from earlier unknowingly immediately sucked it.
"spend!"
Honestly Syera felt awkward when accepting it. He turned his body back to Leo to finish the juice as instructed.
Paid already desire Syera to drink soursop juice let alone juice made by aunt Retno was different from that sold outside. He did not think of Leo still standing behind him.
"Sheera?" call someone to the kitchen. "Syera, where are you?"
A familiar voice to Syera and a voice she had heard every day for several months.
"You here?" asked Fandy frowned seeing Leo who was also in the kitchen not far from the girl's position.
"Yes, brother. I helped auntie wash the dishes."
"Oh... Which aunt?"
"For coffee nganterin for Mr. Asep," replied Syera as it is.
Leo, who was still there, opened the fridge and took out a bottle of ice water and brought him the shirt in the kitchen. Then Leo poured the ice water into the glass as if ignoring Syera and Fandy.
"That's what?"
"It's soursop juice, brother."
"You like it?"
"Yes, brother. Nice and seger."
Slurpph...
"Oh, huh?"
Fandy took the juice that Syera was drinking and immediately drank it. She was shocked because it was so sudden. The girl was sculpting because Fandy used his used straw. Syera watched as the straw she was using was between Fandy's upper and lower lips.
Glug
Syera swallowed her saliva and thought whether Fandy did not feel disgusted using his used straw.
Not far from them Leo who had been watching the two was no less surprised by what Fandy did even ice water that entered his mouth like a pebble that was difficult to swallow.
"Sweet and sweet" said Fandy, with a smile on his lips. "This" thrusts the juice back to the lips of Sherah.
"Quick spend and after we go home. It's night, tomorrow we have to work too."
"I-iya, brother," replied Syera nodding.
"Smart boy," stroking straight and long hair Syera.
Fandy's actions tonight are incomprehensible to Syera. Kindness and attention are the characters that you have. Syera is used to getting sweet treatment from Fandy but tonight why it feels different for Syera. There was something strange about Syera and made her feel a little awkward.
"I'm waiting in front yeah," said Fandy and left Syera without caring about the whereabouts of Leo who was still silently sculpting.
Retno's new aunt asked Syera to come forward and the unfinished dishwasher work was continued by Retno's aunt.
While heading to the family room Syera heard the voice of an argument from Fandy and Mama Mila who although not so strong but can be sure that the mother and child are in a conversation that is not in line.
Leo who realized it immediately approached the two and almost put his hand on Fandy's cheek. Fortunately, Mama Mila was so quick to hold Leo back otherwise things would get more precarious.
"Leo?" snapped mama Mila.
"But he's not polite with mom. Although not the person who was born to him but at least the mother who has grown him with the affection that you have."
"Whatever the reason shouldn't be she raised her voice the same as mama. He should know himself and remember that he's a foster kid."
Plaque!
"Enough!" Mama Mila.
Everyone was dumbfounded when Mama Mila slapped Leo even Retno's aunt who was in the kitchen ran because of the noise.
"Mama slap Leo?"
Leo's voice sounded heavy. He never imagined that his mother, the woman he loved so much and respected, would throw a slap at him. His intentions want to defend but even he who gets his sap.
Let alone Leo, Syera and Fandy until stunned to see what Mama Mila did.
"Mama, don't you realize that you slapped Leo, ma?" ask Leo again.
"You go home. Mama apologized for that, next time we can talk again," Mila's mom told Fandy.
"Ma?" furious Leo.
Feeling ignored and instead asking Fandy and Syera to come home makes Leo hurt. Yep. For the first time Leo felt a hand blow that had always been stroking his head, stroking his hair and even wiping tears when he was in a state of slump. But tonight the soft hand felt like a thorn that pierced the skin and left a mark.
Not a trace that can be seen because of course over time will disappear but a trace that can only be felt by a Leo heart.
Angry, sad and angry. Everything's mixed up. Leo does not get angry at Mama Mila or become resentful because until now the middle-aged woman will remain the first love that can not be replaced by any woman.
Leo realized that his words to the fandy were what made him slapped. It's just that he did not accept Mama Mila doing that in front of Fandy and witnessed also by Syera.
With the mood raging with no strings attached Leo immediately took the car keys and left the house just like that.
"Mama's okay?" fandy gently led Mama Mila to sit on the sofa.
Mama Mila's tears began to flow with her cries.
"Your sister must be very angry and hate mama, right?"
"No, ma. He loves you, Mama" said Fandy, trying to cheer.
"Mom sorry, you must also be angry with mama for banning you with-"
Mama Mila did not continue her words when she saw Syera coming with a glass of water.
"Drink first, aunt." Syera handed a glass in her hand to Fandy to give to Mama Mila.
"Drink, ma."
Syera was happy when Mama Mila drank the water. Although only water but this is for the first time Mama Mila received what Syera gave.
While still living in the house, Syera remembers several times she drove water and food to Mama Mila's room when sick but not touched at all.
"Go home. Mama's fine."
"But mama still-"
"Mama wants a break" interrupted Mila's mother.
Syera follows Fandy as she takes Mama Mila to rest in her room. His hands immediately quickly positioned the pillow and pulled the blanket to cover the waist.
Soon Fandy and Syera return to the apartment. The atmosphere of the car was so quiet because neither Fandy nor Syera opened their voices.
Curiosity instantly appeared
mind Shera. He was so curious about what Fandy and Mama Mila had discussed that they had a disagreement that led to Mama Mila to slap Leo.
Syera's intention was to wait until she reached the apartment to ask but she was impatient. Syera asked so carefully.
"Sister?" call Syera and Fandy just looks at her.
"Actually what was the conversation with aunt Mila? Not usually brother Fandy difference understand with aunt Mila?"
No answer was given by Fandy. He just stared straight ahead and continued to bring up the car.
"Sister?" call Syera again in such a gentle tone.
"I'm driving."
Syera locked her mouth and no longer spoke. He believes there's something Fandy is hiding. Far away he threw away his curiosity because whatever the reason Fandy and Mama Mila had a disagreement of course there was no relationship with him, that's what Syera thought.
Upon their arrival at Syera's apartment went straight into the room. Actually, since then, he has been uncomfortable with the heels he wears. His legs are really sore and bruised. He wants to quickly fall down, straighten both legs while massaging them.
Fandy stopped shortly after Syera closed the door to his room. He recalled the time when he had a disagreement with Mama Mila and told her to throw away what she felt to Syera.
"You. It's because of you."
Fandy said it in his heart. It felt like he wanted to say all of what was in his heart right now but it didn't seem like the time yet.
