My Boyfriend Is An Alien
Episode 67: The Day of Luck

Sure enough until midnight, Maemunah and Alma could not sleep, they told each other about the events they went through for two weeks.

Alma told her story in Jakarta and Kazakhstan with Akio, and during the Olympics, when they were both gold medalists with another friend from Bandung named Banu. Alma also tells about Banu who likes him, about Banu who was beaten by Akio at the restaurant and also about Lidya who likes Akio, also about their farewell kiss.

Maemunah listens and occasionally comments and gives advice. As a mother, Maemunah knew Alma was jealous of Lydia, also could understand why Akio beat up Banu, they were both attacked by symptoms of acute jealousy, so they could not control their emotions.

Maemunah can draw conclusions from the story of Alma, if Alma and Akio still love each other, and can not see their partner liked by others. Of course it is natural as a couple, it would be strange if the jealousy is not there.

" From your story, it seems that Akio was indeed unfocused when spoken to by Lydia, which is why he couldn't dodge when Lydia suddenly kissed him".

" You must not be angry with him. Poor Akio, he's been sleeping separately with you for two weeks, but after coming home, you're sleeping alone".

Alma did not tell if in fact he and Akio sometimes steal time to be together while in a Jakarta hotel. But not while in Kazakhstan, because Akio roomed three with two other friends.

" Had the mother been in Alma's position, would the mother have easily forgiven the father even though the mother saw with her own eyes the father kissed the other girl who obviously liked him?". Alma asked her mother's opinion, if her mother was in the same position as her.

" Of course, I won't even be mad at your father, because I know it's not a kiss, but a kiss suddenly, between a kiss and being kissed it's different baby".

" The kiss is if both are conscious and equally willing to do so, whereas in the case of Akio and the girl, Akio does not want it and is in an unprepared state, arguably like a fit".

Maemunah still continues to defend Akio, making Alma wonder, why his mother was so defending his ex-son rather than defending her own child.

And swiped out, apparently before entering the room, Akio first met Maemunah and told him about Alma's anger, about him who was forced to sleep separately last night to do the advice of online car drivers. Alma was already mendingan not as jutek yesterday-yesterday, but it is still economical to talk to Akio, not as natural as usual. Akio asks the mother for help so that Alma can forgive him.

Akio promises to focus more on making things like yesterday with Lydia not happen again, either with the same person or with other girls.

Maemunah knows and is self-conscious if Akio, his ex-son is indeed very young, he is smart, handsome and also rich, so it is certain that there will be a lot of girls who like him. And the type of girl is very diverse, some are shy cats, some dare to directly express their feelings, but there are also those who like only in the heart, do not dare to express.

According to Maemunah Lidia, a brave girl, she is also intelligent just like Alma, proof that she went to Kazakhstan to represent a delegation from Indonesia at the international science olympiad. Maybe if Akio doesn't know Alma yet, he'll be interested in Lydia. Fortunately, Alma met him first. He was Akio's choice. Akio is a loyal type of man, if you already like one girl, then it's just that, that's what Maemunah can know all along.

" Now we sleep, look at us continue to chat until unconsciousness is already 2 am. Tomorrow you have to go to school, so you have to get up early, you don't want us to oversleep the wake".

Maemunah turned off the bright lights, and turned on the sitting lights that were on the small table beside the bed.

Alma closed her eyes, and immediately fell asleep with a fast, because actually since coming home from the cafe, Alma was very tired and sleepy, only the arrival of her mother and sister made Alma back excited. Moreover, being able to tell his mother about his condition really makes the burden on the heart feel lighter.

" It turns out that you are very sleepy, since you have been resistant to being able to chat with your mother for a long time", Maemunah rubbed Alma's head that had slept well.

Then moved to look at Bara who slept beside Alma, Alma was in the middle of mother and Bara. And Bara had slept first at 9 p.m. It made Alma and his mother more free to tell each other, although in the end more Alma told the story, because Maemunah did not tell anything about his daily life for two weeks.

There are no interesting and important events that need to be told to Alma, because it is just a routine of managing a loundry kiosk, so the two brands tell more stories. Even until late at night, there is still much that has not been told, such as when he followed the tour on the last day in Kazakhstan, even souvenirs for Mother and Bara have not been discussed earlier. The new Alma tells about the Olympics and other friends.

Early in the morning Alma woke up to smell the typical cuisine like when he was at home alone. Alma opened her eyes and found Bara still curled up next to her, Alma got off the bed and headed for the kitchen.

Sure enough, his mother was cooking breakfast for all, at first the aunt who worked at Akio's house forbade, fearing that her employer was angry, for letting her in-laws cook, but Maemunah insisted, she said, and will be responsible if Akio gets angry at the maids.

" Mom woke up early in the morning?, whereas last night we just slept at 2 am, and now it's only 6, but mother has finished cooking grilled chicken, stir-fried kale and sambel terasi".

" For sure Alma will have breakfast a lot of mothers, everything looks very appetizing, Alma take a shower and get ready first".

Alma walked quickly to her room, just as Akio walked out of the room wearing his school uniform and carrying his backpack.

" Dear morning", Akio kissed Alma's forehead, and Alma received the kiss, making Akio smile this morning. His mission of making Alma forget her anger had already worked, and it made Akio very happy.

" I'm gonna take a shower, you wait at the dinner table, I'm gonna take a shower and we'll have breakfast together".

And Akio smiled even more because Alma had already asked him to speak.

" Okay, baby, I'm waiting at the dinner table with mom".

Akio walks towards the dining table, but Maemunah returns to the room to wake Bara, who is still curled up on the bed.

Bara was easily awakened for fear of being scolded by Maemunah if misfortune, and immediately took a bath in the bathroom that was in the room.

When Bara and his mother came out of the room, Alma also came out of the room wearing a school uniform and also her favorite yellow sweater.

" It's beautiful after the bath" mother Maemunah praised her own daughter.

" Daughter who used to dong, mother's daughter" said Alma while embracing her mother towards the dining table.

Akio had already waited for 15 minutes at the dinner table, but by reading some reports from the foundation sent yesterday afternoon. Because Akio had just read it, and it turned out that everything was very good. The success of himself and Alma became the Olympic champion made the name Pelita Jaya a trending, and became the target class of children of officials and children of successful entrepreneurs.

It will be very beneficial for the foundation. And Akio felt himself very lucky today, getting a happy foundation report, also getting Alma's smile back.

" We eat, after that take mom home, then we go to school". Akio told them their travel plans.

" Okay spirit, today is Thursday, and there is still tomorrow until we can rest on the weekend break", Alma tried to encourage herself because in fact she felt lethargic because of lack of sleep all night.
