Just take him for you
Welcome to the Space Sir

"What kind of healthy family environment do you mean? We've been fine all along, you're the one who's mostly demanding" Armand said without feeling guilty.

"Yes, you were never satisfied, if so the wife should be grateful for what the husband gave," added Ms. Armand. Tania seemed to smile with satisfaction seeing Salma being scouted by her husband and mother-in-law.

"Westernly if a husband has 50k and he gives to his wife and child 5k, while the rest he gives to other women, do I also have to accept with sincerity mom?" Salma looked tiredly at her mother-in-law.

He knows that everything has passed and it is free to discuss again, but the truth must be spoken. He does not want people out there to think of him as a materialistic woman and always care about spending husband's money, as Armand and his mother always hum in the neighborhood where they live.

"Ti-"

"Salma, it's night. You're tired of being out of town. Tell your guests to come home soon." Not yet had Armand defend himself, Bimo came out of the room with a rogue face.

The three unexpected guests went home dissatisfied.

"Sleep, you have to rest a lot. Children let Mba take care of." Tia rubbed her shoulders as she fed the chicken soup to Cakra and Candra alternately.

"Ga nothing, Mba. After this I immediately slept with the children," Salma refused. For him it is far better to spend time with his two children, than to be alone in a room contemplating fate and remembering his friendship with Armand.

A few days after that, in the morning when he was only three with Cakra and Candra in the house, a message from Mr. Angkasa entered on his phone.

'Good morning, Orchid of the Moon. My plane's in two hours until, if you don't mind, may I have your time to show you a nice lunch spot in your town?'

Salma did not reply, looking at the clock on the wall. The message came in an hour ago and he's just reading it now.

"Duuuhh, why should it be now anyway? Where to send the message already at the airport, how to refuse." Salma rushed to tidy up the toys of her two twin boys scattered on the floor, as her hands pressed down on Bimo and Tia's numbers.

Salma grew even more panicked when Bimo and Tia could not go straight back home, as there was still work they had to finish. Salma looked at her two children who were playing, she was confused where she had to leave her two children.

"Mamaa." Cakra approached him limping, carrying a plastic ball and giving it to Salma.

"Uluuhh, Mama's son. Most likely if you woo." Salma grabbed the tiny body, then hugged and kissed her fat cheeks.

Salma arrived at the airport, thirty minutes later than the time he had agreed with the famous Executive Director. With the two children in the rear and front sling, Salma ran small towards the airport's arrival door. His breath was wheezing with his neck extended, looking for a tall man with a deep eye.

"Good day, Mr. Space. Sorry I'm late." Salma bowed her body with nearly exhausted breath. Space flabbergasted in disbelief saw Salma carrying two twins in one sling at a time.

"Who are you here with?" ask Angkasa still gawking.

"Three of us. The kids were not there to look after, so I had to take them. I'm so sorry if you interrupted my bi--"

"Ow ain't nothing, Salma. I am the one who is not good with you. Why didn't you tell me you were looking after the kids? I'm troubling you like this."

"It's okay, sir. It is my duty as the host of this city. What do you want to eat? I would recommend something good in this city."

"Wait a minute. I helped carry one yes, I can't bear to see you." Space extended its hand to Candra who was at the back of Salma.

"Your way." Space goes ahead of Salma. The man looked lithe holding Candra with one hand while the other hand pushed the suitcase.

"What are you here for?" angkasa asked as they were about to exit the airport building.

"Taxi online" Salma said. Angkasa shook his head again, he felt really bad already bothering Salma.

"You wait here" Space said. He approached an airport officer and whispered. The attendant pointed to a glass door, Angkasa immediately went in there with Candra still in her arms. Before long, Space came out with a smile.

"Where's the father from?"

"Hire a car" Angkasa said as he pointed at a large and long car approaching them. Salma was again made to gawk as the door of the luxury car shifted to the side. The interior is luxurious, already equipped with two baby car seats on the back.

"Your only child put it there," said Angkasa while sitting Candra in one of the baby seats.

Angkasa seemed to laugh a lot and occasionally teased Candra and Cakra while on the way.

"Oh yes if you have twins. You're not worried, you have two kids?"

"The name is windfall, you could say bothered. How many son's father? It's big, huh?" ask Salma. The smile on the face of Space instantly dimmed.

"I don't have any children yet" he said, returning to play with the twins.

"Ow." Salma began to feel awkward for choosing the wrong topic of conversation.

"When my wife was eight months pregnant, we had an accident and she was bleeding heavily. His and our baby-to-be didn't survive." Space Eyes stared at the twins wistfully.

"Sorry," great-grandson Salma. In his heart he cursed his stupidity. How could he forget that two friends in Jakarta had said something similar.

"It's okay, your question is natural. After all, it's been a long time, I've been sincere with their departure." Space forced his smile. He just didn't want Salma to feel bad about him.

"Okee, what are you going to eat with me this afternoon?" The space immediately twisted the topic.

"Mmm, will you have some seafood?"

"Who is afraid." Space widened his smile, "Horeee, we want to eat fish." Space raised the little hands of the twins as if they were cheering.

Salma takes Angkasa to a seafood restaurant whose atmosphere is still natural. Angkasa chose a place to eat in a saung located on the edge of the pool.

"Salma?" From the opposite direction of the saung, the voice he had most avoided, was heard calling his name.
