Mother to My Nephew

47. Talk Both.

Annisa is busy talking to Arya, Sometimes Annisa laughs at Arya's words. They look familiar like old friends. But when they were busy talking suddenly Rafa came out to Annisa then hugged Annisa's feet and his head looked up at Annisa.

“Mamah….Rafa wants grandchildren,” said Rafa spoiledly.

“Susu? Where's Rafa's milk? Rafa's stuff hasn't been taken out of the car. Rafa tells Om Toriq to get Rafa's things out of the car,” Annisa said.

Rafa went back inside the house.

“Who is it, Nis?” ask Arya to Annisa.

“Nephew. Sister's daughter cousin,” replied Annisa.

Toriq got out of the house while holding the keys to the car. Toriq passed through Annisa and Arya with a hostile face. Toriq walked towards the car.

“Who is it, Nis?” ask Arya to Annisa.

“Brother,” replied Annisa.

Annisa knows Toriq doesn't like Annisa talking to Arya. Toriq returned home with Rafa's bag and Toriq's bag. Annisa noticed the item Toriq was carrying.

After Toriq entered Annisa continued his conversation with Arya. But Rafa came back out to approach Annisa while carrying her milk box.

“Mamah bibimin Rafa grandson,” says Rafa with spoiled.

“Minta dibikinin same Ate Aisyah. Mamah again there are guests,” said Annisa.

“Ndak to cama Ate Aicah. It's like mama Mamah,” said Rafa while whining.

Seeing Rafa whining Annisa directly carrying Rafa.

“Udah make milk first, later chat again,” said Arya saw the fussy Rafa.

“Sorry yes, A. Rafa if you are sleepy is fussy,” said Annisa.

“Yes, it's okay,” replied Arya while rubbing Rafa's head.

“Aa saying goodbye first. Assalamualaikum,” said Arya.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Annisa replied.

Arya leaves Annisa's house.

“Let's make milk. Rafa's already sleepy, huh?”  annisa said then took the milk box that Rafa was holding.

Annisa went into the house through Titien's Mother, Elly's Mother and Pomegranate Mother who were talking. While Mr. Syamsul and Mr. Supardi were talking on the side terrace.

“Whose line, Nis?” asked Ua Elly as Annisa passed by the living room.

“Aa Arya, next door neighbor, Ua,” replied Annisa to Ms. Elly.

“Oh...,’ says Ua Elly.

“Annisa excuse me for making milk for Rafa,” Annisa said then walked to the kitchen.

It turns out Rafa is really sleepy. After drinking the milk Rafa asked in a cradle and fell asleep in Annisa's arms. Annisa moves Rafa to Annisa's room.

When Annisa came out of her room Toriq was already standing in front of Annisa's room.

“Can we talk to you both?” ask Toriq who blocked Annisa's road.

Annisa sighed then nodded her head.

“We talk outside don't be here,” Toriq said.

Annisa replied with a nod.

Toriq approached Aisyah who was watching tv.

“Aisyah, Brother titip Rafa, yes. Brother and Teteh want to go out first,” said Toriq.

“Teteh same Brother there need to be a moment,” replied Toriq.

“Do not long. Later Rafanya nangis,” said Aisyah.

“Iya, just a minute,” Toriq said,

Toriq and Annisa walk past Ms. Elly, Ms. Titien and Ms. Pomegranate.

“Tante, Toriq want to go out first with Annisa,” Toriq told Ibu Titien.

“Where are you?” ask Titien's mom in shock.

“There is a moment, Aunt,” replied Toriq.

“Annisa, who will cook?” mother Titien asked Annisa while pointing to the kitchen.

Annisa and Toriq looked at each other.

“Udah do not need to cook. We order online only,” said Ms. Elly mediate.

“Let them settle their affairs,” Mother Elly said again.

“Ya, already. Be careful on the road, yes,” said Ms. Titien.

Then Toriq and Annisa kiss the hands of Titien's mother, Elly's mother and Pomegranate's mother.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Toriq and Annisa.

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Ms. Titien, Ms. Elly and Ms. Pomegranate.

Toriq and Annisa get out of the house to Toriq's car. Toriq opened the door for Annisa. Annisa got into the car, then Toriq closed the car door and turned into the steering wheel. Then Toriq's car rolled out of Annisa's house.

Toriq turned his head to the right and left looking for a comfortable place to talk.

“Abang actually where are we going, anyway?” annisa asks who is confused why Toriq is looking for a place to talk far from home.

“Find a convenient place to talk,” Toriq replied while focusing on the road.

“Do we check in to the hotel? It would be nice to talk alone in a hotel room,” Toriq said.

Annisa was shocked Toriq spoke like that.

“Abang!!!!! How do you talk like that? Annisa doesn't like it!!” Annisa turned her head and was angry at Toriq.

Toriq who was driving was shocked to hear Annisa was angry.

“Ngak, Nis. Don't get angry dong,” Toriq said with a sorry face.

“Abang often, yes check in to similar hotels women?” annisa asked in annoyance.

“Ngak. I never checked into a hotel with another woman. Brother said so just the same Annisa, never said that with other women. Brother once slept in a room with women as well just as Annisa when Rafa was hospitalized,” Toriq replied.

“What do you consider Annisa a cheap woman who can be checked in?” Annisa glanced at Toriq in annoyance.

“Ngak Nis, Brother never considered Annisa like that,” Toriq replied regretfully.

“For Brother, Annisa is the Mama Rafa, even Abang hopes Annisa becomes Mamah her sisters Rafa,” said Toriq.

Annisa silently heard Toriq's words.
