Substitute Mother

Chapters 5. Vacations

"good morning dear.

"mother". replied alisya while rubbing her eyes.

"you've woken up. You're hungry, baby".

"no mother". alisya shook her head.

"how dear, is still her stomach ache". I held her alisya stomach.

"no mother, Alisya has healed.

"mom make milk and bread yes, you should have breakfast".I prepare breakfast for alisya.

"mother, where's papa?". asked Alisya who did not see her father sleeping on the sofa.

"sstttt. Papa again sleeps dear, it's on the sofa". I pointed towards mas bram.

this morning, my heart feels different.there is a sense of happiness that I can not express.where when I wake up I see mas bram and alisya near me.

"my dear, we wash our faces and brush our teeth.

"mother, alisya likes your eyes, beautiful". Alisya holds my face with both hands.

"the mother also likes her eyebrows, beautiful and shining".I hug her eyebrows.

alisya chose to brush her own teeth, I just looked at her and looked at her through the glass.

"mom, we're going home today".

"yes, baby, we'll be home, but we have to wait for the doctor to come first".

I cleaned her face with a towel that I had soaked with water.His little face looks like an angel so beautiful.

"alisya eat bread and drink milk yes. This is already the mother prepared".

while alisya had breakfast, I went to wake up the bram mas which still looks to sleep soundly.

"mas bram kok is not awake. did mas bram not go to work". I walked towards mas bram.

"mas bram. let's get up, it's morning.

"iyaa.". replied mas bram while covering his body.

"mas,ayo woke up. Alisya had already woken up, was having breakfast".

suddenly mas bram turned his body, his face was right facing my face and a little more our nose would stick.

deg, the feeling came up again when I looked at the bram mas.again my heart beat very fast.

"ahh...aa.mas bram,ayo buruan get up". I quickly got up and went towards alisya.

"how dear, his alisya loves his bread". I diverted my awkwardness.

"in the morning, aaahhh..". mas bram stretched out his hand.

"papa, papa". call alisya.

"good morning dear papa". mas bram waved his hand towards alisya.

"want breakfast mas, let me prepare bread.

"no need, soon I will go to the office so breakfast there anyway". said mas bram while tidying up his shirt.

"where are you going?". asked alisya.

bram walked slowly towards alisya.

"daddy's going to the office, baby".

"the mother also left". alisya looked at me.

"no dear, mother will still accompany her alisya.

"father soon dear, later papa come again to pick up alisya and mother.

"faith promise".

"promise dear". mas bram hugged his brow and kissed his forehead.

"i go first yeah". mas bram say goodbye to me.

when mas bram was about to come out, suddenly mas bram walked back to me again.

"campaign... ". mas bram kissed my forehead.

I was fixated and my body seemed immovable, this was the first time Bram kissed me.

"is this just a dream, why is my face hot".

I kept holding my face, it felt like a dream. Mas bram kiss still felt warm on my forehead.

"mother why?". alisya stared at my strange behavior.

"ahh. it's okay baby. Alisya want to go for a walk".

"iyaa mother". with her spirit alisya replied.

ttookk...

there was a knocking on the door.

"who is I?". I replied.

"karin". said the mother who came to visit alisya.

"mom".I was surprised to see mom and dad coming to visit her brow.

"alisya granddaughter of grandmother, how are you dear". mother hugged alisya.

"good grandma". replied alisya innocently.

"look, grandpa brought cake and toys for alisya". Dad gave the package he brought.

"wahhh.. alisya like. thank you grandpa". looks like a face like alisya get a gift.

"mother, why don't you tell me about Karin first".

"if you give news, you will not let you come see alisya.

"it's okay karin, after all, I haven't seen you for a long time.

"thank you dad for coming to see alisya".

"yes dear". replied the father with his distinctive smile.

"o yeah, I don't see bram, where is he? ". ask mom.

"oh mas bram just left mom".

"keep your mama and your papa-in-law, is there any coming?". asked my mother again who was a little kepo.

"my mom, last night my mom and dad came over because they had to work so they couldn't stay over".

I'm happy to see mom and dad coming, they're also very attentive with alisya already assume like their own grandchildren.

"what would mom drink? let karin buy it".

"anything is karin". replied the father.

"alright, let's go out and get a drink".

"wait, mommy's coming". said the mother who quickly chased after me.

"dad, please take care of alisya for a moment huh".

"well baby, go". replied Dad.

my mother and I walked to the supermarket next to the hospital.

along the way the mother held my hand very tightly, like she was afraid that her child would disappear.

"mom why is my arm so tight?". I asked.

"ahh this, I just miss you karin". replied the mother with a smile.

"we call mom a lot".

"remain a mother misses because she did not meet directly".

"mom can do it".I answered

"karin, how's bram?  did he treat you well".

"mother, why ask that?". I frowned.

"every time you call if you ask me about your life, you're always avoiding".

"not so mom, everything's fine. mas bram is so good to me". I smiled at mom.

"hmm your smile is not a lie, is it.

"iihh mom, really mom. I'm happy with this marriage.

I don't know why you're suspicious of me, maybe that's what you call a feeling a mother will never lie.

"my mom's sitting here, let me have a drink".

"but you said you want to shop at the supermarket.why go to caffe?". asked the astonished mother.

"yes ma'am, after buying drinks we're going to the supermarket".

I left mom sitting in the visitor's chair, and I went to order a drink.

"hmmm what a drink for dad and mom". I looked through the menu at the caffe.

"what do you want to order, brother?". asked a caffe officer.

"i order, americano 1, latte coffee cream 1, hot chocolate 1, vanilla sugar brown 1 yes and green tea bread 1 box".

"well, brother, just wait a minute".

"okay.

when I finished ordering a drink, I walked to see my mother, and I saw her sitting with a smile on my face.

"mom why smile so see me".I also smile.

"nothing karin, mother just did not expect it. the mother's child has grown up, has become a wife of people and has become a mother". replied the mother with slightly teary eyes.

"ihh uda deh mother, do not discuss that there is an apert mother even cry".

" why the hell, you can't talk about your own mother's child".

"yes, mom, I can".

that's my mother, her lashing habit never goes away, but that's what makes me miss my mother every day.

after buying drinks at the cafe, we went to the supermarket to buy alisya snacks.

"let the mother choose a snack for alisya.

"let me just ma'am". I followed mom around the snack rack.

"already, you just shut up. Let mom buy it". Mom told me to shut up.

with a swift mother chose snanck and candy for alisya, the mother looks excited.although not the mother's own grandchild, but the mother looks very affectionate with alisya.

"already ma'am, not much. at home alisya snack is still a lot". I stopped the mother who seemed to buy the entire supermarket.

when we finished buying alisya drinks and snacks, we returned to the treatment room alisya. along the way we told him about my childhood until we laughed.

"so karin, what about your work". asked mom.

"i also don't know mom, I still want to work but I don't want to leave alisya".

"you just talk to bram, you discuss how good it is. if you ask mom, yes I support what is best, but now it is not the mother where you discuss there is already a bram". answer me gently.

"yes ma'am, I also think like that ma'am. After alisya is healthy, I will talk to mas bram". 

"karin, after the household.you will understand what real life is like.we can not share our household stories with just anyone. sometimes we do not know, we do not know, the person we are telling is right in our favor or not. I hope, karin is getting wiser in overcoming anything in the household.

"yes mother, I will remember every advice you give, thank you mother.

we arrived at alisya's treatment room, alisya looking happy playing with dad.

"honey alisya, grandma brought a lot of snacks for alisya". mom showed me the plastic bag she was carrying.

"wahhh.. thank you grandma". replied alisya happily.

"same-sama dear, get well quickly yes". mother kissed her eyebrows.

"well, it's dad's coffee". I gave dad his favorite coffee latte.

"thank you Father's daughter". father accepted it with pleasure.

"mother, alisya want". said alisya

"dear Iyaa, mother also buy alisya hot chocolate. taraaaa... here it is".

"thank you mother, alisya likes it".

"sama-mother's son". I rubbed her alisya head.

"and this is for mom, vanilla sugar hot". I gave her drink to mom.

"thank you". answered my mother.

we enjoyed drinks together in the morning, I saw a happy aura on the faces of mom and dad.I was also proud that they could accept alisya like their own grandchildren.

"mother, let's go home". suddenly alisya invites to go home.

"patience baby, we wait for the doctor first yes.

"what's alisya bored of?  want to play with Grandpa again? ". said dad.

"iyaaa will". alisya answered quickly.

mom and I moved to the couch to make room for her and dad to play together.

"look at your father, he's very happy to play with the kids.

"yes ma'am, alisya can see from the expression of the face of the father, if the father really likes small children.

"hhhh you're not very sensitive anyway.it's a sign of his father and mother want another grandson.

"a. a.. what?  granddaughter said mother".I replied in shock.

"how can I give them grandchildren, even to this day we haven't slept a single bed".

"hey.. why are you dumbassing". Mom surprised me.

"eng. gak ma'am .hehehe all will need the process of ma'am. anyways I belom there is 1 month of marriage with mas bram".

"then from that karin, you have to be more active in order to quickly process.

"iihh mother what the hell".I replied shyly.

tookk...

"excuse me, I want to check on Alisya's sister.

"ohh yes doc, please come in.

the doctor walked closer to alisya, alisya looked scared when the doctor wanted to examine her.

"mother". alisya held my hand.

"it's okay baby, the doctor just checked it. Don't be afraid yes, there is a mother here.

"it's okay, baby, the doctor just wants to check using this tool, it's okay". the doctor shows his stethoscope tool.

alisya nodded her head and the doctor immediately examined her.

"the pinter boy". said the doctor

"how doc, my son's condition.

"thankfully, his alisya state has improved, he does not feel stomach pain anymore, but must be remembered so that his food remains in care.

"well Doc. can you come home doc?".

"of course, mother, alisya has been allowed to go home". replied the doctor with a friendly smile.

"well doc, thank you.

after the doctor finished checking, I felt relieved that there was nothing serious about his alisya state.

"honey, now we can go home, but we wait for papa to come yes.

"let's go home now mama.

"already karin, you just call bram. kasian alisya, maybe he is bored here.

"well, madam alisya dear, mother call papa first yes". Alisya just nodded her head.

"so the doctor has examined alisya, said the doctor alisya is fine and can already go home. But alisya wants to go home now mas".

"all right, wait a minute I'll be there soon".

I immediately turned off the phone and immediately told alisya.

"yes, grandma and grandpa are coming".

"no dear, grandma and grandpa can not follow alisya, because grandfather has to work, but grandma promises, tomorrow-tomorrow grandma and grandpa will visit". the mother held her alisya hand and hooked their little finger.
