The Heart of Old Menjakaka
259. Warmth of a family
The next day at Nurul's house.
"Fir, take Mama to the hospital, yuk!" invite Nurul while widening the door of Fira's room which is already open a little.
The woman had been sleeping since morning while playing cell phone in the room. No activities on holidays.
"What are you doing? Mama's sick?" tanyanya turned to the door. Then noticed Nurul who looked much more tidy and beautiful, there was a sling bag strap attached to his left shoulder.
"Take a look at Steven's son, he said Citra was born."
"Whoever the jengkuk, it's not important!" Fira rolled her eyeballs lazily, then rolled out her phone screen. See some posts of friends who are on vacation with their husband.
"Don't do it, Fir. However, Steven's mom is Mama."
"Yes, if you want to hug, Mama's there. Don't take me," he said.
"When can you bear Mama jengkuk alone? Not good dong."
"But I'm ashamed to see Mr. Angga. What if she quips me?"
"Nyindir what? Do you have the same fault with him? Kan naw. You're just his former son-in-law."
"Yes, I know. But I'm still ashamed. I hate the same image. Because of him my future is a mess."
"Mama also hates him, but we see Bu Sindi dong. If we don't come back bad. Bu Sindi's been so good with Mama." Nurul stepped into the room, then pulled the child's arm to make his body rise to sit. "When you go alone, you have a heart. Lonely mom knows."
"My mom is looking for a husband again! Rich people, let's not be lonely!" oceh Fira is upset.
"Udah don't talk to you much, Mama wait outside. If you don't want to go, Mama's sulking!" threaten Nurul out of the room.
Finally, after being persuaded Fira wanted to too. Even though actually going is not wholehearted.
"How was your mission to get close to your boss? What stage is it now?" nurul asked seraya.
Now he and Fira are sitting in the back seat of a taxi car. The car drove to the hospital.
"Tomorrow I'll set him up." Fira smiled cunningly.
"Guess how?"
"There's a point. Mama doesn't have to know." Fira smiled cunningly.
"Don't do anything weird, Fir. You're the new lahiran."
"It's not weird."
"But by the way, your boss is single, right?"
"Udah has a wife and two children."
Nurul's eyes were wide open. "Lho, it's a household apparently. Mama is still single."
"I don't have a problem, Ma. He wants someone's husband too. The important thing is handsome, sharp and not too old."
"But the same that widower is much safer, Fir. I fear he will be angry."
"He won't be angry, as long as he doesn't know, Ma."

After 30 minutes, they finally arrived at the hospital. The taxi stopped on the side of the road and both got off immediately after paying the fare.
"Ma, I want to buy some water at the restaurant first, yeah. Later I will follow," Pinta Fira while blocking Nurul's arm. The mother stopped her steps, then looked up.
"Yes, but not for long. Mama wait in Citra's room. You'll chat when you're out of the restaurant."
"Yes." Yeah." Fira nodded, then walked quickly across the road to the restaurant.
As he went inside, Fira immediately looked around. Looking for Tian and Nissa.
'Where are Mas Tian and Mbak Nissa? I saw it wrong, right?' his inner.
Fira's eyes finally fell on the table near the cashier. It turned out to be true, there was Tian and Nissa there.
Tian was mengoel nose pointed Nissa while chuckling. Seen the woman was similarly chuckling. It seemed like they were joking, and it seemed obvious that the two were so familiar.
'What is the relationship between the two of them? What can't-don't be dating?' batin Fira curious.
After seeing Nissa leave Tian from there, Fira stepped over to Tian who was already sitting on a chair. Looks like Nissa went to the toilet.
"Why are you here with Miss Nissa?" ask Fira without saying stale.
Tian who was talking to the waiter of the restaurant turned his head towards him. After ordering and letting the waiter go, he replied, "It's the restaurant, if you don't eat, drink the most."
"Yes, I know. But what's the connection between Mas and Nissa's mom? Are you guys dating?"
The question that Fira was asking coincided with Steven who had just stepped towards the cashier, about to pay for the food he bought on take away. But neither Fira nor Tian, both of them, knew of Steven's whereabouts.
"He's my future wife."
Fira's eyes are perfectly rounded. Surprised to hear her ex-husband's answer. "Is Mas crazy? Do you want to marry Nissa?"
"How come? And what's the matter with you? We're officially divorced, right?"
"There's no business. But why go with Nissa? And, would Nissanya's mother be the same, Mas?"
"Said no business. How do you ask?" Tian stared at Fira strangely with a frowning frown. "Udah go there. I don't want Nissa to be jealous and think nothing of us" she said. Even so, each of his words sounded soft and low-pitched. Not like Fira who already wears veins.
"But I don't want Mas and Nissa to get married! It's delicious!" angry Fira emotion. Fira did not want that until Tian who was happier than him. Not very sincere it feels.
"What the hell are you, Fir. That's my right, yes, to marry anyone. You also want to marry anyone please."
"But not Nissa Dong, Mas. In the past, I asked Mas to find his property Mas did not want, while now Mas wants to marry him!" Fira gritted her teeth with emotion. "Oh, or maybe Mas wants to drain his property alone. Let me not get that part?"
"Take your talk, Fir!" sentak Tian as he kicked off the table. Only now, the man spoke in a high tone to Fira. Because it's about self-esteem. Fira directly insulted him.
If the accusation is true, it does not matter, but this is not true.
"I never thought like that! What I'm doing right now is the form that I love her really!" firmly Tian.
"But I don't believe. Me and Nissa are so different. In terms of age I'm younger, so there's no way Mas can be that easy to forget me and love Ms. Nissa. She is also a widow, with one child. Is it okay to take care of stepchildren?" asked Fira with a raised chin.
Tian clenched both his hands. His chest felt rumbling. "Don't take care, Juna just asked for my life. I love him so much."
"Oh, I don't believe it. I must be lying."
"You believe it or not is up to you. What matters is that I'm honest. I love Nissa and Juna without any frills. All I see of them is the warmth of a family." Tian stared straight at it with a blank look. But his eyeballs looked teary.
'The warmth of a family?' steven's mind that had been standing there. He heard clearly what they were talking about.
"I also want, Fir, to have a wife who really loves me. Besides, I was born without a parent figure. I have never felt the love of my parents. And I feel unwilling, if the child is as cute and smart as Juna .. lack the affection of his father. Neither Nissa nor Juna. They deserve to be happy. And my job here is only to make her happy, not to hurt both of them" Tian added.
...It's about to melt ain't it, huh, Steven's heart, guys? 🥺...
