My madam, my poison

The POV Author (Pamrih)

(POV Author)

Fabian and Mila arrived home. Both were stunned to find the condition of the house that was almost burned out by the explosion of gas cylinders earlier this evening. The house can no longer be occupied.

"Patience to you, Mom. People have been trying to contact the fire engines. However, whether constrained by what, the car just arrived at this place an hour later when the fire has engulfed almost all parts of the house," said Mr. Hasan.

Fabian dropped his knee on the ground. His joints really felt weak. The house that he bought from his labors for years of work, was destroyed in just a matter of minutes because of his negligence.

"Everything is over" he said. A few seconds later, her crying broke.

"Just try it, Mas. Most importantly Mas and Kinanti's mother survived" said Mr. Hasan again.

"Mr just talk that way. Try the Father in my position. Would you just shut up to see your house burn like this!"

"That's not what I mean, Mom. God has many ways of showing His love to us. One of them by giving a disaster," said Mr. Hasan.

"Already, Sir. Don't make my head any more dizzy with Mr."

Mr. Hasan shook his head in wonder.

"Yes already, Mas. Excuse me first" he said as he passed in front of Fabian and Karmila.

"How's this? I have no place to live now. To renovate it would require a lot of money" Fabian said shortly after Mr. Hasan passed.

"You don't have to be rich with difficult people! You can stay in my house. The house is the one who bought it" said Mila.

"But, what about mom, Zura, Lyra?"

"Mom can stay in my house. But not with Zura and your son."

"Right now Zura is sick. Lyra is too small to face the rigors of life out there."

"Mas think I care? From the beginning Zura never liked me. We'll never get along if we stay close."

"I beg you, Mila. Let Zura and Lyra stay with us" Fabian said.

Mila seemed to think for a moment.

"OK! I may have your wife and child stay in my house, but on one condition."

"Condition?"

"Mas should never sleep in Zura's bedroom. And all of my paychecks are mine!"

"Zura is still my sahku's wife. I'm also obliged to give him a born and inner living."

"Whatever! If Mas objected to my terms, I would not allow Zura to stay in my house!" threaten Mila's.

"All right, I'll follow what you want."

Not long ago, Pure Mom approached the two. Lyra looked comfortable in her arms.

"Sorry, Mas. Today I have to go out of town with my husband. I can't take Lyra with me" he said.

"It's okay, Mom. I just have to thank you for taking care of my daughter while we were in the hospital" Fabian said. He then took over Lyra from Pure Bu's sling.

Suddenly his eyes fell on Mila. 

"Well, Melly's mom coming home too? I think Melly's mom waited for Zura and Kinanti's mom in the hospital."

"Ehm ti-ti-no, ma'am. Zura's mom asked me to help Fabian take care of Lyra."

Fabian and Mila sat at each other before answering the question.

"Ehm, for a while me and my family will be staying at the Mil-Eh boarding house, I mean Melly," Fabian replied.

"I'm sorry about this disaster. May Allah be quick to give the best way out for Mas Fabian and his family" said Bu Murni.

"Aamiin, thank you, ma'am."

"I'll excuse you, Mom. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Getishalight."

"We're going to my house now" Mila said.

They got into Fabian's car.

*****

Some residents living in the residential neighborhood were curious about the sound of baby cries coming from Mila's house. They finally decided to go to the house.

"Excuse me, Ma'am. Sorry if we were sassy. We heard the sound of baby crying from this house. Is there really a baby?" 

"I-i-iya, Mom. This baby's name is Lyra. She's my sister's daughter."

"Where is his mother?"

"His mother was again in the hospital, and it just so happened that their house had just been hit by a fire."

"Mila's mom is very nice. Want to put them here."

"Brothers should help each other, right, ma'am?"

"Yes, I'll excuse you."

"So the neighbors like to take care of people's business!" Mila Ompat.

"You seem very upset" said Fabian.

"Who is not upset with a neighbor who always wants to know the affairs of others?"

"That's what the neighbors call it."

"Oh yeah, where's Lyra? How come you don't cry anymore?"

"She just went to sleep after she was full of milk."

"Dar!" Suddenly Mila smothered her mouth.

"Why you?" ask Fabian.
