The Step Sister of Tiri

228. Buying equipment

"You're good, Na?" mama Aisyah asked when she saw her daughter-in-law had come out.

"Yes, Ma, it's usually like that."

Zayna picked up Baby Ars who was in Mama Aisyah's arms. The baby looked so happy to see his mother. Sometimes he was surprised, how could his son who was so small, always acted as if he understood the difficulties of his mother. Maybe this is called the bond.

"You've been taking vitamins from the doctor, Na?" ask Mama Aisyah.

"Yet, Ma. Males is taking medicine again. It's getting nauseous so, I don't drink first."

"It's better to be forced to drink it, let you get well soon."

"Yes, Ma. I'll have a drink after lunch. Now also still have not eaten anything from morning, males eat rice." Zayna shook her head, as she imagined the food that would make her even more nauseous.

"What do you want to eat? Let Mama findin."

"No need, Ma. I still don't want to eat. Later if I want something, I must find it myself," said Zayna who felt bad for her in-laws who had been very good to her.

"Really, yeah! You will eat for yourself. Do not let you not eat. Remember that there's a fetus you need to feed in your body."

"Yes, Ma. I'll eat." Later."

Mama Aisyah nodded slowly. He immediately returned to the room because the woman had not taken her medicine either. From the morning Mama Aisyah has been bothered by Baby Ars. Not that he objected, only he was too engrossed to forget time.

"Auntie, what's that for?" zayna asked as she saw her housekeeper making something, which seemed refreshing.

"No more doing anything, Neng. It's just a drink, Auntie wants to drink sweet tea, so make her own drinks" replied Bik Ira who felt bad for her employer.

“It's okay, Bik. Why is Auntie afraid so much of me? The kitchen was already Aunt's place so, Auntie was free to do anything. Just drinking something."

"Auntie thinks Eneng is angry."

"No, but don't forget to make it for me too, yeah, Bik. I want something sweet, too." Zayna laughed after saying so.

"Ready, Neng. Bibi bawain later," said Bik Ira with enthusiasm.

Zayna put Baby Ars in the stroller and made the child formula milk. He had decided, to give formula only to his son because from yesterday, Baby Ars diarrhea also never healed. After being taken to the doctor, it remains the same. Today the woman is trying with formula milk hopefully in a cured manner.

While conversing with Bik Ira in the kitchen with busy hands, there was the sound of footsteps approaching. Both women looked over. It turned out that Mama Aisyah was neat. I don't know where her in-laws are going.

"Na, would you not pa-pa if Mama stayed for a while. Mama wants to see Kinan, he has improved or not" said Mama Aisyah.

"Yes, it's okay. I if noon is also common again, only if the morning just like limp."

"Thank God then. Yes, Mama left first," said Mama Aisyah to Zayna who then turned to look at her grandson. "Oma's granddaughter is fine with Mama, yes!" Mama Aisyah kissed her grandson's cheek and then left the house. Bik Ira and Zayna with Baby Ars.

"This, Neng. The sweet tea" said Bik Ira, putting a glass of tea on Zayna's front desk, while the woman was giving milk to her son, who seemed to like her.

"Baby Ars seems to like it a lot, Neng.”

"Yes, Bik. Thank goodness I didn't have to look for another brand. This is also on the recommendation of the doctor," Zayna replied while watching her son. "Bik, if there is a pregnant woman like me. Early in the morning had vomited, the body was limp, but a bit of a pity was as usual again, as if nothing had happened."

"There is something like that, Neng. Some are even worse, vomiting all day. There are also those who vomit only at night. The baby's body is different" Bik Ira replied, making Zayna nod her head.

During her first pregnancy, she was not aware that she was pregnant. The pregnancy now, feels once the existence of the baby. He hoped that his son this time could be healthy until the time of birth arrived. Hopefully there are no obstacles like the birth of his first child.

Zayna looked at him and asked, "Auntie, what do you want to say? Just say it."

Despite the doubt, Bik Ira still said it. He couldn't keep putting it off. "Look, Neng. Yesterday Aunt's youngest child, was accepted to college in this city. He said he wanted to come with Auntie to stay here. Later he will help, but Neng and Madam do not have to pay. Think of it instead because he lives here."

Zayna seemed to think, she could not take a unilateral decision for granted. All decisions are in his hands. The woman did not want to be considered presumptuous because she had given permission without asking first.

"I can't decide for myself, Bik. Auntie also knew that I was here son-in-law. Even though Mama Aisyah already thinks of me like a child herself, but still I am only a daughter-in-law so, can't just allow it. I'll try to talk to Mama about this. The decision later how, I can not interfere. It's all in his hands."

"Yes, Neng, Auntie understands. Helping aunt talk to madam is enough. Hopefully the mistress and master also agree that Bibi is also no longer far away from Aunt's child. Aunt's son who hasn't been married is just her. He has been living in a dormitory all this time. Just this time there was a chance to stay with Auntie so, Auntie wants to make the most of her time."

"Yes, Bik. Hopefully. I can't do anything either. Which college did he get into, Bik?"

"Not far from here, Neng. Aunty was happy because the campus included an elite dictionary. Moreover, Bibi's son was accepted through the scholarship path, it made Bibi even more proud."

"Alhamdulillah if that's how it is. I'm also happy that Aunt's son is a great person" Zayna said with a smile.

"Adam, let's go home!" call Hanif to his son who is still playing.

"Yes, Pa," cried Adam who then ran towards the father.

The two left school with hands. This time Hanif's destination was a school supply store. Much was needed by Adam, Hanif who chose various supplies with the help of Adam and the shopkeeper. Fortunately, the uniform had been purchased at school so there was no need to think about it anymore.

Not to forget also Hanif brought Adam to the shoe store. The boy was so happy to see the row of shoes that he had always wanted so much. Her friends always have the latest models, but not with her. Each time you ask for a new one, it will end in punishment.

"Pa, this is good! I want this one" cried Adam when he saw one of the shoes he had wanted so much.

"Mom, want that one. Please find the right number" Hanif told employees.

"Yes, Sir. Just a minute."

The employee served Adam well and searched for the right shoe number. After all the equipment had been fulfilled, Hanif immediately invited his son to go home. Both have to go home today. After lunchtime the man should arrive at the company. There are monthly meetings that he has to attend.

"Pa, we'll buy you a fruit mama first, huh? The fridge is all gone" said Adam as he was on his way.

"Can you, Auntie didn't buy fruit yesterday? Why did it end?"

"I don't know either. Yesterday I saw it was over, just two oranges left."

"Yes, in front of the fruit shop. We stopped there, yeah! You can choose whatever you like. Coincidentally now in avocado season, surely Mama is also happy."

"You like avocados, Pa?" ask the boy again because he did not know what

"Yes, your mom really likes that fruit. Hopefully now while pregnant still like.”

"Indeed if pregnant likes to change her favorite, Pa? I saw my mom as usual about my appetite. Even Mama also looks very active, even though the doctor has asked Mama to rest a lot.
