Tough Widow

Tough Widow
Come to the house


"Good morning" said Angga as Ayu opened the door. 


"Morning," replied Ayu flatly.


Unlike usual who greeted kindly, Ayu seemed to keep a distance with Angga who had just come to his house. 


"The kids are ready?" ayu asked Hanan who seemed busy putting her nails in the bag. 


"Before, Ma." Hanan shouted from the room. 


The goose entered without being told. He approached Ayu and stood behind the woman. 


"You why? Am I wrong?" tanya Angga felt guilty. He thought Ayu was angry because of her childish attitude last night. 


"No, I'm in a hurry" Ayu replied of origin. Shift his eyes in the other direction. 


Angga took Alifa's bag and took her out. Waiting for them on the terrace. 


"You don't have to bother. I can drive them myself." 


Ayu's words remained soft as usual, yet it was painful for Angga. 


"Why? Does this have anything to do with Ikram?" cetus Angga with a high tone, but also does not look angry. 


"No," answered Ayu briefly trying to pull out his motorbike, but was blocked by Angga who did not give way. 


"Then?" tanya Angga got closer and took the key of Ayu's motorbike. 


"We'll talk later, there's kids."


"You wait at home, let me take them."


Angga still kekeh take the bag belonging to Alifa and Hanan. Drive them to the car. 


"Hard-headed," Ayu grumbled as Angga also took Adiba and took him away. 


Maybe I can ask Hanan. 


Angga opened the car door and told his three children to come in. Pairing seatbelt for them. Make sure everything is safe. 


"Dik Diba is silent, do not fuss," said Angga softly that made the youngest immediately nodded. 


The car had split the road, Angga turned to Hanan who seemed to be silently looking ahead. 


"Why did you come home last night?" ask Angga. 


Hanan nodded without a sound. When it comes to the Ikram, he refuses to talk. 


"Why mom and dad?" tanya Angga is getting more probing. Convinced that a child cannot lie. 


"Papa just wants to see me and the sisters. But last night I didn't come out. So you just talk to your mom after that come home," Hanan explained like what happened last night. 


Angga mangut-mangut understood. 


"After that you and my mom went to bed?" ask Angga. 


Hanan. "I walked with my mom. Buy Japanese shoes and food at a restaurant near the school in Alifa. 


Both Angga eyes are perfectly rounded. 


"Japanese Restaurant?" tanya Angga made sure. 


Hanan nodded quickly. 


Angga patted his eel and then clucked. 


Gawat, lest Ayu see me and Nara in that place. I have to explain to him. 


After Hanan and Alifa's school, Angga returned to Ayu's house to explain everything. 


"Assalamualaikum, Mama," Angga's greeting mimicked the voice of a small child. 


I heard the answer from behind. 


Angga soon followed close to Ayu who was washing clothes beside the bathroom. 


"No, it's almost done anyway." Ayu held back the hand of Angga who almost touched her shirt. 


"Aren't you working?" ayu asked as she washed her hands leading Adiba forward. 


"I can't work if you act like this."


Ayu turned her body to stare at the soft-looking blue eye bead then smiled. 


"I'm used to it, you're too baper." Ayu continued her steps towards the living room chair. 


Seeing that attitude made Angga even more impatient to justify Ayu. If he had been his wife, he might have been taken to bed and stripped. Too bad, he couldn't have done that before doing the marriage contract. 


Angga sat beside Ayu. His hands extended to the side, embracing. 


"I've explained to Nara all night that I already have a future wife" he said seriously. 


"That's Nara, Mas. What about auntie Vinda? I'm sure he'll keep you with that girl. I don't want to be a barrier between you and her. Don't force his will. I'm a mother and I know what it's like to be challenged by my own child. Try to understand," said Ayu at length. 


Not that he does not want to fight for Angga's love that is too big for him, but must think of a mother's heart. 


Angga stood up from his seat took the suit that had been eaten and then came back to Ayu. 


"We just need to convince mom, that's all. Help me!" angga said pleading. 


Ayu could not bear to let Angga fight alone. 


"All right, I'll help you. But if Aunt Willa still disapproves of our relationship, I back off. Let's just say we are not a match," said Ayu calming. 


Angga smiled widely. Without asking for permission he hugged Ayu tightly. I don't know if it's a sin. 


"Let go, Mas!'' Ayu rebelled pinching Angga's waist to make the empu grimace. 


However, it does not make Angga release his embrace even tighten. 


"Depart or I won't help you" Ayu lirih threatened. 


Instantly Angga took off his embrace and tidied up Ayu's hijab which slightly deviated. 


"Today I'll take you to see mom." Angga uttered with complete confidence. 


Change a well-organized plan. 


Ayu nodded, she was ready to accept whatever would happen. 


Ayu is not grandiose. He wears a black dress that is decorated with silver sequins and a matching hijab. Having given birth to three children did not discourage the beauty of the woman, even the look on her face exuded an aura of true beauty. 


Ayu stared at the luxurious house in front of her from inside the car. Glanced at Angga who kept smiling towards him. 


"Don't be afraid, I'm with you." Angga was reassured. He came down and carried Adiba just like they were in other places. 


God, whatever path you give, I hope no one gets hurt. 


Ayu followed Angga's footsteps from behind. Saying greetings together. It looked as if the middle-aged woman who still looked graceful came out of the room.


Ayu immediately approached the woman and introduced herself. Don't forget to shake hands like a child with his mother. 


This is called Ayu. The woman who made Angga crazy. 


The goose is approaching. "If this is Adiba, Ma." Waving Adiba's hand in front of Winda. 


Bu Winda looked at Ayu with a cynical look without greeting Adiba who was in the sling of Angga. 


"Mama has breakfast?" tanya Angga melted the atmosphere. 


"Yet" replied Miss Winda briefly. 


"It just so happens that Ayu is good at cooking, she'll make us breakfast."


Angga blinked one eye giving Ayu a code. 


"Yes, Aunt. I'll cook for auntie and Mas Angga."


Ayu who is an adult does not feel afraid or nervous, even she is ready to accept whatever the decision of the woman.
