Substitute Mother

Chapters 7. Aera's missing!

after that incident, I felt a little guilty towards mas bram for not being able to keep his alisya well and causing a commotion.

but thankfully, bram was not angry with me or his alisya.

"mother". alisya pulled my hand.

"why dear?  alisya tired?  want a sling".

"no mother". alisya shook her head.

"what do you want?". asked mas bram.

"alisya laper pa".alisya's face looks lethargic.

"jeez baby, forgive mother yes.mother forgetfulness if we have not had dinner.

"what do you want to eat?". said mas bram.

"chicken". replied alisya.

"okay, we eat at the restaurant down there yeah". mas bram took my hand and we went to the restaurant.

our ngedate show was a little messy but it did not change the mood of mas bram at that time.

"alisya is sitting here huh". I put alisya sitting next to me.

"snatch. mbak... ". mas bram called the waitress of the restaurant.

"this is the menu, please choose". said the waitress.

"what did you order?". mas bram handed me a menu list.

there were so many food menus in the restaurant, I repeatedly flipped the menu list.

"i'm confused.

"here, what is the most special menu". asked mas bram at the waiter.

"our special menu here is Steak Honey Black Paper pack, it's our restaurant's flagship menu.

"alright, I ordered it two yes and chiken butter cream her one".

"well sir".the waitress immediately recorded what mas bram ordered.

"gold, that food must be expensive.

"it's okay karin". replied mas bram with a smile.

mas Bram is indeed a good man, it's just his cold attitude that makes him feel indifferent.

when we ate together, alisya seemed to enjoy the food as well as mas bram.

"alisya is full?  where are we going".

"buy a mother's toy".

"ohh yaa. let's buy a toy". I held alisya's hand.

"mas.... ". i saw that Bram was busy taking phone calls.

"my dear, wait for papa to call again".

"iya mother".

while waiting for bram to finish calling, alisya and I played to see the display in the restaurant.

"it's done mas. mas, alisya wants.... ".

"we go home, yes, there's someone at home waiting for me.

"well mas".

I quickly carried his alisya and followed the steps of the mas bram behind.

"mother, let's buy a toy.

"sadly, forgive mother yes. tonight we cancel the toy, because papa has business.but mother promised, tomorrow mother bought a lot of toys for alisya". I tried to negotiate with her.

"delay the appointment". said alisya with a disappointed face.

"dear Iyaa, promise mother".we link each other's little fingers.

along the way to the house, Mas bram looks panicked and always checks the mobile phone in his hand.

"mas, don't look at the HP continue, the danger of mas.

mas Bram ignored my words, he still kept seeing his handphone repeatedly.

"actually what happened!!?  why does Bram look so panicked".

until arriving home, mas bram immediately rushed into the house.

"it's a shame we're in". I said to alisya.

mas bram left us behind without saying anything.I was getting curious as to who that very important guest was.

"bi nina, please....... ". instantly my words stopped when I saw mas bram hugging another woman in the living room.

"iyaa non". bi nina approached me.

"that's who bi?". My voice is somewhat weakened.

"oh that. anu non, that's non Cindy his little friend Mr. bram". bi nina is a little nervous.

"oh...  ". i can't say anything more.

my heart felt jealous when I saw Mas Bram hugging another girl, even her friend.

"mother". alisya pulled my hand.

"hhhhhh, baby, let's go to the room".

I walked into the room with alisya, I ignored Mas bram and his friend (but my heart was jealous). 

"alisya sleep yes dear, mother accompany". I tidied the blanket on the body alisya.

still in my eyes, when mas bram hugged his friend, they hugged like they used to do it.

suddenly I gasped, obviously I fell asleep in his brow room while accompanying him to sleep.

"have this brapa clock?". I saw the clock on my phone.

"it's 2 in the morning". I got up and went to my room.

I deliberately slowly opened the door so as not to wake the sleeping bram mas.

but when the door opened, I saw no mas bram in the bed.

"maybe mas bram again in the study".

I walked down to the kitchen to get some drinking water, but I saw the door of the mas bram workspace open so I slowly looked at it.

"gold you....... ".

prakk.....

the sound of a glass falling out of my hand, obviously so surprised when I saw mas bram kissing his friend Cindy.

I don't think that Cindy will stay at home, mas bram nobody says anything to me.

"carin.. ". said Mas bram when he saw me.

I couldn't say anything, my tears falling down my cheeks.My heart ached, my whole body felt unbearable limp.

"aghh.". My feet were stepped on by broken glass.

I quickly turned my body around and ran upstairs.

"what is all this mas?  why.. why do you have to kiss another woman.... ". i screamed in my heart.

up in the room I dropped my body on the floor, even my legs could not be moved anymore all felt weak.

I wanted to stop crying but couldn't, my tears kept flowing.

"carin.... ".

I heard the voice of Mas Bram calling out my name.

"karin, listen to me". mas bram knocked on the door.

"karin, I'll explain.it's not all what you see".

"karin, let's open the door. Listen to me karin".

mas bram kept calling me but my mouth was hard to answer. All the time we were married, mas bram never touched me but now I see him kissing other women with ease.

"karin. please open the door".

"karin. listen to me, I can explain". mas bram grasped my hand.

"what's more, if I don't come down and see maybe I don't know what else you're gonna do behind my back".

"not so karin... ".

"whatever mas, you want to say that I misunderstood.you want to say that Cindy is just your friend, your friend, yes.there is no such kiss temen mas, mas, nothing". I said in a tight cry.

"karin, I also didn't know that he had suddenly entered my study".

"i also don't know mas, if he's staying here.from us to go home for a walk, you don't even explain to me who Cindy is, until I have to ask bi nina".

"karin, I'm sorry.... ".

"you know the pain of my heart, I was married for a long time, you never touched me, even slept we were apart. But now, I see my husband kissing another woman. I know you haven't been able to accept me completely, but why? you tega.... ". my chest is getting claustrophobic and I can't breathe anymore.

"carin. karin.... ". i heard the voice of mas bram keep calling me but for a long time the voice disappeared.

a few moments later I woke up, I saw a white ceiling like it wasn't in my room and I also saw a drip hanging.

"me where?".

as soon as I looked to the side, it turned out that there was a mas bram sleeping beside me.

"why am I here?" i'm astonished.

"ahh karin you're awake". mas bram rubbed his eyes.

"why am I here?". I asked.

"you passed out last night and I took you to the hospital, because I was so panicked to see you unconscious.

"the alisya? alisya where is mas?".

"you're calm, alisya is guarded by aunt nina".

"i want to go home, pity his alisya at home".

"iyaa. we will go home but wait for you to be healthy first yes". mas bram grasped my hand.

"karin.I want to explain last night".

my eyes glare at Mas bram

"i don't want to hear you".

"karin, please give me a chance to explain everything".

"no, mas.... ". i covered both my ears.

mas bram pulled my hand and placed it on his chest.

"karin, please trust me. Cindy and I are just friends, I know she likes me but I never thought that she would be so desperate to do that. and I'm sorry I didn't tell you Cindy was staying over".

"during this time, I never asked my opinion about anything, because it was all not important for mas right. for mas, I was just a surrogate mother for alisya and nothing more".

"no karin, not so. You mean a lot to me just like alisya. forgive me if all this time I did not show my love to you. I honestly love you very much karin". said Mas bram with the earnestness of his heart.

I was silent to hear the words of mas bram, his words made my heart melt and happy.This is the first time mas bram revealed his heart to me.

"karin, please forgive me and trust me". mas bram continued to hold my hand and put his head on my hand.

I closed my eyes and as I shed my tears, my heart could not bear to see mas bram who kept apologizing to me.

"well, this time I believe in mas. please take care of my heart and feelings mas.

bram hugged me

"thank you karin, thank you".

"i'm trying to keep this household afloat from anything, maybe it wouldn't hurt if I trusted it one more time".

"you rest yes, if you are well, tomorrow we will go home.

"i miss alisya mas".

"alright, I'll tell aunt nina to bring her here". mas bram smiled and stroked my head.

"thank you.

after we made up, I saw mas bram falling asleep on the sofa, how tired he had been all night with me.

"i love you so much mas, I hope we will continue together in the future".

not long after, I saw a female figure enter my room with a bunch of flowers.

"good afternoon". said Cindy who came to see me.

"when you come here".I said a little sewot to him.

"i came to see you". Cindy gave me flowers.

Cindy occasionally looked at the sleeping mas bram on the sofa and looked at him with a smile.

"so tired are you bram". said Cindy slowly.

"ahh, I came here just wanted to apologize. what you saw yesterday was not like what you think, all my mistakes.I apologize to you karin.

"yes, I have heard everything from mas bram. This time I forgive you, not because of you but because of mas bram".

"all right, I hope it heals soon". Cindy smiled at me.

Cindy turned around and walked slowly out of my room.

"why do I feel that he doesn't mean it, why do I feel threatened by him. What is this?  why am I feeling so bad?".

my hands trembled and I squeezed the blanket that covered my body.

"karin.. karin.. karin, what's wrong?  why are you daydreaming". said mas bram who called me.

"carin..... ". mas bram wiggled my body.

"ahhh bram.... ". I was surprised when mas bram slightly shouted calling me.

"what is karin?". asked mas bram.

"mas bram is up?". I said a little confused.

"what are you thinking?  this flower, who gave it to you?  are mom and dad coming ? ". so many things are asked by mas bram.

"ohh that, anu....not the mas. cindy just came and gave me flowers.

"what's cindy?  what did he tell you?  did he hurt you?  why didn't you wake me up? ".

"no mas, Cindy just apologized and then left".

"what more does he want ". gerutu mas bram.

"well, I don't want to talk about it anymore. We just solved yesterday's problem, anyway I've forgiven him".

"it's fine if it wants you, I won't discuss it.

"mother..... ". there was a cry of alisya who came and ran towards me.

"mother's child".I replied with a sigh.

"alisya misses mother". alisya immediately hugged me.

though only a few hours we did not meet but I have missed alisya very much.

"mother Also dear alisya ".

"hehehehe". alisya laughed.

"ohh. so now alisya does not miss papa anymore". mas bram turned his face.

"papa". alisya stretched out both his hands.

mas bram immediately responded to his alisya and held him.

"father's son was big it turned out, very heavy".

"thank you bi, take care of his eyebrows when I'm not home.

"iyaa non both". replied bi nina with a smile.

the atmosphere turned crowded when alisya came to see me, mas bram looks happy when playing together with alisya.

"papa geli, hahhahhaa pardon pa". alisya told his papa.

"papa will eat alisya, nyam... ". mas bram laughs his alisya stomach.

without me noticing, my eyes continued to look at the two of them who were joking together.My lips continued to smile non-stop and occasionally I laughed.

there's nothing happiest, other than being able to play and hang out with my little family.
