Mom, Let Me Be Happy
CHAPTERS 14. Early change
"Mariam, rest first. Take Shaka to the room" Denny said as they finished their meal. At that time Mariam did not even move from where she sat.
"Mariam..," repeated Denny. "Sorry, Mas. Wouldn't it be better to wait for Mom to come home first?" mariam. "Ah, yes.I forgot it turns out we are not married," said Denny made Mariam's face red.
"All right, you don't have to worry! I'm going to sleep somewhere else" Denny said, then he walked in and tidied up his room. Mariam just sat there. It feels like Mariam wants to get away from her nervousness but, can not.
***
1 hour later, Denny's mom is home. Mariam, and Shaka also rest in the room that has been provided. That means for a while Denny has to sleep outside the house.
Denny goes to his cousin's sister Umar's house, which happens to be not far from Denny's house. Umar lives with his wife, Lita, and they are only a few months married. Umar and Lita prepare a guest room for Denny to occupy for some time.
"Mas, Den... So Mariam and her son are now safe?" ask Lita who has heard her story from Denny. "Alhamdulillah, Lit. Now Mariam and Shaka are with Mom" Denny replied.
"Thank God, then, Lita can not imagine how sick it became mbak Mariam," said Lita. "Hopefully it didn't happen to you, or to me," Denny said. "Aamiin, Mas" - Umar and Lita.
The Santana house....
It looks like Santana is cleaning her house while occasionally wiping the sweat on her forehead with her hands. So serious about taking his new wife after expelling Mariam, and Shaka heartlessly. A few hours later, Santana was done with her work.
Come a woman of crazy stature and not too tall. Her name is Asih and is none other than the mother of Shaka's co-star named Dicky. Somehow Mariam felt, knowing this.
"Origin, comein! I've done everything you asked," Santana told Asih who grinned with excitement. "Dad, can Dicky throw away these clothes?" said Dicky while touching the disgust of Shaka's clothes that are still left behind.
"Do as you wish, Dicky" said Santana, exhaling violently. "Alright, Dad. This will definitely be a lot of fun," the devil-hearted boy sneered.
Walk around the house to check on the situation. He smiled every time he saw the room that Santana had tidied up. "Lumayan also works, Mas. This house became very different after the abandonment of the g*mbel."
"Name Mariam, Asih. I know you don't like him, at least say his name correctly" Santana said. "Oh so? you're more defending him than me, Mom?" maki Asih with bulging eyeballs and barely came out.
"As far as you are, Asih. I'm tired and want to rest" replied Santana who was lazy to argue. Santana slammed her body into the bed, then closed her eyes.
"Basic sucks!" great-granddaughter Asih while stomping her feet and left the room. Asih again looked at another room and accidentally saw an old photo belonging to Mariam, who was still stuck in the room of the house.
"Aarrrgh! Basic s*alan woman, why do you have to leave a trace here?" jerit Asih while pulling the photo violently. Suddenly Santana who just wanted to sleep, woke up to hear the oath of absorption that was thrown Asih to Mariam. Unable to hear the sound that shrieked his hearing, Santana immediately got up and walked over to Asih.
*Plak... plaque!
The sound of a loud slap from Santana, landed perfectly on both sides of Asih's cheeks. "Aww. sick" Asih complained while covering both cheeks with his hands. "Can't you just shut up?" santana said in an annoyed tone.
Asih grimaced in pain without answering Santana. Santana then moved her foot back to the room. "Until I hear your voice again cursing, I'll pull your tongue out!" threaten Santana as it passes.
Behind the satisfaction of being able to remove Mariam from Santana's life, Asih was treated harshly. I don't know since when the start of the relationship with Santana Asih. Because if it's true, Dicky was Santana's real son, which means it's been going on for a long time.
Given Dicky's age that is not much different from Shaka's. Could it be that during his marriage to Mariam, Santana already had a relationship with Asih? all of this remains a mystery. Only God and the Author know.
Move to Susana in Denny's house....
"Mother ... Mariam apologized for inconveniencing Mother and also Denny mas," said Mariam to Denny's mother who was embroidery a cloth at the time. "Come, Mariam. Sit down near you" Mother commanded, throwing a mother's smile.
Mariam, who was standing with her fingers, slowly stepped up and sat by Mother like her door. " In this life sometimes we have to fight harder to get through a steep chasm" Denny's mother said as she held Mariam's arms. Mariam smiled bitterly with teary eyes.
"You must be strong, son. Even though I know it's not easy," Denny's mom added. "Reply to your pain by making yourself and Shaka happy, understand?" continued Mom as she gently rubbed her hands wiping away Mariam's tears.
"Thank you, Mom. Mariam understood," hugged Denny's mother tightly. "Although I don't experience what you're going through, as a fellow woman I can feel it" Denny said.
"Already, Mariam. Save your tears, it's time to make a change in your life" Mother said. Mariam immediately wiped her tears then refracted the smile on her lips.
"Let's help Mom cook, Denny's probably going home for dinner soon, '" Mom asked and walked into the kitchen. Mariam tailed behind Mom and she was curious about something. "Mom, if Denny doesn't sleep at home, where does he sleep?" ask Mariam to vent.
Denny's mother smiled at the question. "Not to worry, Denny stayed for a while at the house of Umar, and Lita. His cousin's sister" replied Mother.
"Thank God, Mom. So Mariam did not think anymore" said Mariam and immediately closed her mouth with both hands. "What did I say?" inner Mariam was embarrassed by her own words.
"There is no need to be ashamed. I'm glad that Mariam cares about Denny," comfort Mom who sees Mariam's red face meet with shame. Both then cook some food for them to serve as a dinner menu later.
The kitchen that was originally quiet because it was usually filled by Mother herself, now feels so warm with the clutches of Mariam and Mother who have begun to get familiar. If Denny had seen this, he would have been very happy. Hopefully what Denny's prayers and hopes will be fulfilled.
