Until home, Anita went straight into her room first to change clothes and wash her face. Then she went back out to prepare lunch for her delayed children.
"Will not eat? Mama prepare, she was told yes." Anita told Chila.
"Yes ma." replied Chila.
Then Anita went downstairs again to go to the kitchen to prepare food at the dining table.
"Mom, Yuni's mother was very worried that Anita's mother had not come home until afternoon" said bi Sofia, Anita's maid.
"Oh yes, I was wrong so long ago home" said Anita.
Anita quickly prepared the food. Mother Yuni approached Anita who was busy in the kitchen.
"Anita, where have you been for so long. I'm worried about you, bringing five kids and then not coming home until this afternoon" said Yuni's mother.
Ms. Yuni is indeed very sensitive if Anita looks sad but does not say anything to her. He knew his son was not well, even though he did not tell a story.
But still, he did not want to ask. He was sure Anita could deal with her own problems.
"I was out of money, ma'am, so I got off on a road that was deserted by the people. Uh it turns out to have to walk to get to the ATM" said Anita told me briefly.
Mother Yuni let out a long sigh, she felt sorry for her son. So hard to face the problems faced alone.
"The next time you ask your husband, don't take a taxi. If your husband can't drive, buy a car to drive and pick up the kids to school. Didn't your husband think to buy you a car." said Yuni's mother.
He was getting upset with his daughter-in-law. Why his son is troubled, he himself still feels sadness with the death of his mother. Anita looked at her mother, then stroked her back slowly.
"Mom, I don't have a problem with taking a taxi back and forth to pick up the kids. The important thing is that children get to school on time. Don't think about my situation, everything will be fine. Maybe Arga still does not accept the fact that mama is gone." said Anita reassured her mother.
"But it's been almost two months, when he's still grieving. At least he has to rise, it is not easy to forget the people we love leaving us. But she must pay attention to those who love her as well." Yuni's mother said with a sense of regret.
He was deceived by his son-in-law, who would be happy and would not hurt Anita. But in reality, he was cold after his mother died.
Back Anita stroked her mother's back, she knew her mother was angry with Arga. But he could not do much, Arga himself still did not want to be approached.
But tonight, she'll force her husband to talk and tell stories. Why did she turn out like that, Anita was only sure that Arga still loved her very much. It's just, I don't know what made him turn cold on her.

At night, actually Anita's legs were very tired because of the walk last day. But she deliberately waited for Arga to come home from the office to ask about her uncles for almost two months since her in-laws died.
Anita opened her phone, she just turned it on when in the carger earlier. She saw the short message only read by her husband.
Anita sighed softly, then put her cell phone again. She was preparing to take a shower after serving her five children.
Now at six in the afternoon, Arga usually comes home at seven in the evening. Means one more hour, she will talk when the time is right and again relaxed so as not to arise tension between herself and her husband.
And now at seven more than twenty minutes Arga's car just entered the courtyard of the house. The children ran to Arga and talked about it this afternoon.
"Pa, where was papa this afternoon?" celine asked Arga.
"Father, dear meeting, so you can't pick you up from school" replied Arga, continuing to step into her room.
"Pa, you know that this afternoon we were all." said Celine enthusiastically.
"Celine, papa come in first. The story will be later if you've taken a shower and changed clothes, okay?" said Arga.
"Papa." Kevin chimed in.
Anita who saw Arga move up quickly pulled Kevin and carried him.
"Papa want to take a shower first deck, later if papa is fresh adek can play with papa." said Anita to her youngest child.
The five children are now back in front of the family room, deliberately they learn together in the family room so that Anita can watch over them simultaneously.

After the children had gone to sleep, Anita went into her room. He saw Arga sitting relaxed while playing his cell phone. It's time for Anita to talk to her husband.
Anita approached Arga, she sat by the side of the bed staring at her husband and her right hand held her husband's leg.
"Ga, have you eaten?" ask Anita slowly.
"Already, it was in the office." answered Arga still focused on his phone.
"Ga, can we talk?" ask Anita directly.
Arga stopped playing cell phone, he looked at his wife who was so calm. She was calm like Anita. Maybe it's time to get his ass out on his wife.
Indeed, he was also tormented to silence Anita, but he felt disappointed in his wife.
"What do you want to say? I want to talk to you too." said Arga.
Anita let out a long sigh, she will listen to her husband's complaints.
"Okay, then who's gonna talk?" ask Anita.
"Please talk first."
Arga's too formal, he's talking like he's not to his wife. He thinks I'm his client, Anita thought.
"I want to ask, it's been a month or so why is your attitude such cold to me? Are you angry with me?" ask Anita.
"To be honest I was disappointed with you, you didn't seem to care about my sadness, you were like normal when mom died. You also pay more attention to the children and your mother than I am who is slumped because of the loss of the mother that I love the most. I'm disappointed you ignored me, not caring about my mother's death. Is there not in your heart the same affection of Mama, Anita?" arga asked quietly but stabbed into Anita's heart.
Anita was stunned, she seemed to be a convict of a lot of mistakes and sins.
"Ga, I'm not like what you said. You misunderstood my attitude, and I've been trying to ask you why you've been quiet and avoiding me. I tried to get close to you, but you seemed reluctant I approached Ga. You know, in my heart you're acting cold like it hurts so much. But I have to face my five children with a carefree heart and not fall. Mama's passing problem, you know mom is also very hard hit. Not just you, what else am I. I was devastated too, but went back to the kids. If I were to be struck down and dissolve in grief by the passing of my mother, dissolve in the wounds would lose my mother for days like you, who would encourage children other than me, he said, who will take care of them? Mother was also hit because she considered her mother like her own brother. Then, what else should I do? I let you dissolve in sadness for making room for you. I thought your sadness was only for a moment, but in fact you took longer and avoided me instead. I'm sad Ga, I'm afraid you're changing like mas Rendi, I'm afraid you're forgetting me and leaving me and the kids. You ignored all my calls. Until I finally resigned if you forget me, I have been used to being ignored since. I've always been friends with heartache. What I'm afraid of is that you forget about our children, they often ask me why his dad rarely plays with him. I still have to answer well about your busy life. Hik hik hik." now Anita cried revealing everything in her heart.
Arga was stunned, he was like he was struck by Anita's words. But his selfishness preferred to hang on with his mind.
"But you are as usual with the passing of your mother. I'm disappointed Anita, mama is the only one in my life" Arga said.
"Then, I what Ga? Am I not your wife? Which I should be leaning and moaning in times of sadness. Where is the warmth you showed me. You know, I was always there waiting for Angga to come home I took to mama's grave to pray for him and also moaned there, I don't know who to complain to. You stay away from me, and mom is as bad as you are at the death of mom. Whereas I have to be tough in front of the kids, it hurts Ga so much. Hik hik hik."
Shut up, Anita was silent too Arga. Anita got up from her seat, she stood still staring at Arga. And before he left he said again.
"You know Ga, I'm so hard at hurting anyone. I am strong without complaining and without mercy, because who? My kids. I have to be strong because my children need a strong mother in front of them. Not showing them the fragility of heart, avoiding all happiness with children. I'm going to sleep in Kevin's room, maybe you need to reflect on everything." said Anita Lirih.
He then stepped away leaving Arga who was still silent. Arga's heart ached, hearing Anita's words. It turned out that Anita was more fragile than herself, her heart was screaming and she suddenly burst into tears.
While Anita, has not left behind the door of her room. She cried, as often as she cried at night in the bathroom. But now she could not hold back her crying anymore.
Anita quickly walked towards Kevin and Angga's room. Entering and locking her up so that Arga does not pursue her, she wants her husband to reflect on all her words and realize it all.
