Diorama Love (RaniAnggara)

Finding the Trace

"You don't spoil her too much, baby. She's had a good life all along. Where'd he call me as long as he lived well. His turn is difficult, he asks us for help," Ranu told his wife, Risa.

"Mas, don't be. You are brothers after all. After all during her stay here she was being fine," said Risa because all she knew during her stay with Silvia, she did not see any bad attitude from Silvia.

"He was raised by a mother who behaved badly. He must also behave not much different from his mother," continued Ranu less agree if the wife defended his step-sister continuously.

"Mas, you're luckier than him. You have a better family and educate you well. But do not insult him like that. If only the mas were in his position, how would mas behave?"a question posed by Risa made her husband, Ranu Kuncoro, become silent a thousand languages.

"Ach, never mind, as long as she doesn't throw a tantrum, I'll let her here to give birth. After that he has to go," Ranu Kuncoro said roundly. She could not hold Silvia in her house continuously.

"Yes, I've said that over and over again. I got tired of hearing it," said Risa saturated to hear a sentence that is always repeated by the husband.

Silvia silently listened to the two people's conversation with a sad look on her face. Indeed, the relationship between him and his half-brother, Ranu Kuncoro, was not as good as when they were children. It is likely that the stepbrother has been given such a word since their father died. Because his family does not like him and his mother.

Tears flowed down Silvia's face. He knew he shouldn't have run to his stepbrother's. He should have rented a house away from the crowd. But Silvia was pregnant right now. He could not escape any further due to his circumstances which made it impossible to live alone.

"Non Silvia, would you like to warm your vegetables before eating?"ask the maid at Kuncoro's family home. By noon, Silvia had not eaten rice. He was a little unappetizing today. I don't know what made him feel unwell.

"No bik, I want to go out for a while to the minimarket ahead there. Please tell Risa if you look for me later," Silvia said. After hearing what the stepbrother said made Silvia even more unwilling to eat.

"Good, non,"bik nah said.

Silvia picked up her wallet and exited the house heading to the minimarket in front of the residential alley. He could not stay at home which made him very bored. Especially if Ranu Kuncoro has gone home from work, the atmosphere is no longer comfortable. The look of dislike made Silvia feel uncomfortable. He shouldn't be in that house.

Silvia bought a medium-sized box of ice cream. If not, he would eat ice cream like that. And the stuff will make him full quickly. Since she was pregnant, Silvia loved to eat ice cream.

Silvia did not immediately go home after buying what she wanted. He wanted to sit back and relax in front of the minimarket that provided free seating. Silvia was enjoying her ice cream while watching people pass by in front of her.

I don't know what sins he had committed before until he had to accept a hard life like this. The plan to get pregnant is not a good thing. He just lives harder. But Silvia was not a photocopy of her mother who had abandoned her since childhood.

Silvia had already felt how cruel life was. He did not want his son to suffer like that. Even though he would work later but he would not abandon his own son. Silvia had already felt how difficult she was first. She did not want her son to feel what he had felt before.

"You have to live better than I used to, son. I will not abandon you" Silvia said, stroking her growing belly because of her gestational age of nearly eight months.

"Relax, soon we will live together and will no longer bother the lives of your uncle and aunt" said Silvia to give encouragement to herself and the baby in her womb.

Mita calling

Silvia's phone showed me a call. Silvia immediately shifted the green button.

"Hello, ta, what are you calling me?"silvia asked after a voice sounded from across there.

"Hello, my dear," the greeting instantly made Silvia startled and rise from where she was sitting.

"Ka..ka.mu.." - Silvia stammered. He did not expect the man to find his best friend, Mita. How is Mita now? Silvia became anxious because she knew very well what kind of person the man was.

"Why do you seem to panic, baby. Don't you miss me. Don't you miss the hot nights we've been through" she teased Silvia, who is currently walking back to her stepbrother's residence.

"You broke our contract, baby. How could you want me to just let go, heh?"said the man with a voice that sounded cold.

Silvia cut off the phone because she was so afraid of him. Silvia immediately entered the courtyard of the house of her half-brother, Ranu Kuncoro. Silvia had suspected someone was following her when she returned from the minimarket. But he did not see anyone walking behind him.

Silvia closes the fence of the minimalist house from the stepbrother. He rushed into the house.

"Silvia."

"Eh, ma'am..."Silvia immediately stopped so surprised to see the sister-in-law who greeted him. Silvia let out a long breath.

"You why, just running around like a frightened person," asked Risa to see the face of the sister-in-law who looked panicked.

"Ah, there's nothing mbak, it's just fear outside deserted," replied Silvia just as long as she didn't want to make her sister-in-law suspicious of him.

"You're out of where it was, I said you came out" said Risa back.

"Yes, ma'am, I bought ice cream at the front minimarket" Silvia said.

"Where's the ice cream?"risa asked because she saw her sister-in-law only coming home empty-handed. Silvia also only realized that she returned from the minimarket without carrying the ice cream that she had eaten in front of the minimarket. Her ice cream cone was left there because she was so panicked and hurried to go home.

"Emm. It's over, ma'am" Silvia told a lie. Risa just shook her head.

"Yes, you've been sleeping there, it's been night too," Risa's been told because the clock has shown nine o'clock at night.

"Yes, ma'am, I'm first yeah, good night," Silvia's camel.

"Good night too, sil," replied Risa. Seeing Silvia's departure made Risa just a small smile. His sister-in-law is indeed lately often bengong himself. Risa knew that actually Silvia came out just now and just wanted to calm down. Bik nah told her that Silvia was secretly listening to what she and her husband were saying. And bik nah also said that the look on Silvia's face turned sad after hearing it.

Risa let out a long sigh and closed the door of her house then moved to the room to rest. Risa just pray that their family is always in good condition.

"He lives with his half-brother, boss. We've found his place."

"Good, find the right time and get your job done right away."

"Good, boss."

Silvia, after this you won't be able to run anywhere anymore.
