Mother To Aina

BUA 18'S

It has been three weeks since Haifa accepted Alvin's call to know each other better. You could say at this time they have to make a decision to continue to the application process and ready to get married or stop.

But it seems like the first choice to choose. How not Haifa is getting closer to the Alvin family and vice versa. If at the time of submitting an invitation to get to know more Alvin only met Haifa's parents. But a few weeks ago Alvin had several times to meet and talk with Haifa's two brothers and sister-in-law. They were very friendly with Alvin.

Haifa too, today she is at Alvin's parents' house because there will be a 7 monthly Vina event. The Haifa family was also invited but mother asked Haifa to come first. And so a few hours before the event started Haifa was already at the Alvin family home to help with this and that.

The event went well, throughout the event Aina never separated from Haifa. Until the event ended and one by one Aina invited guests to return home still remained at home with Haifa.

"It's pretty not coming home, is it?" aina asked as she watched the guests leave the house.

"Back dong. It's been here." Haifa replied gently.

"Udah has a beautiful aunty so do not want to be the same aunty Vina ya hm." said Vina while pinching softly Aina cheek.  While the owner of the cheek has pursed his lips since hearing that his beautiful aunt must go home.

"Cock pouting?" ask Vina to the nephew.

"Aty pretty don't come home." whined Aina. He moved to sit on Haifa's lap and face Haifa's body.

"Dududu is spoiled, papa Alvin's daughter" said Vina, pinching Aina's cheek again.

"Ih aty Vina." whined Aina while clasping Vina's hand.

"Aty pretty don't come home." again Aina whined.

"Kan aunty has been here, baby. Later aunty is sought after by her mother aunty how?" haifa.

Aina went back to silence and pouted.

"Don't pout dong tomorrow will play again" said Haifa while rubbing both cheeks Aina.

"That's aunty's saying tomorrow we can play again. Aina don't be sad dong. Aina will also be able to anterin auntynya go home with Papa" said Vina trying to comfort Aina.

"Benel yes. Promise." said Aina filing a pinky finger at Haifa.

"Yes dear" Haifa said as she greeted Aina's little finger.

It was getting late in the afternoon, the guests almost went home all including the Haifa family. But Haifa was not told her family had gone home when she hoped to go home with her family.

"You going home now?" alvin asked while standing in front of the two women who were busy chatting. Who else if not Haifa and Vina.

"Yes, wait for papa's mama just now like still chatting with om and aunt." replied Haifa.

"Papa's mother you went home first" replied Alvin.

"Seriously?" ask Haifa.

"Yes, there are other needs he said." replied Alvin.

"That's yeah. Yaudah coming home now just means more and more difficult afternoon taxi onlinenya" said Haifa then rise from his seat. Followed by Vina who got up and a little assisted by Alvin because he began to object to his stomach.

"Yaudah if so Haifa said yes" Haifa said to Vina who was greeted with hugs and cipika cipiki by Vina.

"Om same aunt where is it?" ask Haifa.

"Outside." replied Alvin.

"Jaudah will leave you all out." said Haifa.

"You're coming home with me. I had permission from you" said Alvin.

"Eh But..."

"I happen to have no need to be with your Papa."

"Judah, it's okay Haifa is the same Alvin. Oh yes Vin, Ainanya in Fika's room earlier he said he wanted to join Haifa to come home" said Vina.

"Judek. You were saying yes to my father outside. I'll take Aina first."

"Om, aunt Haifa said yes" said Haifa to Alvin's mother and father.

"Eh home now?" ask mother.

"He was afraid of Maghrib in the afternoon" Haifa replied.

"Sama Alvin right?" ask mom again.

"Yes the same Alvin. All Alvin also wants to meet his Papa Haifa." replied Alvin who just came out while guiding Aina.

"Yaudah if Alvin says yes now. Assalamualaikum." said Alvin then kissed the hands of mother and father.

"Haifa also said yes ma'am. Assalamualaikum." said Haifa then kissed Mom's hand and cupped her hands to Dad's chest.

Haifa and Aina sat in the back seat.

That's how it was with Haifa, Aina never wanted to sit in front.

"Do you really want there to be a need for Papa?" tanya Haifa made sure.

"No, it could be another time. It is almost maghrib. Papa you also have some business outside." replied Alvin.

"But I said."

"Well, if not, then you're going to want to go home by yourself, right?"

"But Haifa is the father of nicotine. Not yet what has been ngerepotin continues."

"If you don't want to take it again you marry me. Let's go back to the same destination" Alvin said coldly.

"Please." said Haifa quietly.

"Haha. Gausaha salting dong. Yes, I know you are ready to apply. I was gonna now. But Papa you don't exist." said Alvin.

"Please sir. This is Haifa going down. Aina sleeping. Do you want to stay behind or move to the front?" ask Haifa.

"It's on your lap" replied Alvin.

"SIR!" reprimanding Haifa with a little tight until it made Aina slightly piqued.

"Haha yes, joking. I'm asking for a move forward, can I?"

On the next day, Alvin had contacted Papa Haifa and asked for permission to come home.

Alvin's nightly permit was right to come to the Haifa family home.

"So how?" papa asked after allowing Alvin to sit down.

"So this is om. Alvin felt he knew enough and felt it was enough to make a decision. If the family is pleased maybe next week Alvin and the family will come to the house om again to greet Haifa."

"Alhamdulillah. Alvin has made his decision. If you please just. But the decision is in Haifa." said Papa, glancing at Haifa beside him.

Haifa was still silent and clearly shocked. Alvin seemed to catch the look of surprise at Haifa.

"Haifa, I'm not demanding that you answer now. I just asked for permission if next week my family came to apply. There's still a week to prepare or consider" Alvin said.

"Surely someone wants Haifa to ask Mr. Alvin first."

"Ask aja. Indeed now is the time to get to know each other so any question that can now make you know me more then just ask."

"But maybe it's very personal."

"I answered as best I could."

Haifa seemed to catch her breath first.

"Sorry before. But if I may know what caused the divorce in the previous father's household?" ask Haifa.

Haifa's parents were shocked. But not with Alvin, he had expected questions like this would definitely arise.

"I'm sorry it wasn't Haifa's intention to open an old wound or whatever. Haifa just wanted to know. Sorry Haifa is afraid that if the previous divorce was caused by a third person from the father's side, Haifa is afraid that it will be repeated. Or the divorce caused by the DPRT, Haifa is also afraid that it will be repeated" said Haifa while looking down.

Honestly Haifa did not question Alvin's status as a one-child widower. But teach that Haifa has a fear of fear because she has not known Alvin before.  Especially about his previous home.

"I can explain. Do not worry Insha Allah my divorce is not due to infidelity or KDRT. My divorce was arguably because our principles turned out to be different. I want a wife who prioritizes family. And she is a woman who craves career and achievement. There's nothing wrong with wanting my ex-wife just that you're different. I support my partner if I want to be a career woman. But still have to remember nature. No matter how high his career, women have a position as a wife and mother that must be prioritized. And no matter how high her career when at home a woman is still a wife who must remain obedient to her husband while her husband is right."

"Do not want to be respected, adored or exalted. But it is natural that the husband is the leader in the household and the wife must be able to compensate. Not even to lead. Because it is impossible in a ship there are two captains. That's how I guess I'm not trying to exaggerate or reduce. It was indeed at that time that it was the case." replied Alvin calmly.

"Sorry." said Haifa quietly.

"It's okay. You can also learn a lesson."

"When we're married you'll let Haifa work?" ask Haifa.

"I will not ban. Origin can still sort out which ones should be prioritized. Because if you marry me. Then you not only change status to wife but you also change status directly to mother." replied Alvin.

"Do you believe that Haifa can be a good wife and mother to you and Aina later?"

"All processes. Nothing is perfect straight away. When later we are with us the same need to adapt both from me and you. Honestly, it makes me interested to ask you to be a wife and mother for me and my daughter because you are a foreign woman in the sense that it is not a family that can take my daughter's heart."

"What if at any time Aina's mother came back to the life of father and Aina. Then ask you to get back together and Aina is the reason?"

The question just slid from Haifa's lips.
