The Forbidden Desire of the Wife

The Childhood Story of Abraham

That night in the living room in the apartment unit Abraham seen Mama Diah had prepared three cups of warm tea with martabak telor and sweet martabak on the table. Meanwhile, Marsha did choose to take a bath first. It feels after a day of activities outside, flushing the body first and making sure the body is clean is an option for Marsha.

“Udah shower?” mama Diah asked as soon as she saw Marsha coming out of the room with half wet hair.

“Iya Ma ... the smell of sweat because, Ma ... if you have a bath is already fresh,” reply Marsha.

“Where was the shooting? Smoothly?” ask Mama Diah again.

“Lumayan Ma .. only Mas Bram was groggy. He said it was because he never took a photo. Funny yes Ma ... his work in front of the camera, but when photographed even groggy,” reply Marsha with a tickled chuckle. Recall how her husband's expression was so tense when photographed.

“Bram did not like photos since childhood .. he can think of you just maternity photos have been great,” reply Mama Diah.

Marsha then looked at Mama Diah's face with a look that seemed to need an explanation why her husband did not like to be photographed since childhood. It seems, surely Abraham has his own reasons why he does not like to be photographed.

“Iya .. used to be, her last photo was when she was 2 years old. On his birthday, the next day his father went to Jakarta. The same awesomeness of the Capital model, and then left Mama and Bram who were still small just like that,” Mama Diah's story with a sigh.

The sigh felt so heavy, that it felt to just retell how Abraham's childhood felt so heavy for Mama Diah. It's just that, with Marsha, Mama Diah can tell a story. Mama Diah considers that Marsha also deserves to know Abraham's childhood.

“After that, did Mas Bram ever meet his Papa?” ask Marsha.

“Pernah .. when Abraham was 7. Her father came with her stepmother and her stepmother. Abraham was a child at that time, seeing his father come and hold a child whose age was still small, Abraham as if protesting. Mama just thought maybe the memory of Abraham with his father is not much. In addition, there is the envy of an Abraham who was still a child to his step sister,” Mama Diah story again.

In the past, when the divorce of his parents when Marsha was in college alone had made Marsha so devastated. What about Abraham who had no childhood memories with his own Father. In the past, Marsha thought she was in a lot of pain when her parents separated. Apparently Abraham was going through much more painful things than he was. At least in his childhood, Marsha felt that he had parents, Mama and Papa lived together. Although often a check-in, but Marsha felt the nurture of Mama and Papa.

“It was only childhood, Sha .. now Abraham is an adult. Time has changed too. Abraham became strong after knowing you,” Mama Diah replied again.

“Then, Marsha thought .. Marsha was the one who suffered the most when Mama and Papa Marsha decided to divorce. However, after hearing Mas Abraham's childhood story, Marsha felt that Marsha was more fortunate. Although Papa and Mama often check, but Marsha has memories of childhood with Mama and Papa. Thank you for nurturing and raising Mas Bram until Mas Bram became a tough, mature figure, and now can care for Marsha. Thank you very much, Ma ..”

Marsha said it all in earnest, without Mama Diah who nurtured Abraham well, it was impossible for Abraham to be the figure he is today. Marsha fully believed that it was all because of Mama Diah who nurtured Abraham.

Mama Diah smiles and nods her head, “Sama-sama .. forgive Mama also for the mistakes of Mama in the past. Maybe because Mama was too afraid of the model, as if the memory with her Papa Bram used to come back just like that. You were a good girl long ago, Sha .. but long ago, Mama didn't like it and looked for various reasons to separate you and Abraham. Forgive Mama,” said Mama Diah.

The two talked together for a long time, until Abraham finally came out of his room, and joined his wife and mother.

“Seru really chat what the hell?” ask Abraham.

Both Marsha and Mama Diah were smiling, but it was Marsha who opened her arms and wanted to hug her husband. There was pride in Abraham's heart. As a man who never got the affection of a father, Abraham actually grew into a very kind and loving man.
