Mama for My Son

Amel and Arif

The atmosphere was so warm at the dinner table. Only the clanking of spoons and plates was heard. But suddenly surprised by the arrival of Amel and Arif.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.." Amel and Arif.

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Answer everyone at the dinner table.

All eyes turned to the source of the voice and all smiled at his smile. There was not a single look from those who were surprised by the arrival of Amel and Arif. Unlike Amel who has shed tears since Arif's car entered the gate of Angga and Nadin's house.

"Sir, come and eat." Take Nadin.

Amel approached her and stood on his knees beside her. Mother reviewed her smile and wiped away the tears Amel bore on Amel's cheeks.

"Wake Nak. Let's eat together." Say Mother.

Amel wakes up aided by Arif and sits on an empty bench next to Nayya. Amel rubbed gently on Nayya's hair. Nayya turned and looked at her smile.

They continued the delayed dinner with Amel and Arif. After they had all finished their meal all gathered in the living room with a warm tea and some snacks that Nadin had deliberately brought from the city of Y.

"Father, Mother, Kaka and Teteh. Amel apologizes for all the mistakes of Amel yesterday." Amel's speech faltered.

"Already Son. No need to bring up the past. Fix the winks." Saying Father.

"Yes Well." Amel.

Amel rested his head on Arif's shoulder. Arif rubbed the top of Amel's head gently.

"Nad, the day after tomorrow come to the factory. There's a new kid we need to select." Pinta Arif's.

"Why aren't you guys?" Answer Nadin.

"Ivan can't come. There's a meeting for him." Arif.

"Well... Father." Rajuk Nadin's.

"Go Nak. Let the kids be with us." Saying Father.

"Go away, baby. Let Pa.Ujang deliver." Angga's Word.

"You're not going to the Rif?" Ask Nadin.

"Hey, you forgot if your husband and Ivan were in the Meeting then I'd be in the Meeting." Arif replied in formal language before his in-laws. Because that's how they say if outside their own group. If there are only them.

"Well..." Complain Nadin.

"What's that?" Ask Amel to Arif.

"Loh, right?" Ask Amel disconnected.

"Everything's fine, baby. Tell me about it at home." Say Arif gently rubbing Amel's cheeks gently.

"Children are moving to Rif school?" Ask Dad.

"So Yeah. All of Arif has taken care of. The mother did not want to go far, he said. Afraid Rafa's got another sister." Goda Arif's.

"Buck, uh. Shy dong. Time in the same talk Daddy's the same Mother." Amel.

Mom just smiled at the familiarity of her children back. This is what he always wanted.

"Mom, it's night. Rest first. But, before taking the medicine first yes." Nadin's Word.

Then Nadin brought Mother's medicine and gave it to Mother. Without refusal, she took all her medicine. After that Mom went into the room in between by Nadin and was followed by Amel.

"Mother, don't you want to stay with Amel anymore? It's Mom's house too." Persuade Amel.

"Later Mom will occasionally menginao there. You don't mind, do you?" Answer me slowly.

"Of course not dong Bu. It's Mom's house." Answer Amel.

"That's your house, son. I gave it to you." Say Mother.

"Yes. But, you and I can still live there." Answer Amel again.

She smiled and answered Amel's rant. Nadin helps Mom lay her body on the bed.

"Nadin's kids are big and Nadin's a nurse so your sister doesn't really bother you. While you have to take care of your two kids also your job at the boutique. Later I'll even trouble you." Say Mother.

"Mom don't worry. Amel could've split it." Said Amel again.

"Rest Mom. Dad will follow. Nad same Amel out first yes. Amel's request don't think too much about it. If you want to go to Amel's house, no one will forbid it. I can live anywhere." Gentle Nadin.

"Come Deck. Let me rest first." Take Nadin.

"alright. I'm resting ya." Amel.

She smiled at her two favorite women.
