My Maid And I
Part 72's. My Maid and I
Mina passed to a car parked in the yard of the house owned by neighbor Bu Ratmi, Mas Jono's mother. With a heavy heart, Mina took off her hug on her daughter Dwi Ariana. How not, he so wanted his son to come with him. But her daughter refused because she felt she was just a stranger.
Mina who was once fat and brownish skin, is one thing that is remembered by her daughter. Dwi thinks that he is a stranger because it is true, now it is so different 180°. Slim body and white skin make it different. One thing that disappointed him, his daughter had forgotten about him.
Mina approached Joko and left him a letter that he had written while in the hospital for Mas Jono. He spilled everything on the contents of the letter did not forget also the savings book that he had prepared for the needs of Dwi in the future. Dwi decided to join his uncle and grandmother, because Salimah Mas Jono's wife is currently not very fond of children.
After being in the car, Mina looked into the eyes of Mr. Adam who was looking at her with a fluffy smile.
"Is your business done, Mina...?" ask Mr. Adam to Mina. Mina just nodded and smiled.
The car driven by the driver passed away from the village and headed for a highway that was already crowded with vehicles. Not like a few years ago.
Arriving at the address, Mina got off at the parking lot that is specifically for parents who will visit their daughter's son. Because it was only the first time, Mina was looking for someone who might be the caretaker of this boarding school.
Arriving at the office of the manager with earlier delivered by a santriwati, he asked permission for the leader of the boarding school to meet with his son. A few minutes later, he saw a boy approaching him and sitting in his front seat.
"Is there anything I need to help...???" ask the boy sitting across from her.
Mina looked at her son who was currently growing up. Instantly her tears were dripping. Mina wiped her tears and smiled looking at the face of her son who was more dominant against Mas Jono's face on his face.
"Son..it's mom.." said Mina.
Eko, Mina's son's name, just stared intently at the woman who claimed to be his mother. Eko remembered her mother's voice. But for the face, as he remembered, the face and body and skin are different.
"Is this really mom...???" ask Eko.
Mina nodded with a smile. Eko grabbed his mother's hand and kissed it with tears.
"Will mom stay here...??? Not going to work anymore...???" ask Eko. Mina did not answer him and just smiled then asked permission from the head of the board of Pondok pesantren to invite Eko out for a while.
Mina takes Eko to the car that Mr. Adam is in. Arriving in the car, Eko was surprised to see a bule man sitting in the front seat smiling at him.
"Who's that, ma'am...?" ask Eko curious.
"He's..."
"I'm your father's candidate... Introduce my name Adam." said Mr. Adam as he raised his hand to shake his hand with Eko. Eko who was still digesting the English he heard while grabbing Mr. Adam's hand and kissing him.
"So, he's your son Mina...?" adam asked Mina. Mina nodded with a smile.
"Have you explained all our problems to him...?" Adam asked Mina again.
Adam just nodded his ass. Meanwhile, Eko, still a loyal listener, because he only understood a few words that were being ignored by his mother and the bule.
"Mom.. Where are we going...?" ask Eko curious.
"We're leaving for a while, I've asked the chairman for permission to take you out. I hope, later what I tell you, will not disappoint you." said Mina while looking at her son.
Arriving at a restaurant, Mina gets out of the car followed by her son and Mr. Adam and the driver. They were sitting in a comfortable place. They ordered the food there.
While waiting for the order to come, Mina stroked the arm of her son who had now grown tall and handsome. He did not expect that it would be this fast he saw Putraaya grow. It felt like just yesterday she gave birth to him and fed him fine porridge, trained him to speak and trained him to walk.
He is currently in the 2nd grade of Junior High. His more dominant son Mas Jono, looks handsome and dashing. Mina smiled happily. Adam who saw Mina smiling also felt the warmth of the woman to his son.
A moment later the food they ordered came.
They enjoyed the meal and occasionally Eko asked her mother to eat the food she had fed him. Mina smiled happily, as if her old happiness was coming back. Mina rubbed the head of her son who was wearing her pesantren.
After they finished eating, they were still sitting there eating the desert that had been ordered by Adam. Bow for them. Adam told the driver to wait in the car because they still had to talk about important things. After the driver left, Mina started talking to her son.
"Son. I mean to tell stories and say things that might upset you." said Mina softly.
Eko looked at his mother while eating the desert cake he had.
"You already know that your father and mother are separated and can't live together anymore...?" mina said as she grabbed her son's hand and held it tightly.
Eko stopped her show eating the desert and looked at her mother sadly. He nodded slowly and lowered. He knew his parents could no longer be together. He was just trying to be ordinary to his mother, even though he was so disappointed in his mother. He knew if the bule man was the man who made the estrangement of the relationship between Father and Mother. But he tried to toughen up. He did not want to know about such a complicated adult business. But he always tries to be positive.
"I'm sorry, son... I was wrong for not listening to you... Right now, even though mom is back, mom is only to ask for your blessing as a child, because mom is going to marry that bule. I can't go back to your father, other than that you don't deserve it, I think your father is happy with his life now. One thing you know, whatever the news about mothers abroad is not true. I never betrayed your father... Even if. So son.. mother please forgive mother. ..." said Mina wished to putranta.
"You'll know and understand when you grow up..." Mina stroked her son's head gently.
While Adam, looked at Mina and her son with a guilty look.
