Between Me and Your Mother
Unaltered

Melati who had just opened her eyes immediately woke up from her sleep when the sunlight began to enter through the glass window that had opened and dazzled her gaze.

"what time is this? why is it so bright"

Jasmine looks dizzy and surprised when she sees the alarm clock that turns out to have shown at 07:35

Either because of fatigue or because of heartache last night, Melati even fell asleep and even he woke up late. She couldn't even prepare her husband's breakfast and work supplies this morning.

Because his son was still asleep, Melatipun immediately went out of the room and intended to see the mother-in-law.

But when he reached the living room, it turned out that his mother-in-law was clean and was sitting relaxed while playing Reyhan's mobile phone last night.

"mother.." - Smirked

While the summoned one only glanced at a glance then turned his gaze on the mobile back.

"mom, did you shower?"

"of course you have, mother can make it if you have to wait for you to wake up. You slackers!"

"who helped me take a shower?"

"who do you think can help mom here besides mom's son?"

"oh.. and then Reyhan? now where is ma'am?"

"it turns out you really are a useless wife, can't you see what time it is? why are you asking where your husband is? you should know that it's already this hour, yes, your husband must be busy working and looking for money"

"sorry ma'am, my body is so tired, so I can't wake up as usual"

"helleh, alesan!" sarah's mother returned to focus on playing her phone.

While Melati was only able to sigh roughly and throw it away quickly. Eliminating the fatigue that had been tightening the chest because of the answer in-laws.

He prefers to go into his room and prepare to be ready for household shopping.

Melati chose to shop in a large mall located a little far from her home. Why this time he wanted to enter this mall. Usually, they only shop at the public market.

Melati walks casually with the Miko she put in the trolley she pushed. Choose one by one some items that he needs for kitchen purposes and others.

Because tired of walking around, Melati and Miko also stopped by a restaurant located on the ground floor of the mall. Since the morning they have not had breakfast, so Melati felt there was no harm if he ate there.

He ate at the resto mall. Because since becoming Reyhan's wife, she never once invited refreshing or just a dinner alone she never felt it.

When Melati was busy enjoying the dish in front of her, her eyes caught the figure of a man she knew very well was sitting together with a woman.

Mas Reyhan's? what's Reyhan doing here? And who's that woman? Why are they just the two of them?

Seeing her husband laughing with a woman, of course, makes Melati's heart feel burning.

Melati immediately stood up and approached him. But when he walked a few steps, suddenly a group of people in neat clothes came to sit and join them both.

It also made Melati express her intention to approach. And Melati's heart calmed down a little when she heard that they were all discussing work.

Yes, Melati was convinced that her husband was in the middle of a meeting outside the office. Until finally he chose to go home without greeting the husband for fear of disturbing.

A few weeks later.

But some days something has changed from the attitude of the mother to him. Yeah, it's been almost a week now Sarah's mom no longer wants to eat her cooking.

I don't know for what reason, Melati never knew. Once he asked directly to the in-laws, but the answer did not necessarily make his heart relieved.

Sarah's mother only answered that her food was not tasty. Isn't that a strange thing? Because from the beginning there was never a problem about the food he made. And even today Melati still make the same menu and cooking method as usual.

"father"

Miko's small voice was able to resuscitate the daydream of Jasmine. He stared at the door where a father and son were hugging each other.

Melati can only look at Miko. He was very sure that his son really missed playing and joking with Reyhan.

Because since there was the mother in their house, all Reyhan's attention was only on her mother.

"mas, you're home"

"yes, this is please put it on the plate and give it to mommy huh. mom must not have eaten, right?"

"yet"

"yes it's fast, mom's hungry later"

"yes, mas"

Without many words, Melatipun carried out her husband's orders as soon as possible.

When she finished, Melati joined her husband and son. He was so happy to see Reyhan take a little time to accompany Miko to play.

"have you made sure mom ate her food?"

"it's already mas"

"good, then I go to the room first huh" Reyhan said as he stood up and stepped inside

"mas wait!"

"what's wrong?"

"can we talk?"

"talk what? say"

"mm. not now, later that night when Miko is asleep"

"oh, okay.all right I'll go to the room first then"

Without a word, Reyhan entered their room. Leaving behind Melati who is still confused about Reyhan's cuey attitude this late.
