The Substitute Mother for My Son

Imma only defended Usfi just because he did not want any dispute between neighbors, even he was more silent when he heard the neighbors gossiping about the fate of his son.

“What's wrong with replacing Meisya after all Usfi's wife Anwar too, especially during this time their relationship is fine!” ima said when defending his daughter, “if indeed Usfi intend bad or master the treasure Anwar, why did not he do, Usfi married not because of his property, but because of Maisha's own request too!”

After saying that, Ima left just like that, leaving curiosity in the hearts of mothers who gossip about her child.

He entered the house with a frown, while carrying groceries and, at the same time, Usfi came out of the room in neat clothes.

“Where are you going, Fi?”

“To home Mas Anwar, Bu!”

“What's there?”

“He said Fadil was sick, he asked for an orange that I often bought for him.” Usfi said as he walked out while carrying his car keys.

“Who told you?” Ima asked after Usfi got to the door.

“Tadi, Fadil himself who called me!”

Ima only took a deep breath after her son's departure, while Usfi calmly drove towards her husband's house.

Usfi buys citrus fruits in his usual subscription place, and after it is done he again meets Gani in that same place. The two of them just threw a glance at each other without saying a word. No one initiates to start a conversation or just say hello.

Gani knows what happened to Usfi who was so busy at Anwar's house during Maisha's death, but, instead, is accused of various charges. He wanted to defend the girl who had once been beloved in his heart. However, he did not know what his capacity as, in defense, until his intention was undo.

Seeing the girl leave in her car, making Gani realize, their relationship will be further because Usfi will be the real Lady Anwar from now on.

For several days now, the vegetable post was controlled by Joko, because neither Usfi nor Anwar appeared. All understood the state of grief that befell the family, while vegetables and orders could not wait.

Arriving at Anwar's house, again the man was not there, Noura who said that his father returned to the post in the city. Usfi did not want to think about the man who was considered to not appreciate it, so he was so calm when he heard the news from Noura.

Almost every night, Anwar makes Usfi cry out of sadness and disappointment, every night when his phone calls are ignored.

“This is the orange, Fad!” usfi said after arriving at Fadli's room.

The boy, who was in the second grade of Junior High, got up slowly from the bed and received the orange from Usfi. He immediately enjoyed it right then and there while smiling and after saying thank you.

During this time, Fadil was quite close to Usfi, because his father's second wife often drove or took him for a walk in his car, when they met at the time of leaving or going home from school.

“You've eaten and taken medicine?” usfi asked showing concern and, the teenager nodded.

Although in a state of illness, Usfi did not feel the need to worry about her husband's children because there were already Maisha's brother and also domestic assistants who, ready to do the orders of his employer. There are enough people who take care of the house, including taking care of the little Imad who is new fifth grade Elementary School.

However, Fadil is different, he restrains Usfi as the girl intends to leave. Why survive there if only one child is defending himself, Usfi thought.

“Tante home, yes, Fad! You are well at home, get plenty of rest and don't forget to take medicine, let's stay healthy again. You must be the pride of Mama, and be a successful child of the afterlife, make Mama smile and flow her rewards.”

“Tante is not at home here?” ask Fadli.

“Not be at home, Aunty does not want people to think bad if you see Aunt often here!”

“Tante quipped me?” tanya Noura suddenly appeared at the door of Fadil's room.

Seeing two children who now do not have a mother, made Usfi's heart touched. She shook her head.

“Yes already, go home there, who told you to come here?” noura ketus said.

“I asked Auntie for oranges! Don't accuse Auntie recklessly anymore, brother! There's no way Auntie's doing evil to Mamah!” fadil Sahut.

Hearing her younger brother's words, Noura simply fell silent.

Usfi did not want to prolong the problem, until he immediately left and promised Fadil to, return home the next day.

From that day on, Usfi often went back and forth to Anwar's house, to look at the children he continued, especially Fadil and Imad, he did not care about the gossip of people, as long as he was not like others said.

However, it was rare for her to meet her husband unless, by chance, they met on Saturday and Sunday alone, they could spend time, even with the children.

Usfi had started working back to his vegetable post, as well as Anwar who remained working in the city, so many reasons he said to still be able to get there. Even though Usfi had banned him, he still ignored his wife.

When he saw Usfi at home, he did not mind it, he actually felt lucky because he did not have to go to the house of Usfi parents whenever he needed warmth.

Just like that, after Anwar finished his hajat, in one of the guest rooms, Usfi asked him to stay home for an entire week.

“How long was it?” anwar asked while putting his clothes back on, while Usfi was still lying down by covering his entire body with a blanket.

“Why not? Ma'am Mai is no more, you should be the surrogate mother for them! Mas, must be able to play a double role, become a father and mother who accompany them at home.”

“Why aren't you the surrogate mother for my son, Fi? You, my wife too!”

“I don't want to come here directly, without permission first from Abah and Ambuk, like Mas used to ask permission to stay apart from them!”

“It should be so, yes, official very, anyway?”

“Lagian, yes Mas, I don't want to be told asala's cheers enter this house, I don't want to be accused again with charges of assault belonging to Mbak Mai! Mas see for yourself, right, how's Noura's attitude?”

“He's just a kid, don't take heart!”

“The heart cannot be taken carelessly, Mas, but the heart can die, hurt and injured, even the wound of the heart is more painful than the physical wound!”

“This you, really mean!”

“Mas Anwar also pinter the reason for going to work, anyway I do not want if Mas turned out to play with the woman, behind me!”

“You're weird, Fi! You, have lived polygamy, for three years it is not a moment, but you still do not want to be polygamous?”

“I don't want to, Mom! I'm not Ma'am, I've been living honey for three years, and I don't want to have honey! The point! Not everyone can be equal and I'm not as strong as him, Mas!”

"You can learn like him too!"

"Mas, the exam has its own portion, people like Mbak Mai, may be able to pass it, but I'd rather separate than you two! Frankly, I can't see you're the same girl! Where can I do worship without clairvoyance, free!"

After that, Usfi turned his back on Anwar and covered his head with a blanket. He looked upset, making Anwar understand, why Usfi never wanted to go into Maisha's room even though, his first wife was gone.

Suddenly the voice of Anwar's cell phone rang, Usfi had a glance when her husband received a call while stepping out of the room.

“Halo!” anwar said as he closed the door.
