When on the way home, my mind has been bought with the incident at the dining table. Why can Nicko never tell Kirana about her allergies. How did he hide all of that from Kirana?
“Indeed you never told the truth about your allergy to Kirana?” I asked him in the car mirror.
“Not” answered her briefly by continuing to stare out the window.
“Why ?”
“Because it doesn't matter”
“How does it matter. She'll be your wife later, what if she doesn't know anything about you after you're married? Can't you imagine how he would prepare food for you? Then she gives sesame in every one of her dishes!” Omel I.
“I have no intention of making her a wife” replied her in a cold tone.
I'm silent no longer talking. I don't know what Nicko said. Why could he say such a thing again, this time it was clear he had entered the level of contention with Kirana, wouldn't it be the beginning if Nicko could already open his heart to others ?
Arriving at the office I immediately parked his car in front of the office and immediately got off his car. Nicko came down and he moved to the steering wheel. I'm still standing next to his car waiting for Nicko to leave.
“Tomorrow I give you a day off because you are willing to overtime for today”, Nicko said.
I was still staring coldly at Nicko, my mind was still troubled by the incident at the dinner table, and Nicko's statement that didn't want Kirana to be his wife.
“Good. Thank you” then the car he darted quickly disappeared from before me.
I came home with a body that was very tired and weak. I went inside my apartment, and found Keysa too Kara asleep on the living room couch together. I smiled to see Kara's beautiful face sleeping on Keysa's arm. I approached her and squatted down next to her. I stroked Kara's hair and kissed her forehead. I loved her so much, my fatigue was instantly gone when I saw her tiny face.
Keysa squirmed, and opened his eyes slightly.
“Eh lo's. Just home?” Keysa asked trying to open his eyes.
“Iya. Thank you yes already nemenin Kara after work lo, surely lo cape too right?” Ask me in such a slow tone.
“Nothing times Faw. Rich to whom. I also do not want Kara why-napa” said Keysa so good.
“Ya. I moved Kara to the room first ya” said me while carefully carrying her.
I lay Kara on the bed and covered her body with a thick blanket, I kissed her once more and came out of the bedroom.
Keysa had woken up from her sleep and walked towards the pantry, I caught up with her and sat in the pantry seat waiting for Keysa to make me some caramel milk.
“Where is the meeting ? Smoothly?” Keysa asked, remembering that I went back to Nicko's fiancee.
“Current smooth. I was meeting with her fiance Nicko” I said while propping my chin with my hands because it was so tired.
“Tactualty ?” Ask her with a surprised face.
I kept quiet and didn't answer.
“Kok can?”
“Lo invited to be his WO?” Ledek Keysa, while brewing caramel milk and cappuccino coffee.
“Damn lu” umpat me by delinquent my eyes.
“Meeting his tetep discuss business with Kirana's parents. But Kirana took part in the meetings and ate the mallem, he said. Do you still know? Kirana time does not know if Nicko sesame” allergy said I remember the incident.
“Well is Nicko allergic to sesame?” Ask her.
“Iya. Nicko from small still can not eat that there sesame, eat it if any food he likes in the same care of his parents. Even my food is so ga use sesame because - because he”
“How much does ?”
Keysa kept the caramel milk in front of me, and sipped his cappuccino coffee.
“Ya Kirana and her parents were shocked, just as I told you if Nicko was allergic to sesame. Yes anyway why he did not compromise me first, say if all that he hid from Kirana”
“It looks like Nicko never told anyone about his allergies, it's like he knew only elo doang”
“Times anyway?” Ask me to frown.
“Try me, who is Nicko's assistant?”
“Bima?” Answer me.
“Iya the Bima, try asking her, know ga about it”
I remember Bima in the office canteen.
“Gue so inget. Bima this afternoon actually love her same I” said me with a lazy look.
“Hah?!” Shouted Keysa.
“Diem sih lo,Kara wake up later!” I was upset that I was brandishing my milk spoon as if I was going to hit it.
“Sorry sorry sorry” said by again shrinking his voice.
Then I told Keysa everything until Keysa couldn't believe it and laughed. I laughed because it sounded so ridiculous. Bima and I have never had any conversation other than work, even meeting only in the office, and Bima never dared to contact me outside of work hours.
Keysa just laughed at my story, and said it was funny. Yes indeed all that is funny, even I still can not believe suddenly Bima expressed her feelings to me.
Next day. I'll take a shower in the morning with Kara. I'm getting ready to take Kara outside to take advantage of my holiday. I dressed Kara in a white shirt with a short brown skirt. I divorced her hair and wrapped a Korean bando around her head. While I was wearing a casual dress knit oversize brown and white pants. To be in line with Kara.
“Where are we going Ma?” Kara asked when I put on her little sneakers.
I smiled at him, because today I decided to bring him to meet his grandparents. I think it's time I met Mama Nicko, and introduced Kara to them, with a secret that I'm still going to keep neatly.
“We want to meet Oma Shinta and Opa Rio”, I told Kara.
Kara's face looks so happy to hear a pair of names that I often tell her.
“We want to play at home Oma Shinta and Opa Rio?” Ask Kara.
I nodded my head with a smile on him.
“Assiiikkk” exciting Kara looks so happy.
After 4 years, I was finally able to get Kara to meet Nicko's parents. For the past few years I've been telling Kara that she has her own Oma and Opa who are away from her house, because Kara often asks about them, but I always give an excuse if Oma and her Opa are still busy not being able to meet Kara. And it's time I brought them together.
Kara and I immediately went to Mama and Papa Nicko's house, which was quite far from my apartment. I still remember the house of Papa and Mama Nicko who are still in the same complex as my old house. But after many renovations, Nicko's house looks so different, it looks taller and more magnificent than before.
Kara and I got to Nicko's house. I opened the window of my car to greet the security who served there. The security looked new and he didn't recognize my face either.
“Sorry Who do you want to meet?”
“Mother Shinta and Mr Rio are there?”
I shut up for a moment and took my breath.
“Fawnia” answer me.
Suddenly I was nervous going into the house to meet Mama Nicko. I'm afraid her mom will turn cold to me after all this time I left this house without saying goodbye.
Security looks serious talking to the phone inside his post. And he quickly opened the door for me.
“Please Mbak” said the security.
I nodded my head at the security and drove the car into the parking lot. I remember how the last time I left this house was taken away by Nicko, and his Mom's Shouts I still remember.
Until whenever your relationship will never be Mama's blessing.
I closed my eyes to calm myself down and took a deep breath.
I looked at Kara who was staring at me confused.
“Let's go down” said I release the seatbelt.
I get off the car first and help Kara get out of the car.
I clasped Kara's hand tightly and invited her into the house.
I stood at the door of the house gathering the full courage to meet Mama Nicko who I hadn't seen in years. Then before I scowl the bell of the house, suddenly the door opens wide and looks a woman who is so beautiful with a pair of hair, a short dress shirt and earrings hanging from both ears,looking at me surprised.
I had a hard time winking when I saw Mama Nicko standing in front of me. Mama Nicko looked at me in disbelief and with teary eyes.
“Mama” whispered to me.
“Fawnia” responded and immediately hugged me so tightly.
Our cries broke just like that when we could finally hug again like this.
I'm wrong, it turns out the warm affection Mama Nicko is still so felt. Mama Nicko still loves me, she doesn't seem to hold a grudge against me. My nervousness was gone immediately.
Mama Nicko held both of my cheeks and looked at me from head to toe, to see my change.
“Darling you're okay?” She asked with a face that was still crying while examining my body to make sure I was healthy and whole.
“I'm good Ma. Mama how are you?” Ask me who is still crying.
“Mama good dear”
Her mother held my cheek gently back, and looked at me so sadly, she still could not believe seeing me in her presence.
“Where have you been, son? Why don't you come home for so long. Did Mama make you hurt until you left us?” Her question hurt me so much.
“No Ma. Not like that, Mama never hurt me at all
“Then why did you leave?” Mama asked so dramatically as she continued to hold my arm in tears.
My mouth's locked. I can't bear to tell Mama Nicko the truth.
Then Mama Nicko stared down beside me. He looked at Kara.
“This??” Mama asked Nicko rubbed her tears in puzzlement looking at Kara.
“Iya Ma. This is my son, his name is Kara” I said with a smile on him.
Mama Nicko looked surprised and smiled so happily.
“Gosh,Mama already have grandchildren?” Ask Mama Nicko crouched down to see Kara.
“Hay Oma Shinta” said Kara made Mama Nicko round her eyes and looked once she was so shocked and moved because Kara could recognize her when this was their first meeting.
“Oh darling. Yes this is Oma Nak, this is her Oma Kara” then in hugging Kara so tightly and she came back crying.
Mama Nicko let go of her hug and she glanced towards the parking lot.
“Where is your husband?” Nicko's mom asked him to remind me of Ben.
I come back grim whenever anyone asks for Ben's whereabouts.
“She's dead Ma. She died when I just gave birth to Kara” I replied.
Mama Nicko stood up and rubbed my arms.
“Sayang. Mama sorry, sorry for your husband ya”
I nodded and smiled sweetly at him.
“Let's go in. Papa will definitely be surprised to see your presence nak”, he said by holding Kara's small hand.
“I've met Papa Ma” once said I made Mama back surprised.
“Where? Why don't you tell Mama?”
“Because I'm afraid you're carrying and asking to meet Fawnia and my granddaughter” said Papa who suddenly came out of nowhere.
“Papa” call me while hugging her.
“Hallo darling. Finally we meet again”
I smiled at him and he glanced at Kara.
“So this is Caramel of Opa” Papa Nicko said while holding Kara.
And Kara also seemed to not mind welcoming warmth Papa Nicko.
“Hallo Opa Rio”
Papa Nicko looks happy Kara already knew her name first.
“So you already know with this Opa mu?” Ask Papa.
“Already dong Opa. Mama often told me that Oma Shinta and Opa Rio are good and dear people like Kara”, Kara said so innocently.
“Oh of course dear. Oma and Opa are so dear to Kara” Mama said while kissing Kara's chubby cheeks.
“Let's talk there” take Papa Nicko.
We all walk into the living room of this house.
