As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episodes 113. Meeting with Mama Vienna

Four o'clock, thirty minutes. The twilight bed began to shadow the skyline. The color caught my attention. I choose to enjoy the wonderful treats of God's creation. On the terrace I stood staring fixedly at the sky while stretching out both hands while sighing deeply.

"It's ready, Fara." said a familiar male voice to me. "Yes.." said I who immediately gasped because of his presence. He smiled at me while leaning his body against the wall with his hands folded in front of his chest. His feet were on the wall. A masculine style that he always displayed when he noticed me. It means Mirza's leg has been standing watching you for a long time. Ouch...

"Mbok Friday...!" call me. "I went first. Em, where's Azam?" I asked when Mbok Jum had been standing close to me. His eyes looked at Mirza's sister as if asking for help to explain. "En, Azam...Azam was observing the Vienna mama's house" said Mirza as he walked up to me. I also took a short nap while taking the phone I had put on the table on the terrace.

We walked away from the terrace to the car parked in the yard. Our steps seemed to be in harmony with the twilight breeze and the small flapping of bird wings that began to prepare to return to the nest. Shortly after, the silver sports car drove at a moderate speed leaving home. My favorite car from Mirza. "As before, Fara." said Mirza, whom I did not answer for sure. My heart and mind are wandering far away. An adventure that directly targets the figure of a Vienna mama. Mother of Keanu's brother, my husband.

My mind is busy making plans and possibilities for what I will face when I meet with mama Vienna who is still trying to keep Rafan away from my affection.

Five o'clock exactly. Silver kak Mirza sports car parked near a house. "That's where...?" I said while looking at a high fenced building. "Yuph.." said Mirza briefly while turning off the car engine. "Wait for what else. Come on.." I said a little impatiently. "Please wait a little while." said Mirza, folding her hands together in front of her chest.

Geck.

Car glass is knocked. I saw Azam standing with a watchful attitude. "Mrs Vienna and Den Rafan are at home" Azam said as the car's glass opened. "Guardment.." asked Mirza while looking carefully at the building. "There are only three bodyguards, Min, Bu An, and one other domestic assistant" Azam explained the situation in the building. "Good.." said Mirza. His hands deftly stick a mustache and sideburns on his face. Not forgetting a pair of glasses immediately adorned his face. The perfect fool. Because Mirza's face really looks different. Em, that's for those who don't know him. But for me the disguise is certainly still recognizable.

"Sister.." I said as I rubbed his arm. His eyes were fixed on me through the car. "What's sister's plan...?" lirih. "nothing. All this is just to outwit the guards so you can freely go inside" he said casually while exiting the car that I immediately ekori.

A sturdy and sturdy man poked out from behind the gate. His eyes looked at us in turn. "I'm from a domestic assistant dealer." said sister Mirza with regional accent. I almost laughed when I heard that. Lucky I can still hold it especially when I see his hand gesture that asks me to be silent. "Oh, please. Madam has been waiting since" said the man.

"Ow, sudang is coming...?" said a woman while going down the stairs. From her voice I know for sure, she is the mama of Vienna. "I need a nanny for my grandson, Rafan" he said, sitting on a carved chair without looking around. "Yes, Madam..And I have brought it on demand, Madam" said sister Mirza with her regional accent. "O...?" said mama Vienna who had not realized my presence since. His hands were still busy flipping through the pages of the magazine he had been holding since.

"If you still need a babysitter, why would you keep Rafan away from me?" I said while looking at him. Hearing that, my mother looked surprised. His eyes turned to me. "You.." he said with a surprised face as he stood up from his seat. "Yes, Ma.." I said as I followed him to his feet. "Bu An, take Rafan in...!" mama Vienna.

"And you don't let this woman into this house again" said the mother as she passed. His steps were so fast down the stairs.

"Wait, Ma...!" I said half a scream as I ran after the steps of my mother Vienna. I don't mind the pomp of the bodyguard. There was Mirza's sister who held the burly men.

Meanwhile, my steps continued to follow Mama Wini. "What do you want, Fara...?" said mama Vienna in the middle of the braid of the stairs. His eyes are looking at me. "Fara doesn't want to take Rafan away from mom. Fara only wants to see him occasionally as her mama. Really, Ma. Give me that chance." I begged. My voice shook violently due to the unstoppable cry again. I was lethargic when I saw that Viennese mama didn't show any reaction.

"Fara please, Ma...?" i repeatedly. "Mama didn't mean to separate Rafan from you. Forgive me.." said mom suddenly. I'm speechless. As if I couldn't believe what I just heard. Hey, there's a clear grain that's getting louder from both of his eyes that keeps looking at me. "Ma.." said I who continued down some stairs. Then I stood right in front of the Viennese mama sitting on the steps.

"Mama didn't mean to hurt you at all, Fara. I'm sorry, Fara." he said again. Ah, it somehow paints my current feelings. There must be a growing taste. "Come here, Fara." she said in between her tears. And soon I hugged the Vienna mama. The crying broke out inexorably.

"I'm sorry for Fara too, Ma.." said I tightened my arms. "You know, Fara. Mama still tells you to Rafan. Mama doesn't want Rafan not to know who his mama and papa are" said mama Vienna as she loosened her arms and shrank in tears. "Fara's sure of that, Ma" I said.

"Fara can meet Rafan at any time. But don't take Rafan away from mama. Mama please.." said mama. His hand was tightly clasping my finger. "Last time my mom was mad at you. Why didn't Fara ask her directly to mom? Fara sent Fara's lawyer and assistant?" said it. I was stunned for a moment. My eyes are looking at him. There was little doubt over what my mom had just said.

"At that time Fara's condition was not possible, Ma. Fara lost her eyesight. And as Fara recalled, Fara once tried to ask her directly to mama. But mama refused it through Keenan who was then meeting Fara" I said. "Keenan...? Mama never asked him to do all that" said mama Vienna looking at me. "Why do you always move house? If you don't want to separate Rafan from Rafa...?" my words are full of grief. "No Fara. Not so. All mama did because Rafan was threatened" said mama Vienna.

Deg.

I gasp. "Yes, Fara. All because of Rafan Keanu's son. The son of an officer who is feared and targeted by criminals all over the country" said mama Vienna. "And Keanu breathed his last as well for saving Rafan who was about to be kidnapped. That time....
