Married a Single Mother
MSM 35'S

That night, Raffael and Jelita slept together soundly. Especially between the two of them there is a small boy figure who also fell asleep in his dreams. Raffael's hands hugged Ethan whose sleep leaned more towards him. While Jelita's position is a bit pulled over, because last night she still felt awkward because she was not used to being in one bed with a man.

The next day, Ethan wakes up while Raffael and Jelita are asleep. The boy blinked his eyes staring at the surroundings that looked very foreign. Then look to the left side where the mother is still sleeping with her back. Then he turned to the side where Raffael's tone was still closing his eyes.

Ethan is really confused. Why Raffael slept with him. All he knew was that there was only his mother when he had just opened his eyes.

“Om Affa!” Ethan stabbed Raffael in the cheek to wake the man up.

While Raffael who felt his sleep was disturbed by the presence of a small hand that rioted on his face, slowly the man blinked his eyes, even though last night Raffael slept the last. More precisely it is very difficult to close his eyes because he felt something turbulent in his body when he first slept in bed with women. but at this time he saw Ethan's funny face with my eyes still typical wake up, inevitably he also woke up.

“Good morning son Dad!” greet Raffael while kissing the puffed cheek of Ethan.

Ethan seemed confused by Raffael's sentence just now, because he had never even heard the word Father. Is that Dad. Who is Dad. What is his figure. Raffael who understands Ethan's confusion, he immediately invites Ethan to wake up and let Jelita sleep. Time is also morning.

Raffael takes Ethan to the balcony of the hotel room. He wanted to tell the boy to change his call. Because once he is legally Jelita's husband, Raffael will automatically become Ethan's father. Even though he is connected, Raffael will love him like his own son.

“Ethan, from now on call Om Affa Dad! Can?”

Raffael laughs furiously at Ethan's expression that still does not understand as much as Raffael's. But he is not desperate. He continues to lead Ethan to say the word “Dad” repeatedly. Like a real father, Raffael continues to teach his son to call him Father. And forbid him to call Om again.

Jelita who has been awake since when, the woman peeked at her husband's togetherness with Ethan on the balcony. Even Ethan has started to be able to call Raffael as father. And that made Raffael cheer. Jelita was also happy to see the togetherness of two different men of that generation.

“You're up?” raffael asked somewhat wrongly because he saw Jelita already standing in the doorway.

“Already, Mas. Ethan, let's take a shower, honey!”

“Mother... ethan cekalang has father Om Affa.” Ethan approached his mother with happy eyes.

“Iya, darling. From now on Ethan has to call Om Affa, Dad. Understand?”

Ethan answered with a nod of his head. Even the boy looked very happy, but understood nothing. Raffael is happy too. Then he let his wife take Ethan in to bathe him.

After finishing breakfast, Raffael immediately took Jelita to Arvin's house. Because according to yesterday's agreement. The man will take Jelita to his mother's house. At least he will also talk about Jelita's life all this time.

A few moments later Raffael's car arrived at Arvin's house. The man seemed to have been waiting for Jelita's arrival since then they immediately went to Jelita's parents' house which was not too far from Arvin's house.

On the way, Jelita looked nervous. He was very afraid to imagine how his mother would react when she met him again, considering that the woman who had given birth to him used to look angry after being considered the cause of the death of the father.

Jelita just nodded, although the nervous feeling was still lingering in her heart.

Moments later Raffael's car stopped in front of a modest house. The house is still the same as the last time Jelita left. There is a sense that cannot be described in Jelita when remembering her childhood in the house.

“Come!” Raffael invites Jelita to come out. While Ethan he brought it into his trunk.

Arvin who first walked towards the house that seemed closed it. all this time as far as Ervin, his brother-in-law was only living alone. Because Jelita has no brothers.

“Om, I'm scared!” lirih Jelita is standing right behind Arvin.

“Quiet! Everything will be fine.” said Arvin while gently rubbing his nephew's back.

Raffael again disturbed to see the attitude of Om from his wife as if doing beyond the attitude of an Om towards his nephew. But he tried to be ordinary anyway after this he would take Jelita away.

Arvin knocked on the door a few times. Soon the door opened with a middle-aged woman who looked thinner than Jelita had seen last time.

“Arvin? What was? Tumben once?” ask Bu Sukma, Jelita's mother.

The woman was still unaware of the arrival of her sister-in-law who was not alone.

“Mabk Sukma how are you? I'm sorry, I never came here. And I'm here because there's someone who wants to meet Mbak.” Arvin replied and then gave a little distance so that Bu Sukma could see Jelita who had been standing behind his back.

The two eyes meet each other. Even the two of them were both silent with eyes that had already condensed.
