Not a Common Widow (Status Only)

It's Hard to Believe

"Honestly, I don't understand everything that's going on? Why is Mama still alive, didn't I see Mama dead?" lirih Fira while cutting the meat steak in front of her.

Reyhan only silently watched the two women of different ages. While Doni was busy feeding Felix because the sweet boy with round eyes did not want to be separated from Doni.

"When the heart monitor goes off, your mother is no longer breathing. At that time we will be told to go out by the Doctor, and the Doctor is trying to do the action by using a pacemaker. The result as you can see, now your mother is alive." Replied Doni in between hands busy feeding.

"And Mama told the Doctor to manipulate Mama's death. The man you buried was not Mama's body, but just a doll." Sofi chews on spaghetti.

"Why did Mama do that?" Fira stopped the movement of her hand and looked seriously at Sofi's eyes.

"This was all out of Doni's idea. We just want to make you a tough, strong, and definitely one of the ways we protect you."

Fira shook her head. "It's hard to understand. What does it have to do with manipulating Mama's death by protecting me? it doesn't make sense!" Fira did not think the two even lied to him. He himself does not understand why Sofi's death must be manipulated.

"If your mama still exists, there you spoiled Syafira! And you will be difficult to persuade to deepen your knowledge by reason of tired, tired lah, hot lah. That's why we planned this so you could focus on everything. The proof is now that you're a successful tough woman." Doni explains his reasoning solely for the good of Syafira himself.

"Yes too, I admit that your efforts have made me a tough woman. Even so tough, I became immune to people's scorn." Fira chuckles to herself remembering others call herself a cheap poor widow.

"Your looks have changed too, Ra. Your nose used to wear no piercing, now you're wearing it like an ear." Sofi insinuated Fira's different appearance.

"Hehehe, 'the present Syafira is not the old Shafira" he replied with a cry.

"You are now much prettier, more mature, smarter, tougher, and definitely more glowing. My niece will be smitten by your charm." Chirps Sofi quipped the delicate handsome maco man who was in front of her.

Reyhan felt insinuated, he bowed his face and smiled faintly. "Syafira is too enchanting." He murmured, but could still be heard by them.

Doni and Sofi were already chuckling at Reyhan's behavior. Fira himself cuek duck eating his dishes. The beautiful-looking girl was very difficult to guess, only she and God knew what she was like.

"Reyhan, you must know who I am. I hope you hid our meeting to your family especially your Grandma!" sofi said seriously.

Reyhan looked up, he furrowed his brows. "Why should it be like that?" ask Rey confused.

"There comes a time when I must present myself before all of you. Now is not a good time to show up in your family. I hope you're able to keep our meeting a secret!" Sofi looked at Reyhan full of warning.

Reyhan was breathing. "If it's for the best, I'll do it for aunt." Reyhan is convinced that his aunt is not ready to meet her family. Rey herself knows the story of Sofi. She would not force her aunt to see her family. Let time bring Sofi to her family, that's what Rey thought.

Reyhan POV

Bruukkk

After I got home, I threw my body on the bed

and I stared at the ceiling of the room while my right hand slid down my head. I didn't think the person I met was my aunt, the aunt we thought was gone. When I saw her I recognized her immediately, her face was very similar to that of grandma. And to my surprise again, it turns out that Syafira knew him even, he called my aunt mama, really God's destiny no one knows.

I'm confused now what to do? and my aunt said that I should hide our meeting to my family. And I was also confused as to whether I would continue my plan to marry Syafira, or if it would not happen because we are brothers.

Then I turned my body back to my stomach and closed my eyes for a moment, so that when I woke up I could think about how the next way.

Apartments

After Mama Sofi told us everything, we were already in the apartment that Doni had prepared for us.

"Well, honestly, I still don't believe any of this. I have to lose my kaka, I have to know the fact that I am not Mom's biological child, even it turns out Mama is still alive, too" said Fira who sat down with her fist propped up on Sofi's shoulder.

"Believe in disbelief, everything does happen, Ra," Sofi replied holding Syafira's hand.

"Sole, Oma, Mother." Felix's new cry came with Doni, and then he sat on Fira's lap.

"Sore, also Oma's favorite, where's it going?" sofi rubbed Felix's head.

"I finished belmain, the game was as if Oma, and banyaaakkk," Felix said happily. "There I play sloshing, ball bath, I also swim, right, Uncle om?" felix.

"Yes, and do you know? he didn't want me to take him home, I had to persuade him" said Doni.

"I'll****** belmain to Uncle om's play, so I'm satisfied with the play" said Felix.

"There's still Uncle om here, you just invite him to play!" chirp Fira with a careless smile.

Doni glared his eyes, "A day with him alone has made my head dizzy, especially if for days, added puyeng."

"May, Mother?" ask Felix to make sure.

"Ti's.." Before Doni continued his words, Sofi quickly cut in.

"May, you can take Uncle om wherever you want!"

Doni glares at Sofi, but Sofi is only indifferent not responding.

"Hole.asyikk I'll play again tomorrow. I'll swim again. Later I will invite Uti, Kakung, Grandpa, Grandma the same om Fadil, bial added selu. I'll also take Ley's father, Aunty Amel, Opa Alman, Oma Dinda," Pelix screeched, leaping from Fira's lap and prancing happily.

Doni leaned his back roughly, the squinty-eyed sweet man would definitely return the hassles if he accompanied Felix to play.

"Enin Saras was not invited?" asked Fira to know her son's answer.

"No! He's evil like Mother," Felix refused to cross his hands like the letter x while singing his tiny lips.
