EMBRACING LOVE
Summer Galauya

" My mother...." Summer woke up and kissed her mother's cheek.

" mother. why should there be a sister...?" Summer asked suddenly.

"Who said Summer would have a sister..?" Sarah asked back.

" My friend, at Elementari School, he hates his mother. Because after having a sister, her mother forgot about her and no longer paid attention to her" Summer said.

Sarah was a little surprised by her son's statement. Does that mean she doesn't want to have a sister...?

Sarah kissed Summer. The boy still hugged his spoiled mother. His head was buried in his mother's chest, the comfort provided by the touch of the child's mother tightened the bond of affection between them.

" My friend was often late to class, because before dropping off his mother had to take care of his sister first."

" Even sometimes he did not take a morning bath, also because his mother did not have time. My friend sometimes smells of acem.and his clothes are also tangled. anyway not really yes.."

Sarah listened to her son's curses. The seven-year-old has high concerns. Sarah must be able to choose the right sentence to respond to her son.

" What do you think about Summer?". asked Sarah slowly.

" If suddenly in your stomach there is a little baby, how? She will develop in your stomach, get bigger, bigger, bigger and finally appear in front of Summer as a sister. How's hh?" ask Sarah as slowly as possible. He wanted to see Summer's face first, then proceed in the other direction.

Summer's face changed. There were waves and turmoil in his heart that affected his facial water.

Summer lowered her head, not wanting her mother to know her true feelings.

" Meanings Summer should also be a big sister huh buk..?" Ask.

" yes, so that big brother is great.. He can be like a super hero, who will protect his baby brother or baby sister, his sister will be very affectionate brother, and the brother also remains his mother's first lover lo brother."

" A mother will not let go or ignore her first love. For him, a child is a diamond that must be guarded and cared for.

So even though she already has a sister, brother remains number one.?" Sarah leads Summer's thinking in an easier-to-understand direction.

While Summer was mangosteen, Sarah added. " A brother or sister will also be very useful when you grow up. The existence of a sister will be an unbroken friend despite different places or opinions. Can share the likes and sorrows. for example Summer is sick, there is a sister who will wait, for example Summer performing drama at school, there is a sister who will applaud her brother."

" But bad sister isn't buk..?"

" Yes not my brother. A little brother just doesn't know everything yet. He needed to be told by someone who understood, and usually the little brother had a great curiosity, so he asked a lot or touched things to treat his curiosity. so not naughty."

" ooo.. Can I make Summer a sister.."

" It's not my mother who did it. But Allah put it on your stomach.."

" If there is a sister, it must be really dear bandar ya.."

" There must be a sister in this house.. Summer isn't enough..?" Ask his son as if he still can not accept if his mother is pregnant and gave birth to children.

" When there's a sister, Summer wants a brother or a sister..?" Ask Sarah.

" eeee.. don't know.." The answer.

"Summer wants to pee first ah.." then Summer went to the toilet.

Sarah smiled at her son, she knew the heart of her own troubled son.

Sarah and Satrio have a wise son. Although his age is still very young, but it can be invited to think of adults.

...*****...

Not waiting for morning, that night Sarah tried to test her own urine. There are two clear red lines.

A smile spread on Sarah's lips. The shadow of a baby girl playing in her brain.

It feels complete to have more than one child.

When she gave up Satrio and just considered him an ex and already owned by others, but it turns out that even her husband came again in his life and gave all his time to them.

Which other delights do you deny..?

Now there is his second baby candidate, as they look forward to the good coming. And all given according to the right time. Sarah's already established career. Satrio himself was willing to settle in Taipei to accompany them, job requests in some online news were accepted, and again the blog he maintained every day produced a mongoose, even though he was far from the Motherland. That means no trouble at all. Satrio is also applying to several universities to get teaching hours. Hopefully facilitated.

Time passes according to the schedule set by God. Morning is welcome, afternoon is welcome. Spring passed and replaced summer. Sarah's back flat stomach now looks bloated. The first semester has passed, the critical period of pregnant women, does not matter to Sarah, Sarah's base if pregnant. Not excessive cravings.

" lager Sarah... This afternoon we had a general meeting. Sumua people are invited, including you must also come." said Jimmy. The man is still single. So good and loyal to accompany Summer's growth and development.

"Have I missed something..?" Ask Sarah.

" Didn't you read the bulletin..? notice was there last week." Said Jimmy.

" Ooh, it must be three days off, right..?"

" yes, that's it."

" Looking Sarah, there is still thirty minutes, we only need to bring a notula and pen, the rest there is mister Jimmy who will present, even if asked. But I think it's an annual meeting like always. The Owner wants to meet and greet. We'll come together."

" We wear work clothes..? " Ask Sarah.

" Meyo kuanse" said Miss Han.

" But you brought a change of clothes, didn't you..?"

" Yes, I brought it. But we will not change clothes. anyway this is not a house shirt, so it is still formal.we do not come to your party. Paiduo ni's.." Miss Han is a little upset because of Sarah's auto-geyel.

" I'm sorry, brother.thank you for the info, let's take it first."

Jimmy just smiled at the interaction of the two friends. It's always Sarah who's fussing but also she's the one who's gonna lose in the end.

For Sarah, it should not be denied that the single duo is so good and close to her life. Not wanting to hurt them with the hardness of his head. Because they are so valuable.

Two good people who are like their siblings care for and love Summer and herself selflessly. Those who bear witness to Sarah's struggle to raise a fatherless son by her side.

When Summer has a seizure during a fever in the middle of the night, it is Jimmy who will come to bring medicine and calm her down.

Jimmy even took Summer while she was on vacation to her grandmother's house in Japan. No doubt Sarah and Miss Han will join Jimmy and Summer's trip. If not the face of Summer who tends to arab-araban of course people think they are Father-Child. because both Summer and Jimmy they are so attached to each other. Very compact and koplax.
