My madam, my poison

All-tough

Still at the foundation.

"How, Sir? Do you agree with those terms?" ask officer.

"I think I should think again. I think the wage I have to give to nurses is too great."

"So?"

"I'm sorry, I canceled using the services of nurses through this foundation," Fabian said as he handed the empty form to the officer.

"It's a waste of time" the officer grumbled.

Fabian left the place.

Arriving at home.

"Say Mas wants to go to the foundation to find a nurse for the mother" said Karmila.

"I was there just now."

"Lantas, where's the guy who wants to take care of mom? I brought her here, didn't I?" 

Fabian shook his head.

"Loh, how the hell is Mas? He said find a nurse. Then what's going on there?"

"The money we have to spend on nurses is quite large. Do you want your monthly rations cut so big?"

The mood was silent for a moment.

"So, what about mom? I can no longer take care of my mother. Look at my growing belly. It's hard to do anything. Still to be added caring for a fussy mother."

"The only way is for us to send mom to a nursing home" Fabian said.

"Mas sure? What about our neighbor who's pretentious to interfere with someone else's problem?"

"We just tell them that mom's taken care of my other brother."

"yes too. The nursing home will take good care of the mother, free again. So my monthly rations remain intact. When are we gonna get mom there? Faster is better, isn't it?"

"Just next week."

"Why next week? Ineligibility. I'm in a stress hunt. Do you want our baby to do something because his mom's stressed?"

"Ehm. Mila, …"

"Why, Mas?"

"Tomorrow I have to be out of town for two days on office duty."

"Well?!"

"Two days. Not for a week."

"Did Mas also often be assigned to out of town?" asked Mila half in disbelief.

"You have to understand. The higher my position in the office, the greater my duties and responsibilities will be" Fabian said. He then sipped the coffee that still reflected the smoke.

"Mas is alone, right? Not Silvia?" asked Mila who suddenly made Fabian confused until he choked and almost dropped the cup.

"Be careful, Mom. The coffee's still hot."

"I'm-I'm alone."

"Wear a private car?"

"Ehm, no. Accompanied by the driver in the office car."

"Oh, I think it's the same Silvia."

"No, my dear. How could I go with him?"

"Ehm... Mas assigned out of town can not extra bonus?" 

Fabian pulled out his phone and showed a message with a notification of some money coming into his account with Mila. The money came from Silvia.

"Big as well, Mom. If that's okay, I'm often out of town. I'll use this money for treatments to the salon and buy baby supplies."

"Not the baby equipment that you have bought quite a lot? Why buy again?"

"The baby I bought was partially. There's less."

"You don't have to buy things that are too expensive. After all, those things were only worn for a while."

"This is our first child, Mas. Zura, buy nothing at the market."

"But he was good at frugality and never spent the money I gave him on things that weren't so necessary."

"That's it. I'm lazy that Mas's already started to say that name." Suddenly Karmila's face turned irritated.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Don't pout that. What if our son has Judes' face?" said Fabian while rubbing Mila's stomach that increasingly bulging.

"I help you pack clothes, yes" said Mila. Fabian nodded in agreement.

Both of them had just moved from the dining room, suddenly there was the sound of objects falling from the mother's room.

"Look at Mas. Yesterday mom broke the glass, now broke the plate. For a long time the furniture in our house is exhausted" said Mila while pointing her index finger towards the broken plates scattered on the floor.

"Mommy hasn't had lunch yet? The plate is still full" Fabian said.

"Mother is eating picky, Mas. If it's not good, don't eat."

"Why is Mom so fussy? It's worth it Mila often complains," Fabian said as he picked up the broken plate and put it in the trash.

"Myan, …"

"What's wrong?" 

"Mother ti-ti-doesn't want to go to pan-ti jom-po," the mother explained.

"Bian apologize, Mom. It's not that I don't want to take care of Mom anymore. But I know for myself, Mila is pregnant. She is soon giving birth. He'll be very troubled. I also went to the foundation to find a nurse. But it turned out that the wages I had to spend were so great. I'm afraid my salary won't be enough if I have to increase the expenses to pay the nurse's salary. Don't worry, we'll visit Mom often" Fabian said.

The mother could not say anything. Of course the sentence that was thrown from his biological son sounded so painful. Fabian, who was raised with love and affection, now dumps him when his mother's age begins to twilight.

"Mothers want-ting-gal-deng-an-Zu-ra."

"Zura again. Zura again. Zura now lives in a cramped boarding house with her mother. There is no way that you can stay there too" said Mila.

"Mila's right, Mom. Maybe the right place for Mom is a nursing home. There you will definitely get good treatment" Fabian said.

"Ka-mu-te-ga," said the mother along with her sudden burst of tears.

"Mom wants to do anything Bian, Bian will accept. The current situation is confusing. I hope you understand."

"A-boy-dur-..."

"Yes. Bian is a bad boy. Is that what you want to say?" cut Fabian.

"Already, Mas. Now we trim the clothes. We have to leave early tomorrow, right?" said Mila while holding Fabian's hand.

"Tomorrow I'm out of town. Don't pray for me who's bad" Fabian said. He also left the room.

"Zura, hu.hu…"

"Continue calling that name. Maybe he suddenly appeared in front of me."

Karmila closed the door and followed Fabian who had first entered the room.

Next morning.

"Well, isn't breakfast first?" tanya Karmila who just finished serving food on the table. He found Fabian well-dressed with his tie and suit.

"It's almost seven o'clock. The journey out of town is quite far. I'm afraid I'm late to the seminar building" Fabian said, wearing his shoes.

"Just bring the supplies. Let me get ready. I can eat in the car."

"I drove. Where can I eat."

"Well, didn't Mas say last night that he left with a driver in an office car?"

"Ehm, I mean later I'll have the driver find a place to eat."

"Oh, so."

"I'm leaving first, all right at home."

"Mas don't fuck around out there."

"Calm down, you're the only girl I love. Assalamu'alaikum."

Fabian left his home.

"Sorry, I'm a little late" Fabian told Silvia, who had arrived at the cafe. Silvia deliberately invites him to leave the cafe so as not to arouse suspicion of office employees.

"No. I just arrived too."

"We'll just use my car. Your car was just dropped off here. The cafe is open 24 hours. I'll pay the deposit fee" Silvia said. Fabian nodded in understanding.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" ask Silvia.

"Yet. I'm hustling. Afraid of being late."

"Yes, we go to the cafe first. I also did not have time for breakfast" said Silvia.

Both of them went into the cafe.

They did not realize that a pair of eyes had been watching from a distance.
