Mother to My Children
Chapter 37

"Fir, really om-om was your husband?" roni asked still in disbelief. Although he did not know Syafira very closely, but he knew what Syafira was like. He could not have aspired to marry young at the age of even 20 years.

Now they are both in a cafe waiting for another friend to come.

"Yes Ron, why?" syafira answered without wanting to cover up her marriage. Although forced, but his marriage with Bara is not a disgrace that must be covered up.

"Nothing Fir, just did not expect that you decided to get married at this age. Especially the same old men. And, it seems like your husband is not being nice to you, you don't have to marry him?" Roni ventured to ask.

"Later or now the same Ron, if his soul mate will also remain married. And he's not who you think he is, he treats me well, very well. And please don't take care of what you're not supposed to take care of. We're here to do our job" Syafira said.

"Fir, I just..."

"They're coming, please don't discuss anything else if it has nothing to do with Ron's duties" Syafira said.

"Our sorry is late" said Syafira's friend who had just arrived.

Roni and Syafira smiled, and they began to do their work.

Syafira came home in the afternoon.

"Miss just got home?" ask the waiter when Syafira enters the house.

"Yes, where is Mas Bara?" syafira asked, because he did not see the car that used to ride Bara was not in the parking lot.

"It looks like the young master to the grave of the mistress Olivia non, was here om Jhon and brought the favorite flowers of the mistress Olivia," said the aunt carefully.

"Oh, where are the kids?" ask Syafira. There was a disappointed tone from his words, the article yesterday Bara who said if they were going to eat his father and Olivia together.

"Little young ladies and gentlemen are in their rooms non" replied Auntie.

Syafira went straight to her room first to clean up before meeting the twins.

After taking a shower, she met her two children in the room.

"Assalamualaikum, does anyone miss you?" syafira smiled as she opened the door to the twins.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Maiteyoo!" nathan and Nala together.

Syafira went inside without fading the smile on her face.

"What's the story today at school?" tanya Syafira yabg has now taken Nala.

The twins also told me about what they experienced in school in turn. Syafira listened to their stories carefully and occasionally in joking and laughter.

"Hahahaha o yes? Why would that be?" one of the responses Syafira spoke when her two children told her.

"Yes mother, the time was when the teacher asked us to mention an example of an antique stem, or he replied oma. Pity oma, old oma is not antique," said Nala.

"Let's age be many and old, continue to be second to none" Nathan chuckled.

"Eh there's ding, you're both Nala, you look like oma hahahaha," Nathan said.

"Athan!" nala shouted not to accept.

"What's? You say pretty oma, why don't you accept every time I say you look alike" Nathan said.

"It was to comfort oma aja, later oma sad if said ugly," said Nala.

"Can exactly! I don't accept being said ugly. You guys are sehati hahaha," Nathan said laughing. Nala did not accept it and they continued to argue.

"It's already! Now you take a shower, it's late afternoon" Syafira said. If the debate continues, it could end with Nala's cry.

"Miss, let the aunt who helped the master and the little young lady take a bath. Miss rest, Miss must be tired because she just came home," said the aunt who served as the twins' nanny. Since there Syafira, he felt that he ate a blind salary because most of the care for the twins was Syafira, while he only helped or if Syafira was not at home.

"No bi, I'm not tired anyway" said Syafira smiling.

"But non,"

"It's okay, let me. Aunty can do everything else" Syafira said.

"Well then, miss, auntie, excuse me," said the aunt and then walked out of the twins' room.

Syafira also takes care of the twins' afternoon needs.

Meanwhile in a different place, Bara still appears crouched in Olivia's grave. From this afternoon he came until this afternoon, not a word came out of his mouth. I don't know what's on that guy's mind.

"Young man, we'd better go home now. It's getting dark. Miss must have been waiting for you to go home," said om Jhon who since then every stood not far from the real Bara since felt tingling because it did not budge from its founding position.

Hearing the words of Jhon, Bara realized that he had been in Olivia's grave for a long time. Evidently with his feet that are difficult to stand because of tingling. He saw a luxurious clock adorning his right wrist.

"We go home now" he told Om Jhon.

"Your young master" said Om Jhon.

Thirty minutes later, Bara arrived home. Om Jhon immediately went home.

"Just come home?" sapa Syafira who just finished the Maghrib prayer, still wearing mukena, he approached Bara. He grabbed Bara's hand and kissed her.

"Hem" Bara said. Suddenly guilt approached him because he remembered that he had promised to go to the tomb together, but today he went there alone only because he was annoyed to see Syafira go with his friend.

"Bath first continues to pray later to run out of Maghrib time. I will prepare dinner" Syafira said. He held all the disappointment in his heart.

"Children don't pray together?" ask Bara.

"They said they wanted to pray alone in the room, Nathan wanted to be his priest" Syafira explained.

"Can you?"

"New learning process, let it not be too forced, later it can also be ordinary," Syafira said.

Bara did not reply again, he went straight into the bathroom. Syafira went straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

At the dining table, Syafira serves Bara as usual. Bara has since only noticed his wife who did not show the slightest anger towards him. However, it actually makes Bara feel upset. What the girl who was now pouring water into her glass was numb to what she had done. Does she really not care what her husband does? Normally if you care Syafira will be angry with him because he has broken a promise. But, since then Syafira did not mention the Bara to Olivia's tomb without inviting her, he said, she just carried out her duties as a good mother and gave a bonus to Bara by serving her needs as she said this morning.

"Mother, Nala wants it dong. Please take it," pinta Nala because what she wants is far from her reach.

"Nathan wants you too" Nathan continued.

"Byeah" said Syafira smiling kindly.

"Want to too?" ask Syafira.

"No, this is enough" Bara replied.

They also had dinner together as usual with the twins. Bara occasionally glanced at Syafira who seemed indifferent to him but was very enthusiastic when responding to the babbling twins
