The Widow of One Billion

The Widow of One Billion
The Part 94



The day had changed with the night, time as if running without waiting. Such is the essence of time, where humans need it while time does not need us. Dinner time has come. The warm atmosphere surrounding all family members had gathered in the dining room


Without exception.


A different dinner menu this time has been presented so that makes everything in the room, feel like spending the food immediately. Ms. Dellia who has prepared this special dish was helped by Bi Minah. The woman was very excited even though she was no longer young, but she was still so dexterous when it came to cooking. Mira probably inherited a bit of an energetic and good at cooking like her mother.


When everyone was at the dinner table, the atmosphere was silent, no one spoke anything but the sound of the cutlery was heard.


Suddenly Bi Minah's voice broke the silence created between them, "Madam, I heard from people that there are smart people who can solve problems without problems" Chirp Minah without feeling guilty.


Instantly the faces of everyone who was there looked at the woman with a very strange look.


"Like the pawnshop Bi," Jack replied as he looked at Bi Minah's face questioningly.


"Yes... Master he's a smart man, maybe not a cancer in the womb Madam, it could be a use-use that sent Sania. He, do not like it at all Non Mira, people like him, right, could have done various ways so that the goal is achieved," Said Bi Minah at length as if she did not believe that Mira was not suffering from cancer but rather the benefits sent by someone who hated her employer.


"What does Auntie mean, talk like that? Are there things like that in this day and age?" Said Jack in wonder, with all the words of Bi Minah. For the man everything his assistant said was also a story he had heard about being moody or grubby, only in the movies and not in the real world.


"Many, sir, that kind of thing, I hear a lot from people out there. Such a thing they use to kill their enemies,” Bi Minah replied again.


All who were there only listened to the statement from Bi Minah, they were reluctant to chim in because for them it made no sense. However, they had also heard about the black magic in the form of witchcraft so they suspected, maybe Mira was useful from Sania, as the housekeeper said.


When viewed from modern and human science and advanced technology that exists, it all seems impossible. All of this is hard to believe.


 


At that time all who were at the dinner table were wrestling with their minds each digesting all the words of Bi Minah.


"Did Bi Minah know her place?" Mira asked Bi Minah she Wanted to make sure that the info she brought was not random but, with the fact that the smart person existed.


"There! In the area, anyway, I know Non, but, for his house I do not know," replied Bi Minah.


"Can anatar I don't, Bi?" Katan Mira then.Spontan Jack turned his face to Mira and said, "Eh, Wait a minute.... Why are you going there?" Looks like Jack's trying to prevent his wife's actions.


"You meet that smart guy, he says he can solve problems without problems, right?” Firmly Mira without guilt to her husband.


"Don't be weird.we are people who are in the modern era, do you believe that?"  Jack said, looking at the wife's face.


"I want to find an alternative medicine, I don't want to see a doctor anymore, they're going to kill my son, Mas!" Mira said as she stood up and left leaving everything on the dining table.


Everyone who saw that, just let out a long breath. They seem helpless to give understanding to the pregnant woman. Can only obey all his wishes, even if it makes no sense.


Dinner was over and everything went back to the living room. While Bi Minah tidied up the rest of their dinner table.


In the evening, Mira still silences Jack—her husband, frustrating the man because Mira answers so ironically when he asks and tries to talk to him. The pregnant woman even now sleeps on her back. Unfortunately, Jack's fate tonight can not feel the gentle caress of the wife.


But Jack remained firm in his stance, he did not believe in mystical things as his assistant said. Currently in 2022, the modern age is also including a monk when believing in other than God.


The two men fell asleep at a distance between them. Jack could only look at the wife's beautiful back from behind. Even the night felt colder than usual because the whole night no living blanket would embrace him.


Without feeling the sun began to greet, the sound of birdsong sounding melodious woke Mira. She looked to the side and saw her husband still faithful in his sleep.


The splashing sound of water from the bathroom made Jack wake up, he immediately opened his eyes slowly and looked to the side, but did not see the whereabouts of Mira. But hearing the splashing sound of water, the man looked very excited, he quickly rose from the bed to catch up with Mira who was bathing.


However, Jack's spirit suddenly shrunk when trying to open the bathroom door that turned out to be locked from the inside. It turns out that Mira was on her guard when Jack came in and followed her to take a bath together.


Jack sat back on the bed waiting for Mira to finish with her bathing ritual.


For a short time now the two have been sitting in the dining room for breakfast with Zay. Jack and Mira had breakfast in silence, both of them not talking to each other as if they were hostile, making Zay become confused at the behavior of his parents.


After breakfast Jack and Zay say goodbye to Mira. She kissed the back of her husband's hand and then, now, kissed his son's forehead.


"Assalamualaikum" the two men told Mira simultaneously.


"Waalaikumsalam" replied Mira.


Jack and Zay get into the car, Mira still faithfully looks at their departure until the car leaves the yard.


After making sure Jack and his vehicle are out of sight, Mira is now preparing to find the place of the smart man her maid said yesterday. The woman went to Bi Minah's room to invite her assistant to find the place where the smart man lived.


"Bi Minah!" Call Mira.


"Yes, Madam!" Bi Minah replied as she approached her.


"Quick get changed, we go to that smart guy's place!"  Mira's orders against Bi Minah.


"Where is Miss?" Ask Bi Minah.


"To where Auntie's smart guy said last night. Take my husband to the office!" Mira.


"But, Mistress... Here, right, there's Ms. Merlin as well as Dellia for sure they don't agree!" Said Bi Minah himself afraid of being angry with his master if he had to go hiding.


"Already, Do not think about them, let me later find the reason," said Mira.


"But, Mistress?" Bi Minah Speak.


"Come on. hunt get changed!" Mira told Bi Minah to hurry up.


"Good.. It!" Bi Minah immediately changed clothes, while Mira was still standing nearby, watching Bi Minah change clothes.


When it was finished, Mira and Bi Minah went outside the room, carefully.


"Wait here Yes, Take the bag first," Mira said as she left Bi Minah who was already in the living room.


Shortly after, Mira returned with a bag and invited her to leave. However, before that Mira said goodbye to Bu Dellia and Bu Merlin. He said that he would go to the market to buy all household necessities with Bi Minah.
