Marianas

Deja Vu

***

I don't think time has shown at three in the afternoon. And I spend all day of my day off just sleeping. No matter if Arya and Bima keep calling my phone, asking to hangout. Not to mention the terror from Melka who forced to come to my house. I regret being involved with that girl. Too many wants.

I walked down the stairs to the kitchen. It's good to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate while drizzling like this. I saw Bik Armiati was busy preparing dinner. A little surprised to see my arrival.

I don't usually go to the kitchen. If you need anything just ask the same maid. My pleasantries asked where Ana was who since breakfast this morning I had not seen her existence. Bik Armiati is Ana's mother. The two are not so close. Maybe because of Ana's cold attitude. But so Ana always helps whatever is the duty of Bik Armiati. Both the mother and the child had similar traits. Chilly.

From Bik Armiati, I know that Ana spent her time off studying in the library. It seems like Ana really wanted the scholarship. That's why he tried so hard to get away. I can imagine how boring his life was spent studying and continuing to learn.

I overheard laughter coming from Amera's room as I was about to return to my room. Curiosity drew me closer to eavesdropping. I was afraid that Amera would smuggle the unknown artist into her room. But after I made sure the sound of laughter was not the laughter of a man. I opened the door to Amera's room and was shocked to see who was in Amera's room.

" Mom ?" pekikku seemed to be in disbelief when he saw a woman who had been almost 3 years ago I did not meet suddenly just present in front of me. Mom and Amera were a little surprised when they saw me.

" When are you gonna learn to knock on the door ?" amera asked a little annoyed.

Mom smiled, hugged me. He said many times he missed me. While I was still silent. I can't believe that what my father said this morning about my mother's return to this house is not just a joke.

The three of us sat around in a beautiful balcony enjoying a cup of hot chocolate. While looking at the drizzle that carries the fragrant aroma of wet soil.

" Did you know that mom was here ?" I break the silence.

" Don't you say it at breakfast ?" Amera cut the conversation.

" And you, did you know in advance about my mother's planned return to this house ?" my question was full of probes at Amera who just smiled sipping her hot chocolate.

" Are you not happy you're back in this house ?" Mother gently rubbed the back of my hand.

" It's not just that this is too sudden. For three years we have been accustomed to living without a mother. The reason why I left was for another man. It would feel strange if suddenly mom came back again "I looked straight ahead. Still vividly remembered when mom ignored when I cried asking her not to go. I was so sad at that time.

" Forget over the past. The most important thing right now is that mom is back with us. It's not entirely mom's fault after all if you're gone. Anyone can't stand living with a man like "Amera's father doesn't stop defending mom. He must have gotten so many gifts that he forgot his pain of being dumped.

" I can't believe that you're going to take mom back to this house "why don't I feel sorry for the old man.

" Why not ? My mom owns 50% of the company. Even the mother is entitled to the ownership of this house. I have no right to forbid mom from coming back here "defa Amera. I want to stuff his mouth so I don't talk much.

" I know maybe you're still upset with mom for what happened. But trust me, I will make up for everything that has happened in the past. And one more thing, mom's coming back for mom's kids not for your dad. So, please give mom one more chance !!" Mother held my hand and Amera. A woman who still looks beautiful like before even though she is not young anymore. But considering her affair with the young man, it pissed me back. However, the father became ten times harder since the departure of the mother. And it makes me very depressed.

The drizzle has not subsided. Ana stands at the bus waiting for the bus to come. His hands were playing with the rain. No matter the splash of water that hit his face. His short hair was allowed to unravel in the wind. Ana smiled remembering her memories with the man she liked while drizzling like this. Missing, that's what her heart said. And again Ana told her heart to be patient.

From a distance, Bian looked at what Ana was doing from inside her car.

" Isn't that the girl who beat you up at Amera school yesterday ?" johan asked.

" The girl is very unique "A brief Bian replied.

" Don't tell me you like it ? That girl doesn't even look like your type !!"

Bian just laughed at Johan's words.

" I'm just saying that girl is unique. Not that I'm interested in him "

" All right, I get it. Then are you gonna give that girl a ride ?"

" She's not the girl who'll be happy when someone gives her a ride. He doesn't even recognize my artistry "

" It looks like you're still grudging because of that "Johan laughs wryly. And that pisses Bian off. Bian stared intently at Ana who was playing with rainwater.

Ana ran small, entering the gate yard. His head was raised as someone called out to him. There was a bit of worry on his face. While mom, smiling at the arrival of Ana.

" How are you doing Ana ?" mother asked with a smile as Ana joined us at the balcony.

" Good Madam !!" ana replied briefly without daring to turn her head towards mother.

" You've now grown into a beautiful girl. Yet beauty alone will not be enough to charm a rich man "

I don't know what she meant to say but I can see Ana feeling uncomfortable hearing that.

" What's beautiful ? She always looks messy never taking good care of herself "Amera looks dislike when mom praises Ana. No, to me when mom said pretty Ana wasn't a compliment, it sounded like a satire. Mom laughed loudly hearing Amera sulk.

" Of course your mother's daughter is the most beautiful "mayu mother stroked Amera's cheeks.

" At least Ana is smarter than you, isn't she ? Even he tried hard to get a scholarship to Germany ? " I'm trying to defend Ana.

But the girl just glared at me not liking me. And mother, her smile suddenly disappeared.

" German ?" tanyanya full of search.

" You dream too high, wake up !!" ejek Amera underestimates.

" Hush up !!" my orders to Amera.

" Why is it ? You're the one who's silent !!" Amera just glared at me.

" Can I go back to the kitchen now ? I have to help mom prepare dinner ?" ana's face looked a little pale. Either because they feel uncomfortable with the words of mother and Amera or because of the cold.

" Go where you should be !! But before you go finish your hot chocolate so that your body is a little warmer !!" mother held out a glass of hot chocolate that Ana immediately spent. He didn't even blow it first. After that Ana left the three of us.

" Stop bothering Ana !!" my orders to Amera.

" Why ? You've always bothered her yourself, haven't you ?" refute Amera.

" When has my son become so concerned about our servant ? Are you interested in him ?" ask mom full search.

" Where may be the mother, Amero is only interested in one woman who will soon be the wife of people "Amera stick out her tongue mocking me.

" really ? Tell mom who's the woman who dares to dump my beloved son ?" mother smiled expectantly.

" Once, I was lazy with this discussion "I hurried away from Amera and mother who tried to hold me back. I can still faintly hear when mother told Amera to study hard to be number one ahead of Ana. I don't know why those two people hate Ana so much. What Ana did all this time was silence. Right, I also hate Ana for her cold attitude.

Ana looked at her face in the mirror. There was a little fear there. The return presence of the great mistress was enough to make him feel uncomfortable. Like something bad is going to happen to him. Ana was trying to strengthen herself if everything would be okay. Want to focus more on learning so that his dreams are achieved. Just a few more months in this house. Ana wants to live it without any problems. Hope so.
