Fian finally came to pick up Siti. They did communicate last night, but Fian seemed to hold back, unlike all this time he always spoke as is and even often teased Siti with his kidding behavior. Siti was certainly very aware of the change, but she hesitated if she had to ask Fian this. For him even though there was a bit of sadness in his heart about Fian's attitude that kept them from getting too close, this was better. Rather than Fian blatantly asking for a relationship more than just a friend to him.
"Are you ready, Ti ? Come on, get some lunch.."
Fian carried Bara and also held Dio. Not looking at Siti in the least.
Fian was too quiet to respond to Siti. Siti, who used to sit in front right next to Fian, has now had to give in because Fian has asked Rama to sit in front.
Along the way, they were silent. Because Fian prefers to interact with fun with Rama rather than Siti.
Fian's car, which brought Siti finally arrived at the house of Emak Lastri. Make children impatiently open the door and get out of the car, run and directly hug their grandmother and grandfather who they have not met for a long time.
Siti had indeed told Salsa her arrival, no wonder if the former in-laws and her in-laws had now been waiting for their arrival on the porch of the house.
Siti also went down, followed by Fian. They greet Dadang's mother and father, and Salsa who welcomes them with kindness.
" Which father is Cake ?"
Rama asked when he returned from inside the grandfather's house, apparently so impatient to meet the father, Rama immediately looked for the figure of Dadang into the house.
Lastri and Nurdin looked at each other, confused to answer Rama's question.
"Aunty look first yes, your father. He said he bought a cigarette .But not yet home !!"
Salsa rubbed the head of Rama, and immediately went to the house of Dadang.
Actually, he came to his brother this morning. But said Sister Salma, Her brother and wife left since this morning.
Salsa's departure makes Siti a bit suspicious, does Dadang and his new wife not live together again with Mother and Father ?
Or maybe Dadang's new wife knows if he's coming, and deliberately invites Dadang to go out so that his children can not meet his father.
Or maybe Dadang want to withdraw cash at the nearest ATM ? The last possibility even made Siti smile wryly . If He is, then Dadang really has heart for him and also the children.
" Eh, Ti. Kok even bengong. Let's take your friend in first, gih, "Mommy is holding Bara while Dio has now attracted the grandfather to invite him to play with the robots he was carrying.
Fian sat awkwardly, because from the eyes of Mother as if he wanted to skin her, Fian stared at the clothes and also felt her appearance, who knows that there is something that does look strange . But the truth was, he did not find anything that could make people feel the need to look at him intensely like the gaze of Siti's former in-laws .
" Mak , Where exactly is Bang Dadang ?" Siti finally let out her voice, realizing that she was looking at Fian from earlier.
" Didn't they live with Mom and Dad here ?"
" Uh..No Ti. They now live in children's homes. Actually, my mother objected and did not feel good with you. But yes, where else would they live ! I've kicked Dadang out of this house !!"
Lastri's mother spoke slowly, because the husband's position was not so far from where they were sitting now.
Siti was actually a kepo, but she held her back. Because he realized that he now had limits to ask and comment
" It's not what Mak. Partly bang Dadang is entitled if you want to do anything with the house. But if it is sold Siti will not be willing Mak.."
" You want to get married ?"
Siti who was drinking tea water that had come from earlier was prepared now even coughing. She was shocked, why did my mother even think in that direction ?
Meanwhile, Fian, reflex patting Siti's back slowly, helped the widow of three children neutralize the condition of her throat again.
" No, my mom !!!"
Siti refused Fian's treatment plan, making the man understand and retract his hand .
" It's been two months since Dadang never talked to the children.they became moody and asked bang Dadang constantly. I don't have the heart, Mak. That's why I came here. And about Fian"
Siti looked towards Fian, though,
" We're just friends !!"
Siti explained with a full smile.
Lastri nodded in understanding. He looked at Fian's appearance as well as the way the children treated this young man earlier, very close and obedient. Making Lastri sure if Fian hopes more for his ex-daughter-in-law,
" Yes that's how Ti. Different wives, different behaviors ..!!" Mother answered briefly, actually she wanted to curse and complain about the magical behavior of Dadang's new wife, but it felt unethical and afraid if Siti remembered her bad treatment first..
There was no long sound of greeting from outside. Siti poultice is the sound of Dadang.
The father who was busy playing with his grandchildren now stepped aside as if giving room to Dadang to let go of longing for his children..
Sudden silence felt, all eyes now as if focused on the meeting Father and son, Rama even sobbed, and said longing things that could make those who heard him heartbroken.
While Dadang now even cry and gently kissed his three sons in turn.
" Why is Vc never again the same ? Daddy doesn't love us anymore, because there's a mother's replacement ?"
Rama spoke loudly, crying. His words made everything there become shocked, and looked at Siti simultaneously. It was Siti who had said all this to Rama. Why would Siti break the heart of the child by saying this bitter thing suddenly !! And also, why does Rama seem to hate so much, to lose respect for the father.
While Siti was confused, she also looked at Rama in wonder, why would her eldest son know about it ?
" Why did you say so bang ? I love you guys, but lately I've been busy, so I didn't have time to hold the phone !"
Rama throws a paper that appears to have been squeezed firmly, right in front of Dadang's feet. The boy sobbed increasingly louder and pointed at Dadang in disappointment
" Who was the woman photographed ? Why are Dad and he posing that close ?"
Dadang took the paper trembling, and the guesswork in his head turned out to be true. This is a picture of her with Sandra, moments after they performed the Qabul ijab. But how did his son get this ?
He looked towards Siti. Confused to explain what it is like, on Rama !!
