The Long Distance Marriage

LDM - Affection

Starla was still in the shadows when Raga treated her harshly on the bed. She was just afraid that her old husband would do the same thing, in the hotel she could scream as much, but at home it was different again.

Fucking raga!

"Raga, I'm worried about the kids, we're in the hotel a few days just for a painful honeymoon. Thank you for keeping me deterred" Starla said.

Until he arrived home, Allano welcomed him. He brought her a fan and handed it to Starla.

"It's for auntie" he said.

"Thank you my dear! So good and smart kid huh?" Legally.

"There is a surprise for auntie" said Allano again.

Then, Allano pulled out Starla's hand and took her to the living room.

"That's it!" yells.

Starla was surprised, her parents came to the house, she immediately hugged Papa Ray and Mama Bintang.

"Ma, I miss you," he whined.

"Mama too, son!"

"Papa's kangen, here papa hugs you. It's been a long time that my son hasn't come home, we've always been waiting for your presence" whined Papa Ray.

Raga watched the heartwarming scene, which she did not get from her mother, Mother Rose. Born to a wealthy family but lacking in affection. Her brown net glazed over as she watched the warmth of her in-laws.

"Daughter-in-law, how are you?" ask Papa Ray.

"Sorry, my legs are weak. I can't run fast anymore like young."

Raga approached and hugged her in-laws tightly. No doubt, the warmth of Raga this time invited the smile of the wife.

"It's good to have you here" said Raga.

"Ma, it's Allano" Starla said, guiding Allano's hand to get her closer to her grandmother.

"She loves to draw, dance and cook. He's helping me out in the kitchen."

"Yes, I love helping my aunt in the kitchen" Allano continued.

Huh huh?

Mama Bintang was stunned as soon as she heard the plain words from Allano's mouth. Implied stare of astonishment and shock.

"Call call him aunty? She's already your mommy, she should call her mommy" she protested.

"Geez, don't you guys not get along?" ask Papa Ray.

"How would you have a harmonious family if each one lived that way. Starla, haven't you been doing your mom and wife duties in this house?"

"Oh, of course Starla is very agile to carry out her duties here, I as her husband do not want to give too much weight to her" said Starla.

"He's good at cooking too sparingly. It's just not yet able to business and lead the company."

Gluey!

Papa Ray and Mama Bintang were stuck. Their gazes were instantly fixed on Starla.

"Oh, he was once an art teacher and had worked in an office as well, so it was natural that he could not do business. Hehehe, yes at least I educated him to be a good and loving child" Papa Ray said.

Not long after, appeared Allura and Flo came to them. Allura's twin brother immediately hugged Raga to vent his longing. Flo did the same thing but this girl was still gloomy and difficult to smile.

"It's Allura, it's Flo, it's Grandma hug," said Mama Bintang. Then the two children also hugged him tightly. "Beautiful children will be successful in the future."

"Of course," Allura said cheerfully.

Huh!

"My mother has never once been warm to her granddaughter" Raga said.

"It was sad when I experienced the same thing: less affection from parents."

"Dad, where's Oma Rose going?" ask Allura. "She should be like grandma and grandpa."

"Allu, oma is busy taking care of the company, later also go home," said Starla.

Stunned, he passed from before everyone. Then he went to the kitchen and found Bi Mia who was busy slicing vegetables. How surprised ART was to meet Raga who had arrived home.

"Master Raga!" yells.

"Auntie cook first to make a guest treat. They are friendly, and polite. Know no? When they got here, your in-laws immediately shook hands and continued to hug auntie as well. Allan likes them."

Raga took her breath.

"Where's my mom?"

"Madam Rose was said to be busy leading the company, but the stranger auntie was, she liked a phone call with a guy named Luth. My aunt doesn't know what they're talking about in a foreign language. But what I hear madam likes to say is 'hallo baby'!"

"What!" Choked raga.

"Oh, baby means baby, right? Madam called her friend a baby, so curious," continued Bi Mia.

Raga begins to suspect her mother. The older the more he made her shake his head, what other problems in his life?

"Actually what makes Mr. Raga interested in Starla, she was an ordinary girl. Aunty more agree the master married Dilara, she is classy and beautiful yes although a little arrogant and careless as children," said Bi Mia.

"What! As though? If he's evil, I could have fired him as a private doctor of children" Raga said.

Oops!

Bi Mia closed her mouth because of the shock. His face was red with embarrassment and Raga left him.

"We all want to eat quickly!" shout Raga.

Raga passed through the living room to the second floor stairs, she still watched the children playing puzzles with her grandfather. Something he had never done to his son. There is also a sense of guilt why he is so cold and less responsible to them.

"Luth, who's Luth?" That name is what is in his heart now.

Starla saw Raga who was in a bad mood. She deliberately let her husband and preferred to accompany her parents. After two hours of playing puzzles, Papa Ray plays guessing which invites children's laughter.

"Starla, here mama wants no need," said Mama Bintang. Taking her to the yard.

"Why ma? Is there a similar health problem papa?"

Mama Bintang looked anxious, she did not immediately reply, her eyes were teary and she turned her gaze forward as if objecting to talk.

"Say, Ma. I'll help you" said Starla.

"Your father was affected by a nervous disorder, maybe for a long time his legs could be paralyzed or have memory problems. So don't be weird if one day he forgets you."

"What's? Why is that so ma? But I can't help my mom to take care of my dad, frankly I'm sad why I should marry someone else sooner. Why don't I just be an old virgin so I can accompany you both" Starla said sobbing.

"Eh no cry, you strong women certainly can, mama educated you to be a smart and tough woman. But, mama wants to ask, are you happy with Raga? just now the kids call you aunty, why not call mommy or mama? Or maybe-don't-"

"No, I'm happy with him, I swear!" Starla said while crying.

Mama Bintang hugged her tightly to strengthen her daughter's heart. Perhaps only the old man now calms the woman in times of sadness and hardship.

Then, suddenly there was the sound of a foot beating approaching them.

"What are you doing here?"
