That Other Woman, My Mother
42

Nayra had the face of sumringah while sitting at the dinner table this morning. He had no idea that last night anyone was uneasy thinking about the thing in the woman's hand. Ana that morning was not seen wandering around the dinner table— usually he brought food and take care of the dining table, Nayra kinda felt lost about it, at least he couldn't show off how extraordinary his life was now.

"Meri was transferred to the laundri this morning, Madam." Nurul explains why Nayra looks to find–search Nayra's favorite waitress. Nurul thinks so because Nayra always wanted Ana to serve him. "Every night he made a mistake."

Nayra nodded, although disappointed but there must be consideration about it.

"Boyle's Morning." Leo came directly to kiss Nayra on the forehead. Her face was as fresh as Nayra's this morning. "So we go to the bank today?"

Nayra who immediately embraced Leo's waist, nodded. He still enjoys the fact that last night they were both amazing. Nayra herself did not expect herself to be that wild after getting shrewd treatment from Leo.

"Milk coffee." Nayra. She could serve Leo as a wife, instead of Nurul.

"Yes, I want the cream reduced." Leo sat down and looked again at the bag that Nayra was going to take to the bank. Nayra swiftly stood up to prepare coffee for her husband.

The night before they finally wrestled in bed, Nayra proposed to keep all the securities in SDB, including the inheritance letter that Tahir's lawyer handed over at that time. Nayra has studied and concluded that besides cars and savings, Ana has nothing left. All the money that has been liquid so far can not Nayra ask for a replacement. Surely the two of them have been wasting their money to have fun.

Leo was fad to actually look at the inheritance letter. He just wanted to know how rich his wife was. And nothing is left out of every detail of the will.

His hand also itching to peek at the receipt of the sale and purchase of workshop— which yesterday he had seen a glimpse in the letter of the land. Leo pulled the book and opened it. The receipt is immediately displayed and Leo sees another paper below it when pulling the receipt. He took the paper, and Leo's eyes were made to almost fall looking at the writing on the head of the letter.

A letter of cause of death issued by a doctor tucked in the certificate of the workshop ground. Wow ... since when did this exist? Leo hurriedly read it. But he behaved normally so as not to provoke a commotion.

"Your father in this doctor's affidavit doesn't mention heart disease as the cause of death, Nay." Leo turned to look at Nayra who was shocked. Leo knew so. "Everything's in good shape, just tiredness being the trigger."

Nayra brought a smoky cup of milk coffee for Leo. He stretched out the cup and sat down again as he turned his head towards the sheet Leo was holding.

"Where are you?" Nayra's confused. He had seen and read the will many times, but did not find the paper.

"Here!" Leo pointed at the plastic cover of the will pile. "Something this one missed."

"So Papa died why?" Nayra narrowed to take a closer look at the paper whose writing was almost faded. "Said to take sedatives in unnatural quantities, is that right what this means?"

Nayra hardly believed in her own abilities. When he died, as Nayra remembered there was nothing strange, other than when he was brought home, even he could not see the state of the Papa for the last time. At that time, Nayra did not mind at all, there was her Mama Ana who always hugged her along with soft and soothing comfort words.

Leo is squinting. "It looks like the drug is specifically for people suffering from acute mental disorders— crazy people mean, I think your father accidentally drank it, Nay. Someone must have forced him to drink."

Nayra was silent in shock. His head turned around looking for awkwardness when his papa died. Could this be Mama Ana's doing? That's that as cool as he is?

"It's not that I'm making things worse, but maybe your stepmom did it." Leo and Nayra looked at each other. "But if you do, you can't put him in jail."

Nayra nodded and clasped Leo's hand. "But I can punish him, honey. Life must be paid for!"

Nayra has a big deal about this. It was her own hand that would punish Ana if the law could not prosecute.

***

After the bank, Nayra and Leo went to a seminar with Edo as speakers. Leo also gets an invitation so he invites Nayra. This is also the reason why he has not gone on a honeymoon, there are still some events that must be attended and indeed Leo is applying for a week off, according to the actual wedding schedule.

Nayra looked at the background behind the speaker's desk, then she pulled the corner of her lips. At least in this meeting, Nayra will meet with rival–rival who once dropped him.

Alena was certainly there with pride. He even had a wink at the table that was supposed to be occupied by Leo and Edo when his friend reminded him where he should be sitting. But who cares, right? This is a doctor, not a former doctor. He wanted to take a picture with Leo and show Nayra who won. Nayra is nothing compared to her. Leo must be easy to get into.

He was partying before the war started.

Nayra came in with Leo's arm. The two of them walked behind Edo who was wearing a gray suit. Everyone stood up and clapped, only Alena who was still faithfully sitting agape, unable to move her body.

"That's why it's there?" muttered Alena.

"I'm sorry, ma'am .. This is specifically for Doctor Leo and Mr. Edo." Alena was shocked to get a touch on the shoulder. He turned his head puzzledly towards the woman wearing the id card which indicated that she was the staff of this event. In other words, Alena had to move to her own seat. He should return to his starting position. He was subtly evicted while occupying the position of Nayra.

Alena threw her face away while snorting.

"I'm also a special person for Leo!" the woman insisted while crossing.

"The special one has been on Doctor Leo's side right now, ma'am .. sorry, please don't make this show so messy." The staff said again. He still held his voice as soft as possible.

Alena was stunned for a moment. There was no announcement of Nayra's arrival today. He thought, Leo came alone, and he wanted to slap Nayra's mouth with a picture of her being with Leo.

"They were married last night, didn't you know about that?" The staff asked because he was getting upset.

"What?! Married married?!" Alena turned her head with wide-eyed turns, and it was a bit of horror that the staff distanced themselves.

"Yes, Mom. Doctor Leo and Doctor Nayra were married last night."

Alena shock is not playing. The thing is to bring down Nayra, uh, now she's the one who's even slamming to death right now.

"Damn Nayra!" Alena satin with her hands clenched, and her lower lip was bitten hard. "Curtain start him!"
