Substitute Mother

Chapters 9. The Into Your Arms

finished breakfast, we prepared to go to the house of the mother.Alisya looked happy because this was the first time he visited the house of father and mother.

"mother, later alisya can play with grandpa right".

"may dong dear, alisya can play as much there.

"wahhh.. really mom. thank you mom". alisya hugged me.

bram was busy putting things in the trunk of the car.

"it's over, let's go ".

"ayo papa". alisya follows the behavior of mas bram.

before I left, I said goodbye to aunt Nina.

"bi, I'm leaving first yes.if there's anything call me immediately".

"good non. non careful on the road ya".

I'm nodding my head

"yes bi".

brakk..

I closed the car door and sat next to the bram.

"okay, no one is missing, right?". asked mas bram.

"not everyone is in the trunk of the car".

"okay, alisya dear sitting sweet yes.we will soon leave for the house of grandma and grandpa". shouted mas bram.

"horrah...... ". alisya was very enthusiastic on this journey.

"gold, we'll stop at the supermarket later.I want to shop first".

"well my dear". mas bram stroked my head.

the journey to the mother's house takes approximately 4 hours.

along the way, mas bram and alisya look very happy.The two of them occasionally sing together while laughing loosely.

"alisya, don't sleepy baby.

"no mother".

I looked at Mas Bram.

"if tired, break mas. we find a minimarket near here".

"dear, I'm not tired" replied bram.

so far bram has never driven his own car when traveling far, everywhere bram always uses a driver.

but somehow, this time mas bram prefers to drive his own car. he said, want to spend time with family without anyone else.

"you're shopping, baby".

"so mas, but later on. in front there is a big supermarket.later we stop there only".

"okay mistress" .

"iihh what the hell is mas".

"you're the great lady of bramantyo". mas bram smiled.

"have you called my mom if we were going to visit?". asked mas bram.

"yet, I didn't intentionally tell Mom".

"why, baby".

"if I tell you, apert mom bothered mas. must be busy making food to welcome us.

"yes, baby, you're really, smart my wife". mas bram caressed my head.

"what the hell mas". My face flushed red and felt hot.

along the way, me and bram talk a lot about things of our past. mas bram has started to open up a lot with his life, and it makes me happy.

"loh, alisya is sleeping". I saw alisya sleeping in the back seat.

"let's just love, anyways still far away from the mother's house".

"iyaa mas".

"mas, we turn right, yes, there is a special supermarket for fruits and vegetables".

"do you want to go vegetable shopping?".

"yes mas, for the preparation we eat. let not ngerepotin mother".

"okay, I'll park the car first".

while Mas bram was parking the car, I saw that his alisya was still asleep, so I could not bear to wake him.

"mas do not come down.alisya still sleep, pity if awakened".

"yes, let me wait in the car".

"iyaa mas, I shop first yes.mas anyone want to be tipped?".

"hmm buy some fruit, baby".

"yes" I got out of the car and rushed into the supermarket.

when I entered the supermarket, I was greeted by a friendly employee.

"welcome mom, happy shopping.

I just smiled back at their words.

I carry a shopping cart while circling the contents of the supermarket.so many fruits and vegetables are still fresh. Obviously the area around here has a cold temperature that is suitable for growing crops.

"well, the apples are really fresh".

without a second thought I picked the apple I wanted to buy.

"mom's favorite vegetable, I'd love it if I brought this".

it did not feel like Sudan was 1 hour more I was in self-service, my hands were still busy choosing and picking vegetables.

"what else is.... ".

I could still think of buying more, even though the contents of my default basket were already quite full of vegetables and fruits.

ddrrt....

my phone felt like it was shaking in the bag.

"iyaa hello mas, what's wrong?".

"loh, what the hell is it baby. I've been waiting for you almost 2 hours in the car. arentar we kemaleman nyampek mother's house".

"jeez mas, yes I forgot. sorry mas, I do not remember if you are waiting in the car". due to being too cool shopping, I forgot about the bram mas.

"yes, let's go, baby".

"yes, wait a minute, I'll pay you".

I quickly headed to the cashier to pay for all my groceries.

"how much is everything?".

"everything, 1 million ma'am.

"jeez, I've spent a lot of money".

"thank you mbak".

both of my hands are full of groceries, there are about 3 plastic grocery bags.

with staggered steps I carried all my groceries and slightly ran to the parking lot.

seeing that I was having trouble carrying groceries, Mas bram got out of his car to help me.

"geez, baby, so much".

"sorry, I've been waiting a long time.

"let me put it in the trunk, you just get in the car".

"thank you, man".

brakk...

the sound of a bram closing the trunk of the car.

"it's all done, let's go again".

bram starts the engine and drives it slowly.

"alisya has not woken up mas".

"yet". answered mas bram.

I was silent for a moment to hear the answer to mas bram which was too short.

"mas, angry with me?".

"angry?  why angry, baby".

"because I was late shopping and waiting for me for hours, so I answered my question briefly".

bram laughed at my words

"hahahahaha my dear, you are-there aja deh. where maybe I am angry darling, naturally dong husband wait for his wife shopping, count me again guts test".

"iihh mas what the hell".

we drove 4 hours and we finally got to Mom's house.

it's been 2 years I did not go home mom, everything looks the same. Even the home page of mom still there is a swing where I played as a child.

"it's your idea to make a surprise for mom". mas bram opened the trunk and dropped off all the belongings.

while I moved to the back seat to wake up his sleeping alisya.

"honey, we've arrived.let's get up". I rubbed his cheeks.

"not yet awake". said mas bram.

"not yet, it looks like he's drowsy".

"yes, let me carry alisya later".

while from a distance there was the sound of screaming mother who was so loud to see our arrival.

"jeez, why don't you tell me that you're coming". Mom ran a little from inside the house.

"mom, how are you". I hugged my mother immediately.

"good news dear, I miss you guys so much".

mas Bram who saw the mother also approached and greeted.

"how are you doing". said mas bram while kissing the mother's hand.

"good news, son, you're tired of driving for hours". mother rubbed the shoulders of mas bram.

"ahh no buk, it's usual for me to travel far". replied mas bram.

"let's go in, but I don't have anything, because I don't know if you're coming".

"it's okay, ma'am, we also brought a lot of food".

"by the way alisya not coming?". said mother.

"alisya sleeps mom in the back seat".

I immediately walked to look in the car.

"jeez baby, he must be tired from the long journey".

"yes ma'am, all the way she's asleep".

"yes, let's go inside.the love of alisya sleeping in the car seat".

so much of our luggage when we went home to mother, to have to go back and forth to transport it.

"this is what the hell you guys brought". I checked one by one .

"it's all the vegetables and fruits ma'am. I just stopped by the supermarket where we used to shop".

"jeez karin, it's a lot 1 hour from here". mother is still amazed to see the plastic groceries.

"that was through the ma'am".

"ohh yes yes hehehe.lagian, it's like I don't love to eat until I have to bring my own groceries".

"iihh mother getting more and more ugly ya". I pinched mother's cheek.

"dad where is ma'am ? why don't I see Dad".

"dad is still working, soon also home.later surely he was happy to see you guys come.every day cool askin alisya keep when to come here". mother while arranging vegetables in the basket.

again cool talking with mom, suddenly mas bram shouted calling me.

"honey, where is this suitcase?".

I immediately ran to Mas bram.

"what the hell is mas".

"this is the suitcase, baby".

I showed it upstairs

"just in the upper room, that's my room aka our room".

"heheheheh okay dear". mas bram immediately boarded with suitcases.

"alisya where is mas?".

"it was in the lower room". mas bram showed by poking his lips.

then mom came to me

"so mom told me to put it in mom's room.you just take a break, must be capekkan".

"no ma'am, let me help you clean up first".

mom and I went back to the kitchen to clean up and make dinner.

"we cook capcai and chicken stew yes.

"yes ma'am, I haven't eaten mother-made stews in a long time.

"how is your mother-in-law" asked the mother.

"ohh mama mas bram has moved to Singapore ma'am".

"why move out".

"papa mas bram chose to run the business there ma'am, so the one here was handed over all by mas bram".

"even if your in-laws are dad's, but you're not so close to them. I just know that your dad is a good guy, but I don't know if your mother-in-law is".

"mama mas bram is a good person, before they move, mama mas bram often comes to visit.

"i can't tell mom that I'm not really that close to my mother-in-law".

"karin, why are you daydreaming".

"ahh no ma'am. It's cut up the veggie bu". I diverted my mother's speech.

"karin, bring this warm tea to bram first, pity he's tired.

"yes ma'am, just a minute ma'am". I went to the room to meet mas bram.

I'm happy, for so long I can finally go home. If only my relationship and bram is not good, maybe I will never be able to go home.

tock. took...

"mas, you're inside".

ckrekk. mas bram opened the door.

"why dear, kangen ya".

"beginning, here I bring you tea for the mas".

"so careful of my wife". mas bram sipped the tea I brought.

I walked around my room, every corner nothing changed. It turned out that my mother did not change anything in my room.

"you say what, baby". mas bram hugged me from behind.

"look at our wedding photos, you don't have the slightest smile".

"sorry baby, at that time I could not think well. but baby, your room is good as well. The view from the balcony was beautiful".

"you just know that my room is very comfortable.oohh yes, when we marry you do not want to sleep here directly go home". I slightly satirize the situation when we first married.

"had dong dear, don't discuss the past, I'm sorry.

bram pulled my hand"this is it, baby".

"where are you going".

"Be lovely".

mas Bram showed me the beautiful sunset from my balcony.

I smiled looking at the orange light from the sunset, everything looked Beautiful and warm.

as well as many trees that spread green around it, making the atmosphere more beautiful.

"the atmosphere here is very fitting to make the prospective sister alisya". goda mas bram.

"ihh mas bram, his mind is out of nowhere.

"yes, baby, to enjoy our holiday here".

"ahh know ah, I'm not horrified.

"where you go, baby, come on". mas bram tugged at my hand.

"hh mas smell dry, hunt shower there". I pushed mas bram body to stay away from me.

hearing my words, Mas bram sniffed his body, making sure he didn't stink of sweat.

"hm hm hm hm not really, I scented. try deh.. ".

"iihhh no mas, yes the time his wife was told to kiss sweat.

I don't feel like I'm joking around so much with the bram mas that I forget about my mom cooking herself in the kitchen.

tokk...

"karin, bram let's go down, let's have dinner".

the voice of mother calling.

"yes ma'am, in a moment.

"beleasein mas, mother has called us that". mas bram did not want to release his wound.

"5 minutes to go, baby".

"behind the cold and indifferent nature of mas bram, it turns out spoiled mas also yes.

"same man his own wife is okay.

the more I know bram, the more there are sides to him that I don't know.

all this time I thought that mas bram was a cold-hearted and ignorant person but on the other hand, he had a spoiled and humorous nature.
