17. Mother Poppy

Mother Poppy and Pak Budi and their two children are on their way to Tanah Kusir area. They attended the study of their close relatives. When passing through a mini market suddenly Salfa exclaimed, “Mamah, look! Aa again carry a small child.”

Poppy's mother was shocked to hear that.

“Stop, Dad!” exclaims Mother Poppy by reflex.

Mr. Budi immediately pulled his car over.

“Mana, Salfa?” ask Poppy's mother while looking back.

“That, go into the mini market,” replied Salfa while pointing to the mini market that is behind the car.

“No, Ndri?” poppy's mother asked Andri's youngest son.

“Bener, Mah,” replied Andri.

Poppy's mother opened the door.

“Where are you going?” ask Mr. Budi while holding the hand of Mother Poppy.

“Mama want nyamperin Firas,” replied Ms. Poppy.

“No need! Let it go,” prevent Mr. Budi.

“This father how, anyway? What if what Vivin says is true, if Firas is dating a woman who already has children,” said Poppy's mother with annoyance.

“Not necessarily, Mah. It is possible that the woman was one of the employees of Firas,” said Mr. Budi patiently.

“Salfa, you don't like your Mamah manas-manasin!” exclaim Mr. Budi to Salfa.

“Ih..Dad, it's true, really. Andri also see Aa Firas,” replied Salfa.

“We wait here only,” said Mr. Budi.

They also wait in the car until Firas out of the mini market. Soon after, Firas' car came out of the mini market.

“That's car Aa,” said Salfa pointed to the car that just came out of the mini market.

“Dad, follow the car Firas!” mother Poppy said.

Budi followed Firas' car. Firas car is very slow.

“The path is very slow, anyway,” Andri grumbled.

“Maybe Aa while dating,” whispered Salfa.

“Ih, Teteh. If not it can be a slander,” said Andri.

Pak Budi continued to follow his eldest son's car.

“This will be the way to Aa's house,” Andri said.

“Don't-don't Firas keep women in his house,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Not necessarily true, Mah. Don't suuzon just yet!” said Mr. Budi.

Firas stopped in front of his house. When Firas was about to open the gate, Mother Poppy got out of the car and called her eldest son.

“Firas!”

Firas.

“Mamah?” firas said in shock.

Firas approaches Poppy's mother.

“Mamah, where are you going? He said he wanted to go to school,” asked Firas.

“Mamah who should ask, who was the little boy you were carrying?” Poppy's mother asked.

“Meaning Mamah, Maira?” ask Firas.

Suddenly Firas was aware of something.

“Ya Alloh. Firas left Maira alone in the car,” Firas said frantically.

He forgot that he left Maira alone in the car.

“Shortly, Mah. Firas enter the car first,” Firas immediately run to his car.

Firas pulls Maira out of the car and approaches her mama.

“Please hold Maira first, Mah. Firas wants to get in the car" Firas gives Maira to Poppy's mother.

Poppy's mother was dumbstruck when told to hold Maira. Firas returned to his front door to open the gate of his house and enter his car.

Poppy's mother took Maira into the car. Maira was confused to see many strangers around her.

“Ih, funny,” Salfa menowel cheeks Maira.

“What's the name?” ask Salfa.

“Mala,” Maira replied.

“Name Maira,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Kok, Mamah tau?” ask Andri.

“Tadi Aa who said that this child was called Maira,” replied Ms. Poppy.

“Come way, Well,” says Mother Poppy.

“Where are we going, nih?’ ask the confused Pak Budi.

“To Firas' house. This childhood we bring to study,” said Ms. Poppy.

Mr. Budi put his car into the yard of his son's house.

Poppy's mother got out of the car and into Firas' house.

“Assalamualaiikum,” said Mother Poppy when entering the house.

Aida came out from the house.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Aida replied.

“Please enter, Mom. Mr. Firas is going to the bathroom,” Aida said.

Aida takes Maira from Mother Poppy's sling.

“Please sit, Mom. Sorry to sit it down,” said Aida.

“Ana ecim, Mala?” ask Maira.

“Sama Om put in the kitchen,” replied Aida.

Budi and his children went into the house.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Mr. Budi.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Aida replied.

“Who are you?” ask Mr. Budi to Aida.

“I Aida, her maid Mr. Firas,” replied Aida.

“Oh, so you're Firas' maid?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Iya, Mom,” Aida replied.

“You stay here?” ask Mrs Pippy.

“No, Mom. I work here only on Saturdays and Sundays,” replied Aida.

“Oh, fast every Saturday and week Firas is not home. Apparently she's here,” said Ms. Poppy.

“What mom and dad want to make you drink?” ask Aida.

“Teh only,” replied Ms. Poppy.

“Good, Mom,” Aida went straight to the kitchen, but was suddenly called by Firas.

“Da! Make coffee for my dad!" firas.

“Good, Sir,” Aida replied.

Firas sat on the carpet with his parents and younger siblings.

“Dad should try coffee made by Aida. It feels good,” Firas said.

“Oh, yes? May also,” said Mr. Budi.

“Mas Wira also likes coffee made by Aida,” said Firas.

“Whatever Wira likes to come here?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Aida the office girl in Mas Wira's office,” Firas replied.

“Kok, can work here?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Long story, Mah,” replied Firas.

“Andri also want coffee,” Andri said.

“Sana said it herself to Aida,” replied Firas.

Andri immediately got up and headed straight to the kitchen. Shortly after, Andri returned with a packet of snacks.

“Andri, where can you snack from?” ask Salfa.

“From kitchen. Said Aida Tea can be taken,” replied Andri.

“Andri is a snack for Aida, why did you take it?” asked Firas in annoyance.

“Sama Aida Tea can be taken, kok,” replied Andri calmly.

Shortly after, Aida came with a drink. Maira followed her mama from behind while eating ice cream.

“Da, I asked for the snack,” said Salfa.

“Please, Ma'am,” Aida replied.

“I'm not married, Mom,” replied Aida.

“Keep that child, whose child?” ask Poppy's mother.

“I only live alone with Maira,” replied Aida.

“How much are you?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Sebilanteen years, Mom,” Aida replied.

“Still very young,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Labih Young from Salfa,” continued Ms. Poppy.

Firas told her parents everything about Aida.

“Your brain is narrow too, yes. Until he wants to kill himself,” said Mother Poppy after hearing the story of Firas.

“Whose parents' name?” ask Mr. Budi.

“My father is named Rardjo Handoko. My mother Maira Puspita,” replied Aida.

“So your Maira name is taken from your mother's name?” ask Firas.

“Iya, Sir. You know my dad?” ask Aida.

“Not me, but the late Papah Firas who knew your father,” replied Mr. Budi.
