Tonight I slept in the same room as my three children.
Moments like the old days are repeating themselves again. The moment when we slept all three of us while we were living in a bunk house
Naura and Adam are next to me, and Mikail is next to Adam
"I always lose." said Mikail as she laid her pillow.
We laughed at his dumel.
Then the three spread their bodies, and immediately Naura and Adam embraced me. Mikail did not want to lose, she extended her hand past Adam's body, reaching my stomach
I smiled, there was no happiness beyond this. I feel very happy.
Then we started to repeat our story first, about the ideals of my children, about their dream home, their dream car, until finally their story came to the time when they forced to go home
Naura looked back, then took a deep breath
"Now I know how your mother's grief used to be"
I smiled and rubbed his head
"It's past, son, it's far away. And it won't come back"
My phone on the table rang. Naura who was on the sidelines immediately picked it up
"Father, bun"
I immediately sat down and picked up Naura's mobile phone
It was a video call, I immediately swiped the video icon up
"Mama..."
Defne and Serkan's face immediately appears when the video call is connected
Me and my three children waved their hands at them
"When mom goes home?"
I rolled my eyes, confused as to what to answer
"We are really missing you Ma.."
"Sawf takun 'umiy fi almanzil, lakin lay alan, eazizi" (Mama is coming home, but not yet dear)
Face Flake and Defne cloudy
"Really sorry, please pardon me"
Both are still pouting
"lam natlub mink aleawdat 'iilaa almanzil, qulna lak faqat albaqa' fi 'iindunisia" goda Naura(mother we did not tell her to go home, our mother told us to stay in Indonesia only)
"No!!" both shouted loudly
Spontaneous Defne immediately cried and hugged the brother who was sitting on their lap
"Daddy, arsil al'umu 'iilaa almanzili. al'umi ghayr masmuh biha fi 'iindunisya. al'umu yajib 'an tadhhab 'iilaa almanzil" (Daddy, tell mama to come home. Mama cannot be in Indonesia. Mama has to go home) he yelled while hitting brother
Naura was immediately confused to see her sister crying, and she tried to persuade her
"Only a jokes honey, not serious"
"Hayo ayuk, adek Defne cry, come on ayuk..."
Naura hit Adam's arm which was greeted with a chuckling sound from him
Brother continued to try to calm Defne who still did not stop crying. I saw Serkan's face staring sadly at his sister.
"Okey, baed ghad mama taeud lilmanzil (OK, the day after mama's home)" I replied in the hope that Defne would stop crying
"Hey, you heard, your Mama said the day after tomorrow she will go home, so don't cry anymore, ok?"
Defne who was sticking her face on the chest of the elder brother slowly raised her face and stared at the screen
"Serious mom?"
I nodded and smiled at him
"In Shaa Alloh" I answered
I saw my brother tidying Defne's hair and hugging both of them
"Defne, apologize me, please.." said Naura with a clear face.
Defne put on a pouty face and it made us chuckle
"Serkan, kayf halika? (Serkan, how are you?) ask Mikail
Leave a smile
"Alhamd lilah bisihat 'akhi mabruk altakharuj" (Alhamdulillah healthy brother, congratulations for graduation)
"Congratulation too Abi." said Defne.
"Thank you my little twins, thank you so much" Mikail replied
"Congratulations, son, you're finally graduating. Papa was happy to hear that. You can mention any gift you want, you will send it to Indonesia"
Mikail smiled while shaking
"Thank you very much papa, but no need, just give me a prayer and support"
"If that's for sure son, papa always supports and prays for you"
"I'm sorry bang, I left my brother and the old kids"
Ozkan smiled and nodded his head
"Serkan and Defne to be brother's business, there will be a nanny. You just take care of all the needs of Mikail, later after fixing when Mikail leaves for your new education home"
I'm nodding.
"Mama, don't lie. You said the day after tomorrow you will go home, I am waiting for it"
I smiled wryly at Serkan's words
"It looks like you can't, brother hear what abi Serkan said?"
Me and brother chuckled
...****************...
Tomorrow, Mikail returns to the announcement site yesterday. As a result, he got information that tomorrow he will go to education for five months.
After knowing that my second child was going to education, and would return after the next five months, I said goodbye to both my parents and my brother and three children.
And back all management Mikail needs for education I leave it to Brother Andri.
Adam who next year will graduate High School I always encourage to study diligently, especially the tahfidznya field, from the first I do not emphasize the value of lessons on my three children, which I always emphasize only tahfidznya.
For the value of the lesson, I consider it a bonus only. But thank God all three always enter the top five.
It may be true, people say, if the intelligence is decreased from his mother. I don't think I'm smart, but be smart, hehehe.
Because if I'm not smart, I can be an educator and ummi assistant.
Today, my two children and I returned to our respective places. After saying goodbye and hugging my father, and brother Andri, the three of us left the hotel
As I was leaving, I tightly hugged and kissed Mikail. I don't know, I think I still think of him as the four-year-old kid I left behind. Only difference now he's high.
I really lost the moment of nurturing and raising her. And it feels like, never ask, it feels much more painful than being exposed to pain
"Mother pray you succeed in your education, sis, mother promise if God gives the mother long life, mother will come back again to see your inauguration"
Mikail nodded and hugged me.
"Please wish strong brother yes bun in his education"
"Surely son"
Next my three children shook hands and hugged each other
"We'll see you again in five months" Naura said, shrinking her tears
Both his sisters nodded. Then we immediately took a car, brother Andri who drove us to the airport using Mikail's car
"Sister's car is here?" ask brother Andri
My two children and I were silent.
"Who's bringing it?"
We're still quiet. Brother Andri immediately pulled over the car and stopped it, and looked at me who was sitting in the back
"Sat?"
I swallowed spit.
"Andi and his family"
Brother Andri breathed a rough breath while rubbing his face. For a second he was silent
"How did they get here?, who told him that Mikail took the TNI test?"
Back we were silent, I knew my children were very afraid of my brother, even though to him they were very close
"Corn?"
Naura who had lowered her face had not dared to raise her head
"Wak believes this is ayuk, because only ayuk keep their number, adek is not possible, because there is no mobile phone"
The three of us were still silent, I took a deep breath
"Everything's done, brother, graduation night it's all done with my three children"
"What's finished?"
"Everything sis. Everything my son has told Andi and his family, I hope they have a heart and are ashamed of us so they won't show their faces before us"
Brother Andri took a deep breath again, then rubbed Adam's head
"If there is anything, say uwak ya dek, uwak that will solve everything. For you guys, let alone energy, uwak's life is at stake!"
I rubbed my face because of the tears that fell to hear the words of Brother Andri.
Then back brother Andri drove a car, and on the way we saw there was a group Andi and his family like waiting for an angkot or bus, I don't know. I don't know where they're going
"Where's dad and where's bun going?"
I turned to Naura and looked back forward as if I had not heard her words
"Please stop for a moment wak, let's ask you where you're going"
"Yep..!!!" snapped
Brother Andri according to, he immediately pulled his car over
"Sorry bun, swing down for a while, just a little bun" he said as he immediately went down
I took a deep breath when I saw him running towards Andi's entourage
I don't know what Naura was talking about to them, because shortly after Andi and Naura were walking towards our car
"What do you want?" snapped my brother who immediately went down as soon as he saw Andi standing outside the car
I only noticed my brother who looked emotional
"Sorry brother, I want to talk just as beautifully"
The open windshield next to Naura allowed me to look at Andi
But since I'm sick of him, I don't care about him
"Talk to me!"
Andi gulped his saliva and with a tense face he changed his body position facing Andri
"We're short of money for the cost of going home, if I can I want to borrow money for the cost"
I was stunned to hear it. One side I pity, but the other side I thank him, I want to feel like I'm laughing out loud
"No money, if anything, I won't lend you"
Andi bowed, I saw Naura pull out her wallet.
"We're looking for the nearest atm dad, Naura's savings are there"
"Naura, it's your money that your mother loves, you have to remember that!" snatch me
"Once upon a time, ayuk promise, ayuk just this once only nolong father, the rest of the ayuk promise ayuk will not help father again"
I'm throwing my breath away, my teeth are grinding
"Come on up"
Naura then opens the car door for Andi and dazedly Andi up
"Naura you're in the middle, son, let her take the edge!"
Andi's legs were ready to go up immediately down again, changed Naura who rose, then he climbed as well
In the car we were all silent, I put on a wrathful face
