Mother to My Children
Chapter 64

However, before he stepped out of the room. Syafira sent a message to Bara.

"Mas, I'm authorized to time yes, mumpung children with mother. Mas Bara don't look for me. I'll go home by myself" a message sent to Bara.

"Yes, be careful, I also suddenly have to get out of town, tomorrow the day after I just came home," a reply sent by Bara. He thought Syafira would only go away for a while, as usual, spending time with his friends.

Syafira did not reply again, she put her phone in her bag and dragged her suitcase out of the room.

Two days later, Bara just came home, he wanted to immediately relieve his fatigue due to the work that so piled up since yesterday.

Bara thought, Syafira must have returned and prepared all his needs as usual. Moreover, this is a weekend, his wife knew that Bara would be at home all day.

But out of his mind, he did not find his wife welcome his return as usual. Maybe still, he thought.

Upon entering the room, he saw Olivia's photo was reattached, according to Shafira's promise.

Bara searched for the whereabouts of Syafira almost to all corners of the house, but he did not find it.

"From yesterday the young mistress did not go home, he said he had the same permission, sir," said Bibi when Bara asked Syafira.

"Did the young mistress not tell the young master where it went?" fearfully the aunt asked. Because it's not usually Syafira like this, thought auntie.

"He said I forgot" Bara replied.

Bara just remembered the message sent by Syafira not to look for it, now he understood the meaning of the sentence. Yes, me time that Syafira meant was not just the same way his friends, but more than that, he left and stupid Bara did not realize it.

He rubbed his face rough,

"Where are you Fir?" his inner.

Just about to climb up the stairs to return to his room, Bara paused his steps as the twins' screams rang out clearly in his ears.

"Daddyy!" nala and Nathan exclaimed as they ran towards him. Bara turned and smiled, welcoming his two children.

The twins hugged the father they missed.

"Says it's still a few days?" Bara carried Nala and walked up to Lidya maam who was standing a few meters away from her.

"Yes, my mother's plan is to take them in a few days, but Nala has whined to go home. Kangen the same mother said," replied Ms. Lidya.

And this is when Bara is confused what to say to the twins if they ask Syafira.

"When do you come home?" I try to divert the conversation. He sat on the sofa following Lidya who had sat first.

"A few days ago" replied Ms. Lidya.

"Where Fira, the collision did not welcome mama came," Bu Lidya jokingly looking for the whereabouts of Syafira.

"He's gone again ma" said Bara.

"Emm, maybe. This is Bara also just came home," Bara replied, Lidya ma'am felt something strange from the look on her daughter-in-law's face.

"Hem, how is your relationship with Syafira? Mama hope that after the photo of Olivia Mama down from your room, your relationship is getting closer" said Ms. Lidya.

Honey, you guys go up first it's the same nanny," Bara told the twins, he didn't want the twins to hear his conversation with Lidya ma'am.

After the twins left, Bara stared intently at Lidya's mother.

"Whose mom took Olivia's picture?" Bara confirms what he heard.

"Yes why? You are, yes, the very same Fira, have you not thought about how your wife feels? If in the living room and others may not be a problem, it can still be accepted, but if in the room? To just touch you, Syafira will think twice when looking at the photo as if he was watching your activities.." Bu Lidya paused his words for a while and then continued after sighing.

"Not even a single photo of you and Syafira is on display in this house. She's Bara's legal wife, treat her fairly. This is Syafira, try if other women, mama for example, not only mama move, can mama burn it photo, no thank goodness to be a man,"

"Syafira has never complained about the photo, so far" Bara said trying to remember what Syafira had protested with the photo.

"Yes, with the nature of Syafira like that, there is no way he will protest. But, that does not mean she is okay with all the attitudes you show her, however she is a wife, her rights and freedoms are tied to you, She can no longer be free like her friend, she is, all his attitudes and behavior should be limited because of his status as a wife.

His mind will still be hurt with your attitude like this, you tie him to a marriage, but you do not treat him as where he should be. He always knew you, accepted all your treatment, but have you ever tried to understand him a little?"

Bara was silent, in his heart he felt guilty because yesterday had berated his wife, while Syafira did not defend at all. Syafira did not protest with her husband's accusations, even the girl still tried to toughen up by not shedding her tears in front of Bara.

"Why are you silent Fir I'm angry like that, why don't you protest if you didn't do it" Bara murmured, combing her hair in frustration. He regretted what he had done to get his wife out of the house.

"What's? You scold Syafira? Just so you know, when mama will take the photo, Syafira prevents it. Thinking about how you feel, he thought about how you would get angry if the photo was taken. He wants you to take it down by yourself, but when? Oh, my God, because my mom Syafira got angry. The rule of the mother you are angry if you want to be angry, not your wife. He's not wrong,"

Bara was increasingly frustrated to hear Lidya's scolding. He scratched his temple. He stood up, looking for his wife.

"Where are you, mama hasn't finished talking!"

"Finding Syafira ma," Bara replied.

" Shafira? You kicked him out? really you yeah, it's a photo just transferred from your room Bara, not from your heart! why are you overreacting like this?"

"Bara didn't throw him away ma, it wasn't that bad. She's Bara's wife, Bara loves her, where Bara might be kicked out. He did not stop, just said he needed me time, usually if angry too not long, this time until not coming home. But it's gonna be good soon,"

"That's gone by the name beg*!"

"Ma.." Bara protest.

"What's? You are stupid about feelings, about sensitivity to your partner. It hasn't changed in the past. Clever is just about finding money, you know! but the matter of relationship is still beg*, still have much to learn again!"

"Ma.." wanted to protest but couldn't if the mother-in-law thought the birth mother had taken her horn out. Wrong he will be fired as a ghost.

" You don't want to know, take Syafira home as soon as possible, or you fire her as a ghost!" mad at Lidya. Well, it really wants to be fired, even though Olivia is dead, fired is actually okay. But his affection for Ms. Lidya who considered her own child made her unable to wart. Even Varel often protested because his mother was more affectionate with his sister-in-law, even though it was a hoax. Varel knows, Lidya ma'am's affection he shared for the two handsome men in his life.

Bara immediately returned to the room, to change clothes before looking for Syafira. The feeling is more and more unsettled when he realizes there are some clothes Syafira that does not exist, which means that his wife will not return in a few days maybe even will not return? More and more confused, he immediately changed clothes and immediately grabbed his cellphone located on the nightstand.
