Money Worship Or Custody?

Money Worship or Custody ?

Chapter 12

Inara POV

I leaned my body on the bed. Mom always told me to stay in the room, and she took care of everything by herself. Cooking, washing clothes, cleaning the house, preparing Devano school needs and others.

I feel bad about hiring a mother like this.

"Son, this is eating first."

Mom came into my room carrying a plate filled with food.

"Thank you Mom, you shouldn't bother taking care of me. I just healed too."

"Issh, you don't have to feel bad. If it's not mom who else will take care of you."

"Mom, I'm okay too. Oh, I see it."

I stood up and turned around, but suddenly my head was dizzy again "Accuse me, aw." I sat down on the bed holding my head.

"Well, you are like a child. Here lie down again."

My mother helped me get on my bed and tendered me. Then he painstakingly bribed me.

I felt like I was back when I was a child, my mother always fed me affectionately. And I always apply it to Devano.

"Mom, thank you for everything. Mother's affection, mother's care, and everything you've done since I was a child Until I got married and had children, you were always the front guard to protect me."

I hugged my mother, she stroked my hair softly, nothing changed from her long ago.

"Son, in the eyes of the mother you are always the little child of the mother. A beautiful child who is cheerful and always brings happiness to mother and father.

So, never feel again if you trouble mom. Now you finish your food first, yes, I want to finish the kitchen first used to cook earlier."

Mother left my room, I immediately ate the mother's cooking without rest.

Huhh, it feels bored to have to continue lying down like this, there is no activity whatsoever that I can do, if I move a little to help mom, mom must be angry.

Shortly after just a few minutes of daydreaming looking at the window, my phone suddenly rang, I picked up the phone with an unknown number. No names on my phone screen, it looks like a stray phone.

Then I picked it up, and there was a man's voice on the phone.

"Callo, Inara."

I was shocked, he knew my name but I never heard his voice.

"Hallo, this is Inara, right.?

"L-yes, this is who it is."

"You remember me, the kribo."

"Kribo?"

I remember who he meant, kribo?. I raised my face to look up. And apparently, yes I remember.

"Andres."

Without thinking, I immediately said his name. Yeah, who else wouldn't he be.

"Hahaha, you remember. Thank goodness I don't have to introduce myself anymore."

"Yaiyalah remember, who else is my friend whose hair is kribo, it's just you doang."

Then we exchanged news, asking about each other's circumstances and other trite bases. But, on the sidelines of our chat he suddenly said that if he wanted to visit my house, he didn't even know that I didn't live in my house but in my husband's.

"Ra, I'm playing to your house huh."

"Huh, what's the matter."

"Just talk, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Anyway, I promised you I'd come home from London I'd let you know."

I kept quiet without answering. How do I explain everything that I'm married and have kids. And now my parents are home because my household is not doing well. It must be complicated to explain to him.

"Ra, you're still there, right.? I'll be at your house later this afternoon."

"Emm, you better not. Right now I'm married and I don't live in my parents' house."

I paused my speech, he just kept quiet without a sound, I don't know what he was thinking.

"An, sorry."

"But uncle and aunt are at home, right, I'll just go there. I miss them too." Suddenly he turned to asking mom and dad.

"My mother is here too, they are visiting me."

"Then send your home address, I'll go there and introduce me to your husband."

I'm surprised, if he comes here what people will say. They must be thinking nothing of me. Especially when Adi rarely comes home

"Huh, um don't An. I don't want people to think that no-no about me."

"Inara, you don't like that. I haven't seen you in a long time. Let me visit you huh. There will be no problem, you are not alone, there are your parents there too."

God, why is he so stubborn. His attitude has not changed at all.

"But, we've changed An, we're both adults and it's not appropriate that you still call me like this."

Kututut....

Andres disconnected the phone without waiting for a response from me.

He was like that from the beginning. If you want to play at home always forced. I don't know what he was looking for there, which is for sure when he came to my house, he always didn't want to go home because he was comfortable with my father and mother. He always thought of her as his own parents.

We were friends since childhood, it has become a habit if you come home from school, Andres instead of coming home he followed me home. Eat and sleep even until magrib he just came home.

The habit doesn't go away until we get into High School. We are like sisters, from Elementary to High School we are always in the same school and class.

No doubt that now he still misses me a lot, even though I do too. But I feel guilty for not telling her about my marriage.

Ever since he went to college in London, I never heard from him, he never called me. I thought that he had forgotten me because the distance between us was too far. But where does he know my cell phone number.

"Son.."

On the sidelines of my daydream, suddenly my mother came, it seemed like my mother was listening to my chat with Andres on the phone.

"I heard you talking to yourself."

"No ma'am I'm on the phone."

"Ooh with whom, your husband? he called you again?"

"Don't Mom, do you remember Andres? he just called me, he just got back from London. And now he wants to visit here. Wouldn't there be a problem if she came here, ma'am."

Mom tried to remember again, it seems like mom had forgotten too, because it was a long time ago she moved me to London.

"Andres your friend, whom you call the kribo."

"Well, ma'am, that one."

"It's been a long time that I haven't seen her. How's it going now?"

Not in the thought that mother also did not forget her. No wonder she was so close to him too.

"She's good, ma'am, but she wants to come here later in the afternoon, what do you think. I've banned him here, I'm afraid people think I'm the no-no. But in insist, he said miss the same mother father also."

"Mmmm, you ask me later if you're home."

"Jude, ma'am."

I'm ready, because it's starting late afternoon. Devano has also come home from school, but why haven't you come home yet.

I already gave my address to Andres. What if he comes first and you get angry because I want to put a man into the house.

Suddenly the sound of cars roaring in the yard. It seems like it was him coming, I was getting nervous. Why does it feel like a girl is about to be proposed to her boyfriend.

I opened the door, with makeup. I don't want to be too flashy because I don't want any slander between us.

Then suddenly a man came in neat clothes wearing a black shirt and suit, trousers and fentople shoes like a company director. Her hair is neat with her right side.

I saw him from top to bottom, he was Andres, God is so handsome. My eyes can't be separated from her sweet face.

"Hey.."

He smiled and his hands were in front of me. I woke up and turned my face away. It felt so shameful, even though we were friends, but the separation that was too long made me awkward to meet again like this.

"Please come in."

I walked in followed by her, then mom came out of the kitchen and immediately greeted her.

"Auntie... How are you."

"Son Andres, let's sit down."

She greeted my mother and sat down on the sofa, while I took some water in the kitchen and some snacks to treat.

"When you come, son, it's been a long time since you moved abroad."

"Yes Bi, I've only been here three days. I'll probably stay here again, because I have to continue papa's company. I remember my uncle and aunt Inara. Then I called her, and Inara was married. Why not tell me. I can force you to come."

"Yes, kid, after you leave, you can't call each other. Maybe because it's too far away."

Mom and Andres were so excited to talk. I just kept my head down, I was embarrassed by my current appearance.

"Oh yes, he said Inara already had a child, where she is now."

"Some, he's playing outside. Momentarily call ya." Mom left us to find Devano who had been playing outside with her friends.

Again I feel nervous. I feel like he's watching me. He just kept staring at me, was he disgusted to see me.

"Ra, just shut up. You don't miss me."

"Huh, emmm me.."

Suddenly there was a motorbike parked outside. Maybe it was dad. He must be confused because there are foreign cars parked in the house

"Assalamu'alaikum."

He stepped inside, and was surprised to see a man sitting on the sofa with me. Then he approached us with a cold look and.......
