A Mother's To Your Child
SIUA 3 Decision

Just a Mom For Your Son (3)

"Where's dad?" Faisal could not guess where the father was because he only saw a white wall. Rama was in the hallway to the toilet.

"Dad's in dad's friend's office."

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Towards the Maghrib, Salma and Faisal returned home. Apparently, Rama has not come home because his car does not exist.

Salma and Faisal went straight to the kitchen to clean up the food they bought outside.

When it was time for dinner, Rama did not come home. Finally, the two ate without waiting for Rama. Salma himself did not intend to call Rama, a custom he would do if Rama had not come home at dinner time. However, for me this and so on it seems like he will not do it.

Salma is sure, Rama is still with the Goddess. Recalling the events of yesterday and yesterday afternoon, Salma again felt a pain in his heart.

"Bun, so sleep with Ical right?," asked Faisal as Salma carried the storybook off the bookshelf.

"Dear dear, from today Mother will always accompany Ical to sleep." Salma replied smiling as she sat on the bed and leaned her back against the headboard.

Salma began to read the story. Make expressions according to the story. His voice changes according to the character he is reading.

Salma smiled. " Hopefully later when Mother is not around, Mother Goddess can do whatever Ical wants." Salma rubbed the head of Faisal who had fallen asleep with affection. A drop of her tears flowed. It felt claustrophobic to remember he was leaving Faisal.

Salma's hand turned on her flat stomach. "Darling, I'm sorry Mother didn't tell Dad where you were. Let him know for himself." The tears flowed again without being able to stand.

Salma has decided. He will see the progress of his marriage. If there is no change, he will demand divorce if the child is born.

"O Allah, forgive the servant. I know you hate divorce. But, I cannot sacrifice my time to be with him for life. He only loved his ex-wife. I was married to just be a mother to her child."

The flashback

After an accidental meeting at the restaurant, Salma immediately slid into the house of one of his friends. Permission was already he cantongi, so he calmly brought Faisal along with him.

Salma looked at the fish in the pond. Her tears were again shed. The marriage that he thought would make him happy. It now appears to have a wound.

"What's the matter?" Hasya, who saw his best friend crying, felt pain when he hadn't heard any stories.

Salma hugged Hasya tightly and cried when Hasya was sitting next to her.

"Cry until you feel calm. After that, let's tell you what really happened."Salma nodded while still hugging Hasya.

Hasya just rubbed Salma's back. Grateful earlier Gilang had come home from his grandmother so that he could invite Faisal to play. So Salma can blow it all away.

" I feel like a b0d0h girl, yes."

Salma began to tell stories after she was content to cry in the arms of her best friend.

"Why?,"

" I thought, Mas Rama has the same feeling as me. It turns out that Insi's words were true, Rama married me only for the sake of Ical."

Insi was one of Salma's best friends as well. He had actually said that it seemed like Rama was marrying Salma because of Faisal.

Not the origin of speaking, but Insi began to relate the beginning of their meeting that occurred because Salma was a kindergarten teacher at Faisal school.

Their togetherness was because Faisal always asked for Salma's company. Faisal who was comfortable with Salma made Rama finally decided to marry Salma.

Moreover, Insi actually once caught Rama who said to marry Salma because of Faisal. He wanted to give Faisal happiness by giving the family a whole. However, for this matter, Insi covered it up from Salma. He did not want Salma to be hurt.

But, Insi always reminds Salma of the possibility that Rama has not loved her. But, Salma is convinced that love will come with time.

" I'm not sure I can make Mas Rama love me now, Shay. More than a year we married it turns out he said he still loves the Goddess. One year, that's a long time.hiks hyks." Salma told me with tears.

" He told you directly?" Hasya gave Salma a tissue.

"I wanted to tell you about my pregnancy. But, I haven't been able to tell him, I even know this fact. Pain Yes.." Salma pressed her chest.

Hasya sighed. "So, your husband doesn't know yet?"

Salma shook her head.

"You don't mean to tell me about your pregnancy?,"

"Let him know for himself."

"You sure you won't regret it? It's possible that this pregnancy will make your husband wither."

"I doubt. From the beginning of marriage, she asked to delay my pregnancy. He said he wasn't ready to have another child."

"So, this pregnancy without Rama's permission?,"

"Of course not. How dare I break my husband's orders, Shay. I dare to take off KB after persuading him. Finally, he collapsed and said after a year I could take it off. And it turns out that God immediately granted my request to have a baby."

Hasya quiet. He felt sorry for his best friend's wedding trip.

"So, what's your decision?,"

"I'll ask for a divorce after this child is born. I also want to be happy with the person who can love me." Salma's tears broke again. Rama never loved her.

"Rethink your decision. Pray istikharah, ask God for guidance. Don't let you regret it." Then he hugged his friend.

Flashback end

Rama who came home a little late went straight to his room. However, the room is empty. There is no Salma.

Rama was astonished because Salma was not there. Not only that, even Salma usually awaits his arrival in the living room. In fact, the messages and calls that he always got when he was late coming home were not there at all.

Curious, he walked towards Sanga Anak's room. Maybe Salma slept there. But the door is locked from the inside.

"What's wrong with Salma?" muttered Rama.

Not wanting to disturb the sleep of his wife and child, Rama immediately searched for a spare key that is usually in the drawer. But he didn't get it at all.

With a shunt step, he returned to his room. Start trying to sleep.

"Is he angry? It's not usually that he acts like this." Rama took a breath.

Even when he called at the restaurant, only Faisal spoke to him. Salma just said a closing greeting and said nothing more.

...******...

"Come, Ical eat a lot of ya" Salma again put breakfast Faisal request.

"Yes, Mother."

Rama was silent. His wife acted differently according to him.

"Darling, I searched Faisal's spare room key yesterday, but in an ordinary place there wasn't. Did you move it?"

"Yes, the spare key I hold." answered Salma flatly. She knew her husband's habits would move her back to their room if Salma slept in Faisal's room.

So, Salma anticipated by taking all those spare keys.

"Why?"
