Maliq turned towards the source of the voice.

"When did Mamah come Mah??mamah sat there, sitting in a dark place"Maliq's strangler saw his Mom sitting on the sofa in the living room while the lights in the room were off.

Mom while standing.

"Change your clothes, and then Mamah will wait for you in Mamah's office".His speech flat.The Mamah Stare on Maliq is very cold.

"What's the mah?"Tanya Maliq was confused, not usually his Mom waiting for him to come home from work.

Mamah ignored Maliq's question.He walked towards his study as if to confirm to Maliq that he was waiting for Maliq to come to his study.

"Hhffft..what's wrong with Mamah.not usually this attitude"Maliq murmured while climbing the stairs and went into his room.Lamp Room is still brightly lit.

Maliq set his gaze towards the sofa where Syifa sleeps as usual.She saw Syifa asleep still wearing mukena while hugging the Quran.His legs dangled down.The position of his sleep is very uncomfortable.Maliq approached towards Syifa.His face was plain the one who slept that.

"What a peaceful sleep, as if there is no burden in your life.You Sholeha woman, never once I have seen You forget your duty as a Muslim.Actually I am ashamed of you Syifa."Mumbled Maliq while watching Syifa's face intensely.Kiraihnya Koran in the hands of Syifa and put him on the nightstand.Slowly release of mukena worn Syifa, Syifa,then Syifa's body was lifted to the bed and Syifa's place with a heart.

Maliq stepped into the bathroom to clean himself in a hurry.She remembers his Mom is waiting for him now.

"Tok.tok.tok"Maliq knocked on the door of Mamah's study.

"Come in"Mamah's voice sounded heavy from inside the room.

Maliq pushed the door and then entered.Maliq saw his Mamah staring at him flat.She sat in front of his Mamah.

Silent..

hushed...

quiet..

"Yes..."Maliq raised his face looking into the eyes of Mamah who was looking at him with a look full of disappointment.

"Why did Mamah ask Maliq like that??"Maliq responded to Mamah's question.

"Never answer a question with a Maliq Ahdan question!!"Pekik Mamah firmly.The voice is flat but full of emphasis.

Maliq was surprised.Maliq very well know if Mamah called his name completely means Mamah was very angry.

"Aa.apppa means this Mah..Maliq doesn't understand".Maliq was very nervous about the anger of Mamah.

"Where are you going today?"

"I'm in Mah's office just got home."Reply Maliq.

"Do you feel like there's nothing you need to talk about with Mom?".Ask Mamah again to Maliq.The gaze is getting sharper towards Maliq.

"Maliq is more confused, where is the direction of the goal of Mamah's question"Maliq complained while bowed.He did not dare to raise his head to just stare at his Mamah.

"Ok..now Mamah will clarify Mamah's question".

"When did Linda come back from her escape?"

"Deggs".Maliq was surprised, his head was staring at Mamahnya.

"Why??you surprised??Mamah had heard and seen all what happened in the cafe garden this afternoon, MALIQ"Mamah's voice was flat.She deliberately pressed her voice when calling the name Maliq.

Maliq was increasingly surprised to hear the statement Mamah.Rohnya felt parted with his body.Mouth just gaping without being able to make a sound to answer Mamah's question.She did not expect Mamah could hear his conversation with Linda earlier.Maliq felt not the time to explain in the past Mamah about her relationship with Linda.She is still waiting for the right time.But it turns out Mamah already knows it.
