Trapped in the Love of the Past

Eps. 60

Samar I heard the voice of dawn. I opened my eyes and woke up. I took the phone at the table, I noticed the phone screen turned out to be half five in the morning.

I hurried to wake up Rohman to perform the morning prayers. As he is my priest today. And I hope to be my priest. Until death do us both part.

"Mas, wake. It's dawn, let's pray together." There's no sign of Rohman waking up yet. He seemed to squirm for a while but did not open his eyes.

I tried to wake him up again. I shook his body with a tight drum and whispered in his ear so that he would wake up.

"Mas, let's get up. We pray together it's dawn." Finally, Rohman opened his eyes. He is not fully aware yet. Yeah, I know I might still feel tired from yesterday's reception. So did I, too, feel so profound fatigue.

"Come on, don't be lazy."

"Hmm, yes, dear." Rohman got up from his sleep and began to sit on the edge of the bed. He stroked my hair and kissed my forehead.

"Come, get some water wudhu mas. There is still time."

Without further ado, Rohman immediately went from the bed to the bathroom. I followed him from behind. After ablution we perform dawn prayers together. Then read the Quran together.

***********

The day began to show the light of the sun. Today I serve Rohman like a wife. I made you a drink and breakfast food.

As long as I cook, I haven't seen my mom and sister Rohman. Guess where they went. Cooking it still sleeps, it seems impossible.

Finally my cooking is done. I serve you food at the dinner table. There is vegetable soup, fried chicken, tempeh fried, and sambal terasi. I called Rohman for breakfast. Well, even though he's on leave today at least had breakfast.

"Mas, the cooking is ready. Come on, eat first."

"Oh yes, father mother same brother where you go. How come I haven't seen it, mas."

"I don't know, honey. Maybe go to the house or to the market. Yeah, let's eat."

"What's okay if we eat first don't wait."

"Not what, baby. You'll be tired of your son."

"Yes, let's eat together."

I started getting rice, vegetables and side dishes for Rohman. And he started to put his food in his mouth. His head seemed to be slowly moving.

"Taste you good, baby. No less the same as mother's cooking."

"This is my favorite menu. Sop and fried chicken."

"You eat a lot, baby. Must be a lot of nutrition. Let the baby and mother stay healthy."

"Yes, I understand. When did you start working?"

"Maybe three more days, baby. In two days we're gonna move into a new house."

"Two days, my mom?"

"Yes dear. There the stuff is complete. We just have to bring enough clothes.

When the two of us were cool to eat while chatting, father and mother arrived Rohman came. They brought some plastic bags.

"Mother, where's the father from?" Ask Rohman with a bit of astonishment.

"From the market, buy the ingredients for the contents of the refrigerator."

"Kok mom didn't just tell us, anyway."

"We woke up from dawn, Mom."

"Yes, it's important that you and your father go home."

"Oh yeah, Masri's mom had breakfast first. I've cooked vegetable soup with fried chicken."

"You guys go first, son. Mom will follow. I want to go to your aunt's place and give her a tit. I'm afraid I'll forget."

"Yes, mom."

I sat at the dinner table and joined me and Rohman. We only ate with the father, while Mirna smpai has not been seen yet. Is he not awake yet.

"Where to, sir? How is it not seen yet?"

"Ooh, this morning picked up his friend said he wanted to jog together."

"Hmm, I don't think I'm awake yet."

After eating I immediately clean the dirty dishes on the table to the kitchen. I washed all the dirty equipment. After that I cleaned the table.

I looked at the wall clock at nine. The weather is very bright. I immediately took a shower to make the body feel fresh.

This afternoon I sat on the porch. While looking at the people who were dismantling the tent for yesterday's event. Rohman came and sat down next to me.

"Darling, do you feel at home living here?"

"Why do you ask like that?"

"It's okay, just make sure."

"My life principle is mas, feel at home, comfortable uncomfortable it depends on the people around and what kind of environment."

"During here I was treated well by your family, and vice versa. I can also treat your family well."

"At home or not for now I can say at home. Your family is all good, mas. And I love that it's a sign they can accept me."

"Dear, I'm just making sure. It's easy later in your new home too at home, yeah."

"If for example later when I work at home you feel lonely no friends, you really go to mother's house first. I'll go home from work and pick it up."

"It's a big deal, it's nothing to think about. We're still here, right. That business we'll think about later if it's moved."

No buth long time all tents have been dismantled and have been transported by vehicle. Rohman and I took the initiative to clean up the trash in the yard and burn it. Thank God, the yard looks clean again.

The day began to change the night. As usual every night we always gather in front of the tv with the Rohman family. And it's time I spoke to old man Rohman. That in two days we'll move into a new house.

It's actually heavy for me. I feel unbearable with old man Rohman. They were very nice to me. Accept me for what I am. Even though I'm pregnant and not Rohman's real son. But they seem to love me as much as their own children.

"Mr, mother, look. Rohman's two-day plan is for Lissa to move into a new house. Please permission, father, mother. Rohman only wants to live independently because it is not the responsibility of the father and mother."

"But later Rohman same Lissa will often come here, why not look at the same father. It's not far away either."

"May you and I understand."

"Son, actually mom and dad are both here. But if that's the will, yes mom and dad can't forbid."

"Message father, take care of your household. If there is a problem, it will be solved with a cold head. Not with emotion, that's your message."
