My madam, my poison

Salute

"Lyra's mother!" call the boy sitting on the couch.

Ah, it turns out that the three people are Haikal with his nanny and his personal driver.

"Haikal, you look like, son."

"At school, Haikal forced me and Idris to find Lyra's house" said bi Tini, the nanny.

"I'm sorry for Lyra" Haikal said.

"Lyra's sorry Haikal hasn't?" I asked Lyra. The little girl nodded her head.

"It's good that way. But you have to promise not to repeat it again yes," I said.

The boy nodded in understanding.

"Oh yeah, Bi Ami is cooking?" I asked my house assistant.

"Already, Mom. Today's aunt cook chicken soup and fried shrimp non Lyra's favorite flour."

"Haikal, Auntie and Mr. Idris are having lunch here, yes" I said.

"Ehm .. No need, ma'am. I don't want to bother."

"I don't feel bothered. Sometimes we eat together is okay?"

"Yes, Bi. Lunch at Lyra's house, my stomach is hungry" whined Haikal.

"But, …"

"Come, Bi."

Haikal took bi Tini's hand and took her to the dining room.

"Now we go home yuk, Mas," said bi Tini after lunch is over.

"I'm still playing with Lyra."

"It's almost one o'clock, it's time for Mas Haikal to take a nap."

"I'm not sleepy. Lyra, we draw yuk."

Lyra nodded her head. The two left the dining room and entered Lyra's room.

I don't know how many times bi Tini persuaded Haikal to go home, but the boy always refused.

"If Haikal doesn't want to go home yet, let him stay here first. Maybe he still wants to play with Lyra" I said.

"True, Bi Tini and Mr. Idris are fine to go home. There must be work to do, right? Later let me take a taxi," said the mother.

Bi Tini and Idris were seen chatting for a while before finally deciding to go home first and leave Haikal at my house.

"Haikal's mom doesn't like being forced the most. Instead of him tantrum, I better let him here first" said bi Tini.

"Please watch them both play yes" I told my mother.

"Where else are you going?"

"Me and Mr. Amin will deliver Mr. Willy's order."

"Sir Willy? Hasn't he long since severed the cooperative relationship with our convection?"

"A few hours ago he called me and said he wanted to be a customer of our convection."

"What Mom said. One day he'll realize that your convection is better than the others."

"It is God who has moved his heart" I said.

Not long after Mr. Amin appeared.

"We're leaving, Mom?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, Sir. Let's go to the production room."

"Which way is your mom going?" ask Mr. Idris.

"Street free."

"Our residence around the merdeka street."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes, Mom. In Gladiool's housing."

After saying goodbye to my mother, we left the living room.

Amin and I arrived home ahead of the Maghrib. When I got out of the car, a silver car entered my yard. Not long after the door opened. Looks like a man who is a few years old above me.

"Excuse me, is this really Azzura's house?" tanyakanya.

"Right, sir, I'm Azzura. Whose father and what need?"

"I'm Herdi. I came to this house to pick up my son, Haikal."

"Oh, Haikal's father turned out. When I left the house, Haikal was still playing with my daughter. Bi Tini had persuaded him many times to go home, but Haikal always refused. He said he still wanted to play. Come on in, sir," I said.

The tall man followed me into the living room.

"Where is it, Mom?" ask my mother.

"Haikal fell asleep in Lyra's room. I couldn't wake her up" she replied.

Suddenly the view of the mother was fixed by Mr. Herdian who was now in the living room.

"Who is that guy? Your new boyfriend?" I asked her half whispered.

"Mother don't worry, he's Herdian, Haikal's father."

"Oh, sorry I guess, …"

I also took Mr. Herdian to Lyra's room. I smiled to find the two boys asleep on the bed. Drawing books and colored pencils were scattered there.

Haikal was not disturbed even though Mr. Herdi began to lift his body and carry it.

"Ehm .. Sir. Can we talk for a second?"

The man nodded his head. We left Lyra's room and walked to the living room.

"So Haikal told me that he always felt lonely in his house because everyone was busy with his work. The reason Haikal misbehaved his schoolmates was just to get attention. So, I hope you can occasionally take your time for him," he explained.

Mr. Herdian took a breath.

"Maybe all this time I was too busy with my own business that I did not care about it," said Mr. Herdian while gently rubbing the hair of the only child of his puppet.

"I heard that Haikal also snatched his classmate's stock. After I asked, he replied if he was jealous to see the contents of the box of his friends' good and varied supplies."

"Well how else? Bi Tini does not understand in presenting supplies for children the age of Haikal."

I'm reviewing the smile.

"So I made a deal with Haikal."

"A pact?"

"Yes. I want to make provisions for him as long as he does not misbehave again on my daughter or on other friends."

"I salute Mrs Zura. Haikal is neither a sister nor a relative of Mother. But I care about her so much."

"I just do small things, Haikal just needs a little attention and affection" I said.

"If my ex-wife could care more about Haikal, maybe we're still together now."

"What do you mean by Father?"

Mr. Herdian smiled bitterly.

"Despite being married and having children, my ex-wife is so unruly. He was always busy with his friends. One day I found him alone with a man in the park. When I asked him which one he chose, he preferred that man. Sorry, Madam. I'm venting like this."

"It's okay, sir."

"Yes, I'll excuse you. Thank you for opening my mind if attention and affection are important for children who are still in the learning process. I promise, from now on I will pay more attention to Haikal."

Mr. Herdian then left the living room and then headed to his car in the yard. The man threw his smile at me just before driving his car and leaving my yard.
