Father's Choice of Sort

Mother's Home

The rest of their journey was silent to each other. Sandra wondered in her heart, is there really no relationship between her husband and Rena ? Why would Alfian argue that, but if they don't come back...., why did they look so time-friendly in the elevator ? Ah, you guys ! Whatever. Sandra doesn't bother with that . Today she is going to meet her mother so she has to look happy.

" Ashall you know ?" Alfian said his greetings when they reached the door of Bu Lastri's house.

" Mom.mom...." Shouted Sandra who was impatient.

" Wa'alaikum...." Reply Bu Lastri who emerged from behind the fence . It turned out that Bu Lastri had run out of the stall .

" nalex .... " said Miss Lastri happily. Sandra approached her mother and hugged her tightly. Miss Lastri kissed Sandra's entire face with affection. Alfian smiled at the sight. Now he knows, no matter how big we are, no matter how old we are. We are still considered as the most beloved children for parents.

" Now Al is coming too ? What is this ? Tumben you guys are coming... Not giving news first. I haven't prepared anything yet." Miss Lastri.

Alfian shook his mother-in-law's hand and smiled.

" It's all Mas Al Bu's plan, Sandra's been told it's also just last night." Sandra said honestly.

" Oya .. Yes let's go in first.. " Said Bu Lastri took her son and daughter-in-law into the house.

Alfian did not immediately enter, he returned to the car and took some souvenirs that he had prepared beforehand.

"Switch, I'm bothering everything. Next time you don't have to bring this. You guys just came by. Mom's so happy." Miss Lastri said when she saw Alfian put some plastic bags and cardboard into the house.

" No bother Mom." Answer Alfian. Sandra herself did not know that Alfian had prepared everything.

Now the three of them sat in the living room. Sandra lay spoiled on her mother's lap. The mother then stroked the hair of her beloved daughter gently.

" Are you not busy ? It's not the weekend yet. Al son not to the office ? " Tanya Bu Lastri opened the conversation.

" I'm on two days off ma'am. If Sandra intentionally permits college. " Said Alfian explained.

" Oo. yes no papa, but next time prioritize the more important first yes .. Doesn't mean you can't come here. I'm just afraid I'm just interfering with your work and college." Miss Lastri said it was not good.

" Sure mom, but mom's more important than my job." Alfian said trying to take her in-laws heart. This is what he thought yesterday. In addition to taking Sandra's heart, she needs to take her in-laws' hearts first. If it is then by itself it will be easier to take Sandra's heart.

" Idihhh.... What a caper ?" Inner Sandra.

" What are you cooking ? " Tanya Sandra switched the conversation.

" Aduuuh mom has not cooked, you guys did not tell mom first." Miss Lastri.

" Yes Mom, Sandra helped cook, while chatting together. " Reply Sandra was excited.

" Maybe..if so mom prepare the ingredients first. You anterin your husband to the room gih. Nak Al just rest, must be tired of driving for two hours more. Don't hesitate, consider it your own home." Miss Lastri's Order.

Alfian nodded according. He is also very tired.

" Come on mas. Bring the suitcase." Sandra's orders.

They finally broke down and put their clothes in Sandra's closet.

" Aah my room......" Said Sandra laying herself on the bed in her room. It feels so comfortable.

Alfian. She did not understand what made Sandra so happy just because she slept in bed.

" You happy ?" Ask Alfian.

" He'eh... I miss mom, miss room , miss Bi Nani, miss everything." Sandra explained.

Alfian sat in the bed. He remembers sleeping in that little bed.

" Non-padded. What makes you so happy with this bed ?" Alfian asked in astonishment.

" Reminent Lord Alfian ! This mattress is not as tender, not as big and not as comfortable as a mattress in your home. But there are so many memories that I go through in this bed. Here my mother often hugged and stroked my hair before going to bed. I often lay chatting with my friends. Here are also witnesses of my life first. Where I cry and complain when I am sad. And many other memories. Anyway I miss him." Sandra was still lying down. He stroked the bed with a happy smile.

" Hmmm... Whatever you are, freak. " Reply Alfian who does not understand Sandra's way of thinking.

" Want to add more memories of the same bed ?" Next have an idea. Alfian smiled mysteriously again. The smile he showed off when he had ignorant ideas.

" What memories ?" Ask Sandra in response.

Alfian leaned his body towards Sandra.

" Memories of our first night...." Alfian whispered while twisting his one eye flirtatiously.

" What the hell is mas ?" Sandra said embarrassedly after listening.

" Well .... , won't you ?" Persuade Alfian.

" Iiih... kok mas now perverted anyway ?" Sandra asked wrongly.

" Kok perverted, it's an obligation dear....." Alfian continued to seduce.

" Mmm, I want to go to the kitchen and help mom first.... ! " Said Sandra dodged.

Alfian chuckled at Sandra who was running wrongly. Alfian instead put his body in the bed. The remains of the smile still adorned his lips.

" What are we cooking, ma'am ?" Sandra asked after she reached the kitchen.

" This ... mother cook vegetable asem, fried tempeh, fried salted fish just as make sambal terasi. I'm so sorry, son ?" Miss Lastri

" I'm sorry, buk... Whatever Sandra's cooking mom likes. Sandra Kangen eats mother's cooking. " Sandra responded.

Miss Pastri was happy to hear that. In his heart he also missed his daughter very much. But he always held it. He did not want to disturb his son's household.

" It looks like ma'am..., last night Mas Al came home late, and this morning rushed here so it might still be sleepy."

" Mom was not good to hear it. You didn't get your husband here, did you ?" Ask Mrs Lastri.

" Lhah.., he's the one who brought Sandra here."

Miss Lastri smiled haru.

" That's your husband's sign of your concern. Without you asking her to take you to visit mom." Miss Pastri told her daughter.

" Look at the buk..." Sandra shrugged both of her shoulders.

" It's the same husband. Sandra still remembers the same advice you gave, right ?"

" It's still mom, Sandra remembers everything."

" Yes not only remember my son, but also practice."

" Aah momma bawel ah. " Sandra pretended to be upset.

Miss Lastri nailed Sandra's ear so hot.

" Told you why even bring mom !" Miss Lastri pretended to be angry.

" Yes.iya Ma'am.. Sandra is sorry. Take off mom." Sandra said she begged for mercy.

" Don't do it again, huh ?!" Miss Lastri's Order.

" Yes, ma'am ...!"

Miss Lastri then let go of her hand. The two then focus on cooking again.

Finished cooking Sandra back to the room. He was planning a new bath after lunch together.

Sandra took a towel from the closet then went to the back to take a shower. The bathroom in Sandra's house is only one and is used together, even though it is located in the back of the house.

After the shower, Sandra felt her body refreshed. He went back to the room and brushed his hair. He had changed his clothes in the bathroom.

Sandra approached Alfian who was soundly asleep. She sat next to her husband.

" Mommy.get up and eat." Sandra shook her husband's body. Slowly Alfian blinked his eyes.

" Wake up, we eat with the mas." Repeat Sandra.

Alfian held onto his head for his consciousness to quickly return.

" Aren't you dizzy ?" Ask Sandra.

Alfian shook his head.

" No, let's eat." Denying Alfian. Actually his head is a little dizzy. Lack of sleep and travel a long way makes him a little dizzy, but he does not want to make Sandra and her mother worried.

" Are you awake ?" Her father-in-law.

" It's Mom... Hmm it smells so good." Praise Alfian who then sat at the dining table in the kitchen.

" Oyes ? We'll eat now then." Reply Lastri Bu.

Sandra served her husband first. After that he took his mother and then he took food for himself. Bu Lastri smiled, apparently his daughter was still the same as he taught her before.

" It's so good, Mom ? Can I add ?" Ask Alfian who is very greedy to eat it.

" Of course I can.... " Answer Miss Lastri.

" Pope used to rarely eat at home. It turns out mom's cooking is really good. Papa always said that he had eaten at his friend's house. Besides the father who else is papa's friend, all are just business partners or colleagues." Alfian said.

" You look so much like him. I praise mom too much. This mother usually cooks only village cuisine." Bu Lastri.

" But it's so good."

" Of course it's good, whose mother's cooking used to be." Cut Sandra.

Alfian smiled wryly. He remembered his mother. The cuisine of his mother was no less delicious. Hence his mother opened a restaurant that Alfian now manages. When he was a child he was also very happy to bring supplies to school, because he thought only the most delicious of his mother's dishes.

" My mom used to be good at cooking." Alfian said sadly.

Sandra was not happy to hear that. He didn't mean to offend or remind Alfian of his mother. He heard from Mr. Wijaya that Alfian lost his mother as a child.

" Ehm.... I continued eating, I poured water huh ?" The insensitive Sandra.

" I'm sorry Sandra, I'll teach you again... Don't be sad, now mom is also your mom, although you can't replace your mom at least think of mom as your own mother. Your mama must have been a good and smart person so you had great kids like the three of you." Miss Lastri tried to comfort Alfian while stroking his shoulders like a child of her own. Sandra felt guilty.

" I'm sorry..." Sandra.

" It's not your fault. Thanks mom.... After this, what do we do ? " Tanya Alfian tried to smile again.

" Mmm...., we play to my friends' house, yes ? The house is not far from here." Bring Sandra.

" Okay, I'll finish this first."
