Luham unintentionally saw the whereabouts of Merry.
"Mother!" call Luham.
Merry immediately wiped her tears and gave her sweetest smile.
Luham ran towards his mother.
"Mother why is it there?" ask Luham.
"Eh. eh no, Mother just here! What's sister again?" merry asked while looking towards Liam as well.
"Mother's out crying, huh?" luham asked while observing Merry's face there were tears left.
"Mother is slicing red onions, sore, so her tears come out hehehe!" Merry reasoned while immediately cleaning up the remaining tears.
"Oh, that's it!" Luham believed in the reason for the lie made by Merry.
"Okay, Luham wants to go to the bathroom first Mother!" pamit Luham who was like a stomachache and rushed to run towards the bathroom.
In this room, only Merry and Liam remained. Merry tries to brave herself to get closer to Liam.
Seeing Merry's arrival, Liam wanted to hurry away.
"Wait Brother!" prevent Merry. Liam stopped too.
"Mother wants to talk dong, can you?" ask Merry.
Liam looks up at Merry.
"Where's Brother? Just a second!" Merry wishes Liam would be ready.
"Yes" Liam replied briefly.
"Here sit with Mother on the sofa!" take Merry.
When they sat together, they were silent for a moment.
"Mother can hug?" merry asked doubtfully.
"Why?" liam asked puzzledly because his Mother wanted to hug him.
"No papa, Mother miss the same Brother, want to hug! Can you?" ask Merry.
"Yes, I can!" answer Liam.
Feeling the green light from Liam, Merry immediately smiled happily. Without hesitation Merry immediately hugged Liam.
Merry hugged Liam tightly and affectionately. Merry also kissed Liam's head a few times.
Merry's eyes were dewy, but with all her might Merry held back from shedding her tears. While Liam just kept quiet in Merry's arms.
Liam felt the warmth of the embrace he had longed for. A mother's long embrace she didn't feel.
"No, it's big!" merry said with a smile.
"Later if Big Brother is very big, still want yes if Mother hugs this?" ask Merry who didn't get an answer from Liam.
Merry felt comfort as she hugged Liam. Merry's affection cannot be measured by anything to all her children.
"Mother is dear to Brother! If my dear sister is not the same as my mother?" ask Merry.
Liam just pecked in Merry's arms.
"No papa deh unanswered, the important thing is that Sister knows that Mother is very much the same Brother, the same Luham, and Emir!" merry.
It felt like Merry wanted to say a lot to Liam, but Merry was confused how to talk about it to Liam.
"Sister if you want to hug Mother anytime it can be loh! Hugged Mother straight away! Brother can tell you anything at will Brother! Free me!!" merry said with a small laugh.
Merry thought he didn't need to say much, Merry was afraid Liam felt intimidated in this.
Let Merry act and prove that she deserves to be their mother.
In terms of words, Merry is very guarding his words so as not to offend Liam especially with the situation of Liam who can not accept him. Merry was afraid later instead of getting closer and distanced himself from Liam.
Let Liam feel the affection Merry gave him.
*****
The clock shows at 16:00 WIB.
Merry stood by the window waiting
daris's Coming. His three children had gone to be picked up by Raya. Raya came here and now invites them to go to the mall. Be Merry home alone.
Long enough to wait, came Daris with two paper bags with food.
"Waalaikumussalam," Merry answered Daris' greeting as she approached her husband.
"The kids haven't come home yet?" ask Daris because he does know that the children are going with Raya.
Merry always told Daris about anything related to home and children. The kids left with Daris' permission.
"Yes not yet!" merry replied while observing Daris' appearance which was quite messy.
Merry also smelled a strong cigarette scent from Daris.
"Do you smoke?" Not Merry's name if you don't ask.
"Yes, it doesn't feel good for the client!" daris replied while handing the paper bag he brought to Merry.
"But there must be a lot of it, it just smells to sting gini!" merry protest.
"It's not good for clients if they don't come!" replied Daris while massaging the base of his nose.
"Yes not everything must be followed and not tasty, later if the client wants to spend the night with women, you also want to follow?" merry ceplas-ceplos.
"I already have a wife at home, it can't be like that!" argue Daris.
Merry smiled, "There's a shower!" merry's orders.
"Yes, I'm going to take a shower!" After saying so, Daris passed away.
After Daris's departure, Merry appears to turn cold like the old Merry.
"We end it now!" merry.
*****
In room
Not so pay attention to the circumstances around, Daris went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.
Even after getting out of the bathroom, Daris did not see five photos on the bed.
Until in the end, when he intends to lay down his body for a while.
Duar, like being struck by lightning, his chest was pounding and his eyes were unable to blink.
Daris saw five photographs lying on his bed.
Daris' hands shook taking one photo at a time. His legs were limp and he sat weakly in bed.
He looked at one of those photos. Not satisfied with just finding the photo, Daris immediately searched every corner of the room looking for if there were other photos besides this photo?
Finding nothing but the photo, Daris immediately ran out of the room.
"Mer Merry?" call Daris half-screaming.
"Mer?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" merry answered coming from the kitchen.
Realizing that he was still holding the photo, Daris immediately hid the photo behind his back.
Merry is curious about what Daris is hiding.
Merry also saw a nervous, panicked, and worried look that mixed into one on Daris' face clearly.
"What's up, Mom?" ask Merry.
"Mer, did anyone come here?" ask Daris nervously.
"Lord Only!" answer Merry as he is.
Daris looked confused and anxious.
"Keep, did anyone enter our room besides you?" ask Daris doubtfully.
Merry seemed to remember.
"No, I'm the only one who came into the room!" merry answered who was confused as to why Daris asked that.
Daris' heart stopped beating. It seems, his world is collapsing. Daris looked at Merry with an indecipherable expression.
Spontaneously, Daris immediately hugged Merry tightly. Daris hugged his wife as if she was leaving and he did not want to lose her.
"What's up, Mom?" merry asked confusedly.
"Don't go, don't leave me and the kids!! Please don't go, I can explain everything!" daris' voice was heard shaking from crying. In fact, Merry could feel if Daris was scared and panicked.
