The Thorn in the Family

A Secret

In the morning all family members who live in the house immediately prepare to carry out their activities as usual to move outside the house everything.

Today Tari asked Randi for permission not to pick her up at the bakery after work, Dari wants to visit Fitri's house to visit at once to tell her about Risma adopted child who will be immediately brought home next week.

Randi complied with his wife's request, but Fitri was also his cousin and their house was not too far only about four kilo meters. Randi said later when he wanted to go home from Fitri's house to give news so he could pick her up.

Fitri's House

Arriving at Fitri's house, Tari was greeted warmly by her first child Arsy Fitri, the little girl immediately whined for a dance car. It is with pleasure that Tari carries Arsi's body that has begun to weigh it.

Arsi told Tari a lot about her toys, about her dolls and about her friends at school. Talking about friends Dance so remembered with Risma, is not the age of Arsi and Risma almost the same age and they are both girls so it will be easier to get along and can be friends like their parents.

Dari also asked Fitri a lot about Arsi school, the plan is that later Tari will enter Risma at the same school as Arsi. In addition to telling a lot about his school activities Arsi also asked Tari to bribe him at that time.

“Sorry yes Tar is troublesome, Arsi likes to be fussy if you eat picky want to eat with whom?”.

The little girl whined and asked for a feeding Dance, if it wasn't the aunt Dance who was feeding her would cry and go on hunger strike.

Tari swiftly grabbed the small plate and painstakingly fed the semi-bribery bribe until the entire contents of the plate were exhausted.

“Say what's dear if you're full?”.

“Alhamdulillah”. Arsi and Tari compactly pronounce hamdalah.

After the dinner drama is over now Arsi asks Tari to read her a fairy tale in the room. Dari quickly fulfilled Arsi's request even though he was tired he was very happy. Maybe it's like having a child. Home from work greeted with a frenzy of spoiled screams they were occasionally also stained with their cries.

Dance smiled warmly looking at the Fitri children who were playing with her.

No time shows at nine o'clock at night, too fun to make Tari forget the time to go home soon. Dance feels free to play at Fitri's house because her husband is not at home so they can be more free to exchange stories, whether about couples, in-laws or others.

Dari asked for permission to leave for Arsi but unfortunately this four-year-old boy even sulked and cried, he did not allow Tari to go home just like that.

Dari took the initiative to read the storybook back but with sleep mode, with patience and patience Dance read page by page the existing storybook, while Fitri noticed from behind the door, he deliberately gave room to Dance to know the child and become a mother.

Half an hour later, it began to sound a smooth snoring that indicates if Arsi had fallen asleep. Dance quickly out of the room tidying up the bedroom arsi gave him bolsters on the right and left sides so that he was more comfortable while sleeping. Don't forget Dance also lit a therapeutic scent for the room.

Randi was waiting in the living room, both of them said goodbye to go home and promised to visit again at a later time.

Not much chatter they say along the way to the house besides being sleepy the distance home is also very close. Only occasionally did Randi ask.

“Are you happy dear today?”.

“Happy mas”. replied Tari with great enthusiasm, then a little he shared with Randi about his activities today with Arsi.

“Mas I can't wait to quickly pick up Risma and bring her to stay with us”. He said by staring at the streets that began to quiet.

“Sabar ya dear one week we invite Risma, all of us come to the wedding event mas Udin”. Replied Randi by holding her hand and occasionally kissing her hand.

“Rest baby you must be tired once”.

Dance just nodded her head.

So also Randi who was preparing to sleep, Randi also lay down beside Tari, his hands stroking overtime his wife's hair and took her in a hug.

It didn't take long for Dance to be in dreamland, probably because she was too tired today, so it was easy to fall asleep. Hearing the soft snoring of his wife Randi back up from the bed.

Randi headed to her balcony, ruffling with her hair. It should be the happiest moment in his life when he heard the pregnancy of his wife unfortunately this is not a pregnant Dance but a Rose. The woman he loved not one bit.

Tok.dok...

The sound of knocking on the door broke Randi's daydream, he quickly moved and opened the door.

“Mama”, he said briefly.

“Ran, you know today Mama is very happy. Finally Mama will have a grandchild.Mama's daughter-in-law has become pregnant, really Mama can't wait to see the little baby is born" said Ms. Srining with a big smile.

Randi glared perfectly at the words of the Mama and immediately pulled Mama out of her room to close tightly the door.

Randi led his mother to the terrace.

“Why Ran? Are you unhappy with your wife's pregnancy?”, asked Mama by looking closely at the face of the son who did not find the slightest happy look in his face.

“Ma, how can I be happy, I've betrayed Dance so deliberately”. His voice shakes withstanding the crying.

“Randi, you did not betray Tari, we will tell this to Tari later if it is time”.

While Randi quickly kept his body out of Mama's reach.

“Next week we will hold a thanksgiving at the Rose house to celebrate her pregnancy and also mendo’akan your child”. Mama said with great enthusiasm.

“Ma, next week I have to drive Tari home to pick up Risma while attending Mas Udin” wedding. Randi tried to refuse.

“Randi, Risma is only a foster child”.

“But thanksgiving can be done in another day, I want to take my wife to pick up Risma and meet her family”. Said Randi by leaving Mama who was still on the outside terrace.

“Randi..” Shouts Mama.

“Mama don't like in rebut”.

“Mama does not want to know thanksgiving should still be held next week, anyways Tari is an adult he can go home alone to his home”. Mama said with an annoyed grunt.

Randi who had tried to hold back his emotions now began to be provoked and came back to the Mama, how could he have to obey all the wishes of Mama in order to realize his devotion and love for parents.

Marrying the Rose, having a child of the Rose was all not her wish at all.
