Morning came too.
5 minutes ago, Haris told me and Alena that he would be away for a while, picking up someone who would be introduced to Alena.
Now before Namira came I was in charge of understanding Alena, who Namira is for Haris, for me and for Alena.
"So aunt Namira was his future wife Papa, later Alena also had to call Aunt Namira as Mama," I explained. Between my hands, I was busy combing Alena's hair, tying her up neatly to look beautiful when welcoming Namira.
"Papa's wife is two? Mama and Aunt Namira?" ask Alena anyway.
And I need to get straight about this, "No, baby, it's not like that. Mama and papa have been separated for a long time, so later the only wife of papa is mama Namira."
Alena was silent, seemingly thinking and I didn't know what she was thinking. "Mama Anin, mama Namira and papa Haris will be Alena's parents. Alena's happy, right? Now there will be many people who will love Alena, not just mama and Mbah Putri," I explained later.
Mother who was folding clothes on the sofa also heard my words, but she did not want to interfere. Has handed all those decisions to me and Haris.
Alena was still silent, looking very serious. Until I finished tying her hair, Alena was still silent.
"Done! Now that Alena is beautiful, we are ready to welcome mama Namira to come," I said enthusiastically.
"Mama Namira is a pediatrician, just like Anton. So later Namira's mom will definitely love Alena very much" I said.
"really?" ask Alena, who is getting interested in this conversation.
"Of course, that's why my mom said later Alena would have a lot of people who love Alena. Alena's happy, right?"
"Yes," replied Alena, I finally saw my son smiling wide again.
Alhamdulillahot. I hope there are no obstacles. Until we can all live in harmony.
"Now let's help Mbah Putri to fold the clothes, so when mama Namira comes all the places are neat."
"Ready, Ma," Alena replied enthusiastically. After her heart had improved, Alena could speak in a high voice like this. In the past when she was still sick Alena really like being in prison, unable to do many things, even just jumping and making a high voice can make her heart beat.
I put Alena's comb on the table, and we came together to Mbah Putri.

At 9am, someone we had been waiting for finally arrived. Mas Haris brought in a very beautiful woman. Even though we were the same age, my face looked older than her.
Our beauty does not need to be pitted, of course Namira is the winner. I even really liked her beauty.
I greet their arrival with a smile that is engraved wide. Mas Haris also directly carried Alena to make my little girl not feel awkward.
"Namira, this is Anindya, Alena's mother," said Mas Haris introducing us.
"Anin" I said as I extended my right hand. Thank God my hand is well received ...
"Namira," he said in a voice so soft. He even held my hand quite firmly, making this introduction feel warm.
"And this is Mbah Daughter Alena, Husna's mother," said Mas Haris again.
The last mas Haris introduced Alena who was carried by him to the future wife.
"The most beautiful of these is Alena, my dear child," explained Mas Haris.
"Hello Alena is beautiful, Aunt is Aunt Namira," explained the beautiful woman. I don't know why I'm happy also at this first meeting Namira still calls herself aunty. It was as if there was no compulsion he wanted to show.
"Hello Auntie, Aunt is also very beautiful. Mama said, later Aunt will also be my mama, is it true?" ask Alena directly.
I saw Namira looking towards Mas Haris, the two of them as if talking to each other from that gaze. Namira seemed to ask permission to answer his potluck and Mas Haris nodded small.
"Can Aunt Namira be Alena's mother too? If I may Aunt will be very happy," replied Namira anyway.
"Of course I can, I'll have two Mama. Mama Anin said many will love me" Alena said.
"Of course, Auntie will love Alena very much" Namira said as she stroked Alena's cheek gently.
This first meeting went very well. I also gave Haris, Alena and Namira a chance to be together. Threesome, so that the introduction feels more intimate.
I also smiled when I heard Namira managed to make Alena laugh.
"Mom saw Namira that's very good huh. Just like Haris," said the mother. We were in the kitchen, I sliced fruit and mom accompanied.
"Yes Mom, I'm so glad to see it. He is a pediatrician, said Mas Haris has also handled heart transplant patients. So Namira must be very aware of Alena's current condition."
Mother agreed.
While we were talking like this, Namira suddenly came to the kitchen.
"Mom, Ms. Anin," said Namira. He called me to be more polite he said, after examining our age I was a few months older.
"Namira, what are you gonna take? Let me get you," said the mother, she was prepared to carry out the order.
"No Ma'am, no. I just wanted to talk to Anin" replied Namira, but she looked bad at her own attitude.
As if Namira did not want to be treated with special, she could still handle her own needs.
"Well then, you guys talk, I'm going ahead" replied the mother.
"Thank you, Mom," Namira replied anyway. I also put down my fruit slices. Although not yet finished, I decided to wash my hands. I wipe dry and invite Namira to sit at the dinner table.
Such talk is inevitable. Namira and I have to straighten things out.
"Sorry Ma'am if my arrival is sudden, but Haris has repeatedly told me to wait," said Namira.
"It's okay Namira, I'm the one who should be apologizing. Your marriage and Haris so back because of us," I explained, I really showed my regret.
I also just found out last night about this, mas Haris said that his marriage with Namira was forced to be resigned because mas Haris was still concerned about Alena's health. Namira has sacrificed so much that Haris could no longer resist when Namira said she wanted to meet Alena.
"I'm sorry Ma'am for being suddenly present in your life."
"Don't apologize Ma'am. At first I was also surprised to hear this news. But this all happened even before I was in a relationship with Mas Haris. So I won't blame you two" replied Namira.
"Alena is a strong child, she has struggled to survive this long. So let's get along for Alena. Allow me to love him too" Namira asked later.
Really, I was so moved when I heard her words. Turns out to be true, Namira is a very good woman.
We also exchanged cell phone numbers, Namira said she wanted to know all about Alena's health. Because he can't come to the hospital often so he wants me to keep him informed.
We accept each other, which is why even when we first met it felt so close.
We ate together this afternoon in this room. Alena begins to learn to call Namira Mama.
At first my heart was slightly pinched upon hearing the call. Even though my mouth said it was okay, it still felt unwilling to hear Alena calling another woman Mama.
But I have to get used to it, make this pain my friend.
Because in this way we can live well.
"Mama Namira, I want a drink" Alena said.
