Between Me and Your Mother

Go Again

"mas Reyhan? Why do you look so panicked?" asked Melati by holding a two-year-old little boy while walking towards her husband

"honey, I have to go, mom asked me to come there" replied Reyhan to put the phone in his pants pocket

"but mas? didn't you just get home? have you not yet taken a shower? I haven't eaten anything, have I?"

"yes baby, but this is about mom, mom just slipped in the bathroom. I can't let you be lonely and feel neglected. You know for yourself, don't you know that Dad is no more? I must be feeling lonely living home alone"

Yes, Sarah's mother was indeed a woman who was very spoiled by her husband since she was young.

The mother-in-law of Melati did not do any activities including housework. Because everything was done by Reyhan's father.

And now, after Reyhan's father passed away, Sarah's mother became very confused and neglected.

Because she was used to hanging her life on her husband. So inevitably, Reyhan is the one who currently has to replace the task of the father to take care of and care for his mother.

"yes, but at least fill a little belly. Just for a moment, taste the dishes I've made for you mas"

"honey, there's no time for that, mom needs me so much right now. I'm going" Reyhan said as he kissed the head of his wife

"oh yeah, don't forget to lock all the doors, because I didn't come home tonight" Reyhan continued, then disappeared behind the door

While Melati, she could only look at her husband's departure with a circle of tears that had suddenly fallen and soaked her smooth cheeks.

But as soon as possible Melati wiped away those tears quickly. He could only sigh heavily and exhale roughly.

I can't be selfish, I have to accept Reyhan's decision.

Should I be happy if Reyhan is so devoted to his mother? That means Reyhan's a really good guy

Oh my..

I'm sorry for being so bad about my husband and mother-in-law

With an uncertain feeling, finally, inevitably Melati must accept Reyhan's decision again to stay at his mother's house.

And as much as possible, Melati shook her head slowly, she continued to expel the thoughts of strange thoughts that kept coming to fill her brain.

Slowly, he led his heavy steps to close and lock all the doors and windows that Reyhan had secured.

When she finished, Melati brought her sleeping son to the room.

Looking at the cute face of the little boy, Melati again shed her tears as she stroked the cheek of the peaceful two-year-old boy.

Yes, but his son is also sick. Ever since, his son has been asking for the whereabouts of his father. Maybe his son wants to go with his father.

But what's going on?

Instead of covering her son's heart a little, Reyhan still menomer unites her mother.

...***...

While in a different corner of the room, Reyhan was sitting and kneeling the legs of the mother who had given birth to him.

"Rey.."

"yes ma'am"

"why don't you just stay here with mom? Do you know this mother is old and often sick? can you leave me alone in this house?"

"mom needs you, too, Rey.. You're the son of the only mother. The son I am most proud of"

"but I still have Hanna. She's also a mother's son. Why don't you ask Hanna to take care of you too?"

"there's no way Rey could've gotten your sister married and had a baby, she'd have been very troubled"

"if indeed the mother does not want to bother the child's mother, the mother should be fitting we hire the services of a nurse to look after and care for the mother"

"mom doesn't want to be taken care of by nurse Rey!"

"yes, but why mom? why don't you want to be taken care of by a nurse?"

"already Rey! don't be busy looking for excuses. If you don't want to take care of me, just tell me frankly from now on!" snapped at the mother by turning her face away

"mom, why are you talking like that? Do you know? my little son is sick right now, he needs me too, but I still leave him to accompany mom. Does that still not show that I love my mom very much?"

Hearing the phrase from Reyhan who was willing to leave his son and wife tonight for his sake, certainly makes his own happiness for Sarah's mother.

He immediately got up, in a half-sitting position, Sarah's mother immediately hugged her child's body tightly. Likewise with Reyhan, he also returned a warm embrace from his mother.

And not long after, the mother was already asleep peacefully.

Seeing the mother who had fallen asleep, Reyhan also chose to go into his room first. Room where he never slept again after marrying Melati.

Reyhan slammed his tired body on a big soft bed. His eyes looked at the sky of the room. But his mind just floated somewhere.

Jasmine..

Reyhan murmured while imagining the beautiful face of his wife. A little wife who is always patient and always obeys whatever she says.

Yeah, Reyhan never imagined he'd love that girl. The girl who became his son's classmate first.

Not friends, rather is a fighting partner. Because in the past, every time at school, Melati and her daughter were often involved in fights in any case. Both are often called BP because of their actions.

In the past, Reyhan did not like Melati at all. It could also be said to hate the boy even more.

But because of the frequent encounter with his son's enemies, and often Melati taught his love, over time the seeds of love began to grow in Reyhan's heart.

And finally, Reyhan decided to marry Melati although initially full of debate and controversy with the princess.

...***...

While Melati who just closed her eyes suddenly had to wake up again when she heard someone knocking on her door tonight.

With a lunglai, Melati stepped up her legs to see who was visiting this evening. Because she was convinced that the one behind the door was not her husband.

"Reyna?"

"hi stepmom"
