I certainly can not answer the words of Mr. Haris, so all I can do is nod my head.
"True, mama just eat first, said Mbah mama's daughter has not eaten from yesterday," said Alena, Mbah princess is a call Alena for Husna's mother.
"Yes yes, mama will now, eat a lot," I replied to Alena, complete with a face that I made enthusiastic. In front of Alena I'm willing to be a clown so that the little girl will always laugh.
And look, now he smiles at my behavior. Seeing Alena's smile that's all I've been relieved and happy.
After that I turned around and passed Haris with a slightly lowered head. The day and even the night had passed, but the awkwardness was still faithful to accompany me every time I met her father Alena.
Out of Alena's room, I looked around first. Still amazed by the luxury in this VIP room. I saw a room I had never been to, maybe there was the kitchen and the dining table.
"Anin, here quickly sit down," said the mother who had been waiting for my arrival. He even pulled a chair allowing me to sit down.
"A lot of food, ma'am, where's this coming from?" ask me astonished. I had not even sat down, still staring in amazement at all the food on the table, there were vegetables, meat, fish and even seafood.
All this time where you've eaten this much, the last I remember me and mom eating using fried tempeh. The tempe is fried salty once, so it can be used for side dishes.
The more here our money has been exhausted, the house has also been pawned. That's why I got to meet Mr. Haris because there is nothing else that can be used as a handle.
"Mother also does not know Nin, when I finished bathing all these foods have been presented. What is certain is that Mr. Haris prepared all this," replied the mother, she then pushed my shoulder down until I finally sat on the chair.
"Eat a lot, let your body fresh and take good care of Alena. Now that Alena is healthy, you also have to be strong" said the mother at length.
"Yes Mom," I replied, I just kept quiet to see the mother who put a lot of rice in my plate, then the side dishes were not less.
It's more like the portion of a building porters' meal.
"Read the prayer first," said the mother again and I immediately read the prayer in my heart, grateful I was still given the pleasure to eat as good as this.
Mom pulled up her chair and sat down beside me, she looked at me who was eating. "Mom not eating?" tanyaku.
"Mother was already eating, now it still feels very full" she replied with a smiling lip.
"Sir Haris is good, Nin, I think he is evil like the rich people in the soap opera indosiram," said the mother again, she spoke continuously.
"So Mr. Haris talked to mom, he asked mom not to be awkward with him. She said she would respect her mother as Alena's grandmother" said the mother, still talking with her smiley lips.
It made me smile too, but I couldn't respond much because even now my mouth was full of food.
All this is so good.
It took me a long time to finish all the food on that plate.
"Here, let the mother do the dishes" said the mother, she also immediately took the dirty dishes of mine.
I couldn't refuse because I was drinking.
Finished washing my dishes Mother returned to her chair, but she had not had time to sit down suddenly Mr. Haris came there.
"Tante, can you please accompany Alena for a moment. He's asleep and I want to talk to Anindya" said Mr. Haris.
Because I'm nervous about having my drinking glass.
"Okay sir" Mother replied, she also pushed her chair in before leaving the kitchen.
While Mr. Haris came in and chose to sit in front of me. I only dared to lower my gaze, staring at the vegetable temoat from the neatly closed ceramics. Ceramic bowl with a very beautiful red rose accent.
"I don't know where to start talking to you" said Mr. Haris.
My heart was growing, very scared. It's more horrible than when I was wrong in working on the report.
"Sorry sir, this is all my fault. Everything is happening out of my control" I replied in a trembling voice. I'm sure Mr. Haris can clearly see the fear I'm currently feeling.
No reply from Mr. Haris for a moment. But even so I still did not dare to look at his face.
"Thank you," said Mr. Haris later, two words that made me even more jolted.
What say? Mr Haris to thank you?
"Thank you for struggling to raise Alena even though you and mom are helpless" Haris said.
"Thank you for making Alena a very good, strong and beautiful child" she said again and I burst into tears. I bite my lower lip hard so this cry doesn't break.
I thought I would be blamed, would be scolded and reviled. But apparently not, Mr. Haris just said thank you. A word that seemed to appreciate all the struggles I and my mother had during this time. Appreciated like this alone has made my heart so full, the more powerless to refrain from crying, the more tears flow arbitrarily.
Not only did he get there, Mr. Haris kept talking ...
"Thank you for making Alena not hate me, saying that I work abroad, not saying that I'm dead" Mr. Haris said.
"And the last .. I want to thank you for meeting me" said Mr. Haris, I heard his voice tremble. I don't know what kind of inner struggle Mr. Haris is feeling.
But from all his words, I was able to feel a sense of sincerity.
"I'm sorry, sir, this is all out of my control," I replied again, only able to talk like this, I suddenly stammered when I was in front of him.
Now I am not the old Anindya, who was full of confidence even when facing a big man. Now I am the fragile Anindya, always ashamed and insecure.
"Now that everything has happened Anindya, in fact there is Alena between the two of us," replied Mr. Haris in a voice that sounded soft, it seems like he was too tired.
"When Alena recovers I'll take her away again, sir. I will not show myself anymore, I promise," I replied, trying to convince Mr. Haris that I will not demand anything, I make sure his life will not be disturbed because of me and Alena.
But it seems my mind is not in line with him, because after I talk like that, now suddenly Mr. Haris speaks in a higher tone.
"How can you think like that Anindya? Alena needs the figure of her father and mother, even though we are not together but we can still be parents to Alena," explained Mr. Haris clearly.
"Don't think of leaving again, now I know there's Alena, so I won't let you go" he said in a voice that sounded more pressing.
"Alena will be part of the Pratama family" explained Mr. Haris and like lightning striking my head.
Does this mean Alena's gonna take him away?
