My madam, my poison

Run from trouble

I'm pretty sure if the woman I saw sitting next to the steering wheel of the car was my older sister, Maureen. Why would he be in Fabian's car? Or maybe they go back?

After about 2 KM drove, Fabian's car finally stopped at a Mall. I got out of the taxi and approached the car.

"Fabian! Brother Maureen!" call me.

Both of them turned towards me.

"Zurais? Why are you here?" ask Fabian.

"Sir Maureen, we need to talk. I grabbed my sister's hand but she brushed it off violently.

"Don't hold-hold!" his jolt.

"There's something important we need to talk about, brother."

"I'm busy! I don't have time." Maureen took Fabian by the hand and invited him into the mall.

"Stop! Or I'll shout at you as thieves!" my threat.

"Here we go, let's listen to what he wants" Fabian said.

"What do you want to talk about?" ask Maureen ketus.

"It's about Mala and Rayyan's mom."

"Why with them? Isn't that kid dead?"

"The problem isn't that simple, brother.

Madam Mala intends to sue Brother."

"demanding me? What is my fault?

His son died in an accident, didn't he?"

"Yes but it was Brother who was the initial source of this problem. If you hadn't traded Sadam for Rayyan, Rayyan might be alive by now. Now you meet Mala's mom, you have to take responsibility for your actions."

"You mean, I have to go to jail a second time, right?"

"Sister is guilty of this, after all, even though it wasn't the brother's own hand that exchanged Rayyan for Saddam."

"What if I don't want to? After all, we've no concerns about Saddam's custody, have we? Miss Mala's son is dead so just think of Saddam instead, break even."

"So easy, Brother said that. It's about the feeling of a mother who has never seen her birth child and suddenly she hears that her child is dead. How would you feel if this happened to you?"

"ah! Never mind, don't talk about it anymore."

"Where can it be. Miss Mala demanded that I bring Big Brother before her, otherwise I should take the place of Big Brother."

"You said you loved me, right? Yes, you have changed my position. Sometimes you also need to feel how to stay in the bars."

"I think after getting out of prison Brother will change, it's still the same. Brother is still selfish and selfish."

"Come, we're in." Maureen's sister took Fabian's hand and took her away from me.

"Fabian wait! Where is your determination as the head of the family? Are you going to let Brother Maureen run away from her problem?"

"Who told you to tell Mala's mom that her son was dead? This matter happened because of your own fault, so you have to bear the consequences!"

"You guys are the same. I'm sorry I followed you all the way here."

"So, why are you still here? There go!" expel brother Maureen.

I was just getting out of there when my phone suddenly rang. Gibran called me. This time I felt so needy.

[Assalamu'alaikum]

[Waalaikum. Why does your voice sound so lethargic?]

[I-i, ..]

[Wait. Why do I hear motor vehicles? Where are you]

[I'm outside]

[Are you not the same Mr Amin?]

[Sir Amin was sick, so I took a taxi]

[Tell me where you are now, let me pick you up]

[No need, I can take a taxi home]

[Don't be stubborn! Quickly tell me where you are]

[I-I was in front of Mall GD]

- Suddenly call interrupted

"God. What are you doing? On the side of the road like a missing person."

"You're the one who stopped me from getting home in a cab."

"What's wrong?" ask her in such a soft tone.

I'm speechless. I don't know why clear circles just flow from both corners of my eyes.

"Loh, asked why even cry? Don't be shy. Let's have a chat at the cafe over there."

We walked to a cafe not far from the Mall. Gibran ordered a hot chocolate drink for me. He seems to know that my feelings are not okay right now.

"What's wrong? The story."

"It's about my brother, Maureen's sister."

I started the conversation.

"Why your sister? Did he make you cry?"

"I'm scared …"

"If you speak it is clear. Drink up, let's make you feel a little calmer."

Gibran grabbed one of the cups and gave it to me. 

"The story is long" I said shortly after putting the cup back.

"Even for three days and three nights, I'll be here listening to you."

"That's right." 

Without me knowing I was smiling. The man in front of me is unique. Sometimes he can be so serious, but not infrequently I am made amused because of his ridiculousness.

"Well, that's dong, smile. It looks good too."

I'm wasting my breath.

"This problem began when Maureen's sister gave birth to a baby boy three years ago. His son with Fabian was born disabled."

"wait. Your brother and Fabian? Meaning how?"

"The third man who broke my house and Fabian turned out to be my own brother, Maureen's brother who had undergone facial surgery and changed his name to Karmila."

"A woman really has no heart! Why is there such a man?"

"The reason is only one, he wants revenge on me."

"Revenge? What have you done wrong to him?"

I shook my head slowly.

"Sister Maureen envies me because she thinks that mom and dad only love me. In addition, during the fire at our house, my father and mother just saved me and left Maureen's brother when the fire started to grow. After a dozen years, it turns out that God reunited us even though he had to be the third person in my marriage and Fabian."

"Oh yeah, what about that disabled baby story? Did your brother throw it away?" ask Gibran.

I shook my head slowly.

"Not throw it away, but change it. Maureen's sister paid a nurse to exchange her baby for a patient named Mala's mother."

"Lantas, what makes you so confused?"

"The baby that Maureen and Fabian took care of was named Rayyan. But because of circumstances, Fabian entrusted Rayyan to a taxi driver."

"No wife, no husband. Both are mentally ill!"

"The problem is that Rayyan is dead. She was one of the few survivors in a bus accident when Lyra's school held a recreation two weeks ago. Ms. Mala intends to sue Maureen's sister on charges of kidnapping the baby and exchanging it."

"Why should you be dizzy? Your brother has made a big mistake. He deserves the right punishment" Gibran said.

"The problem isn't as simple as you think. Yesterday I lost track of Maureen's sister while Mala's mom pressed me to bring Maureen's sister before her. I spoke to Maureen and Fabian. But they blamed me and told me to replace Mauren if Mala really sued her. I'm really scared, Mala herself said if I can't bring Maureen's sister in front of her, I'll have to replace her."

Once again, the thin light spilled from my eyelids.

"You don't have to be afraid while you're in the right position. Nor will I remain silent if you are hurt" Gibran said. I just realized that my hand was in his grasp.
