Sharing Love: My Preferred Husband

Seizing the Grandson

Because Laila said yesterday that she wanted to go to school today, Anjani would not let her. He hides his uniform for fear of getting dirty. Laila whines and Anjani tries to persuade her.

"Ila, we're going to Grandma's house now." Anjani told Laila.

"To my mother's house?" Suddenly Laila was immediately interested.

"Yes, you want to?"

"You Mah, you want! Yes now!"

"Yes, you're wearing a nice shirt now."

"Yes Mah!"

Laila was naked because she had taken a shower. He wanted to wear his school uniform, but quickly he wore the fine clothes chosen by Anjani.

After putting on his clothes, he sat back to Anjani. Her short hair over that shoulder in the 2nd pigtail. He was ready to go and so were the others.

Today Adwi has no duty nor schedule to go to the village. So he can take Anjani with his children to the house of Mother. Because he was busy with his duties as a lurah, work as a nira tapper was rarely he lakoni.

Previously, the noisy Adwi butut motor has now changed to be better and meet the standards. He used to sell his bike and buy a new one with extra money from his savings.

As usual, Laila wanted to sit in front. He really likes to be invited to go for a walk, especially to his home, because the trip there is far away and treated with eye charm.

"Mom, I can already memorize multiplication!" Laila said at Mom's house.

"Wahh. who really? Who are you taught to?" Ask Mom.

"Just like Mom."

"Try me, I want to be horrified."

"One time one, one. Twice one, two, ..."

Laila mentions multiplication of one to five smoothly. Smoothly at the beginning only, the order of one, two, three, and so on multiplied by the principal number. As for the result, he had to count first using his finger.

"Four times three, mmm. earlier (previous result) eight, plus four. Nine, ten, eleven, twelve!" Laila looked serious counting her fingers.

Although not yet smooth, but the Mother who saw Laila was very serious, feeling proud. At a young age and not yet in school, he can already be considered smart.

There, Laila plays with Dimas, her son. He is now 4 years old, the same as Riki, but Dimas was born earlier than Riki. Dimas' name, Anjani himself proposed it. He likes it because it is called the name of the artist.

It was strange to see Laila having an uncle younger than her. Anjani also looks the same age as Mom, even though their relationship is mother and child.

"Well, I'm going to stay at Mom's!" Laila said as she drew something on paper.

"Yes, but if your father picks you up here, you have to come along."

"Yes Mah!"

Anjani accidentally let Laila stay at Mother's house so she forgot about her elementary school. The child who was the cabi was not put into kindergarten school. Because the place must be taken by vehicle, so Anjani prefers to teach him personally at home.

Already long ago when Laila was invited to Mother's house, of course he always wanted to stay overnight. Even Adwi had come all the way there just to pick up Laila, but Laila did not want to go home.

"Mak! Wiry up! This is a picture I made, good right? It's me playing kite with a mermaid." Laila showed her homemade picture to Mom.

"Wahh haha, good, good."

Mom wanted to laugh out loud looking at the picture Laila made. He drew a man with a face shaped like a heart, his eyes big next door but the picture of his mermaid looks good.

Using her old book that she still keeps, Laila continues to draw and show her talent to Mother. After a short day, Adwi and Anjani leave Laila. They do not linger because after becoming a village device, there are always people who come to his house to bring necessities.

***

The house is not so far away, still one city with Adwi city. Even the distance is quite close if taken from his home Mother.

"Wi, you just had one child?" Ask his mother Adwi who only saw the existence of Riki there. In the past, they had come to Adwi's wedding, but since then they have never visited again.

"No, there's another one that's female. This is my second child, his name is Riki. First it was Laila."

"Ohh.. Where's laila going? How not to look?"

"Again at my mother-in-law's house."

"Who? How many days? How come you guys never come to mom's house? Turn there you come often." Adwi's mother was unhappy.

"So it's not perfect Mom," Adwi tried to reason.

"Ah, you are a reason. I'm gonna go get Laila now, I want you to take her home." Adwi's mother felt disbelief. He felt exiled and wanted to take his granddaughter in the house of the besan.

"But I'm not sure if Laila will. Laila's never met Mom."

"Laila's definitely going to be with her grandmother."

Adwi's mother went and left some hands with her. He was upset, why was it only Anjani's parents' house they visited? His home is not far from there either.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

When her mother Adwi in front of the house, Mom, a few moments immediately opened the door.

"Wa'alaikumsallam. Uh, Besan's mom?" Mom was hesitant, she only met her mother Adwi once.

"Yes Mom. Laila is there? I'm here to pick up Laila."

"Oh, there's Mom. Yes, go in first."

"No, I'm here to take Laila."

"Mm. Yeah, it's been a while, ma'am."

I think Adwi's mother came because she was told by Adwi. In front of the door, they talked to each other. Mother calls Laila to come and tell her that it is her grandmother.

"It's Laila huh?" Adwi's mother saw Laila for the first time. Laila looks beautiful and very funny, but there is something less and she does not like.

"Ihh, are you skinny? Are you taken care of by not your parents? Come with grandma yuk, we go for a walk, Laila grandma jajanin."

The words of Adwi's mother suddenly made Mother feel surprised. From his behavior and style of speech, it seems he considers that Laila's parents are not good at taking care of their children.

Seeing the person claiming to be her grandmother, Laila just gawked and felt confused.

"Grandma's a mother?" Laila asked ignoring her grandmother's request earlier.

"Mmm. Yes, if you want to call mom can too. Dear, would you like to come with Mom?"

"Where?"

"To Mother's house, there is a nice doll. Later papa you will also come."

"I want a Barbie doll!"

"Yes, let's take it. Or we'll buy it now."

"Yes!"

With ease Laila can be captivated. At home there are no toys, including dolls. Meanwhile, Laila is very fond of dolls, especially Barbie dolls.
