After we were satisfied playing, I invited Hana and Haikal to buy various kinds of snacks and ice cream available at the place. After that, we enjoyed the ice cream and snacks together. They look very happy and it makes me feel happy.
When we were having a snack together all of a sudden...
"Hana, Haikal," a gentle voice of a woman from a distance called out the names of the two children. We also looked simultaneously towards the origin of the sound.
Deg
My heart beats faster, when
I saw a woman who was no stranger to me.
“Mama,” shouted Hana and Haikal almost simultaneously while waving their hands at the woman.
“Rena,” sahutku ogre.
I really did not expect that Hana and Haikal were the children of Rena, the woman I once loved and had been an important part of my life. Worth it, when I met them, I felt no stranger to the faces of the two. Apparently they have a face that is not much different from his mother.
For a moment, I looked up at his arrival. His face has not changed much. He still looks as sweet as before, only his appearance now seems a little changed. Now, he looks more mature. A dark blue hijab now covered her black and wavy hair.
Then, he walked closer towards us, making this already fast heart rate seem to beat even faster.
Oh, my God, what's with this heart? Do I still feel the same feelings as I did before? In fact, after 12 years? Oh, my God, this can't happen because now he must be married. Her life must have been a happy one with her husband and their two cute and cute children.
“Kak Alan,” say hello Rena made me realize from my daydream.
“Rena,” my bro back.
“What is Brother doing with Hana and Haikal here?” asked Rena who looked nervous looking at me.
“Oh, I just invited them to play and enjoy a snack together,” I replied.
“Iya, Mah. Om Handsome is very good,” said Hana who then approached me and suddenly..

The little girl kissed my right cheek, making me surprised by her innocent behavior.
God, why is this kid so similar to his mom? It often leaves me shocked by her sudden attack (my inner memory recalls the memories between me and their Mama)
“Mama, know Om Alan?” ask Haikal.
“Iya, Mama knows. Coincidentally Om Alan is his friend Mama when he went to college. Then why are you guys with Om Alan? Then how can you play and enjoy snacks together? Where do you know Om Alan?” tanya Rena looked at Haikal and Hana in turn.
The little girl seemed confused to answer her mother's question. His eyes were looking at me as if begging for help to answer that question from his mother. Meanwhile, Haikal could only lower his head showing his fear.
“Begini Rena, your little son was accidentally lost the money given from you that they want to use to play here. Because I feel sorry and I happen to be tired of playing alone here too. So yeah, I'll take them to play with me. After that, the three of us feel hungry, so I also invite them to eat together to enjoy this snack,”.
“Oh, so. Hana why don't you tell Mama that your sister's money is gone?” asked Rena looked at her eldest daughter who seemed confused to answer her mother's question.
“Already, maybe they are afraid that you are angry, Rena. Forgetit. After all, I am also happy to get to know and play with them,”.
“But it can't be like that too Brother Alan. They should have told all that to his mother,” said Rena looked at Hana and Haikal with faces full of disappointment.
“Iya, sorry, Ma,” said Hana looked down.
“Ikal is also Mah, sorry,” sahut Haikal follows his older sister's style.
“Hana promises that this happens again Hana will definitely tell the same story Mamah," continued Hana.
“Iya, Ikal also Ma, suer!” sahut Haikal showed two fingers.
Their innocence invited a smile in my heart. I don't know why seeing them I wanted to have children. Mama said, I can't live like this. I have to start thinking about my future, having a new home. Even though that means I have to be ready to accept the woman Mama chose for me.
“Sister, Brother's son and wife where? Didn't you go with Brother?" ask Rena.
Rena's question this time surprised me half to death. Really, I was confused as to what to answer because I was actually reluctant to answer this question. A question whose answer will surely make people feel sorry for me when they hear it. Luckily, my phone suddenly shook.
Drrt...
Mama, you saved my life (my words in my heart as soon as I saw the name 'Mama' on my phone screen)
“Sorry, Rena, I want to pick up this phone first,”.
I also pressed the call recipient button.
“Halo, Alan,” says Mama.
“Iya, Ma," I replied.
“You're here, huh? My mom finished shopping. Now, Mama is queuing at the cashier 4.” pinta Mama.
“Iya, I'll slide right there, Ma,” I replied.
After I answered the phone and closed the call from Mama, I immediately said goodbye to Rena and her two children.
“Rena, sorry yes, I have to go first,” I said before leaving the three of them.
“Iya, Brother, please! Thanks again for taking my kids out to eat and play together. Of course it must be very troublesome,” said Rena.
“Not a problem, I'm happy to do it.” I replied.
“Iya, Om,” Haikal replied.
“Om wait, here first!" sahut Hana asked me to approach her.
Then, I walked up to the little girl and sat down next to her.

Again the girl suddenly kissed my right cheek.
“Ih, Big Brother flirt! From earlier nyiumin Om Alan continued,” protest Haikal.
“Yes, Hana, you can't do that to Alan. Later, if anyone is jealous how?” sahut Rena gave a plot to his daughter.
“Nothing, Rena, her mother also if you want to do the same thing does not matter to me. Oops!” I said unconsciously and I really regret it.
Astaga, Alan apa yang kamu bicarakan dia itu istri orang lain. Jaga bicaramu! (batinku)
“Maaf, tadi aku benar-benar bercanda, Rena,” sahutku yang saat itu sudah mendapat sorotan tajam dari Rena. Ia masih saja jutek seperti dulu. Dan itu malah membuatnya terlihat semakin menggemaskan.
“Splays Brother is really not funny,” said Rena ketus.
“Sorry,” I say full of regrets.
“Ya already, hurry there go! Your wife now must have been waiting,” said Rena still with a ketus tone.
Jesus, wife? So, Rena thinks that the one who called was my wife. But let him know the truth.
Finished saying goodbye I passed leaving Rena and her two children. I don't know why I feel so happy to see her again, even though I realize that this is a forbidden feeling that I have to throw away.

Alan walked up to the mother who was standing in line in front of the cashier table number 4. The middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful seems to be waiting for the cashier to count her groceries. He also gave the debit card that Alan had given to the cashier after all his groceries were counted.
“It looks like yesterday's record was broken yes, Ma. This time, Mama is shopping longer than usual,” Alan's tease on Mama.
“Ah, could have been you. I do not know just now Mama just experienced a small incident,” said Mama Alan.
“Insiden? What incident, Ma?” ask Alan to worry.
“Tadi Mamah had fainted inside,” Mama said.
“What? But Mama is nothing, right?” alan asked half-shouting in shock.
“Alhamdulillah, nothing. Fortunately, my mother was helped by a kind young woman. What's his name, huh? Well, Mama forgot,” said Mama Alan while trying to remember the name of the woman who had helped him earlier.
“It's Ma, if indeed Mama forgot. Now we go home, yuk!” bring Alan.
Mama Alan nodded. He then follows Alan to the car in the parking lot.
After finishing storing all his groceries into the trunk of the car. They both got into the car. Then wear seat belts in each car seat.
“Lan, this is your debit card,” Mama said while giving the card that Alan had given him.
“Please, just keep it in Alan's wallet, Ma,” pinta Alan pointed to the wallet he put in front of his car.
Mama Alan grabbed the wallet and slowly opened it. And just as he was about to insert the debit card into Alan's wallet, his eyes were fixed on a photo that seemed to have just been taken in Alan's wallet.
Mama Alan also took out the photo in Alan's wallet. He looked carefully at the image in the photo clearly.
“Who are these, Lan? You look very close to them like a father and his children, ” asked Mama Alan while showing the photo he had taken from Alan's wallet.
“Oh, they are the children of his friend Alan, Ma," replied Alan briefly, when he saw the photo with Hana and Haikal he took when the photo box with them earlier.
“Your friend's son? Geez, Alan aren't you envious? Your friend already has two kids like this. Funny and adorable again. You were alone? Let alone children, wives just do not have,”, said Mama Alan.
“Ah, Mama starts again,” says Alan.
“Eh, by the way your friend is a boy or a girl, yes?” ask Mama Alan curiously.
“Indeed if women why? She already had a husband time, Ma,” Alan replied.
“Oh, means true female? Wow, what a pity, I have a husband. If she was a widow, Mama would have betrothed her to you,” said Mama eagerly.
“Hus, Mama talk what the hell?” sahut Alan's.
In the heart of the soul Alan grimaced to hear the words of the Mother. Her mother didn't know she was the woman Alan once loved. The woman he may not have completely forgotten and still has a place in his heart.
