One Step Closer

Three weeks passed after the wedding day of Wulan and Mas Evan. The house is harmonious and always full of laughter. But on the other hand there are things that still look strange, because Wulan is still sleeping with her children. I don't know what makes Wulan so reluctant to enter the room that he should have stayed with mas Evan.

On the other hand, the business activities of Dr. Dessert is back to normal. The sale of bread is always satisfactory. Even Mbak Nita forced Wulan to add 1 more employee, specifically to help make bread with Mbak Nita. Wulan premium cake fans do not want to lose, but lately Wulan limit the number of orders. Because Wulan felt overwhelmed to divide her time at this time between making cakes and playing with Safa Marwah.

Mas Evan never questioned if Wulan came home at night, but Wulan who felt self-knowing and condescending, so he limited himself to being able to go home early before Evan came home from the hospital.

Wulan continues to learn with her new role as a mother with two daughters. Later Wulan ventured to urge Safa Marwah to enter the school, so that the second social soul was open. Mas Evan is considering Wulan's advice because it is not easy to persuade Safa Marwah to enter school.

🍃🍃🍃🍃

That afternoon Wulan came home early, because Marwah wanted to invite her mother to buy a small knick knickknacks at the Pita store that just opened a few days ago on the road to go home. Wulan also agreed because it had been a few days both asked to visit the store that attracted their attention since the beginning of the store was opened.

The Freed car is now in front of the store. Seen the three entered the store that decorated pink dominant there. And as the name implies various types of ribbon knickknacks sold there, typical girls who like funny and unique things. Wulan was unknowingly almost affected by the unique objects sold there to buy it, but he managed to control the nature of his shopping. But not for Safa Marwah, they were so eager to choose the cute items.

" Mama Permitin, butiii.. only choose 1 object that you can buy okay??, "emphatically to control the twins who look will be caught in buying.

" Okeee Mama, "and the two went back around looking seriously at the display shelves that put the cute items enthusiastically.

Wulan sat at the cashier's desk chatting to his employees there. And without feeling 30 minutes passed until the two daughters returned to the face of Wulan who was smiling looking at the two who seemed satisfied with what they had chosen.

It was seen that both of them showed the items they had chosen simultaneously.

" This is mah???, can not??, "ask Marwah who handed the bando he brought as much as 3 pcs.

" This is why three?, because Marwah would wear the same with Safa and Mamah's brother," he explained a little hesitating because he saw the expression of his mother with a mewy forehead.

" Yes Mah, if Safa this bracelet can not mah??, Safa also choose 3, so we can pack together," he said again.

Wulan let out a long breath. "This time yaa have a daughter should anything be the same??," he murmured inwardly. But honestly, Wulan was happy, he knew the meaning of both. And Wulan's smile expands.

" Well baby, Mama knows, yes we paid and kept going home, "he said softly.

And suddenly Wulan got a warm embrace from the two who laughed happily because Mama was not angry.

The purchase transaction is completed. The three of them walked out of the Pita store happily. Safa Marwah spirit tells how they saw unique objects in Pita shop earlier.

Continuing the speed of the Freed car entered the elite residential area, and reached the courtyard of Mas Evan's residence. Safa Marwah is racing to get down and into the house. The new thing that becomes a race for both is an afternoon shower. Who first wake up early and shower quickly then is entitled to sleep with Mama Wulan.

Bibik is also accustomed to the new behavior of his little miss who turned out to be more obedient and manageable thanks to their new mother who is firm but loving.

" What cook do we make for tonight??, "asked Wulan while putting a bag on the dinner table and reaching for a cookbook.

" What, madam??, aunt is confused??"

" We cook simple bik??, sauteed broccoli and sambal fish aja ya?? not suitable bik??, "asked Wulan while looking at the contents of the recipe book that he bought two weeks ago and is now his mainstay for cooking cheat so far.

" It fits, fits, " replied Bibik while giving a thumbs up to Wulan, who was greeted with a small laugh by Wulan.

" Okay, bik's ingredients??".

" Complete Nyah" he answered confidently.

" Siip if that is so, but I settle the children shower first, yes," he said as he woke up and went straight to Safa Marwah's room which sounded laughter and jokes from behind the bathroom.

After cleaning Safa Marwah. Wulan went back out of the room to the dirty kitchen with Bibik who was ready with the ingredients prescribed from the book. The two began busy processing the ingredients according to step by step from the recipe book instructions.

Cooking is not easy for Wulan, seen somehow how much plaster is embedded in his fingers, as long as he learns to peel onions and cut fish. He was completely blind to cooking but because he remembered the figure of his late mother who diligently studied for new things made him motivated to want to like a mother. And Wulan also wants to revive the warm atmosphere of the house by always having dinner together. Although Evan sometimes misses dinner time together, at least he has tried to be a good mother for his two daughters by presenting his own cuisine.

But that afternoon, exactly hit 5 pm mas Evan came home with an unusual face. He walked in followed by Didi, who was seen following him from behind with a backpack and small plastic bag.

Mas Evan did not even say hello to Safa Marwah who was in the TV room, he immediately entered the room.

Wulan who looked confusedly towards that direction was drifting closer to Pak Didi who also came towards him.

" This is Madam, sir just finished molar tooth extraction. And this is the medicine that you must take Madam," he said politely as he handed the plastic medicine to Wulan who was still shocked by the return of this mas Evan sesore.

" Ah, well sir, thank you Mr. Didi"

" Excuse me, ma'am, "say Mr. Didi's heading back.

Wulan simply nodded in reply to Didi sir who passed towards the back kitchen. Safa Marwah looks at Wulan.

" Papa why Mah??" asked Marwah.

" Papa has a toothache, " replied Mama Wulan quietly who now sits next to Safa.

" Oooh, Papa does often have Mah's toothache, "Safa replied casually.

" Oya??, "welcome Wulan surprised.

" He can sometimes be two days Papa does not go to the hospital, "timpal Marwah.

" Kasian yaa Papa so can not eat Mama's cooking, " said Safa sadly.

" Ah yes, hhmm, if so mama Cook porridge for Papa first yes, so Papa can eat, " said Wulan while waking up.

Suddenly, Evan's bedroom door opened. Mas Evan with an unfriendly face walked straight to the refrigerator and grabbed cold water and drank it slowly and he tried to control his toothache. Wulan came to Evan waiting for a break when Evan finished drinking.

" Mum??, "why Wulan slowly. " Will I take medicine?? this is the same medicine that the dentist gave me".

Mas Evan did not speak, but he just waved his hand refusing. And again his eyes closed withstanding the pain of his teeth. Wulan who saw that was a little worried.

Unable to see it, Wulan turned to walk into Safa Marwah's room, he looked for a small towel in the drawer rack of Safa Marwah's closet. And he found one, and Wulan rushed to the place where Evan now sat at the table eating with his head supported.

Wulan opened the freezer refrigerator and took a small ice cube and poured it into the towel, then collected and closed it for a while and turned to the side of Evan who saw it off.

" Try compress this pack mas, let it reduce the swelling a little, "he said with a worried face.

Layahan mas Evan grabbed the small towel and compressed it right on his right cheek that was slightly swollen.

" It is better if you take the medicine, in order to reduce the pain, "again Wulan with an anxious look.

Mas Evan moved his one hand, to tell Wulan that his jaw hurt if he opened it to take medicine.

Wulan also tried to understand by the random hand signals of the cadre. But at once Wulan took the initiative to walk back into the kitchen and he looked for something under the cupboard with berahan, and he found the object he was looking for "torn stone". With berlahan he lifted a medium-sized stone cobek yaa weighs about 8 kg to carry the front dining shirt.

Mas Evan looked strangely, but the pain made him unable to think about what Wulan was doing.

And Wulan grabbed the medicine plastic and opened it and put together some of the drugs that had been prescribed by dr. Tooth. After that he crushed it on the cobek that he had given plastic with the tear so that 3 drugs were destroyed. Wulan also grabbed a spoon that was on the side of the dining table and put the powder medicine scooped and handed the spoon in front of Evan who looked dumbfounded with the action of Wulan.

"Diminum Mas, "he said while giving a spoon also a glass that from the beginning has been held by Evan.

With hesitation mas Evan took the medicine spoon, and tried to open his mouth berahan and try to resist the pain. A second later the medicine spoon was a success he drank by rushing to reach his glass of cold water to dissolve the drug immediately into his throat.

But for a moment Evan looked at Wulan with an annoyed face.

" It's spicy!!, "he said with unmoving jaws and bulging eyes, while Evan felt his throat spicy because of the medicine he was taking.

Wulan's confused. But he seemed to wake up, and a second later Wulan laughed curled up. How not, the drug made him destroy with a tear of a cobek child that he has used several times to make chicken sauce and sambal ijo.

Mas Evan looked annoyed at Wulan who laughed at him for taking chilli-flavored medicine.

" Oh my God I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Wulan didn't want this old chili-cabe. But this is an emergency, "the belanya who tried to hold back laughter saw the expression of Evan mas who could not speak because of enduring the pain.
