Loving Assistant Mom

18

"Meisyaa..," Melda's aunt hugged Mei who had already let go of her embrace on Edwin's arm.

"Find this aunt Edwin," said Meisya with a confused look and eye, Edwin and aunt Melda shook hands but Edwin immediately retreated and let the two women in front of him speak.

"Sorry, auntie came early, papa James suddenly advanced the departure schedule because many will be completed here, where will the morning Meisya?" aunt Melda asked looking at Meisya who looked confused.

"Aunty breakfast, happened to be in front there is a foodtruck, no papa yes aunt, we have breakfast there," Meisya took aunt Melda step and turned to look at Edwin who nodded following Meisya's steps.

***

"We'll just sit here, baby," Edwin's soft voice shocked Meisya and Aunt Melda

 

"Iii.iiyaa," said Mei nervously.

They ordered breakfast and sat in the area near the foodtruck. There are a variety of cuisines and foods to choose from, Indonesian cuisine is in the menu of choice.

"Hmmm sorry if I may know you brother sister or cousin?"aunt Melda asked along with the food they ordered came.

Edwin took his food and stood up, smiling kindly at aunt Melda.

"Sorry my aunt will move the table, please if the aunt will continue the conversation with Meisya, I move there dear yes," Edwin put his foot up and sat a bit away, letting Mei solve her problem. Aunt Melda looked back at Mei with a questionable look.

"May aunt know dear, you and Edwin are indeed brother and sister? Eemmm aunt's birth name?" asked Aunt Melda repeating her question, start enjoying salad and hot lemon tea. Meisya held onto the finger of aunt Melda with mixed feelings.

"Tante, aunty promised to listen to the story of May until the end of the aunt, May will finish breakfast first May, sorry aunty, just warm chocolate with chesee cake aja kok aunty, sorry, it won't be long," Mei finished her breakfast immediately, finished her warm chocolate and ordered a bottle of mineral water. Aunt Melda watched Mei calmly, she just wished there were no surprises from Meisya's story later.

Edwin stepped forward, towards the park not far from where they were sitting.

Meisya was seen gulping down mineral water and looking at aunt Melda with a somewhat frightened look.

"Aunty, aunty promise yes will listen to Mei, aunt promise anything later that Mei will tell, aunty does not hate the same Mei," May looks increasingly worried, aunty Melda smiled holding May's fingers.

Mei stammeringly told everything without being reduced to increasingly blurred eyes and sobbing that was getting longer and longer.

"I'm sorry aunt, I can't resist James' wishes, he's too good for me, forgive me if I hurt aunt, aunt should be healthy, should be, should be, in order for James to find the most comfortable place to go home, he always said that aunty was everything to him, aunty had to heal," the sound of Mei's crying made Aunt Melda hold back tears, she stood up and hugged Meisya's head. Meisya finally stood up as well and cried on the shoulder of aunt Melda.

"James loves you Mei, aunty can see from the way he looks at you, but he came late, aunty sure he left for Korea because of his great love for you, and chose to turn off his feelings, he said, aunt will still think of you as a aunt, aunt also already loves you and will not change the feeling of aunty, not because of this problem we become far away May," aunt Melda unraveled her embrace, and the, wipe away May's tears.

"Aunty and om really hope you marry James but James is late in your life, but rest assured the feelings of aunt do not change for you," Aunt Melda hugged Mei tightly.

Edwin looked at it from afar with relief, he was sure Mei would have solved the problem. Edwin walked slowly closer to the two. As soon as she saw Edwin, Mei let go of aunt Melda's hug quietly. Aunt Melda turned to Edwin and tried to smile

"I'm sorry if we've disrupted your relationship, Meisya has made us fall in love, even if she's not a match for James, May's aunt's feelings won't change, pardon James, forgive us," said aunt Melda looking at Edwin who was smiling while nodding.

"Sama-sama aunt, I also apologize if there is finally an uncomfortable atmosphere," said Edwin slowly. Finally aunt Melda pampit on Meisya and Edwin. As he was about to step suddenly aunty Melda slightly staggered, Edwin quickly grabbed the shoulder of aunt Melda.

"Aunty, auntie's okay, right?" edwin asked, worried.

"It's okay, the most delicious aunt, from Perth came straight here," replied aunt Melda smiling and passing away leaving Edwin and Meisya still looking at him anxiously.

***

"I feel guilty as Aunt Melda was dear" Meisya said after they returned to Mei's apartment.

"But at least you're not playing cat-snake again as ort James, the longer they lie, the more sick they will be, May," Edwin calmed Meisya.

"So fitting to fall, the face of aunty Melda pale loh kak," said Mei sad.

"Dad, I saw that, sister was a bit anxious, actually Mei, hopefully not papa," Edwin stepped into the room and changed clothes with house clothes, t-shirts and shorts.

"Are we not going anywhere, brother?" tanya Mei stepped into her room about to change clothes anyway.

"No Mei, we're here, by the way, sitting on the couch or on the bed" Edwin half-screamed.

"Nggaaak not in bed, sister, Mei is afraid we are doing anything, kebablasan ntar," Mei also shouted from inside her room. Edwin laughed out loud.

Mei went out of the room and saw Edwin watching tv, I don't know what show.

"Watch what sis?" ask Mei.

"No idea, rather than no work," Edwin moved the channel.

"Silver means you're going back in the morning?"tanya Mei looked at Edwin up close, they were sitting on the sofa together.

"He uh want to come?" edwin asked, his gaze still on tv.

"Mauuu, but it's impossible" Mei whined softly. Edwin looked at Mei gently. 

"Two weeks later, my sister will be here, she said, "" Edwin saw Mei's wide eyes and hugged Edwin tightly.

"Yes brother, ah glad mother Minda come, we go for a trip three ntar huh brother?" mei's eyes shone brightly Edwin nodded with a smile.

***

At night when Mei was going to sleep Edwin went into his room. 

"Congratulations?" ask Edwin. Mei nodded slowly. Edwin rubbed Mei's head slowly and went to lie down next to Mei.

"Sleep, brother will just hug you," Edwin hugged Mei who was beginning to fall asleep. He kissed Mei's head many times. 

"Ah hope nothing else bothers us Mei, brother does not want to lose you," said Edwin Iirih, Mei was asleep. And Edwin tightened his arms.

***

Early in the morning Edwin was ready to go to the airport. 

"I'm back, baby, take good care of yourself, I want to say mom, we better get married, even if you haven't graduated, I'm horrified to leave you without a sure bond," edwin said slowly, but was able to make Mei slack.

"She's waiting for Mei to graduate?" whine Mei. Edwin nodded slowly.

"No, I feel like it's the best way, it's okay for you to get pregnant, but with us getting married, I'm calm, Mei" Edwin kissed Mei's lips softly. Meisya escorted Edwin outside the apartment. Edwin turned his head once more and waved his hand. Mei looks worried. Why did Edwin suddenly change his mind? 

*****

At night, as he was about to enter his room, Edwin heard his mother's greeting.

"Kok until the day in Aussie Ed, mama is no papa, just yes you two are there, really two, mama is worried you guys are forgetting the boundaries that deserve or not," said Minda slowly. Edwin looked over and smiled. Turn around and move closer to her mother.

"Mom, we're going to the dining room, yes, there's something Ed wants to talk about" Edwin and Minda stepped down the stairs to the dining room. Minda sat down and saw Edwin who was still drinking water in the refrigerator and sitting in front of him. Open the suit and put it on the back of the chair.

"Last noon I was here, from the airport directly to the office, I added the day there because May had a problem, a problem that I thought was important for the continuation of my relationship with Mei," edwin looked at his mother with a serious look.

"Oh yeah, what's the matter, it doesn't feel like Mei will duaing you, mama knows well the boy since childhood, he's a sweet boy, honest, although yes sometimes too innocent and innocent," Ms. Minda was a little surprised to hear the story from Edwin.

"Well, that's the problem, Mei doesn't want me to, but her kindness, honesty and innocence are the ills of my relationship with Mei," Edwin folded his shirt up to the elbow pulling his tie slowly. He sighed and then told the story from the beginning about James, then continued until the Perth incident and the meeting of May, Edwin and mama James.

Ms. Minda sighed heavily, frowned slowly and smiled.

"That kid was fun Ed, he could carry himself anywhere, his face was pretty, tiny, anyone would be easily interested and even fall in love with him."

"Makanya ma, I mean Edwin, gini, it's four months away May semester break, what if Ed married Meisya ma, it would be safe if Ed lingered in Aussie, Aussie,  if Mei wants to have children no problem, the important thing is Ed married first Mei, Ed is afraid ma, yes ma, can?" edwin asked looking anxiously at his mother's face. Madam Minda nodded quickly and smiled wider.

"Ah Edwin mama actually really wants you guys to get married, mama really agrees, yes baby yes, but have you talked about this with Meisya?" ask your mind seriously.

"It was fitting that I wanted to go to the airport, but did not discuss serious until ma, and it seems that Mei did not like it, she wanted after graduation only, well eventually deh ma, and so on, mama wants to persuade Mei, in two weeks you will go to the Aussie, all of you persuade Mei ma," Edwin's pinta with a serious face. Minda held back a laugh looking at Edwin's face.

"Sure, surely mama will persuade Mei, Edwiii Edwin, now ajaaa maksa maksa mama to persuade Mei to marry you, hmmm try first early in May here, get angry, ngusirlah, please,  halaaah hah," mama laughed as she shook her head. Edwin just scratched his head with a flushed face. Suddenly Bik Sum was already behind mama.

"There is something to Nyah kok night-night still telling stories and it seems like den Ed brought good news, to make his mother laugh," asked Bik Sum.

"This is a loh bik, Edwin nyuru I make persuasion Mei want to marry Ed, kok do not remember me first when Mei was invited to the middleman, ngusir too," mama laughed again and Bik Sum finally laughed too.

"Holah nyaaah really, really good child, really invited tengkaaar continued, said, based, ealah ndilalah kok ya finally want to be invited to marry, deeen den, funny story of these two children nyah, nah, come cepet marriage mumpung bik Sum still healthy, later his son den Ed let the foster aunt," bik Sum again laugh.

Finally Edwin relented, the two who laughed nonstop, stepping into his room.

Edwin undressed and went to the bathroom. When he finished he rushed out of the bathroom when he heard his cell phone ringing a video call from Meisya...

Edwin closed his video connection and smiled slowly, a sudden sense of kangen bursting into his chest. May has waited four months. Edwin put down his phone. She lay down her body and closed her eyes trying to cast off Meisya's shadow.

***

Early in the morning Meisya was shocked by the call from her phone. Ah James' mom? What do you think Mei, shouldn't she be in Perth, what's up early in the morning. Dazedly Meisya brought the phone closer to her ear.

Yes halooo

Meisya?

What is it, om?

Can you come to the hospital where James' mom is being treated?  He's been asking you since

Which hospital is

Papa James mentioned the name and address of the hospital where James' mother was treated

Meisya hung up her phone, she was worried, had to go there or not?
