My Past Stories

26. Early

Day change day. Two months after I gave birth, Alva and Rini got married. He was followed by Antoni in the next few months. Also at the age of Azka, Sania also married a man of her choice.

It's been four years of my marriage and Dillah's. It is also three years and four months of Azka's age. He's becoming a smart kid. Start learning to read and teach, and want to know everything he just saw. Although the talk still can not be smooth or can be said still slurred, but really my son Azka is a smart child.

Tonight, he learned to teach with me after the Maghrib prayer. He already knew some of the hijaiyah letters that I and Dillah taught. In fact, he can count to the number 20 and can memorize alphabetic letters even though sometimes there is still missed.

Dillah came home when he knocked on the door and said hello.

"Pipe home !" I said to Azka.

"Puyang's cheeks.." Shouted Azka while running around in a dark green cocoa suit towards the door.

I opened the door lock and opened it, revealing the figure of Dillah who looked tired with her smile. "Child Cheek !" He held Azka and kissed her. I immediately greeted Dillah's hand and kissed the back of her hand.

"I made tea, brother !" Tawarku who was taken in by her while carrying Azka towards the tv room.

I locked the door and headed straight to the kitchen. I heard this father and son chatter in my ears. Dillah asked and Azka answered.

Every day Dillah always come home at night, even a few times until late at night. Azka and I faithfully waited for her return in the tv room to accompany Azka who watched cartoons on DVD.

"Assalamualaik." He said behind the door, knocking.

"Waalaikum salam." My heart and walk forward to open the door. "So good, brother, O Allah !" I greeted Dillah's hand and kissed her.

"I'm sorry. I am doing a lot of work about it ! Where's Azka ?"

"In front of tv overslept waiting for my sister."

Dillah went straight to the tv room and I went straight to the kitchen. He saw his son for a while and went to the bathroom to clean himself up. Finished, he carried Azka to the room and put her to bed. I came with a glass of warm tea and chocolate jam bread for Dillah. Because when it's night, Dillah won't eat heavy food.

"Thank you dear." It was sweet to me. "Together."

Dillah patted the bed next to her which signaled me to sit next to her. He took my body into his arms, I who was used to his treatment just returned the favor.

But. This time Dillah hugged me so tightly and told me I couldn't leave. I was confused as to why Dillah said that. But if only I could say yes, I thought maybe Dillah was afraid I was angry because right now he is always busy with the world of work.

Three months passed with Dillah who always and always go home until late at night, and had to work on Saturday until the afternoon. But it's not all in vain because of his work Dillah bought me a new car.

I am so happy to always be spoiled by my husband. I feel like I'm the luckiest woman in the world to have a super loving husband with me and my son. Dillah said it was my birthday that was delayed a few months ago.

From home, motorbike, car, jewelry, bonus money and overtime money to salary money were all given to me. In fact, he's all overriding it in my name. So, where can Dillah buy that car ? Yes, of course he has his own savings. Because all that was given to me was only 50% of the money.

"Sa, know this is Desi my wife." Say Dillah to the beautiful woman.

"Elisa, ma'am !" He stretched out his hand.

"Satio." My heart welcomes him and smiles.

"Where are you from ? Ko rame-rames ?" Ask Dillah to me.

"Out of the audience at the other council, brother. I happened to pass by here and keep seeing my brother. Yaudah I invite all the mothers here to lunch, all I meet brother."

"oh that. Yaudah what do you want there ?"

"Yes. Brother Elisha what is here ? This is far from the factory ?"

"We met a dear client. Yehudah, shall we have lunch here, Sa ?"

Elisha nodded quickly, but his gaze looked awkward at me. I tried to melt the atmosphere by talking to Elisha just asking about him. He is still young, he is 23 years old. It was only two years different with me.

"Sir, Mum. Elisha first yes, it's not good to be this mosquito !" Joking at me and Dillah.

"Eh don't Sa, you'll be here with my husband, his time home first anyway. Let's just say, I'll have mothers there so gapapa you as well as my husband all the factory."

"Related Des ?" Ask Dillah to make sure. I just nodded.

"Judah I am first. You be careful on the road, don't speed it up !"

"Relax, I'm not the one driving but Vita ma'am dear !" My solute.

Dillah kissed my forehead and I grabbed her hand and kissed. Elisha greeted me and lowered his head with a smile, I replied with a smile.

After the departure of Dillah and Elisha, I joined the mothers who were busy. Haha

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I reached my in-laws' house and picked up Azka who I had left there this morning. Because I'm afraid Azka will get bored if she comes to study with me.

After a while I talked with my mother-in-law, I immediately say goodbye because time has passed ashar. I drove my car slowly, so it took almost half an hour.

I don't wanna laze around. I finished bathing Azka and running the ashar prayer which was almost too late because it was now five in the afternoon. I went straight to the kitchen to cook for dinner. Azka was playing with her toys in the tv room. I only cook fried chicken, fried tempeh and vegetable soup and sambal. Of course what I cooked didn't take long.

Until the sound of knocking on the door when adzan maghrib reverberated and accompanied by the word in. I opened the door and smiled at my husband and took his hand to kiss him. He immediately entered and was greeted by Azka who was ready with her brown cocoa.

Dillah immediately headed to the bathroom to clean himself, then he changed clothes by wearing cocoa and sarong. We also pray Maghrib.
