"I met the woman who took care of Rayyan" I said.
"really? Who is this woman, and where is her home? Right now I'm going to pick up Rayyan and hand her over to her real mother" Maureen said excitedly.
"Although I've met the woman who took care of Rayyan, but Big Brother will never be able to see Rayyan again. Neither did Miss Mala, she would never be able to meet her biological son."
"Whatchu mean? Don't confuse me."
"Rayyan .. Rayyan is dead, Brother. He was one of the victims of the Lyra school bus accident yesterday" I said.
"Innalilahi wa inna ilaihi raji. So what do we do now? If Rayyan were gone, I would never again be able to embrace my son Saddam?"
"I was confused how to explain it to Mala. Since hearing Sister Siska's confession that Saddam and Rayyan were exchanged, Mala demanded that Rayyan be found and handed back to her. But if this is how do I explain it? I was scared, …"
"What are you afraid of, Ra?"
"I'm afraid Mala's mom is suing Big Brother because Sister has told Sister Siska to exchange her biological child for baby sister. Brother could get back in trouble with the law."
"No! Nah! I don't want to be a resident of that horrible place anymore!"
Suddenly Maureen's brother grabbed my hand.
"Zura, you have to help me. You have to do something" he said, half begging.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"You can adopt a boy Rayyan's age, then hand him over to Mala's mom. She won't be suspicious, after all Mala hasn't seen Rayyan's face, has she?"
"Astaghfirullahaldzim says. When will Big Brother realize that a lie will ultimately only harm us? I'll never do what you want even if you insist."
"So, you'd rather I go to jail again? It was true said Kinanti's mother. Now you're turning selfish."
"Silver brother says I'm selfish or what. But one thing you need to know, honesty is currency that applies anywhere. That's my life principle."
Apparently our chatter pulled mom out of her room.
"Who's visiting, son?" tanyanya while walking towards the living room.
"Mother, …"
Finding Maureen's brother chatting with me, of course made him shocked and confused.
"Maureen's? You, …? Why are you here? Didn't you, .." Mom hung up the sentence.
"I'm getting remission, Mom. My prison term should have been four years, to just three."
"Wantas? Why did you come back here? Not going home to your Fabian's," mother murmured.
"I've been to Fabian's mansion, but all I've met was Mrs Kinanti, and she kicked me out of her rented house."
"Old women have no heart. How could he possibly expel his own son-in-law?!"
"Mother says she's ashamed to have an ex-con daughter-in-law. I've been living in the house of one of these convection employees for the past few days. Because it is not good to continue to bother him, I also intend to work in his place of work. I didn't expect this convection to belong to Zura."
"You saw for yourself, didn't you? Zura has always been luckier than you. If you don't tease Fabian, they'll live happily. I know, you came here just to hitchhike a good life, right?"
Brother Maureen smiled blandly.
"It is so true. Zura is now a successful entrepreneur. But, look at you. You're just an ex-con with a bleak future" she wrote.
"I shouldn't have said that to Maureen's sister. We never know the destiny line that God has written for us. Maybe now Maureen's sister is at the lowest point of her life. But it's not impossible that one day he'll have a better life."
"You don't want to be good at praying for me. I know, in your heart now you're laughing ever a victory."
"Astaghfirullahaldzim, why are you talking like that? This brother is my brother, if you are happy, I am happy too. But on the contrary, if you are in trouble I feel it too."
"Omong empty! If you really think of me as a brother, you would never think of me if I asked for help."
"If you want to stay here, please. I don't mind at all. But if you ask me to lie, sorry, I can't do it."
"What lie do you mean, son?" ask mother.
"Lately I just found out that Rayyan who used to entrust Fabian to a taxi driver was dead in the Lyra school bus accident yesterday."
"Want to?"
"Sir Maureen asked me to adopt a boy Rayyan's age from the orphanage and then leave it to her biological mother who is currently taking care of Saddam. If I follow his will, doesn't that mean I'm involved in a lie?"
"Maureen. Is your head never far from a lie? Prison doesn't seem to make you a better person" she said.
"It seems that you would rather see me living in pain. Well, if that's what you want, I'll be out of your life right now! If necessary, I will never deal with you again!"
"That's not what I mean, other than by lying, there's still another way we can do to solve the problem" I said.
"Your brother is stubborn. If he wants to leave, let him go! He also did not give us any benefits!" ketus.
"But, Mum. Maureen's sister has no place to stay. Can you let her live out there?"
I grabbed Maureen's hand and grabbed her.
"Please don't go, brother. I love you," I said.
"That's it, don't make it easy!" Brother Maureen brushed my hand violently.
"I will prove to you that one day my life will be better than yours! Forget if we ever became a family!"
"So don't talk like that. Until whenever my brother is my brother." Once again I took her hand, but my sister again brushed it off.
"Here you go, why talk to such a stubborn woman. Let him do whatever he wants!"
Maureen's sister moved out of the living room. I tried to hold him back but his desire to leave was stronger.
He looked at me before leaving my house.
