NOT AN ORDINARY HUSBAND
Chapter 81

Jasmine, Zahra and Oryza arrived at the apartment at six in the afternoon. The plan is they take a shower and perform the first mahgrib prayer then they will cook together in the kitchen for dinner together.

It wasn't long until Omar arrived at the apartment.

"Mama and Oryza are staying here, baby?" ask Omar as soon as he gets to the room.

"So Mas. They were bathing in the guest room again" Jasmine replied as she received the briefcase and suit that her husband had been wearing at the office.

"Bandi first Mas let us pray maghrib together. I have your clothes ready first" said Jasmine.

"Okay yank" Omar replied.

Omar stepped into the bathroom. After finishing bathing Omar put on the clothes that Jasmine had prepared on the bed. Then they prayed Maghrib together.

After finishing the prayer Omar took a short break on the sofa while sniffing email on his phone.

"I'm going to the kitchen first, I want to prepare dinner for us" said Jasmine.

"Later when you are ready to call me yank" Omar continued.

"Yes dear" Jasmine replied gently.

Jasmine went to the kitchen, apparently her in-laws and sister-in-law had already arrived there.

"Omar is home, baby?" ask Zahra.

"Already Ma, again rest in the room while checking the work he said" replied Jasmine.

"Mas Omar is a habit not in the office, not at home the same. His work takes care of the work just forget each other. Good thing he met Mbak if not maybe forget to get married" Oryza said.

"Hus.. Don't talk about it Za" forbid Zahra.

"What are we cooking, Ma?" ask Jasmine. He saw that his in-laws had already brought out some foodstuffs.

"So Mama checked the contents of your refrigerator. The plan is Mama want to cook soto, the material is complete" replied Zahra.

"Enak tuh Ma's. I'm helping you" Jasmine said.

"Oza readyin the table, son, let's take a bite of dinner. Your brother's father is hungry" Zahra ordered.

"Ready Ma" answered Oryza briefly.

They started working together to prepare the dinner menu. All the food is almost done. The smell of Zahra's cooking was smelled all the way to the room.

"What do you cook. The money reaches the room. I'm hungry" Omar said.

"Mama cook soto Mas" replied Jasmine.

"Hemmm I'm impatient. I have not eaten Soto made by Mama for a long time" said Omar.

Omar and Oryza sat at the dinner table watching Zahra and Jasmine cook. A few minutes later, the food was on the table.

They had dinner together while telling stories. Oryza told me more about college and his friends. Zahra, Omar and Jasmine were more silent and listening. Sometimes they follow Oryza's story.

After finishing eating Jasmine asks Zahra to relax in the TV room with Omar and Oryza. He deliberately gave space and time for them to let go of each other.

Jasmine cleaned the dining table and kitchen. Also wash the dirty dishes they used to eat.

Zahra sat back on the couch in the TV room with her children. They watch TV together and joke around with each other.

Now Oryza has fallen asleep on his mother's lap. Jasmine and Omar sat side by side. Omar was holding Jasmine's shoulder.

"Za" call Omar.

"Yes" answered Oryza.

"You still forgot what happened when Papa died?" ask Omar curiously.

"Yes Brother. I don't remember anything" Oryza replied.

Zahra stroked Oryza's hair inside her lap.

"Every time I try so hard to think and remember my head is dizzy. Sorry Ma, I can't help Mama" said Oryza sadly.

"It's okay, baby. The most important thing is your health" Zahra replied.

"At least you don't remember Za. At least try first" urged Omar.

"Mas don't be too forced later if Oryza fainted how?" ask Jasmine.

Omar was silent at his wife's words.

"Tomorrow I'll go to Om Rey and ask what happened back then. Whether the answer would be the same as what he told me first at the time Papa had just died. At that time, I was devastated and confused. Mama was taken by police and Oryza was taken to hospital. All taken care of by Om Rey. He must have had his own answers about what happened that day" Omar said.

"But remember Mas don't let him suspect you. No one knew that my mother was free. All five years to go Mama's new free" Jasmine reminded her husband.

"You ask with Mar details so that Om you can tell it from the beginning so that nothing is missed. Mama does not want the story reduced or even added" pinta Zahra.

"Relax Ma, no matter what happens, Mama is still our Mama. If the results that I can still lead to Mama I will still forgive Mama. Because Mama's been paying for Mama's mistakes for fifteen years. It's time we forget the past, make peace with it and live happily" Omar looked at his mother reassuringly.

"Thank you babe.. You're great Mama's kids" Zahra's eyes re-glazed.

Suddenly Jasmine ran towards the room then to the bathroom. Omar, Zahra and Oryza were confused and surprised to see Jasmine's attitude instantly moved following Jasmine all the way to the bathroom.

"Ueeeeek.. ueeeek..." Jasmine spat out all the food she had just eaten.

"Why you, baby?" ask Omar.

"I'm nauseous Mas. It might catch a cold, last night I couldn't sleep because I thought about your meeting with Mama today" Jasmine replied.

"Dizziness?" ask Omar.

"A little bit" Jasmine replied briefly.

"Here let Mas blow your head" Omar touched his wife's head.

Omar took his wife to bed.

Zahra came from the kitchen with warm ginger-brewed water.

"Try drinking this first Jasmine. Hopefully it can reduce your nausea" Zahra handed Omar a cup of warm water and Omar shoved her against Jasmine's lips.

Jasmine then drank the water Zahra made.

Then his body started to warm again. Previously his hand suddenly cold because it held the nausea in his stomach.

"Then you guys just rest. Mama and Oryza are going back to our room" Zahra said.

"Thank you Ma" Omar said.

Zahra and Oryza came out of Omar's room. They rest in the guest room. Omar was still twitching Jasmine's dizzy head.

"Want to eat yank again? Your stomach is empty because of the vomiting" said Omar.

"No. I'm still nauseous" Jasmine closed her eyes trying to sleep.

"Then you go to bed" Omar kissed his wife's forehead affectionately.

"Thank you" said Jasmine.

"I should have said that, baby, you've done a lot for my family" Omar replied.

"You're my husband Mas, your family is my family. After marriage we become one. Your sadness is my sadness, your happiness is my happiness" Jasmine continued.

"I love you dear" Omar gently kissed his wife's forehead.

Omar can sleep peacefully tonight. The problem with his mother is over. They have agreed to make peace with the past.
