Just A Wedding

Just A Wedding
Chapter 78



My heart and heart were pounding uncontrollably as Mr Satrio's car entered his parents' yard. Yes this week my son is here, at my in-laws' house. It looks like Mr. Hardian is playing tough in the yard. Tough can walk and even run. A week ago Tough was still running with fear. Not felt, three more days Tough one birthday. Distance tough age and Thavisa almost a year. My tears fell to see Tangguh who was playing run - run with Mr. Hardian, his face cheerful with a laugh because pursued by Mr. Hardian.


I got off immediately when Mr. Satrio's car came to a halt. I opened the door and ran towards Tangguh followed by Mr. Satrio who was walking behind me. A cheerful Resilient face turned towards us.


" Pope.....Papa.." shouted Toughly as he ran towards Mr. Satrio. Mr. Satrio saw Tough running towards him, and he spread his arms . I was crying, a week passed Tangguh progress is very fast.


" Sister.don't run too fast ! " snouted Mr. Hardian on Tough. Tough to ignore Mr. Hardian's screams. With the typical style of a Tough little boy running, his fat body makes Tough look adorable.


" Papa's son." exclaimed Mr. Satrio replying to the Resilient greeting running fast towards him.


Mr. Satrio put both of his knees on the ground with his hands stretched out to welcome Tangguh. Tough to embrace the body of Mr. Satrio as well as Tough.


" Mama....ja....mama.....ja.....(work mom .......work mom ) , " Tough. I approached Tangguh who was in the arms of Mr. Satrio. Stroked her hair and kissed her with my millions of loves.


" Yes, I want my mom to work" I replied as I continued to kiss her. His call to me has changed. I taught her to call me Mother, but now Tough calls me Mama. Thavisa's voice was heard crying from inside the house.


" Sister..ngis...grandson...(sister crying)," Tough took my hand, as if to tell her sister Thavisa crying. A while passed, I forgot that Mr. Hardian was standing between us. Maybe because for too long I did not meet Tough and Thavisa I forgot about my surroundings.


" Are you and your family healthy, son ?" greet Mr. Hardian to me.


" Yes papa, I and my family are healthy" I replied while kissing the back of Mr. Hardian's hand.


" Thank God papa was happy. Come in, Kasian Thavisa's crying,"


I nodded slowly and smiled at Mr. Hardian. Bending the body while stepping into the house. On the other hand Mr. Satrio grabbed Tough for him to carry, they were joking with each other. Tough hands touched Mr. Satrio's whiskers and thin beard then laughed amusedly. Mr. Satrio teased by kissing Tangguh sticking his mustache and beard on Tangguh, which made Tangguh laugh even more amusedly. Why is seeing the two of them like this alone, making me so happy ? Isn't this what every mother who suffered the fate of the same as me expected ? His father could play with his daughter's son at any time.


Thavisa keeps crying in Bu Elly's arms while the middle-aged woman next to Ms. Elly is busy wanting to give Thavisa milk in a bottle.


" I'm sorry, let me give you ASI for Thavisa, "my permission is to take Thavisa who is in Miss Elly's arms. He turned his head indifferently to me but still gave Thavisa to me.


" Sit while you give Thavisa breast milk" Ms. Elyy ordered in a cold, raucous voice to me. The tension and awkwardness between us was clearly visible.


" Yeah Ma'am I did," I replied who also awkwardly replied to Bu Elly's command. I sat down on the sofa hinted by Mr. Satrio with his hand, so that I would sit beside him. Thavisa's crying voice died down, Thavisa's eyes looking at me while drinking my breast milk. Her tiny hand tightly grasped my index finger. Mr. Satrio who was next to me while holding Tough, kissed the top of Thavisa's head many times while still joking with Tough. I'm overwhelmed by what Mr. Satrio is doing. God, I haven't had half an hour of what made me so happy. I was one of the characters in this incident. This dry river is like doused in heavy rain water.Can drain water again like a river in general. My prayers at all times seemed to be answered by these two events. I want to continue and continue to experience this with my children and their biological father, Mr. Satrio. All this time I pretended not to need Mr. Satrio, it seemed to disappear instantly. Seeing him so well treats my children.


" Mama....what food is ready, I'm hungry," exclaimed Mr. Satrio when he saw Mr. Elly coming from the dining room. He put the phone in a clutch bag and then stood up and walked to take Ms. Elly back to the dining room while holding Tangguh.


Mr. Hardian and I just looked at Mr. Satrio's child-like behavior, very spoiled to Ms. Elly.


," Mama cook stew and tempe bacem right ?" the voice of the spoiled Mr. Satrio was still clearly heard from the living room where I was sitting with Mr. Hardian, my father-in-law. No. I thought Mr. Satrio was very spoiled with his mother. There was not a proud and arrogant soul that he used to show everyone. There was no authoritative face that he usually spread to everyone.


" Dik Rin let's eat." Mr. Satrio returned to the living room to call me. (Don't expect us to be able to shout - yell at my in-laws' house, if you don't want to be given advice from morning until night, from day one to day ten ).


" You accompany your husband to eat, let me praise him (meaning the Tough nanny and Thavisa) who carried Thavisa." miss Elly's orders took Thavisa from my sling along with me finished giving ASI to Thavisa.


" No, let Tangguh and Thavisa be here." exclaimed Miss Elly when she heard Mr. Satrio saying he meant to bring Tangguh and Thavisa home with me.


" I don't trust your wife anymore" Ms. Elly spoke to us, me and Mr. Satrio.


" But ma....better the children are cared for by their own biological mother," said Mr. Satrio to Ms. Elly.


" Better how ? Isn't it when we get there your wife goes out to stay with her boyfriend. " Reply Miss Elly persisted so that Tangguh and Thavisa remained with her.


My face is red, withstanding the shame of Miss Elly's words. Miss Elly's words were slow but in this room they sounded loud. Maybe Ma'am Praise and Bik Ipah heard Miss Elly's voice.


I was downcast and did not dare to look, nor could I say to defend myself. In fact I did go out and spend the night at Henry's villa. I want to deny, Henry and I had no special relationship and nothing negative happened that night. But it was hard for this sound to come out, squeezed between the cavities of my esophagus. I swallowed my saliva because I didn't know what would happen next.


," Ma.


" You've always defended your wife. In the past, you defended Asri ignoring mama, but what's the truth ? How many times has he cheated ? How much have we paid for Asri and his family ? If it counts enough to buy new land." said Miss Elly.


" No. Mama did not want to be Tough and Thavisa was taken care of by the wrong people" Ms. Elly's voice was higher than before.


My fingers could not hide if I trembled with fear and anxiety. I can't live without my children. Which makes me stay and makes me strong up here because of Tough and Thavisa.
