A Decision

What do they say?

I haven't answered Bimo in a week. I waited for the right time with the kids to talk to them. Come after that with my ex-in-law.

The Safari

Hour 09.00 WIB.

It just so happens that today is my day off. I deliberately took them to go on safari.

Today there's something I want to tell you about with both of them. What do they think of Bimo and whether the children agree that Bimo is a father for the children.

I will not force their will. Whatever the children's decisions are the most important. I just want happiness for me, for the kids.

****

At the safari, they both looked happy. A sweet smile was visible on both of them.

A laugh was coloring our holiday this time.

.

.

The three of us boarded the bus to get around to see the free-roaming animals.

"Bun, take a look. That tiger! There's more there!" Said Aisyah who was so excited about watching the animals from inside the car.

"Yes deck. You're happy!"

"Great pleasure! Thank you, bun!"

"Yes!"

If for Sisil, he has more Selvi to upload on his social media. This child is not far from his cell phone. The bit that is held and searched for is that one thing.

.

.

It doesn't feel right up to the last stop bus, enjoying the ride seeing animals roam free from inside the bus. Next is to enjoy some of the attractions of the animals are funny and relaxing.

I followed Aisyah who couldn't wait to watch it.

While Sisil was feeling tired, he just wanted to have lunch. But Aisha refused to eat. The two fought between brother and sister. But luckily they understood when I explained.

Sisil finally relented to follow his sister's will. Then later lunch.

****

All the attractions have been watched by children. Now is the time to fill the stomach that has been rumbling.

I took the children to lunch, which was not far from the restaurant.

The three of us sat down and ordered food and drinks.

While relaxing, I ventured to start talking about Bimo.

Before I begin, I say basmallah in my heart. That I may be given the ease to explain my intentions to the children.

Orders are coming. The waiter brought food and drinks for the three of us. Everything is placed on the table.

When the waiter was finished, he left.

I continued my conversation with the children.

"What do you think about Bimo?"

"Om Bimo good, baby.what else!!" Said Aisyah while thinking again about Bimo.

"If you are a brother, the answer is not much different from adek. But honey, he's not our father. Try if you're like Bimo. Thank goodness very much.."

Sisil said from the bottom of his heart. Sisil has grown up so understand how his father treated me, Sisil and Aisyah.

Then mommy wants to ask. "What do you think Dad means to you?"

"What?? Dad continues. What the hell did you keep that on?"

Aisyah has not understood the meaning of father connecting. All he knows is his stepfather. While continuing to think his hand remained holding the spoon and filled with rice and fried chicken.

"Father or stepfather means the same thing."

The crowded atmosphere instantly became silent. The children were silent, not knowing what they were thinking. I just keep watching both of them.

They looked down, not a word coming out of their mouths. Food that was once eaten with greed is now only played by spoons and forks, without being eaten.

"Ok.we switched the conversation just now. Looks like you two didn't agree that you got married again. Didn't you?"

No more answers. Everything looks the same as before.

"Hallo baby, you don't like to get married again. Ok! Mother will not force. Now, better finish the meal. Then we pray. What do you think?"

"So, it's done!" Said Sisil then got up from his seat and walked out.

Aisyah looked at her brother's departure.she understood it seemed Sisil did not like it if I married again.

"Bun, don't be sad. I'm not angry with you."

"Dear, my mother is not sad. You wait here. Mommy will pay first."

I went to the cashier to pay for food and drinks. After I finished, Aisyah and I went to catch up with Sisil outside.

I saw Sisil who had been waiting for me since. Then I walked closer to him.

"Sister, let's pray first."

Sisil followed my steps. The three of us walked towards a musholla not far from the restaurant.

The atmosphere of dimusholla was quite crowded. Because it is time to pray Dzuhur. Fortunately, I brought Mukena.

The three of us took ablution. After that, pray alternately. Because I only brought one face.

.

.

After finishing the dzuhur prayer, I took the children back to walk. Aisyah saw the game rides around the Indonesian safari park.

Aisyah jumped for joy, she was eager to climb into the game. Sisil has been silent since.

"Sister, want to ride the game no?" Ask me and see Sisil who shows his pouting face!

"No!"

"Yes Bun, oh!" Sela Aisyah who can not wait to enjoy the rides of the game!

I finally drove Aisyah to buy a game ticket. Sisil just sat there waiting.

.

.

Aisyah is content to enjoy all the games alone. Sisil is not.

On that occasion I approached Sisil and tried to chat with him.

"Sister, angry with mother?"

Both eyes of Sisil were staring at me. Then he said slowly. "No bun! I'm sorry, I was being disrespectful!"

"Then can you know why you're leaving just like that."

Sisil was silent for a moment then he continued his conversation. "Yes bun! It was just a shock. Actually, Bimo, well, polite. Keep religion!"

I'm a little calm! Sisil also liked Bimo. But ..if to be a father to them. I don't know it yet!

"What next?" I said with a racing heart!

"Not only afraid, if you get married. Your husband will not love me and my sister!"

Isdeg..

I heard those words coming out of the mouth of a little boy who was a little bit of a teenager. Fear is a natural thing! Same with me.

"Ehmm. big brother wants to know Bimo more deeply and want to give the same opportunity to Bimo!"

"I don't know if Bimo is good, but I'm scared!"

Sisil was silent not continuing his conversation! I'm not forcing him anymore. At least I will give the opportunity for the children to get to know the Bimo figure more deeply!

Enough I know who Bimo is in the eyes of the children!

It was getting late in the afternoon, so the three of us decided to go home in a taxi.
