I'm Single Mom
ASM 32

" Likes?" Ask Akmal.

I just nodded happily. I hugged Akmal tightly, as a sign of gratitude.

But the meaning of my embrace was misinterpreted by Akmal, it turns out that I woke up a sleeping lion.

He returned my embrace tightly, even my lips were now the target of Akmal's fondling.

Who would have thought from a close embrace now the relationship continues the relationship husband and wife. Luckily Akmal locked the door.

After a long time and satisfied, we finally fell weak.

" Now we're not afraid to look at El." Akmal whispers in my ears.

I pinched Akmal's waist pretty hard.

" We can be free now, baby...."

It was late in the afternoon, I was preparing food in my new kitchen.

I was surprised to see someone doing something in my kitchen. Who her? Why is it here? Bad thoughts started playing around in my head.

" Who are you?"

He was surprised to hear my question. It seemed like he was too focused on cooking, so did not hear my footsteps.

" Eh, Salsabila's mom?" His smile bared the white row of his teeth.

I scrunched my forehead, how could he know my name?

Not yet out of my shock, suddenly my shoulders were patted softly from behind.

" Hey..." Akmal surprised me.

" Ih what the hell? I'm being serious, baby." I replied sulking.

"What a wonder, knowing that's our new maid. Veni. Young, he was only twenty years old. Her mother was single parent, so she became the backbone of her family." Akmal again.

Oh. I'm just a mangosteen. In the depths of the heart there is jealousy, fear only if Akmal will be fascinated or defiantly towards the girl.

Akmal pulled my hand to the back porch, again I was fascinated by its beauty.

" Who is going to go?" I asked Akmal.

" His exchange, I asked for help, he happened to be able to. So deh." Akmal said casually.

*

We haven't lived in this comfortable house for nearly six months. This morning I want to prepare Akmal clothes, the plan is he will go out of town for five days.

Yuck... Yuck... Suddenly my stomach felt nauseous. Dizziness whack my body. My eyes began to twitch, what happened to me?

" Mother why?" El surprised.

I was unable to answer El's question, my hands continued to massage my forehead hoping that the dizziness would soon disappear.

Having no response from me, El ran out of the room.

I tried to walk against the wall of the room. I finally got to bed.

The door opens, there's Akmal's panicked face there. " What's wrong, honey?"

" Nausea." Answer's short.

" We're doctors, right?"

" No need, maybe I just catch a cold."

" Are you pregnant?"

When I look at Akmal, Akmal reminds me of nine years ago when I was pregnant with El.

" It could be." Answer me drown. It's not that I refuse sustenance, it's just that I'm not ready to have a second child.

Aki is still enjoying her time with Akmal. Kupokir enough just El our baby. In fact, Allah has placed a life in my womb again.

" Yes, you're getting ready to see the doctor I'm dropping off. I can't leave you if you're not well." A little up Akmal's tone.

With a limp body, I tried to change clothes even better.

" El, you're the same granny at home, yeah, mama's gonna go for a second." I say goodbye to El.

" Okay, mother." El is still playing with his dolls.

I also did not forget to say goodbye to Veni and Nek Aminah.

After we finished registering we sat on the queue bench.

" Bun, it's good to finally have El to have a sister." Akmal opened a conversation between us.

I didn't respond to Akmal's words, even now I'm covering my face. I can't stand to lift my face. Everything I saw felt spinning.

Not getting a response from me, Akmal's hand moved to my neck. He massaged my head up to my neck, a little comforting to me.

Our name has been called by the doctor, I did a pregnancy test using a testpack and the results were positive I was pregnant, it was two months. My blood pressure was so low that the doctor gave me some medicine and some vitamins. "Ah. Why forget the date of menstruation?" I complained to myself.

*

After slightly improving Akmal finally left the city. I'm driving to the front door.

" Don't get tired, get plenty of rest." Akmal's message to me.

" Yes, yeah. Take care of his heart. Just make me and the kids not to be divided."

Akmal laughed at my words. His hand rubbed my head.

Akmal left me along with the roar of the car away.

I closed the door, and would rest in the room to make my body more fit.

*

My second pregnancy disrupted all my activities. I was always nauseous and dizzy to make El neglected.

I can not accompany El to play or just accompany him to make pr.

Tok.dok...

" S..." Nek Aminah called me.

" Get in the granny." Reply weak.

The face of Grandma appeared behind the door.

" Some one's nyariin."

" Who's grandma?"

" The middle-aged woman who claims to be Akmal's mother."

The deg! My heart stopped beating. In these circumstances, I had to deal with Akmal's mother. I feel something is wrong. Inevitably I also finally met his mother Akmal as a tribute that she was my mother-in-law.

The middle-aged woman stood looking at every corner of the house we occupied. My steps are getting closer.

" Mommy Assalamu'alaikum." I reached out to my mother-in-law.

He let my hand float in the air.

He looked at me snidely full of arrogance.

" Mother alone? Please sit down mom, I'll have a drink for a minute." I'm still being friendly.

" There's no need to bother, I don't want to touch the food from the hands of a dirty woman like you who has dared to make Akmal forget his own birth mother."

Akmal's mother's words again hurt my heart.

God made me ready to face my mother-in-law.

" Please stay away from Akmal, Akmal is inappropriate for a woman like you who is immoral and uneducated." Bemtak my mother-in-law in a loud voice.

The words just now that came out of my mother-in-law's mouth made my nausea even more so.

Without saying goodbye I staggered back and vomited in the sink.

" Mom's okay? Should I tell Mr. Akmal." Veni seemed worried about my situation.

" No need, ven. Power's fine." I don't want to make Akmal worry about my situation. And I want him to stay focused until his work is done on the agreed schedule.

After feeling better, I went back to see my mother-in-law, she was sitting on the living room couch.

When I came, he looked back at me from head to toe. And now his gaze is right on my stomach. He stared at my perit without blinking, as if to confirm something.

" Sir..." I tried to open the conversation but I was silent as he put his index finger right over his lips.

" Shhhh. Are you pregnant?"

I paused for a moment, confused as to what to say. Honest or lying.

" Answer!" Snapped mom.

It was sad to find the unfriendly attitude of the mother-in-law.
