Mother To Aina

BUA 37'S

At 16:30 the raindrops accompanied their afternoon. Wet roads and very cold air are a sign that the sky has just cried.

Their little family still spends time in the house today. It's just that right now their position is in the back garden. The small garden that Alvin deliberately made to relax there is a gazebo measuring 2x2 and there is also a front swing that he deliberately provided for his daughter.

Enjoying the speck of rain in the gazebo while accompanied by snacks made by Haifa himself also accompanied his daughter who was cool with pencils and picture books, is a pleasure that Alvin is very grateful for.

"What do you think?" alvin asked in a voice that was kept from being heard by his little daughter.

"Where's what?" answer Haifa.

"Hm who last night told me. I want to know your point of view as a woman."

"Mas sure to ask Haifa? If Haifa's answer doesn't match what you'd expect? Are you angry with Haifa?"

Alvin glanced at Haifa at a glance. Then take a deep breath.

"But at least your answer could be a consideration for you."

"Mas hasn't made up his mind?" ask Haifa.

Alvin shook his head slowly.

"Mas did not allow that Aina he had brought there for a long time. But after thinking about it again, you can't be selfish either. He was also entitled to Aina and Aina was also entitled to him. I don't want Aina to know her real mom. Yes, if asked now Aina knows that she has a mother. But mas also did not want if he was only limited to know and did not know his real mother. You're not offended."

Haifa shook her head.

"Haifa was not offended. Precisely if Haifa can give input. It's good to meet Aina's mother and bring Aina along. Novia's mother is her biological mother she must also miss her daughter. Moreover, she was now pregnant again. Surely he also wants one day his children can grow up together, can love each other."

"Mas thought so too. Mas think that mas remains selfish not to bring together Aina and her mother because of fear mas. I'm afraid you'll get the sap."

"Haifa?" ask Haifa.

"Yes mas is afraid that later you are thought to deliberately not allow Aina to meet her mother. Or jealousy arises when Novia knows your closeness to Aina. Mas afraid of things like this even trigger new things." lamented Alvin.

"Not to worry. Insha Allah Haifa supports any decision of the people." said Haifa as she gently rubbed Alvin's arm.

Alvin was quiet for a moment.

"I think we should meet."

Haifa smile.

"Haifa feels good too. It's the same way they brought Aina along."

"It's not just the mas. But you are also."

"Maybe it's time for you as the woman closest to Aina to get to know each other. Let there be no jealousy or anything someday. At least if you know each other just to ask Aina news, Novia doesn't have to contact the mas."

"But you still have business to do, rather than just introducing Haifa."

"No dear. You still have to come. Twice met Novia always with her husband. And I'm always alone."

"So you're jealous?"

"Not jealous my dear. But I feel sorry for myself. May occasionally show off if you also have a beautiful wife."

"Haifa isn't what's on display?"

"You're not a darling. But being able to get it and have you is a great pride and achievement in your life."

"That's how Mr. Alvin" said Haifa, pinching Alvin's lips.

"Awww it hurts dear." said Alvin slightly shouting.

"What is takit papa?" aina asked directly to them.

"Papa's lips pinched the mother."

"Why is papa's bibil pinched by mother?" aina asked while looking at her mother.

"Haha, dear old lady."

"Say tolly tama papa mama." Aina ordered.

"Yes my dear."

"Papa, I'm sorry. Mother had pinched her lips" said Haifa.

"Kiss" said Alvin as he pointed at his cheek.

"No." Haifa replied.

"Honey, the parents don't want to kiss papa."

"Papa smelled tih." replied Aina while sitting on Haifa's thigh

"It's delicious" said Alvin.

Haifa and Aina were just the same laughing mocked Alvin.

"Oh yes. It's a shame here." said Alvin carrying Aina sitting on his lap.

"Aina want to see your mom?" ask Alvin.

Aina was silent then glanced at Haifa. Haifa just smiled. He did not want to intervene Aina. Even though her daughter is still a child, let her make the decision according to her heart.

The 3-year-old boy nodded.

"When do we see Mama tomorrow?"

"Meet mama?" said ensure.

"Yes met Aina's mother. Wanna?"

After Alvin and Novia divorced, it was only a finger that Aina met her mother. Even almost a year ago Aina has not met her mother. Again Alvin had to say this was all because of circumstances. Because he and his mother Aina lived far apart and they were just as busy. But even though not meeting can be ascertained if Aina really knows the appearance of her mother. Because if you do have free time Novia always contact through skype.

"Yes dong must be the same papa ma'am."

"Jude, come home from school tomorrow. Aina papa pick you up and we meet mama right away?"

After agreeing with Haifa and Aina, that night Alvin immediately contacted Novia. Of course, it was with Haifa's knowledge.

Ba'da dzuhur they had gathered in one table at a place to eat. Alvin deliberately reserved one room that was quite private. Alvin thought this was their family problem, it was not worth it if there were to be many people who heard and became public consumption. Her spirit is a little awkward. But the contact that gathered were all adults except Aina. So they try to make the atmosphere as comfortable as possible.

"Novia, Brian, this is Haifa. My wife." said Alvin.

"Assalamualaikum." said Haifa with a friendly smile. Like women in general Haifa and Novia cipika cipiki.

"Pretty Vin." Novia.

"This is Aina's choice. Before Aina could call her Aunty beautiful" said Alvin.

"Well, you're a smart mama's kid." said Novia.

Aina just smiled.

"Aina here with mom." take Novia. As if understanding and unwilling to disappoint her mother Aina approached Novia and sat down beside her.

"Novia, Brian. I'm sorry. Yesterday I refused too hard. I shouldn't have behaved like that. Her real mom Novia is entitled, after all. Now I invite you to sit at a table. Maybe we can go back to discussing this with a more relaxed atmosphere." Alvin said.

"I'm sorry, too, Vin. Maybe yesterday was too sudden to tell you. By Allah, I have no intention of taking Aina away from you. I've been made quite sorry by the choice of my life that keeps me away from Aina" she said while rubbing Aina's head which was then wrapped in a hijab.

"I promise I won't force Aina to want to stay with me even if I want to. I was aware enough to let Aina be comfortable with whoever it was. If Aina is with you, I am sincere because you are her papa. I believe you will always look after and strive for the best for Aina."

"Over this time we communicate quite well even though it is sometimes constrained by differences in time and busyness of each."

"Yes I also don't want Aina to break up with her mother. I also came with my wife. Because I don't want to go ahead there's jealousy about Haifa and Aina's closeness."

"Honestly, Aina spent more time with Haifa every day. Because I work. But you don't worry I can guarantee that Aina is well-maintained and well-educated."

"Aina was close to Haifa even before I married her. There was also a time when Aina would rather be with Haifa than with me. This I don't make. Nor to provoke or provoke jealousy. I'm just talking the reality of their closeness."

"Said not jealous but honestly there is jealousy. But I can't do anything, it has to be like this. I thank Haifa for accompanying Alvin to take good care of Aina. Since Alvin told me he's getting married again. Honestly, I'm very happy. Because what I think of one, my son is there to help take care of other than his papa. I know Alvin is busy too, honestly I hope a lot for the Alvin escort to be able to help take care of Aina and hear Alvin's explanation, I am very grateful and grateful.  Thank you Haifa for helping me and Alvin to take care of and educate Aina."

"Mbak Novia doesn't have to be like Haifa. After Haifa legitimately became his wife Mas Alvin then Aina also automatically became a trust that must be maintained. Haifa was happy to be with Aina, being close to Aina was never a burden to Haifa at all. Helping the Alvin and Novia ma'ak to look after, care for and educate Aina was also a responsibility and obligation for Haifa."

Novia smile. He's not a hypocrite, there's jealousy when he finds out Aina is very close to his mother. But one Novia must also be aware of the circumstances. This is his choice, he who chose to organize life in the land of people. One of the consequences that Novia has to bear is like this, away from her family and her first daughter. If asked Novia regretted? There must be some regret. But life is a choice. He who chooses must also accept the risk. One way that can be done so as not to increase his regret is to sincerely accept.

"Return to the question of me who wants to bring Aina for the next few months, how is Vin?"

"How long is certain?" ask Alvin.

"Annement. At least until I gave birth, Aina could see her sister and until I was discharged. After I've finished my leave, I'll take Aina to your house."

"Yes right after Novia runs out of vacation later we will deliver Aina to you alone" said Brian asserting Novia's words.

Alvin was silent he took a breath before giving an answer.

"Later we will also give you our address there. So if in that one month you want to meet Aina. You just come" Brian added.

"I'm allowing. But we are the same as asking Aina herself." replied Alvin.

They all now turned to Aina who had been cool enough to eat chocolate cake so that it had been drunk where.

"Jeez, Aina is really troubled. Don't be so dirty. Well, here's a bribe mama let's not get dirty" said Novia while taking the cake plate and spoon from Aina's hand.

"Aina wants to tendili." he whined while trying to reach back the plate and spoon in Novia's hand.

"Same mama in a bribe just let not be troubled. Aaa." said Novia as she fed Aina a spoonful of cake.

"Aina byta really." said Aina still forced.

"No dear. I was mother of aja. Here again." stressed Novia.

Aina just resignedly did not whine anymore because she had heard Novia's voice change. Alvin and Haifa did not talk much. Honestly they feel there is a difference in parenting between them and Novia. They always apply and accustom Aina to be independent by letting Aina do whatever she wants herself which is certainly still under their supervision. As with eating, if not pursued time they always let Aina eat alone even though it takes a long time or so messy and dirty anywhere. But from that small habit they feel many benefits one of which Aina is accustomed to eating alone. Troubles and messes are natural.

But it seems that now applied another Novia. Alvin and Haifa can't blame. Because if they blame, there will be new problems. Novia could not accept it and feel that what she did was the best.

"Well, if mama's bribe becomes spit and so do not mind where to eat" said Novia while wiping Aina's lips with a tissue.

After feeling that Aina was already clean, with a heart Novia raised Aina on her lap. Quite difficult because of the position of Novia's stomach that has been enlarged.

"Aina Mama would like her name to be the same as Aina?"

Aina nodded.

"Aina won't come with me?"

"Where are you?" ask Aina.

"So Aina will be at my mom's house. Aina wants to have a dede. Soon the dedenya will come out of the belly of the mother. He said his dedenya wanted to meet Aina's sister. Aina wants to, right?"

"Papa's name? Mother's name?" tanyakanya.

"No. Aina's just the same mom as daddy."

Aina turned her head towards Alvin and Haifa.

"Papa sama give permission if indeed Aina wants" said Alvin.

Aina was silent. He looked like a thinking adult.
