Between Love and the Mafia
30. Oma's Spirit

Bara averted his gaze as he momentarily relaxed in the living room while holding a laptop. Bela's voice made Bara eliminate his focus and immediately looked directly at Bela and Mario.

"I can teach you" Bara said as he snatched Bela's book.

"really? But this is hard enough" Sahut Bela does not believe in Bara's ability.

"I can help you finish this" Bara said with a very high look of confidence.

"All right, Mario. I'll study with you later" Bela left Mario and went to sit with Bara. It caused disappointment in Mario because he could not learn with Bela.

Bela immediately followed Bara sitting on the sofa in front of the television. He noticed Bara who was busy reading math problems. The gaze of Bela probing did not believe Bara, because he would just turn back the book.

While Bara was struggling with his brain, he thought he kept wondering to finish that math. How can he do it when he was in school he often skipped and rarely went to math class.

"Damn, why is this math so hard. There was no such matter in my day" Inner Bara was increasingly confused to see the matter in front of him.

There's nothing about what he can. It seemed like this time he had to budge with his sister. Because Mario is one of the children who has intelligence in this family, but he is not as brave as Bara.

While Bara can only fight and fight what he thinks is beyond his wishes. But very weak in education. Because her job at school is to take her out of lessons.

"Hows it? Can't it, can it? I guessed it. Here let me just study with Mario" Bela immediately grabbed his book and walked.

"It's not impossible, but this problem is not the same as my old problem" Bara looked for answers to cover her weak brain.

"Our time is different, and your school is past" Bela said casually.

Classy Sahutan made everyone who heard in the house hold a laugh. Even the servant who was cleaning in front of them, left immediately out of fear when seen laughing in front of the young master.

Sometimes it is also true Bela's speech, the times have changed and Bara still equates the time he was in school with the present. It's clearly very different.

"We study there" Invite Mario to Bela to study in the living room.

"Don't, it will disturb the ruler who is at work" he said.

She doesn't want Mario to study at a table near Bara for fear that her husband is distracted and makes her angry. So Bela directs to study in the front garden.

But that makes Bara more disturbed, he will not let Bela and Mario learn together without supervision. Finally Bara prevents them both from getting out of the house and enjoying their togetherness without anyone.

"Not go out, study here. I won't bother you" Bara said, stressing that Mario and Bela don't study outside.

"My husband, if I'm too noisy then it can bother you. So it's best for me and Mario to study there" Bela said gently.

"No, once again you step up then I will give you punishment" he said.

Mario could not bear if Bela was hurt by his brother, so Mario tried to invite Bela to obey the rules and orders of his brother. Finally Bela wanted to follow Mario and they studied in the same room.

"Alright, because this is your request Mario so I obey" Bela said.

"This kid, it always pisses me off" Bara's gaze grew more probing, he wouldn't be able to concentrate as long as they studied like someone who had known him for a long time.

Bela and Mario look so familiar, they learn while laughing when Bela wrongly answered the question. Several times Bela looks confused but Mario patiently teaches her.

The two teenagers are engrossed in their world of mathematics. But they forget that there are still burning gazes when they see the intimacy in learning it.

*brak* book thrown off on purpose. Bara just wants to stop the peace and comfort between Bela and Mario.

"What's wrong, why so much noise? " Task Bela to Bara.

"Give me a coffee" he said.

"There's a waiter" Bela said, pointing at the waiter around the corner.

"My wife is you, not the waiter" Still Bara wants Bela to make coffee instead of the waiter.

Bela calmly walked into the kitchen even though her face looked sullen. He knows that Bara doesn't like it when he studies with Mario. It was already clearly emblazoned from the frowny forehead gaze when he saw the two of them chatting peacefully.

Actually Mario is also uncomfortable with Bara's behavior that is always disturbing when they both learn. It was often done by his eldest brother. There are many ways to keep Bela away from Mario.

"Here's the coffee, I want to learn" Bela gave me a cup of coffee and then sat down next to Mario.

"Eitsss wait a minute, get me a snack" Bara did a lot to keep Bela busy.

"Can't that leg still be used? " Ask Bela while pointing to Bara's feet. Apparently Bela was already very upset because Bara pranked himself.

"You are my wife" Bara said.

"Alright" Lazily Bela walked towards the refrigerator. Take some snacks that are there.

"What a shit, he always bullied me to be with Mario. I also want to be smart like Mario but he is always looking for ways to disrupt my learning concentration" Bela murmured inwardly.

Now laziness comes back from Bela's mind. Because the focus is disturbed by Bara who always asks this and that to Bela with the name of a wife.

Like there is no more passion for Bela to learn. While sitting in front of Mario, he looked at a few questions. Not more happy, but even more dizzy because it seems like the matter is swaying.

"Don't continue if you are still dizzy thinking about it" said Mario when he saw Bela with a lethargic face.

"Right Mario, right now you're the only one who understands me. I'm really tired" he quipped as he glanced at Bara.

Finally Bela closed the book, then stood up and cleaned it all up. There is an idea hidden from him to escape the entanglement of Bara and be alone with Mario to learn many things with him.

Highlight Bara's eyes full of suspicion as he looked at Bela. He immediately closed the laptop and will follow the game done by his little wife.

"Mario, how about we just garden" Bela knows Bara doesn't like gardening, so she chooses to do that.

"Ah shit, I lost" Inner blBara gave up after hearing Bela's words.

As a child he almost died from running indistinctly when Denada gave an earthworm and put it in his shirt. Bara ran until almost hit by a car, and until now he hates earthworms.

"Good idea, I also want to garden again" said Mario.

Bela's lips flashed a smile as she looked at the unease from Bara's countenance. He knows that Bara doesn't like gardening. But Bela does not know for sure what causes Bara to hate the garden.

They could only see their familiarity. Because he couldn't possibly follow Bela walking into the garden just to see the familiarity that was adding to her sick day.

"My husband, don't you want to come with me?" Ask Bela in a soft tone full of meaning.

"No, go" he answered briefly.

Bela got out of the room and immediately walked out of the house with Mario. They went hand in hand, adding to the wrath of Bara's heart.

"Where are you going? " Amom asked when she saw Mario and Bela wanted out.

"Oma" All eyes were on the oma who had just come out of the room and called her granddaughter and daughter-in-law.

Oma came out without a wheelchair. The whole house was shocked to see the oma. The silent embers immediately moved and drew closer to the oma. He was afraid that his beloved oma would fall if there was no grip.

But oma rejected Bara and she chose to walk on her own. Although limped, but oma walked well slowly to the living room sofa.

Bela saw all that, her lips smiling with happiness. His eyes could not lie, his puddles were restrained and did not want to be let down by him.

"Oma, finally oma" Bela embraced oma with immense happiness.

While Bara and Mario are still silent in the questions that strike their own minds. No one knows for sure why you can stand up and walk on your own. It was impossible, but they saw the real thing.

They both studied from the tip of the foot of the oma to the tip of the hair. Belief is still confusing their minds because so far the oma has not wanted to stand and even the doctor said the leg of the oma has been declared paralyzed.

"Oma, how can it be..? " Task Bara.

"Oma can stand up and walk, is this a miracle of God? " Connect Mario.

Oma only smiled then gently stroked Bela's hair. Oma's smile was very warm, but still did not give an explanation to her two grandchildren who were wondering.

"Because this girl oma can walk again" said oma as she gently stroked Bela's hair back.

"No oma, this is all because of the spirit and hard work of oma" said Bela.

"She...? Asked Bara while pointing towards Bela.

Oma nodded in agreement.

Oma explained everything, from the beginning Bela gave input and encouragement so that he could walk again. Initially it was difficult but the longer the more change the situation and spirit of oma.

Every day Bela always to the room oma only to train and accompany the oma to learn to stand and then learn to walk. None of this house knows except Bela. And until at the end oma can stand like this.

"You taught oma but didn't tell me? What if the oma falls like it used to, what if the oma is wretched? Are you going to be responsible? " Snapped Bara with many questions on Bela.

Not that he was happy and grateful to Bela, but Bara scolded him for his great concern for the oma he loved so much. Moreover, Bara had seen Bela invite oma to stand and fell at that time in the garden.

Obviously the worry could not just disappear, Bara continued to yell and ask but Bela just fell silent and lowered her head.

Bela could only listen to Bara and could not refute him, because she knew that his behavior was indeed very dangerous to oma. Because no one knows what bad things will happen in the future.

"You scolded him? " A asked oma with an astonished look at her granddaughter.

"Yes oma, because she behaved like that to the oma without telling Bara. VlBara is very worried if he drops the oma again" Bara explained.

*plak* oma daubed head Bara.

"Oh, sick oma" Bara moaned.

"Feel, you should thank him, because little Bela has helped oma find a new life spirit" he explained.

Oma felt that way, because previously the oma self always felt bad over the departure of Denada very quickly. Even as Denada's smile disappeared, oma's smile also disappeared from everyday life.

And everything changed when Bela came to this house. Many strangers become accustomed. Many smiles are full in the house, which was originally just a silence that wrestled in the house of the Baratha family.

"You should thank this little girl. And oma is also grateful that she has become your wife" Oma continued very happily.

While Bela only forced to laugh and smile a little, because she was just a pretend wife without anyone knowing it.

Without many words Mario immediately reached out his hand to Bela to say a bigger thank you for making oma cheerful like she used to be again. And Bela is able to make the oma stand up again and have confidence for his life.

"I'm grateful to meet you in this house, maybe God sent you to be part of the Baratha family. And able to change this family for the better" Mario cried while shaking Bela's hand.

"No Mario, all this is because of time. Time will change you with the desire that is in the heart, so I am just an ordinary person who also follows the flow of life" Assert.

Again it makes Bara again jealous, the closeness of Mario always makes him feel uncomfortable. There was a fear stored in the depths of his heart even though he was unaware of it.

Every Bela close to Mario, it feels like the heart of embers staring anxiously. He did not want if the two of them continued to dissolve and would come closer together again. He always thought that Bela was his wife.

"Let go of your hand, don't shake him for long" Ketus Bara while forcibly releasing Mario and Bela's hands.

Bela just exhaled violently, wanting to feel like he laughed at the behavior of Bara always angry when he saw Mario close to him.

Whether intentional jealousy or not, but it is clear that Bara is jealous even though she never admits it. What a very strange and different thought from the others.
