The Ours In Another Story

31. When My Mother Sick (1)

Lia was sick, and it was a huge disaster for a Junius Candra Kusuma. He who usually just woke up when Abi was singing in front of the tv now from the morning blind he was already forced to do this it. Starting from making milk for the twins, bathing them, changing to help Abi, making breakfast to take her to school. Fortunately, Jevan and his wife were understanding. Mbak Rere had arrived early in the morning while carrying a container of spinach and fried tempe. Rere's mother then also gladly helped Junius drive Abi to school.

“Yus, actually lo this is the same Mas Jevan can not pick up the children. You pick it up later,” said Rere who was still holding Rama who was crying to go back to sleep.

“Yes later,” says Junius stays busy in front of the washing machine.

“Junius really, yeah, 11 o'clock. Don't be late. You don't have any meetings, do you?” ask Rere again.

“There's a half hour 1. I'll take you to the boutique, what about?”

“Go home just don't papa let the kids rest at home. After lunch I will be here. I help Lia take care of the twins too,” replied Rere.

“Beres, here Rama same father let aunt Rere nganter Mas same sister to school ya.”

Junius was still holding Rama in his arms and occasionally fondling the boy. Rama is indeed the most sensitive, if there is anything with his mother he will certainly feel. Rather different from Krisna who just sleeps with Lia who tries to resist the throbbing feeling in her head. After driving Rere to the front door and making sure his brother-in-law had left, Junius stepped in and slowly put Rama to sleep in the cradle lined with Krishna who had been sleeping since.

“Dad, shower keep getting ready there. It was this afternoon,” said Lia who was trying to sit down.

“Mother sure not papa? That's a big puck on his face. Udah Mommy just rest yes, let Daddy who takes care of the twins equally clean-up home.”

“Daddy doesn't work?”

“Dad already same permission Mas Reno this morning. I leave at noon after picking up Abi with Nafiza.”

“Judah dehurmat. Daddy help Mother would not? To the dining table, Mommy wants to eat continue to take medicine,” ask Lia.

“Sini yuk.”

Junius painstakingly pushed Lia towards the dining table, making sure Lia was sitting comfortably and he stepped into the corner of the pantry. He opened his rice cooker to get a barrel of rice for Lia. Then another one for himself. Lia had eaten first, while Junius was busy making warm tea with his back to Lia. Luckily Lia looks greedy eating with spinach made by Mbak Rere makes Junius so hungry follow see him eat.

“Bun, you have two days sick rich gini. We go to the doctor?” invite Junius who was checking Lia's body temperature by sticking the back of his hand to the forehead of the wife.

“No need Dad, I'm not papa. Today is better than yesterday. Anyway if I'm the same you go to the hospital that looks after the twins at whose house?” said Lia.

“Ngak ah, too ngerepotin. I'll just later all you pick up Abi buyin Mother of medicine. Which usually it's one strip yes.”

“Iya later father buy. It was finished breakfast, kept going back to sleep again just rest. Dad wants to hang clothes first in the back,” said Junius.

Junius dried the clothes he had washed one by one. The twins, their laundry is never small. If other families who just had a baby can wash 2 buckets, how are Junius who has twins. It was obvious from how this time Junius had started to nag at the morning sunlight that dazzled his eyes. He said he couldn't see the clothesline because the sunlight wasn't innocent.

Half an hour later Iyus had to take a shower. Even though he washes using a machine but still all his clothes can be wet like this. Not to mention that he washed dishes and splashed water. Before she took off her clothes she saw her reflection in the mirror. How depressing. Beler's face, disheveled hair, sweating a lot, clothes are not bad, plus Rama had vomited and dirty his clothes.

Though if he observes Lia has never been this confused in completing his homework. He if he sees Mbak Rere is also normal. Moreover, Monik, he almost never saw the hair mbak Mon disheveled indistinct. Seeing him wear a negligee is never like it.

Junius sighed for the umpteenth time today. He had not yet left for work, but his body was tired. He took a bath in haste considering the clock had already shown at 10. Fortunately the streets were not as crowded as usual, so he could get to the school on time.

Once there, Junius gets out of the car and waits for Abi and Nafiza at the school gate. In his heart he was reluctant to join the mothers who were comparing the price of the pot when purchased on credit or cash but if he did not appear at the gate how his two children could know he had come by.

Junius chose to keep his distance. He grabs his phone in his pants pocket and intends to open an online game to wipe out the boredom. Her new style was putting her hands in her right pocket, a mother who was busy showing off her husband's ring to meet him. Inevitably Junius so let out a smile. Just a smile knot limited to formality, but the mothers respond to it excessively, worse yet other mothers are equally excessive. They crowded towards Junius who began to clumsy where he stood.

“Who is this? Abi's dad huh?” ask mothers with veils like office mothers.

“Iya ma'am, just Junius his father Abi,” said Junius was forced to answer.

“New first time pick up yes, usually the Bunda. Where is Mommy Lia?” ask the other mothers.

“Again't feeling good ma'am, so I picked up.”

“Not be formal so Mas. Just relax.”

“Mas Junius, send a message to Mama Abi and Nafiza can yes. After Friday, make a menu with him to cook together at the house of Mama Kila, later told Mbak Lia the same Mbak Rere to spend the ingredients yes, yes, continue to make his weekly dues mbak Lia still has not paid,” said mothers who had been busy noting.

“What weekly rules bu?”
