Suddenly Mother
Episode 5 of Memory

Arin Pov's

I put my foot in here again. This building is my strongest reason for releasing Allea into her parents' arms.

I don't want to be the bad guy who separates the parent-child relationship.

"Dam. I've been missing her puffer cheeks for two days. Hixes".

Sometimes I think. What does a given name mean for my mother. Alesha Arin's. An epic series of names. Thought.

Mother what's my fault? why did you leave me here. Pelita Kasih Orphanage. Promise to pick me up if I don't cry or whine for a snack. But twenty-five years passed by and there was no news of you.

Mother. If only you knew. I often stand here. Front gate. Confusion. Waiting for someone I miss so much. Wish you'd come get me. Bring it to your new residence.

But until now you have never told me.

If I meet later I want to ask. Why leave me here? what's wrong with me? Then who's my dad? And where is he now?.

"Oh there's Arin. Come on in here it's gonna rain soon".

She's the caretaker's mother. We often call Mother Siti.

A loving face. But when we make a mistake. Seven days and seven nights always get his terrible scolding.

We often close our ears. Hates. At the omelin. But his hobby made him tick. Hehe.

I refuse to get into that old gray building. For sad memories always dance in my mind.

Sucks. When you remember, you often fight with Manda. The prima donna kid all over school and the neighborhood here. Damnit. I'm still upset if I remember.

"Why not go in? Do you hate that much about this house?".

"Hehehe. No Bun. Arin's been awkward here a long time".

"Mother is glad you're home. Do you have a problem?".

I'm silent. Exactly the guess of Mother. Sometimes I think, maybe Mother is a sharp psychic.

"Yesterday the new Manda from here. Her husband asked for a divorce". Mother Information.

Manda is two years older than me. Married to his college senior brother who incidentally the son of a property entrepreneur.

"It's not..."

"His husband's rich. Efforts everywhere. Loved her. Heckled. Love tai cat". Cut Mother with a annoyed tone.

I just smiled at me. Why are you so upset?. What happened to the Manda household?. Uh. That's none of my business. I shook my head at the curiosity.

"Aryn. Don't trust a man who speaks sweet words. It was time to go Manda. By the way as sweet as gall. Heh. You shitty guy". Mommy murmurs while opening the door with all her might.

I'm gasping. Mother was amazing when clenching.and then I frowned. Whatwasthat? as sweet as gall? Is it sweet bile? Hihahi. Mother is-just there.

"Good afternoon kids? Unfortunately, Mother has she taken a shower?". Mother sumringah.

The rapture of emotions overflowing for a second had changed. Mother of the fox is cunning. Always good at hiding the resentment behind her smile.

"Sudaabah". Answer children with typical toddlers.

"Mother there's an embassy. Tadaa. You miss Toyib's sister isn't?". Mother meledekku. I haven't been to this house in a long time.

"Youngpam. Brother Aliiiin". Their cries poured into my arms. I glanced at Mommy.

He just smiled. Then leave me with this five-year-old. Currently Mommy takes care of five toddlers. And three teenagers.

"Sister Alin is prescribing?". Aldo the white boy initiatively asked. I just nodded.

"Holtee. Brother Alin will sing nina bobo using gital yes". Salsa Pinta with sparkling eyes. I'm just smiling.

"So soon, my brother's picking up the phone". I left them.

Rio. Tumbens. Not usually this one man calls unless something important.
