MAMA's Soul Secret

Waiting for sister-in-law

After returning from the hospital, none of them started the conversation, other than Shaina confused to answer if Joon asks where Helena is now, then Shaina chose silence to avoid the question.

the soul-swapping woman sat on the sofa resting her slightly tired joints, before Joon came to bring her a glass of water to drink.

"I'm sorry about this morning" Joon said, breaking the silence between them.

At first glance Shaina glanced at the charming man and immediately she turned her eyes back while answering, "yes".

Shaina hesitantly turns her eyes back to Joon, asking, "you're not working?".

"I've asked permission to enter late" Joon said.

"Emm..." Shaina Mutters.

He opened the envelope given by the doctor, containing a picture of his fetus 4D, and,

Joon sees Shaina looking serious with the picture but on the other hand his fingers squeeze tightly against the side of the paper.

"If you have something to say, just say it" Joon said.

Shaina lifts her face at Joon while soaking up her nervousness, she doesn't know what to say, because she believes Joon still won't hear the reality he's saying.

"Shaina" call Joon.

"Eh! Yes" Shaina quickly replied to him,

Joon observed the woman's every move and asked in a serious manner, "Are you not Helena? Please tell me the truth, I'll try to understand".

Shaina fell silent, "It's no use, you won't believe it either" Shaina got up from her seat, "I'm going to the room first" he added before he stepped up.

"Say! I promise I won't scold you or accuse you of being a no-no" Joon intercepts Shaina's hand.

Shaina looked directly into Joon's eyes with great steadiness, "I'm not Helena but Shaina, I don't know this woman or all of you, and if you ask where Helena is then the answer I don't know, because I don't understand what's happening to me!" Shaina took her hand off Joon's, "it's up to me to be accused of what, I accept it" she added.

Joon was silent with eyes still looking at Shaina then he seemed to exhale which can be interpreted Shaina, "anyone please take care of Helena's fetus and my sister, I don't want anyone to lose anymore", said Joon.

Shaina looked at her belly, "I'm not pregnant but I'll try to look after her" Shaina said.

*****

Working as Batista makes Joon quite busy serving his customers, his expertise in concocting espresso is no doubt thanks to perseverance and patience so far, although he is still relatively new to the world. However, like the previous days he became the target of women who often present a tempting look at him.

The atmosphere of the cafe is quite busy in office break hours, requiring the waiters to always be deft in serving its customers. No exception Harris who is also good at making espresso-based coffee, but on the sidelines of the busyness he still had time to joke or tease his closest friend.

"Hey! You see that girl?" Harris said as he set his sights on one of the sexy women at the end table, "I got her contact number!!" Harris showed me the number written on a piece of paper.

But Joon did not budge from his coffee cup, although Harris seemed very enthusiastic about the topic of his conversation about the women.

"Later tonight, me and the others are going to the club" Harris added.

Joon turns to Harris who is waiting for his response, Shaina's confession about her who is not Helena reverberates in his head giving Joon a headache thinking about her.

"I'll come too" Joon said.

"That's new! So we can have fun together!!" Harris patted Joon on the shoulder.

Joon gives his coffee to the waitress, then wiped his hands.

***

Shaina still does not believe Joon wants to listen to his statement about himself which was previously often considered mere nonsense by him. Although it seems trivial but for Shaina it has made her happy. He could not wait for the children to go home from school, for some reason after he began to accept his fate now he also began to feel comfortable with the existence of the children of Helena even about her pregnancy.

Shaina timidly tried stroking her stomach while muttering, "little baby, from now on I'm your Mama, you're not angry are you?" His voice sounded stammered as he said that.

Not long after that, the sound of a car engine that stopped in front of the house was followed by the sound of Alice and Alfan entering the house.

Shaina also greeted them kindly and told them to take a shower and Shaina had also prepared lunch.

Shaina was really fascinated by the look she had, she also felt Helena was very lucky to have obedient and obedient children like them. So that Shaina herself does not feel burdened or experience with them.

"Mama, what is this cooking?" Ask Alfan while looking at the menu presented on the minimalist dining table.

Alfan and Alice seem confused by some of their Mama's dishes these days, which is different from usual even Shaina's dishes they've never seen before.

Shaina said, "sorry yes, I can't cook your cooking" Shaina said with her guilty face.

Alice and Alfan admit Shaina's cooking is strange and tastes different to their tongues but, they are happy their mother is now, because Shaina is more often at home spending time with them, unlike the old days, Shaina barely has any free time at home, sometimes even going home late at night when her two children are already asleep.

Hugs and kisses have often gotten from them, starting before school, going home from school even before going to bed and Shaina was happy to be needed such from the two children.

Jan wall already showed at half ten in the evening, the children had been asleep since last time after finishing working on their PR, Shaina was still busy watching TV in the living room to distract her who felt saturated, and she was still watching the TV, he is also not sleepy because he is worried about Joon who has not come home because during Shaina stay with him not even though Joon came home late at night.

Shaina occasionally looks at the clock or out the window, hoping Joon has parked his car in the garage next to the house, but every time Shaina sees it only solitude and emptiness are obtained.

Shaina emboldens herself to call Joon but his call is not answered even if Joon turns off his phone. It makes Shaina even more agitated and worried about Joon.

"Darling, look at your uncle, it's been so late why doesn't he come home?" Shaina muttered with her hand stroking her stomach.

"You're not angry, are you, if I call you dear and be your Mama? Because I have no more interlocutors who can understand my situation now" added Shaina who spoke alone in the living room.

The loud sound of music playing is enough to whisper the ears, so that anyone who is in the room with a dim light must speak in a loud voice as if shouting in order to be heard by the interlocutor. Not to mention people joget following the music in play, there is also sitting together both with known people and not, there are also those who just sit alone while enjoying the intoxicating drink with various types, including, women and men blend into one in the room, some are still in a state of consciousness or not because of the influence of alcoholic beverages.

Of the many people in the room there are Joon and his friends including Harris. Seen as some scantily clad and sexy women sitting among them except near Joon, no one wants to sit nearby but Joon tells the sexy women to stay away from him, he is not going to be with anyone right now.

"Hey buddy, what's wrong with you? Drink a lot of you" said the man next to her Joon.

"Yes, are you in trouble? Your sister-in-law keeps calling you" Harris added.

Joon ignores his friends' questions and cooks his drink to the point of finishing his glass, "he's not my brother-in-law" Joon murmured.

"Do you have a problem with her to the point that you don't admit it?" Harris said.

"The problem? Yes I'm in trouble, my brain is out of bounds, I believe the woman's words, she says that she's not Helena but another woman" muttered Joon who was half-conscious because of the influence of the alcoholic drink.

"Bas with this boy! He was really intoxicated and his speech was out of control" his friend added.

"Joon, let's go home, we'll take you home" Harris lifted Joon's staggered body.

"I don't want to go home... I don't want to meet that girl named Shaina, she's not Helena...".

Joon continues to mumble but his friends do not understand what Joon means. His head was stuck on the surface of the table because he could no longer control himself.

"She's not Helena. She's not Helena's name is Shaina, she's entering Helena's body..." Joon murmured again and he also added his drink which he knew how many glasses he spent.

Harris and Calvin look at each other and feel confused by Joon's increasingly uneasy words, and Joon continues to mutter the same thing about it not Helena but Shaina who has possessed Helena's body.

Harris and Calvin pick up Joon and drive him home because it is impossible for Joon to be allowed to drive in such consciousness. In the car Joon still speaks the same makes the two friends were even more surprised because Joon is usually a bit calm when drunk, especially with bad luck that befell him.

Hearing the sound of a car engine entering the yard, Shaina who began to fall asleep immediately woke up and looked through the window, she saw Joon coming out of the car assisted by Harris and another man, he said, Shaina takes the cardigan in the room to cover her body, she does not want Harris to enjoy Helena's body like that morning anymore.

When the door is knocked, Shaina opens it immediately because she is worried that Joon must be carried away by someone else.

"Joon! What's with you?" ask Shaina who is panicking. "You what is this?" He added smelling an unusual scent by Shaina.

"Sorry Miss Helena, Joon is drunk" Harris said.

"Drunk?" shaina.
