My Husband's Second Love
Episode 9

Mom just kept following behind me. I was pacing between the closet and the mattress where my bag lay, my mother also did the same. I have long wanted to laugh.

"Hehe...mom why do the tails keep behind me, anyway?" I almost laughed at my mother's funny behavior.

"I suspect Rum, there must be something wrong between you and Han. Aye right? Rum.answered mother."

"Hahaha." I took my mother's hand and invited her to sit on the bedside.

I held my mother's hand, and I looked at her warmly. There's guilt tucked away, so rarely do I go home to see a mother who lives alone here.

"Mom...Rumi and Mas Han are fine. There's no problem between us."

"Did Han hurt you?"

Mom, how I want to have a child and be a mother like you.

"Rumi is happy Mom, Mas Han treats Rumi well, trust Rumi well.we are fine."

"You didn't lie, did you?"

I shook my head, my mother hugged me tightly, "Rumi doesn't lie Mom, Rumi's fine."

"You should be happy Rum. You've been hard for too long, forgive the mother who can't make you happy."

"Mother don't say that, the moments that make Rumi happy the most are time with mom and time to marry Mas Han."

"I'm sorry yu, disturbing," Mr. Dul's voice suddenly sounded, we became distracted and saw Mr. Dul who was standing at the door, "may I borrow clothes, I don't bring a change of clothes, I don't bring a change of clothes, hehe..."

"Pak Dul can most damage the atmosphere of haru," I said almost chuckled, the atmosphere that had made the drift turned one hundred and eighty degrees because of the actions of Mr. Dul.

"Boleh, it happens that Rumi's father's clothes are still there, it seems to be almost the same size."

"Well, I still remember the size of my husband."

The mother who walked in front of Mr. Dul stopped, turned around and then ruffled her waist, "yes I certainly remember, she was the only man in my life," then casually passed into the room.

I laughed amusedly, there is only mother, I think offended by Mr. Dul's words. I'm sure Mr. Dul was holding his breath for fear of getting damprat.

While looking at me, Mr. Dul said, "i was surprised ndoro Putri, I think his mother was going to be angry," I shook my head and laughed to see Mr. Dul stroking his chest many times.

"Well, this" mother came out of her room carrying a pair of clothes belonging to father, boss and sarong.

"Sorry mbak yu, if I can accept this," Mr. Dul took the Hem that my mother brought, "if the sheath, I would like to wear it, worried that someone might mistake it."

"Who knows, I'm wearing it," I put the glove over Hem, which was in Mr. Dul's hands.

"Just wear it, sir. Just don't make a walk," I said.

"Yes Ndoro Putri, I will go straight into the room and rest."

"By the way, how many years has it been unwashed?" mr. Dul was looking for things, but from the look on his face I was sure the goal was to tempt mother and provoke her to anger.

The mother who was about to walk to the kitchen broke her intention, quickly took the clothes that were in the hands of Mr. Dul and would bring him again.

"Yes, don't change, bother very much," grumbled while bending his face.

"Sorry, I'm just kidding," Mr. Dul hurried to pick up the clothes in his hands and ran into the room.

"Rum, you wait in the room, let your rest be good, I want to make something."

"Yes, I'm not tired."

"No, tired of what."

I entered the room, unpacked the bag and continued to arrange it in the closet. My old clothes are still there, nothing has changed. My body size is still the same, so I don't regret bringing a little shirt. How long I stay is no problem.

After all the tidiness, I just saw a cell phone. The battery died, I don't know how long. I remember last night I forgot not to charge my phone. I put the charger on without turning it on. For tonight I'll let my phone die, I won't be disturbed.

Mother turned out to take good care of my room, after all the items I brought were in place I could immediately lay down my body.

"Don't sleep first, I'm still missing," I'm really here again with tea and snacks placed on the plate.

"It's eaten, the tea's warm, let's give it a shot, come on," mom patted my ass hard.

"Shift," mother pushed her body and went to sleep by my side.

"Say was told to drink warm tea, dear also lumpia left on the plate," I who almost sat so difficult to wake up.

"He's sleepy?"

"No, I hit my ass really hard."

I went downstairs, sat down at the dresser and sipped my mom's hot tea, it was amazing, "i'm here a week to get my diabetes."

"Will not, mother made it with affection, it will not be a disease."

"How is your life at your husband's house, are you happy, does Han obey all you want, what is your house order?"

No mother, I just occupy, all the arrangements are equated with the home of Mas Han's parents. I'm not allowed to change anything in that house.

"Yes ma'am, all Rumi set up," but I'm not going to tell mom. I want you to think I'm the queen in my house.

"Walah niyo senenge your father Rum, nek kowe seneng, mother melu seneng, your father mestine yo melu seneng neng kono."

(Well, if your dad knows Rum, if you're happy, mom's happy, your dad's happy there too)

"Don't be Mom, Rumi doesn't want to tell me that mom keeps on melow because she remembers dad. I'm happy in heaven, "seeing mom's teary eyes makes my heart cut.

"If your in-laws are good with Rum?"

I enjoy my mom's spring rolls, "when did you make these spring rolls?"

"So this morning, I've fried some of the mother, the rest of the mother keep in the refrigerator, fried if you want to like now," I did buy a refrigerator one door for mom before marriage, I did buy a refrigerator one door for you before marriage, I don't want you to go to the market often to buy food because the market is quite far away.

"You haven't answered mom's question, Rum."

My father-in-law is a good father Mom, Rumi manyayangi father like Rumi love the same father. If it's mom, let me know how my mother-in-law treats me.

"Hmmm.bapak is like a good mother, treating Rumi like a father-in-law should treat his daughter-in-law."

I glanced at the mum whose nose had changed a little, "mom don't think of anything ah, Rumi's happy mother, trust in Rumi."

"Where else are you going Rum?"

"Grub your teeth, you bring spring rolls, Rumi so you have to repeat the toothbrush again," it's better to avoid, after brushing your teeth immediately to sleep Rum, look, I'm starting to suspect with all your answers.

"Mom go to sleep first" I shouted as I passed into the bathroom.

When I finished brushing my teeth, I wished I had slept, but my eyes were still wide, wider than my eyes.

"There goes up, it's been a long time since you've dikrononi mother."

I hurried up, slept on the side of the wall, then mommy came over and hugged me from behind, "sleep Rum, there's mom here, I know you're happy, I know you're happy, but feel a different kind of happiness here, son."

I twisted my body and faced my mother, curled up in her arms. Trying to hold back my tears so as not to wet my mother's chest. Enjoying the long back rub I no longer feel. I want to go back to being your little girl like you used to be Mom.
