"So, who are they?!"
Zizi again asked after the noodle seller delivered their order.
"And you knew it yourself! He's Bang Seno. And the girl is the girl" Cyra replied as she stirred her fried chicken dumpling noodles.
"Yes, about that name I heard! What I'm asking is, what is your relationship with them?!"
"Bang Seno is my former boss! He owns a pretty famous karaoke place here. If the girl I just met."
"Oh, that! So, what is your business with Nita? If not wrong earlier you were talking about keelas, keel what?! You have the same debt as that woman?!"
Zizi looked suspiciously.
"Yes! I owe him two million. Actually, the debt is to Bang Seno! But, Ma'am Nita guarantees. But now it's gone, really!" bright Cyra.
"Ra, sorry, but before! Actually, if you may know, what do you owe here and there, anyway?! Yesterday you owed me ten million. And now two million in debt. What money do you use for? Not for anything weird, are you?!"
"That's it! You calm down, Zi! Surely the money is useful for good, really!"
Cyra is still standing.
"But for what?! Ok, I'm sorry about the debt! Because of me, you get scolded by your father, even kicked out of the house!"
Zizi regretted, because indirectly, it was he who had made Cyra live as hard as it is today.
"Now, don't talk about it anymore! I'm okay, you are!"
"But, Ra! Please, be honest with me! Actually you need money for what, so you recklessly work by secretly behind Kak Ditya?!" todong Zizi was still curious.
"Yuufth!!"
Cyra breathed a deep and heavy breath.
"Recycle your food! Once we get to work with the group, I'll take you somewhere."
Cyra finished her meal.
Sipping warm sweet tea to the toilet.
Honestly, Cyra heavily said that to Zizi. She was afraid she would complain about her activities to her papa if the girl found out.
But, on second thought he had to tell Zizi the problem. After all, Cyra was also tired of being held by Zizi with the same question.
Perhaps, with him being honest with Zizi, he could help his current predicament, considering that he was no longer working.
Now there is no income anymore, even though spending is a lot.
"Eh, where?!"
Zizi.
"To a place that will give you answers, without me a long story!"
Finished doing schoolwork, here they are.
In an old house, in the corner of the city far enough from the crowd, it appears by Zizi that some people with special needs and ODGJ (People with Mental Disorders) and children of homeless and beggars (GePeng ) live with great concern.
"Ra, what do you mean you brought here?!" ask Zizi lirih.
His heart was in revolt seeing the state of the old house with the inhabitants who .. ah, Zizi could not explain it in words.
"You want to know what I need money for, right?!"
Cyra answered Zizi's question with a question as well.
"Well, here's the answer to your question that I'm really hard to answer."
"Ja-so, all this time you need a lot of money for them?!"
"Yes!"
"Why don't you just be honest with your father and brother, as well as your husband?! Why are you covering this up from them?!"
"It's not as easy as asking for money to buy a branded bag, Zi!" cyra lirih.
"But why?!"
Again, again and again Zizi asked why?
Actually why?
Why isn't Cyra being honest with her family?!
The answer is, because among the inhabitants of the old house there is someone who can affect and disturb his inner calm.
"You see the middle-aged woman in the corner of this room, Zi?!"
Cyra pointed at a woman in a negligee dress who was seen laughing and crying simultaneously.
In his hand was a beach hat that was very shabby. The hat was held tightly, as if it should not be lost from its reach.
"I feel familiar with the look on his face. But, where do I see it?!" mummy Zizi.
The girl thought hard, I guess she had seen him where, huh?!
"Oh, God! May you give him healing!!" pekik Zizi was surprised.
"He ..."
Zizi was speechless again when she saw Cyra nod in affirmation.
"Oh, yes, canoe!! Loraaa!!"
Zizi immediately hugged Cyra after finding out who the depressed woman was.
The woman he saw in a frame in Cyra's room. Yes, the woman is Cyra's mother who had been thought to have died due to being dragged by the waves and was not found until the deadline for the search was stopped.
However, the fact is that Mama Cyra is still alive today, albeit with very concerning conditions.
This was the answer to the question he always pointed at Cyra. The girl never wanted to be honest with him.
Perhaps, a fact that is actually very painful when revealed.
"You're patient, yes, Ra! I'm sorry, I've always forced you with questions that have hurt your heart."
Cyra's cry finally broke in Zizi's arms.
"Beautiful girl, are you crying?"
A voice shocked both.
When their embrace was released, the owner of the voice jolted Zizi's body until the girl was stranded.
"How dare you make my Beautiful Girl cry!" snapped it.
"Go from here!"
The owner of the voice that turned out to be a woman they had just talked about was thunderous to the surprise of the occupants of the old house.
In fact, some were hysterically screaming.
A nurse tried to calm him down.
"Don't, Ma! Him, Zizi, my best friend!" prevent Cyra when the woman who turns out to be Cyra's mother hits Zizi with the handle of the broom she was holding, out of nowhere she got it.
"Young, jangaaan!!" he shouted as the handle of the broom was tangled to land on Zizi's body who only resigned to receive it.
"Pak Samsul, please inject my mama medicine, now!!" he shouted at the man in his late fifties who had just come from the direction inside the house.
"Okay, Non!"
"You're okay, aren't you, Zi?! Sorry, Mama hurt you! I shouldn't have taken you to a place like this."
Cyra helps Zizi wake up.
Seen several bruises due to the hit given by his mother just now.
"I'm okay, really!"
Zizi rubbed his body that was hit.
The pain starts to spread around the wound.
"By!"
Zizi saw Cyra covering her face hiding her cries.
"Ra! No, don't cry! I'm okay, you!"
"This is what I've been afraid of all this time, Zi! Please, promise! Don't tell anyone about this. At least until you recover and don't berserk anymore."
"Yes, Ra! I promise! But from now on, you also have to promise me! Whatever happens, you have to tell me! If you need anything, as long as I can and afford it, I'll help you!"
"Thank you, Zi! You are my best friend!"
The two embrace each other for the umpteenth time.
