YOU'RE DUAL
Chapter 18
I prepared the children's favorite food, they loved squid so much, I finally made squid chili sauce and kale stir-fry his father's favorite.
"hmmmm fragranceiii" cried Ara approaching me to the kitchen.
"oh, brother, are you up, son?" I asked while stroking his head.
"already mamah, mama's cooking is very fragrant, Ara likes... mamah cook what?" peeking at the cauldron
"mama cook squid sambal" I said with a smile
"really?" it was clear that his eyes were already sparkling, I immediately nodded and he took his place at the dining table.
"kakaaak, why are you at the dinner table?"
"Ara was impatient mama, Ara's stomach was hungry once "his whine.
"dear, we'll eat soon, but Ara should call Farhan and papa first" I asked
"ready mama"
Before long everyone was at the dinner table, and there was no sound, everyone was still enjoying their meal.
After eating, we delivered Ara to the MTQ race, My tears came back to remember me who was nothing compared to my son who was now wearing a shar'i shirt and ready to take the race.
"mama why cry?" ara asked me
I shook my head and Ara noticed me. "mama doesn't cry" I said
"mama lied, it was her tears coming out" Ara said
"honey, these are tears of happiness. Mama is very proud of you, the spirit of son yes, you are a great child dear" I said
"doain Ara ya ma,"
"always son"
Soon, the MC called his name and he chanted the holy Quran very melodiously, I am very lucky to have it and I hope that he will help me in the afterlife.

Two days later,
We are already at that location, of course, to listen to the announcement of the MTQ champion.
Dag Dig dug it's like, but I know what's most stubborn is my own son. Plus the name of Ara has not been called as a winner even though this has entered the 2nd champion, only the first champion was announced.
"sorry, mah, pah, Ara did not succeed" Isak.
"who said? you are still the champion here" I said, pointing to my heart.
a few minutes later..
"well the first champion in the race Musabaqoh Tilawatil Qur'an adalaaaah.
I hugged my son, and gave him spirit, after which he went forward to reach for his cup.
I don't know how long he did not want to follow the MTQ again since he had been sick in the day before the race even though he had trained hard for several days. Then his teacher replaced him and since then he was angry and disappointed in his teacher.
"mama's proud of you son" I said in my heart.

A few days later my husband took us to his mother's house, it was only natural that he missed his mother, because we had not visited him for a long time.
📲 Dion
Rai, are you okay?
Suddenly the message went into my phone, tumben once right?
📱 me
yes, I'm okay.
Then there was no reply, there was actually a big question mark on my mind, what was this? I even had a negative thought on my husband, Dion could have seen him cheating again, but I pat it far for my son.
We were preparing to leave, but my husband had not yet returned from nowhere.
Ara came up to me "Mama, papa's a long time, huh?"
I shook my head quickly "no dear, maybe in a moment. Why? are you sleepy?"
"no mah, hoaaamm" said Ara
"yes, you guys go to bed first when papa comes home mama wakes up, okay?" say
"ready, do it" they answered in unison.
A few hours later, Bram came home from nowhere and I was lazy to ask.
"where are the kids?" ask her to see the deserted house
"on sleep, the papa over time he said" I said
Since yesterday's incident we did sleep together back to each other and I'm still my husband, it's only natural right? because of this heartache is still wearing very much.
"sorry but there is business" he replied.
"who would lie? and again, I'm not asking, sorry" I said.
Soon the children woke up from their sleep and we went to their grandmother's house .
"assalamu'alaikum" cried my children.
ceklekkk
"waalaikumsalam, neneeek's grandson" while hugging my two children.
"mother how are you?" I kissed the back of his hand.
"Alhamdulillah dear, come on in" said my mother-in-law.
her grandmother and granddaughter were playing together while I was making tea for ourselves.
"ekhemmm" I said while putting tea on the table, which was immediately dehemin wrong behavior.
how not? I'm watching him play on his phone with an obscure smile, a bitch, right?
"chat with who?" much
"oh this, anu, that--" he said the wave I immediately cut off
"cz! forget it, it's a drink" while leaving.
Honestly this heartache must be, but what power? there's no way I'm asking any more questions right now, 'cause this is in my in-laws' house.
Without his guilt, after I joined my son and my father-in-law Bram went back to playing with his cell phone.
"what's up, son?" ask my in-laws
"it's okay Mom" I said with a smile
Then my in-laws turned to see his son "Bram are you still busy with your phone?"
Mas Bram came to his mother "of course not Mom, you want me to go on a massage?"
"basic crocodile" my heart said.
"Bram you're married, is this how you appreciate your wife?" said my mother-in-law who was being stomped on by her son.
"why me, ma'am?" tanyanya wonder
"here mother says, if you love your wife because of the beauty of her face then your love will be more and more faded, because basically humans will get older and uglier. Love the beauty of your wife from her heart, and your love will grow. Your wife has been very tired of taking care of your children, do not you reply by hurting her heart. Mother thinks you are an adult you must understand what mother means" advised his mother.
Me and Bram were silent.
"what's mom cooking?" I broke the silence
"there's an eel caraboo, let's eat it now, you must like it a lot" holding my hand
"is she really mom? all right let us prepare" I said.
Karabu eel is a typical cuisine of the West Sumatra region. Not everyone knows because this cuisine is very rare, but I think this food is very delicious.
(as it is about its shape, aaaaah author so want)
I ate it voraciously, as did my son and certainly my husband.
Mother-in-law giggled to see the side dishes were gone unceremoniously.
"mom, forgive us, we're sorry" I said badly.
"hahahaha it's okay son, I'm happy that mom's cooking is up, you really like that mom deliberately cooked it for you" said my mother-in-law.
