Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Childhood Stories
Upon arrival at the house of Mother Ranti and Father Wibi, Khaira sat in the living room. Resting her body for a moment, soon Mother Ranti came with a warm drink and a jar of nastar cake for Khaira.
"Drink first, Khai... Momentarily, Mommy wants to call your husband first."
Mother Ranti also directly contacted Radit's phone number.
[Halo Radit, this is Mommy.].
[Yes Mother, what's wrong?] sahut Radit's across there.
[Dit, this is Khaira let nginep in the house of Mother yes, Mother had met Khaira while in the Mall. Khaira who anterin Mother home, Mother asks Khaira nginep again yes, kangen same daughter-in-law Mother.]
[Well, how about Mother? Radit after yes, Radit later to Mother's house.]
After calling Radit, Mother Ranti sat with Khaira in the living room.
"Khaira, would you like to tell Mother about your husband's childhood?" Mother Ranti said while carrying a photo album in red. Photo albums that look very old.
"Yes Mother, Khaira wants to hear the story of Mother" said Khaira with her eyes sparkling happily.
Begin Mother Ranti open a photo album that has been very long.
"Well, this is the album that Dad and Mommy had to capture the growth and development of Radit. Radit was present in our lives, after we were married for 2 years. Having Radit made our lives change. Father and Mother are common at home, then there is the cry of a small baby that adds happiness to the house. And, here's a picture of Ammar's father and Mother Dyah who came to visit us when Radit was a child." Mother Ranti's hand pointed to a photo where Father Ammar and Mother Dyah visited them.
Khaira who saw the photo smiled. Meaning it is true that his parents and in-laws have been friends for a very long time.
"Then, here's a photo of Radit from him learning to go on his stomach, sit down, and walk. We all capture it here. Then, this photo of Radit's been great, he's been trying for 5 years here. And, this is the first time Radit entered Kindergarten." this time Mommy Ranti pointed to a photo that showed a boy wearing his kindergarten uniform.
"Keep this photo, Khai... This is the first time you and Radit have met. At that time Radit was 8 years old, and you were a child of about 4 years if Mother was not wrong. The first time you met, you cried when Ammar's father took you home. You said you wanted to play with me. Radit is like that too, see how much he loves you. This is a photo when you take a nap, your hands are grasping each other do not want to come off. If it is not wrong, then Radit said like this to Mother and Father, "Radit would take care of Khaira, Bun. Later when Radit grew up to marry Khaira adek." Hearing the little boy's words, we have betrothed you since childhood. You love Radit too much. When you were a kid you called him Mas Adit, honey."
Khaira looks surprised to hear the story of Bunda Ranti with a photo of the two who are still small.
"So... Is this Mas Adit? Khaira's Adit Mas as a child?" Khaira seemed to be in disbelief, until she shed tears.
"Why do you love even crying? You should be happy, because you married someone you loved since childhood. Yes, this is Khaira's Mas Adit..."
Khaira hugged Mother Ranti, she was still crying. In his heart there was happiness as well as sadness.
You're Khaira's Mas Adit, the first man to steal a kiss on my cheek, the first man to make me cry, and the first man Khaira loves. But, after all this why did you change. I may have forgotten my childhood memories, but you didn't recognize me and now you don't love me. Khaira muttered in his heart, while crying in the arms of Mother Ranti.
"Hmm, no papa really. Khaira was crying happily, apparently Khaira's husband was Mas Adit. Khaira really did not expect, Mother. Maybe when Khaira was a child, the memory of Khaira is limited, so when Ammar's father and Mother Dyah said they wanted to match Khaira with the child of her friend, Khaira honestly rejected Mother. For Khaira, why did Father and Mother match up Khaira with a man whom Khaira did not know. It turns out that Khaira already knew him as a child." said Khaira as her hand rubbed the tears that fell on her face.
Mother Ranti smiled at Khaira's story, Mother felt her daughter-in-law was very honest and innocent, until she refused the matchmaking was told to her in-laws.
"Nothing, Mother Ranti also understands your position. Especially after Radit was 10 years old, we no longer visit your family who were still living in Jogjakarta. Meanwhile, we settled in Jakarta. Since then, you have not met each other. You guys meet again at your wedding."
"Mother, can Khaira ask for this photo of Mommy? Khaira wants to scan Mommy, Khaira give it back sometime." Khaira pointed to a picture of her happy second childhood along with the background of Prambanan Temple.
"This, just for you Khaira. How does seneng not, have found Mas Adit?" This time it was Mother Ranti who seduced Khaira.
"Yes, Khaira is pleased Mother..." He answered while putting a picture of his second childhood in his bag.
"Yes, there you rest at night, go straight to Radit's room. Put on your husband's clothes to sleep, Khai..."
"Yes, Mother, good night."
Khaira walked up the stairs to Radit's room. He was looking for sports training clothes and pants that he originally wore when he first stayed at his in-laws' house. Khaira ventured to open the closet, and the clothes were in the top pile. So immediately Khaira took the clothes and changed them.
While in the living room, Bunda Ranti is still sitting waiting for Ammar's father who is still working in the office. There was a knock on the door, but Radit was coming.
"Mother's Night... Where's Khaira, Bun?" Radit asked when he had just arrived at his parents' house.
"You're very possessive, Dit. His wife was pinned down by Mommy last night just can't." Mommy said while laughing teasing Radit.
"Well, if Khaira's here, his Radit's booby itself dong." Radit replied while laughing to his Mother. Although only the answer ngeles because of what happened in the second household, completely unknown to his parents.
"Yes there, follow Khaira to your room. Most of his children are asleep."
Radit rushed to his bedroom on the second floor. He entered his room without knocking on the door, and went straight in. While the new Khaira will sleep with the position he is already on top of the bedroom.
Seeing the sudden arrival of her husband, Khaira immediately sat down and looked at her husband.
"Sleep, I just want to come here. Do not let Father and Mother suspect the same of us both. Don't misunderstand me either." That's all Radit said, and then he laid himself by Khaira's side.
Khaira directly arranged the bolster that separated the distance between the two as a barrier. Then, he turned his back on Radit and covered his entire body until it reached his head.
