After the Rain

Disillusioned

Siska was unable to stem the tears that fell just like that. He kept running towards the toilet that was inside the mall. Her chest hurts so much. It hurts even more than when Yandri broke up his relationship first. He was disappointed, very disappointed.

"Astaghfirullah .. I should not believe their words for granted," muttered Siska on the sidelines sobbing.

Fortunately, not many visitors came to the toilet. Siska can also spill her sadness more freely.

"Alhamdulillah, full," said Yandri after finishing his meal.

"The tax is good, Dad," said the Star.

"Hem-eh, Deck. It's delicious, nih," said Daniar.

Yandri smiled seeing the conversation of his two he realized. If he could, it felt like Yandri wanted to stop time. To always enjoy being together like this.

Finish eating meatballs. They talked for a moment.

"Right, Bibin doesn't want to continue school at Daddy's?" ask Yandri.

The star shook its head. "Sorry, Dad. But Bibin did not want to leave Mother" he replied.

Yandri. "Yes, I will not make it. Want anywhere, the important thing is that Bibin remains in school. Studying diligently, so that later Bibin ideals are achieved," said Yandri.

"Aamiin's."

"Eh, Mother says ... Bibin likes to draw anime, huh?" Yandri asked again.

"Hehehe, yes Yes," said the Star.

"Indeed, if you're older, what would Bibin's ideals be?" Yandri kept asking. "So the police, will you?"

"No, Dad."

"Loh, why? Do you want to be a doctor?" yandri.

The star shook its head.

"Continue?" yandri who began to be curious.

"Bibin wants to be a comic, he said. His lecture was also keen in Japan," Daniar said, chiming in on their chat.

Yandri was quite surprised to hear his wife's answer about the ideals of the baby. For a moment he stared at the Star and Daniar alternately.

"I see Bibin like that, Dad. Wh why? Can't you?" great-great Star.

"Can, Honey. Whatever the ideals, the important thing is that Bibin is serious about living it," said Yandri.

"Yes, Dad. Thank you" replied the star.

At the residence of Ms. Salma.

"Yes, it's okay Rin. All of this belongs to you too. You have every right to do anything for this house" Ms. Salma said.

"Yes, Sal. Actually, I'm the same Tania not too questioning the house. However, it seems like one of Tini's children is in trouble. Therefore, he was about to move out and occupy Mother's house" said Rini on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, Rin. I know it."

"Yes already, Sal. I hung up on him. Later if there is anything, I tell you again," concluded Rini, the second son of late Hajjah Minah.

After her phone connection was cut off, Ms. Salma leaned her back, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Finally, the time of worry happened as well. Yes, sooner or later, he and his children must indeed leave this house that is just being entrusted.

Siska's phone is vibrating. For a moment, Siska let it go. At the moment, he was not ready to take a call from anyone.

However, the vibration still did not stop as well. Finally, Siska washed her face and began to take a deep breath to stabilize her voice.

When Siska saw the phone screen, her chest rumbled back. His emotions overflowed so violently that he turned off his phone.

Siska glanced at the people who had started to enter the toilet. Not wanting to be the center of attention, he immediately came out of the toilet.

As Siska exited the corridor, someone called out to her. Siska turned her head, her eyes perfectly rounded to see Habibah and Miss Maryam walking over to her.

"Huh, why did you reject the call from me, Sis?" habibah asked in annoyance.

"What else did you call me? Haven't you made fun of my feelings, huh?" snapped Siska.

The impact of Siska made Habibah's forehead and Miss Maryam frowned.

"Eh, why Sis?" ask Habibah.

"What are you doing, brother? Why are you lying about Yandri? Brother said Yandri had parted ways with Daniar. Yeah, right?" tanya Siska is full of emphasis.

"Yes, that's right" Habibah replied.

"Not true!" screech Siska clenched both hands. "That's not true, Brother. That's lying! You lied to me, brother. You all lied to me. What's my fault with you guys so you can play with my feelings!" yelling Siska was no longer able to stem her emotions.

"Wait Siska! What's wrong with you? Why are you accusing us of lying to you. What good is it that we lied to you? Yandri has separated from his wife. And that's the truth!" firmly Ms. Maryam.

"Then, what is Mom?" Show Siska at the table in the corner of her meatball shop.

Now, it was the turn of Bu Maryam and Habibah who were shocked when they saw Yandri and Daniar laughing freely at the table of Siska's meatballs, the woman who was predicted to be Yandri's match.

"Ish, what the hell is this?" muttered Miss Maryam, taking a step to approach Yandri and his family.

"Wait Mom! What are you gonna do?" tanya Habibah prevented his mother's move.

"What will Mom do? Ish Bibah .. Even in a crucial moment like this, you are still asking about what I will do to them? Of course I'll throw that girl out!" madam Maryam looks angry.

"But Mom, this is a public place. I can't make a fuss in a public place" Habibah said.

"Why? Why can't it? You can do whatever you want to do. Understand you!" said Ms. Maryam as she shook her son's hand.

However, just as Ms. Maryam stepped on her leg again, Siska blocked Ms. Maryam's wrist and pulled it.

"So you want to make a fuss in my shop?" siska asked, cold.

"Mom doesn't care! I'm gonna kick that girl out of Yandri's side, even if I have to make a fuss. Not just in your store, in the mall or anywhere else, I don't care!" Maryam began to raise her voice.

"No Mother! I'm not gonna let that happen. I'm not gonna let Mom ruin my efforts. I can be patient about Yandri. But I won't let anyone else break my own sweat!" siska.

"What Siska said is true, ma'am. Give up for now. Don't let your anger ruin Siska's hard-earned efforts. Do you want Siska's tavern to be closed just because of the commotion about the household? Shame, Mom. Especially now that the internet is free. Anything can go viral and go viral. Indeed, I want, there will be people who record the commotion that Mother did and expressed on social media? Mother can be hit because it disrupts public order, you know," said Habibah scare her mother.

Maryam threw her hand down and said, "Yes, it's up to you. But remember, after all this, I won't stay silent!"

A split second later, Miss Maryam looked at Siska.

"Listen to Nak Siska, I know you must be disappointed after seeing their togetherness. But once again I affirm you, Yandri is a widower! He has separated from the woman. Even if they were sitting at one table now, it would have been just for the sake of her son. I assure you, Yandri will be yours. Remember that!" firmly Ms. Maryam.

"Yandri wouldn't be mine if his son still lived with Daniar, Mom," said Siska lirih.

"What do you mean, son?" said Miss Maryam linking her eyebrows together.

"Here you are, don't think too much about what Siska just said. We better find a place. Do not let them see where we are here," continued Siska while stepping foot into the escalator.

Despite the confusion, Habibah and Miss Maryam followed Siska from behind.

The disappointment that lingered in Siska's heart, had made the woman secretly devise a plan.

This time, I will not let go of you again, Yan. It won't!
