Love of the Substitute Mother

Love of the Substitute Mother
The Extra Part 8


White flower decorations dominate the living room which will also witness the wedding of Tari and Riko this morning. After two weeks out of the hospital, Tari and Riko are getting married. Riko looks dashing with white envelopes and Tari who wears kebaya with matching colors.


Hamdallah's voice echoed in the room, after Riko loudly uttered the ijab in front of the ruler. Dance tears, shortly after ijab kabul. Even his shoulders still seemed to shake when he put the ring into Riko's ring finger. When Riko finished wearing the ring on the ring finger of Dance, Riko wiped the tears on the cheek of Dance. His view seemed very deep.


After kabul ijab now they are asked to take a photo together, the photographer who was hired by Aunt Delila directed Riko and Tari to pose. During the session photos, Riko seemed to smile freely, while Tari only smiled if the photographer asked her to smile. Dance more silence.


When the meal took place, Dari seemed to sit on the floor with a thick and soft carpet. Dance pulled her leg. And occasionally scold him. Riko who was taking food came directly and sat beside the foot of Tari. Riko moved Dance's legs to her lap.


" Sir, don't.."


" why? You're my wife now Dance."


" But it's not good to see people, sir?"


Riko sighed. And continue massaging slowly Dance legs. Oma Salma who saw that Riko did not take food took the initiative to ask Ratih Mbak to help bring food to Riko.


" Riko, Dance, let's eat first."


Ratih's mother asked Oma to put food near them. Dance immediately folded her legs.


" Sorry Oma. Dance is not polite."


" It's okay, honey. Here's just all of us. Don't you hesitate."


From the outside, Zaki ran towards them. And hit Oma Salma.


" Adduuhh.cicit Eyang. Don't speed it up."


Say Oma Salma while holding Zaki. Before long, Dania came and sat down beside Oma Salma.


" Dear, don't run."


Dania was sitting near Oma Salma. Dania looked happy at the moment, and all of that was clearly visible on her face. Dania saw a silent dance.


" Dance, you haven't eaten yet?"


Dance shook her head, then looked towards Riko.


" Ko, take Tari to the room. Dance cannot be sapped. Let him rest."


Oma who understood the gaze of Dance, finally opened her voice. Riko got up, then stuck out her hand to help Tari get up from her seat. Riko takes Tari to the room that used to be her room. Yes, their wedding ceremony was held at the residence of Riko's parents. And like her after marriage they will stay here, because of Mother Riko's request.


Riko opens her room and asks Tari to enter first. Dance looked around the room. The spacious room. This room is also decorated with beautiful flowers. Make Dance smile thinly. Riko took Tari to the edge of the bed. On the back of Tari's body to the head of the bed, and her legs were helped up by Riko. Even Riko propped up Dari's back with a pillow.


" Where? It's Comfortable? The AC needs me to go on a date?"


"Udah is enough."


Dari saw Riko sliding the chair on the dressing table, and sitting on the edge of the bed. Make Dance look at him in wonder.


" Don't you come out? There are many guests in front."


" No, I'm here, nemenin you."


" But I'm okay, sir."


Riko. Then in the eyes of Dance.


" Dance, now it's our husband and wife. Have you ever heard a wife call her husband Father. I am your husband. You can call me with a sweeter call."


" Sweet call? meaning?"


" Yes you can call me Honey, baby, darling or Love. Or what's better for it."


" Aapaaaaa?????"


" why? What do you want to call me? Oh, dear yes? Or baby?"


" No.no.."


" Loh, why?"


" Now, don't be weird."


As they were arguing, the sound of knocking on the door made them stare towards the door.


" What's Lo?"


Riko said as she saw Reyhan and Pram at the door. Both of Riko's cousins instantly attract Riko.


" Get out Lo, it's still noon in the room. Remember Lo's wife can't be tired."


Dania and Lena who were near them just laughed. Then the two friends of the Dance entered while carrying a tray containing food.


" Tar, eat first. Oma is worried about you. That's why we're told to take this food to the room."


Say Dania while putting the tray on the nightstand. Lena did the same. The other tray contains small meals.


" Thank you, Lena."


Dance said as she shed her tears. Dania wiped the tears that fell on the cheek of Tari.


" Don't cry, you cry a lot. Your son will be a crybaby."


Dance looked towards Dania and Lena.


" You..."


" Yes Dance. We knew. At first I was angry with Riko, even I had a chance to slap him. But I'm happy, we're finally brothers."


Dancing down.


" Is it possible that I can survive like you, Dan?"


Dania caresses the back of Dance. And try to give her support.


" Recide what is, how in the future, we leave everything to the owner of life. Hm.."


Dance nodded. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the show was over. Two housekeepers walked into the room and brought Dari dishes. Tati hasn't been out of room since noon. Not because he did not appreciate the guests and the event, but Riko and her Mother-in-law were forbidding. For fear of Dance fatigue and fatal for her content.


Dance took off the kebaya that was attached to her body. And cleaned up after the two housekeepers had passed from her room. Dance out of the bathroom using only the bathrobe. The knock on the door made Dari ask.


" Dance, this is Mother, dear."


Dance immediately opened the door of her room. Her mother-in-law appeared at the door and carried a paper bag in her hand.


" Can Mother come in?"


Dari nodded, then opened the door of her room to make it easier for her mother-in-law to enter.


" Dear, here are some dresses you can wear. Mother does not know what your taste is like. Hope you like it."


" Thank you, Auntie. "


Kening Aunt Delila wrinkled. Hearing Dance still called her Aunt.


" Mother, Honey. Now you call her Mother. And Dad. Don't want to hear you call him Aunt or Om again. Okay sweetheart? Now Mother comes out first."


Dance closed the door to her room. In his heart always grateful to have a mother-in-law who loved him very much.Even from the beginning met him, the treatment of his mother-in-law never changed.
