"Assalamualaikum," Kira said a greeting upon arriving at her father's house.
"Wa aleikum salam" said Mother from inside the house. Mom was watching television showing Ftv about the wife she hurt. Even Mother did not distract her from the glass screen, as Kira entered sitting next to her. Kira looked at Mom and the television alternately, while greeting her mother.
"Mom, this is Kira, I don't miss your child?" Kira looked at her mother who ignored her.
"No, almost 32 years old I saw your face," replied Mother at a glance. "Don't be noisy ah, this is good again, Ra. Later, the actor will have to be doomed."
"Udah can guess Mom, isn't it like it continues the story?."
"The days are like that too, Ra." Kira looked towards her father. Dad still wears sarongs and peci, it looks like Dad just finished praying dzuhur.
Kira rushes up to greet Father, who looks more healthy and radiant.
"The father was seneng, Ra, there are children here, so Mom is disturbing," Dad smiled as he rubbed his eldest daughter's head.
Kira laughed, "If it continues here, I'm the lonely one, Dad."
"Said Jen there's Harris' friend, Ra? Is that true?" asked Mother, this time she turned to Kira to leave her drama.
Kira hissed, "Jen's mouth must be in duct tape, let's not say much" Inner Kira.
Kira turned to Father who also seemed to be waiting for Kira's answer.
"Right, Mom," Kira hesitates to tell the truth, what if her parents think nothing of her ex?
"He's your husband's friend or ex-lover?" asked Dad a little hardened.
"Dad, calm down first" Kira grabbed his father's hand. "I can explain everything, Dad."
"So, is she really your husband's lover, Ra?" Mother really turned her attention to Kira whose life was more drama than the ftv she was watching.
Kira gulps, the two of them do not know that Kira is the third person in Harris and Viona's relationship.
"Former Mom, so she is the artist who plays Mother's favorite soap opera," replied Kira, a little consolation to her Mother, but it seems, Mother does not care.
"He's Viona, Mom. She was tricked by her assistant, and now she's pregnant-,"
"What?" cried Father and Mother together.
"The mouth of the trash," Inner Kira. She bit her cursed lips, which are now even more leaking than Jen's mouth.
"Calm down first" Kira grimaced a little more, Nina came in when she heard Mom and Dad yelling.
"That's not Harris's son, ma'am. He's someone else's son, and we're just helping him, he's got nothing left, '" replied Kira a little lie to appease her parents. Forgive me, O God, his heart.
"You sure you didn't lie to us?" Father Cecar, it seems like not only was Kira traumatized by the failure of the household. Even his parents suffered more.
"No, Dad, Kira how dare to hide Kira's problems after all the past," Kira tried to stay calm, even though she was actually sweating coldly.
"Finely, your words are correct, otherwise, no matter what, I will take you home," said Father accompanied by a sharp gaze full of decisiveness. He does not want mistakes to happen again, in the life of his daughter.
"Father and Mother take it easy, Kira was wrong and stupid, before, but now, Kira will maintain what Kira has," said Kira firmly, said, it was fiery as if it was burning the spirit of fighters to fight against the invaders.
The three of them were silent, but their sharp glare, glaring sharply at Kira. Makes Kira tremble in fear.
"Gosh, I should have just told Doni, if this is how I feel, they are so scary" Kira murmured inwardly.
"Mom believe in you, I'm sure you have your own reasons" said Mother to cool the very hot atmosphere.
Kira breathed a sigh of relief, finally, Mother's consolation sentence made both Father and Nina, soften a little.
"Mama," Jen Screech. Everyone looked at the source of the voice behind them. Kira breathes a sigh of relief, Jen rescues her from the frenzy of her parents.
"Hi, dear," Kira rose to greet Jen, still under the piercing gaze of her father.
"Where, Ma?," Jen embraces her Mama. Kira brushed Jen's face with a kiss. The round cheeks that always ride when kissed make Kira anxious. I want to feel like biting him.
"Papa's still working, honey. You forgot?" Kira pinched Jen's tiny nose.
"Oh, yes. Jen forgot, because Jen's school is off, so Jen thinks Papa is also off," Kira is very anxious with her only daughter. His eyes flickered, waving his long and bushy eyelashes. Her tiny lips, red like cherries, furrowed cutely.
"Papa never had a holiday, honey. Because Papa's workers aren't students like Jen, "Jen's lips are round oh ria. With a head that is bent makes two ties of his hair sway.
"Mama," Excel approached Mama on Jeje's tail who seemed to wake up.
"Hi, hotshot Mama, wake up huh?," Kira widened her free hand from Jen. Welcomed the two sons who kissed her cheek.
"Jeje who sleeps, Excel doesn't," replied Excel flatly. Kira rubbed her son's cheek the largest, and the most rigid, but cared and understood Mama the most.
"Jeje overslept Ma, because of Jen, last night was noisy with Aunt Nina." Jeje hugged Mama for a while, then got up again. And stand next to Excel.
"Stand up yuk, Mama's leg cramp, Jen. You're getting heavier, "Kira pushed Jen to stand up.
"Have eaten yet?" asked Kira when she had managed to stand up even though her legs felt numb.
"Here you go, Ma." Answer Jen. Kira gulped, she wished her son had not had lunch, and she could have lunch together. Kira is still hesitant because until now her father still sends a sharp gaze to Kira. It was as if trying to scan the lies between the happy faces of his daughter.
"Nina hasn't eaten yet, Ma'am. Let's have lunch together," Nina seemed to understand her brother's predicament. Nina stepped onto the dining table containing Mother's various dishes. Vegetable sop, jengkol stew, sambal, vegetable lodeh, and also tempeh and tofu. Daily menu that Kira likes.
"Sir, Nina hope what Mbak said was true, we don't want Mbak to be sick anymore" Nina said as they both sat at the dinner table.
"Mbak didn't lie to Nin, Ma'am and Mas Harris, just to help him. After all, she had her health problems Nin. Play at home sometime, if you see the situation, you will surely be pity," replied Kira. His hands that were originally going to take rice, had to be crushed.
"Sir, don't be too good with people, it could be the spawn of Mbak pelakor, just like when you nurture Melisa," Nina still put all her attention on her sister. But, it seems like this time, her brother did not try to cover up any more problems in his household, like before.
"Nin, there are certain things that require me to do all this. And, I don't think now's the right time to discuss that," Kira finally gave up, she didn't take the rice, instead closing the hood. Better hurry to get home.
Kira immediately helps the children pack, although not much is prepared but because he is a little upset so it feels heavy and sweaty.
"Come, baby," Kira tied her hair before holding Jen and a bag containing Jen's books and toys.
After bidding farewell to her parents, Kira gets into the car with Jen, while Excel and Jeje are still inside. I don't know what they're still doing.
Kira is upset at the feeling of being pushed back, but she still tries to be polite with her parents. He knew they were only worried about his daughter's sanity. If with Rian alone, Kira was like a madman, what if left Harris, the man who made Kira soar, must have fallen formless.
