The Forsaken Heart Flakes
Chapter 5

The morning ....

Busy activities since the last two weeks made Nadira wake up first. Before the dawn of dawn, the young woman had woken up and immediately prepared all the needs of Tiara, ranging from formula milk, clothes, and diapers owned by the baby he had prepared in a special box. Nadira was always prepared like that so that Mother Susan as her in-laws did not mess up the baby stuff. This time Nadira also wiped the baby's body so that during the day he was not too worried Tiara felt uncomfortable like yesterday.

"Sorry Mama who has to wipe your body early in the morning like this, yes, son," said Nadira before she wiped Tiara's body using a small towel that had been moistened with warm water.

Maybe because the baby was still feeling cold, he was a little fussy to make Danu who was still asleep, feeling disturbed because he heard the sound of Tiara crying.

"Nad, why is Tiara you're so noisy, anyway? Can't you stop it? I'm still sleepy!" the man shouted from inside the room. He had no idea that Nadira was currently wiping Tiara in the living room.

Tiara's cry instead of subsiding after hearing Danu's cry, the baby returned to crying because of surprise and fear to make Nadira accelerate her movement.

"Dear, Son. Its alright. It's just your voice, baby!" Nadira tried to stop the crying from Tiara. However, the little baby did not immediately stop crying and made Danu approach them.

"Oh my God, Nadira! You're crazy, aren't you? Why should I–lap Tiara's body this early, anyway? I'm not going to take a shower later!" sergeant Danu as he looked at the small basin filled with water with Tiara's body wrapped in a towel.

"I also did this by force, Mas. Never mind bathing Tiara, Mama did not even replace clothes for her. Do I have to leave my son in an uncomfortable state?" Nadira began to wear telon oil and clothes on her son after Tiara's crying subsided.

Danu looked surprised when she heard Nadira's reply. Of course he did not believe what his wife said because he trusted his mother, Susan.

"Don't make it up again, Nadira! You think I'm gonna trust all those charges to Mom? There's no way Mom can do that, Tiara is also her granddaughter!"

Nadira who was wearing clothes for Tiara immediately stopped the movement of her hand instantly. He turned his head and looked at Danu who was standing next to the door of the room.

"Do you think I'd be that defamatory mother, Mas? I also have no intention of vilifying him in front of you. But, if you can't trust me anymore, whatever!"

Nadira was hurt by Danu's attitude which always considered him weak. Every time Nadira complained about the attitude of Susan's mother, Danu always thought that it was just Nadira's reasoning to get her attention and make the relationship between her and her mother worse.

Without answering Nadira's words, Danu chose to take a towel and passed away to go to the bathroom. She left Nadira who is currently holding tightness in the chest because her speech was not digubris at all by the man who became her husband.

"Even you don't seem to care how Tiara feels, Mas" muttered Nadira as she rubbed her suddenly watery eyelids.

If it had been like this, the young lady could only go back to silence and lament her fate alone. One of Nadira himself who used to not listen to the words of his parents that forbid him to rush to marry Danu. Nadira thought, Danu will not change his attitude. However, after almost five years of marriage, Nadira only realized that Danu did not fully love him and his family.

Father, Mother .. I'm sorry I never obeyed your words, Nadira's mind.

Tiara started crying again because she felt cold. Nadira had not finished dressing him up and was busy daydreaming. Hearing Tiara's cry, Nadira regained consciousness from her daydreams and immediately finished her work that had been delayed.

"Sorry Mama, Son. Because Mama daydreams, you get cold," said Nadira as she hugged Tiara and gave her ASI.

After Tiara drank enough milk, Nadira began to lay the girl on the bed, while she had to take a shower and immediately prepared to go back to work in the factory.

"Mas, I'll take Tiara for a second, take a shower!" pinta Nadira to her husband who is now looking in the mirror while styling his hair. In fact, usually Danu never pay attention to his appearance, let alone to wear a fragrance that is so stinging in the nose. However, after these past few months Danu did it all. In fact, not infrequently Nadira found a receipt of groceries in the form of self-care equipment, but not his, but Danu himself.

"Ish, you're so chatty, Nad! What a hard thing you just put Tiara on the bed and let her play by herself" Danu replied without turning her back because the man was still busy with hair gel in his hands.

"I don't mean to be fussy, Mom. I just asked you to watch Tiara while I take a shower. I didn't ask you to carry her" said Nadira, who had just walked out of the room.

Inevitably, Danu finally allows Nadira to go clean up, while she herself continues to be busy with her activities and does not care about Tiara who is now staring at her.

Nadira took a quick shower. He knew that he could not rely on Danu to take care of Tiara. Not to mention he had to leave for work immediately because if it got a little late, then he would be stuck in traffic on the road.

"Mas, I'm asking for money." Nadira held her hand in front of Danu.

"What's the money for, Nad?" danu asked with a look of annoyance because Nadira dared to ask him for money.

"To buy Tiara formula milk, Mas. The milk is a little more. If it were for tomorrow, it wouldn't be enough. So, I'm asking for money now so that I can go home and buy some milk, '" replied Nadira who just remembered that formula milk for her daughter had stayed a little longer.

"Oh my goodness, Nad .... Why are you so wasteful? Can't you manage it sparingly?"

"You're kidding me, Mas? How am I supposed to keep my hat while Mommy Nia always gives Vino Tiara's formula, huh?"

"You mean, Vino likes to drink Tiara's milk?"

Vino is Danu's niece, her son Nia who is three years old. However, the child still always asked to make milk to his mother, but because Nia and her husband did not have more money, so they gave Tiara's milk to participate consumed by Vino.

"Of course he is, Mas. Who else is it?" nadira asked with annoyance because Danu never gave money to buy her daughter's formula. Had Nadira not needed to work, then he would not have bought formula milk for Tiara. Nadira could have given ASIP, but he was not sure about his mother-in-law who would bother managing ASIP for Tiara.

After hearing the answer from Nadira, Danu forced to give money to buy formula.

"This is the money!" Danu threw fifty thousand bills as much as two pieces in front of Nadira's face. "Eat him do not wastefully give his milk. Let's last!" keep the man again.

Nadira gawked for a moment when he heard Danu's last words. How could the man say that to his own daughter. Actually Nadira was upset because Danu treated her like a begging person, but because she still needed the money, Nadira finally resigned and received such treatment from her own husband.

"Patience, Nadira .... After you receive your paycheck, you no longer need to accept this kind of insult, "the young woman's inner self while picking up the money that Danu had just thrown at her.
