The Household Ark
Rina

there is a term that says there will be a sun after a storm.

presumably the term is indeed true. after a night of heavy rain.this morning the sun shines brightly.

Shanti has been busy in the kitchen since morning, she prepares all the needs of her son and husband.

Meri himself was granted permission to rest because of yesterday's match.

"Mira this hunt is noon. You'll be late Lo..."

Shanti screams from the kitchen calling Mira who was a bit of a misfortune this morning.

"you why the hell can bad luck not usually like this?!"

"last night PR Sampek at 11 pm Bu. will be bad luck dech!"

"that's why PR was taken by noon after school so you don't sleep last night."

"iya Bu. usually also does that, but then we will watch the Meri Bu game. so Mira does not take PR."

"yes, the hunt is over and the hope continues to go directly."

"yes.. Loh Where's Ma'am?!"

Mira turned to the right and left looking for her sister.

"still sleeping.he's off today.the school gave him permission!"

Mira just nodded her head while finishing her breakfast fried rice.

"yes, I'm leaving first, ma'am!"

"yes be careful on the road. don't speed with the bike."

"get ready, boss!"

Mira immediately grabbed Shanti's hand and kissed her with reverence and she left for school.

the clock shows at 10 p.m. Ridho had been busy in the warehouse since early morning.

while Meri has not yet awakened from her sleep, making Shanti a little anxious because it is not usually Meri like this.

although exhausted he will definitely wake up no later than 8 am.

but it's very late but there's no sign of Meri getting up yet.

finally Shanti decided to wake him up. he immediately went into Meri's room and approached her in bed.

"Dear wake up yok.. You haven't eaten Lo from morning!"

with a slight shake of Meri's body, Shanti tried to wake her son.

"what time is it, Mom?!"

while wriggling Meri replied, even with eyes still closed.

"it's almost 11 o'clock! what are you hungry for?!"

"hungry the ma'am. but sleepy and tired of jugan."

"yes wake up first take a warm bath and continue to eat. later you can go to sleep again!"

"mmmmm..."

eventually he got out of bed.

"mother has prepared warm water in the bathroom.you take a shower first yes. let the aches in your body disappear."

"yes Ma...!"

with her eyes slightly still closed Meri dragged her feet into the bathroom.

Shanti just shook her head at the behavior of the child

he also immediately got up from his seat and cleaned the Meri bed. After that he went to the kitchen to prepare Meri food.

after finishing the bath and changing clothes Meri approached Shanti at the dining table.

"Mom..cook what?!"

"that's mom's already prepared your favorite egg chili and spinach soup."

"wah fun..so the hungrier I am!"

"he ate it first!."

Meri immediately ate the dishes on the table.

"Mom! yesterday there was Jojo and Kawanya at the match place!"

"yes, I met her too!"

"Mom! said friend om Jojo she used to be mother's best friend. is it true so Mom?!"

"Shanti suddenly coughed choking on her own saliva hearing Meri's words.

"mom's okay?"

Meri immediately offered a drink to Shanti.

Shanti immediately grabbed it and drank up the contents of the glass that was thrust Meri.

"who said we were friends?!"

"om it! what's his name. I forgot"

"owh yes Max! yes Max if it's not wrong..."

"have you guys had a chat, Mer?!"

shanti asked curiously.

"yes Ma'am for a moment. she gave me a cold drink back then.!"

Shanti was silent as she continued to do her gear that was wiping the dishes.she thought about what the real meaning of Max's actions was.

first he made small talk with Ridho asking Mira.

and then he spoke to Meri telling her they were friends.

what Max's real purpose is.

"Mom! why are you quiet?!"

"nothing is.! quickly you can use it, after that if you want to sleep again is okay."

"i'm not sleepy, ma'am, my body is also not as sore as it was this morning."

"owh yeah already. after this mom will go to the store to buy some home supplies."

"i'm coming, Mom! bored of being alone!"

"can. spend it first so after it is settled. mom wants to get ready first."

"okay mother!"

Shanti immediately got up from there leaving Meri who was eating. she immediately got ready to go to the store.

when they arrive at the convenience store that is indeed the largest in the area.

Shanti immediately chose some of the needs of the house that was already exhausted.not to forget also he bought some snacks.

The guni excitedly helped her pick out some items.

until suddenly Meri hit someone because it was too busy choosing to make him not pay attention to the road.

"i'm sorry Aunt Meri didn't mean it."

meni helped pick up the luggage of the woman he hit earlier.

"yes, no papa. Aunt didn't see that either."

"what's the matter Rin?!"

the voice of a man behind them made Meri and Rina turn their heads together.

"i was hit by this kid, but no papa."

"om Max's! how is it here too?!"

"Give me?! you're not in school?! what are you doing here?!"

"i'm off today, so I'm shopping with mom!"

"do you know each other?!"

Lina was wondering why her fiance could know Meri.

yep! Rina is Max's fiancee. They are betrothed by both of their parents.

Max turned his head left and right as if ignoring Rina's question.

"where's your mother?!"

"that!"

Meri pointed at Shanti who was busy choosing spices on a shelf not far from them.

because it's too serious Shanti is not aware of the incident Meri hit Rina there.

"mother...! "

shout Meri calling Shanti.

Shanti just turned her head and suddenly her body became stiff to find her son was standing together with Max.

they also approached Shanti who just stood not frozen as if she did not respond to their presence.

" this mom has Max's mom's friend"

Mira resuscitates Shanti by slumbering in her arms.

"o.. oh... hi Max how are you?!"

shanti said hello to Max.

"i'm fine. You two?!"

"yes, I'm shopping for home necessities."

"hkheeem!"

deheman Rina's voice that had been ignored seemed invisible to them there.

"eh Rin. introduce this to my friend from High School named Shanti. and this is her son Meri."

"hi Shanti!"

Shanti reached out her hand to Lina who was also greeted by Rina to back her up.
