The next morning I picked up my mother to leave the room.
Mom introduced me to Mr. Wira, her husband. While eating breakfast menu.
"Mas, this is Fira" his mother told Mr. Wira
"Hi Fira, I'm Mr. Wira," said Mr. Wira kindly.
Fira just nodded with a smile. He doesn't know what to say. We continued to eat breakfast, Mr. Wira sat at the end of the table, Mom by her side and I across from Mom.
We just fell silent only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks could be heard.
"Where is your college?" ask Mr. Wira to break the silence.
"Well sir." I replied briefly not wanting to speak at length.
"You are in the right college, In the Lord, you will pay until you graduate. Don't disappoint your mother she really wishes you success." Said Mr. Wira advising, while glancing at Mother with his message.
I just respond with a smile every word an Mr. Wira.
Hehhhhh, I want to feel like I'm cursing at this man. He took advantage of the weakness of my mother's situation, acting pretentious no matter how much hate remained in his heart.
I don't know the situation of his household with his first wife, but whatever the reason for marrying my mother to a series is a mistake in my eyes.
"Bismillah, I must make peace with all this, it feels heavy, O God." I lamented in my heart.
Finally breakfast time is over I just sit to watch the intimacy of this husband and wife, yes my mother with Mr. Wira.
My mother drove Mr. Wira into the car.
While I was just stupefied in my seat.
"Fira," called my mother gently while holding my hand.
"Sorry Mom, you are sad about this situation, but this is the way Mom son, I hope you understand" Mother said as her eyes turned brightly on me.
I nodded while holding back the cry.
"Yes Ma'am, Fira Iklas, Fira will learn Iklas, share Mother's affection with Mother's happiness." I said looking down to break my tears.
"Fira's going to Mom's room!" I said as it passed.
I passed into the room. The vacation that was supposed to make me happy turned out to actually make me have to face the reality of life.
A week feels like a long time with my mom. I don't know why I'm uncomfortable with my mom. But because I did not want to disappoint my mother, I also survived as originally planned.
I locked myself in my room, I came out when my mother called me to eat.
It's been three days at my mother's house, days I've been through just sitting in my room. Suddenly I remembered Sabrina.
Ahhh. Bored at home continues, in fact Mother took me for a walk to visit the mall in this city. But I reject her My heart is still disappointed with Mother.
I went to my mom this afternoon to play at Sabrina's.
I was escorted by Mr. Edi, Mother's driver, Mother wouldn't let me go alone. After we followed the road to Sabrina's house until we were in front of her.
"This is Mr. Edi, let me go in alone. Mr. Edi just went home, I don't have to wait." I told Edi.
"But non, Mother non told me to wait,!" he said again
"It's okay, later if I want to go home I call Mr Edi?" my answer.
"Neither Non, I go home first" he said again.
I set my foot into Sabrina's courtyard, I saw a quiet house, the sound of children coming from the mosque was heard. I turned my head towards the sound
I saw Sabrina again teaching kids to teach.
I sat waiting in the foyer of the mushola not to bother him.
"Assalamualaikum," I said salutations.
"Greetings waalaikum!" sabrina answered while looking at me.
"Hi, Fira, how come you've been there, you've been waiting for so long? why not just call from earlier.?" greet Sabrina.
"It's okay, just two hours ago, I didn't want to bother you who was teaching?" I said.
"Ahhh, it's okay, the children around rather than playing the sibling play teach them to teach, Alhamdulillah many want!" sabrina said, holding my hand to her house.
"Come to the house!" bring her.
"Ahhh, just here, more cool!" I said.
We chatted while sitting on the porch of the mushola.
Talk about our activities.
Until the afternoon I was at Sabrina's home, entertainment alone could talk and chat with friends, even though I didn't tell her my problems. Hearing her story and telling her about my school was enough to make me forget the trouble in my heart.
It was late in the afternoon, I said I went home to Sabrina, actually she was going to take me home but I refused, I just wanted to walk, while looking at the atmosphere in the afternoon.
I got home and saw my mom cleaning the front page. I watched him from afar, my mother sweeping the yard, watering the flowers, arranging the garden in front of the house. Even though Mom has become a hostess but she still does not hesitate to do all the housework.
"Assynolt,!" greetings to Mother.
"Greetings waalaikum,!" my mother replied while looking.
"Kok not call Mr. Edi, ask to be picked up?" ask Mother.
"It's okay, ma'am, just want to walk" I replied.
I look into my mother's eyes, I love her, but sometimes our minds are different.
"Mom, forgive Fira yes, Fira shouldn't hate Mom's marriage,!" I said to Mom.
"Mom understands son, it takes a process to accept something" said my mother again.
"Mom, Fira will come home tomorrow, want to prepare everything to leave for Surabaya later.!" say
"You say a week, you don't feel right?" ask Mother.
"Not Mom, but indeed Fira had to focus on Fira's lecture,!" said explain.
"Why don't you just go to college here, son, accompany Mom, Mr. Wira here once a week, I'm lonely, if there's you, then there's a friend of his.?" pinta mother.
I was silent, it was hard to leave my mother in this situation, I was not sure of my happiness as a second wife.
"But I signed up there, Mom!" i said lirih.
"There's a scholarship offer here, right?" ask my mother again.
"Yes, there's a, butiii.."
"Sir Wira, huh,? aren't you comfortable meeting her often?" mother asked before I continued my words, I can expect it.
I just looked down, not knowing what to say. Whatever my mother's feelings I have to take care of.
"Well, if that's your reason, I can't stop you, when are you ready?, let me help you?" ask Mother.
"It's okay, ma'am, I can do it, there aren't many of my things I've brought!" my answer.
"Well, if you need me, just call me!". Mother said to me as she resumed her work.
I walked to my room. In the room, I was confused how to. I don't have to leave Mom alone.
