Eps. 36 Early meetings
"Mother? Why is it here?" Faiz asked so successfully mastering himself from his shock.
"Who came bun-da?...." Tia asked who had just come out of the bathroom
"Oh, so-" said Faiz hanging. His mind floated at the accidental meeting as he was waiting for the arrival of one of his friends who was a member of the familyspul-group at Boiland international airport.
***
"It's my mother, don't bother her." Faiz drove away several drivers who appeared to force an elderly woman who looked helpless when her suitcase became a material for airport drivers who were looking for passengers.
"Mom's okay? Nothing's missing, ma'am?" Faiz made sure the condition of the simple-looking old lady. His face looked a little scared because of the airport drivers.
"No, Son. Thanks." The 55-year-old woman named Zias replied.
"Why are you alone in this place?" Faiz asked out of pity as to why the Old Lady was left alone at the airport. And again, it looks like this is her first time to the Boiland international airport. Seen from the way he responded to the airport drivers.
"Mother is waiting for an invitation, son." He answered slowly to the child he thought was the same age as his son "What's his name?" Further
"Faiz, Mom." Respond politely. "Where's the mother's pick-up?
"Mother doesn't know either, son. This is your phone the network's gone." Mother Zi stared at her mobile screen with narrowed eyes.
"May I see, Mother?" Eventually Faiz called her mother because she kept calling herself that.
"If you meet the danger copet." Faiz comments because Mother Zi easily gave her phone to someone she just knew.
"Oh, this is still Mother's flying mode. That's why the network is gone." Clearly Faiz with a slight smile.
"Mother misunderstandings, son. It was her flight attendant who pulled. Mommy knows it's just a phone call and takes a phone call." Beber mother Zi.
"Try now her son's on the phone, Mother."
"Thank God it's connected." Mother Zi said when she was greeted from across
"Hallo, Mother." The voice from across
"Where is the mother? Sorry Tia just arrived. The road was jammed."
"Yes, Son. Its alright. This is Mommy already at the airport." Mother Zi replied with a calming tone
"Where's the mother next door? Let Tia come over there."
"Eemm.." - Look around - "Which part is this, son Faiz?" As Mother Zi was puzzled to answer Tia's question so she asked Faiz.
"Let me explain, Mother." The 1.15-inch phone changed hands
"Hallo, your mother is with me." Obviously Faiz "We are in the arrivals area. Where are you at?"
"I'm still in the parking lot." Tia who was overwhelmed with shock did not have time to ask who was with her mother there.
"OKs. Just hang. Let us go there." Faiz closed his phone
Carefully Faiz led Mother Zi towards the parking lot. He carried a suitcase and grabbed the old woman's shoulder as she crossed the street.
"Mother." Tia waved her hand when she saw the mother from a distance.
"It looks like it's Mother's son." Mother Zi said with a big smile.
"Aaa Bundaaa." Tia immediately scattered the embrace.
"Remember, son."
Tia then let go of her embrace. However, after kissing her hands, Tia hugged her again. He even forgot that there was a man who was looking at his spoiled action.
A gnawing longing overcomes Tia's shame. Naturally, almost 3 months he separated from his mother. After taking the national High School exam, Tia immediately wandered to the city of Boiland to follow the guidance of studying at one of the trusted institutions - in preparation for the national selection to enter a well-known public university.
"Son, hug him later." Mother Zi said as she gently stroked Tia's back.
"Yes, mother." Tia wiped the clear liquid that almost soaked the mask she was wearing.
"Mother, then excuse me." Faiz
"Ah, no need Mother." Push down the delicate Faiz
"It's okay, son. It's for your cigarette money."
"Thank you Mother. But no, I don't smoke anyway."
"Thank you very much, Son Faiz."
"Just like Mother." He then returned to the passenger arrival area.
***
"It turns out the woman who used to wear the mask was Tia?" Faiz still can't stop thinking that the world is that narrow.
It is natural that Faiz did not pay attention to Tia because at that time she was still Khume's girlfriend. Faiz is indeed the type of man who keeps his eyes when he has a partner.
"Yes, Son Faiz. This is Tia Mother's child. When I met you at the airport." Mother Zi tried to recall Faiz.
"Tia, here son. We haven't had a chance to meet up yet, have we?" Mother Zi wanted to introduce her daughter to Faiz.
"We know each other Mother. We even have one class on campus." Faiz politely kissed her hand as the shock made her forget to say hello.
"Well, you're very happy to hear that. Come... Let's sit down first." Mother invited Faiz to sit in the living room. Don't forget to ask Tia to make a drink.
The two of them looked so cool chatting, like old friends who had just met. However, Faiz still maintained his attitude. He looked so respectful towards Mother Zi.
"Why come here again, anyway? Marry it said it won't come again." Tia glanced cynically as she placed the warm coffee before Faiz
"Thank you. Oh right, I'm here actually to take Tia to Mother's airport." Beber Faiz while throwing a smile at Tia.
Looks like Tia did not come home because of the arrival of the Mother.
"Tia's not coming home, Mommy's already here." Mother Zi sipped her warm milk again.
"But Mother did not expect that you were that close." Reciprocation
"Tid-" Tia's speech was instantly cut
"Of course, Mother. Recently we even hiked together, loh." Faiz excitedly told of their closeness.
"Oh, so you're climbing with Faiz? Why didn't you say?" Mother Zi looked so happy to hear Faiz's statement.
"We don't deck-" Again, Tia's speech is interrupted by Faiz
"Maybe Tia's still shy Mother."
"When Mother used to tell stories about Faiz, youh." Mother Zi
"Mother," - trying to stop Mother Zi - "better mother istrahat. Just arrived, must be tired." Tia was looking for the most appropriate reason
"But Mommy still wants a story with Nak Faiz."
"It's okay, Mother. I'll come back later." Faiz.
Jreeeng's words just succeeded in making Tia ride the black "What? Wanna come again? Ishi!!"
"Better Mother istrahat. Tia's going out for a minute with Faiz. Can, right?" Pinta Tia
"Of course you can, Mother is happy." Then he went into the room.
After Mother Zi disappeared behind the door, Faiz immediately asked a question. "Where are we going?"
"Follow it. We need to talk!" Tia started walking towards the parking lot
"alright. But you have to ride on my bike." Faiz made the conditions. It seemed like he had read what things Tia would discuss.
Tia went straight up on Faiz's motorbike without further ado
