Storytelling With Mama
πππππ
γ
Oh my. I remember. This worried eye expression. I remember, yeah I remember who it looked like?
The way these eyes look at me is very similar to the way their eyes look at me
But..do they look alike?
Ah, it's very similar, exactly.
The coincidence?
Emmm, definitely yes, definitely a coincidence. Yeah.just so.
γ
Nia was busy looking at Mama seriously, her brain had finished studying and now she could come to a conclusion. That this middle-aged woman sitting in front of him was indeed similar to someone, someone who now meant a lot in his life. Nia persisted with that belief. Until a moment later, his little heart successfully broke what he believed. Her little heart was busy instigating Nia with words just by chance. Be Nia doubted her own brain analysis results earlier.
γ
"Is there something wrong with my mom's face?" Getting a serious look from Nia's brown eyes, Mama also canceled her intention to continue the next bribe.
γ
"Bu-not Ma, it's just that I hesitated a little Ma. It seems like Mama is indeed similar to someone who is very important in my life". Nia admitted her own doubts.
γ
"Come on, Mama said forget it". Mama pointed at the contents of Nia's serving plate that had not been touched at all.
γ
"So, how's Syria, did you get what you were looking for back then?" Mama repeated her question. Looks like Mama is still curious about Nia's special gift story at that time.
γ
"Oh.sorry Ma". Nia tried to act ordinary to cover up her shock. My mom remembers yes. "There's Ma, even more than I planned". Nia smiled considering the funny taxido stelan that she had found at that time.Β My handsome darling hasn't seen him.
γ
"Gee.he must be very happy huh". Mama smiled looking at the happy twinkle in Nia's eyes as she answered her question.Β It seems like someone who is very special, just by telling the person alone can make his eyes shine happy.
γ
"Of course I am". Reply Nia sure.
γ
"Cost certainly? You haven't given me?" Mama stopped the activity of bribing the food menu that felt unique in her tongue.
γ
"Before Ma, it just so happened that the day I was planning to deliver that special gift, aunt had an accident". Nia's voice changed slowly.
γ
"No problem, there's still tomorrow-tomorrow". Mom tried to comfort Nia. Nia just nodded softly in response to Mama's statement.
γ
"Your name is Shania Fira Sujokokan son?" Seeing Nia start chewing on her submarine pempek, Mama continued her bribe which was delayed.
γ
"Yes Ma, right". Answer Nia quickly.
γ
"What is the Syrian habit of calling, Mama's little name".
γ
"Nia, Mom". Degs....Mama looked towards Nia. The beautiful girl who had just mentioned her little name was Nia was smiling at him.
γ
"Nia yeah". Mama is thinking. "Niaaaa". Mama's birthday is slow.
γ
"True Ma, Nia. But there was a time when Grandma was still there. When she was angry with me, grandma liked to call Fira. Heheh". Nia put her face in her hands. On his right hand.
γ
"Looks like you're so in your grandmother's love, huh?" Mama raised the glass containing fresh juice and sipped its contents through the straws available.
γ
γ
"Yes, my grandmother is right. Look now, Nia has succeeded. Mama was fooled". Mom smiled funny. "Remember the first time we met, Mama thought you were a model. Uh, it turns out Mama was wrong, a woman as beautiful as you actually worked as a researcher. You're great Nia, as far as Mama knows it's not easy to plunge into the world of the researcher". Mama patted slowly on the back of Nia's right hand.
γ
"Mama is too much". Nia's a little embarrassed. "I'm mediocre Ma. Precisely a great Mama, I feel the aura of Mama is very strong. Mama must be a great woman". She praised Mama.
γ
Mama still smiled as she looked at Nia. "After your grandmother's death, who are you?" Mom continued eating.
γ
"I moved Ma, from our old house. I sold the house, lived in a simple contract and got a job in a private company as part of the administration". Nia reminisces about her lonely time after grandmother's death.
γ
"You're great, son, very independent". Praise Mama to Nia. "Trus why survive alone in Jakarta, why not come here directly?
γ
"That's.", Nia hesitated a little. "That's because there's someone I love there Ma". Suddenly Nia felt no taste for her food.
γ
"Special man?" Mama was unaware of Nia's change of heart.
γ
"First". That was all Nia could say.
γ
Now means single dong. Bagusss, you're the same Mama's son, baby.
γ
"Why, what happened?" Mama is so excited.
γ
"His mother, Ma". Nia deliberately threw away her face, staring at the other side of the cafeteria room. "Her mother kicked me out".
γ
"God". Mama was very surprised.
γ
"The man had an accident Ma while climbing one of the mountains in Bandung. His mother was angry and blamed me for all the misfortune". Nia still couldn't look at Mama.
γ
"Is she at that location?" Mama still doesn't understand.
γ
"No Ma, I'm home". Nia nodded slowly. "But from the beginning his mother didn't like me. They thought I was not equal to their families. The family brand is rich Ma, well-respected. I am an orphan. Until the disaster happened, Edo fell abysmal. His condition is critical, his mother thinks the disaster happened because of me...". Nia took a deep breath. His lips twitched a little. Repeating the story in the past really made his heart hurt.
γ
"His mother says I'm the unlucky carrier Ma, I'm the unlucky bearer to father, mother, grandmother even to Edo, their son". Nia bowed lethargic. Mama, Mama spontaneously covered her mouth with both hands.
γ
Mama did not stop thinking, this beautiful girl who was so kind and polite turned out to be able to accept insults in such a way, and it came from a mother. Worse, it was the mother of the man she loved.Β How is it that there is such a cruel mother? Seeing treasure as the measure of the human spirit, heh. Who is he? God alone is not as beautiful as his creation. So outrageous. Plus how can he get that much, calling Nia a bad-ass carrier for his son. The death of Nia's parents and grandmother. It's so outrageous, it just makes me emotional.
γ
"Nia, Niaaaa.see Mom. Look at Mama son!" Nia forced herself to look at Mama's shady face. "Look good, yeah, they're the bad guys. They comfort themselves by blaming you. You're a diamond baby, you're so gorgeous sparkling, you're soft and well mannered. So". Mom smiled at Nia. "Come for those who let diamonds out of their hands". Mama is trying to make Nia confident in what she says.
γ
γ
Mama's words were just like her series of words back then. Mama really looks like him."Thank you Ma, thank you". Nia holds Mama's hand. It felt very calm to hear the melodious voice of Mama who gave her spirit.
γ
Whoever the mother of the man in your past son, Mama will not take a headache. Good thing, that stupid woman let you go. So then....Mama can bring you closer to your only child Mama. You'll be Mama's daughter-in-law. Nia, Mama wants you to be Mama's daughter-in-law.
The smile of victory was clearly on Mama's lips.
