Papa for My Baby

19. Take Motor

When Hisham entered the room there seemed to be something different about his room. He looked around his room. He did not see Mita and Azam's usual belongings in his room. Hisham opened his closet, he did not see Mita's clothes in the closet. Hisham breathed. Mita must be mad at him.

Hisham came out of his room and walked to the room next to his. He opened the door to the room but it turned out that the door was locked from inside.

Hisham knocked on the door.

“Mit, open the door!” hisham said, but there was no answer from the room.

“Mit, open Mit!” hisham said patiently.

Mbok Narti and Bi Ijah watched from the kitchen. They felt something was going on between Mita and Hisham. They saw Mita carrying a suitcase from Hisham's room. They dare not say anything.

“Mit, open!” said Hisham again.

Mita opened the room door.

“Why did you move rooms?” ask Hisham patiently.

“We have nothing to do anymore. You do not have to worry, Mita will immediately register for college so that Mita can quickly leave this house,” replied Mita.

Suddenly there was a whining sound of Azam lying on the bed.

“Azam.” Hisham was about to enter the room but was blocked by Mita.

“Not to be nice to Azam! Later he misunderstood,” exclaimed Mita.

Hisham breathed. She knew Mita was very angry with her. He did it all for the happiness of Mita. Hisham finally relented and he went to his room and Mita closed the door.

When Hisham was about to have breakfast Mita did not come out of the room. Hisham had to eat his own breakfast. He then heard Azam's babbling. Hisham was eager to meet Azam and carry him as usual, but Mita would not allow it.

Before leaving for the hospital, Hisham came to Mita's room.

“Mits. Brother leaving, yes!” hisham said at the door.

However, there was no answer from inside Mita's room. He only heard Azam's voice.

“Zam. Papa's leaving, yeah. Assalamualaikum,” says Hisham.

Hisham moved from the front of Mita's room. He walked out of the house. Shortly after, Hisham's car drove out of his house.

After Hisham left Mita came out of her room holding Azam. He entrusted Azam to Bi Ijah because he was about to take a bath.

After finishing the bath he was getting ready to go to look for a college place. He went by using an online motorcycle. Before heading to campus, Mita stopped by her parents' house.

Mita stood in front of her parents' house looking lonely. Both of his parents have not yet returned from the market. He took the door lock from the bag. Fortunately, he kept the keys to his parents' house. He opened the gate lock and entered the yard. He entered through the pavilion door. Mita goes inside the house and picks up the motor key that depends on the lock spot. Then he took his cell phone out of the bag and called his mother.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Mita.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Ms. Emilia.

“Bu, Mita motor carry. Mita needs a vehicle for college,” Mita said.

“You want to go to college?” ask Emilia's mother.

“Iya, Mom. Asked by Bang Hisham. He said to be smart,” Mita answered by lying.

“Alhamdullilah. Yeah, it's okay. Just bring the bike. Nobody is wearing it, really. I will have my own motor,” said Emilia's mother.

“The letters are in the closet in your room,” continued Ms. Emilia.

“Iya, Mom. Assalamualaikum,” said Mita.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Ms. Emilia.

Mita opened the wardrobe and then she opened the closet drawer inside there is a STNK motor and BPKB motor. He took the letters and put them in a bag.

Mita's eyes were fixed under the pile of clothes. He lifted a pile of clothes and his hands fumbled to look for something under his shirt. Something he was looking for was still there. He pulled out from under his shirt, apparently a bank account book.

Since marrying Hisham he almost forgot his savings because Hisham met all his needs. Now he needs that money. Mita opened her savings book nominal savings of fifty million. He collected from the pocket money. As an only child every day he was given a sizable allowance but he set aside a portion of his allowance.

Mita put the book in the bag and then she came out of her room. He walked to the garage and pulled his motorcycle out of the garage. Mita took the helmet and she locked the door of her parents' house and took the motorcycle out of the yard. Then he locked the door of the fence and he left his parents' house.

Mita drove her motorcycle to a private university in Bandung. He went to the registration place and asked for a university brochure. Then he photographed the brochure and sent it to Hisham without writing any words. Shortly afterwards Hisham saw the photo he sent.

Hisham's Brother:

[Again study the brochure first.]

[Where are you going up what?]

Mita did not answer Hiyam's message.

A few minutes later Hisham sent a message to Mita.

[Go home, yeah. Be careful on the road].

Mita only read and did not answer Hisham's message. Then he went home.

When Hisham came home he saw a motorbike parked in the garage. Hisham got out of his car and approached the motorbike.

Whose bike is this? ask Hisham in the heart.

Hisham went into the house. In the middle room there was Bi Ijah who was accompanying Azam.

“Bi, that's whose motor is in the garage?” ask Hisham.

“Motor Non Mita's. He said he had just taken it from his parents' house,” Bi Ijah replied.

“Mita to where?” ask Hisham.

“There is in the kitchen making porridge for Den Azam,” replied Bi Ijah.

Hisham walks into the kitchen to find Mita.

“Mita, is that your motor?” ask Hisham.

“Iya,” replied Mita without looking to Hisham.

“Abang will forbid you to ride a motorbike. But why are you still so determined?” Hisham.

“Mita needs a vehicle for campus,” replied Mita while filtering the slurry.

“You can take a taxi online,” said Hisham.

“Old online taxi ride. Later Mita bad luck,” Mita replied.

“Already, Brother don't have to set up Mita anymore!” said Mita.

Mita came out of the kitchen into the living room, she did not care about Hisham. Hisham could only sigh at Mita's words.
