62 Tense

"I have good news for you." Naya looked at her best friend's face one by one.

"What?"

"We were chosen to attend an international seminar."

His four best friends cheered happily, of course they were very happy. Not all doctors can attend this seminar, let alone they are very young.

"But isn't the seminar in Jakarta?"

"So we get ready."

"Particularly you, Rei."

They knew what Naya meant.

"Don't be afraid, no matter what happens to you in the future, face it bravely. Can't be weak let alone oppressed."

REI nodded steadily, many years together with Naya, of course she learned many things. Life is not just a smart or stupid thing. Smart is not only a matter of academic intelligence, but how to deal with problems.

Get them at Jakarta airport. The blazing weather immediately welcomed the arrival of the five young and beautiful women.

"We'll go straight to the hotel. Pegel warmed me up," lamented Letta.

"Where are you going to the hotel, if not to the hotel?"

"To the mall."

"Oh my goodness, Let. You really want to go to the mall."

"And we have not been to the mall for a long time .. mall Jakarta, that is." Letta laughed at the annoyed faces of her friends.

In the same city, different places.

"Radhi, Raine, you've been playing, you're tired of it."

"Let's go, Ma. We want to show our toys to Chiro."

"The chiro?"

"Yes, Chiro will come here with the uncle."

Not long after that Chiro came with daddy and his uncle.

"Chiro look, we've got a new toy."

Chiro kept quiet, the child was still in the arms of her extremely possessive daddy.

"Come on, Chiro, we play."

Still Chiro was silent, she seemed to be very reluctant to talk to anyone. The boy glanced at Viola a little.

"Why Chiro?" ask Viola softly.

"I want to play with Mom. Why mommy hasn't come home."

Silence, no one answers the actual statement, not the question.

"Chiro, you can think of our mama as your mommy."

"Therefore alike. Mommy I am my mommy, your mama yes your mama. Would you consider another woman who did not give birth to you as your mother? And not admitting the birth mother who gave birth to you?"

Viola's body trembled, his heart grew furious at the words of this very small but intelligent boy. He glanced at Marva who was also silent. Even Marva's grandfather and both parents were also silently listening to that.

Wanna mad?

Is it appropriate to be angry at a child who says what it is?

"True, said the teacher, we should love our biological parents. Especially the mother who gave us birth to the world. Isn't that right, Radhi?" ask Raine.

"Yes, we must love our real mama, Rain."

Radhi and Raine approach Chiro and embrace her brother.

"Later mommy Chiro will definitely come home."

"Yes, Chiro will soon meet with mommy" said Chiro sure.

"Let's play. Dad bought us a new toy."

"I have a lot of toys. Every time I go abroad, daddy's gonna buy me a lot of toys."

The three children then went to the back garden, leaving the adults with mixed thoughts and feelings.

Since then, Viola had lowered his head. He doesn't want Rei back. They do not want their children to meet this woman. It is not she who gave birth to twins, but she loves both of them like her own mother. Over the past few years, everything has gone well and is fine. Marva has always been nice to her other than she is busy with work, but no one has ever mentioned her name in this house, including Marva, although it is only delirious also never.

"There's no food, Tan?" tanya Ikmal broke the silence.

Not long after the food and drinks came, the airing was just removed from the oven.

Radhi and Raine enter when they smell the cake, followed by Chiro.

"Chiro, try this cake. It's delicious, but mom and dad don't like it very much" Raine said as he fed the cake to Chiro's mouth.

Chiro looked at the cakes on the table.

"I also like traditional pastries, but daddy doesn't really like them."

"really?"

"Yes. Mommy I love these cookies too."

"You know where you've never met your mommy."

"My face looks like daddy, some of it must look like mommy. So if my favorite is different from daddy, then I inherited it from my mommy, right."

Radhi and Raine were silent, thinking.

"Are we not father and mother's children, are we?"

"What are you talking about? Of course you're dad's kids, don't talk like that again, yeah!" rebut Marva quickly.

"Come, let's just take this cake to the back."

"H wait, what about uncle?" ask Marcell.

"Uncle just ask in the kitchen, these cookies are for us."

After the departure of the three, Vian rubbed his chest.

"The three of them are talking, why am I tense? Anjir, my heart's beating."
