Inside his room, Elfira was getting ready. Earlier this morning Erlangga contacted him and would take him to the man's house to meet his mother. Elfira was surprised to hear Erlangga's invitation, because all she knew was that their relationship was only a coworker. So, why Erlangga can take her to his house. Even to introduce himself to his mother. It's like a girlfriend who will be introduced to her prospective in-laws only.
Akh, Elfira thinks too far. Honestly speaking, from the deepest corner of his heart, Elfira began to feel at ease with the man. Erlangga's polite attitude and always appreciating Elfira made the woman fascinated with him. Even Anin was also getting used to the presence of Erlangga.
"Mother!" yelled Anin while banging on her mother's room door.
"Just enter, baby, no key!" elfira from her room.
Shortly after, the door opened and Anin was ready to wear a tunic and matching pants. The boy ran to his mother with his hijab.
"Anin also wants to wear a hijab like a mother," said Anin while thrusting the hijab in her hand to Elfira.
Elfira smiled at her adorable child. He crouched down in front of Anin to equalize his height and began to wear the hijab on his son.
"Done," said Elfira after finishing wearing the hijab on Anin. He then pulled Anin to the front of the mirror and showed the results to his son. "Where does Anin like it?"
"It's great, thank you mother," said Anin while hugging her mother.
"Yuk we wait for Erlangga at the bottom," asked Elfira then walked hand in hand.
...****************...
"Assalamualaik."
Erlangga knocked on the door and said his greetings. The door opened and Anin was standing there.
"Waalaikumsalam, o'm Eagle." Anin reached out her hand asking to be carried by Erlangga. Erlangga happily held the child while kissing Anin cheek to make the child kegelian.
"Of om, don't kiss Anin's cheeks and then Anin's powder runs out" Anin chanted in the middle of her laughter.
"Even after Anin was very beautiful, om so gales want to kiss Anin cheek continue."
"When did you come Er?" ask Elfira. While waiting in the living room, Elfira suddenly got a stomachache. Therefore, he was allowed with Anin to go to the toilet so that he did not know that Erlangga had reached his house.
"Just now," replied Erlangga while lowering Anin from her sling. "We're leaving now?" ask Erlangga.
"Come," exclaimed Anin with 45 spirit.
Now the three walked together to Erlangga's car parked outside the gate of Elfira's house. After the three got into the car, Erlangga immediately drove his car to his home. Because Wulan was already waiting for the arrival of Elfira at home.
Twenty minutes later, Erlangga's car entered an elite housing complex familiar to Elfira. The woman watched every road she walked. He felt he had entered this area when he drove Wulan home. However, Elfira thought that it was possible that Wulan and Erlangga lived in the same complex.
The Erlangga car stopped in front of a large house dominated by cream and white fence.
"This is right .. "the murmur of Elfira that can still be heard by Erlangga.
"Why Fir?"
"It's okay" replied Elfira.
Erlangga did not respond too much, he invited Elfira and Anin to enter his house. Just like Elfira earlier, Anin also felt familiar with the house.
"Mother, this is grandma's house, right?" anin asked while whispering in her mother's ear.
"I think so," replied Elfira who also whispered.
"You've arrived?" asked Wulan who was suddenly already in the living room.
Anin directly ran towards Wulan as soon as she saw the middle-aged woman.
"Grandma!" yelled Anin while running. Wulan greeted Anin and held her. And of course it makes Erlangga wonder. Because only this time he brought Elfira and Anin to his house, but why Anin acted as if he had known his mother.
"Anin how are you?" wulan asked Anin who was being carried by him.
"Good grandma, Anin misses grandma."
"Grandma miss Anin too."
"Mom" said Elfira, kissing the woman's hand.
"Do you know each other?" asked Erlangga in confusion.
"Elfira once helped and delivered mama home," he replied and Erlangga was just a mangosteen. "We go straight to the dining room yuk, you must be hungry already." wulan invited Elfira and Anin, followed by Erlangga behind him.
...****************...
After finishing lunch, Wulan invited Elfira and Anin to sit back in the gazebo behind the house. Wulan and Elfira chatted in the gazebo while watching Anin who was playing with Erlangga.
"I didn't think it turned out that the woman Erlang meant was you Fir. Tau that from the first I told Erlangga to take you to this house," said Wulan made Elfira furrow her eyebrows.
"meaning?" Elfira really did not understand Wulan's words. Why he should be introduced and brought to this house.
"Erlangga hasn't said anything to you?" Elfira nodded inexplicably. "Ish, you son of a bitch. Very slow in movement," Wulan scolded while looking at Erlangga. Really, Elfira doesn't understand.
"Oh yes Fir, you are still married or ... "
"I am the widow Ma'am," answered Elfira quickly, she understood the meaning of Wulan's question.
"Then your ex-husband?"
"He's in jail." Elfira explains her past to Wulan. How was her marriage, and how did she struggle to part with her ex-husband until he went to prison. Not to forget also he told how his struggle to get up and survive.
Wulan was moved to hear the story of Elfira. He did not think that the woman in front of him was a tough woman. Even though she had no husband and no one to support her, Elfira was still not discouraged. He kept fighting to make a living to survive. Elfira must also be the backbone in order to support her child and live as a single parent.
Wulan remembered how she used to live by her husband forever. The figure of Elfira reminds Wulan of her first self when she was young.
"Mother salute you, young but you don't want to depend on others. You are independent and you are a great woman," Wulan praised Elfira making the woman blush.
"Mom could have been, I'm so embarrassed." Elfira was embarrassed.
Wulan took Elfira's right hand and carried her into Wulan's lap and held her.
"Fir, I have one plea to you."
"What is Mom?"
"Married to Erlangga."
