Sorry, Ma!

Flashback

"Knaaan!" said Eri with two teary eyes.

Tegar pulled back his phone when he saw the woman was already covered in tears.

Both of Eri's palms smothered his mouth so that the crying that came out only took the form of a poignant sob.

"Why?" Tegar felt confused because the woman suddenly cried after seeing the face of princess Arun who had bad luck.

"He ...he is the boy who accompanies me in the park every afternoon" said Eri with great difficulty.

DEG

Both Tegar and Tuti were jolted. They may not believe what they just heard.

However, both of them thought that it was impossible for Eri to say nonsense, because the tears that came out of both her clear eyeballs, was a deep sorrow that could not be made up. And it's very obvious.

"Has a matter of fact, every time I hold her hand her body temperature is always cold. And he always said he had a pain in his stomach, Gar." Eri's cries were breaking.

Inevitably, Tegar grabs the fragile body of his ex-lover into an embrace. Trying to calm the woman down as much as possible.

"You have to help him, Gar. It seems like his spirit hasn't calmed down." Eri continued to cry in a Hardcore embrace. Makes the man overwhelmed to react to it.

One side of Tegar wants to confirm Eri's request, but on the other hand, the case about Rachia Arunika's death has been closed because Arun has revoked his report.

"Eri .. unraveling the mystery stored in a case is my duty, but in this case, Arun himself has retracted the report, and ak-"

"We can do it together, Gar. No matter the law that applies. Rara herself asked me to help her. And he promised to help me find Fabia's whereabouts," said Eri, who stunned Tegar.

It turned out that what he saw on the playground the other day, was actually an invisible sight. Eri did seem to laugh at himself, but in fact there was the spirit of a little boy who was playing with him. And that .. can't be seen by both eyes. Including a fruitcher named Joni.

Rigid still gently stroked Eri's back until the woman calmed down.

While Tuti, he was confused what to say. In his heart he believed full of what Erianiza said. Moreover, Tuti is a village woman with spiritual abilities that she inherited from her late grandmother. However, not many people knew about it, because Tuti never exposed it.

To the knowledge of Tuti, the soul of the person who is depressed will tend to make him able to talk with spirits whose souls are also equally unsettled. And it makes Tuti sure, after hearing Eri's words earlier, the woman is experiencing the pettiness of life that she will ask directly.

"I'll take you home" said Tegar later.

"Don't!" Eri pulled herself away from the man while wiping her tears.

"Argan is here with me. You better take Tuti to a safe place first. Poor him, we have to meet Tuti with both parents Rara," continued Eri.

Tuti immediately snatched the woman's words.

"Don't, Mom."

"Why?"

Tegar and Eri asked compactly.

"There is a secret you need to know about Mr. Arun's wife" said Tuti, who made Tegar and Eri look at each other. "I'll tell you, but not here."

After finishing shopping, Eri escorted Argan home. The disappearance of Eri a few minutes ago was not realized at all by the husband, because the man was also busy talking to his friend. As a result, there was nothing suspicious for Argan.

"I'll go to the office first, yeah. Good cooking for dinner." Argan said goodbye after kissing his wife's forehead.

After Argan left, Eri immediately contacted Tegar to bring Tuti to his home.

Ten minutes later, the car was parked in the front yard.

"Now you can tell me everything, Ma'am." Eri stared fixedly at Tuti as the woman was already sitting in her living room facing Tegar and Eri.

...FLASHBACK...

Hima Anggraini was married to Arun Permana after his first wife-Nur Isna Anugrah-died.

Arun and Isna have a beautiful daughter named Rachia Arunika.

Baby Chia was abandoned by her mother after giving birth to her. Isna experienced severe bleeding after the labor process that made him immediately died.

Shortly after the grief, Arun thought he should find a surrogate mother for his daughter. Therefore, he immediately married Hima. The woman he had known for a long time before he married Isna.

Let's just say, Hima was Arun's first love. However, the two must separate as Arun is forced to marry the woman his parents have chosen.

Recently married, Hima did seem meek and pretentious to accept the existence of Baby Chia. However, as time went on, the woman instantly showed her true nature. Hima often scolded and yelled at Baby Chia if the baby looked fussy.

Tuti, who plays Baby Chia's nanny from birth, loves Chia as much as her own child. He could not bear to see the harsh treatment that Hima gave Baby Chia.

"Can't you make this baby quiet?!" hema snapped at Tuti who was calming Baby Chia who was crying.

"Mom, the sick baby was indeed impressed fussy," explained Tuti.

"Well, long time can my eardrum break if every day should listen to his cry." Hima exited Baby Chia's room by slamming the door.

BRAAAC

Tuti jerks. Likewise with Baby Chia, who at that time had a fever due to the growth of his first teeth. The baby was crying even louder in surprise.

"Prophey, dear." Tuti kissed in Baby Chia's forehead while shaking her body in a sling.

The days change, the months, and the years also roll in. Chia is four years old. The adorable baby pendulum kribo made his father always smile when he came home from work.

"Papa's home!" arun exclaimed as he opened the main door of their residence.

As usual, from inside her room, Chia would run around in a rush to get her body straight into her father's arms.

"Papa, papa, Chia wants to go for a walk" said the toddler with an accent that was clearly heard.

Arun who heard that, immediately let go of his embrace. Staring at the face of the princess just the wayangnya, then stroked soft cheek Chia.

"Where are you going to go for a walk, honey? We'll take mom. Uh, Chia's forehead why, son?" As if forgetting his initial question, Arun focused more on the bruise on his daughter's forehead.

"So, Chia hit the table just to eat, didn't she, honey?"

Suddenly Hima came closer to the father and son with a crisp face.

Arun and Chia turned their heads towards the source of the voice. Hima crouched down near her husband and stepson.

"Other times, be careful, son." Arun stroked the soft bruised wound on Chia's forehead. The toddler just nodded towards his father.

Arun never suspected Hima in the slightest, because in his view room, the woman had always been warm to his daughter.

"Tuti!" arun exclaimed at his babysitter.

"Yes, Sir." Tuti walked back and forth toward the magiikan.

"Hurry and get Chia ready. We're going for a walk!" said Arun who was possessed by Tuti.

After Tuti left, Hima immediately stood beside Arun staring fixedly at the two beads of her husband's eyes from the side.

"Where are we going, honey?" ask Hima to Arun.

"Chia likes to play on rides the most. Come on, we're ready, too." Arun hugged Hima's shoulder, then led her into the room.
