Mom, Let Me Be Happy

CHAPTER 32. Arifin Keeps His Promise

It did not take long just a few days the work agreement between Mariam, Umar, and also Lita was running as it should be. They were all happy with the good results of the effort. Moreover, Mariam, herself felt that her skills became useful and not in vain.

"Mother, has Santana's father forgotten about Shaka, again?" chirps Shaka while Mariam is packing the cookies and chips she made to deposit into Umar's shop, and Lita's. Mariam stared for a moment when she heard the question coming out of Shaka's mouth. "Shaka, maybe Santana's father is still busy so, hasn't been able to see Shaka" Mariam replied.

The boy looked down disappointed and hurried to leave Mariam. Mariam could only take a sultry breath that felt slashing inside her chest. "Why is it that while I was learning to get Santana out of my mind, Shaka made me remember her?" inner Mariam.

"Darling, can I have your help for a minute?" ask Denny while approaching Mariam who was still haunted at the time. Denny repeated his question several times but Mariam was still dumb. Until Denny placed a whisper in Mariam's ear, Mariam responded.

"Eh, yes Mas, of course you can" replied Mariam after Denny whispered to her. "What are you thinking, hum? If you are tired of rest, do not force yourself!" Denny. "It's okay, Mommy" Mariam said, forcing a smile on her lips.

"Well, can you help me open this?" Denny carried a cardboard that was firmly attached by duct tape. Mariam took out a pair of scissors to open the cardboard that somehow contained what it was. Carefully he opened the duct tape stuck in the cardboard one by one.

Mariam managed to open the cardboard and how smitten she was when she saw the contents in the cardboard. "Mas, what is this?" mariam stuttered to look at Denny and then changed to look at the objects in the cardboard.

"Are you happy?" denny asked with a smile. Mariam simply nodded with an incessant smile on her beautiful lips. Apparently Denny bought equipment as Mariam's equipment to make food that he would sell.

There is a Mixer, sponge pan with rectangular or circular shape. Denny could not bear to see Mariam who had to beat the eggs to make a sponge using whiskey or manual egg whisk. Of course Mariam would be more helpful if she uses a mixer.

The cup!

A kiss landed on Denny's cheek making him stop smiling. "Tumben once he sensitized," inwardly Denny found Mariam who gave a kiss on his cheek without being asked. "It's simple that makes my wife happy" Denny continued.

"Thank you, Mas. This all makes me more excited," Mariam said as she held the objects one by one. It was a sweet surprise for Mariam as a support from Denny. "Together, honey, make a better sponge cake" Denny smiled as he rubbed Mariam's head.

"Of course, Mom! I thought about making brownies too" said Mariam with a broken smile that did not end. Denny's attempt to carve a smile on the lips of his beloved wife at that time succeeded. To the extent that they forgot, it was possible that Mother, and Shaka were waiting for them at the dinner table.

***

The day Santana has arrived. Arifin came to his house. With the rest of the bandage still attached to his head and also his legs that have to walk using a support stick.

In that not-so-good state, Arifin kept his promise. With a limp step and an armpit propped up by a stick. Arifin is already inside Santana's house.

Arifin bowed embarrassed by her condition when Asih stared intently at Arifin's eyes. "Come on, leave us! There's something I need to talk to him about" Santana ordered. "No, Mom! I also need to speak to this biad*b male," declined Asih's full emphasis.

Arifin does not believe Asih now hates him. The woman who used to always obey whatever she said. Even when Arifin blatantly refused to take responsibility Asih was still obedient to him.

"Do you remember me?" tanya Asih with a slow but emphasis tone. "Asih, I'm sorry" said Arifin who did not dare to look into Asih's eyes. "Huhahah! Pardon you? Do you think that your cruel act will end with an apology?" Asih roared with an angry tone.

Arifin doesn't know what to do. In that room he felt cornered by the sins he had committed himself. There was not a single sentence left to defend himself.

Asih yells at Arifin, until Dicky unknowingly witnesses and hears all that and now he finds out that Arifin is his old father. Dicky walked slowly towards them.

The marriage that Airin Pranata lived in never made her happy. Julian's cold, haughty, even indifferent nature often brought pain, rift, and pain to Airin's mind.

In the midst of a slump that had no way out, Airin could only say the phrase, "i'm fine, " to strengthen the poor woman's heart.

Airin overhears Julian's conversation saying, "Make the wreckage fall in love within 30 days. If you succeed, I'll divorce her and give it to you."

Like being hit by thousands of invisible knives, the pain immediately struck Airin's chest.

Is Airin able to whisper the phrase "i'm fine" to himself?

Stepping to a new life?
