Not the Perfect Wife
49. Dinner
"Mother!" yelled Afrin who just got home from school.
"Assalamualaikum," said Yasna.
"Getishalight."
"Other times if you enter the house say hello first, do not shout."
"Yes, Mother."
"Come, take a shower! After that we have lunch."
Yasna bathed Afrin after which invited her to lunch.
"Afrin called Papa in the coworking room Brother in the room, Mother wants to prepare her food."
"Yes, Mother."
"Emran didn't go back to the office, Na?" ask Karina.
"No, Ma. Emran didn't come out of that either."
"Surely he's still thinking about Aydin's problem."
"Is Aydin often like this, Ma?"
"Since entering the Junior High School and this is the fourth call for Emran, whereas Aydin was only seven months into Junior High."
Yasna nodded her head in understanding. Everyone had gathered at the dining table, only Aydin, who had not yet come out.
"Bik, please call Aydin," said Emran.
"Okay, sir," replied Bik Ima.
Bik Ima headed to Aydin's room, which was not far from the dining room.
"Den Aydin said he wasn't hungry yet, sir."
"Yes, thank you, Bik" said Emran. "Come, we'll eat!"
"What about Aydin, Mas?" ask Yasna.
"When you're hungry, you eat."
Although Aydin was still thinking, Yasna continued to eat even though she was not tasteful. Yasna believed Emran's remark that Aydin was hungry would eat, but until dinner the boy had not come out yet, making Yasna unsettled.
"Aydin hasn't eaten yet, Bik?" ask Yasna.
"Not yet, Mom said she wanted to do the punishment."
Yasna took a plate, filled it with rice and fish, as well as a glass of water. He'll take her to Aydin's room.
"Afrin is now eating alone, yes! Mommy wants to bring food for Brother."
"Yes, Mother."
"It's not necessary, Na. Later if Aydin is hungry will also come out." Emran tries to prevent Yasna.
"So day Mas said that, but until night he didn't come out either. I can't swallow my food when my son's hungry." Yasna went to Aydin's room.
Yasna knocked on the door a few times. However, there was no telling, Yasna tried knocking on the door even harder.
"Aydin! This is Mother bringing food, you have not eaten from lunch, you must be hungry" Yasna said in a loud voice.
Aydin was silent.
"Mother knows you're hungry so, Mommy brought food here, you still get the punishment? Mother wait at the door, yes .. later we eat together, Mother also has not eaten."
Yasna leaned against the wall beside the door of the room, suddenly she remembered her childhood, she had also done wrong and received punishment from her mother. Yasna recalled how he advised her that what her mother was doing was for her good, and she also said that what she was doing was wrong.
Yasna smiled remembering that, now she felt what her parents felt first.
Aydin's bedroom door opened until it broke Yasna's daydream, he smiled at the boy. Aydin opened the door to let Yasna in.
"You eat first, the sentence will continue" Yasna said after sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Put it there, and I'll eat. Aunt should eat."
"Mother will be here waiting for you to finish eating."
"I'm later-
"Eat first, then continue again" Yasna cut.
Afrin ate the food Yasna had brought to an end, she was hungry, but her frustration covered everything.
"You want the same story, Mother?" yasna asked after Aydin finished eating.
"Mother knows you're innocent, why not defend yourself?"
"Where does Auntie know?"
"Papa's money is more than enough for Aydin, let alone this early in the month, Aydin's money must still be a lot so, it's impossible for you to turn on your friend."
"Dave's picking them up, I feel sorry for the friends who only have mediocre money, even they only have money to ride in angkot, but Dave still took it, their house is far away, far away, sorry they had to walk."
"Why don't you report to Master?"
"Dave's the son of the head of the foundation, no one dared to report."
"Nobody you helped defend you?"
"They're scared, they went to school there because of the scholarship, Dave threatened to drop their scholarship."
"Did Aydin fight with Dave a lot?"
Aydin nodded his head in response.
"Tomorrow Mother help find a solution, now you rest, tomorrow only in the words."
Unbeknownst to them, Emran was standing at the door of Aydin's room since Yasna entered so, he heard everything they were talking about.
"I'm not sleepy."
"Rest does not mean you have to sleep, the body also needs rest" Yasna said. "Mother out, yeah."
Yasna leaves Aydin alone in her room, and returns to the table because she has not eaten. Everyone was still there waiting for Yasna to arrive, they wanted to know, had Aydin eaten?
"Aydin's gonna eat, Na?"
"Already, Ma ... Mama hasn't eaten?" yasna asked when she saw Karina's plate still full.
"Wait for you."
"Why wait for me? Yes, because now that Aydin has eaten, we should eat too."
Karina nodded, how lucky she was to have a daughter-in-law like Yasna, a woman who loved her husband's child so much as she loved her own.
*****
"What did you say to Aydin?" emran asked, he and his wife were in the room, getting ready for bed.
"As I heard."
"Where did you know I was there?"
"From the perfume I wear. When I opened the door, I smelled Mas's perfume in there and I'm sure it must be Mas eavesdropping."
"I just want to know what you're talking about, Aydin's a hard person to interact with, which is why I never know what he wants."
"Difficult doesn't mean you can't, right? Talking to Aydin is only necessary from heart to heart."
"I'm lucky to have a wife of understanding like you." Emran hugged Yasna. "May I ask for my rights tonight?"
Getting such a question made Yasna ashamed, she simply nodded in response. Emran immediately attacked Yasna and what should have happened.
(sorry yes I did not explain in detail, it is better to think for yourself, fear of minors reading).
*****
This morning all the family had gathered at the dinner table, they enjoyed breakfast so voraciously.
"Non't you go to school?" ask Afrin.
"Schooler's off" Aydin replied.
"I'm going on vacation too."
"It can't be like that, Brother is off because it's school off, if Afrin school will enter!" Yasna. "Come, Mother interin!"
Afrin goes to school with a sullen face, making Yasna anxious.
After escorting Afrin, Yasna went to a shop selling CCTV, he chose a ballpoint pen so as not to be seen, he would give it to Aydin to record all the events. He did not want to see Aydin blamed for what he did not do.
