Lara's Pieces (When the Ex Returns)
My Little Girl

Salma continued to twist her brain, she was very curious, and was very sure it was a ring from Dimas, let alone Salma seeing Dimas also wearing a ring on his ring finger, he said, and it seemed that the ring that Dimas was wearing meant a lot to Dimas, because it seemed to twinkle happiness when Dimas saw the ring that was coiled around his finger. Salma is sure the ring that was worn yesterday bought together with Afifah, but if yes the same Dimas Afifah? Salma also thought it was Rani's ring, Dimas' late wife. But, couldn't it also belong to Rani? thought Salma. Salma never thought that it happened, especially if she had been the wife of Dimas, the childhood he continued to be her ex-husband's girlfriend?

“This is not funny!” cetus Salma, and made Afifa look at Salma.

“How funny, Mommy?” ask Afifah.

“Oh it's okay. Mommy thought that again, why are there buskers wearing clown clothes who joget-joget? He thought that you were wearing a funny costume, right? But, it's not funny? Is your dad serious?” obviously Salma was fretting with a bit of nervousness.

^^^

Salma tried to dismiss negative thoughts about Afifa and Dimas, but the more he tried to keep thinking about her. Moreover, he remembered the words of Dimas the other day when Dimas said that he now prefers ABG children. Salma keeps thinking that Dimas and Afifa secretly like each other and have a relationship.

They were so close, that Salma could not stop her mind from thinking about Dimas and Afifa. After returning from the airport, Salma still thinks about it, Salma still continues to think that Afifah has a special relationship with Dimas.

Askara sees Salma who is still pacing back and forth because she thinks of her son who most likely has a relationship with her ex-husband, Dimas.

“Sal? Why are you pacing back and forth from earlier?” ask Ask Askara.

“Dad here!” Salma pulled Askara's hand and took her to the room.

“What's up, Sal? What are you, anyway? Were you in the car shadowing me cosplay as a pokemon? Now just play around? Are you trying to make love to me?” askara said with flirtatious eyes.

“Ishh ... what the hell! Make love! Mommy wants to say important!” he said, then Salma looked out, making sure the front of his room was quiet. “Afifah where to? Still in his room, right?” ask Salma.

“Iya, still in her room,” replied Askara. “You said what the hell, babe?” ask Ask Askara.

“Shortly, briefly! Mother wants to catch her breath first! Hmmhh .. huh!” Salma took her breath and threw it away violently. “Huh!”

“Why, Mother? Huh huh?!” Askara is curious about his wife.

Salma was silent, looking at Askara's face, she tilted her face then closely watched Askara's face.

“This is my wife weird! What the hell are you doing?!” Askara is confused by his wife.

“Cambet ring!” hatchlings.

“Ring?” ask Ask Askara.

Salma nodded slowly. She was still confused as to where to tell her husband about the irregularities in his heart and mind.

“That's an Afifah ring, it's almost the same as the ring Dimas wore?” salma.

“Meanway? Similar to the ring that Dimas wore earlier?” ask Ask Askara.

Salma nodded her head quickly. Askara thought and remembered the ring that was coiled on Dimas' finger. Yesterday night, Askara asked Dimas who had a disposable ring on his ring finger. Dimas answered him, because he wanted to be known people already have a wife, but still single. It was all because he did not want to be chased by women anymore, who sometimes only came and went as he pleased because he already knew he was sick.

“Ah, yes, same!” askara.

“Ih, Dad! Don't be so hard!” salma's Reprimands. “Later Afifah listen!” continued.

“What does sam Afifah have to do anyway?” askara is confused.

“That Dimas ring is very similar to the model, just have Dimas there is no such thing, have plain Dimas, Well,” said Salma ambiguously.

“Same with Afifah ring means?” ask Ask Askara.

“Iya! Similar but not the same more precisely!” answer Salma.

“Ah time anyway? For a while I remember the ring Afifah same have Dimas how,” thought Askara.

“Oh yes almost similar as it is, Bund?” askara.

“Makanya Mommy so think, lest Afifah be given Dimas? Can't they get close, then they're dating? Right, they're together almost every day, Dad? When did my son date my ex-husband? Ah ... It's not funny, Dad!” restless Salma.

“Hush, you think that's so?” askara.

“Why don't I think about it, Dad? Dimas himself didn't say now he likes ABG's son? The same time Afifah? Can there date there ABG children, but do not Afifah dong, yes?” salma was getting more restless.

“Yes, yes, Bund? How come you didn't think about it? If Dimas likes Afifah and Afifah want how? When I want to get a daughter-in-law who is none other than my wife's ex-husband? This is not funny, Mother!” sigh Askara.

“Eatya, Father ... Mother from earlier was confused so? What if really, Dad?” lamented Salma.

“If true, if his soul mate is okay? That's later,” Askara said. “Eh but Dimas is old dong? Pity Afifahan ngurus people decrepit later? But, if you see it looks like Dimas loves the same Afifah? Whether it's affection as a ponakan or not, I see him he loves Afifah.”

“Idih, Daddy support this?!” cebik Salma's.

“Yes do not support it! But, if there is someone down Opa Dev and Oma Nadia, is it okay? They are far too old, like Dimas with Afifah,” Askara said. (What's curious about Devan and Nadia's story, can be to *******/******. The title is Love is not Wrong. In the End Section.)

“I disagree!” salma hatch.

“Why, jealous, huh? Her ex-husband with his son?” ledek Askara's.

“Ih what the hell! Jealousy time? Poor Afifa, Daddy! Time get my ex? What if someone negosipin him? Later if someone says, uh Afifah, already got om-om, eh ex-mother anyway? Poor, Dad? More coke than Dimas?” his rest.

“Yes too, anyway? Is that right, Mother? Don't think weird dong? Which part of the Afifah would be the same Dimas? Not me!” askara.

“Dad, uh! The mother knew Afifa, she was always praising Dimas, Dad? He always said Dimas was like a Korean actor whose name was Song Joong-ki, Dad? Tell him Dimas is still a young boy again? Duh ... mommy is a gini, huh? Think he's going there? If Afifah to date the same Dimas, afraid of being whipped, Dad? I don't know Dimas, ih!” Salma grew increasingly restless with her thoughts going everywhere.

“Why-apain what does it mean?” ask Ask Askara.

“Ya digituin? Kissed or what? Just saw you when she let Dimas go and dived into it that way? Like swerving her boyfriend who wants to go far? Keep on Kissing the forehead of Afifah's head, he rubbed his cheeks, continue to hug his Afifa again, continue whether they whisper what? Dad, Mother is worried to know? Dimas if dating is playing?” restless Salma.

“How is that? So when Mother turned it back again the same Dimas, surely you guys so, huh? Do not fit all day go it, fitting Daddy wait with Afifah at home, Mommy the same Dimas go to the road until you want to come home? Father from the same morning Afifah at Mother's house?”

“Dad, so talk to that? That's it, but, right, Dimas can't be On, Dad? Don't know now?” answer Salma.

“Sleeping You have, Dimas? Must be held-hold?” ledek Askara's. “Which size and length, Mother, same as Dad?”

“Already, don't discuss that, Sal. Already, huh? Yes I am cruel, I was wrong, I have hurt you, I am sorry,” Askara said with teary eyes.

When discussing that, Askara felt a deep regret for hurting Salma that deep. Sometimes the guilt keeps haunting her, that's why Askara really doesn't want to go over all that anymore, she doesn't want to remember any of it. He wants to live happily with Salma, forever.

“Don't cry dong, Dad? Sorry Mother reminded me again. Dad is the same Mother? Mother said all that, because Mother loves the same Afifah. Mother does not want dong mother's children during courtship with her ex-husband Mother? Especially if he hurt Mother? Yes, even though the matter of God's soul mate knows, but still, Mother of Afifa can be single, young, the same age, which is better than Dimas, he said, especially from the snot boy who became a aunt-tente mistress!” salma.

“Daddy is sick, Bund, if Mother reminds me of the incident first. Already, huh? Don't talk anymore. Yes Afifah yes should get more than Vero dong? Can't he be the same Dimas, Mother? He was the most spoiled just the same Dimas, because from the time he knew Dimas, Dimas spoiled him,” Askara said.

“Iya anyway, whatever Afifah want always followed Dimas,” said Salma.

“The issue of the ring does not need to be discussed, yes? Maybe Afifah is the same as his friends, and maybe also the reason Dimas wear the ring is because he does not want to be disturbed by women?” Askara tried to calm Salma's mind.

“Yes, but you know exactly which ring is imitation or not. Mommy is sure to have the Afifah is real, the diamond is also real, Yah!”

“Ya let it be, is that Afifah's privacy? The important thing is that he can take care of himself, he is still stable in his school grades, not neko-neko, not falling into perverted relationships. I'm so grateful that Afifah is still a little open with us? About Vero also they open up to us. Children will have their own privacy space, which is important not yet out of bounds, Mother,” explained Askara. “Not the Mother herself who said that Afifah also has the right to maintain her own privacy?”

“Iya anyway, but Mommy thinks only, the time yes Afifah want the same Dimas? Shocked, look at their similar rings,” said Salma.

“Already, yes, Mother do not have to worry and think macem-macem? Poor baby sister, later follow the thought, so dizzy deh?” askara.

Salma nodded, obeying what her husband said. But, still think about Dimas and Afifah. It does not matter if for example Afifah later the same Dimas, it does not matter also with a distance that is much adrift, but what he thinks, because Dimas ex-husband? Want to be with the child?

^^^

After dinner, Afifah rushes to clean up the newly used dirty dishes and glasses for dinner with his family. Afifah is always so, if the night he cleaned up after dinner, then he all washed dishes and dirty glasses, dirty, the custom had been done Afifah long ago he was alone in Jogja with his father, but after his father married again with Salma, Salma did not allow Afifah to do it. Sometimes Afifah secretly helps clean and wash dirty glasses, if for example Salma does not see it. Afifah does not feel at home if there are piles of glasses and dirty dishes in the kitchen, especially when the assistant did not stay overnight, after finishing cooking for dinner, he went home, so dirty glasses and dishes piled up until the morning.

Finished cleaning the kitchen, Afifah rushed to his room. Not yet at the door of the room, Afifah heard his Father and Mother discussing the ring of Afifah and Dimas are almost similar. Askara and Salma discussed again after dinner in the middle runang, they discussed with Ms Mila also who now lives with Askara, because there was no Dimas who kept her at home.

“Ih, right my guess, right? Mommy must be suspicious of the same ring given Om Dimas? Oh, what should I do? Where do you want a video call Om Dimas later if Om Dimas has arrived and is not busy? Want a video call just want to prove the ring is the same as me? It's different, huh? Is it similar but not the same? Well, how should I do, this?” afifah said in my heart. He was still standing in front of the door that was going to head to the middle room, and headed for his room.

“Don't be hard, Dad! Will Afifah hear us talk about this?” salma said, then he looked back, just Afifah immediately returned to the kitchen, pretending not to know.

“Munda ...! This all you want Afifah make no milk?” afifah shouted from the kitchen, so that they would know that Afifa was still in the kitchen.

“Let's go, Fah!” answer Salma.

“Ya already!” Afifah immediately came out carrying a snack of cookies made by his mother. Every day there should be a stock of dry cakes made by the mother to accompany her learning.

“You want to go to room, Fah?” ask Miss Mila.

“Iya, want to do PR, tomorrow there is PR, Eyang,” Afifah replied.

“This is a moment, Eyang want to ask you,” Bu Mila's orders.

“What's up, Eyang?” Afifah immediately approached his eyes, then sat down next to him.

Although Afifah is not Salma's biological child, but Miss Mila loves Afifah as much as her granddaughter. In fact, Afifah is closer to Eyang Mila, than to Oma Alana and Oma Binka.

“Fah, you are not related to Vero, right?” ask Miss Mila.

“Yes, not Eyang! Why the same kind of person as him? Even friends I don't want to, Eyang!” answer Afifah.

“Good, don't make friends with people like that,” said Ms Mila. “So this ring is not from Vero, right?” ask Miss Mila.

Madam Mila deliberately, did not discuss Dimas. At the beginning he asked Vero first, then later Madam covered the discussion about Dimas.

“Ih buy the same friends yesterday, the same as them, did Afifah show you the picture?” answer Afifah

“But this is like an expensive ring, Fah?” said Miss Mila.

“Ya is expensive, we buy online, almost a million prices,” Afifah replied ngarang.

“You're so extravagant, huh? Make buy the same ring with friends price up to that?” ujaa Ascara's.

“Afifah didn't say it wasn't finished, Dad? Almost a million of it got four rings, Dad? Same box and Photocard? Isn't that a friendship day issue, Dad? We dues it, Ayu who ordered,” explained Afifah added ngawur.

“Oh is?” askara believes it.

“Shortly, but this is exactly like Dimas's ring, huh?” thought Madam Mila.

“Masa anyway? Kayaknya different? Indeed Om Dimas wear a ring, but different dong? Same time anyway?” afifah.

“You want to ask about rings? I'll call Ayu tomorrow if I don't believe it? When did I get to be loved by Vero? People want to go out with her just not so? Time of being given the ring?” afifah.

“Yes only time, Afifah? Yes already there, his PR work first?” ma'am Mila's.

Afifah nodded, then he immediately went to his room. He will do his PR, then after that he will contact Dimas, to discuss the matter of his ring.

Afifah knew the houseman must have been suspicious of the ring he was wearing, as it was almost similar to Dimas's. Afifah immediately tells Dimas, if they are suspicious about the ring, so that Dimas has a reason if one day they ask about the ring Dimas is not surprised.

Afifah from earlier exchanged messages with Dimas until night, discussing the ring that became their curiosity, the ring Afifah can from where.

[Quiet, Honey? Later if they video call, I will show you a replica of the ring similar to you, later Om said it was indeed a couple ring.]

[Yes I'm afraid, Om, they grow so chatty, where does the language of the ring go from earlier?]

[Have you slept, honey? Tomorrow morning Om wake you up. Don't panic, don't be afraid. Calm and relaxed, huh? We both take care of this relationship. I Love you my little girl]

[Love you too, Om Darling ... muaachh ..]

[Hmmm .. got here, muaach ... good sleep, good dreams, dear]

Afifah ended his chat with Dimas. Her chest was pounding as Dimas told her to love you. He held his chest, and smiled to himself.
