"Sal, do you want it?" ask Aldo's mother.
"Mom, what do you want?" salsa.
"Are you serious about being a connecting mother to Farah and Fatah, Aldo's son? " said Aldo's mother.
"But I saw you look uncomfortable, just called my dear Aldo ? Yeah, I can't believe Aldo called you Yank, too, hehe. Because you never, except people who are very close to him and special to him.
Aldo has never called anyone dear except his family all this time that I know. And honestly I'm also kind of amused Aldo calling like that, but shouldn't you be happy at Aldo Yank right?" said Aldo's mother.
"God willing, Salsa answered one first. First, God willing, Salsa is ready to be a connecting mother for them, because Salsa loves Farah and Fatah very much. Salsa already considers Fatah and Fatah like her own children" said Salsa.
"Honestly, since long ago Salsa really wanted to enter the life of Aldo, and slowly Salsa entered the life of Aldo, approaching his children Farah and Fatah" said Salsa took a breath before continuing his conversation.
"When Farah loved Salsa, of course Salsa was very happy. Although Fatah could not love Salsa at that time, but Salsa did not give up. To the point where Salsa had to give up because of fatigue and the presence of Salsa was never appreciated. Not Farah or Fatah. Not at all, because Salsa also understands they are still children and need a process to be close to Salsa. Especially after the presence of Ainun who reminded them of their mother. But not because of that Salsa gave up, but because Aldo who never saw and realized the presence of Salsa beside him. Unless it's just the wind and Aldo's equal, this Salsa. Yes, at that point, Salsa had to give up and give up.
Salsa is also aware that loving Fatah and Farah does not have to be their mother first, right? especially when they misunderstand Salsa when Salsa refuses they call Mom.
It was so painful, and more painful than not being considered my presence by Aldo.
But the moment where Aldo asked Salsa to be his wife and mother continued for Fatah was also Farah. Salsa is between happy and afraid, at that time Salsa really did not know to be happy or afraid because Salsa was happy in the end Salsa could be Aldo's wife, salsa's love is avenged especially Salsa can be a connecting mother for Farah and Fatah who have been considered Salsa like his own child. But Salsa was also afraid that Aldo's feelings for Salsa were only temporary and would be easily replaced. Salsa was also afraid that Salsa would only be Aldo's escape after he was rejected by Ainun and Salsa was also afraid if Aldo asked Salsa to be his wife because of pity with Salsa who had always loved him refuse." said Salsa back and unknowingly the tear-spread had wet his cheek.
"Son, I'm sorry if I reminded you and made you cry like this. Sorry Mom and I apologize also yes mother's child who is insensitive and often hurt you unconsciously." said Aldo's mother regretfully.
"Yes, Mom is not papa. Ohya if why Salsa does not want to be called Yank with Aldo, because it is not what.
Perhaps the story is different, if Aldo called Salsa with that name when we were married, of course Salsa would be very happy and happy.
Because honestly Salsa is happy and does not believe, Aldo calls Salsa as Yank, especially when he knows it is only intended for people who really he loves and is special to him.
And Salsa is one of them, of course, especially so far only the family is called like that, right ? Of course Salsa was very happy, moved and could not believe that Salsa was called that way too and became part of the Aldo family . But not for now, that call. Because honestly Salsa is uncomfortable, amused also because it feels inappropriate.
Because we are also not married and there is any relationship that binds him.
Despite being tied up but not married, Salsa also did not want to be called like that, unless we were married. So salsa apologizes to Mom if Salsa disappoints Mom as well as Aldo" Salsa tried to explain.
"God willing, Mother is amazed by your change Salsa. Yes, I want to understand." said Aldo's mother.
"According to the mother is also better after marriage only the call, because when not married the call is said it feels inappropriate and amused itself also mother heard it. You are hijrah, right ? yes, the call is like that while not a halal couple, right?" said Aldo's mother.
"Well, ma'am, that's what I was thinking. But I was confused how to talk to Aldo afraid he misunderstood." said Aldo's mother.
"You take it easy, you try to be honest and explain slowly, God willing Aldo understands. I know what kind of mother's child, so you take it easy, don't worry too much." said Aldo's mother.
"Hemm okay Mom, thank you for encouraging me and his advice. I love my mom and I think of my mom as my own because my parents are gone" Salsa said.
"Yes son, ohya uda this is done. Let's go back there, same Aldo, Farah and Fatah" said Aldo's mother.
"Yes ma'am, yuk." said Salsa, and they immediately returned to the living room to chat with each other.
