Part 22: Fighting the Viola

I signaled for the three of them to follow me.

The three of them were a little upset because I felt like I was working. However, their irritation would definitely pay off with the sight they would see in a moment.

"Look!" point me towards two visitors who are busy taking pictures in front of the villa.

Sari's face flushed red, bringing out anger. The woman rushed over to the couple, and...

Plakk!!!

One hard slap landed on Rustam's cheek.

Uncle Aji and Aunt Susi had once glanced at me in disbelief. While I was just speechless, highlighting the quarrel wryly.

Many visitors stared at them. Rustam and Viola just lowered their heads, humiliated in public.

Sari sobbed while venting her anger.

Yes, I can also feel how you feel, Sari.

"Rustam can't be allowed!" hiss uncle Aji next to me. "How dare he hurt my daughter."

Then he stepped closer to them. My eyes just watched from behind. I don't want to show up in front of Viola, because I don't want them to know I'm the mastermind behind this whole mess.

My mouth was gaping wide to see Uncle Aji jump while hitting Rustam's face. Several visitors flocked to separate them.

Kulirik aunt Susi who rushed over to the chaos with a panicked face. Then it turned towards Sari who hit Viola and grabbed her hair.

I let out a rough breath. Take a cell phone to call my errand boy who's here.

"Hallo," I said as the phone lifted.

"Please protect the Viola from violence. If you need to take him to a safe place."

Tut!

I'm backtracking. Can't see the chaos. I hope Viola realizes that what he did was wrong.

I stepped back to where Zahra and Rena were. The two of them who were standing on the wooden bridge looked confused to see the commotion across there.

Fortunately, Zahra and Rena had no intention of approaching.

"What's up, sir?" ask Zahra curiously.

"Hm, adult business." I crouch. Holding both shoulders of Rena.

The little girl looked uneasy, seeing the adult tension. "Like the place?" ask me with a hoarse voice.

Rena mangosteen. "But that's why, Pa?" tanyakanya.

"No pa-pa. There's people playing movies, just acting." I lifted the tiny body into a sling.

"We moved to a mini park. You haven't been there in a long time, have you?" my spoken.

"Mbak Zahra's coming?" Rena pointed to Zahra.

I glanced at the silent Zahra. "Sure, Honey."

"But ...," Rena bit her lip. "Why not follow up, Pa?"

I bowed lethargicly looking at those glazed clear eyes. "Maybe my mom's busy."

Dusk in the afternoon ended the happiness of the three of us. The smile of happiness that adorned our faces throughout the day began to be replaced by fatigue.

I drove Rena home. Slowly, a sense of being held back and trying to be forgotten in the memory. The moment that Rustam and Viola were humiliated.

"Why go straight away, don't you sleep at home anymore?" asked the little girl while puffing her cheeks.

I turned towards him with a sad look. Then, close the lips.

"Mbak Zahra lives with me, because Rena is also often left with my mother. Rena's sometimes just at home with aunt."

Rena looks moody. Her fading cherry face was replaced by sadness since the word go home began to say.

"Yes, I'll try to talk to mama ya, so that mama Zahra nemenin you." I patted my mouth, because of the flak.

"Mama Zahra?" Rena frowned. Zahra looked grimacing.

"Yes, Zahra is papa's wife. Your second mother." I had to be honest. Although heavy.

"How will Viola's mama go?" Tears of Rena began to fall.

Zahra and I looked at each other with clumsy faces. Then he breathed a rough breath.

The little girl sobbed, while covering her face with both palms.

I don't know what to say to Rena. The pony-haired boy smacked Zahra's hand into his body. "Rena doesn't want to be close to Zahra anymore. Turns out Zahra's a bad guy! Take papa from Rena!"

"Rena, Zahra didn't mean it." Zahra clutched Rena's thrashing body.

"Please! Rena's coming down!" rena shouted while crying roaring.

My head is getting dizzy. Even the car I was driving almost hit the biker.

***

Arriving at home. I can't find Viola at home. I decided to call him, but I didn't get an answer.

"Where to, Pa?" Rena was wagging my legs while looking up.

I let out a rough sigh, then crouched down and hugged her. Unable to give an explanation.

Zahra who was standing next to us just fell silent with a sad face.

"You're going with papa with mama Zahra ya."

Rena glanced towards Zahra with a cynical look. Then shook his head.

"Mbak Zahra is evil. Papa don't come with Zahra!" Rena banged my shoulder.

"Honey, it can't be." I clutched the tiny body of Rena thrashing.

"Papa's just kidding me, but Zahra's mom just wants to be your babysitter. Mama you keep mama Viola, mbak Zahra just want to know you." I rubbed the tears on Rena's cheek, glancing at Zahra with a parched face, asking for a woman's understanding.

Zahra sighed harshly, then nodded.

***

Since the tragedy in the mangrove forest yesterday, Viola and Rustam have not revealed their noses. I don't know, run where they are to cover up the shame.

This heart hurts to see Rena crying to hold back the miss to the mother.

"Rena, don't cry anymore, yeah." Zahra runs out of ways to calm Rena down. While I can only massage the dizzy head.

What I should do. Looking for Viola, or letting them be happy with her blind love?

Drrr... Drrtt...

The phone in my pants pocket rang. Grandpa told me to come to his house. Yes, the grandfather I saved during the fire tragedy a few months ago. The grandfather I loved so much.

***

Platkk!!!

One loud slap landed on my cheek as I crouched down in front of the old man sitting in the wheelchair.

"I never taught my granddaughter to be polygamous!" Grandfather glanced towards Zahra who was holding Rena in the doorway.

"Sorry Erwin, Cake!" I was about to kiss her hand, but was immediately pushed aside by grandfather.

"Where is your wife now. How could he go with another man. It must be because you're polygamous."

I looked down and clenched my hands.

"No woman Erwin wants to fight, you should understand that!"

"No man ever saw his wife cheating!" reply fast.

Grandfather immediately fell silent.

"I've been patient with Viola's attitude. But, she's even more so with her ex-boyfriend!" my jaw hardened with glittering eyes. Just this time I acted bravely in front of the grandfather whom I respected a lot.

"Viola was never happy with me, Cake. What should I do?!"

"Our seven years in the household, but Viola's attitude never changed. Viola feels agonized with our matchmaking. What do I do, Cake?"

My emotions are out of control.

"Do you still love Viola?" ask grandpa in a bitterly changed tone.

I glanced back. Zahra and Rena are gone. It was a sign that I could answer freely without thinking about his feelings.

"Yes, grandpa. Rena is proof of my love for Viola."

"Fight him, bring him back to your arms."
