Make Kids
Nara took Asma a little away from the room, with the intention that the conversation would not be heard by others who were not interested.
“What do you mean, Asthma? Why ask for custody of Azam? Didn't it fall into Gani's hands according to the court's decision? Are you ready if there are consequences, later?” nara's word is full of emphasis.
“Mean, Brother! I beg you, let me make a statement on the stamp to hand back custody of Azam to me! I'd rather take care of my own child than I can't have any more!”
“Asma, there are still many ways to heal, and there are still other ways to have our own children, why are you so desperate like this, anyway?”
“Kak! The presence of Azam as an encouragement for my life and, I will still try to heal. If only later I could have another child, anyway, there is no harm in him having a sister later?”
“But, I don't like it when the guy comes here often, just for the reason of wanting to see his son and see you again!”
“No, it won't happen, he already has a wife again!” said Asma while pointing at Usfi with her chin. Nara turned her gaze at the woman she had not seen at all, as she focused on Asma kneeling down in tears.
“Dia?” asked Nara in disbelief, she underestimated Gani's choice of woman, as Asthma's replacement.
In his eyes, Asma was much prettier, making his heart calm because Gani did not defeat him, he was sure that it must be his wife who could not possibly be jealous of the simple-looking girl. However, he was annoyed at the thought of his wife's illness which, made them unable to have children. Actually no problem for Nara but, doing the surgical removal of the cyst, really requires a lot of cost.
“Yes! She's Bang Gani's new wife, and they now live in Borneo, they come home once a year. So, he won't be able to come here often!” Asma said excitedly, until Nara finally nodded and agreed to his wife's wishes.
The couple approached back to the living room and sat in their seats.
“So, Gan, I have agreed that if I want to take custody of Azam for Asthma, I promise to finance the school and its needs!” nara said after sitting beside Asma, she circulated a glance at everything including Usfi.
Instantly, his heart seemed to stop beating, he saw Usfi similar to a woman he knew. He had seen his face in a photograph, during a meeting at the company office where he worked, a few months ago.
One of the company's new products, in the form of environmentally friendly plant fertilizing materials, increased its sales thanks to the kingdom's mutual benefits, with the woman-led school.
Marketing managers have used their schools as samples of their products, vegetable plants cultivated by children, very suitable and very real benefits and development. In other words, Usfi was not an indiscriminate woman that he could take for granted. Moreover, when the manager explained how the background and, the severity of the establishment of the school to date, showed its toughness.
However, Nara does not need to state everything to everyone, after all no one knows about the cooperation, because of the agreement between Usfi school and the company where Nara and Asma took shelter, he said, nor did he directly come to visit, but only sent a messenger. So, Nara is convinced that Usfi does not know him.
Meanwhile, Gani looks at Azam and Asma and Nara in turn.
“Please if that is your will, but, let's see how Azam, he wants nothing to stay here with his mother!” said, relax.
Gani then invites Azam down from the lap of Usfi and asks him to choose between himself and Asma.
“Azam want to come with Dad!” azam said steadily, she did not turn her head at Asthma one bit, making the woman cry loudly in Nara's arms.
After a moment of crying, she wiped the remaining tears clean and knelt beside her son, until their height was level.
“Azam, it's Mom, Son! Mother who has given birth to you and breastfed you to grow up, come with mother now yes, later Mom will give you toys and also food, you want to go for a walk anywhere you can, we have a car now!” said Asma while hugging and gently rubbing her child's head.
Azam saw Asthma at a glance with a plain look typical of children who do not understand her mother's speech.
“No .... Um same Dad also have a car!” azam said as if proud, the five-year-old walked up to Gani and leaned back. For him the atmosphere around became strange, because of some people he did not know. It had been a year or so without meeting the family, making it seem like a stranger to the house he used to live in.
“Azam! I'm your mother, son! Your mother! Did you forget?” asma said a little loudly while holding her son's hand. In any case, Azam was a child he had given birth to with great difficulty and the child was more entitled to his birth mother.
However, Asma did not know that the memory of children of the age of Azam was very bad in adults and the attitude of the woman, it made her cry because of fear of her own mother. She thought Asma would do evil to her, that was how helpless children felt, they would cry whenever they were uncomfortable at something around her.
While Usfi still did not know what to do, but, seeing Azam weeping, made his maternal soul disturbed and asked Asma not to impose her will. However, the suggestion actually made the woman who had given birth to Azzam was inflamed.
He stood up, looked at Usfi with a sharp gaze and said, “Who do you dare to interfere in the affairs of people here? You, do not be the wife of Bang Gani yes, continue to forbid me to persuade my own son!”
“Not so I mean Tea, in my opinion, Azzam is good, the person from whom we speak well ..love his understanding first! Just give her a choice, children are the same as adults, where there are humans who want to be forced, all things that are not sincere or forced at first, it is not delicious!”
“You are, you know Azam, you are his mother? Same marriage Bang Gani just yesterday afternoon already arrogant!”
“Maasya Allah ... Actually what is the same relationship marriage and no arrogance at all, my fault where, anyway?”
The tension between Asma and Usfi, making Gani advise his wife to shut up, he then lifted Azzam in his lap. Gently rubbed his son's back and smiled, looking into his loving eyes. He knows that looking at a child should be with a gaze full of Grace, not full of curse.
“Azam, look at your mother, you remember not used to be very often carried and mimic milk is also the same mother?” he said, Azam looked at Asthma expressionlessly.
Azam was silent.
“Azam want to take a walk to the same beach to the pool every day? Well, if here, near the beach and swimming pool, surely Azam will often be invited Ibuk there, want?”
Now Azam nodded as he looked back at Asma, his face starting to sparkle.
“Dad, want to go far to Pontianak again .. not Daddy do not love, but, Dad is now busy and can not often take you to the Hotel! Later, if Dad comes home, Dad will come here. Or ... If Azam has grown up, can come alone and we can stay in the hotel again, okay?”
This time Azam looked at his father with a complicated gaze, then looked at Usfi as well.
“But, Azam wants to come with Dad, later his mother is fierce!” said again.
“Ngak ... no fierce mom!”
All was silent and suddenly the atmosphere became silent.
Asma went to her room and picked up the children's toys she had apparently prepared beforehand. He gave the toy to his son who was greeted cheerfully by the boy. Azam came down from Gani's lap.
“Well, if Azam likes toys like this, I'll surely love Azam!” a lot he said with a satisfied smile.
“Well, now right, he wants .. provided it is full of tenderness and understanding, he becomes easily persuaded, not by force,” said Usfi and Asma did not respond.
“Yes! Already, then, I should leave quickly, before Azam changed his desire again, if the issue of a statement letter, I will make it if it is there and I send it by post only!” Gani said while standing up.
“Good, Bang! If the matter is up to you, the sooner the better!”
Gani said goodbye, so that Asthma does not speak bad things, about their relationship so far, children do not have the right to know the problems that befall both parents, except when they are adults later. In adulthood, they can determine what is good and right and who is wrong between their parents.
Although, in divorce there are always truths and mistakes that occur but, still they do not have to tell the problem to children who are not old enough. Basically every child only needs to get a story that is useful for his future life.
After saying goodbye and greeting, Gani and Usfi went out in unison, without turning to Azam, for fear that the boy would see his father and his umma go away, he will cry and the farewell will be even more sad.
Usfi opened the car door automatically and sat behind the wheel, considering the key was still in his hands. Gani did not forbid the actions of his wife who took the initiative to become a driver, because she still wanted to calm down and cool down. He did not expect if his arrival to visit became a farewell event with his son.
“Kenpa, Bang? Sad?” ask Usfi while pointing the vehicle towards the street.
“Hmm ...” said Gani by muttering, leaning back and having both eyes closed.
“We look for a hotel yes, Bang! Tomorrow we go home, especially now it's Ashar!”
“Hmm ...”
Usfi turned his head for a while, returned to focus on the streets to find the location of the hotel he had ordered, through his smartphone.
“Abang want entertainment, let's not be sad?” she said again, asking her husband to talk so as not to be lonely.
“Hmm ...”
“Bang!”
“Hmm ...”
“Yuk! Make another child!”
“Hmm .... what?” Gani said while opening her eyes and looking.
Usfi chuckled while turning his car towards the hotel according to his destination.
Meanwhile, Asma had just realized something when she saw the departure of her ex-husband. She had not heard Gani forgive her or not, when she apologized in person earlier. After Gani's car was not seen again, she stepped into her room and cried for quite a while there.
Azam is busy with a new toy with Lilis and Adit who take the boy to a catfish pond next to their house.
Nara followed Asthma who was crying quite loudly in the room, then, sat down next to her.
