Mother To Aina

BUA 26

Wall clock shows at 20:00 WIB. Their little family is in the family room. Accompanying Aina who was playing was also Alvin who was watching an event that discussed business.

"Mother." whined Aina while approaching Haifa.

"Why baby? Sleepy?" ask Haifa.

Aina nodded.

"Jaudah we trim the toys first yuk. Abis it's just we're ready to be bobo." take Haifa.

As usual before going to bed Aina has been accustomed by Alvin to pee, brush teeth, wash hands and feet. Then you can get into bed.

Aina habit also every going to sleep always ask to be read a storybook. Usually the role was done by Alvin but now it has been taken over by Haifa.

Aina already looked yawning.

"Read do'a it's dear." said Haifa as she stroked her daughter's hair.

Aina according to him raised his tiny hand to pray and then rubbed it to the face.

Haifa continued to read the story while rubbing Aina's head until Aina fell asleep. It didn't take long for Aina to fall asleep.

Her job of putting Aina to sleep was done. Haifa went back down to the living room. To see if Alvin's still there. Turns out Alvin was still there with the same show.

Haifa held herself beside Alvin.

"Mas."

"Hm. Is Aina asleep?"

"Udah."

"Jaudah diem is here."

"You want to not?"

"Seek permission, what do you ask?" alvin said but his gaze remained on the tv show.

"The first time I took Aina to the park. Haifa, you know a neighbor here. His name is Mbak Fitri. And he said that he just lived in this housing for about 1 year really?"

"Yes." replied Alvin while nodding.

"Can't you?"

"Why not. People should move move."

"That's not what it means."

"You must have thought of it. This house used to be occupied by mas and Aina's mother huh?"

"Not really. Haifa made sure of that rather than guessing. Where did you live before? Same mother?"

"No. Previously I lived in apartment area x. That's Aina's mother's request. Because at that time he wanted to continue his master's degree at the University of P. So if it's far away."

"Yes, it's far away. Haifa's first pass here, Haifa didn't know anything about Aina's mother."

"So you diem find out about Aina's mother?" now Alvin's view is completely focused on Haifa.

"Yes abis mas did not recognize. So Haifa find out for yourself. Anywhere else Haifa should know about her mother Aina. Haifa did not want to be thought of because Haifa had kept Aina away from her mother."

"Eh wait. But I already told Aina's mom that I'm married, right?"

"Yes, I told you. In addition, it is also clear through a fairly long phone duration. Pas mas tell you the hell he said congratulations, he kept taking his name as well as what the candidate mas can nerima Aina. Yes mas answer if mas sure who will be a wife mas can nerima and can be a partner mas to raise Aina. He said yes thank God then he kept dropping pesen for you he said titip Aina."

"If the problem knows you or take you to meet him. Confused as to how, he does not live in Indonesia. It also seems like he is a very busy man. Sometimes every time Aina called rarely lifted. Mostly through chat he said sorry again meeting or something. Later plansain if for example there is a chance he came back here..."

"To here?" tanya Haifa cut off Alvin's remark.

"To Indonesia means. To her parents' house. Not here to this house. Haha jealous right?"

"No. How advanced?"

"Say if you're jealous."

"Yes. How advanced?"

"Ah ashamed of shame."

"Mas Alvin huh."

"Haha okay. So yes, I told him that there was a chance to go back to Indonesia. Ask to be informed. Not for anything but Aina still need to be on good terms with her mother and mas also want to recognize you to her" said Alvin

"But in the near future there are no plans to return to Indonesia."

"Do you know?"

"Haha, he answered at that time."

"Oh that. Yaudah that's it."

"So if you want to know about Aina's mother. Ask directly, don't find out for yourself. Moreover, looking for his year in this house will definitely not get anything."

"Haifa is afraid that the mas will feel that the past is always being revealed. Though Haifa's intentions are not so Haifa just wants to know and Haifa thinks Haifa needs to know about her as her mother Aina huh. Don't want to know her as a former wife."

"Judek ah. Haifa to the room." said to Alvin.

"No. Diem is here in an hour and he's done with the show."

"Mom tomorrow so go to mom's house? He said Zia's sister was going there too. If so let it be good it collects all. Gemes also wanted to meet Fiqri (the baby Vina who was born a month before Alvin's wedding)"

"Awas later Aina gets jealous loh."

"Yes a time of jealousy with his own cousin."

"Eh, don't get me wrong. That Aina was now again in euphoria of being able to have a mother figure. The proof now why would you want to be the same, right? So do not rule out the possibility that later Aina will be jealous."

"Leave a slow explanation."

"It's not that easy, baby. Adults only if happy again is suddenly difficult to say. Especially a little kid."

"Mas asked to be sent to watch the show. But now the show isn't even watched."

"You could have shifted my world" said Alvin.

"Euh start. It's like this."

"Furniture of red cheeks" said Alvin.

"No, no."

"You want to buy glass?"

Haifa did not respond again he preferred to play his phone while Alvin returned to focus on television shows.

An hour later, Alvin turned off the television. But Haifa still seems cool with her phone.

"But really. What else is it?" alvin asked while looking at Haifa's phone.

"You read the article on parenting?" alvin asked when he found out what Haifa was focusing on.

"Hm. Haifa has no experience with taking care of children. Even if learning from mama or teteh must be fleeting. So Haifa thinks we should learn more."

"God's Masya. Mas emang not wrong choose mother and wife for Aina and mas."

"Lebay. Haifa is going to the room. Ask for help mas lock the door, the same window turn off the lights." said Haifa then rushed to the room. But before that he had to go to the kitchen to get drinking water.

Alvin who had just walked into the room saw Haifa had just come out of the bathroom and had changed clothes. I don't know what's in Alvin's head but it makes Alvin remember something.

At 00:23 they are still awake in their usual position.

"What time?" haifa asked, closing her eyes.

"A hour and a half. There is still plenty of time to sleep" said Alvin while playing Haifa rambit.

Alvin felt Haifa nod in his chest.

"Papa... Mother.." the call they had already memorized.

Alvin and Haifa were equally shocked. Haifa immediately picked up her clothes then rushed to the bathroom.

"Pick the clothes on and keep the door open." cried Haifa from the bathroom.

Alvin could only smile in his heart already said 'Luckily Aina is coming new now.'

Meanwhile outside Aina was knocking on the door while on her tiptoes to reach the doorknob with her tiny hands. But unfortunately his hand is still not there.

"Papa... Mother.." call her once more in a firmer voice.

"Yes dear." said Alvin who just opened the door.

Aina who was in a sleepy state instantly spread her hands.

"Why are you getting up at this hour?" alvin asked while holding Aina and bringing her into the room.

"Aina's a dream" he said as he rubbed his eyes.

"What dream, baby?" alvin asked and put Aina to bed.

"Where's mama?" aina asked as she realized that there was no Haifa there.

"Mother in the bathroom. Aina what dream?"

"Aina dreams in a huddle-joke. Aina calls papa tama mother but papa tama bundana doesn't exist."

"Haha. Dreams are nothing, baby. Now we go to Aina papa's room until Aina bobo again yuk." invite Alvin.

Aina shook her head.

"You're bobo tini" he said.

"Dear, how do you wake up?" haifa asked who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Aina wants bobo tini" he said.

"Jaudah yuk bobo with mother" said Haifa and laid her body beside Aina.

"Mother's embrace." Aina's pinta was instantly granted by Haifa.

It didn't take long. Aina was back to sleep.

"Did it even eat?" haifa asked when she realized Alvin was still sitting and looking at them.

"Cepet sleeping mas. Later in the morning it is difficult to wake up Haifa stay." said Haifa.

"Yaudah hugged" said Alvin, laying down his body.

"You want Aina's tenacity?"

"Heuh. Yaudah was a child." said Alvin then kissed Haifa and Aina alternately before falling asleep.

After last night the first time they slept three and there was another first time for Alvin and Haifa. Now they're having breakfast before they go to mom's house.

"Mas wrong not after marriage we are now to the mother's house?" ask Haifa.

"God is okay. We have only been married 10 days early to bother moving and three days back and have started work." replied Alvin.

Honestly, the first time visiting with the status as a daughter-in-law and in-laws made Haifa feel confused. Haifa was at a loss as to how she should be afraid that Haifa did not please her mother-in-law.

Haifa shook her head trying to expel all her fears.

'Astagfirullah is Haifa so suudzon anyway. Though several times met also the mother of good people.' said Haifa in his heart.

Half an hour's drive arrived at Alvin's parents' house. Looks still quiet, maybe his brother's family has not come.

"Yuk get off." take Alvin.

Haifa took a breath first.

"It's really tight" said Alvin, rubbing Haifa's cheek.

"I'm sorry" Haifa said, fearing that Alvin would be offended by her attitude.

"What is normal."

They walk in tandem.

"Assalamualaikum" said Alvin, knocking on the door.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Uh Alvin, Haifa, Grandma's granddaughter has come. Yuk entered." take mother while leading Aina.

They sit in the family room. There also happens to be a father.

"Assalamualaikum yah." said Alvin then kissed the hand of the father and then followed by Haifa.

"Wa'alaikumussalam." replied Dad.

"Where's Haifa, Alvin's not being reckless, is he?" ask dad.

"Eh. Hehe didn't do it." Haifa replied.

"It is not good for Alvin mah" said Alvin defending himself

"Well it's good. But the weird cockroach of Vin's tea mane."

"No, Dad."

"Aina now rarely goes to grandma's house." said the mother to Aina.

"Hehe Aina kan teneng play in lumah tama mother. Kemalin Aina play in the park. Banak temen telu granny." said Aina.

"Yes but don't forget about grandma dong. Time because there are mothers so forget the same grandmother." said the mother again.

Degs... Blame it that Haifa felt a little bad about what mom said just now?

"This mother. Just 10 days not a month has not been discussed" replied Alvin.

"Yes that's it if only a few days have rarely been here let alone a long time ago right."

"Mom, it does not have to be those who come here if you want to meet mah can mother who there" said Father.

"Yes the time of the nyamperin parents." said the mother.

Haifa was silent. He was confused, willing to answer his fear of being counted in self-defense, did not answer his fear was thought to be unwilling to respond to mother's chatter.
