MAMA's Soul Secret

Looking for young mango

From a distance visible bright lights coming from a mini market, it makes Shaina can breathe a sigh of relief because she finds a place of crowds and will end her fear.

"Damelene!"

the call was increasingly clearly heard which was also offset by the clattering of steps approaching it.

"Sorry Helena! Don't be afraid of me!" shaina who covered her ears with both hands.

Suddenly her hand pulled her, "Helena! It'sme!".

Shaina opened her eyes and saw Joon standing in front of her. Spontaneous Shaina hits and pushes Joon backwards.

"What the fuck?" Pekik Joon's.

"Sir Joon?" Shaina blinked, "is this really you?" Ask.

"Who else will be looking for you these nights?" Ketus Joon's.

Shaina looks up to see Joon standing in front of her.

"Don't look at me like that!" Joon turns his face away from Shaina, "why did you just leave after getting the money?" timpal Joon's.

"Then how else? I can't wait anymore, I really want to eat mangoes since this morning" Shaina muttered.

"Huufff! Let's go!" bring Joon.

"No, I want mangoes!" Press Shaina.

"There's no way we're going" Joon lifted his chin to the end of the street where there's another supermarket.

"Then let's go! I can't wait to eat it" exclaimed Shaina who walked first in front of Joon, then stopped and turned around. "What about Alice and Alfan? They're both home"

"Don't worry about them, I already said I came out with you and told them to lock the door" Joon said.

Shaina continued on with a smile on her lips. Joon arranges his steps to go hand in hand with Shaina's steps, occasionally glancing at the woman next to him, paying attention to every detail of Shaina's movements, from the way of walking and smiling as well as the way of seeing even other things it was very different from his brother-in-law whom he recognized despite the same body and face but there was a difference in significance.

Helena who used to be a strict and purposeful woman but Helena in front of her now, a sweet and smiling woman, her gaze also felt soft.

"Shaina" Joon said.

Shaina stops and looks at Joon with a big smile and nods a little, and doesn't know what to say because she feels very happy that someone called her name.

"That's your name?" Ask Joon

Shaina smiled and nodded, "Shaina Hafizah" Shaina said.

"The one-time market your name is also a bit of a village" chirped Joon who joined in.

Shaina squinted her eyes at Joon, "What about your own father?" reply Shaina.

Joon looks at Shaina with the tail of his eyes with his lips pursed, Joon pushes his hand, "Joon Rafardhan, just call Joon do not use father or master, do I look like fathers?".

Shaina nodded and continued walking.

"Do you like eating mangoes?" Added Joon.

Shaina shook her head, "I don't like mangoes or sour fruits"

"Then? Why do you want to eat mangoes now even at nights like this you want to look for mangoes?" Ask Joon.

"It's not me who wants to eat mangoes but because of this!" Shaina pointed at her stomach stroking her.

Joon glanced at Shaina and the part he pointed to, "You mean you're craving?" Ask Joon.

Shaina nodded again while turning her face away in embarrassment. Joon is surprised and forgets that Helena is pregnant.

Arriving at the supermarket Joon immediately invites Shaina to the fruit sales section, looking for mangoes from a row of fruits, but he does not find young mangoes except those that are ripe.

"Nothing" Joon said.

Joon saw Shaina looked very disappointed even clearly his eyes glazed like he wanted to cry.

"Let's go there!" Take Joon to the rack of fruits that are packed and also peeled.

Joon took one box of mango and paid for it while asking, "Miss, is there a stock of young mangoes?"

"Sorry, we do not have a stock of young mangoes but the mature ones are there" said the cashier.

"If you can know where you sell young mangoes?" Ask Joon again.

"Sorry sir, I don't know" said the cashier again.

Joon pays for the wrapped mango and opens it when they are outside to be tasted by Shaina.

Shaina took a slice of mango and ate it, "It's bad, I want a young mango" Shaina grumbled.

"I have to what? I didn't know I had to look for mangoes these nights" Joon said.

"Who's wrong? Though if it was sought after this afternoon must have met" keusus Shaina.

"You're blaming me?" Timpal Joon's.

Shaina furrowed her brows with her aunt shrinking and lowered her head.

"Excuse me..." Sela a mother who suddenly appears behind them Shaina.

Miss Bianca?" Joon said, Shaina also looked at the woman by removing her frown.

"You guys looking for young mangoes?" ask Mrs Layla.

Joon and Shaina looked at each other and nodded together.

"really? I want to" Shaina said.

Lady Layla chuckles at the enthusiastic-looking Shaina, "then you can come to my house" he continued.

Shaina throws her eyes at the silent Joon, Lady Layla also comes to notice their attitude where Joon looks disinterested even though Shaina puts on a face begging him to the man.

Think for a moment until Joon says, "Alright, let's go, I'll find a cab".

"No need, I came with her father Harris, you can take our car" said Mrs Layla.

The middle-aged woman took them to a car parked in front of the supermarket, in which her husband was waiting for Lady Layla to shop.

After a few minutes they arrived at Madam Layla's house, right as she said earlier in her house there was a mango planted in a special place with special care, although the tree is not large or high but with special care the tree produces quite thick fruit.

Mr. Herman, the husband of Madam Layla who is a native Indonesian who loves mango so do not be surprised if the house is a lot in the cultivation of mango trees that he always takes good care of.

The middle-aged man lit up a mango branch with his cell phone flashlight, revealing his beloved, bushy-fruited mango.

"Well...! So much is too much!" As Shaina was amazed by the thick mango, several times Herman and Lady Layla caught Shaina hissing at the sight of a young mango.

"You can take whatever you want" said Mr. Herman.

"Thank you sir" Joon said. Then he picked two young mangoes according to Shaina's wishes.

"Joon...?" Said Harris who suddenly came out of the house because he saw his parents chatting with someone near a mango tree.

Joon looked at the origin of the voice.

"Why are you here at night?" Ask Harris.

"You asked for mangoes" Joon replied.

Harris saw Helena ducking politely and in her hand holding a mango.

"Oh that's not ripe yet does not taste good, I have a mature mother in the refrigerator, I get it" said Harris.

"No need, we are looking for young ones" Joon said.

"But it's not good" Harris said again.

Madam Layla smiled at Shaina who continued to inhale the aroma of mangoes, she looked impatient to eat them. Occasionally he is also seen massaging his tired legs walking from home to the supermarket.

"You'll come in for a minute" said Ms. Layla.

"No need ma'am, we go home first" Joon said.

"No Joon, your wife must rest first pity her feet are sore because they often walk" continued Madam Layla.

Joon and Shaina are shocked, they share their views and indeed Shaina keeps shaking her achy legs.

"Sorry Madam, I'm not married" Joon said.

"Oh! The association of young people now is somewhat different, hehehe..." Madam Layla grinned at the two of them and Mr. Herman smiled.

Joon is surprised to hear the words of Lady Layla, Shaina also seems uncomfortable with the thought of Madam Layla who thinks they are both a couple who are pregnant without marriage.

"What the hell is this mom? That's Professor Helena, Joon's sister-in-law, her husband who had an accident at the time" Harris said.

Mrs Layla and Mr. Herman gasped, "Oh sorry son Joon, I didn't know that this is Mrs Helena" Layla said.

"It's okay madam" Joon said.

Joon accepts Mrs Layla and Mr. Herman's offer to enter his house, let alone Shaina looks once he is exhausted after walking from home to the supermarket because Joon who does not want to buy him a mango. Madam Bianca served them a drink but she also served young mangoes that she had peeled specifically for Shaina.

"Thank you Madam, this is so delicious" Shaina said.

Joon and Harris grimaced to see Shaina finish off the slices of young mango.

"Sorry Miss Helena, isn't that a little sour?" Ask Harris.

"No. It's delicious" Shaina said.

"But" said Harris

"How many months has it been, Miss Helena?" Madame Layla's question cut off Harris's conversation.

Shaina flinches, throws her gaze at Joon and doesn't understand what madam Layla means . Then he looked at her hand holding the mango slices and made her aware of the middle-aged woman's intentions.

"Emm...! Only three Madam" said Shaina smiled as she grimaced with embarrassment because she had to answer questions when she was not ready to get pregnant.

Joon looks at his watch, they have been at the Harris family residence for a long time, Joon says goodbye and takes Shaina home because it is night.

"You guys are coming home on foot?" Ask Mrs Layla.

"I'll find Madam's taxi" Joon said.

"Those nights you think, there will rarely be a taxi that goes this way" said Mr. Herman.

"Yes, son, you borrow Harris's motorbike, pity Ms. Helena" Layla added.

"No, ma'am" sergeant Joon.

"It's okay Joon, just take my bike, tomorrow morning I'll take it myself" Harris added.

Joon sees Shaina who looks exhausted even quietly he massages her legs.
