The Tears of Shafira
CHAPTER 30

“Who is he, Shafira? Is he your family?”

The man's voice startled Shafira and suddenly she nodded her head.

“Yes, she's my Tante!” Shafira answered while poking Renata's hand and winking at him.

Renata is a middle-aged woman who has enjoyed the salt acid of life, until she knows what Shafira's words mean. He had no idea who the man who had just entered was surprising to him. However-whatever the man's relationship with Shafira-his arrival has made Shafira lie about who Renata really is.  

Renata could easily deduce if there was an unnatural problem between the two. He stood up and shook Erick. The man had just finished his meeting and headed straight for the hospital. He remembered his promise that would invite Shafira not to be helped again by Ardan. The man could have picked up Shafira and brought her home.

“Halo, I am Renata, Shafira Tante, how are you?” ask Renata kindly.

“Good!” erick replied briefly, and replied to the middle-aged woman's hand post before him.

Erick felt awkward, he did not know much about his Shafira-wife brother, so it was natural that he did not know who Renata was. He should be ashamed if Shafira told how she had been doing to his brother.

All this time Erick has been wrong, he ignores the existence of Shafira's brother who can sue him. What if they don't want their mother gone because of her. However, let alone the matter of brother, what pleasure Shafira did not know.

Erick sharpened his gaze and he slightly doubted that Renata was Shafira's true brother, as his clothes and appearance seemed very different. He is so elegant and his style seems to come from the upper class like his family.

“What Aunt has been here for a long time?” erick asked, sitting on the sofa and putting his HP on the table.

“Mas Erick! I hope you'll let my Tante!” shafira. He is worried that Erick will expel Renata because he does not know her.  

Renata smiled gently at Shafira and Erick in turn, saying, “I've been around a while too! But, I'm going home. Thankfully, Shafira is feeling better. I'm putting it on you again, huh? Take good care of her this time, lest she get sick again!”

Renata's advice seemed to know the relationship between Erick and Shafira, but he did not know how the husband and wife were in their home. The woman, using only her proper instincts on the target.

Erick is very embarrassed by Renata's advice. He smiled and nodded.

“Sure, forgive me! I'll take better care of it this time!” sahut Erick surprised Shafira.  

Erick's answer is beyond Shafira's expectations, he suspects Erick's change may have been due to Renata's presence among them. However, his attitude might change again if Renata leaves.  

Renata brings two grandchildren who are still playing in the lap of Shafira.

“Zain, Zian, come! We're home now, honey!” said Renata while keeping the bag on his shoulder.

“Nmobile!” zian said, the girl was spoiled for Shafira.  

Renata was stunned, because Zian had been difficult to adapt to just anyone. However, Shafira looks different, she gives sincere affection to the children. Children usually have pure instincts, so that they can feel good people and people who only pretend to be good.

“Zian! Don't you see, Om Erick is here and Aunt Shafira is coming home!” Renata tried to persuade.

Shafira felt warmth in her heart and body due to Zian's embrace on her neck. He feels peace in a family.

“Tante, let them here in a moment, huh?” pinta Shafira, “Where, may I, Mas? They no longer have a mother, it seems they miss the affection of a mother!”  

Shafira said that not without reason, she knew a little about Zain and Zian, because Renata had told her about who the mother of the twins was. He was concerned that he had lost a child, while the twins had lost their mother.

Erick looked at the two cute twins and his wife, then he nodded with a heavy heart. He actually wanted to go home, but could not bear to see the closeness of the two children if separated from Shafira.

“Sorry, Miss Renata, I lied about you ..!” shafira said after Erick's departure from her room.

“No problem, is he your husband and you guys have a problem?”  

Shafira just nodded lethargicly with a downcast face.  

“Already suspected! I hope, after this your relationship will be better!”

“Bu, I'm here because I lost a baby candidate who has been in my womb for two months!”

“Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sorry, can't help much!”

“Bu, the help you now give me is enough for me!” Shafira said as she hugged Renata and accidentally shed tears.

“Alright, I go first then, I don't want Riyan to come, then our charade will be revealed!” renata said with a smile, he took down two twins from Shafira's bed.

“Alright, once again thank you! Make Zian and Zain, you go home first, yeah! Aunty promise, if you are healthy, will see you again!”

“Appointment?” said Zian while giving one of his pinkies.  

“Ya!” said Shafira gave her pinky as well. Similarly, Zain, the boy did not talk much, but he also enjoyed playing with Shafira.

They left after binding each other's promises and waving their hands. Renata goes straight to Riyan's private room and sends her a message.

Shortly after, Eirck came up with a prescription drug in a small paper bag. Without saying words, he immediately cleaned up some of his personal items that he had brought since yesterday.  

Meanwhile, Shafira changes her hospital clothes with the clothes her husband brought.

After that a guard helped bring their goods to the parking lot.

Erick drove the car at a moderate pace, no chatter going on between them. Except at the red light and the car stopped, Wulan called Erick and the man accepted.

Shafira threw her face to the side, after which her husband started talking to his interlocutors on the phone.

“Halo—ya, I'm home now with Shafira!” Erick.

“No problem, he's fine! No need to wait for me!” he said again after being silent for a while.

“Alright, I know!”

The phone was closed and Erick continued driving because it coincided with a green light that was already on.

“What Wulan still lives in your house?” shafira asked suddenly after being silent for quite a while.

Erick turned his head for a while and looked back at the street, continuing to drive.

“What do you mean ask like that? Of course he's still there, it's our home too!” said Erick flat.  

“Nothing, I just asked,” said Shafira hiding the pain in her heart while keeping secret the divorce lawsuit that will be filed with Erick as a surprise from her.
