I have reached home. With a big smile I looked for my mother. I'm preparing the dishes for dinner tonight. Immediately I approached Mom and hugged her from behind.
"Eh, Ayu!" exclaimed Mother who was surprised by my treatment.
"Goodoo, Mom. Ayu had filed a divorce petition with the religious court," I told Mother.
Mom stopped her hand weeding vegetables.
"Hurry up that process from the police station?" ask Mother.
"No, Ayu met Hana earlier, and Hana gave her Ayu's marriage book" I replied.
Mom turned her body and looked at me in disbelief.
"Alhamdulillah, hopefully your business will be approved quickly. Aamiin," said Mother with a prayer, Mother smiled happily.
"Aamiin, Mum. May your prayers be answered quickly," I said assured.
"Yes already. You take a shower first. I'm gonna finish this." Appoint Mom on the job in front of her. I'm nodding.
"Where love?" I asked when I didn't see the little girl.
"Mom told the stall for a while to buy brown sugar with ijo beans, I want to make bean porridge for later tonight," replied Mother.
"Oh, yes, I have. Let's take a shower first, continue to want to finish the job," I told my mother. I already know about my freelancing job.
I hurried to go to Mother's room which is now also my room, while my room became Sinta's room. I was so worried about my mother that I slept with her every night.
After taking a shower I finished my work in front of the laptop. Feelings of the heart that are happy to make themselves become light in thinking.
Not felt, it had been an hour more I wrestled my world in Mother's room until the sound of knocking on the door sounded slow.
Sinta called me for dinner.
The conversation took place between the two of us, while Sinta went home. Sometimes I remind him to remember coming home. Don't let her family think that Sinta would rather live with us than with her own family.
"Can't Hana love that book?" ask Mom to me.
"It could be, Mom. Who would want her husband to have a wife of two, yes she wants to have Mas Hilman alone, lah!" I said to Mom. Remember that I didn't want that either.
"When is the trial?" ask Mom again. I shook my head.
"Someone will call, Mom. Ayu also does not know how later," I replied.
"Mom also does not know, I have no experience about divorce like this. Mother will be divorced from your father's death," said Mother with a sad face.
"Hopefully it will go well, ma'am. Yesterday ...." I was silent, hesitant to continue.
"That's ... Doctor Wira also ...." I fell silent again to the point of confusing Mom with her gaze towards me.
"Why Doctor Wira?" ask Mom in curiosity.
"It turns out that Doctor Wira knew about Ayu getting divorced. Who said yes, Mom? I don't know if the doctor knows," I told Mom.
She looks uncomfortable in her seat. A clumsy smile was seen on his lips.
"That's .. sorry, Yu. I mispronounced that time with Doctor Wira. I accidentally slipped."
"Mommy accidentally told Doctor Wira that you no longer live with Hilman. Forgive me, yes" said Mother once again. I wanted to pat my forehead, but I didn't feel sorry for you feeling more guilty.
"Yu, it seems like Doctor Hero likes you, huh. Mother often sees that she is not looking at you, by mistake" said Mother sounding enthusiastic. Mother until justifying her sitting position so upright and slightly leaning towards me.
"Looks like him like you" said Mom, smiling seductively. Her eyes glowed differently from these few days.
"Mother what the hell? If you often see also not necessarily he likes the same Ayu!" I don't like it.
"Are you not trusting Mom? This mother has outlived you!" Mother did not lose her voice in an exclaiming tone while pointing at me.
"Mom sure. Lha wong, the look in her eyes is different!" say Mother again.
I feel weird about this conversation. Bringing the name of a stranger in our conversation. Ah ... It was my fault that I also mentioned her name.
"Udah deh Ma'am. We're having dinner again, let's talk about Doctor Wira." I'm trying to end this conversation.
"You were the one who talked about him first."
"Please don't talk about her, just mentioned her name a little bit, why did you even connect to her?" I don't like it.
"Yes, I'm talking about facts."
"Facta what? It's not clear yet. In addition, this woman's doctor is already well established and mature, maybe she already has a candidate. Don't let me think of the no-no!" I stared lazily at the mother who was now pursing her lips. I hope what I thought just now wasn't on Mom's mind.
"Who said he had a candidate? Mom used to ask, she said she wasn't close to anyone. If he wants to get close to you, you want to not?" mother asked me with hopeful eyes.
I scratched my eyebrows, suddenly itchy there.
"Mom don't fuck, deh. Let's not get divorced from Mas Hilman."
"Can be a minute, Yu. Soon you want a divorce with Hilman. If Doctor Wira approaches you, it will be good. I think I can calm down if you're with someone as good as him" said Mother again.
I exhaled to hear Mother's words just now. My divorce is either done when, this is Mom wants to match me with him.
"Mom, don't be like that. First, Ayu is not divorced. Second, Wira doctors do not necessarily like Ayu. Third, what is the view of others that Ayu just divorced continues to marry other men? Do you know how people are here? I want a break, Mom." I looked at my mother sadly. It wasn't my intention to fight back to Mom, but it felt like what I said earlier was too much.
Mother lowered her head, the face that had been sparkling now became gloomy.
"Sorry Mom. Sorry if Ayu makes Mom sad, but Ayu just wants to rest a little while from connecting with others," said the mother.
Mother breathed her rough. "Yes, I'm sorry if you think that. I'm just afraid if Mom's life isn't long, who are you with? No one's protecting you yu." Mom rubbed the corner of her eye. The atmosphere that had been fine was filled with sadness.
I approached my mother and hugged her frail body.
"Mom can't don't talk like that? You will live a long life, the doctor will help you with the operation. Don't talk like that anymore, Mom. You have to have positive thinking!" I told my mother and convinced her. I really don't want you to have such short thoughts.
"Did you leave me alone?"
"It is precisely because Mother cannot bear to leave you Ayu. I want you with a good man, so I can calm down." Mom stroked my arm gently.
My tears can't be contained anymore. I tried to be strong but I couldn't. Thinking about the mother who will face the operating table, of course I feel afraid too.
"Let's not gonna hear you talk like that anymore. Although he is old no one will know, but Ayu does not want to hear it from mother," I said begging.
Tonight is full of haru. Sadness that rippled in each other's hearts. I think about my mother's health and think about who I would be with if not with my mother.
