Sorry your Husband I Borrowed
Visit to Mother's House

On Saturdays, I like to wake up. So does Fira, definitely follow me.

I didn't hear Mas Arga's voice. He must have left by morning. I always fucked him. It's been a dozen years that it's been going on. He is rarely at home, despite the holidays.

''Ma...when are the streets again the same good father?'' pinta Fira who suddenly entered my room. I still ignored her question.

''Hi.Mami's daughter is awake. Wake up during the day..follow Mami.'' chirped me.

He slid into my arms. I stroked him, because he was spoiled, if it was close to me.

''We're going to grandma's house, yuk. We got on the ferry.'' I said tell him.

Without thinking long, he immediately agreed, I took the road to Tanjungpinang, to his grandmother's house.

''Mi. later Fira slept on the ship again yes Mi, '' he said.

''Come prepared, let's take a shower. Keep us to the harbor, take the ferry.'' I said.

I told him to take a shower first. After that, I. He seems very excited to be invited away.

''Mi, good father, was not invited to the grandmother's house ya.'' he said again, still discussing about Boss Robert.

''Ouch. Anyway, why does he care so much, same boss Robert. It seems, these two have an inner bond, which is difficult to separate.

''Call dad good dong Mi. Nih use Fira's phone, he said while thrusting his phone to me. I had to lie. I'm just saying, that a good father doesn't want to be bothered because he's busy with his office duties. There was a sense of disappointment in his heart, when I said that. But, I'll try to keep Fira away from Boss Robert. If they get too close, it's a danger to my soul health and to Fira's own mental health.

''Mi, come on try to call dad good. Who knows, good dad is not busy.'' he said trying to lobby me.

''Try Fira who calls herself.'' I said giving advice.

When Fira tries to make a call to Boss Robert's number, it turns out that his phone is off. I see Fira is really disappointed.

''Mi, not active Mi.'' he said reporting to me.

''Yes. Kan Mami already said that the good father was busy completing his office tasks. So, the hape is inactive. Next time, baby, we'll call good dad. May the good father not be busy anymore.'' I said give hope to him. He nodded his head, though disappointed.

''Smile, dong, Mami's daughter. Time to pout. Ugly!''

He remained silent, unaffected by my words. Even so, he continued to prepare his luggage, along with his toys.

''Mi, Fira brought the same shirt with sleeping pants that picture pony yes.'' he said while showing his shirt.

''Same barby shirt with Mi.''

''Same rotten pillow Fira also yes Mi.''

''Don't be too much, darling. Mami's weight took her.'' I said remind her, so as not to carry her things too much.

''Yes, '' said he, and I saw some dolls and clothes that he canceled.

Arriving at the port, I immediately bought a ticket to Tanjungbalai-Tanjungpinang. Fira and I boarded the ferry immediately.

Thankfully, the sea is calm. Along the way on board, Fira slept more. Because it was his plan, continued to sleep on the ferry.

Two hours already, the ferry to Tanjungpinang sailed, and immediately leaned on the port of Sri Bintan Pura Port.

I stroked Fira's hair, and she wriggled, along with the ferry that had been docked at the dock.

''Honey, wake up. We have arrived.'' whispered.

He still refused to open his eyes. Once again I woke him up, as one by one the passengers of the ship began to queue at the door, preparing to disembark.

''Honey, wake up dong. Mami is not strong if told to hold a sling.'' I said again, whispering softly in her ear.

''Yes....Mi, '' he replied while lazily.

Me and Fira, follow the queue to get out, from the ferry that I was riding.

Some taxi drivers are already on standby at the exit of the port of Sri Bintan Pura, waiting for prospective passengers.

''Taxi, ma'am, '' said a man, trying to offer his freight services to me.

''Can, Sir. To km 20 Kijang how many directions sir?'' ask I want to know first, how much is the rate.

''A hundred thousand, ma'am, '' he said and I agreed immediately, without any negotiation first.

The price of a hundred thousand, I think is still reasonable, even though there is no official tariff applied.

''OK, sir.'' I said. He grabbed my luggage and put it in his taxi.

''Yes, Mom. I also did not dare to carry passengers. Because, for me, the safety of that passenger, number one.'' he assured me.

''Good, that's right sir. Do not just chase the deposit, the driver speeding as he pleases, I said to the agek man.

In a matter of 40 minutes, the taxi I was riding, arrived at my mother's house.

I see, Mom's face is so happy to see me coming. Moreover, Fira, immediately ran into his grandmother's embrace.

Mom tried to carry him but it didn't seem strong.

''Oh, my grandmother's granddaughter is already a girl. I'm not strong if grandma wants to carry.'' said mother, frankly.

Fira immediately cipika-cipiki with her grandmother.

''Grandma, Fira is thirsty, I am Fira, outspoken and spoiled.

''Oh my gosh, let's make iced tea or melon syrup. Surely Fira likes.'' said mother offered Fira.

''You....Grandparent. Fira likes melons, '' her chirps are cheerful.

''But maem first yes. Grandma was cooking fried catfish just as fried tofu. Clear vegetable spinach.'' call mom. But Fira was silent.

If it's eating, Fira's a little difficult. He prefers to eat only crackers. At home, I like to cook well. But he is hard to be told to eat.

''Come here maem first. Just drank the ice melon.'' persuade mom.

''Granny bribe yes.'' said mother volunteered.

''Don't want to, Grandma. Fira house. Fira's not hungry yet.

''Fira, if you don't want to eat, Mami will say it's the same good father. Let father be good, do not want to take a walk Fira again.'' I said scare him.

Geez..apparently potent also my threat. He wanted to, instantly.

''Who's a good father?'' mother asked me, full of astonishment.

''Usually, there's my boss, he likes Fira a lot. When playing at the office, he was cool playing in my boss's room.''I replied, a little stubborn as well when explaining it to my mother.

''How's Arga doing, healthy right?'' ask mother.

''Alhamdulillah, Mom. He is healthy, I replied.

''You guys are okay, right? Don't like fighting. If there is nothing pleasing between the two of you, talk carefully, said the mother, warning me.

I just heard the mother's advice.

''But ma'am, I have not been able to earn the inner living of Mas Arga for a dozen years. Do I not have the right to ask for a divorce, if it is like that?!'' (If only I had the courage to say that, to my mother. But I am still trying to muster up my courage. I don't know when the courage was gathered, I don't know myself).

***

Suddenly Boss Robert makes a video call to Fira's phone.

''Mi...good father, video call, '' he said as he handed the phone to me.

I just refuse the call. But, I refused many times, he tried it many times as well with his video call.

''Lift, why is it.'' asked mother.

''No need to ma'am. He wanted to talk to Fira. He is busy again. Earlier, on the ship he video called my boss, but his phone was off. So, he called back. That Fira was nosy, I said reasoned.

''May mother not be suspicious of my reasons.'' I murmured inwardly.

Anyway, what's Boss Robert calling back for. Sure, if he calls back, he's not home.

''Mi, Fira wants to talk to you good father.'' Pinta Fira.

''I said ''Yes, '' I handed him the phone.

''Hai ''Hi....Fira.sorry yes earlier Fira phone, good dad's phone, no longer active. Because good dad is doing office chores.'' he told Fira.

Fira seemed to nod her head.

''Fira where is this.'' asked Boss Robert.

''Again at grandma's house, '' she replied.

''Mampus me. I know I'm out of town. But, let it be. I was also in a cold war with him. Very concerned, he wants to know or not, I'm out of town. If he wants to fight, what right does he have. Just Arga, no matter where I go. It's stupid!'' I thought in my heart (connect)
