The Substitute Mother?
10. Go home

After the departure of the Ocean and Ariana, Tatiana again expressed her taste through tears. His life now feels completely empty. His fighting spirit had also been exhausted without rest. Especially after seeing Ariana's attitude that somehow suddenly changed to her.

Though usually Ariana can not be far from him, but now ... Ariana seemed to have left. Change with another figure. His attitude is no longer warm. Usually, Ariana's warm and cheerful attitude can be her solace. But everything has been different. Is this a sign that Tatiana will soon resign from this unhealthy marriage?

Meanwhile, on the way, the Ocean was unceasingly thinking why Ariana's attitude seemed different than usual. He who was so close to Tatiana, why suddenly changed.

"Ana why didn't you just scold Mother?" tanya Ocean curious. Though usually Ariana will always stick with Tatiana, but Ariana actually looks like dodging. He did not want to linger near Tatiana. The ocean feels more guilty about Tatiana.

"No papa" replied Ariana, turning her gaze to the car's glass window.

"But Ana can't. Mother is sad again. Grandma just died. Mother must be very sad," said the Ocean makes Ariana down sad.

"Will the dead not come back, Dad?" ariana asked, looking at her father.

The ocean sighed then nodded.

"Just like mom?" asked Ariana and Samudera nodded back.

"But Ana's mom can come back?" asked Ariana confused to make the Ocean gasp. Ariana really is her mother.

"Na, Aunt Triani is not a mother. But she's a mother's twin sister. If Ana's mom had really left and wouldn't have come back. I often take Ana to my mother's grave" Samudera explained. He completely forgot to explain the matter to Ariana.

"So that mother wasn't Ana's mother?" ask her with round eyes.

"No. Ana should have called her aunt, not mother. Her name is Aunt Triani. Aunt Triani is very similar to mother because Aunt is a twin mother. Mother Ana is now Mother. But Ana still has to remember and pray for mother yes," said Samudera explained. Didn't feel the Ocean car had entered the yard of the Ocean house. Seen there already stood Triani who immediately developed his smile when he saw the Ocean and Triani who came down from the car.

"Where are you guys from? Why isn't anyone home?" ask Triani.

Hearing that question, made the Ocean let out a long sigh.

"We're from Tiana's house. Yesterday his mother died and was immediately buried in the afternoon," said Samudera Weak.

"What's? Oh, my God, I'm so bad about your wife, brother. Because of me, you didn't know your mother-in-law died. I'm sorry, Brother. May your wife not be angry with you because your time has been seized by our wishes" Triani said.

"It wasn't your fault. It's all fate. Anybody who wants to go to the water park is Ana. You just want to realize his wishes," said Samudera while opening the door.

"Ana, it's the same mom. I'm helping you get ready for school, yes" Triani said.

"Aunties. I told Ana that you were her Tante, not her mother," Samudera said to Triani's surprise. Triani pulled her hair back because of the wrong behavior.

"sorry. Maybe it's because I have an inner bond with Ariana that makes me think of her as my own daughter."

The ocean does not heed the words of Triani. He went into the room to get ready for work. Ariana is preparing for school with the help of Triani.

A week has passed. Tonight tahlilan yasinan 7 days of Tatiana's mother's departure just finished held.

"You rest in the room, son. Let Mama be the same as the others who cleaned things up. You must be tired" said Tatiana's mother-in-law. A week had passed, but the cloud in Tatiana's face did not move away.

"What Aunt Sakinah said is true, Dek. Let mbak and the others take care of everything" Triani who attended that night chimed in. While the Ocean was greeting the guests on the terrace while thanking them for their arrival.

After all the guests came home, the Ocean immediately looked for Tatiana. Entering the room, the Ocean immediately visited Tatiana who was standing facing the glass window.

The ocean immediately wrapped her hands in Tatiana's stomach making the woman jerk.

"Wanna eat?" tawar Ocean.

Tatiana shook her head without making her voice.

"But you haven't had dinner. This week, my mother said you don't eat regularly. We eat huh? Or do you want a bribe?" tawar Samudera while looking at the beautiful face of the wife who looked pale. Even his lips looked dry and chapped. The ocean could not see his wife in this way.

Instead of responding, Tatiana let go of the Ocean's embrace and walked towards the bathroom.

"Na, you're still mad the same, Mas? I'm really sorry. Mas do not know if you call because hp Mas missed in the car," said Samudera who really regretted not being able to attend when he was in need.

"I'm not angry, Mom. Free angry. Who am I anyway? Only insignificant people force their way into your lives. If there is no interest, it is better to leave. "

"Na, it's not like that" Samudera's gunman, but Tatiana's out in the bathroom.

When Tatiana came out, she thought the Ocean was gone, but she was still sitting on the bed. Indeed this week the Ocean accidentally slept in that house. While Ariana was forced to follow the mother because she did not want to trouble Tatiana who was grieving.

"Na, we're going home?" bujuk Ocean.

"You go home. I still want to be here" said Tatiana who is still heavy leaving the house. Memory after memory of her being together with her mother flashed. There is a sense of longing that infiltrates. If he did not get married, he would have spent more time with his mother.

But Tatiana knew, there was no point in regret. Wasn't this his own wish at the time.

Tatiana had indeed mengikhlaskan the departure of the mother, but still, the sense of tightness was still there. It felt like just yesterday he was spoiling with his mother, but today he has lost everything.

"Didn't you miss our house?"

'Our house? Which house do you mean? Isn't that Mas's house and the late Triana.'

But that sentence was only Tatiana's voice in heart. His tongue was too thick to speak.

"Na, tomorrow Mas will go to Bali to attend and fill the seminar for 5 days and a week at most. Next week Mas will fill a workshop in Surabaya. The time is also approximately the same, 5 to 7 days. It will calm down when you are home. Mas will also ask Una to accompany you while Mas is away so you will not be alone. You must miss Ariana too, right? Would you like to come home?" coax the Ocean again.

Actually Tatiana was reluctant. But she still has responsibilities both as a wife and as a mother. Tatiana who also wanted to make sure something was forced to agree.

For a while he would still hold on to his mother's request before he died, which was to try to maintain his household. But if he felt he could no longer, he was determined to really go.

Seeing Tatiana nod, the Ocean developed its smile. She hugged Tatiana tightly.

"Thank you, Na. I'm sorry I let you down" he said. The ocean was happy. Although Tatiana was still cold, she did not matter because she realized, she was completely guilty.
