The Pesona Duda Perjaka
Chapter 33 An Answer

Finished spending time to the market, cooking and continuing with lunch together, Kirana accompanied Mama Lia forwarding the stitching order in the living room.

“Ki, did Sebastian ask you for a leave of absence today to start getting ready to learn to be a good wife ?” Asked Mama Lia in a seductive tone to her daughter.

“Mama meant that Kiran could be married soon ?” Kirana laughed softly.

“Wah mama's son is already smart about marriage. Are you ready to get married young ?”

“Haaiiss Mama, if Kiran says ready, will papa and mama allow ? Moreover Sebastian is a widower.”

“Not it is popular if the widower is more charming,” said mama Lia while chuckling.

“So mama is willing if I marry Sebastian even if widower ? Is it because Sebastian is duren palm ?”

Mama Lia stopped her activity and looked at Kirana with a frown.

“Moreover that duren palm ?” Ask mama Lia.

“Cool young lad with money, Ma,” says Kirana while chuckling.

Mama Lia laughs with her head.

“There's just your term, Ki. Just don't let people think you're a materialistic woman.”

“Sebastian himself who added the term palm, Ma,” Kirana chuckled. “Kiran just told Sebastian that he was a duren, uh even ditsmbahin that duren palm.”

The two laughed together again. Kirana got up from the sofa and headed for the kitchen to take two glasses of water for her and mama Lia.

“Ma,” call Kirana a little slowly as she is already sitting back on the sofa. “Yesterday Kiran met Aunt Rosa and was invited to chat together.”

Mama Lia instantly stopped the movement of her legs and hands on the sewing machine and looked at Kirana with a somewhat worried face.

“What did he hurt you ?”

“No, Ma,” Kirana shook her head. “It is common with the mouth of Aunt Rosa whose pedes exceed the level of chili powder 15.”

“Did Aunt Rosa interfere with your relationship with Sebastian ? They're still family, right?”

Mama Lia left her sewing job and moved to sit next to Kirana.

“It doesn't matter either, Ma. Sebastian is always there for Kiran.”

Mama Lia smiled and stroked her daughter's hair.

“Tante Rosa offends mama,” Kirana said.

Mama Lia's face suddenly tensed up and took a deep breath.

“Actually Kiran has been thinking about it for a long time. About mama's name. But mama once replied that the name Lia looks more commercial for mama's stitching business than Dewi.”

Mama Lia just fell silent. Kirana embraced her mother's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder.

“Kiran is an adult, Ma. Moreover, if it has anything to do with the Pratama family, Sebastian promises to still stand by Kiran.”

Mama Lia looked at her daughter's face and again caressed Kirana's face affectionately.

“The incident had nothing to do with the Pratama family, Ki. But the family of Madam Rosa.”

“Kiran is ready to be a listener and friend vent mama,” Kirana smiled widely to make mama Lia also smile.

“You know that the school where mom teaches belongs to Steven's family from his mother's side ?”

Kirana nodded her head in response to mom's question.

“So also the company where papa works is owned by the family of Mrs Rosa, not the family Pratama.”

“So Aunt Rosa comes from a family of being too, Ma ?”

“Iya. Who holds the school and factory are his two younger brothers.”

Kirana just stood still and took the sofa pillow over her thigh.

“Mr Roland, who is believed to hold the school is a crocodile man who is never satisfied with one woman. Already have a beautiful wife, smart and come from a family to be, still like snacks outside. Some female teachers at school, ranging from Elementary School to High School had been near him. And the problem is that the female teachers approached already have husbands.”

“Include mom ?”

“Iya,” mama Lia nodded. “And maybe mama is one of the worst because she was almost harassed by Mr. Roland.”

Kirana clenched both her hands with a furious face. He still had enough memory of Mr. Roland's face. Several times the man came to school to attend special events at school.

“But God still protects mom. Not yet harassed, Miss Winda and Miss Maryam who had not returned home that afternoon, could suddenly want to meet the mother who was still in the UKS room, woke up Kendra who was still sleeping. They were witnesses of Mr. Roland's deeds that day.”

“Did no teacher report it, Ma ?”

“The teachers that Mr. Roland approached were just being seduced and Mama was the first to be harassed. Initially Bu Winda and Bu Maryam prevented mama from reporting to the foundation board for fear that mama would be fired.”

“What papa knows too, Ma ?”

“Mama recounted the incident to papa after a few days later. I am thankful that my father was an understanding husband. Not only comforting my mother, but also supporting my mother to bring this case to the school foundation board. But unfortunately Miss Winda and Miss Maryam did not dare to be witnesses to the reports of mama. They are afraid of losing their jobs.”

“So mama didn't manage to ask the school to sue Mr Roland?”

“In fact, the purpose of papa and mama is not just to find support let alone be considered a hero for daring to dismantle the actions of Mr. Roland, but to prevent that no other teacher experienced the same thing.”

“Why has Kiran never heard of that problem, Ma ?” Kiran frowned.

“You are still too small, baby,” said Mama Lia while laughing slowly.

“What mama managed to make Mr. Roland responsible.”

“It doesn't work because all foundation people are equally afraid of losing their jobs. But God still opens another way. Lady Deswita, Mr. Roland's wife, came to see mom and dad. She will help our intentions because she can not stand the behavior of her husband. The family of Mrs Deswita who is quite influential finally sent a special team to dismantle the rottenness of her husband until it ends in divorce.”

“Then what does this have to do with papa, Ma ?”

“Mr Arnold, the sister of Mr. Roland and Mrs Rosa, who held the company where papa worked, did not accept that his brother was humiliated as such by his wife, and considered papa and mama as allies of Mrs Deswita. Papa is therefore moved to an area with varying pressure. In the position of papa increased to head of the factory, but his salary was actually lowered, not given a house of service like company rules, but placed in the employee mess. And not satisfied to see papa keep running wholeheartedly all that is done by Mr. Arnold, someone deliberately paid people to sabotage in the factory to ruin the good name papa.”

“Waste drain leakage problem, Ma ?”

“Iya,” mama Lia nodded. “And before we moved in, Mrs Rosa went to see mom. Many insults were thrown by him, and what makes you angry the most is when you are considered as an unrighteous woman who continues to approach Steven. Not only that, Miss Rosa also had time to spread the issue in the school environment, which was contrary to the reality about Mr. Roland and mama. Circulating rumors that mama deliberately seduces Mr. Roland and makes you bait to approach Steven in order to get a better life because it can not stand the hard life with your papa.”

“Basic family criminals all !” Omel Kirana with a furious tone. Both of his hands clenched tightly.
