Mother To Ananda
CHAPTER 8
"I'm sorry, you're not comfortable here?" Salman rubbed Retno's back, calming. After Retno explicitly stated that she was willing to accept her feelings, Salman told her that she had fallen in love with Retno the first time she saw Retno's bead. Salman was frightened when he received the call of Retno who was crying at the time. He also tells about Nanda who always said that Retno is a good fairy mother who always accompanies Nanda. Nanda was so happy to tell everyone that he had Retno. Salman has said many times that Retno is special to them. Salman is convinced that Retno is not a replacement. The words of Salman who managed to make Retno cry so - so that made Salman reflex to pull Retno into his arms.
Retno took off Salman's embrace awkwardly, "no pa-pa. I'm just a little surprised" Retno chuckled, remembering how nervous she was when Salman brought her here. The reason, his visit to Salman's house this time, has nothing to do with work, but, is related to feelings.
Salman's thumb rubbed - a gentle swipe of Retno's forehead. His eyes could not be separated to look at Retno's face that looked sad. Traces of tears were still left on Ayu's face this woman. "I'm not comfortable talking about something like this on the outside. The effect I'm playing is not serious." Salman continued while inviting Retno to leave the park. Retno gasped in shock at Salman's sweet treatment that was unimaginable to her. He looked at his hand held by Salman's great hand. Very fitting. He smiled at the trail of colorful screen printing paint on the hand of this man.
For some reason, he felt proud of this man in front of him. It is not as rich as the CEO, it is not as brave as a state servant, but instead of hands that feel rough this is proof that how hardworking the man who is filling his heart. Salman turned his head towards Retno, when he felt Retno return to Salman's hand. Retno smiled when she saw Salman looking funny.
Retno arrived - suddenly remembered the three people who had peeked. Ningsih's mother was included in it, she was afraid that Salman's mother would not accept it. Retno wanted to ask Salman, but he was confused about what to call Salman now.
"Mass?" Retno asked doubtfully - doubtfully.
"Yes, honey?" Retno felt her heart seemed to want to jump out when hearing the call, Salman was the smartest to tease Retno.
"God." Retno fanned her face with her hands because she felt the heat radiating up to her face. Salman chuckles at the misdeed of the adorable Retno.
"Ehmm what do you want? Baby's? Honey? Sweety?" Salman again chuckled when he felt his waist pinched by Retno's small hand while growling.
"It's dark." Salman was increasingly widened when he felt the grip of his hand was removed Retno then walked quickly to leave her.

Salman looks grouchy when he sees Retno has been monopolized by Dira. They look like brothers who were separated a few years ago, then reunited again. Dira who was from childhood wanted his sister rather than men, immediately enthusiastic when he heard Salman would bring Retno to come home.
Until it ends as it is now, where Salman is sitting in a corner with annoyance, while looking at the two women who are so dear to him are sitting enthusiastically talking about the Korean drama that is being aired on one of the country's current TV stations. Salman increasingly hissed when he saw Dira taking Retno to his room. Salman can't let this happen. "Sir, Retno's mom still has the same business as Brother."
The women's second steps came to a halt, they simultaneously turned towards Salman with a frowning face in confusion. Retno raised her eyebrows cluelessly, "what the hell is Mas?"
"Ehmm, let's eat first!" Salman took over the hand of Retno who was held by Dira. He takes Retno to the dining room next to the kitchen. Dira frowned when she saw Salman turning towards her while sticking his tongue out.
"Momuuuuk, I want Retno's sister to be my sister. Swap. Swakarrr!"

"Hmmm. I'm going to your house now!" Salman rushed to get the keys. He seemed riled when he heard Retno's voice that looked different than usual. Retno said she would tell me everything when they met. He rushes to find Nanda to accompany him to Retno's house. It just so happens that today is Saturday, so Nanda's school is off.
"Did you want to come with Papa to Mother's house?" Nanda who was engrossed in playing his favorite spiderman robot, immediately looked up with happy eye twinkle printed clearly on his funny face. Nanda nodded his head enthusiastically. Salman scrambles his son's hair and then taps the cheek of the puffer Nanda.

"Mother." Nanda ran over to Retno, when he saw Retno open the door of her boarding house, he immediately embraced Retno tightly because it had been two days He had not met Retno. Salman smiled when he saw the interaction of the two people he loved so much.
"Mother where? Why not come in? Nanda kangen. Yesterday was taught Miss Nindya is not tasty, fierce. Yesterday, Silvi was crying because Silvi could not talk R, and Bu Nindya was angry." Nanda told a long story while still hugging Retno. Retno gave a small smile, stroking the hair of this child of her lover gently.
"Yes? Tomorrow Monday Mother help tell Bu Nindya not to be angry again with Silvi huh?" Retno took off Nanda's embrace with heart. Nanda who heard that immediately smiled widely. Retno kissed Nanda's cheeks gently.
"Emmmmm. Nanda's the one who's kissed?" Reflexes, Retno immediately glared at Salman with cheeks as red as tomatoes because of the handsome widower who was filling his heart. Retno immediately flicked her lips when she saw Salman chuckling with an innocent face for successfully teasing her.
"Look yuk! Mommy's got a lot of coloring books." Retno did not respond to Salman's comments. He leads Nanda into his boarding house. Salman tailed behind Retno while scratching his non-itchy nape. It's his own wrong behavior. Substantial. 😝
Retno invited Nanda to her room, where there were many coloring and drawing books. He then walked to the kitchen to make a drink for the two men. Take a quick glance at the living room to see Salman playing with his phone while leaning on the sofa. Retno smiled, imagining that if she was married to Salman, it would be like this more or less. A second later, he patted his own cheek for thinking too far. Retno rubbed her goosebumps before continuing her activities to make milk for Nanda and coffee for Salman.

"Where are you two days?" Salman leaned in as Retno sat next to him after putting Nanda to sleep. Salman, who was a little saturated because he was ignored by Nanda and Retno, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Nanda who said that he was sleepy.
Retno sighed in anger, the pleasure immediately seemed to monopolize the face of Retno ayu, who was originally sparkling happily. His eyes began to unfocus on looking at something. His palms continued to rub into the pants that He was wearing because he felt cold sweat began to come out of his palms. Salman who realized the strange gurgle of Retno began to clutch his lover's hand to stop Retno activities that could hurt his own hand. Retno looked agitated by continuing to bite her lower lip.
"Rethno? Darling?" Salman tries to restore Retno's consciousness that has begun to unfocus. Salman widened his eyes when he saw a little blood coming out of Retno's lips.
"Hey? There's no me." Salman touches Retno's cheek to stop Retno from continuing to bite her inner lip until it bleeds. Retno turned to Salman when she felt her cheeks being patted gently by Salman. His eyes glazed - glass, not long after tears immediately competed - the race wet Retno's cheeks. Salman immediately pulled Retno into his arms. Keep rubbing Retno's back to calm her lover. Retno sobbed in Salman's arms.
"Wednesday night I'm here Mas." What Salman does not realize is, Retno who continues to emphasize the nail of her left hand to her right wrist until it raises the point - the point of blood.
