Tough Widow
Proof, not promise

No matter what reason Hanan would make, he was currently in a very confusing phase. Between being honest and making Ayu angry and getting punished, or lying about the incident this morning. Really, I didn't expect him to do that. In fact, it has promised not to go with Chika unless there is something important, but in fact still violate it. 

What if Mom comes here?

Look at the clock hanging on the wall. I wish the needle would spin faster until morning greeted him again.

Tok tok tok tok 

The sound of knocking on the door from outside. Hanan just looked at him. His heart was racing like a marathon. 

''Ah, it must be an oma.'' Convince himself. 

Slowly, Hanan pulled away the blanket that had warmed his body for the past two hours. Still filled with doubt he swung his feet closer to the locked door. 

''But what if it's mama?''

Put down his hand that almost touched the knob. 

In the heart continue to pray that the figure behind the door is Missa's mother, not Ayu.

Whatever happens, I have to face it. 

Hanan opened the door, expelling the fear that made her unsettled. 

Breathe with relief. The one who knocked on the door was my aunt.

''Aden awaited the mistress in the dining room, '' said the friendly aunt. 

Hanan nodded. He came out to fulfill that call. Supposed to have dinner tonight with his family. On the left and right side there are his two younger siblings then in the front seat there is papa, while in front of him there is Ayu, but it feels strange when he can only look at a Winda bu. 

''At noon you did not eat. Now eat a lot.'' Bu Winda prepared a plate of rice complete with Hanan's favorite side dish. 

''Alright, Oma,'' Hanan replied tensely. 

He is noble to bribe food into the mouth. Forgetting for a moment the problems that befell. Without feeling nearly half he spent. 

''So your mama called, '' said Missa. 

Instantly Hanan chokes on food that almost gets into his esophagus. Miss Winda immediately gave me a glass of water. 

''Swallow, no one asked, ''' his reprimand was serious. 

Help Hanan take the tissue. Then, sit back in the place. Staring at snag grandson with a suspicious look. It was as if something was being held by the man. 

''If there is a problem do not hold it yourself, tell me the same oma, '' said Miss Einda while chewing her food. 

''There is no Oma.'' Hanan said nervously. Cold sweat soaked his face which made Missa increasingly suspicious of high levels. 

''Can you come home or stay here again?'' Miss winda broke the silence. 

''Rome, Oma,'' Hanan replied briefly. 

Because, he had to change uniforms, while at home Missa none of his uniforms were left behind. 

What kind of fear is this? I'm a man, I shouldn't be afraid of my mom. I have to face it, yes I am guilty and should not have avoided it. It will only make things more complicated.

Hanan drove out his frightened wolf. You must dare to face all that you created yourself. Even though he knew the risks were huge. 

Within a few hours, Hanan was able to sleep peacefully, even he had a good dream before the ringing of the phone spread his sleep. 

''Who the hell, call early in the morning?'' his gerrick. 

His hand stretched out to grab the flat object placed on the nightstand. Shift with the origin, because already memorize the location of the badge to receive. 

''Hello,'' Hanan said beginning the conversation. 

No answer from across there. 

Hanan felt that the person who contacted him this time also woke up the same as him. Ah, this is very disturbing. 

''Who is this?'' added ensure. Still the same, there is no answer to the short question. 

Hanan had to open his eyes that still felt heavy, then look at the name listed on the screen. 

''Mama,'' he said. 

''Waalaikumsalam,'' Ayu replied flatly. 

''Sorry, Ma. I just woke up.'' Hanan got out of bed.  

''Mama did not ask,'' cetus Ayu still pitched flat.  

The smell of anger was already smelled. Even though only through mobile phone Hanan knows if her mother is angry.

''I'll be home soon, Ma.'' Hanan turned off his phone quickly. He rushed to the bathroom to clean himself up. Ask Dzat who always gives the way of light to the lost like he is today, who is mired in lies. 

Hanan got off his bike. His feet refused to go to his aunt. 

''Mama is still there, Bi?'' ask Hanan to make sure. 

''Still, Den, ''' replied aunt assured. 

Though, I was intentionally long, but why did mama not leave for work. 

Hanan exhaled slowly. Throw away the fear before he enters. 

It seems Ayu and Angga are in the middle room, it has been predicted they are talking about Hanan who did not come home last night nor not permission.

''Morning, Pa, Ma,'' greeting Hanan politely. 

Take off his backpack and shake hands with Angga and Ayu alternately. 

The mood feels different. The morning that should be colored with new cheer turns gripping. It was as if there was hostility created between the mother and the child. 

Hanan sat down without being told. ''I'm sorry, Ma, '' he said. 

''For what?'' answer Ayu ketus. Adding the volume of tv when there is a tausiyah broadcast that talks about children who are ungodly. 

So, for those of you who often lie or make your mother angry immediately repent before death. 

A coincidence of the speech pierced Hanan's chest until it penetrated into the heart.

Instantly the tv went out, only a small sound from the direction of Alifa's room was heard. 

''I don't mean to lie to Mama, '' Hanan said with trembling lips. 

''Then what?'' pekik Ayu who ran out of patience. 

''Relax, Honey. You cannot be too tense like this, whispered Angga calming. 

''But Hanan has gone too far, Mas. He had lied and broken his own promise, Ayu snapped who could not control emotions. 

Hanan sat down in front of Ayu. Grabbing the woman's hand and kissing her. 

''I'm sorry, Ma. I promise I won't do it again.'' Hanan shed tears. 

He could feel what Ayu felt, must be very sad to have a child who was not obedient like him. 

''Never promise that you will not obey. Mama needs proof from you.'' Pulling his hand as if he did not want to be touched by Hanan. 

Hanan nodded in understanding. He lowered his head, did not have the guts to just look at the face of the mother who must be filled with anger. 

''Once again you make a mistake. So, don't call me mama, '' said Ayu firmly and left.

I don't know, his chest is too tight to accommodate the growing annoyance. 

Hanan. I took every warning from my mom.

''Forgive papa, Hanan. It's just for your own good. Papa doesn't want you to be too free out there either. Many cases that make papa anxious to have a teenage child.''

Pat Hanan's back slowly. 

''Papa hope you understand.''

Hanan hugged the father and thanked him for being reminded.

Hanan nodded again. ''Please, Pa, '' he said.
