Not a Common Widow (Status Only)

Face Everything

"Sir?!...Grandpa?!..." Nicho was surprised to glare perfectly.

"I want to go home now!" said Sofi lowered her head not daring to look at Kakanya.

Arman was astonished, inwardly asking about his sister's attitude. "What's wrong with Sofi? why does he look scared?"

"Thank you, Nicho. You saved my brother from Mahendra's plan." Arman can still appreciate Nicho and thank him despite the many questions he wants to ask.

Nicho was sculpting, his mind still could not digest what Arman just said. My brother and sister were spinning around in their head.

"So he's your brother, Arman?" Mama Karin asked because she was too excited to know the woman to be married Nicho is the sister of his own son's best friend.

"Yes, Mam. He's my only brother Sofi."

Bruukk.... Nicho staggered backwards leaning his body towards the door. "So she's Arman's sister, the woman I've been looking for and I ruined her future is Arman's sister! Why am I so stupid I can't find him?" inner Nicho.

Arman scrunched his forehead. "You why? are you sick?" ask Arman to Nicho.

Nicho did not answer but looked down in confusion.

Mami Karin looked compassionately at her son, she understood that Nicho was surprised and confused as to what to say. "Arman, we have something to tell you. Since it's early in the morning, we'll deliver it in front of your family."

"Well, what is that?"

"You'll know later."

"I want to go home." Pinta Sofi to Kakanya.

"We're going home now. Mom, thank you for helping my sister. We have to get home soon because there are things we have to take care of as well." Arman said goodbye to Karin.

"Oh, that's it. Yes, I let you go home and be careful on the way." Seeing Sofi fear makes Karin allow them to go home.

Arman and Sofi say goodbye. Sofi reluctantly greets Nicho when Arman tells Nicho and he tightly holds Kaka's hand.

"Nic, I'm saying goodbye."

Nicho just nodded without answering. After the departure of the two, Nicho sat languidly near the entrance. "Arman would be furious if he knew I was the culprit, Mam."

Arman once told me about the events that his sister experienced.

"Tomorrow we go to Arman's house to explain everything. You have to take responsibility for what you have done! You're up against everything, Nic!" advice from Mami Karin.

While there was still time to rest, everyone slept for a moment to clear their minds.

"Felix, Mommy hope you're not traumatized by what happened." Fira rubbed the head of his son who had fallen asleep first due to fatigue.

Rey looked at the woman beside her. "I'm sure Felix won't be traumatized. I saw he'd be a brave man without fear."

"Hopefully, Mas. I'm tired, I'm gonna take a break."

And they fell asleep because they were exhausted.

All the families had gathered in the luxurious apartment belonging to Syafira. The Dika Family and the Arman Family joined together to discuss what happened last night.

"So, you can't be saved?" Arman was shocked and saddened when Reyhan told him everything and one of the victims of the blast was Saras.

"I'm sorry, Pah. I don't remember Grandma being inside, and I just remembered after the explosion." Syafira felt guilty because she did not remember Saras there.

"Fira still mending not eliminate anyone while I, I kill Kaka myself." Timpal Dika pensively focused his elbow on the thigh and covered his face using the palm of his hand.

Dita who was beside her husband rubbed Dika's back, she herself was also saddened by what happened.

"That's the end of them. God has punished them in such a tragic way. Those who make plans and those who are stuck in their own plans. Good people will always be protected wherever we are even in precarious circumstances. Their story teaches us not to uphold possessions, thrones, and selfishness. Selfishness and greedy possessions will only mislead and slowly destroy ourselves."

Felix, the 4-year-old little kriwil-haired boy, said a remarkable sentence. The words that Felix uttered made the adults gawk so amazed at his thoughts.

"Wooos, fantastic! That's very wise." Amel was really amazed.

"Eeehhhh, wait a minute." Felix realized something, he immediately stood up to his Mother. "Mother, I said R, right?! Horeeee. Mother, I can. R R horeee, I can, I can." Felix prancing around his body so happy to mention the breath of R because all this time Felix still lisp R.

Everyone smiled at Felix, so anxious that Rey caught Felix's body and lifted him up and tickled his stomach with his face.

"Father's son is funny, anyway."

"Hahaha Daddy's ticklish...Hahaha Aampuun's father!" Felix laughed without a burden.

Their activities stopped when there was a call to Arman's mobile phone. Rey took Felix down and immediately grabbed him sitting on his lap.

"Hello, Arman. We're in front of your house said your security is not at home."

"We were in our son's apartment. You guys just come here!"

"Okay, then we're there now."

"Who, Pah?" ask Dinda.

"Mami Karin."

Sofi became agitated, she squeezed her fingers so scared and nervous. Syafira and Felix could see the unease on Sofi's face. Fira immediately stood up and crouched down in front of Sofi. Everyone was astonished to see Fira like that.

Fira holds her Mama's cold hand. "Well, you have to face everything, throw away that fear and see, there's Rio and Felix in your life. Don't regret something that God has outlined for you. Me and them are with Mama."

"What's this about? what are you hiding from me?" Arman was confused and did not understand.

Ting-tong bell rang, Fira immediately stood up to open the door of her apartment and immediately smiled kindly. "Please come in Aunty, Om."

"Thank you, son." Karin was flattered by Fira's courtesy.

They entered and sat down before Arman after Fira decided to sit down. "It's a lot of people here, like it's a big family. Mumpung Dika also you as a witness yes, Dik!"

"Witness what?" ask Dika.

"Witness that we're here to propose to her sister Arman to be Nicho's wife." Karin immediately spoke of her intentions.

"What?! wait up! It's not that Nicho won't get married until he meets the woman who...." Arman hung up his words, immediately he remembered that Fira had mentioned Rio's father's name. Surprised not to play, he realized that the name was Nicho his best friend. "Is it possible Nicholas Saputra?!" arman said full of questions and emphasis.

Nicho and the others don't understand what Arman is saying.

"You Nicholas Saputra, did you also destroy my brother?" Arman's jaw hardened, his hands clenched to beat if it was true.

The deg...!

Everyone was stunned but not with Fira and Felix.

Seriate...
