You Forgot My Wife's Son

Chapter 49

Jeni came out of the bathroom was tidy. After bathing, change clothes given by Hanifah.

He sat on the sofa of Hanifa's room, his face gloomy thinking his Mother's father must be looking for him.

"Do not be sad, we should eat first" Hanifah persuaded him.

"I'm not hungry" he said, his right hand painted a sofa imagining a sketch of Kartika's face. His left hand held his chin.

"I know, if I were in your position, separated from Mama, it would be sad. But.. if we eat first, our minds become calm, we can think of finding a way out." advice Hanifah with children's language is easy to understand.

"Come, Papa and Mama I, must have been waiting at the table to eat." continued Hanifah.

Jeni relented, it was true what Hanifah said then they went down.

Jeni stopped staring at the dining table from the stairs. Linda was eating for her husband while carrying a one-year-old boy. Hanifa who walked first rubbed his sister's plump cheeks, the sister also laughed while thrashing. What a beautiful sight in Jeni's eyes.

Jeni took a deep breath. He can only hope to be reunited with Father, Mother. Given a cute sister like Jeni sees today.

"Nak came down. Kok was standing there." Linda waved her hand. Disperse the daydream of Jeni.

"Yes Aunty..." Jeni until the table eats, along with that, the young ART takes the boy from Linda's sling.

"Sit down son" Linda said.

"Here Jen, sit next to me" Hanifah pulled the chair next to her.

"What's his name?" ask Mr. Lecturer.

"Jenita Om." Jeni looked at the man she called Om smiling.

They eat together. After eating all gathered in the family room while watching television.

"Why are you in our car, son?" mama Linda asked to start the conversation.

Jenita recounts when Diana picked her up at school from A to Z. But Jeni did not tell me the kidnapping motto.

"Oh Allah.. So you were kidnapped? how insolent that woman is." Linda said grumpily. Linda then embraces Hanifah next door, praying in her heart not to befall her son.

"If we take you, do you remember the way home?" connect Linda.

"Forgotten Aunt. but Jeni wants to go home, surely Mother Jeni again cry, thought Jeni." although since then held back crying. The girl finally cried.

"Keep, how is this Mas, true also what Jeni said. Must be confused at home?" ask Linda to her husband.

"Where was your uniform, son?" ask Mr. Lecturer.

"Brought to the back with Aunt" Hanifah said.

"Try the address photo on Jeni's uniform, where she goes to school." Papa told Hanifah.

Hanifah went to the laundry place, brought her Papa's cell phone and took the address on the uniform, where Jeni was at school.

"It's Pa" Hanifah handed the phone to her Papa. Papa then ZOOM address. "Astagfirrullah. This far away Ma, in Jakarta" Papa looked at his wife.

"Jeni... Now just like this, Om wants to take you, but tomorrow morning ya." Lecturer thinks, if he's looking for a school address tonight. There's nothing to do. No one can be asked, no school.

"But..." Jeni did not continue her words. Of course it's not polite, and it's troublesome too, having people deliver themselves these nights. "Om OK." In the end, Jeni gave up.

"Child pinter... Jeni's taking a break with Hanifah, tomorrow we go to school. Ask the teacher where your address is. Okay.." said Papa at length.

Jeni said, then invited Hanifah to enter the study room. "You take a break, yes, I want to do PR" Hanifah opened a math book.

"What class are you in?" ask Jeni.

"Fourth class" said Hanifah.

"Oh just like my brother." Jeni opens Hanifah's textbook.

"You have a sister?" Hanifah looked at Jeni's face sitting opposite to her.

"Have it anyway. but my son bude"

"Oh, that's a cousin's name." concluded Hanifah then worked on PR. But many times Hanifa let out a rough breath.

"The PR is very difficult Jeni, I asked Papa to teach first." Hanifah wants to move.

"Yes try it first, who knows, you can" Jeni researched the questions. "Oh this is a multiple formula. Bla, blah, blah. Selsi" said jeni. Then put a pencil on the table.

"You sure? you're right, Jen?" Hanifa is not sure. Because Jeni's been working on it for a while.

"I think it's true, because it often helps sister Nisa, but it's never wrong."

"Now to convince, just ask your Papa"

Because discussing mathematical formulas can be a little comforting to Jeni, not too sad to think about Mommy. Jeni then tries to sleep, though in her sleep is restless.

All night Jeni always dreamed of Mother's Father.

The next day Jeni heard the dawn adhan. He opened his eyes slowly. "Mother... Mother, wake up, it's dawn..." Jeni tilted swaying Hanifah's body.

"Tumben, Mommy has not woken up usually has prayed" he said in a hoarse voice.

Hanifah wriggled slanted towards Jeni, her eyes still closed either awake or not.

"Oh yes, this is not a Hanifah Mother, yes aampuuun..." Jeni sat down to regain consciousness. He looked at Hanifah who was still asleep. "Shory Han, I'm bothering you."

Jeni then went to the bathroom. Shower and pray at dawn and pray for Mother's Father. The finish of the prayer folds the face belonging to Hanifa put in its place.

He then went down to see Mr. Dosen had come home from the mosque using black skullcap and Jeni sarong thought it was his father.

"Dad.." no no no.

Jeni walked quickly down the stairs and hugged Mr. Lecturer. Jeni's closed on her mind right now is just her parents.

The smiling Lecturer rubbed Jeni's head gently. He was so excited that this boy really missed his father.

"You are ready, we leave now so that until morning school, you can go straight to school." said Mr. Lecturer.

Jeni stretches a smiley embrace of shame. "Sorry Om, Jeni thought. About Jeni's father."

"It's okay. It's even fun."

"Hani's not awake yet?" connect Mr. Lecturer.

"Not yet"

"Wait here first yes, Om take Aunt first, we look for your school address" Om said as he passed.

"Om" Jeni held back Mr. Lecturer. Mr. Dosen looked over.

"Finally thank you, Om" he said.

"Together son"

"It's ready Lin" Mr. Lecturer met Linda in the room seemed to be carrying a sibungsu, but had not yet woke up but deliberately carried will be invited and deliver Jeni.

"Already Mas. Come on."

"Where should Lin take?"

"That's Mas's little bag" Lecturer brought Rifka's sister Hanifah's kit bag. They walk out.

"Come on, son" Om leads Jeni.

"But... Jeni is still wearing Hanifah om clothes" Jeni pointed to the clothes she was wearing.

"It's okay, son, your uniform has been in the car, that's just wear it." Linda explained.

"Auntie.. please wake up Hanifa to pray, if she asks to say yes."

"Good Mom"

Jeni got into the car sitting next to Parman the driver. Then Mr. Lecturer, sitting in the middle with Linda, held Rifka.

The back seat of ART that used to babysit Rifka.
