The Woman Behind The Scenes
Chapter 26 - Taking Children



In one week, Dara


spent her time in her new role as a new mom. A lot of things


that happened to him, and he left a good impression on the children who


born not from her womb.


On the seventh day, they will


he escorted Fitri and her sisters to the airport. They will go on


in the afternoon, Farah said she would wait for them at the airport later. This time, it's,


Dara has more self-confidence, and something different inside


she encourages him to come with Tomi to deliver the children.


“You coming, babe?” ask Tom


see Dara who is still berpaster on the sofa.


“Mama follow? Follow ‘kan?” Fitri


inquiring.


Dara smiled sweetly, answering the child


it was with a soft soft voice, “iya. Mama follow. Mama wants to change clothes first.”


They usually spend less


from 3 minutes to get ready and choose clothes. This time, he was wearing


dress in a beautiful pastel color, with her trademark thin makeup. Dresses


pregnant pastel yellow, with flat-colored shoes one level brighter, with,


her straight hair was unraveled, blush on was orange like fish meat


salmon, thinly decorate her face.


SUV that has been running since


earlier, it looks parked waiting for Dara. He walked up to the car, and


Tomi lowered her glass, throwing a smile at his visible wife


be different.


“What we can see Mama later


Dara again, dad?” said Firman as the car drove up to take them to the spot


where they will split up.


“Of course. You guys can too


stay with Mama Dara someday. But later. If you are already big, then,


because later Mama Dara can be skinny taking care of wayward children,” said Tomi from


steering chair.


The road feels like that


short, until within a few moments after that conversation, they could see


airport in front of them. Fitri picked up her ringing phone, and in


beside her, Dara could hear the voice of the half-screaming woman.


“Iya is almost there, Mah. I


do not hold HP from earlier ... Dad exists. Aye ... Mama Dara is also there,” said


Fitri on the phone.


“Iya ... Aunt Dara ..” it


slowing down her voice was like correcting her speech just now. Then close the call


that's.


Fitri doesn't look as happy as when


they'll ride that car at home. Obviously something that doesn't make it


happy, maybe in that conversation.


“What's up, Son?” ask Tomi


Fitri, when Dara gave a signal of blinking eyes on the glass in front.


“A ... Anu. Said mom, Mama Dara


can't come with.” he said in a lethargic tone.


“That's what mama said. Said dad, Mama


Dara can come. There's dad. Don't be afraid.” Tomi shows his side as


a father. Dara clasped the shoulder of the girl. He can feel


the boy was under pressure.


“Fitr. Drink the milk later


again, yes. In order to get a bit fat,” Dara switched the conversation


so that the boy would no longer think about his conversation with Farah.


“We don't drink milk, dad. As such


ade Kio, he always drinks milk. If we were, it's just liquid milk in the box sometimes.


Very rarely,” timbal Firman, and what was said leveled Tomi's expression


and Dara.


“Then, later you can


I asked my mom to buy milk. Aren't you, dad?” Dara knows how


encouraging the children. As a child growing up with a mother


single, and difficult economic life, he knows how to cope with all


a feeling that stirs up these kids.


“Iya. Later the loving father


The car stopped at the terminal


they go, and Dara leads the children down, while Tomi carries them


the kids bag.


Among the hustle and bustle, Dara


I could see Farah standing with a veil around her head and


his neck, tight-fitting long-sleeved t-shirt, and body fit model jeans. It


I know Farah must have seen it.


“That's mama!” raffi shouted, but no


approaching mother. The boy just waved his hand, and looked Farah


approaching them. Within 2 meters, he and Dara faced each other. Outer


allegedly, Dara thought he would be the party who first misbehaved.


But reality says something else. He could see Farah showing gestures


uncomfortable.


“Mama. I'll see you later, yeah.


See you little sister ..” Fitri hugged Dara, and her head leaned on


dara's stomach is crunching. Dara returned the hug, and kissed the child


the woman on her cheeks and forehead. Raffi, and Firman also follows brother


they hugged Dara, very tightly. Dara could see the tears in her eyes


petal Fitr. He looked down and rubbed the two small eyes. I don't know what


the boy felt the tears.


“Do not cry. Fitri wants to go home


with mama. Should be happy to reunite with mama.” Say while


wipe away the tears that ended up on the boy's cheek.


“Come kids,” Farah half


yelling orders her children to leave Dara and their father.


“Be careful on the road, mbak.” A greeting


a sincere farewell, come out of Dara's mouth just like that.


The woman turned around without


say whatever, and leave the couple, carrying


his children and disappear from their sight.


Tomi hugged his wife's shoulder, and


a kiss landed on his head.


“You are great ..” he said praising,


made Dara hold back her tears.


“What do you set aside?” ablaze


again, walking towards their car.


Dara just shook her head. To him


not because he was separated from the children who had treated him like a mother


himself, but he knew the children would be scolded by the biological mother


them.


“He is like that. At least I didn't choose wrongly,


with you ...” connect Tomi.


Both of them were silent inside


the car, while Tomi occasionally grasped the hand of his wife who continued to wipe


little by little tears were shed.


“Did you hear that? They


not drinking milk,” Dara opens a topic.


Tom breathed a breath


which feels full of sadness.


“I heard. I know he's not being honest


with finances, and every silver I send. But ... I'm not


guessing 5 kilograms of milk in his report was just a figment of a thumb. Exists


the kids will stay with us someday. I hope you don't


objection ... Mama Dara ..” Reply Tomi.


“Of course I don't mind. What


you crazy? That's yourchildren. I was in their position, living with


a single mother. That's hurtful. Farah's position is not easy, whatever


he did to you, he is still a woman in a difficult position together


three kids, bi,”


“This is one side that I like from


you, my wife ..” Tomi smiled and responded to his wife's words just now. Tak


just beautiful, for her Dara was also a patient and open woman


his mind. The car kept on going, carrying two loving people


honey, go home.
