" Thank you very much Win. If there is no you..."
Edwin immediately touched Claire's upper arm with a smiling face as her fiance looked at her with earnestness. Makes Claire's words paused.
"Hey don't do that, he'll be my son too. So, it's my business too, hm!"
This is what Claire was afraid of. The more here, the more unsettled feeling gnawed at his heart because of Edwin's increasingly warm treatment. How could he not have any feelings at all towards the good man in front of him. And why is he always thinking about Sadawira and his threats?
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Tomorrow Mama will come. So, I'll delay my return. Mama wants to express her pain and wants to talk to you. Don't be afraid, Mama might just want to apologize!"
He also smiled back at Edwin despite being half pushy. Is all this right? Will he be able to go through it all?
He who yesterday was upset because Wira even called him now becomes restless because the man did not contact him at all.
Hah, the definition of a woman is contradictory.
And as always, the day we fear comes sooner. Mama Edwin named Mrs Siska that night came with her son on time.
Claire's family who knew if their prospective besan came were seen marching in welcome. Incidentally, these few days there are still many people who come to say condolences.
Although Papa David and Mama Jessika have found out about Sadawira, but they have not even had a chance to discuss it with her sister.
Claire who was still accompanying Neo could hear a boisterous voice up ahead. Confirm that Mama Edwin has arrived.
" Mom, why didn't Uncle come see me? Has he returned to Atana? When are we going home, ma'am?" said Neo moody.
The boy had urged Claire to contact Sada. But as usual, Claire always tickled so that her son did not discuss it again. Not because of anything, he just doesn't want his dad to know and be angry.
" Mom, try calling Uncle. You have her phone number, right?"
Claire's confused. The friendship that was created between his son and Sadawira seems too deep. Avoiding as much as possible is what he can do.
TOK TOK TOK
The knock on the door made Claire seem helped because she could delay giving the difficult answer.
Thank goodness!
" Edwin's mother came. Meet there first!" melodi who is now moving in.
" Why are you here?" asked the brother with furrowed brows.
" You go there, meet the future Mother-in-law. Let me get Neo!"
Neo stayed because he did not understand what they were talking about. After all, even though the boy's body was not too hot, his joints were still painful.
After Claire's death, Melodi now enjoys her time together with her niece.
" Not sleepy?"
Neo nodded. Sort of affected by insomnia but in the lackluster version.
"You want aunty's bribe? That's the reason why it's just eating so much?" ask Melodi while glancing at a bowl of food that is only eaten a little.
Instead of answering, Neo instead corrected his reclining position a little higher. The boy looked at the aunt's face expectantly.
" Aunty, can I ask you a favor?"
Melody looked at the pale face of her nephew with a look of wonder. What is this, Neo has never spoken this seriously to him.
" What's up Neo? You want anything? Want to eat something else?" offer seriously.
The boy now shook his head, "Can aunt tell Uncle handsome?"
" Handsome uncle?" repeat with a surprised face.
Neo nodded, "I've asked Mom many times to call her, but I don't want to!"
" Who is Uncle handsome?" ask Melodi who even looks like an interrogator.
" That uncle. He's a very nice guy. She said she was a donor at Neo School. Come on Aunty please! I haven't been able to read clearly, find Uncle's name on the phone. Please!"
A doubtful melody then sees her sister's phone left on the bed next to Neo. Make him grab the thing to check.
" The number I don't know. You're just being around. After all, why would a child as small as you befriend an adult anyway?"
" Aunty doesn't know. If you know it, too. His people are so nice. Try to find Aunty, please!"
And the expectant face of the innocent Neo managed to tear down all the doubts that were raised.
All right, then, let's try to find. Maybe he could find something on his sister's phone. After all, it's just calling, not terrorizing.
" That melody is!" the girl was proud.
" Have you met?" ask the nephew to see the aunt's sumringah reaction.
" What's the name of the donor?" ask Melodi while scrolling through the phone to find out the name of the contact in her brother's history.
" If it's not wrong, the teacher called Mr. Sadawira!"
DEG
" What?" melodi was shocked half dead.
Neo to tiptoes because his aunt screeched too loudly. Neo even became howled as the face of his lips became strange Kaka shock.
" What did you say?" asked Melody who was really surprised. Damn, why is it the same name?
" Mr. Sadawira. The teacher said so!" neo said while grunting. This aunt is really a bitch.
Melody lashed. Why should that name?
" MK!" make him cluck.
But wait, why did he have to be in shock? Opening that name could be the same as someone else's. Like himself for example. There must be hundreds of Melody names in this world besides her right?
Makes his anxiety slowly fade away.
" No, it must be a coincidence!" melodic murmur that makes Neo gawk in confusion.
" Why is Aunty talking to herself anyway?"
" No. Yeah, we're trying to find the Donor, okay?"
Neo nodded. She doesn't care about her suddenly weird aunt. Adults are like that.
And when Melodi managed to find one contact name named Mr. Donor, he spontaneously made a video phone call.
" Smart is also a boy. This is why Claire got Donor's number but yeah?"
He is sure because in Claire's contact there is only one name with the Donator keyword. And without waiting any longer, Melodi instantly saw the contact number.
Foreign numbers in Indonesia that do not have a profile photo.
" Have you met aunty?" ask Neo impatiently.
" Aunty's not sure, but we'll try? CK, anyways little amak why could have a friend Donator!" shakes in disbelief as he starts making calls.
They chatted while waiting for the call to be answered.
" Did Aunty succeed?" Neo asked impatiently.
" It's been ringing, let's wait a minute. If he is not picked up three times, he is busy. Besides, this is Aunty's still trying. If it's wrong, you're responsible!"
Neo tekrik-kik as well as Melodi. What a silly duo that's so clop up tonight.
But some time later, their optimistic attitude turned into despair because until the call of the two numbers never answered.
" I think he's busy, Yo. Again, we try. If you can't, Neo promises not to!"
Neo nodded. Approve that light diplomacy. At least Aunty was willing to help him. Not like Mom.
But the screen that suddenly changed with the sound of crumbles made the two turn their heads. Yup!
Obviously their calls were raised.
" Claire, what's wrong?"
DEG
But a voice that came to Melodi's ears made the girl instantly stunned. Now, it's not just the heart of the melody that seems to be out of place. The gaped mouth became the confirmation of Claire's sister's surprise to see the face of the man her family had been avoiding.
" Sa-Sadavira!"
