Chapter 86
Start a second new life
''Duh, Mom's son is awake. You must be tired, yeah.'' Ms. Rizal smiled at Mika who came to the mother in the kitchen. Mika looks tired and moves her waist that feels sore. Bu Rizal who saw Mika like that even smiled widely. He thought his daughter had fought last night.
Mika started helping her mother to prepare breakfast. He arranged some dishes and food that had been cooked by his mother.
''Where's your husband, Mi?'' ask Bu Rizal when he finishes the breakfast menu.
As if this was a dream world, Mika gasped as her mother asked her husband. This morning, when he woke up and saw Anwar still sleeping curled up on the narrow sofa. However, Mika did not intend to wake him and chose to take a shower and then go down to help his mother.
''Let me see you in the room, Mom. Maybe it is preparing said Mika who was about to head to her room.
When she was about to step, Mika saw Anwar coming down the stairs and smiled sweetly at him. Then his gaze was fixed on the mother-in-law who was behind Mika and nodded politely.
''Good morning, Mom.'' Hello Anwar,
''Morning, Son. Let's have breakfast, take Mr. Dina, Rizal's wife.
Anwar turned to greet Mika and kissed Mika's forehead affectionately in front of the in-laws without any embarrassment. Mika's face immediately blushed for him out of embarrassment.
''Where's the father, ma'am? Anwar asked because he did not find Mr. Rizal in the room.
''There's behind, let me call first.'' he said,
''Oh yes, Mi, prepare first for your husband, let the mother follow-up father first.'' said Ms. Dina to her daughter and passed away leaving them both.
Mika just stared at her mother's step away and took a plate and filled it with rice. He filled his pyrin and started eating, Mika did not offer Anwar a single item.
''Honey, make it mana. How do you eat by yourself, whine Anwar like a child.
''You have hands, and the plate is in front of your eyes, Mika replied. He was lazy to talk to his new husband.
Anwar took his own food, this was only the beginning and he had to patiently face his wife.
while at the back, Rizal was cool with the birds in his cage while whistling and snapping fingers making his bird fly up and down following the swing of his hand.
''Well, let's have breakfast. The children are waiting, '' take Miss Dina.
''Mom, this is again feeding the birds.'' he said without turning his head.
Ms. Dina just clucked at her husband's activities. It has become a morning routine with his favorite birds.
''Well, let's spit it out. Mom stay later, dad breakfast alone, threatened Dina ma'am.
''Iya-iya, this is almost done.'' Mr. Rizal re-raised his bird nest to the hanger and fixed the sheath cloth wrapped around his waist.
Not to forget, he washed his hands beside the entrance that was available there specifically made to take care of his birds.
Ms. Dina stepped ahead of Mr. Rizal and was followed by her husband. Upon arriving at the dinner table, they saw the child and his daughter-in-law eating in silence. It seemed, they had forgotten that their parents had not had breakfast and were instead waiting for them. But even those who eat first.
''Ehrm,'' Rizal cleared his throat and made two people who were silent to each other in a turning position.
''Dad want to wear what side dish?'' tawar Mica.
Mr. Rizal also smiled at his daughter, ''use vegetable lodeh same fried salted fish, '' he pointed out.
Mika immediately took her father's menu.
''Part of Dad let mom prepare, Mi. You offer your husband that, he wants to add anything.'' Bu Dina looked at Anwar who just kept silent to see Mika's attitude.
''No, Ma. I was full said Anwar a little clumsy.
Mika only gave him a difficult look, so Anwar chose silence.
They enjoy breakfast together with the new members in the Rizal family.
After breakfast, Mika and her mother sat down to relax on the terrace of the house. While Anwar along with Mr. Rizal enjoy the game they used to do together.
On this occasion, Mika also remembered her phone. He wanted to check something there. However, since yesterday he has not seen any sign of Anwar returning his phone.
''Mom, can I borrow mom's phone for a while.' asked Mika.
''Take it in the darling room, I'll go ahead first. If you want to come, stay follow ya, Mother to the house uwak Rahma.'' said Ms. Dina to Mika who had gone to the mother's room but was still heard by Mika's voice.
''Yes, I will follow you later, ma'am.'' said Mika.
He immediately rushed to pick up his mother's phone on the nightstand and dialed his own number.
''Hopefully, it is still active.'' Mika muttered while waiting to connect.
A few seconds later, the number is connected. Waiting for a while but no word.
''About where ya hape me, is there the same Aji ya,'' Mika monologue
He repeated until he got the answer across the street. A heavy and raucous sound from across there made Mika frown in wonder.
Hello, Assalamulaikum, Mom. Aji's voice sounded clear and a little doubtful. He thinks if the one who called Mika's phone is Mika's parents.
Mika was still silent, her chest felt tight hearing that voice. He feels so guilty. Mika was confused what to say. I really want him to tell me all about the things he experienced on the last night of their meeting caused by Anwar.
Mom, is there Mika. I want to talk to her please ma'am, Aji's voice sounded clear. Mika could not bear to imagine how sad Aji was on the other side.
Pa, um,.. Mika who could no longer hold back her tears to spill over her cheeks.
While on the other side, Aji was in disbelief at the voice he heard just now. Is it true it was Mika's voice or was she just hallucinating. He just got drunk last night
Several times Aji rubbed her face and eyes to see the name of the contact on Mika's phone.
Mi, is that you. Where are you, baby, I'm so worried about you. Tell me, let me pick you up right now. Said Aji in the spirit of four-five. He was very sure if the one who was talking to him through a mobile phone was Mika.
However, the rice had already become porridge. Mika cannot do much, she can only cry behind a smile that Aji cannot see.
