Alena [My girlfriend was taken by my mother]

Season 2 Part 10

This dinner is so sweet. Not the food is sweet, but the atmosphere. Although our clothes were neither a pretty dress nor a fancy suit, it was just the shabby pajamas we had for years. This dinner was so special and fun.

The food presented is also very good, because in addition to the right spice, there is also a powder of love contained in it. Fortunately, until this candle light dinner ended, Tria had not yet returned home. So, I don't need to feel awkward about getting romantic moments at inappropriate times.

"Actually, what made Mas plan a romantic dinner like this?" ask me while cleaning up the rest of this dinner.

"First, my project that was lost yesterday was just tucked away. Second, I want to make my wife happy" she replied with a smile.

"I can accept the first reason and I congratulate the returned project" I replied like a boss talking to his men. "However, for the second reason I still question. Hasn't Alena been happy enough to be your wife?" ask me again in the same language.

"Hmm...does a husband not give more happiness to his wife?"

"Of course I'm not resisting," I answered then chuckled and moved the dirty dishes to the dishwasher.

"I know, you've been thinking a lot lately. Whether it was choosing between work and college, whether it was my problem with Tria and also the problem with Bu Ijah's talk."

"Mas always understood what I felt, yes" I said.

We spent the night alone focusing. We told her many things, ranging from the condition of the office after I resigned, stories about my college, and much more. He's the best man I've ever known. He can be a good listener and a good storyteller.

I am so confused, so far I have not found what the shortcomings are. Yes, no human is perfect. It's just that what I saw from him there was nothing bad in my eyes. Is this what is called blind love?

..

The thing that for now I do not like is to stay alone at home, while Mas Dwi has to go to the office. I'm unemployed and don't know what to spend time on. For this semester, my college hours started during the day, so I had to go alone to campus. After all the homework I've done, I don't know what else to do.

I just laid this body down on the couch, the sound of children calling my name from outside.

"Tante Lena!"

"Aante!"

From the sound of his voice, there seemed to be more than one child. Immediately I opened the front door and saw three small children in uniform standing in front of the gate. I approached them too.

"Eh, there's Rino. What's up, huh?" I asked Rino who I knew.

"I'm Elika, Auntie" said a child with shoulder-length hair who introduced himself.

"Erika, Aunt. Not Elika. He can't say 'r', '" Rino said. A look of annoyance on Erika's face.

"Keep if you what's his name?" ask me of someone else.

"I'm Erina, Auntie," replied the boy. A similar name.

"So, Rino, Erika and Erina are here no need what? Don't you have to go to school, do you?" ask again.

"Say Lino, Auntie's got a lot of toys. So, can we go back to school and play?" ask Erika.

"Well, if it's noon Auntie goes, what if it's afternoon? So, you guys take a nap first," I said giving an option.

"Author clock, Auntie?" ask Erika again. Although he looked the smallest but Erika was the most chatty among the others.

"Mmm ... what 4 hours?"

"Okay, Auntie! At 4 o'clock we come here!" exciting Erina.

This time Erina was excited. Rino and Erika applaud each other. It seemed that they were both very happy to be allowed to play into this house.

"Yes, but don't forget your parents' permission!" reminded me.

"Ready, Auntie! We go to school first, yeah!" rino said in spirit while giving his right hand.

I understand, he asked for salim. I gave my hand to him too. He immediately kissed the back of my hand with his left cheek. Erika and Erina followed what Rino did.

'Really smart good kids, ' my inner self.

"Cadaver! Be careful on the road!" my reply.

They went to school on foot. Near this complex there is indeed an elementary school building, only I do not know if it is their school building or not. If one of them were my son, he would be very happy to have many friends in his neighborhood.

Considering that later in the afternoon the children were going to play in this house, of course I have to prepare food for them. I saw the stock of raw materials in the food cabinet, only I found 4 sachets of mango pudding. Maybe later I can just make pudding for them, after all the children usually like sweet foods.

"So, any time?" ask Tria who is now standing behind me.

"Oh, yes" I replied. I thought he wasn't home. He sat in one of the chairs, and I followed him.

"Did Mas Dwi ever say anything about me?" ask her directly at the core of the conversation. I'm shaking.

"Mas Dwi just said that you were his business. Well, actually I'm not comfortable, but I haven't found the right time to talk to you."

"I don't feel at home, you live in this house" he said surprised me.

"Why? Is it because I live here?" many spontaneous. Because as far as I can see, the relationship between these brothers is safe before I get married.

"No, Brother. It's not the fault, brother. But indeed our family who has not been well for a long time" he replied then lowered his head.

"Do you need a story place? I'm ready to listen" I said, rubbing her shoulder.

"I ... I miss Julia," he said stammeringly. I feel the sound vibrate. Too bad, maybe he was close enough to his sister. I approached and hugged her slowly.

"Although I don't know Sister Julia yet, but I'm sure she's a good person."

"But everyone consider Kak Julia an ungodly child, sister. Everyone thinks Julia's a bad example" he replied. Now he starts hiccups.

"Cry! No one is arrested!" I said with my hands still rubbing his back.

Tria immediately hugged me back, her crying became more and more. I felt a tightness that he had long since been craving. I let him cry as much as possible so that the feeling of his wheezing all this time can come out. He hasn't said anything for a few minutes. Until finally he let go of his embrace and wiped his own tears.

"You have much, brother. Before the same brother, I can only pendam all by myself. The selfish Dwi Mas can only forbid without caring about what I have been doing all this time" he said with the rest of his tears.

"really so? Isn't Mas Dwi the one who cares so much?" many wonder. His statement did not match what I had known all along.

"Yes, that's basically true, brother. But if the problem concerns Julia, it all looks wrong and I'm affected."

According to the story, Mas Dwi much limit the activities of Tria. A lot of what Tria did was wrong in Mas Dwi's eyes. Because the benchmark Mas Dwi is Kak Julia who is already known as a bad example in this family.

I don't know the truth yet, because I just heard from one side. I have not heard from Sister Julia herself, so I do not want to judge someone just from someone else's story. Even though the one who told me was my own husband.

I can only support Tria as a sister who encourages her sister. Her crying subsided, now I can see her smile that had disappeared for a few days.

"What time is college?" she asked after her crying disappeared completely.

"Four 10, if you?"

"Same. Yeah, we're together, yeah! I have a spare helmet," he offered.

"Nerepotin anyways?" my many.

"No, Brother. Our campus is in the same direction."

"Oh yeah, maybe if so. Have you had breakfast?" I asked to remember that I only had breakfast with Mas Dwi. He shook.

"Gih hope! Last Sister cooked stir-fried long beans mixed tempe. Doyan no?" my many.

"Doyan really, Brother. Mama used to cook it a lot," she replied.

Then he took his breakfast. My mind is becoming calmer now. Tria slowly started to open up to me. I am grateful to be here at this time. Because I won't let him feel what I felt first. They are worse off without knowing where to run. Even if I'm not the best, I will do everything I can to help him get better.
