Substitute Mother

Chapters 2. Three Companions

I arrived at the mas bram house in the middle of the night, the house looks big and luxurious.This big house is only inhabited by mas bram and alisya.

"ayo's in".

"ahh yaa mas". I followed mas bram's steps from behind.

"his room is above and next to that of alisya's room". mas bram shows upstairs.

"yes mas".

"you rest first, I want to go to the workspace first".

"how come our first night, mas bram chose to go to his study, but that's it".

I just nodded my head and walked to the top floor.I brought a large suitcase filled with my needs during my stay with mas bram.

"it's really heavy, if you know the room upstairs I won't bring much stuff like this.

"good night non".a middle-aged woman greeted me.

"night".I smiled back at her greeting.

"i'm aunt nina who helped Mr. Bram.

"ahh yes bi, I'm karin".

"let me help the non".

"ohh no need to bi, let me.. ". i wasn't done talking, my suitcase fell off and rolled off the stairs.

"aghhhh". I spontaneously shouted.

"oh, just came why did I make a fuss anyway".

mas Bram who heard my screams came straight out of his study.

"sorry mas, I didn't intentionally. sorry to make a fuss". I apologized for feeling guilty.

"it's okay non". aunt nina helped pick up my fallen suitcase

"just stay, later let me bring it up". said mas bram.

"don't do it, I'll just bring it myself. 'cause I want to change clothes.

because he saw me in the susahan, mas bram immediately brought my suitcase to the upper room.

"thank you, man".

"just take a break, don't wait for me". mas bram went straight downstairs.

"do you not want to accompany me mas. hmmm yes, that's it".

I looked around the contents of the room mas bram displayed photos of mas bram and his wife first. They look harmonious, his mother alisya look very beautiful, can not even be compared with me who is nothing.

"wives mas bram very beautiful ". I circled the room while looking at their photos.

if I thought about it, there was not even a place to display our wedding photos.and I saw an inscription among their photos.

"i will continue to love you gracia, no one can replace you in my heart".

my tears immediately dripped when reading the message, so deep was the feeling of love mas bram towards his wife first.It deserves mas bram to think of me only as a surrogate mother.

"just let's not cry anymore".I wiped my tears.

I opened the closet to put my clothes on but I also didn't see any empty space for my clothes.

"who am I?". I keep asking myself.

mas bram did not give me empty space in this house, what else in his heart, and again I felt foreign.

wherever I want, I've agreed to this marriage, so I have to be prepared for the risks involved.

"yes it is". again and again the word that comes out of my mouth.

after I changed clothes, I put my suitcase in the corner of the room room and I tidied up the mas bram bed to be comfortable while the mas bram slept.

"this bed, do I deserve to be in".

before I went to bed, I decided to look at her alisya in her room.I opened the door of her brow slowly and saw the little girl sleeping on her bed.

"beautiful boy, sleep well and recover quickly".he still feels warm body temperature and heavy breathing.

I covered her tiny body so as not to get cold. In the room alisya also full of photos of her mother, maybe mas bram does not want alisya forget who her birth mother is.

"mmuuachhh good night beautiful.

when I wanted to get out of her room, I heard her voice calling for her mother.

"mom.mom..don't go". alisya delirious while sleeping.

"honey, why are you?". I stroked her head to make her feel comfortable.

"mother... ". he constantly calls his mother.

"Alisya dear, calm down yes. there is a mother here". I clasped her hand tightly.

I tried to calm her down so that she could go back to sleep after I hummed, her alisya was already seen sleeping soundly again.

"good night alisya".

when I wanted to get up, alisya continued to hold my hand firmly.she placed my hand under her cheek.

"do you want your mother to sleep".

I took a chair and sat down next to his alisya to accompany him to sleep.

about 2 hours I accompanied alisya, I returned to the room and saw the room was still empty no mas bram.

"it's 2 in the morning, why hasn't Bram returned to the room".

I paced back and forth in the room, not knowing what else I should do. It was 3:45 but mas bram had not come yet.

I sat on the sofa reading a book, and soon bram came into the room.

"why haven't you slept". said mas bram who saw me sitting.

"well, I'm reading a book". I'm looking for reasons not to see that I'm waiting for him.

bram entered the bathroom, the sound of water gurgling.

"mas bram shower at dawn gini. what do not-don't ..ahhh no, not possible".

it crossed my mind that no-no when knowing the bath bram mas.

after the bram finished bathing, he did not see or even take me to sleep. he immediately went up to the bed and closed his eyes.

my eyes glazed over the treatment of mas bram on our first night, where the night awaited as a newlywed couple.

after seeing Mas bram fall asleep, I prefer to sleep on the sofa, but still, my eyes can not be closed.

"what do I have to do, so I can sleep".

I kept flipping through my sleeping position but there was nothing that could make me comfortable.

until early in the morning, I could not sleep. My eyes continued to wake up no drowsiness at all.

at exactly 5am, I went downstairs to help aunt Nina prepare breakfast.

"good morning bi". I said to aunt nina.

"morning is also non, kok is awake non".

"i can't sleep bi, because it's still a new atmosphere" I replied

"yes non it's normal. non rest, let auntie cook".

"it's okay bi. o yes bi, usually mas bram like breakfast what bi? ".

"master usually only eat bread and milk only non. if non alisya eat cereal and milk chocolate".

"ohh yaa bi, well. I will make breakfast for bram and alisya mas". with passion I make bread and milk.

"no breakfast what?  ".

"ahh I don't have to make it, I'll do it myself".

"non, if you are cold, you understand, since non gracia died, you are more silent".

"ahh deservedly, mas bram was a little indifferent to me. apparently he was still hit because of the departure of his wife".

"ahh yaa bi". I smiled at bi nina.

"ohh ya bi, did alisya ever ask about her mother".

"often non, what else if non alisya sick. he continues to call his mother, but the master always says to non alisya, non alisya, if his mother again to heaven can not go home and non alisya immediately speechless".

"it's okay if I ask a lot of questions".

"it's okay non, just ask if non don't understand the problem in this house".

I was a little helped by aunt Nina in this house, at least someone taught me if I didn't know.

I finished making bread and milk for breakfast bram, I've arranged it on the dinner table.

"where are the aunts going?".

"wake up non alisya, non".

I walked up the stairs closer towards aunt nina.

"let me just bi".

"good non".

aunt Nina returned to the kitchen, before I woke her alisya, I intended to wake up mas bram. sure enough, mas bram was still fast asleep in bed.

"mas bram, let's wake up breakfast". I woke up slowly afraid of the surprised bram.

many times I woke up mas bram, mas bram just shook his body.

"mas, let's get up".

finally I gave up, maybe bram did not want to be awakened by me.

"let's go, I'll just go to alisya's room".

suddenly I was surprised because my hand was pulled by mas bram, spontaneously I fell on the body of mas bram and it made me feel stubborn.

"mas... ". i called his name slowly.

mas bram's hand tightly gripped my hand so that I was hard to move.

"don't go. Don't leave me". said mas bram with his eyes closed.

"what's wrong with bram".

"gracia, I miss you".

my heart felt weak, my heart was like something was piercing hearing the words mas bram.

I tried to pull my body but I could not resist the power of mas bram.mas bram increasingly pressing my body on top of his body until my lips landed right on his lips.

"god... ".

my heart was beating so hard, my face was hot and red.

I quickly got up and ran away leaving the bram mas in the room.

I went inside her brow room and held onto my stiff chest.

"what am I doing, why are my lips... ". i held my lips that kissed mas bram.

"karin. karin. forget it. forget it. It was just an accident". I slapped my cheek to wake up.

I saw his alisya who was staring at me with a surprised face.

"a. alisya, I'm awake, baby.

"want breakfast".

alisya simply replied by nodding her head.

"we wash our faces first and brush our teeth". Alisya agreed to my invitation.

I helped her brush her teeth and wash her face. her eyebrows were still astonished at me, it was clear that we had only met once during my engagement with mas bram.

"alisya call mother aja yes.from now on the mother who guards alisya and papa".I looked at her bisisa face with a smile.

"iya mama". alisya immediately called me by the name of mother.

somehow my heart was happy to hear alisya calling me mother, until I could not stop smiling happily.

"let's go down to breakfast together". I held alisya's hand.

"papa". Alisya called her papa.

"dear baby, papa will also come down".

alisya is a good boy, everything I say she always obeys.

"alisya sit here. Mother get her breakfast".

I sat down next to her eyebrows and fed her breakfast in the morning. Alisya ate voraciously and I saw a smile on her brow face.

"it's good to love the breakfast".

"good mother". replied alisya gently.

even I was so happy to see Alisya smiling and enjoying my homemade breakfast.

"morning alisya dear". mas bram down come breakfast together.

"papa". alisya looks happier.

"you want breakfast".

"yes".as usual bram always answered briefly.

"alisya dear, today we go for a walk yes". take mas bram

"iya pa. hore.". cried happy alisya.

"this is the bread and milk".I serve breakfast in front of the bram mas.

"thank you". said mas bram.

after serving the bram mas, I sat back next to his brow and fed him back.

"you don't have breakfast".

"yeah yes, I will".

while feeding his eyebrows, suddenly my head feels dizzy and hoyong, the view immediately blurred.

"mother.mom".alisya saw me unstable and almost fell.

"ahh yes baby, mother is fine". instantly I realized myself.

"why is my head dizzy, is it because I haven't slept all night".

"non karin rest, let aunt who works. non not sleep all night".

"no bi, I'm fine".again I rely on my smile.

"why didn't you sleep last night" said mas bram

"probably because of the new atmosphere, I'm not used to it".

"rest away".

"no mas, it's okay. I want to accompany alisya breakfast". I insist that I'm fine.

after finishing breakfast I invited alisya to sit in the family room to watch his favorite cartoon show.

while bram, choose to sit on the porch next to the house while reading the newspaper.

"mother, look at that. funny right". alisya showed me her favorite cartoon.

"yes dear". I laughed so that alisya happy.

I was happy to see his eyebrows accept me as his mother, there was no rejection from his alisya. Previously, I was afraid alisya could not accept me, but it was all just my concern.

"alisya dear, mother take the cake first yes in the kitchen".

"iya mother. alisya wants a drink".

"well baby, you'll get me a drink too".

I went to the kitchen to sit alone in the living room.

"bi where snacks make alisya". I still do not know the layout of the mas bram house.

"this is non, again aunty make it". replied bi nina.

"usually after breakfast, mas bram like to drink tea or coffee? ".

"yes non, you like to drink tea without sugar. master does not like coffee".

"iya bi. thanks for telling me".

"yes, not equally".

I brought snacks for alisya and warm tea for mas bram.

"the tea mas".

"thank you".

after giving tea, I immediately went to ninggali mas bram.

"wait for karin". mas bram called me.

"yes, what do you need? ".

"no, are you okay.you look tired, rest.let auntie take care of everything".

"i'm fine, it's okay, it's my job as a wife and mother".

on the first day I lived with a little heavy bram mas but I kept trying to be the best for mas bram and alisya.
