Chapter 9: Mother's Home

“Mas I'm off today, I want to go to mom”'s house

That was the first sentence Wine spoke upon waking up. For some reason, Arka think the incident of yesterday's photo that makes Wine want to go home to the mother who is quite far from here. If they were to go and go home in one day, it would obviously be exhausting. Moreover, Arka today also had to go to the squadron to complete his work that piled up due to the release of a new fighter yesterday.

Not immediately replied, Arka kissed his wife's lips in accordance with the articles they made before marriage.

“I Love You, bun”

Wine nodded “ I love you too, yah” Wine replied.

When he saw the position of Wine who was about to wake up, Arka again pulled his wife's body back to lie next to him. He hugged Wine tightly while closing his eyes, afraid that the answer to the question he was about to ask was something Arka most did not want to hear.

“Not because of last night's problem right deck?”

For a moment Arka's heart skipped a beat while waiting for the answer from Wine. If the answer is he, then Arka's heart will be destroyed because it is unable to hold what he promised him Wine first. Trying not to hurt his wife, failed already.

As her cheek rubbed Wine, Arka opened her eyes slowly. All he saw now was Wine smiling beautifully at him. “Not a deck?” ask Arka again worried. The sound of drums from the bottom did not make Arka want to rise from his position.

“Lies if Wine replies no bang”

It was as if a bomb had exploded. Arka closed her eyes again and pulled Wine tighter into her arms “ Sorry ya dek”

“I'm not done talking about bang”

“Sorry brother if it makes you disappointed, sorry brother if it makes you hurt again, sorry if brother makes you remember your trauma again, sorry if brother.”.

“Bang, Dengerin Wine first yes” cut Wine.

Still in the position of hugging his wife, Arka nodded.

“Wine wants to go to the mother's house because of yesterday's problems, but not because Wine does not believe in brother. Wine was even disappointed with himself Wine himself because he did not believe the same brother even though we have been married for more than 5 years. Wine peek to mom's house and ask for same woo ibu”

Arka gives distance to their diatara to see directly the eyes of his wife “ Abang understand if you suspect the same brother. Sorry about dek”

Wine shook his head, all these problems they solved last night. And everything just starts from the misunderstanding “Not wrong brother really. Maybe I am just a traumatized by the past so I myself am too parno mas”

“So want to mom?”

Wine nodded. Asking for a message to the mother via the phone is clearly different than her who came directly there. After all, it has been almost 1 year also Wine has not visited the house of his adoptive mother because of work.

“But I can't go to deck. If tomorrow only fitting a holiday how?”

“Wine inventor meet mom mom now mas. Pretty 2 days I have off because before the mas” night shift

Arka nods “But mas can't deliver anything?”

Again Wine nods “I can bring my own driving with the kids, most probably Laksmi I brought”

“OK. I hope the best for you. What time do you want to go?”

“About 6 hours at most mas, let's not too jammed”

***

“Alhamdulillah nyampai too, jammed really huh?”

After a trip that takes up to 8 hours plus Wine must drive alone to get to the mother's house. Making Wine's body feel screaming asking to rest. Usually every time you go to your mother's house, Arka will drive and refuse when Wine offers to take turns. It feels so exhausting.

Wine smiled then hugged the mother's body tightly. Mother's swipe was on her back, making Wine's defense since morning collapse instantly. Not to cry considering there are two sons, Wine just hugged the mother tightly as if asking for strength in a woman whose almost all hair turned white. Next to him was a father who now also patted Wine's back three times before finally inviting Aaras and Arsya into the house first.

“Sususah ya deck so wife, it's okay to cry first”

Just as the sentence entered his auditory senses, Wine's sobbing sound softened as his hands covered his mouth to reduce his sobbing was heard inside the house.

“Aduh son mother is still not healed also turned out” said mother again while re-wiping punggu Wine.

On the other hand, Alin and Akhtar who just got in and out of the car chose to turn in through the back door when mother gave them a code.

The Wine's defense completely collapsed now, the tighter his embrace of mother the more it collapsed his defense. The memory of the events that happened to him at that time even had entered into his dream last night, everything was played clearly like a new cassette in his dream, from the beginning to end by seeing a crying mother. If Arka hadn't woken her last night, her dream would have continued until the accident.

Mom didn't talk anymore, she just kept patting Wine's back trying to calm her daughter down. In the days of High School, Wine always came with the hilarious things that he brought, which made the mother always carry a broom every Wine arrived at home in school hours. His behavior will make the whole house laugh. But in contrast to today, Wine comes with confidence that comes down derastically.

After almost a few minutes Wine cried in her arms while standing up. Eventually Wine managed to control his own emotions. Breaking their arms, Wine wiped away the traces of her tears, while mother looked at her with a smile.

“This rest cries?”

Wine nodded, slightly bent to massage his own calves which began to feel sore “Udahan bu. feet Wine pegel if cry while beridiri”

Mom laughed hearing that. Either way, the nature of Wine is still categorized as magical.

“Should've asked Wine to sit first dong, so can be satisfied crying without leg pain like this” continued Wine.

“Why did you even turn on mom? How do you want, we sit first so you can continue crying?”

This time Wine laughed. Talking to my mom feels like a supplement to Wine. “Yes already ma'am, sit yuk. That's how if we sit down Wine can continue crying, just assume there was an ad that passed the Wine nangis” pass

“Well can yes, cry use connect so?”

“Can dong”

“Eh but do not deh, later the house of the flood mother if you cry.”

“Yaudah Wine joking means yes”

“Don't either, make you stale. I want to squirm Aaras aja who laughs inside. No, no denger? on laughing noh inside.” Mother said and left Wine alone in the yard.

Grandchildren are much more valuable in the eyes of grandparents than their own children.

For her problems crying. Mother usually does not immediately ask what happened. Mother will usually choose to be silent first without asking anything, as if giving time to her children to think again need to tell it or not.

Wine remembers that the mother had also said that problems in the family were better to be solved in the nuclear family. But if it can't and needs help or new input Wine and Alin is allowed to talk about it to mom. The arrival of Wine to the mother's house is not to talk about the problem with Arka. Wine just wants to ask for a ban without anything related to what happened to them last night.
