43. Vivin Makes It

Firas car is on its way to the TB Simatupang toll road. Firas and Aida just came from Wonosobo. Tonight the motorway is quite crowded by cars and runs very slowly. Firas yawns from sleepiness. Firas glanced at the watch that was coiled around his wrist was already eight o'clock at night but he already felt very sleepy. Maira was fast asleep in Aida's lap. If Maira is not sleeping she must be upset to see the streets are jammed.

“You stay at home mommy! I cape once, so can't take you home,’ Firas said while driving.

“I take a taxi only, Kang,” Aida said.

Firas looked straight at him.

“Do not! Later you bother having to carry Maira who is sleeping. Not to mention your innate lot. Anyway it's late, dangerous if you take a taxi together with Maira. I slept at home Mom. Tomorrow I'll take you to the office!” exclaim Firas.

Aida breathed.

“Iya deh, Kang,” said Aida.

“Well, so dong. Nurut same prospective husband,” said Firas.

“Kan new candidate. Not yet a husband,” Aida said.

“But have to learn to massage with prospective husband!” exclaim Firas while focusing on driving the car.

“Yes, his good luck. If what is not good Aida does not want to recede,” replied Aida.

Firas turned to Aida.

“If what's not okay it's like, huh Da?” ask Firas curiously.

“No know. Think of it yourself,” replied Aida while pouting.

Firas laughed as he ruffled Aida's hair. Firas steers his car off the highway to Prapanca. Firas had gone through the outer ring toll to drive Aida back to Tanah Kusir. But because the highway is jammed and Aida agrees to stay at Firas's parents' house. He immediately steered his car out of the toll road to Kebayoran Baru through Prapanca.

When she reached Firas's parents' house, Aida was immediately greeted by Poppy's mother. Aida got out of the car while carrying Maira.

“Maira sleeping?” ask Poppy's mother.

“Iya, Aunt,” Aida replied.

“Directly take it to the room,” Mother Poppy first way to the guest room.

Poppy's mother opened the room door to make it easier for Aida to enter the room. Aida put Maira to bed. But when placed on the bed, Maira immediately woke up. Maira looked at Aida and then at Poppy's mother.

“Hai, already awake?” poppy's mother asked Maira.

“Mama, au peed,” says Maira.

“Let's pee,” Aida woke Maira from the bed.

“All you take a shower,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Iya, Aunt,” Aida replied.

Aida takes Maira to the bathroom. After Maira finished the bath, it was Aida's turn to take a bath. When Aida came out of the bathroom, Poppy's mother went into Aida's room.

“You eat first! Aunty has prepared her food,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Iya, Aunt,” Aida replied.

Aida took Maira out of the room. In the dining room there was already Firas who was having dinner.

“Eh, Maira is awake,” Firas said seeing Aida coming with Maira.

“Pulled to bed instantly wake up,” says Ms. Poppy.

“Let's eat first. Aunty and Om had already eaten,” said Ms. Poppy.

Aida sat next to Firas.

“Maira, eat it fed Enin, yes! Poor mama is hungry,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Iya,” Maira replied.

Maira eats being fed by Mother Poppy, so Aida eats quietly.

“How about your visit to the home of Pakde Purnomo and Bude Sekar?” ask Poppy's mother while feeding Maira.

“Alhamdullilah, they want to accept the arrival of Aida,” replied Aida.

Aida told Poppy's mother everything.

“Alhamdullilah,” said Ms. Poppy when she heard Aida's story.

“But Aunt, Akang Firas so have to spend a lot of money for Pakde and Bude fare to Jakarta,” said Aida.

“Already let it go. You have a lot of money, don't think!” answer Mother Poppy.

“In addition the money if not for you, for whom else?” mother Poppy said.

Suddenly Salfa came down from the top floor and approached Firas.

“Aa, this is Vivin to say the same Aa!” Salfa gave his phone to Firas.

Firas frowned.

“What do you say? Aa has nothing to do with him. He is your friend not Aa,” said Firas.

“He was angry because Aa wanted to marry Aida instead of marrying her,” said Salfa.

“Likes Aa, want to marry anyone. No business with Vivin,” Firas said.

“Vivin threatens to make Aa company bankrupt if Aa does not want to marry him,” said Salfa.

Poppy's mother was upset by Vivin's words delivered by Salfa.

“Salfa, the phone is still connected with Vivin?” poppy asked in annoyance.

“Iya, Mah,” replied Salfa.

“Turn off!” exclaim Mother Poppy.

“But, Mahhh,” Salfa has not finished talking directly interrupted by Mother Poppy.

“Turn off!” exclaim Mother Poppy once again.

“Iya, Mah,” Salfa instantly turned off his phone.

“Mamah doesn't want Vivin to come to this house again! Who is he? Dare to threaten Aa you,” said Ms. Poppy.

“Salfa, there is something you should know about Vivin,” Firas said.

Firas looked at the family room.

“Dad! Someone wants Firas to talk to Dad,” Firas called Mr. Budi who was watching the news.

Mr. Budi got up and approached Firas.

“Aa want to talk what?” ask Mr. Budi.

“Dad sit down first!” firas.

Mr. Budi sat next to Ms. Poppy.

“I'm the same Maira to the room first,” Aida.

Aida felt she should not listen to Firas and his family's conversation. Firas held Aida's hand.

“No need! You stay here, because you need to know this!” firas.

Aida sat down.

“Mah, Maira,” whispered Firas to Mother Poppy.

“Maira, please get Enin's phone in the room! Her phone is near the bed,” said Ms Poppy.

“Iya, Nin,” Maira directly get off the chair and go to Mother Poppy's room.

“Mah, indeed Maira can open the door of Mamah's room?” ask Salfa.

“Can. But long,” replied Mother Poppy.

“Tadi Aa want to talk what?” ask Poppy's mother.

“About Vivin. Vivin ishhh,” Firas stopped talking.

“Birth Mother Maira,” Firas continued.

“What?” said everyone in the room.

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

“Vivin is Maira's birth mother,” Firas said once again.

“Aa know where?” is from ask Salfa.

“Pak Ricky who told this to Aa,” Ricky replied.

Hearing Firas' words, Aida was immediately grieved. He's afraid Vivin took Maira.

“You need not be afraid! Vivin won't take Maira. He doesn't want Maira. He already dumped Maira,” Firas said.

“So all this time Maira has met her biological mother. How could you throw your own child away,” said Aida while shedding tears.

“If Vivin doesn't throw Maira away, you'll kill yourself. I can't see you,” Firas said.

“Idihhh, Aa still had time to digombalin Aida,” said Salfa.

“Ngak nothing ngegombalin his own wife. Not a gombalin prospective wife of others,” said Firas.

“Aa know from where if Vivin Maira's birth mother?” ask Mr. Budi.

“From Mr. Ricky,” replied Firas.

“There should be black evidence above white that Vivin is the biological mother of Maira,” said Mr. Budi.

“Beres it mah, Well,” said Firas.

Firas turned to Salfa.

“Salfa!” call Firas while grinning.

“Aa wants to tell Salfa, huh? Salfa does not want to!” exciting Salfa.

Firas swiped his index and thumb together.

“How much do you pay?” ask Salfa.

“Two hundred thousand?” ask Firas.

“Less!” answer Salfa.

“How much do you want?” ask Firas.

“Five hundred thousand,” replied Salfa.

“OK, deal!” Firas invited Salfa salaman.

“Let's go. Aa want to tell me what?” ask Salfa.

“Take Vivin's hair or nails! It doesn't take much as long as it's enough for a DNA test,” replied Firas.

“No, ah! Difficult,” Salfa said.

“After all, Salfa suddenly turned off his phone. He must be angry with Salfa,” Salfa said.

“Aa addin, deh,” Firas said.

“Why don't you ask yourself to Vivin? He would have been happy to give it to Aa,” asked Salfa.

“No, ah. Later he ge-er,” Firas replied.

“Ya already, Aa tell Bi Sur only. Aa will give one million to Bi Sur,” said Firas.

“Bi Sur assistant Vivin?” ask Salfa.

“Iya. Is there another Bi Sur?” answer Firas.

“Kok Aa know that Vivin maid named Bi Sur?” ask Salfa.

“Dikasih know Mr. Ricky,” replied Firas.

Suddenly Maira comes while carrying Poppy's mother's cell phone.

“Nin, thisi,” Maira gives phone to Mother Poppy.

“Thank you, baby,” said Ms. Poppy while taking her phone from Maira's hand.

Maira got on the chair.

“We continue eating,” Mother Poppy feeds Maira.

“Remember father's message, find proof first! Don't just accuse!” said Mr. Budi.

“Good dad,” replied Firas.

Mr. Budi returned to the family room to continue watching television. Firas called Ricky. While waiting for her phone to be answered by Ricky, Firas walks to the back porch of the house. He did not want his talk to be heard by Maira.

Aida feels bad for the Firas family, all the roots of the problem start from the arrival of her and Maira.

“Aida apologise. If Aida does not meet Akang, everything will not be like this,” Aida said regretfully.

“This is not your fault! However, this child must know who his birth mother is,” replied Ms. Poppy.

Aida looked towards Maira, the child was eating while playing the tablecloth.

O Allah, give your best to Maira, Aida said in her heart.

Soon after, Firas arrived.

“Bi Sur has been contacted and he wants to help us. Later he will contact Aa if all his employers have left,” said Firas.

Firas rubbed Maira's hair.

“Eat a lot, make it big fast,” Firas told Maira.

Maira nodded while chewing the food. Firas sat next to Aida.

“Spend your food! Don't daydream!” firas.

“Im sorry Aida. Because of Aida, Akang so bothered,” said Aida while shedding tears.

“Have it, don't be sad! It's not all your fault!” firas said as he rubbed Aida's back.

“After all when he grows up later he must know who the parents are,” whispered Firas.

“Already, don't cry anymore!” firas.

Aida wiped her cheek with a tissue and continued eating.
