Let the Heart Choose
Mother Why?

He wiped away her tears and tried to stop her. She didn't want her two children to see this. Especially Alif. He is very sensitive to all the changes of his mother.

He scratched near his two slumbering children, then kissed the forehead and hands of his two children, trying to find a trace of the strength that was still left in him.

"Thank you son, even though you're not your biological son but you're very good" said Nada monologue while taking care of Alif's head.

"The promise will always be by your side and will not let anyone take away your happiness" said Nada, holding Isak.

Tone's body was too tired, his soul was very slumped in addition to his cries that made all his energy drained.

She splashed her body between her two children and soon Nada fell asleep in her tears. He still heard his slow stuffing. Then vanished.

At 17:00 pm, Nada woke up with swollen eyes and a tired body. He threw a glance at the wall clock.

It was late afternoon, and he just woke up. If he had woken up and apologized to his mother-in-law, not at this time.

She woke her children one by one, after the two woke up she immediately carried them into the bathroom.

As he exited the room, it appeared that Laras was standing in the kitchen. Maybe he was hungry, but Nada didn't wake up right away, so he cooked instant noodles.

Nada did not care about it all, she was already very sick of all this. And she could no longer play the role of a good-natured fairy.

With painstaking Tada bathed his two children, occasionally a cheerful sound from the bathroom. Today Alif's mood is very good, usually he is very quiet. But not at this moment, his crisp laughter echoed throughout the corner of the house.

"When you shower, take a shower. Noisy anyway," said Laras sewot.

Instantly Nada put her index finger on her lips and looked at her two children. He signaled that his grandmother was angry and that they should be quiet right now.

After finishing the bath, Nada immediately went back into the room and took care of her two children. And the thing he likes the most is, curling his frizzy hair Zaskia's.

It didn't take long for Andra to open the door, her face looking very anxious with a dull breath. It seems he just ran away.

He circulated a look looking for the figure he was currently worried about right, but nil. All he met was the mother who had been ruining his mood lately.

Andra walked into the house and passed her mother just like that, she was still very emotional with Laras and her selfish attitude.

Andra opened the door of the room, looking at her children who were studying with Nada beside her. Andra walked in while saying his greetings, his two children scattered to hug the father.

Andra kissed her son's forehead one by one, she was more pleased when she saw Nada looking shabby. His clothes were still the same one he had worn this morning, which meant that he had not washed his body.

His face looked messy with tears drying on the lower cheeks, eyes were also swollen.

"Why you?" ask Andra.

"Mother is sick well, just finished eating shaved ice in the park. But Alif was giving the mother medicine," Orceh Alih told me everything.

Andra just stared at his wife, as usual he was only able to comfort his wife without being able to realize his wishes.

"Thank you Alif," said Nada showing off her shady smile.

Tone just nodded and got up from his seat, he grabbed the towel hanging behind the door and exited the room.

Andra and her children stayed in the room, out of curiosity she tried to ask with her son.

"Mother why?" ask Andra.

"I don't know, waking up is like that. It must be because of Oma," said Alif plain.

Yes it was, no matter how much Tone covered his sorrow. Alif still knew that his mother was sad, and this view he had often encountered.

After her Grandma nagged, her Mother always cried in loneliness. Usually when his mother accompanied his sleep, Alif had not really fallen asleep.that is where he saw his mother was very sad.

"Well, we're learning again" Andra said.

Not finished learning Alif's stomach rumbling, until it sounded in Andra's ear. Until they finally looked at each other.

"Alif hasn't eaten yet?" ask Andra.

"Not yet, coming home from the park we immediately sleep. Just keep waking up. Take a bath and learn" said Alif while playing his finger like counting his activities since last afternoon.

Andra just smiled a little at the manner of her son,

"Mother hasn't eaten yet?" ask Andra.

"Looks Not Well," said Alif innocently.

"Yaudah, let's cook," asked Andra who immediately changed clothes.

For a moment Alif stared doubtfully at his father, usually only his mother cooked. Alif is not sure if his father can cook good cuisine.

Staring at Alif who was looking at him with a strange look made Andra's stomach tingle. It seemed that her talent was starting to be underestimated with her son.

"So you don't believe me?" andra asked, raising her eyebrows.

Instead of fixedly staring at his father in doubt, he slightly nodded his head softly.

"We cook fried rice, guaranteed better than the mother's cooking," said Andra confidently.

Andra immediately stepped outside the room, after changing into clothes. While Alif hesitantly followed in his father's footsteps, after Zaskia who crawled behind Alif.

They've been in the kitchen, and always have been. Zaskia had already started to slash the cupboard, one by one the pot she took out.

Alif and Andra were busy dividing the tasks. Alif weed the onion while Andra sliced the onion that has been roasted and chili.

Do not forget they give complementary materials such as mustard, because the tone is quite creative. They can take fresh vegetables behind the house, such as mustard and chives.

SERIATE....
