Meet Mom

The next day.

The clock showed half past eight, Salsa had been up since six in the morning, and she had to be dragged by Devid to get up from her bed.

.and he also didn't realize that last night he slept with Devid, before Salsa woke up, Devid got up first to wake up Salsa who was still fast asleep.

~

Inside the car, there was silence, only the blowing of the AC pierced into the bone accompanying every trip. .salsa glanced briefly at Devid who was focused on his cellphone screen. He wanted to ask where he was going today.

But doubts enveloped his heart, making him have to give up his intention to ask. He could only quietly enjoy the journey. with head down...His eyes seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, even if only for a moment. Because he was afraid that Devid would be angry he forced his eyes to stay open.

Soon the car stopped right in front of Salsa's house. He still lowered his head either asleep or just looking down. ." Hey, get down quickly," said Devid in a high tone. But not considered by Salsa.

"Hey, are you sleeping? Do you want to come down?" Devid's loud voice made him suddenly wake up from his sleep.

"Uh yeah. What's wrong?" Said Salsa still in a confused position. Devid was just silent not paying attention to Salsa's words.

."Here, people are asked to shut up." Salsa muttered quietly, she glanced at the surrounding scenery that looked very familiar in her eyes.

"House?" Salsa was surprised when Devid took her home, without asking any further, she rushed out of the car in a hurry to the door of her house.

."Knock..tok..tok.."

"Mom I'm home" Salsa shouted booming into the house. Making his mother immediately run to open the door of his house.

"Salsa .." He immediately hugged his child's tiny body in front of him.

."I'm sorry mother, son, for making you like this," concluded his mother, accompanied by tears that had already wetted her cheeks.

"It's okay Buk. Besides, I'm fine too, right?" said Salsa with a bright smile, glancing briefly at Devid.

" Sir.." .who said salsa's mother bent her body.

Devi just replied with a faint smile. It was as if he was forcing himself to smile.

"Oo. Let's go in." The mother pulled her son's hand, to enter their small house.

"Sorry the host is small and very ugly..must be far compared to the master's palace," concluded Mrs. Salsa, trying to be humble with the shame of having to talk about her situation.

"No problem" David replied flatly.

"Sir, what do you want to drink?" Ask Devid salsa's mother.

" No need...I'm here to be honest if from today I will take him to live with me" said Devid casually. Without the slightest expression on his face.

"And now you hurry up and grab your valuables..and remember not to bring you." continued Devid to Salsa with a cold look.

The salsa looks pissed off. Still just sitting down he had told him to quickly pack his things. He stomped his foot walking with a monitor look. .he pursed his lips walking away from the living room to his room.

"Brother," said his sister running hugging his legs. Because he was still small, he couldn't hug his brother's body, which was much taller than him.

."Gio" Salsa sat squatting, tears slowly dripping down seeing her little sister. He hugged his little brother tightly. Even now he couldn't take care of her anymore. To remind him when he was naughty.

"Brother, why are you crying?" Gio said innocently, gently wiping his sister's tears.

."Did the front man hurt you?" Gio's innocent words glanced at Devid. The cold man sat quietly in the living room.

"Gio, brother, it's okay. Now you have to clean up your things first." Salsa carried her sister's hand into her room...He stared at his favorite room for a moment. He couldn't hold back his tears anymore, now he had to leave the room he had lived in for a dozen years. This is where the laughter with the family takes place. Now he had to go to a new house that was far different from his...I don't know what will make him happy later.

Salsa dragged her feet toward the cupboard in front of her. He just took a bag and carried the bare necessities. .Memories with his family and at first glance brought up the piggy bank that his father had given him until now, which he still keeps and doesn't want to break at all.

Salsa hesitantly walked over to her desk. He looked at the textbook in front of him. ."Can I not touch this anymore" he muttered holding the details of each book on his desk.

The woman sighed for a moment. Walked to tidy up all the things he needed to carry into his small bag.

"Where are you going, brother? Who will take care of Gio, Sis... I beg you, don't go..stay here with Gio. Poor mother, you have to sell and take care of Gio later" the younger brother sobbed and pulled Salsa's leg, which made him unable to look at his sister. Tears began to flow down her smooth cheeks.

.salsa hugged her sister tightly, expressing her longing for later it would be very difficult to meet her.

"Brother won't go far, so once in a while, brother will come here to visit mom and Gio," said Salsa, holding Gio's shoulders with the back of her right hand wiping her tears.

."Promise ya brother don't forget to come home later," Gio said innocently.

"Sure, Gio, don't be naughty, you have to help mom," concluded Salsa, getting up and leading Gio to walk to the front of the living room.

"Why did it take so long?" he said coldly. .stood up from the living room to the front of the house.

Salsa sighed holding back her emotions. Listen to David's words. "Gio, brother, go first," said Salsa, patting Gio's shoulder.

"Mom I'm going first," He said hugging his mother tightly who was right next to Gio.

"You have to be careful..and take care of your health" concluded her mother slowly releasing her arms. Tears flooded the room.

Salsa kept shedding tears walking slowly away from Gio and his mother. He saw Gio keep calling his name to stop him from leaving but his mother hugged him tightly...Seeing him have to leave the house was very painful. He couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Seeing his little family continue to stare at him with tears already running down their cheeks.

"Why are you still standing there..get up quickly" snapped Devid making him quickly get into Devid's luxury car.

"Wipe your tears. I don't want to see a crybaby" said Devid with a cold stare. He was so cold to even smile as if his mouth was really heavy. .salsa wiped her tears with the backs of her hands and tried to smile waving at her sister and mother.

Slowly the car began to drive away from the composition of Salsa's house. The woman glanced briefly at Devid who just remained silent without saying a word to him. .just don't look at him.

I don't know where else to take him where he goes by Devid. His mind is unpredictable. On the outside, he looks very cold and arrogant. But whether in his heart there is still pity or not he also does not know.

.salsa just silent until counting the day her wedding will begin soon. He wasn't ready to get married. And what will his school friends say later? He couldn't imagine it all.

.soon the sound of his cell phone ringing made the silent sound in the car seem lost with the dial tone belonging to Devid's cell phone.

"Hi, honey. Where are you now?"

"Looks like he's on a video call with his girlfriend," Salsa mumbled quietly so that Devid beside her could not hear.

" Yes, What's up?" .said Devid ignorant. It seems that he is used to being indifferent to anyone.

"I want you to accompany me tonight. I miss you" Said the woman with a coquettishly teasing Devid.

"I can't maybe later after I get married I will meet you. Now let's keep our distance first..if the reporters find out then all our plans will be disbanded" said Devid glancing at Salsa who was staring at the outside scenery without paying attention to their chat.

"Yeah alright..you send my money now, yes I want to go shopping" he concluded with a coquettish tone making Salsa beside Devid hear him roll his eyes lazily. He seemed to be mumbling with his lips imitating the woman's speaking style.

"Okay, I'll send it later," said Devid ignorant ending the video call.

.he looked back at the front without looking at the beautiful girl beside him.

"Master where are we going?" Driver asked her.

"Home" was the short answer.

"Okay," The driver immediately drove to the left towards Devid's house. .looks like today he didn't go to the office instead to accompany the little girl so that she would kneel to him and not reveal everything to reporters...
