Don't Call Me Ugly !

Chapter 33

Almost in the afternoon Mega just arrived home. His body felt sticky and wanted to take a shower immediately. For a moment his steps must be stopped by the actions of his two half-brothers.

"Go away, I'm going through!" mega exclaimed as Loli and Sasa blocked his path.

Sasa and Loli are mutually unwilling to make Mega careless to see both.

"Anu, that, we ..." said Sasa terbata.

Mega is still patiently waiting for the next sentence.

"That's ...."

"Just tell me, I'm gonna take a shower!" Mega Sent makes Sasa shocked and smooth talking.

"We're willing to pay off the debt, but,"

"But what?"

"The money isn't enough, give us a day's time off."

"Whatever, the most important thing is that my money can come back." Mega breezes just like that leaving Sasa and Loli.

"If we were late for a day, would you imprison us?" ask Loli.

Mega turned around and looked at Loli, "I never disavowed my words. I've been going back and forth to the police station for some business. It's easy for me to just jail people, but seeing you guys so scared of the police should make you even more excited to get my money back."

"So, you're going to imprison us?"

Mega nodded and then turned into her room. It's great to be able to prank them. If it is a plain Mega maybe the fate is not as lucky as it is now.

Sasa and Loli ketar - ketir made, the problem tomorrow is the last maturity for them to return Mega money.

"How is this Brother?" loli Whine.

"The money you gave us is not enough and still less than 2 million again, mending we sell our jewelry" said Sasa conveyed his idea.

Sonya's coming, she just got home from Arisan. His face is so bright.

"Sasa, Loli !"

"Mama!" exclaim Sasa and Loli compact.

"Mama just got some money from the show, here," Sonya took 2 million out of her bag.

"Mama, thank you, if there's no Mama we'll be in jail!" Sasa started to mewek followed by Loli.

"Yes, where's Mega now?"

"Just come, he said he'd take a shower."

"Yes, we eat first! Mama bought some roasted chicken." Sonya comforts her two daughters and leads them to the dining room.

This afternoon Kikan got his first visit from a woman who did not want to be identified.

The police took Kikan to meet the man.

"Actually who sir wants to see me?" asked Kikan curious, he has been rarely visited this week.

"Later you'll know for yourself." said the police and kept the identity of the person who wanted to meet Kikan.

After arriving in the waiting room, it was clear that the body of a slender woman with her hair rolled up was on her back. The police left, giving them free space to talk between the two.

"Who are you?" kikan's curiosity was unstoppable again to ask who this woman before him was.

The woman who did not want to be named turned her body to face Kikan.

Kikan's eyes were puffed up looking at the beautiful woman. "You, why are you seeing me again!" kikan snapped after finding out the woman was the woman claiming to be his mother.

Kikan was furious and was about to turn away. Quickly, Monalisa held Kikan's arm to prevent him from leaving.

"Wait for Kikan, Mama wants to talk to you for a minute! Please give me a chance to understand each other between us, as mother and child," Monalisa stared longingly.

Kikan turned his head and answered tightly, "Mother? What kind of mother do you mean, whether the mother who left abandoned her daughter for another man, huh! My monkey was amused to hear this joke!"

"Kikan, I've never left you, trust Mama. Good. So that you can believe, sit down for a while at your mom's side. Mama's gonna show you a photo album." Monalisa asks Kikan to sit next to her.

Kikan lazily resisted this woman's wishes.

Feeling that Kikan had begun to be able to talk, Monalisa opened her zipper bag and took something out of it. A photo album that is outdated.

On the first page, Monalisa shows a picture of Kikan after birth, so cute and so beautiful, similar to the little Monalisa. Sheet by sheet, Monalisa opened and seen a collection of photos of Kikan on the album began Kikan born until the age of 5 years.

Monalisa was not directly able to meet little Kikan in the past, because it was an agreement between Bara and Monalisa. Mona continues to try to take pictures and does not want to miss the growth of her little daughter, until Bara finds out about Mona's actions and makes Bara invite Kikan to move house without Monalisa's knowledge.

Seeing childhood memories made Kikan cry bitterly.

And so did Mona Lisa. Mona embraces and hugs Kikan for the first time after separation. Kikan did not mind being treated so, instead he felt back the warmth that had stayed away all this time from a word called family.

After the crying scene passed, Kikan opened his hoarse-sounding voice.

"Then, why are you and Mom separated?"

"The circumstances that make us have to part, " said Monalisa while pressing the corner of her eye with a tissue.

"What kind of situation?" asked Kikan, he should know the problem of parents and in order to understand the circumstances in question.

Mona did not immediately answer, until Kikan said, "Is it because of another man? If that's true, then why did Mama choose papa as a life partner?"

Monalisa smiled wryly towards her adult daughter, Mona taking both hands of Kikan.

Before telling the story, Mona took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"We were married in an accident. Your father, mama found half conscious at a camping post. Her clothes were wet, and she felt sorry and took off her clothes and she changed them with her jacket. Residents who happened to pass by thought we were not - no. And we're finally married."

"Then, how can you fall in love and be me?"

"Eum, we did that too unconsciously."

"Can't you?"

"Well, like that!"

Time that made them have to separate.

The police came and stopped their conversation.

"Time's up!" the police reminded.

Monalisa sees the watch on her wrist. "Can we be friends now?" mona asked, showing her little finger.

Kikan smiled wryly then a second later changed his expression.

"Well, we can be friends now !" Kikan knitted his little finger.

The love problem is very complicated. Maybe over time someone will understand the true meaning of love.

Ayu was allowed to go home this afternoon. Raditya carried Ayu as he entered the car.

"Egan, where's Kian ?" ayu asked as Egan opened the car door.

"Since this afternoon, Egan hasn't seen much!" sahut Egan who does not know the whereabouts of his sister.

"Maybe Papa knows?" Ayu asked her husband the same question.

Raditya realizes that Kian is very angry and does not want to be around him for a while.

"Kian? Papa doesn't know Ma either," Raditya said slightly differently. Flat and ambiguous.

"Did you forget that your mother was out of the hospital?" Ayu felt sad that there was no Kian beside her.

"When I meet Kian, I'll catch his head!" egan was joking.

Ayu knew that Egan was not serious about his words.

Raditya leaned over to put Ayu in the back seat.

"Ma!" call someone who is waiting for her arrival.

"Well, you're a long-lived kid too!" exclaimed Egan who was happy to see his sister coming.

Ayu who just got into the car turned to the source of the sound. "Kian! Mama thinks you forgot,"

Raditya turned his head, so knowing Kian was coming, Raditya gave way to him.

"There's still business, then,"

He slid towards his mother.

"Mama can't wait to get home."

"Yes, I'll catch up later."

Kian closed the car door and passed Raditya just like that without the slightest eye contact.

My heart aches a lot considering the events of this afternoon.
