Lara's Pieces (When the Ex Returns)
Salma's Suspicion

Again Afifah got a surprise from Dimas. Now Afifah feels like Dimas' mistress, because all of that he lived secretly from both parents and his family. Especially now that Afifah has gone to college, and has been allowed to bring his own car. It is rarely monitored by the driver. It is now more often supervised by Dimas himself, but Dimas already believes that Afifah is only his.

Dimas make sure there are no men who approach Afifah, every day he monitors Afifah, but during Dimas, Afifah is rarely friends with men, most of his closest friends are only one, Ayu only. That's why he rarely goes out with Ayu. Frequently go out alone and meet with Dimas, and then go with Dimas. After Rafka went to Cairo, no more men approached Afifah. Because Afifah is a bit jutek with guys, it's all because to take care of themselves, so that no guy dares to approach him.

Today, Afifah told his mother and father that he went to college until the afternoon, but actually he went with Dimas, to Dimas' house which he had given him. They are often there everyday, only if saturated they come out for a while. Dimas asked her to go there, because there was something Dimas wanted to give her, whether that was what Afifah did not know.

“Mother, Afifah lecture until afternoon, yes?” his farewell to Salma.

“Tumben to afternoon?” answer Salma.

“Ih, you forgot, huh? ‘Kan indeed if Thursday I until two more hours finish class? Must be until afternoon dong home?” afifah.

“Oh yes, mother forgot,” said Salma believe it, because indeed every Thursday Afifah home until afternoon.

Even though the class until eleven noon was finished, the rest he used time with Dimas at home giving Dimas, sometimes he accompanied Dimas who worked, because his work was always taken home. Especially three days a week, the time for Afifah from noon until late afternoon. Because in addition Afifah must go home on time, so that Salma and Askara are not suspicious.

“You're home this afternoon huh, sister?” ask Askara who just came out of her room, towards the dining table.

“Yes, Well, why?” ask Afifah.

“Besok course, dad wants you, you already have to take care of the office, Fah. You're Dad's biggest son, there's Joseph, but you're still a kid?  I want you to be able to continue our family company, until waiting for Yusuf gede, because you also have rights and parts there,” explained Askara.

“And there's no other time than today, Dad? Anyway, can Afifah set up the company, Well?” afifah.

“If you learn, surely you can do it? Moreover, you take the appropriate majors. I don't know why you used to be a doctor or what yesterday? Designer or what is it you say, suddenly you even majored in Business? Can it fit?” askara.

“Iya later sister learn, Well,” said Afifah.

Afifah majored in Business because Dimas requested. Each with Dimas at home, not only dating they do, but Dimas always teaches him how to do good business and handle a company. Dimas had taught her before Afifah graduated High School. He wants Afifah to be a great woman. Great career woman. Although Dimas wants to always spoil Afifah, but Dimas wants to equip Afifah knowledge that will be useful for Afifah in the future. Moreover, his family were all successful businessmen, so Dimas thought Afifah needed qualified knowledge to continue his father's company, or his if later Afifah became his wife.

Dimas learned from his previous experience that failed to divert Salma to not become a Doctor, because his father's successor would not exist. Because Salma is a bit selfish and stubborn, can not be contested with his decision, so his desire to become a doctor haurus materialized. Though in vain he became a Doctor, work in the world of Medicine is also quite short, he did not go deep and he persevered. Unlike the other Askara family, who became Doctors, all menekuni, because their families also have a Hospital, so they undergo deep and pursue the knowledge they get.

Now, Dimas does not want Afifah to take the wrong major. Afifah is indeed smart, and it must be very easy to enter Medicine. His work is also already there, because his extended family has a Hospital. But, Afifah also has talent like Uyutya, yes, Thalia who until old was still equally engaged with her husband to take care of the legacy company of their parents. Dimas also does not want to have a Doctor's wife, which may be limited time for him if he is married later.

Afifah knew, Dimas did not want his wife to work but not the same job with him. He wanted to be able to work with his wife, take care of the company with his wife, so he did not want Afifah to continue in Salma's footsteps. All Dimas told Afifah, if he didn't want to

“Dad don't know, I've learned a lot from Om Dimas?” afifah said in my heart.

“It's a good thing you didn't take medicine, Fah. I've been thinking, later the company of the father who will continue, yes there is Joseph, but is it still small?” askara.

“So dad is actually not ridho, huh? If Afifah so take Medicine?” ask Afifah.

“Iya, actually no,” replied Askara.

“Afifah fast turn not so take Medicine, even though Afifah teacher has prepared his requirements to enter Medicine in order to get a scholarship.Eh, it turns out because Dad is not ridho. But, Afifah also wants to know the business world which he said many challenges. More precisely the peeper like father,” said Afifah.

“Iya anyway, if mother first how is the time to be a Doctor? Love the pain so?” ask Afifah.

“Ya many likes, although mother briefly plunge into a Doctor. Just graduated was not obtained Om Dimas work, continued to work briefly at the Hospital at that time, then met you with your father. Now this again, back home?” salma.

“Yes anyway, short too?” afifah.

“Makanya pursue your college, and your profession later. But, the name of the woman is indeed more noble as a housewife? Why children and husbands?” salma.

“If it's an exorbitant job, Mommy,” said Afifah. “Kelak also Afifah will do the job? Being a housewife, take care of the child, take care of the husband?” he said imagining himself as Dimas' wife and having many children.

“Ih already shadow marriage for sure?” askara syndicate.

“The baby is okay, Dad? Will you do that too?” answer Afifah.

“Have a girlfriend?” ask Ask Askara.

“Then it is?”

“What's dong? Are you an adult? Twenty years of not being able to date? Introduce his girlfriend dong, if you already have?” askara pinta.

“Let's go, Dad? Later Afifah will introduce father and mother,” replied Afifah.

“Your boyfriend is one campus? Big brother level, or your age?” ask Ask Askara.

“More adults certainly from Afifah. He has worked, entrepreneurs are also like father,” Afifah replied.

“Wow ... deserve your passion, huh? Want to learn business?” askara.

“Iya, because Afifah's girlfriend supports it, Afifah also learned a lot with him. Later Afifah will knowin,” he said.

Salma was silent, Afifah said that he already had a girlfriend, and his girlfriend was an adult. Salma had suspected Afifah of being in a relationship with Dimas. He often saw their suspicious gestures that seemed to them very close, and established a relationship.

“Ah don't mind things, Salma! Same time Dimas? Yeah, it's okay if it's the same Dimas? But is Dimas my ex-husband? If so, when Dimas called me mother? So, My Ex-husband's son-in-law, dong?” salma grumbled in his heart.

“What's your girlfriend's company name?” ask Ask Askara.

“Later if surely Afifah will tell you everything yes, Yah?” answer Afifah.

Afifah actually did not want to cover up his relationship with Dimas. He was tired of being stuck with Dimas. Moreover, the relationship with Dimas has deepened, every day together continues, already like a husband and wife, the difference is only not home, and Afifah has not given everything to Dimas, only limited to touching each other.

Dimas was too. He also wants to be honest with Askara, if he has been in a long relationship with his daughter.

“Pengin deh honest with my father about Om Dimas, about my relationship with Om Dimas that has been established for a long time, but who is afraid, huh? More afraid of the same mother anyway, afraid of angry mother, eyang too. However they had been together in his past, the inner” of Afifah.
