You Forgot My Wife's Son

Chapters 2.

"Eh, mother's son, have you gone home? How do you pout... why?" Tika asked when Jenita came home from Kindergarten, in a manyun state. Tika crouched down in front of her son rubbing shoots at him, lovingly.

"Mother... Jenita wants to see Dad, said Mother, Daddy's still there, right? Jeni shy bun, in katain temen-men, said Jeni bastard son." Jenita was crying. Questions like this have often been heard Kartika. But as much as possible Tika reasoned.

"How many times have you said baby... Dad is looking for money for us, don't listen to people's words" Tika explained.

"Mother lie! Jeni's friends are her father at work, but leave early in the morning home in the afternoon" Jenita seems to have started to think.

"Yes, yes, tomorrow we look to Kota, now Jeni change clothes, continue to eat yes son" Tika relented.

"Yee yeee's... Jeni is happy, thank you Bun" Jeni hugged Kartika tightly.

"Yes, we'll find Dad together, but don't expect too much, son, because you don't know the address yet." Kartika looked at her son.

"Iya Bun" Jenita said then to the room to change clothes, after putting dirty clothes in the basket. Jenita fell asleep while staring at the photo of Father and his mother. Fhoto when married first. "Dad, we'll meet soon" Jeni murmured.

Then, Kartika sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, thinking hard. There was no other choice for Jeni, she wanted to find her husband, but it didn't work out the important thing was to try rather than continue to expect the uncertain.

At night Jeni was asleep while Tika chatted with Tini's mother in front of the television.

"Mom, I think I should go to the City" said Tika.

"To town? Want to play at your sister's?" Ask Mom Tini.

"Iya Bu, that's one of them, Tika also wants to find information, maybe Kak Aldi knows the existence of Angga" said Tika. Aldi is her brother-in-law, Arum's husband Tika's only older sister.

"Why do you look for Angga again, such a man does not need to be sought, why the hell? You're not looking for divorce papers, there's a lot of good men willing to marry you!" tini said she was upset, if she remembered her irresponsible daughter-in-law.

"Yes ma'am, but the thing is, it's not me I think. You know, how Jeni insisted she wanted to see her dad"

"Let's see, Angga is Jeni's biological father, if indeed Angga is gone we can give an explanation to Jeni."

"Partially, we don't know what happened to Angga, maybe there was another problem, which made him unable to go home." Kartika thinks positively.

"Yes already... when do you want to leave?" tanya Tini gave up.

"Sunday ma'am, waiting for Jeni to take a day off" Tika replied.

"You better call your mother first yes, don't come immediately" said Bu Tini.

"Good ma'am"

Tonight Kartika also contacted Mbak Arumi who lives with her son and husband in the city.

Derrrttt.

Arumid. "Hallo deck"

Tica. "Hallo Ma'am, sorry to interrupt, have you slept?"

Rumi's. "Not Deck, what's up? Tumben, I'm okay, right?"

Tica. "Good mother Ma'am, thank God.. next week, I want to visit the house of Mbak Rum can not?"

Rumi's. "You're this? Speak what the heck.yes obviously can be Tik" said Arumi.

The brothers talked to each other Kartika expressed her intentions, and Arumi agreed.

A week later. "You be careful, son, until the city immediately inform Mother Yes" Ms. Tini hugged her children and grandchildren alternately, her tears wet her wrinkled cheeks.

"Yes mom, I'm also good at home, pray Tika quickly find Mas Angga yes, so we can quickly gather again with Mom" said Tika.

Tika tightened her arms, the child and mother shed tears. Tika actually did not have the heart to leave Tini's mother alone at home. But, what can be done, so far Kartika has never been separated from Bu Tini, if you are visiting Arumi to the city, surely both ways.

"Mother... Nini.. don't cry, let's go" Jeni separated the arms of Nini and her mother.

"Be careful, baby, if you have met Dad, go home soon" Nini alternately hugged her second grandchild with affection.

"Definitely Ni, Nini do not cry, did Nini often say, Jeni should not be whiny, even Nini is the same Mother who is whiny" said Jeni imitated Nini's advice to him. Nini took off her chuckling opener looking at her cute looking grandson.

With a potluck, Kartika left home, then moved to the city.

"Assynoltom..." Kartika has arrived at Rumi's house.

Ceklek" the door was opened out a beautiful woman who looks like Kartika.

"Alhamdulillah, you have arrived" said Arumi and hugged Kartika, and Jeni alternated. Then he went inside and sat in the guest room. Simple house type 80 owned by Mbak Rumi, quite large, for the size in a big city like Jakarta.

"Sister Anisa where's Bude?" ask Jenita.

"He's in his room, there, go in" Arumi told Jenita. Jenita rushed to see her cousin.

"Sister Anis"

"Jenita?"

Anis and Jenita take off each other's kangen, already a year ago, they did not meet.

"Said Mama, you want to stay here huh? I'm happy, we'll go to school together, yes, you're this year, going to Elementary, right?" tanya Anis at length.

"Yes, but I'm ashamed, if the school will be like in the village, I'm always in the bed of friends, outcasts, illegitimate children" jeni sad.

"Jen, you have me here, so someone's defending" they're talking like adults. Anisa is now in second grade SD.

Kartika and Arumi were also chatting "Bang Aldi has not come home yet?" tika asked while taking out the souvenirs of Tini's mother, they were currently in the kitchen.

"Yet, usually the new maghrib arrived" replied Arumi.

"Waah.. You brought what Tik? a lot" Arumi looked at her sister's luggage. There are pete, vegetables, nuts, and herbs.

"Obias Mother Ma'am, anything to be taken, let's taste it said, out of wanting to bring snacks here too much."

"It's okay Tik, I'm happy, just sorry, you're carrying it must be heavy"

"It's okay, Ma'am, I've arrived, oh yeah, I'm hitching the bathroom"

"Please"

Kartika also went to the bathroom located near the kitchen, cleaning the body that already felt sticky. After taking a shower, Kartika returned to the living room, seeing her brother had a chat with her husband Renaldi. Apparently, Renaldi has come home.

"Sister's home" Tika said.

"Have you heard Tik?" Aldi looked at Tika who was walking beside him.

"Good sister" he said briefly then sat in front of Rumi. They talked about the news, after that, Tika talked about the initial goal, which is about Angga.

"Where are you going Tik? it's been almost 6 years, your husband's gone" Aldi said.

"Yes..who knows brother, his name is also a business, tomorrow I want to find work, as well as looking for info, hopefully Angga can be found soon" replied Kartika hopeful. "As long as I haven't gotten a contract and a job, can't you, I'll take Jeni?"

"You can't find a contract first, before you find Angga Tik, here is vulnerable, you think we are calm, thinking you are just staying alone"

"What's more, if Jeni you stay at work later, the time will be at home alone" Arumi gave the worst picture.

"Yes Tik, let Jeni stay here, after all there will be an empty guest room" Aldi added.

"We think about tomorrow, now we eat first" Rumi concluded. After eating they sleep.

The next day, Tika prepares breakfast to help Rumi. "What are you cooking Tik?"

"Making fried rice pete Mbak" said Tika briefly while smiling at Rumi.

"Are you looking for work today?" rumi asked as she brought the dishes, from the kitchen to the dining table.

"So Ma'am, tipped Jeni ya"

"Silent... Tik, God willing Jeni is safe with me"

They also had breakfast together, finished breakfast Aldi went to ride a motorcycle.

Jeni also wanted to leave, already well-dressed. "You don't be naughty, son, mother wants to find work too, pray mother quickly get a job yes son" Tika kissed her son's cheek.

"Find Dad too ya bun" said Jeni memelas.

"It's it, son, but like you said yesterday, don't expect too much"

"Yes mother" Jeni stared at the departure of her mother until she entered the public transportation.
