...Apparently, there is something heavier than grasping a happiness, which is to release it if you are happy and happy is not one goal ~ Raina Amelia...
... ------------------...
I really had a day as a single parent of both my children. There is a sense of relief in this heart as well as a sense of guilt when looking at my two children.
Dozens of years of living with him is not hypocritical if I am currently feeling lost, all habits that have been passed will become memories.
Sometimes it's funny, maintaining alone is painful, but letting go is hard.
"maaah" hugged me.
"h, brother, have you gone home, son?" while I wipe away the tears that have been flowing.
Ara nodded "from earlier, Ara also said hello but mama did not reply"
"sorry mommy is a pretty boy" as I forced a smile.
Ara changed her clothes, while Farhan had gone home from school even now he was playing in front of the house.
"mah, brother and sister Farhan invited papa to go for a walk, can you?" asked Ara with a smile.
why should I smile? are you happy, boy?.
I paused for a moment, then I nodded "that's your papa, when mama is not good"
"thank you dear mama" while hugging me again.
My two children had lunch, and before long his father came on a motorcycle. It feels like driving them to the front but what is the power of this heart is unable to meet.
"mama, you go first yes" said Farhan by kissing my hand also followed by Ara .
"be careful, baby"
"assalamu'alaikum"
"waalaikumussalam"
The Author POV
While elsewhere, Ara and Farhan are already with her father, Bram looks very happy when walking with his son.
Bram takes his two children to a cafe in the mall but when they choose food suddenly a woman comes.
"hellooo dear aunt" he said while sitting in an empty seat in front of them precisely next to Bram.
Ara and Farhan were instantly startled, his face instantly turning into gloomy, Ara looked at her father with a look of disappointment. Bram knows it, but what can he do?.
"a long time ago?" say that woman again.
Ara was forced to nod while Farhan chose silence.
"Ara dear, in Salim dong tantenya" Bram's pinta who gets a sharp gaze by his son.
"ah yes" Ara immediately followed what was asked by Bram, as well as Farhan
"eh don't call Auntie dong, call mama ya" said the woman
'dikasih heart ask heart' in the heart of Ara who was already very upset with the two people who were in front of him.
"no Aunty, our mother at home, our mother is just one. namely mama Raina Amelia" this time Farhan who spoke while Friska who got the speech immediately smiled wryly.
"dear, call me then, okay?" bram's Advice.
"yayya" sahut Ara
"sister, Farhan wants to go home" he whispered, then replied by Farhan "same deck, but brother does not know the way home .we resigned yes, than we lost later"
Finally they resigned, after eating they were invited to shop, buy clothes, shoes and even toys.
Maybe it was a way to take the hearts of his children, but without Bram and Friska knew the two Bram children were not at all devastated by it all even though they received gifts from Bram and Friska.
"you like?" bram asked and both of them nodded expressionlessly
"where are we going?" ask Friska
"GO HOME!" sahut them together
"don't you take a walk?" ask Bram
"no, pa... Ara tomorrow is there----" said Ara hanging because she was confused as to what reason to say.
"there's a repeat, isn't there brother? brother said tomorrow there's a math replay, right?" farhan said as he blinked his eyes.
Bram and Friska looked at each other and Friska nodded, after which they were driven home by Friska and Bram in Friska's car.
The two wanted to drive her home, but Ara refused, she was afraid that if her mother saw then her mother would be angry, maybe not angry but would be hurt and Ara did not want it to happen.
"come down here pa" said Ara at the intersection
"can't we get to the house, baby?" ask Friska
"sorry ma'am, but we have to guard the heart that is still injured, assalamu'alaikum" said Ara while descending.
Ara and Farhan chose to walk from the intersection of the alley, already seen there was a woman almost middle-aged was waiting for his two children to come home and they ran and hugged him.
The author POV end
It was late in the afternoon, I chose to sit on the terrace to wait for my son to come home. I don't know what time they come home or they don't even come home today, but I just want to welcome them in front.
Suddenly I saw my two children running and hugging me
"mamaaa" they said.
"mama's boy why the road? where are you papa?" my confused while looking at the back of them turned out there was a car just walking after seeing Ara and Farhan had reached the front of the house
"there was an ib----" said Farhan
"The air is very cold mah, Ara is not strong so Ara chose the road" said Ara while blinking her eyes at Farhan.
I saw that, and I realized it seemed like they were deliberately guarding my heart. I don't feel my tears dripping down to see it
"mama don't cry" said Ara while Farhan immediately wiped away my tears
"mama did not cry dear, mama was just moved it turns out that my mama's child is already big yes" I said with a smile.
I glanced at the paperbags they were carrying "ciye there's some shopping"
"mama don't like it? let Farhan throw it away"
"yes, we throw it away"
I shook my head "don't baby, why should it be thrown away? let's see yuk, go in first dong..."
Then we went into the house and my mother and father were waiting for them.
"opa... Oh, um.."
"wah opa's granddaughter has come home, out of shopping nih kanya"
"there's a good-ass Opa" giggling
"husst gabby it dear"
"however, at first it was just the same papa aja three of us, Farhan happy dong but suddenly came aunt nyebelin, pretentious pake nyogak shopping all" said Farhan at length
"Farhan!!!" snapped Ara while glaring
Farhan immediately closed his mouth and looked at me "sorry Farhan ma, Farhan accidentally"
"i stroked his head "why should I apologize, dear? it's not wrong, son" I said.
