Love for Adita

Love For Adita 14

I cried again when I took care of the papi clothes in the closet. Since my mother chose to marry mas Dani, and papi chose to resign from her job, I never saw the appearance of papi senecis first. Papi's branded clothes just hang neatly without ever being touched. Expensive shoes owned by papi was only a useless display. Since his own papi chose to be a simple person. The important thing is that you are comfortable with your clothes.

The plan of clothes and shoes owned by papi I will give to the neighbors in need. Hopefully it can be a papi helper later. Amens...

When I was busy sorting papi's belongings, the door of my house was like knocking someone.

Who's coming?

A middle-aged woman with a large robe and a wide hijab covered part of her chest. The middle-aged woman was holding a cute baby girl. Beside him stood a man who once stuck a thorn in our marriage, mas Dani.

Should I talk to them?

" Sailor..."

" Em. ma-mami. ma-in.."

I let mom in.

We sat in this simple living room.

The pretty faces of my mommy and Dani's mas attract my attention. I want to try out my stepbrother's smooth face.

" Dita, my mother is sorry for the passing of papi. I'm sorry if you're late for your hard times." Mommy said while rubbing my shoulders gently.

That's not all I want, I miss a mother's embrace. But even when it is difficult like this, my mother is still busy with her own world.

I let out a heavy sigh, "thank you mi." That's the only word I can say for my mom. It's better than me bringing up mom's past.

The baby in the sling mami seems to be fussy, "Dita, can you please hold Anaya? Mommy's gonna make some milk for a minute." Mommy gave the sweet baby to me

" A little while, baby." Mama went to the kitchen with a pacifier and a jar filled with Anaya's milk.

Being born as an only child makes me love children so much. But considering their traitors my conscience refuses.

I just held this baby without even greeting him until he walked into the house.

Looking at me who was just holding Anaya, maybe Dani understood my feelings.

" Dit, here's the fat Anaya mas."

Without further ado I gave Anaya to her father.

If you guys are me not necessarily you guys are capable of my mind rumbling.

***

It's the second day my mom's staying at my rented house. Actually I want to reject the request of mommy but back again on the feeling of not having the heart. Yes, no matter what your temperament, even to the death she is still the mother who gave birth to me.

" Adita, breakfast is ready." Shouted from the kitchen.

Today I am getting ready to go to the office. After pecking my appearance in the mirror, I rushed out immediately.

Mami and Mas Dani are waiting at the dinner table. Dani's gaze made me misbehave. What's wrong with her?

" Dita, you work?" Ask mami.

" Yes mi." I sat next to my mom.

Mami immediately filled the fried rice onto Dani's mas plate. Things I used to do, now replaced by my mom.

My feelings suddenly turned sad. Tears are starting to melt. Damnit damnit! What feeling is this. Why should I be sad about a scene like this.

" Come on Dita, spirit! All has passed.." My mind is busy grumbling because of my soft and crybaby attitude.

" Dita.ayo at the meal." Dani's voice surprised me.

I ate fried rice made by mami. Oh Allah... I can finally taste my fried rice. If papi existed, papi would be happy.

" Dit, are you crying?" My mom stopped her eating.

I can't answer mom's questions. The more tears flow

My mom hugged me tight.

" I'm sorry.I'm sorry mami. All this is mami's fault. If the mami is not khilaf, our family must be intact. Papi must be there by now." Mami's mouthfuls.

My mouth is locked, only tears can speak.

Dani was just a spectator among us.

" Get a gold, you now? My relationship with my mom is broken. It's all getting more complicated. Papi has to go in a horrible way." My insinuation is to the man who ruined my life.

" Sorry A-adita.sorry a thousand sorry..Please forgive our mistakes. Please do not reveal our past. There's Anaya among us." Said the loser man sobbing.

" It could cry on him too." My mind was busy fretting at the sickly man in front of me.

" Dita.. as the redeemer of mami's sins, follow the stay at home mami. Now.only you and Anaya have. For the sake of filial piety to the deceased papi, mami will take care of you lovingly."

I was surprised to hear Mami's words. What kind of service do you mean? Even in the last second of the papi breath, he kept a very big longing for mami.

" How's Dit?"

" I can't. I can't live with two traitors. I'd rather live alone than stay with you. Even now I am still trying to make peace with the situation. Then you guys easily take care of me. You're late! I don't need to be treated. I just need to be loved with all my heart. But how can I trust you? You better get out of here now." I snapped with a fierce.

" You're waking up a sleeping lion. Go now or..." I held the knife on the table.

Mami and Mas Dani took a few steps back from me.

" Go now or you'll die in my hands." I laughed bitterly.

As fast as lightning, Mami tidied up all her stuff. Do not forget mami carrying the fruit of her love affair, Anaya.

It didn't take long. Mas Dani and mami immediately left my rented house.

After they died, I was like a madman. Hugging a picture of papi I cried and laughed. So sad is the destiny of my life journey. When did that happiness come to me?

***

The next morning, I got ready to go to work. The old matic motor became my loyal friend.

Arriving at the office I immediately entered my room. There's Dani's face there. But he wasn't as friendly as he was after I threatened them with a knife. Deemed crazy better than considered weak.

I started doing office work. Suddenly Tristan came into our room.

" Dita's.. Dani. your tender won. Clients are very happy with your work. There's a ticket. You can take your family for a trip to Bali.

Mas Dani swiftly labgsing took the ticket from Tristan's hands.

I stayed focused on the computer screen that was in front of me.

" Dit, you don't want to take it?" Ask Tristan. From his voice there was a disappointment in my indifference.

Not getting a good response from me, Tristan turned off the lighted screen.

" What the hell?" Jutek.

My mood is getting worse after papi's departure. I am like a man who has no faith.

" You don't want to take this?" Angry asked.

" No." Reply relax.

" What do you want then?"
