Trapped by Young Mamah Charm

21. Be married?

Soon Aida returns with Maira.

“Hai, Maira. Here's the same Enin,” said Mother Poppy who sparkled when she saw Maira.

Poppy's mother took Maira from Aida's hand. Poppy's mother put Maira on her lap.

“What's up, anyway? How come he doesn't sound?” poppy asked while rubbing Maira's hair.

“Sedang watch television. Ida's mother is cooking, so watch television,” replied Aida.

“Again antennas disturbed, yes?” poppy asked while kissing Maira's cheek.

“Again what, anyway? How come you're not invited?” poppy asked again, kissing Maira's cheek.

Maira just kept quiet while watching Mother Poppy.

“Aida, sit here,” Mother Poppy said as she patted the sofa next to her.

Aida sat next to Poppy's mother.

“There's something I want to talk to you about,” said Ms. Poppy.

Aida silently listened to Mother Poppy's words.

“From now on you call me Auntie, don't call Mom!” mother Poppy said.

“Iya..Aunty,” Aida replied.

“You work at Firas' house and live there alone with Maira. Aunty think it's very dangerous,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Mah!” firas Sahut.

“Aa shut up first! Mamah is not done talking,” exclaimed Mother Poppy.

“Tante is afraid there's nothing with you two. Although Firas installed cctv everywhere, still can not keep you two,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Not to mention if any of our relatives or acquaintances who saw there were women and children at Firas' house, they will think you are Firas' mistress,” continued Ms. Poppy.

“Mah!” firas who disagreed with his mother's words.

“Shut! Mamah has not yet spoken!” exclaimed Mother Poppy while glaring.

“Dad,” said Firas who asked his father for help.

“Aa, just listen to your mama's words until it's done,” said Mr. Budi patiently.

“To avoid unwanted things, what if you two get married," said Ms. Poppy.

Aida and Firas were immediately shocked to hear that.

“Married?” ask Firas.

“Iya, married. You and Aida are married,” replied Mother Poppy.

Aida and Firas looked at each other immediately, they were confused by Mother Poppy's words. Mother Poppy's decision was absurd, but Mother Poppy also did not rashly take such a decision.

Let's flashback to a week ago.

Flashbacks.

“Yes, have you got any information about Aida's parents?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Already, Mah. Dad got the info from Tito his former papa assistant Aida,” replied Mr. Budi.

“What says Tito?” ask Poppy's mother curiously.

“Pak Rardjo and Ibu Maira died in an accident on the Cipularang toll road while returning from Bandung. Houses and companies are confiscated by banks to pay the company's debt at the bank. The other property was forced to be sold to pay employee severance. The only treasure left was Aida's car. Since then Aida has gone missing somewhere. Some say he committed suicide,” replied Mr. Budi.

“Pity of the boy. He is too young to face this heavy problem,”, said Ms. Poppy.

“Papah have you seen photos of Aida to Tito?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Already. Tito said it was a photo of Aida. In fact, said Tito the bank is looking for Aida,” said Mr. Budi.

“What other problems are there?” ask Poppy's mother curiously.

“They're looking for Aida about her mother's safe deposit. Actually Aida has been told about this, but until this moment Aida does not appear,” replied Mr. Budi.

“Maybe he was confused to forget to come to the bank,” said Ms. Poppy.

So Aida doesn't lie and she's not a con artist. He's a good boy, only he's been hit by a disaster. He takes care of the child he finds in the river like he takes care of his own biological child. Other people's children he cared for full of affection, let alone his own biological children, said Poppy's mother in her heart.

Flashback.

“Mamah, no wrong talking right?” firas asked in disbelief.

“No, Aa! You think Mamah is mabok?” poppy replied with annoyance.

“Mah, we are not lovers. Purely just the relationship of bosses and employees,” Firas said.

“But you treat your employees special. Indeed Mamah does not know,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Yes, Mom give you time to think. But don't be long!” exclaim Mother Poppy.

“Oh yes, another one before Mom and Dad forgot. Tomorrow Monday Aa has to take Aida to the central BNA Bank. To take safe deposit belonging to his mama Aida,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Safe deposit?” Aida thinks.

“Astagfirullahaladzim,’ said Aida while covering her mouth with her hands.

“Aida forgot,” says Aida.

“You are young but you are forgetful,” said Ms. Poppy.

“He's facing too many problems. It is natural that he forgets,” Pak Budi said to his wife.

Suddenly there was the sound of Adhan dzuhur.

“A, already adzan. Let's pray first in the mosque,” said Mr. Budi.

“Iya, Well,” replied Firas.

“Da, which mosque?” ask Firas.

“From here straight away, there will be a mosque on the left,” replied Aida.

“Mah, Dad pray first,” said Mr. Budi.

“Iya,” replied Ms. Poppy.

“Assalamualaikum,” Pak Budi and Firas out of Aida's house.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Aida and Ms Poppy.

After Firas and Pak Budi went to the mosque, Aida and Ms. Poppy prayed alternately.

“Tante want lunch with what?” ask Aida after the prayer.

“Are you cooked?” ask Poppy's mother.

Poppy's mother didn't see the cuisine on the dining table. He only saw a medium-sized pot on the stove.

“I only cook vegetable soup,” replied Aida.

“If Auntie wants to eat something later I buy,” said Aida.

“Here is any sale?” ask Poppy's mother.

“There are hodgepodge sales, chicken soto, meatballs, rice paddies, fried chicken, grilled chicken and warteg,” replied Aida.

Poppy's mother thought about choosing, all of a sudden…

“Assalamualaikum,” said Firas and Pak Budi.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Aida and Ms Poppy.

Budi and Firas enter Aida's house.

“Daddy want to eat the same?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Eat what, huh? Dad is confused,” replied Mr. Budi.

Poppy's mother mentioned the food that Aida had mentioned.

“Dad to hodgepodge,” replied Mr. Budi.

“Mamah gado-gado too,” says Ms. Poppy.

“Aa, what do you want?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Gado-gado too,” Firas replied.

“Maira eat what?” ask Mr. Budi.

“His mama, Maira eats soup,” replied Mother Poppy while kissing Maira's cheek.

Aida went into her room, and soon she came out.

“I buy gado-gado first,” say goodbye Aida.

“Why not order online?” ask Firas.

“Not necessary, Sir. Nearby, just a few houses from here,” replied Aida.

Aidapun go to the seller gado-gado. Maira looked at her mother who left.

“Maira here equals Enin,” says Ms. Poppy.

“Maira is hungry?” ask Poppy's mother.

Maira nodded.

“Enin get the food. Maira sits here with Om and Aki,” Mother Poppy sits Maira on the sofa. Then Poppy's mother went to the kitchen to get food for Maira.

Fifteen minutes later, Aida arrived with a black plastic bag containing hodgepodge.

“Tuh, Mamah has come home,” said Ms. Poppy while feeding Maira.

“Tante, let Aida alone feed Maira,” said Aida with a bad feeling.

“Nothing,” replied Ms. Poppy.

Aida took some plates and spoons in the kitchen and placed them on the table.

“Tante eat first, let my Maira feed,” said Aida.

Poppy's mother gives Maira's dinner plate to Aida, then Aida feeds Maira. Meanwhile, Poppy's mother, Mr. Budi and Firas eat hodgepodge.

“You didn't eat?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Later Aunt, I responded Maira first,” replied Aida.

“Nyuapi Maira can while eating,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Iya, Aunt,” Aida replied.

Aida followed Poppy's mother's orders.
