"I'm Tired, I Want to Give Up "

The Apology Gift

Me and Sya were alone for a moment. But after a few seconds, as soon as Sya rushed towards Mas Eagle, I who saw really felt afraid that the tray held by Mas Eagle fell and spilled. But swiftly Mas Elang retreated while raising the height of the tray that contained two dishes of fried rice made by Mas Elang.

"Yes..don't hug Papa!" the rest. A little more up to Mas Eagle, his steps restrained and standing there. I felt relieved, because Sya did not manage to hug Mas Eagle. Unknowingly I rubbed the chest a sign of relief, which did not escape the attention of Mas Eagle.

"Papa is bringing rice for Sya and Mommy. So if Sya hugs Papa, then the rice will spill. Come... sit on the sofa is the same Mother," he said pointing to the sofa in the room Sya. She obediently, she sweetly sat on the sofa, not forgetting to grab my hand. We sat side by side. And the Eagle approached us.

I didn't say a word with Mas Eagle. My seat also felt uncomfortable, I felt like someone else in front of Mas Eagle, since Mas Eagle told me to go out and look for Sya without caring for my safety.

"Eat first yes, this is for Sya, and this is for you, baby," he said back gently as if nothing had happened before. Sya with her cheerful smile immediately grabbed the plate to her thigh, then Mas Eagle sat down beside me and intended to bribe me. But I raised my hand and shook my head.

Mas Eagle was astonished and asked, "why, dear....?"

"No breakfast yet" I said as I stood and approached the exit of the room. I opened it and left the room. While Sya, still eating voraciously especially since it was handed over by his people Mbak Mayang, Sya has not eaten at all. And just this morning, I saw Sya eating again. The eagle looked disappointed to see me leave.

I went down the stairs and did not care about Mas Eagle who had called me. Maybe because Sya was eating, Mas Eagle did not catch up with me and let me go.

I went straight to the kitchen where Bi Narti was. Bi Narti welcomed me kindly while astonished. "Ehh... Non Nada... want Bibi make what? Earlier, Den Elang made his own fried rice, he said he wanted to make special fried rice for Den Sya and Non Nada," said Bi Narti.

"Mas Elang belain made fried rice for me and Sya, must have just seduced and felt guilty, after which I was sure I would not be able to defend me when mother insulted me."

"I want to make noodles, Bi?" I said as I prepared the pot and lit the stove. Bi Narti looked astonished but did not dare to protest. I put the pot I filled with water on the stove.

"Non, let Bi Narti make Non Nada. Not just wait at the dinner table," said Bi Narti volunteered.

"No, Bi. Let me do it myself" I refused. Bi Narti finally relented, but he still helped me prepare the bowl and fork.

Finally the noodle soup that I made is finished, just pour it into the bowl. Noodles with a mixture of eggs, vegetables, and chilies, are ready in the bowl, just stir and so on. Then I took him to the dining table with smoke billowing and fragrance that was pouring out in the air, further adding to the taste.

"Non." Bi Narti brought me some warm water, then went back to the sink to wash the used cooking noodles I just had.

"Thank you very much, Bi!" my spoken.

"Together, Non."

"Non... how is the temple, is it still sick?" asked Bi Narti on the sidelines of his busy washing pot.

"It still feels bad, Bi. And sometimes I feel a sudden headache," I replied as I sipped the soto noodle soup I made earlier.

"Non Nada is great, yes, can bring back den Sya without waiting a day. Actually, Non Nada got Den Sya where? Didn't Miss Mayang go first with the two big tall bodyguards?" Bi Narti asked curiously.

"I found her husband, Ms. Mayang, Bi."

"What, Non? Not wrong? How come Non, where does Non Nada know the residence of her husband Bu Mayang who is famous for being despotic?" tanya Bi Narti did not believe it.

"There was a good taxi driver who drove me there."

"Ohh yeah....?"

"And her husband, Ma'am Mayang, apparently not as despotic as what people think," said my friend.

Mas Elang appeared to shake his head while saying, "you are really angry with Mas, to the extent that you do not want to eat fried rice made by Mas, and even cook your own noodles, "the protest is wry. I didn't answer at all. After a long time of no response from me, Mas Eagle spoke again.

"Right, you came to Mr Zulfikar's house?" Mas Eagle asked and looked into my eyes perfectly. I nodded without answering. "Already, put the bowl on the table, let Bi Narti clean." Ban Mas Elang while reaching for my hand who was about to bring my used bowl to the sink, and pulling it slowly towards the stairs.

I followed Mas Eagle in a flat manner. The Eagle led me into the room and then into the lock of the room from inside twice.

"The Eagle is nothing at all, locking the doors of all," I murmured inwardly.

The eagle took me to the bed and hugged me. "Mas wants to thank you dear, for bringing Sya safely. As a thank you, Mas brought you a gift, "he said, giving me a jewelry box. I'm not so enthusiastic about the gift that Mas Eagle gave me.

"Open up.. and wear it....!" her word.

"What is this, Mom?"

"Open up....!" orders again. With a heavy heart I opened the jewelry box. And a diamond ring that emitted a dazzling light was peeked out there.

"What's this for, Mom?" many wonder.

"Make you, baby. I'm giving this as a sign of my gratitude to you."

"There's no need to thank you, and Nada doesn't need a gift for everything Nada does" I refused flatly.

"Darling... Why is his attitude so bland?" The eagle looked disappointed.

"Nada does not need the gift Mas, after all if Nada receives the gift of the diamond gold ring,

Nada does not want to say that married to Mas Eagle, Nada is just crazy about his property," I said. The eagle looked frustrated at my answer.

"Oh yes one more, Mas sorry to let you go looking for Sya, at that time Mas was angry because Sonia and Mayanglah behind the loss of the certificate of PerkaSya Restaurant. And that night, Mas managed to bring Sonia into prison. But Mayang is still hunted by the police because he managed to escape. And, maybe she asked for protection from her husband," said Mas Elang panjang.

"Aww.. whoa....!" suddenly my temples hurt again and my head also shrunk.

"Honey, the temple is bleeding again." Mas Eagle panicked, but immediately called Bi Narti to take out the equipment to treat my injuries.

The eagle laid my body down comfortably. "Hold yes... . Open the old bandage first let's change the new one." I did not deny that I could only give up on what Mas Eagle did to me.

Not long after that Bi Narti came, but followed by someone I knew very well and hated me very much. She's Mother. I don't know, what kind of reaction Mother after this, after knowing her favorite prospective daughter-in-law dared to cheat.

Mas Elang immediately changed the bandage on my temple, after cleaning it with alcohol then given betadin and bandaged back neatly and well. The pain and pain is now a little gone.

"Already changed, tomorrow will definitely dry the wound soon," he said. Then I got up, and Mas Eagle helped me get up.

"El... How's your wife?" suddenly Mom asked about me, maybe just a pleasantry.

"Mrs, Ma."

"El, about Sonia... Mama's gonna apologize." I heard her apologizing while looking down with guilt. At the same time I stood up and went past Mother and Mas Eagle, then went out through the connecting door of Sya's room. I went out through the door of Sya's room and it was better to let Mas Elang and Mother talk whatever she wanted.
