Ballad First Wife
My Mother is Not Bad

Alan's awake. He blinked his eyes, moving his head to look to the side. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the place beside him was already empty. Alan got up and sat down. He remembered last night's incident. Alan was twisting his hair violently.

Damnit damnit! Why can't I hold back. Hopefully she doesn't rush to get pregnant.I'd better split the house. Stay away from him so that this incident does not happen again.

Alan's getting out of bed. He went to the bathroom to clean himself up. Coming out of the bathroom, Alan heard the sound of Adzan. He immediately prepared to perform prayers. His eyes looked around the room.

Where's she?

With no intention of looking for Anita, Alan exits his room. The place he went to was the family mushola. Alan's steps came to a halt as he saw the figure of a woman wearing a mukena sitting in prayer fervently. Slowly Alan approached. She faintly heard sobs.

Apparently he's here.

Alan's shuffling.

Anita, who was praying, felt that someone was approaching. He hastily ended his prayer and shrank the tears that drenched his cheeks. Anita.

"Ma." He smiled as he saw Bu Riya sitting beside him while preparing her prayer equipment.

"New bride. Why did you wake up so early? Where's your husband?" asked Bu Riya while putting on a meaningful smile.

"Mm Brother Alan is not awake yet, Ma."

"Surely exhausted." Reply Bu Riya glanced at Anita. Anita replied with a bitter smile.

If only you knew how rude your son was.

"Yes already. We pray alone!" take Bu Riya while advancing and stand in the priest's place. Anita stood behind him preparing to become a mum.

While Alan, when he found out there was Anita in his home mosque, undo his intention to pray at that place. He twisted his body to return to his room before his mother arrived so as not to see him. Alan decided to perform the morning prayers in his room. By ourselves.

At the house of Salman.

Salman took his two sons to pray at the mosque not far from his home. While Fira performs prayers alone at home. When finished, Fira immediately struggled in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.This time he was enthusiastic about making breakfast Ardi's favorite as a new resident in their small family. Last night he asked Salman what Ardi's favorite food was. Fira hopes, Ardi will be happy when he knows his favorite food that became the breakfast menu this morning.

"Assynnya!" The voices of Salman and his two children arrived from the mosque.

"Waalaikumsalam." replied Fira. Salman immediately approached Fira. He hugged Fira from behind and kissed her on the head.

He did not realize that Ardi saw him do that with a face that he did not like.

"Pa!" ardi's exclaim made Salman startled and immediately released the winding of his hand on Fira's waist.

"Yes dear." Salman is approaching Ardi.

"Ardi wants a drink." Ardi replied.

Fira who heard that immediately took a glass, filled it with water and gave it to Ardi.

"This is dear." said Fira while smiling.

Unexpectedly, Ardi did not receive the glass he offered.

"Pa, Ardi wants warm milk" Ardi said without caring about Fira.

Salman who saw Ardi's bad behavior, intended to reprimand him but Fira signaled with a headband.

Fira returned the glass containing the drink. He made warm milk for Ardi. Fira put the milk on the table in front of Ardi speechlessly. He returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

"Drink!" salman's order was firm. His eyes stared hard at Ardi.

Irritatedly Ardi took the glass filled with milk and sipped it a little. He put the glass on the table.

"It's full." Ardi ran away leaving Salman agape in disbelief at his attitude.

"He?!" Salman pointed at Ardi while looking at Fira.

"Patience, Mas. Didn't Mas Salman himself say that we should slowly tell Ardi. Hm.' Gita stroked Salman's arm to calm her husband.

'You all right?" Salman held Fira's hand.

Fira shakes. "I can understand his attitude, Mommy."

"Thank you dear." Salman kissed Fira and hugged her.

Ardi closed the room door loudly making Ruan who was wearing a uniform shocked.

"Astaghfirullah." exclaimed Ryan.

Ardi doesn't care about Ryan. He stepped up and immediately threw his body on the bed with a bowed position.

"Why you?" Ryan approached while tidying up his clothes.

"You didn't change clothes? Isn't today papa Salman going to enroll you in school?"

"He's not your father! Don't call him papa!" yelled Ardi while getting up and staring sharply full of anger towards Ryan.

"But he's my papa now." Ryan stuttered.

"He's not your father!" Ardi got up and immediately hit Ryan's body. Ryan was stricken with Ardi on top of his body clutching his neck crumb.

"You why?!" Ruan shouted furiously while holding Ardi's hand.

"You're evil! Your mother took my papa. Making my papa leave my mama. YOU'RE EVIL!!!" Ardi emotions. He threw his hand against Ryan's face. Ruan could not dodge because Ardi was occupying his body.

After getting hit, Ryan retaliated by pushing Ardi's chest. Ardi. Ryan sat down on his body. His right hand gripped Ardi's shirt crate while his left pliers clenched upwards ready to hit. Ardi was already preparing to cover his face with both hands crossed.

"I'm not gonna hit you. Ma'am Guru said, we must not repay evil with evil either." Ryan held his hand in the air. His hand that gripped the collar of Ardi clothes he released while throwing Ardi's body.

"My mother is not a bad person. She's the best mother." Ryan said, fixing her clothes.

Ardi sat down while sobbing. Ryan looked at her with pity.

Ryan sat down next to Ardi.

"My father also left me and my mother" said Ryan slowly. Ardi looked back, looking at Ryan in disbelief.

"My father is remarried." replied Ryan, looking down.

"In the past, I used to see my bunda cry every time I finished praying. I'm so sorry. I know you must also feel sorry to see your mama sad right?"

Ardi nodded.

"I was also angry with the woman who took my father, but my mother said I should not be angry. Mother said it's all fate."

Ardi was still crying. Ryan embraced. "My mother is not a bad person. He loves you too. Just look at it later."

"You okay if your mother loves me?" Ardi asked slowly.

Ryan shook his head. "I don't have a father and now there's papa Salman. You're a long way from your mama, but there's my mama. We're the same, right?" Ryan smiled and then grimaced because his cheek hit Ardi was sore when he smiled.

"It hurts? Sorry." Ardi was sorry for his actions.

"I'm a man" said Ryan proudly followed by a smile on his tiny, handsome face. Ardi finally laughed at Ryan's rendition.

In front of their bedroom door, Fira and Salman breathed a sigh of relief. At first they were worried when they heard Ardi's cry saying that Fira was evil.

The flashback

Salman hugged Fira. He felt happy when Fira did not take care of Ardi's actions.

"Mas, already. Lepassin! I want to continue cooking." Fira tries to unravel Salman's embrace.

"Just take a moment." Salman instead pulled Fira's body until their body was not spaced even a strand of hair.

"Buck, uh. Lepassin! It'll be noon." Fira's voice was blocked by Salman's heavy body.

"Hmmm it smells so good. I like you so much." Salman sniffed Fita's neck and occasionally dipped it to leave a reddish mark. Fira sighed to make Salman more excited. His lips began to rise towards the fira wakah in search of his favorite harbor. As Salman's lips began to touch Fira's lips, they were startled by Ardi's screams.

"Aww." Salman screamed in pain as Fira bit her lip.

"Sorry! I'm appalled. Ardid. Ardi." Fira pushed Salman's chest in dismay.

Salman let go of his embrace. Hurry up, he and Fira hit Ryan's room. As they were about to enter, Ryan hung up his fist and told him he would not hit Ardi back.

Finally they were silent in front of the room listening to the conversation of the two children.

Fira shut her mouth and her eyes glazed over to see how Ryan defended her.

"Your son is great." bissim Salman.

Fira just nodded.

Flasback off

"We leave them! Ryan can handle it. " Salman held Fira's hand out of Ryan's room.

"I'll finish cooking. I'd better tell them to get ready for breakfast."

Salman nodded. He steals a kiss on Fira's lips before Fira moves from where she stands.

"Ih base." Fira scolded with a smile.!
