Trying To Be Faithful

Mira's resignation

"Maas ...."

"Lake in."

Hasna opened the door to Raden's room after getting permission from the owner. Raden was standing in front of the window, staring straight ahead.

"Mas." Hasna rubbed Raden's upper arm. The man glanced at a glance, then looked back at the extremely bright sky.

"I feel disappointed in myself. What happened to Airlangga was purely my fault for not being able to educate children."

Hasna silently looked at her heart lover. He did not reply to Raden's words or try to comfort him. Hasna is aware, there are times when people talk just want to be heard, not given advice or solutions.

"When I decided to take care of them both, despite the opposition of the extended family, I was determined to make them children. Give them what they need. Giving love to a father as well as a mother. Maybe out there people look at me with disdain, respect, or judge me this authoritative. None of them knew that I was good at changing baby diapers. Bathing children, being clowns to them, even I crawled like a goat with them sitting on my back." Raden smiled proudly as well as happily considering the times in which Airlangga and Akhtia were small. He lowered his head as if smiling.

"I forgot that they needed a mother even though my affection was all over me" he said, staring at Hasna.

The woman tightly hugged Raden's trembling body. The man began to cry. He felt very sad because of his failure to educate Airlangga. While Achtia could only cry in silence, hearing the talk of her parents through the crack of the door that Hasna had forgotten to close.

Hasna let Raden pour out all his feelings that either since when he was alone. Until Raden's sobs subsided.

"Sorry" he whispered softly as he removed his body from Hasna's embrace. He rubbed his face wet with tears. Raden looked back.

"Mas, children's mistakes are not entirely our fault. Maybe the time and conditions are not right. Or a circle Airlangga that does not support. Don't blame yourself too much, Mom. Now is not the time to look for who is wrong and who is right, we think of solutions to the problems our children are facing."

"Hmm." Raden just muttered.

"I'm proud of you, Mom." Hasna leaned her head against Raden's hand. "I sometimes think why didn't we meet in the first place?"

"Humans must be taught a lesson first in order to realize something. Maybe you saw how great I was because you were once let down by other men. If your late husband was nice, you'd see me as normal."

"Whatever it is, obviously I hope we will be happy always in the future. I will be faithful to accompany you under any circumstances, unless you let me go."

"I won't let you go even if you want to."

Hasna smile. He held Raden's hand. Both of them looked at the beautiful sky of the creation of the divine.

...***...

"What else is it?" hasna asked the next day when she returned to work. His friends stood while speechlessly staring at Hasna.

"You want to stay away from me again? It's okay, we do each other's work even without greeting each other."

"Mba, we'd like to apologize." Riya ventured to start the conversation.

"You're apologizing for knowing I'm the restaurant owner's future wife?"

"Candidate?" ask Wartono.

"Yes, why? You're sorry that I haven't been Mr Raden's wife?"

"Bu-no, Mba. That's not what it means."

"Listen, I'm just getting married in ten days with Mr. Raden. I am not officially his wife. If you feel disinclined, then just keep that flavor for the next ten days. Now act like normal."

"Yes, Mba. We're sorry because yesterday we were also afraid of chef Andri."

"Andri is Mr. Raden's best friend, it's only natural that he wants to protect me. You guys think positive."

"Yes, Mba."

"Now let's work as usual."

They also disbanded. Hasna picked up the cleaning equipment, followed by Riya.

"Why did you come here?"

"Mba, Mba knows that Mira is resigning."

"Huh? Since when?"

"The turn was right after Chef Andri and chef Ragil fought it."

"Why did he resign? Have you tried calling?"

"The number is off."

"No. But if the address of the house seems to be in the workspace of Mr. Raden, all the employee data is there. Try a Mba check, which other people can, right?"

"Yes, later after I finish cleaning I try to find out. You'll take me to his house."

"Okay, Mba."

Although Hasna tried to keep herself busy with work, her mind was still on Mira. Hasna has yet to get an answer about who harassed her at work.

If Mira leaves, it is likely that the casualties will increase by one more. Oh, my God, Mira. Why don't you be honest, anyway. If that person harasses the others how?

"Mba, what's so bengong?" ask Udin.

"No, Din. Where are you going?"

"To the toilet."

"Oh, okay."

"Don't continue to daydream, put the possessed jinn iprit."

"Ngaco just you."

Udin laughed as he passed. Hasna sees the visitors are not too crowded, she decides to go into Raden's work room to find employee data at the restaurant.

"Where do I start looking, huh?" he asked when confused to see Raden's room. There's a big here, there's also quite a lot of drawers.

"I'll just start here, yeah." Hasna started opening the big closet. There are several large map stacks.

"It takes a long time to start one-on-one, it is also not necessarily employee data. Ah, true. I'll just call the guy and ask where the employee data is."

Hasna picked up the phone, then called Raden.

"Hello, Mas."

"Darling, what a coincidence you called. I just wanted to call you."

"What's up, Mom? Why worry about the tone?"

"I'll pick you up soon, you change your clothes."

"Yes, but why?"

"Women who claim to be pregnant by Airlangga come to the mother's house. Guess what happened."

"Oh God!"

"Therefore we must go, Airlangga is already there said Akhtia, I fear him why-why."

"I-iya, Mom. I'm changing clothes right now."

Hasna closed their conversation. He rushed out of Raden's room, changed his clothes then immediately ran forward.

"Mba Hasna why is that in such a hurry?" ask Riya.

"Oh, maybe something happened." Ivan answered.

"His name is also a mistress, be free she wants to do it too," Ohim said cynically.

"Eh, Sir. It doesn't matter if she's a mistress or not, but she's leaving in a hurry, there's no way there's anything, right?"

"Riya, even if she's just calm she's the boss's wife, your life is still more peaceful even though you're okay."

"Ih, people don't sympathize at all."

"Why, Riya? You want to lick Hasna because she's the future owner of this diner house?"

"Eh, Sir. Don't say yes by the way. Want me to blender it's mouth!"

"Ha ha ha. Now it's brave yes as I'm challenging Deket same mother boss."

Riya revolts when Iwan and Udin block her body. He shouted while cursing Ohim. I want it to feel like Riya beat up that little flustered cheque guy.
