Part 27: Bankrupt the World

"I ask, from today you call me Mas, huh?" pinta Erwin while focusing on driving a car.

"Actually I want to, but how else, it's become a habit."

"Judah if you don't want to call me." Erwin sulks. "I ask for rations 7 times a day."

"Huh?" Zahra gawking. "What the fuck?"

"Entertainment." Erwin smiled obliquely.

"Crazy! That's called torturing people."

"It's good, baby." Erwin chuckles.

"So, stress!" Zahra turned her eyes the other way. While folding both hands.

Then silence. There is no conversation between the two anymore. Zahra was still holding Erwin's request. It felt awkward to have to call Erwin as usual.

"If you call me sir. Means I'm your father. So, our marriage is illegal." Ervin complained.

Zahra. "I'm calling you because of your custom?"

"Well, it can call me, Mom." Erwin pointed with his index finger with a glowing face.

"Snakes, Sir!" Zahra covered her mouth with a lame face.

"Don't call me father, I'm not your father."

"Hey, I call you by the meaning of another word, sir. Not the real father."

Erwin clucked bitterly. "Try Zahra's practice, don't get stuck."

"Inggly, Sir!" lamented Zahra.

Erwin rolled his eyes lazily.

After a few minutes later, the two arrived in front of the residence of Viola and Rustam's house.

"Master?" said Bi Ijah immediately kissed Erwin's hand politely after opening the door.

Erwin smiled faintly. "How's it going, Bi?"

"Alhamdulilah, good sir." Bi Ijah smiled as he let them in.

Erwin's steps stopped after hearing the sound of crying that echoed inside the modern interior house.

"Rena crying, Mas?" zahra asked holding onto Erwin's shoulder which stopped in front of her.

The woman looks graceful with the pink striped black robe she uses.

Erwin sighed, it hurt even more if he remembered his little family that was not whole anymore.

"Cup .. cup.. Rena don't be naughty." Rustam tried to calm Rena who thrashed held him.

"Rena would like to see you, Papa!" rena's snort cried a hiccup while beating Rustam's head.

"Let's just come back, Papa, baby." Viola rubbed Rena's hair. The three of them were in the living room and seemed to calm Rena down.

"Rena!" call Erwin who appears with Zahra behind him.

Rena immediately ran over to Erwin and hugged him so tightly.

"Rena, kangen, Pa!" lirih Rena spoiled.

"Papa is kangen." Erwin rubbed Rena's cheeks that had been in tears.

I don't know why Erwin wanted to shed tears. Maybe because you can't bear to see Rena become a victim of her separation from Viola.

"Papa, very rarely, really, here?" rena's grunt was now a little calmer.

Erwin could only force a single smile, even though his body trembled as it could not answer Rena's question.

"How about we eat out, Mom?"  asked Viola who had now moved from her seat to greet Zahra.

Erwin swiped his nose towards Rena's tiny nose. "Hmm, Papa's son want to not eat outside?" tanyakanya.

Rena nodded innocently.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Chicken at the Mall, later you can all play on the timezone."

Viola smiled. "Yes, Rena is changing clothes first."

"It's the same Papa." Rena glared towards Viola. He is very spoiled if he is with Erwin.

"Jaudah yuk, same Papa." Erwin carried Rena to his room. "Papa's big baby is spoiled," he said, pinching Rena's cheek.

"Can't you, yeah, stay here? Same as Zahra?" ask Rena.

"Papa's not the same Mama Viola anymore, honey. Mama now has Papa Rustam." Erwin puts Rena in bed then looks for clothes for Rena in the closet.

"Keep if that's what Rena has now? Got a lizard at Rena's school?"

Erwin chuckles. "You have Papa Rustam, Papa Erwin, Mama Viola, Mama Zahra. Everyone loves Rena."

Rena speechless.

"You wanna wear this shirt?" tanya Erwin unfurled a small batik-patterned robe.

Rena shakes.

"This?" erwin went looking for another shirt. But Rena still shakes.

"Kok, which Papa chose to wear for Lebaran doang?" Rena grunting.

"Rena, this is a Muslim dress. Actually, you now have to wear a gini shirt. Don't wear clothes that are too open."

"You are a woman, you must take care of your conscience, my dear" said a voice in the doorway. Instantly the two of them immediately turned their heads and found Zahra already standing gracefully while smiling towards them.

"You came here?" asked Erwin then refocused on his activities.

"I'm clumsy Mas, haha .. shame on Viola." Zahra giggles.

"Say you want to be pretty like Nissa Sabyan?" zahra now speaks to Rena.

Rena seemed to think. "Judah Rena wants to wear that one."

"Printer."

***

After they finished eating the food they ordered, the five of them went straight to the timezone. Accompanying Rena play various rides games available there.

Viola and Zahra were swept up in the game when Rena invited them to shoot on a digital screen.

While Erwin and Rustam just smiled observing their activities.

"How's the office doing?" tanya Erwin tried to familiarize himself with Rustam.

Although his hatred for the man had not faded completely. Remembering Rustam's cruelty in the past.

"So you're under control, boss."

Erwin breathed a sigh of relief. "Alhamdulilah, the boutique is still smooth?"

"Hmm, sure." Rustam nodded. "Your business is good?"

Erwin smiled faintly. "Yes." Yeah."

"Turn back to the office again, Bro, so the company leader Wijaya Group again." Rustam.

Erwin was a little caught off guard, then shook his head slowly. "It doesn't feel appropriate."

"Just because you're not Viola's husband anymore?"

Erwin nodded.

"Lo's my assistant." Rustam grinned. "Leaders can, right, find new employees?"

"I think all the employees there miss the same lo," continued Rustam with a sigh. "The problem is I also have to take care of my business in Paris, Win."

"Maybe it can't. I want to get a thought on." Erwin smiles.

"Well, if that's your choice."

Erwin nodded. Perhaps, all this time he was just a wall of suffering for Viola. Erwin had to completely clash his relationship with Viola which had indeed been destroyed.

"Rena, just not used to this situation. I'm sure sooner or later he'll get used to it." Rustam switched the topic of their chat.

Erwin smiled bitterly. "Please take care of Rena."

"Ready!"

***

Dendy Wijaya, Viola's father massaged the base of his nose, looking at the financial reports of some businesses and companies he owned.

Financial ratios are not very in line with expectations. Expenditures greater than income. The profit received is very little. Rustam really cannot be trusted to manage his business. Not to mention debts that cannot be controlled and still cannot be repaid on schedule, making the company's financial decline.

"How's Rustam doing?" Dendy shook her head.

"Why, anyway, Pa?" he asked his wife when he entered the room with a cup of tea.

"Papa misses Erwin."

Dendy's wife sighed. "Their relationship cannot be saved."

"For Rustam!"

"Papa, he's our son-in-law." The baby-beak woman held the shoulder of her husband.

"Papa still regards Erwin as my son-in-law."

"Huh! But reality is inversely proportional to our expectations."

"Erwin is the best man Papa has ever met. He's a smart kid who still cares about his religion. Though Papa wants to make Viola happy in the world-nature because he's Erwin's companion."

"Destiny cannot be changed, Pa."

"It's all because of Rustam!"

"Father!" snapped Viola's mother reprimanding.

"Papa allowed Erwin to marry again. It doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't leave Viola. But, even Viola is troubled."

"Rather than being left unchecked, Viola will continue to be caught up in the sin of infidelity, Pa. Erwin did all this also for Viola's good."

Dendy rubbed his tired face. "Erwin is truly the perfect man to be a son-in-law."

"Papa has failed to make Viola's life better" he continued.

"Rustam's gonna make Viola's life better, Pa."

"Not with his religion, Ma. Can what Rustam? He was not a good priest, who could bring Viola closer to the Creator. Not like Erwin."

Viola's mother was silent for a moment. He chose to leave the room rather than continue the debate.

"Asstag." Dendy took a break and then cut out the warm tea his wife had made. He never knew how to save the life of his beloved daughter other than to make Erwin as a solution. Dan, now? Erwin was instead kicked from the area he set himself.

Their marriage ended tragically. Farewell is the end of pain.
