Becoming Like My Mother
CHAPTER 71

"Hm this is how young people today if they have met. I don't you care about." Dengus Mina pretended to be annoyed.

The two women of one generation laughed, "Sorry Mom, we're just glad we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Mina shook her head and smiled slightly. "Oh yes Mel, don't you want to go see your daughter today?"

"The intention is so ma'am, but I'm confused with who Aisyah is. I have to take care of Aidan."

"You're like anyone else Mel, I'm here." Said Alif who suddenly appeared making the three turn towards him.

"Can you take care of the baby?" Tanya Melati hesitated.

"Of course, why not? Even your brother's older than you. Besides Lulu, you want Lu to accompany me with my niece?" Alif looked towards Lulu.

"Yes Al of course." Answer smiled.

Indeed, since Lulu officially divorced with her husband her relationship with Alif is getting closer. Even Alif himself had declared his love. But until now Lulu still has not given the answer.

She is still traumatized and focused on her daughter. However, Alif had not hesitated to meet and play with Lulu and Asyifa. Alif knows maybe Lulu still needs time for everything.

Mina who already knows all is certainly very supportive of the relationship between the two. Especially now that Lulu has hijab and is good at household affairs. Alif also asked Mom for help so that the two became closer. As well as reassuring Lulu that he is the right man for Lulu.

"That's Melati, you don't have to worry." Said Alif relaxed.

"Okay, brother, thank you for bothering me like this."

"Don't worry Melati, she'll soon be your sister-in-law."

Suddenly Lulu's face flushed red, honestly deep down the love had been present for Alif. But seeing the background of Alif's family and himself made him feel like heaven and earth.

Once he said that he was not worthy of Alif, because he saw the status of a widow of one child and Alif who was a virgin. But Alif did not bother about that at all.

Lulu remained tight-lipped with her stance, but gradually seeing Alif's struggle that always captured her heart made her worry. He was determined to ask for time to make himself worthy of Alif.

Changing his attitude and appearance, trying to build a career and all the things that can make him deserve to be with Alif. Patiently Alif agreed and waited for Lulu to be ready.

"Oh, ma'am, are you making a cake?" Tanya Melati looked at the materials that were on the table.

"Dear, maybe you'd like to bring Farah too?"

"Well, ma'am, before I go I make a cake for her too."

***

Farah's eyes sparkled at the sound of the open door that turned out to be the Mother she missed was present. Melati gave a beautiful smile and immediately approached the child.

"Honey," he said, gently stroking his daughter's head.

"Mother..," she said, a smile came up even a little.

"Yes Farah, where's sick son?"

Farah shook her head, this was all she wanted. His sleep last night was not at all good because he did not see his Mother. And felt the caress that he so longed for.

"Mother brought you a cake, it's made by Mother and Grandma. You want to, right?" Reveal it by showing the paper bag that he had brought.

"Yes Mother, I like whatever you make for me." Reply pleased.

"But you ate the porridge first, baby. Then take the medicine, so that it heals quickly and can play again with Mother and Dede Aish."

"Darling you have to eat, remember to go home and play with Dede Aish. You know, Dede Aish misses you so much." He repeated his words.

"Well Mother," she said.

Fahmi smiled and looked at the intimacy of the two. He was also relieved, finally Farah wanted to eat his breakfast.

***

Farah had been in the hospital for a week, and today she was allowed to go home. His return was greeted enthusiastically by all his family, even the family of Mother Melati was present at his home.

Actually Farah was amazed because she did not find Mother Sasa and her family, but she did not dare to ask. Everyone who was in that house did not mention Mother Sasa at all.

Be he just shut up and play with his sister Aish. There are also Husein and Aidan. The once deserted house is now very crowded. He's just getting happier.

Humaira approached Melati who was preparing snacks for the little ones.

"Hi Mel, how are you?" Tanya Humaira was happy to see Melati. In fact, he and Aaz really miss their best friend this one.

"I'm so good Mai, how are you? And well, how was your college?" Glanced for a while and then refocused on his activities.

"Thank God, I'm good too. And for my college maybe next year I graduate. I'm a little leased to take care of the thesis." Maira was a little lazy about her college.

"Why?" Melati's forehead frowned, the article from the past its value with Maira is not too far away.

"Come away, Mel, I don't know. Even after this I was also confused as to where and what to be."

"Isn't there a company for your father and your brother. Why don't you just jump in there. Your major should be there."

"Yes, it's just that in the near future I'm still a little lazy." Lazy because from yesterday Azein had no news after deciding to continue his education abroad. Continue in the heart.

Indeed, the relationship between Azein and Humaira is quite close. Just as Melati was once close to Azein because of Aaz, Humaira was close to Azein because of her best friend.

However, because Azein who chose to continue his education made Maira moody. Azein knew about Maira's feelings for her, it was undeniable that until now Melati's name was still residing in her heart.

Therefore he chose temporarily to stay away from Humaira. It takes time to get rid of the feeling in his heart without forgetting. Also solidify his heart, that his love will be anchored to Maira.

"As far as you are concerned, you must not regret your decision."

"Yes Mel, just pray. I wish you success."

"Sure Mai,"

"Oh, don't you want to go to college or work?"

Melati chuckled at the statement that came from her best friend's mouth.

"With my married status and having two daughters, I will probably continue my studies. I just want to focus on my two daughters." Sluggishly.

Maira became guilty, she cursed her unbluffable mouth.

"Mel me-"

"Here is Mel okay. This has all been my path."

"You're a great woman Mela."

Melati smile. Then they decided to join the others.
