"Nara, are you done?"
"It's aunt." I came out wearing a loose dress under my knees, tidied up my appearance again when mom called and said she was waiting in front of the apartment.
"You be careful on the road, remember not to be too rough. Oh yeah, did you stay at your mom's?"
"Eh no bi, don't I have to go to school tomorrow. And then Adam's gonna pick me up, there's an appointment with his mother to come there." Bi Gina's face turned sad.
"Your sisters miss you so much Nara." Deg. How long have I not been here?
"Do they want anything bi?"
"Maybe, not every time they meet you they always ask for strange food, on the grounds of seeing it in television commercials." I smiled, right but I didn't feel bothered by them at all.
"It's gone, 'cause your mom waited too long."
"Alright bi."
"Eh Nara wait." I looked again. "Do you want auntie to cook something? For your dinner later." I thought for a moment. What I really like, just meat soup, that's also during my pregnancy anyway.
"Sup bi, I can heat it up."
"Yes already." I walked out, out the apartment door. This time I started the day with a smile, no matter where the spirit came from. For sure I shook my head when I imagined Adam kissing my forehead last night, before he went home and left. Ah crazy! I should have been mad at him right, just like that time when Satria did it to me without permission first.
Mother's car from a distance was already visible, but I didn't recognize the car that was also right next to mother's car.
"Dad?" I still couldn't believe it, and shook my head slowly. Could it be dad? If it was true father, surely the two of them would clash their mouths, because that was the reality if these two parents met. I'm speeding up my steps to make sure.
"If you really love her, you should know what's going on with Kinara." I keep my ears sharpened.
"I know, if he gets suspended from school for slander, right?"
"More than that!"
"you mean? Because he's out of the club' night? Da? I also know that, I've fixed everything."
"You're a woman, can't you see if Kinara's changing right now?"
"Change? What change? Don't talk in a hurry!"
"You'd better take Kinara home"
"Dad, mother?" I stand before them now. Right behind the car they were fighting an argument. And I heard that I was still curious about the father who talked about me earlier.
"Kinara, let's go now?" Mom pulled my arm.
"Mom, wait. I want to say hello to you." Mom sighed and let go of my hand, preferring to jump right into her car.
"Dad, what are you doing here? Own dad? Where's Aunt Intan?" The face of the father who was originally flushed, like he was holding back emotions. But in a matter of seconds he can change it again.
"Dad just wants to go to the office, baby. But just saw your mother's car I stopped here on purpose, just wanted to say hello. And Aunt Intan she's home, you come there. He misses you too."
"Yes yeah. But it can't be today."
"Yes, I understand that. I'm grateful that you've confessed to your mother. Being close to him is a must. I wish you'd told your mother everything, too." All stories? Ah no way, I still feel awkward.
"Here, your mother is waiting. I don't want him to blame me anymore." I chuckled because Dad was talking like he was joking, even though I knew it was serious.
Sometimes I wonder, why do you hate you so much? Shouldn't during the household mother have been able to love father? So do I, I just don't hate Adam. Even though I already know how the story of mother, but it's only the mother version. I didn't hear it from my father's mouth.
"Kinara, what are you thinking?" I looked at my mother, and smiled as I shook my head.
"Did your father scold you earlier?" I shook my head again.
"Where are we going, ma'am?"
"We're going shopping, baby. Uh that's why you're wearing clothes like a pregnant person anyway?" Huh huh? I laughed crisply. While thinking what reason.
"No Ma'am. This is a trend among young people."
"really? Then I'll buy it like this again for you." Hehe, I can only grin. Spirit, the graduation exam is in sight. And it only lasted three days. It won't be long.
It turned out that my mother didn't take me straight to the mall. Mom stopped by the house because her wallet was left behind.
"You don't want to come down?" I turned to the courtyard of the house that looked deserted and there were only a few guards standing there. Together with the gardener who was tidying up the expensive plants owned by the mother.
"No Ma'am. I'm just here, mom's not long, right?"
"No, yeah, just wait a minute." You should be able to ask one of the house servants to deliver his wallet to the car. Heh but mom is different. From the past about private property can not carelessly touch it. What else is a wallet. If only grandfather and grandmother were still there, surely I could ask for a little explanation of how the mother used to be when she was little, and when she was the same age as now.
Ting. A message came into my phone.
"Good morning, good activity. Don't forget to come to my mother's house later. The spirit of living the day is Nara." Deg. My heart, oh my God. Is that how happy I was when I received the message from Adam?
"Thank you, you too."
"Nara, why are you smiling to yourself?" Uh I was shocked, unaware of mother's presence here. Love can really take the world away, right?
"Mom?" Mother looks.
"When you fall in love, you smile often?" Mom frowned hearing my question.
"Why do you ask that? Are you in love?" Uh what do I have to answer?
"No Ma'am. I just want to know."
"Mom would rather you open up like this with Nara's mother."
And the car drove away from my mother's mansion, and also mine. When I asked why didn't mom just go out with the driver? And she replied, this time she will be my driver. And what, a smile just puffed up from my lips. I'm happy!
Half an hour drive has arrived at the most expensive mall in the city. The price of clothes here is also three times that of ordinary stores. I'm not surprised, because from a small age all my belongings have been worth a range of millions. It's just that I didn't get any affection, but that was it. And now, I think mom's changed. Thank God, on the sidelines of my grief you still tell me one thing I want.
"Mom chose it for you?" I just nod. Mom and I went around carrying trolleys.
In just a few minutes, there are already many clothes that you choose for me. And there are only two colors, blue and brown. Blue is the color you love, while you know that you love brown.
"You try it first." I went into the dressing room, tried one by one. There are two clothes I really don't want to wear. Not because I don't like it, but it's too tight if I wear it so that the bulge in the abdomen is clearly visible.
"Nara? Is it done?" Mom screamed from outside.
"Shortly Mom." It's very hard to open. How do I do it, do I have to ask Mom for help now? It's impossible, right?
Ah already removed these tight clothes from my body. I came out with a bent face.
"Why baby?"
"Mom, I don't want this one. Too tight if I wear it." She smiled, and touched my stomach. Deg, I'm so scared.
"You have to do a lot of sports." I know what it means, but my weight has also gone down, not as fat as that time.
"Nara?" My mother looked at me without blinking.
"Why Ma'am?"
"Why does anyone move like a kick?" Duars.. Tub's been struck by lightning now. I was immediately silenced. I was confused as to what reason to give.
"Maybe it's just mom's feelings." Mom was silent now, like thinking of something.
"Nara?" I pretended to be busy separating the clothes in the trolley.
"What does this mean to your father?" Daddy's? Yeah, didn't you ask mom to look more at me now.
"Mom, it could be a stomach worm if it sounds, isn't the stomach also like shaking? The wind can." Mom stroked his chest and thanked him. Then I thought I was pregnant! Ahaz.
"Mom? Can I buy you one dress for bi Gina?"
"Bi Gina?" Geez I forgot, I don't know who bi Gina is.
"Bi Gina helped me in my apartment. He's a good man." Mom smiled.
"Did he take care of you all this time?" I'm nodding.
"Choose as you please dear, buy it for him. More than one." Huh huh? Did ya? I was immediately excited and chose clothes suitable for bi Gina.
Two hours in the mall. Finally done, I prefer to wait for the mother from a distance, the mother who brought the entire groceries cashier shirt. Do you know what women do when shopping? It takes a long time to choose, once it has taken there are obstacles that say not suitable. I myself do not know how much the total expenditure, which must have spent tens of millions.
"Nara, come?" I carry two large paper bags with famous logos.
"Here, I'm helping you." Mom handed one to me. And we walked to the car.
"What time is it?" Mom asked me before driving her car.
"Twelve hours less than 10 minutes ma'am."
"We went to find a place to eat, yes, you must be hungry, right?"
"Hehe, yes, ma'am." Honestly, I was hungry.
There is a restaurant not far from the mall. And I chose her to eat there. I agree, if you say the food is good, you must be right.
Inside, my mother and I were greeted by a beautiful and friendly waiter. I also did not hesitate to return his smile.
"What do you want to eat, baby?"
"I'm the same as Mom." Mom mentioned the food she wanted with her drink, I gave it to mom.
"After this, you're not going anywhere, are you?"
"I have an appointment with Adam Mom. His mother asked me to come there."
"Adam?" I'm nodding.
"Never. Is she your boyfriend?" I laughed, but why did my mother's question even make my heart a little bit sliced.
"Not Mom, do you remember Iam? My childhood friend, the son of my father and mother's best friend." Mom immediately froze, I don't know what reaction she's showing right now. But I will continue the story.
"Adam was Hendrawan Bu's son. She also said hello to my mother when she picked me up at school. Do you remember?" Mom is still quiet. "The one who brought my car home to the apartment." I tried to explain again.
"Andrew?" I'm nodding.
"Mom still reminding?"
"Is he healthy?"
"What mother do you mean? Adam's? Or her mother?"
"They're all." The conversation paused when the waiter came to serve food to the table.
"Good fun.."
"Thank you brother." The waiter nodded and left.
"Mom will take you there."
I'm happy, but why would I doubt?
"Nara, are you listening? Mother will deliver." I can only nod. Mother asked me to finish the food immediately. Then I sent Adam a message, not to pick me up.
"Why? Didn't you come here? My mom cooked for you?" Adam replied to my message.
Oh my God, I was staring into my own stomach. All right, it's just spaghetti, I think it's still okay to eat another one.
"Why baby?"
"No, Mom."
"Open your mouth." Mom put food in my mouth. If this is the name I have eaten two servings at once.
And I burped, I should have told the stomach room to eat Adam's mother's cooking.
"Just wait. I'll be here any minute." I replied, then put the phone back in the bag.
***
My mother and I arrived at the gate of Adam's house. Mother had not yet opened her voice, still busy observing the house from behind the gate. I glanced at him, wanting to come down immediately.
"Mother?"
"Nara, I'm coming." Deg. Wha what?? You mean you're gonna come down and go inside? Why am I afraid, what am I afraid of? Didn't Adam's mother and mother also used to be friends and know each other.
"All right, ma'am." I went downstairs and told the housekeeper that me and their master already had an appointment. After that the gate opened wide and allowed for the mother's car to enter, then the gate was closed tightly as if no guests had come here.
"What mother?"
"You go in first, I'll catch up." Mom seemed to be calling someone when I was no longer in the car with her. I stepped in with an occasional look back, and just as I was being reprimanded by one of the passing servants, my steps came to a halt.
"Miss Kinara?" I smiled and then nodded. But wait, I wonder how he knows my name?
"The lady told me that there would be special guests coming to the house." Whahuh? Special guest? I immediately shook my head.
"No aunt, mom's overrated."
"Hehe, the proof is that the mistress cooks herself so much, and is unwilling to accept the help of the servants. It seemed that the guest to come would be very special to him." Oh my God, Adam's mother was so good to me.
"Let me take you in." I nodded and thanked him, but again I looked back. And mom was still in the car, and the windshield was closed. It made me not see what Mom was doing in the car.
"Good day, madam, your guest has arrived." The waiter leaves when he has completed his task. And I saw the figure of the beautiful woman standing from where she was sitting, then smiling at me.
"Darling, have you arrived? I miss you so much." Adam's mother even spread her arms, while welcoming her own daughter.
"Mother me"
"You must be looking for Adam, right?" Uh not that, why it's so hard to explain that I didn't come alone! Unless my mom's outside.
"So soon, I'll ask the waiter to call Adam. He's in his room." I nodded, and sat down on the soft sofa. There's a laptop screen still on there. I'm sure that Adam's mother must be doing corporate work from home.
"Adam?" I smiled to greet him.
We had gathered, and the sound of footsteps was clear to me. Slowly, my mother stood in front of the entrance. I'm the only one who's aware of it, but not the two of them.
"Good day Herna." That sound is echoing in this room, crazy is just my feeling. My mother did not speak loudly.
The two looked at each other, then looked back at me. I myself was confused as to what kind of response to it, and could only nod.
"Mother brought me here." Adam's mother stood up immediately, she greeted my mother by walking over to him. I don't know what they're going to talk about next. All I know is that right now, only Adam and I are in the couch.
"How can you?" Adam asked in a soft voice so as not to split in the room so as to cause hearing in the ears of others.
"I told mom." Adam looked the other way, more precisely where my mother and mother were standing facing each other. And the next second, his mother Adam pulled on my mother's arm gently, it was clearly visible in my eyes. Then invite him not to sit on the sofa but instead leave me and Adam who are already sitting here.
"Bi, please have a drink." There was a servant who was passing by Adam immediately called him.
"Hem." I looked up again.
"You don't have to worry and stop looking at the door. My mother won't hurt your mother." Basic, not about that, but I was just wondering what they were going to talk about.
"You don't want to ask me how I'm doing today?"
"Eh yes Dam. How's your check today? Didn't your mom say you were going to the hospital last night?" Adam smiled, and pulled my hand to leave the sofa.
"Whither way?"
"Is there something I need to show you?" Adam continued to pull my hand, until he reached the stairs, Adam still did not take off his grip. I had to throw it away forcibly. Crazy one! There's no way I'm running up the stairs. I took a breath and threw it away slowly. Walking fast at a distance that is not far away really makes me feel the extreme tightness.
"Where are we going? Is this going to your room?"
"Yes, why?"
"Huh? You are crazy! Didn't you say yourself that your mother was so angry that a girl dared to come into your room!"
"Yes, but that doesn't apply to you Nara." Huh huh? It's the same! Am I not a girl, too! No, soon I will be a mother.
"You scared? What are you afraid of?" Adam pointed at a person who from below only visible long hair tied up. Who'sis that?
"Calm down, I won't close my door. Even if there's no one upstairs, there's still someone standing guard there." Heh thank goodness then. But why do I feel like I'm being fooled by Adam huh? Why did she break up with Elena just because Elena went into her room? Didn't he say just now that no one above the door would be kept? Goddamnit! It looks like Adam was on purpose! Calling the guards to believe him.
"Hey, hurry up Nara." Until I got to the door of his room, I glanced at the guard who looked down respectfully. I smiled and walked in.
"What do you want to show me?" He was still busy with whatever things he had, I just stood up while looking at him unblinkingly.
"Is Adam inside?"
"Yes young master. Being with his friend."
"If mother?"
"The lady is also having guests. They're in his office."
"Well, then tell mom I'm home, deliberately because my head is so dizzy."
I sharpened my ears again, and there was already the sound of a step away. As if I recognized his voice, curiosity prompted me to walk out and ask the guard. Ah but I'm very disinclined.
"You why?" Adam found what he was looking for.
"So, you didn't hear anyone talking, he was looking for you?" Adam frowned, indifferent to my words and instead preferred to open the white paper and asked me to take a look.
"Adam? It's you?" Adam smiled as he folded his hands on his chest.
"It still takes about a few days even weeks to complete. It depends on my mood when I want to paint it."
"You should have prepared this painting." The look on Adam's face was like a disappointed person? Wh why? Did I say the wrong thing, because it's time just to get some medicine?
"Adam, I'm sorry I didn't mean to, Hem I know that you've been busy with therapy lately."
"It's okay." He put it back in the closet.
"What do you want to paint?" I only saw the initial reconstruction, because Adam had not fully painted the picture. And that alone has amazed me.
"I told you I'd give this to you as a surprise. So you can't know."
"Painting only."
"You're worth nothing to Nara, but to me it's worth a lot." Deg. Again, did I say wrong? The present Adam seems to be more sentimental towards me.
"We're out now yeah, I'm afraid mom's looking for me later." Without waiting for the answer, I just went out and walked to return to the living room. Who knows, my mother has gone back there.
And it turns out to be true, my mother and Adam's mother were there. If they ask, what do I have to answer later?
"Nara, where are you from?"
"Sorry Mom, I'm from Adam's room. Adam-"
"I'm just showing you some test prep notes tomorrow, ma'am." Heh, I turned my head straight away. Since when did he come? I didn't even hear his steps.
"Sit down, there's so much we want to ask you as parents." No, why is this heart beating. And the faces of these two old men were indeed really serious. Were they angry that Adam and I came out of the room?
Or, maybe they already know that it's actually me and Adam! Oh my God, no!!!
Seriate..
