Love for Almira

40. Grief News.

After buying Muslim clothes, Faisal took his wife and children to a cafe next to a Muslim clothing store.

“Kakak Naura is thirsty,” said Faisal when taking his children and wife to the cafe.

“Akbar and Amelia want what?” faisal asked his twins.

“Or ekim, Father,” replied Akbar.

“Amel juda to ekim,” replied Amelia.

“That's all so want ice cream. Though just yesterday they ate ice cream,” said Almira.

“Udah let it go, Bun. They eat ice cream every day,” Faisal trying to mediate.

“Ya already, can eat ice cream. But only once, yes! Cannot add!” Almira.

“Iya Nda,” replied Amelia.

“Iya, Bunbun,” Akbar replied.

“Mother want what?” faisal asked Almira.

“Mother to Baso, Well,” replied Almira.

“There is a baso?” faisal asked confused.

“Tuh,” Almira points to a baso image attached to the cafe wall.

“Dad, Naura want siomay.” Naura pointed to a picture of siomay next to the baso image.

“Aya, Albal au ciomay,” says Akbar.

“Amel uga au, Aya,” says Amelia.

Eventually Faisal ordered all the food his wife and children wanted. As for himself Faisal ordered grilled ribs.

Without Almira and Faisal realizing there was someone listening to their conversation and staring at them with nanar. Who else is that guy if not Tomy. Accidentally the car that Tomy was driving passed in front of the store where Almira was shopping. Tomy sees Almira coming out of the store while leading two toddlers. As Tomy approaches Almira, Tomy sees Almira sitting at a table with Faisal along with a teenager and two toddlers. From their conversation Tomy heard Faisal calling Almira with the designation “Bunda”.

So Almira is married? Ask Tomy in your heart.

Tomi is surprised that Almira is married to Faisal.

Why would Almira accept Faisal's children as a serial child but not accept the children of my relationship with Tita? Tomy said in his heart.

How can you be to me, Mira, Tomy said in her heart.

Tomy left the cafe feeling hurt and angry.

Almira smiled as she looked at Akbar and Amelia who were busy eating siomay by themselves. At times Almira wiped the mouth of Akbar and Amelia who were smitten with soy sauce.

“Enak darling?” almira asked Akbar and Amelia.

Akbar and Amelia answered with a nod of their heads. Then Almira turned to Naura who was eating siomay. He saw Naura eating with piquancy.

“Kakak, use sambel a lot, yes?” ask Almira.

“Later stomachache,” says Almira.

“If it doesn't matter, Auntie,” replied Naura.

“Yes, but later your stomach hurts. Next time sambelnya just a little,” said Almira.

“Dengerin tuh what Mother said,” said Faisal.

“Iya,” answered Naura while pouting.

“Tante also use sambelnya much,” protest Naura.

“If her belly aunt immune missile is used to eating spikes. If you are young, Auntie is afraid that your stomach is not strong,” replied Almira.

“I also used to eat spicy. If you don't believe ask Dad,” said Naura.

“Yes right, Yah?” naura said to Faisal.

“Iya used to eat spicy. But afterward you grimaced in pain,” Faisal replied.

Almira breathed. It seemed like he had to set a good example to Naura. If he does not want Naura to eat too much sambel, Almira must reduce spicy-spicy eating.

“We both reduce spicy eating, yes Brother! Little by little, later also get used to it,” said Almira.

“Iya, Aunt,” replied Naura.

They continued eating.

This morning as usual Almira was busy preparing breakfast for her new family and supplies for Naura. Today Almira and Faisal have to go back to the office, because their leave period is over. The twin toddlers from the morning continued to whine hearing their mother had to return to school.

“Please wish Dad a quick assistant, so that Mommy doesn't have to work in the office anymore,” Almira told both batteries.

“But Amel want icut Nda,” whine Amelia.

“Albal also au icut Bunbun,” whine Akbar too.

“Eh. Later at noon Akbar and Amelia eat the same pudding Mbak,” entertain Almira.

“Bunbun bicin pudding?” akbar asked with sparkling eyes while wiping his tears with his tiny hands.

“Iya, last night Mother made pudding for Akbar, Amelia and Sister Naura,” replied Almira.

“If Akbar and Amelia come to the office later run out of pudding,” said Almira.

“But Bunbun te kantonya ndak can be ama-ama,” said Akbar.

“Iya dear, Mommy will not be long to his office,” replied Almira.

“Amel to mamam pudding. Ndak want icut Nda te kanto,” said Amelia.

“Albar uga,” says Akbar.

“Aduh Mommy's children are smart,” praise Almira and then kiss the cheeks of the stone one by one.

Finally, Akbar and Ameli's whining drama ended, so that Almira could leave for the office quietly.

As Almira was getting ready to leave for the office, Almira saw Faisal was talking seriously. I don't know who I'm talking to. But Almira heard Faisal say Innalillahi wainalilahi rojiun.

Finally Faisalpun ended his conversation on a mobile phone and approached Almira.

“What's up, Mas?” tanya Almira saw her husband's face hard to interpret.

“Almira, you sit down first Mas want to talk,” said Faisal.

Then Faisal took his wife to the sofa in his room.

“What's up, Mas?” ask Almira again.

Faisal took his wife's hand and placed it on his lap and held it tightly.

“Strong almira, yes. Just now Adit called Mas. Adit said Tomy died at dawn in a single accident. Tomy died on the way when he was taken to hospital,” Faisal said as he looked at Almira.

“Mas, why did Mas talk that way to Almira? Almira is no longer Mr. Tomy's wife. Almira is Mr. Tomy's ex-wife. I should have spoken to Tita, not to Almira! Now Almira wife of Mas Faisal, Naura's mother, Akbar and Amelia,” Almira said.

Faisal was shocked to hear Almira's words. She had thought that Almira would be sad to hear this news because she still loved Tomy. But unexpectedly Almira was just mediocre to hear it. It turns out that Almira's love for Tomy really no longer exists.

“Pardon Mas, Almira. Mas originally thought you would be sad to hear this news because you still love Tomy,” Faisal said with regret.

“Almira's love for Mr. Tomy is long dead, Mas. Now what Almira is cultivating in the heart of Almira is Almira's love for Mas Faisal who is now Almira's husband,” said Almira.

“Thank you, baby. You want to love Mas,” said Faisal then kissed his wife's lips with affection.

Almira tried to push her husband's chest gently so that her husband would let go of his kiss.

“Mas, it's noon. It's time to go to the office,” Almira said as Faisal let go of his kiss.

“Today do not have to go to the office, we take another leave,” said Faisal with a sultry face because he had to let go of his kiss.

“Mas, if the boss is lazy, later the work is also lazy,” said Almira.

“Who dares to be lazy? Later Mas fired,” said Faisal.

“Eh. Finding employees is easy. Honest and faithful hard to find,” said Almira.

“Iya, Bu boss yes,” Faisal replied.

“It's noon, nih. Let's get ready to go to the office,” said Almira.

“Let's stop by Tomy's parents' house, yeah. We're not going there yet. From there we just went to the office,” said Faisal.

“Iya, Mas,” replied Almira.
