But unfortunately, at once the small hand was immediately held by Husna.
"Don't take this one, it's for your brother." Said Husna while taking over the yam and immediately gave it to Melati.
"This is for you baby, let's eat, so you don't limp when studying at school later." Husna smiled at her daughter.
Melati who was also very fond of boiled yams immediately widened her smile and began to eat the yam cheerfully. But unlike the case with Rio, his face again looks so moody when looking at his brother who greedily ate the biggest piece of sweet potato.
"Rio, what are you waiting for? Let's eat fast." Said Husna who realized Rio had not eaten the yam in the least.
Poor Rio, lethargic as he finally grabbed the remaining piece of yam, he looked at the small piece of yam, and began to prepare to eat it, he looked at the small piece of yam, but Melati who saw it suddenly felt sorry for her sister.
"Hey Rio, do you want this one? This take it." Said Melati smilingly looking at her sister while giving her yam.
"Can it really be for me?" Rio asked lirih.
Melati also nodded with confidence.
It made Rio who was initially so sad, so started to smile and rushed to take the yam from the big brother's hand, but again Husna again withdrew Melati's hand as if forbidding him to share his yam.
"Darling, that's it, here's a sweet potato ration for you, let's eat and finish." Husna.
Making Melati finally fall silent as well as Rio who returned moody, he again lowered his head and then slowly began to eat his yam with a sad feeling.
Before long, Aryo was seen coming out of the room while tidying up his new clothes.
"What's the breakfast today?" His question was flat as he started glancing towards the table.
Looking at the breakfast menu that was just that and that was it every day, suddenly made Aryo's forehead immediately wrinkle, and, so clearly can be seen the look of Aryo's eyes that look very saturated looking at a piece of boiled sweet potato left in a dish.
"Haaah, yam again yam!" Ketus Aryo while looking intently at Husna.
Husna, with my face due to lack of rest was just staring nanar towards her husband.
"Sorry husband, but the money you gave me yesterday was just enough to pay Melati's tuition. So today I can only eat my own yam in our backyard."
"Alright, it's always your excuse! You are indeed a wife who is not good at pleasing husbands!!" Aryo snapped in front of her two young children.
It immediately made Husna so began to lower his head, then quietly began to shed tears because his heart again hurt with the words of the husband.
Similarly, the two poor children, they were just stunned to look at the faces of their father and mother in turn.
"Dad, it's dad. Don't be mad at me." Saying Melati slowly.
"Aaagh and you too Melati, you're too spoiled by your mother, so you're defending her like this!" Ketus Aryo who also snapped at Melati.
It finally made Rio come into shock, and continued to look at his father's face with a face that also looks very frightened.
Husna, who heard Aryo scolding Melati, immediately wiped her tears and immediately hugged Melati who at that time also continued to cry.
"Stop yelling at my son! You can be mad at me, but not at him!" It was Husna who straightened her gaze at Aryo.
Aryo also just smiled cynically while grunting rudely.
"You're really not a dick so mom, so picky! You saw him!!" Aryo snapped while pointing towards Rio.
"He's a kid, he's the one you should pay more attention to, not the jasmine who's grown up! If you look at it, Rio also looks scared, just like Melati, but only Melati you hug, what kind of mother are you?!"
"But what you snapped was Melati! Jasmine is precious to me, she is a substitute for Karmila, and no one can hurt her including you!" Resolute Husna who at that time seemed to no longer feel reluctant.
"Hahhh, long time in the hut this pain makes me hot and sultry!" Aryo left just like that while crashing into the rough shoulder of Husna.
Husna finally could only be silent, he even kept his eyes closed to hold back his tears that seemed to want to spill back then.
"Mom, why are you so mean to us?" Melati asked softly as she began to look at her mother's face with a sad look.
Seeing the innocent face of her daughter, made Husna again carve a smile and kneeled before her.
"Don't love, you're not evil at all, you're probably just being emotional for a moment. Please forgive me, yeah." Husna gently wiped away the remaining tears that were on Melati's cheeks.
"Emotion for a moment, but why do you scold your mom every day?" Asked Rio then.
Husna also started to look towards Rio.
"Here you are, you are too small to understand, let's finish your food immediately."
Rio again fell silent, he increasingly felt that if he was very differentiated by his own mother, he felt his mother only loved his brother because of his treatment that continuously privileged his brother above all else.
With tears beginning to shed, Rio finally continued to eat his boiled sweet potato until it ran aground.
Breakfast filled with drama was finished, now it was Husna's turn to take her children to school. Taking a long journey, did not make Husna and his children feel exhausted. How not, as if they were so used to walking, they never complained or felt soreness in their legs.
At that time Melati kept silent and again looked at the face of her mother who increasingly looks aging and shabby. Yes, during the household, Husna was never again able to take care of her face or body as before when she was still living with her rich parents. Coupled with the burden of life that she had to bear during her time as Aryo's wife, made her face become many fold older and began to have many wrinkles on her forehead and on the edges of her eyes.
"Mom, aren't you tired every day driving us to school on foot?" Ask Melati in the silence.
"Absolutely not dear, why? Why did you suddenly ask that?" Husna also began to glance at Melati while smiling thinly.
...Seriate......
