Sunday morning, the sun shone very brightly to greet the earth. The blue sky stretches out beautifully, as does the mood of Erna and Toni's family which feels warm and full of happiness.
Because today is a teaching holiday, Erna decided to tidy up and clean all corners of her house to make it feel more comfortable. With enthusiasm, he went around from one room to another.
His steps were directed towards Riyan's room, his only child who had now grown into a responsible teenager.
When she opened the door, Erna found the room quite messy. Clothes were scattered, books were out of place. However, with the patience and love of a mother, Erna began to tidy them up one by one.
While he was sweeping the floor, his eyes fell on a black object hidden under the bed. It was Riyan's favorite laptop.
"This kid... can he possibly put an expensive laptop under the bed like this? What will happen if it gets dust or is stepped on?" Erna muttered while shaking her head, a little annoyed but still smiling. He took it and placed it on the study table to make it safer.
After finishing tidying up, Erna sat for a moment to rest her body. However, who knows what wind hit his heart, curiosity about the contents of the laptop suddenly emerged and disturbed his mind.
"What does my child usually watch all day in front of the screen?" whispered his heart.
With hesitant steps, Erna returned to the study table and pressed the power button. The laptop turns on.
And... BRUCK!!
Erna's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. His eyes widened in disbelief at what was displayed as the wallpaper on the monitor screen.
A photo of a middle-aged woman who looks very sexy, wearing only panties and a thin bra, looking at the screen in a very seductive pose.
Erna's face turned bright red, a mixture of shock, embarrassment and confusion. His hands trembled slightly. However, curiosity only increased. With slightly shaking hands, he opened the search history in Google Chrome.
How surprised he was when he saw the wanted list.
"Mother and daughter videos", "Sexy older women", "Beautiful aunties", and various similar keywords are neatly lined up there.
Erna's heart was shattered, it felt like it was a mixed bag.
'My son... Riyan... why are you looking for things like this?' his mind screamed.
He tried to think clearly and logically. 'Maybe this is natural... he has started to mature, has started to have desires and curiosity. Indeed, as parents, we cannot monitor every second of his movements,' he thought, trying to calm himself.
However, there was one thing that kept bothering him and made him unable to think calmly. Why do you have to look for themes of forbidden relationships such as mothers and children? Why does he prefer older women?
The questions hit his head over and over again. His heart ached, he wanted to immediately ask Riyan about this when his son came home, he wanted to reprimand him firmly. But on the other hand, he was doubtful and afraid. Afraid that this would make Riyan offended, feel embarrassed, or actually make their relationship strained.
Erna was silent for a long time, lost in a sea of deep thoughts and anxiety.
Suddenly...
Knock.. Knock.. Knock..
The sound of a knock on the door broke her deep thoughts, making Erna gasp in surprise and hastily close the laptop as if fire was burning her hand.
"Assalamualaikum..." a friendly female voice came from outside.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," Erna answered quickly, trying to normalize her voice even though her heart was still beating fast.
When the door was opened, you could see the cheerful face of Mrs. Yanti, the wife of Mr. RT whose house was not far from there.
"Morning Miss Erna... are you healthy, right?" Yanti greeted warmly with a big smile.
"Eh, Mrs. Yanti... come on in, ma'am, please," answered Erna, trying to smile kindly to hide the turmoil in her feelings.
They sat in the living room.
"Where are you going, Miss Erna, why is the house so quiet? Usually it's busy," asked Yanti casually.
"Oh, that's it, ma'am... Riyan is playing out with his friends. My husband is having an important meeting with company guests, so he hasn't come home yet," explained Erna quietly.
"Oh, I see... So Miss Erna is alone at home, right?" said Yanti. "Look, ma'am, actually I came here to invite Mrs. Erna and her family to attend the recitation and dinner at our house tonight. As well as a friendly meeting," he added, explaining the purpose of his visit.
Erna's face smiled faintly. "God willing, we will come, Mrs. Yanti. My husband, Riyan and I will definitely be there."
"Alhamdulillah... ready to wait, ma'am. Don't forget," said Yanti happily.
"Thank you very much, ma'am. Then I'll say goodbye, Assalamualaikum," Yanti said goodbye.
"Yes ma'am, you're welcome. Wa'alaikumsalam," answered Erna as she led her to the gate.
After Mrs. Yanti left, the atmosphere in the house returned to silence. The smile on Erna's face slowly faded. He sat back in the living room, and the image of what he had just seen on Riyan's laptop came back to haunt him.
His heart was restless again, full of big question marks about what really happened to his son.
At four in the afternoon the sound of the front door opening. Toni had just come home after spending time on company matters and important meetings. His face looked tired but still calm.
"Mah... Riyan hasn't come home yet, has he?" Toni asked quietly, his eyes immediately turned to the yard, looking for his son's favorite motorbike which apparently was still not there. A father's heart is always anxious if his son comes home late.
"Not yet, Dad. When he was leaving, he said that he would come home a little late or maybe at night, because he wanted to play with his friends for a long time," answered Erna softly, trying to calm her husband.
"Oh... okay then," said Toni, taking a deep breath, then sat slumped on the living room sofa.
"I almost forgot, Dad," said Erna suddenly, handing her a cup of warm tea and a plate of snacks. "Earlier, Mrs. Yanti, Mr. RT's wife, came to invite us. She said that after Isha we would be invited to a thanksgiving at their house."
"Wow, right? OK, then we'll go together," replied Toni enthusiastically. "You tell Riyan, Mom, tell him to come home early today. Don't play until very late, we have to be there together."
"Yes, Dad, I'll call or chat with him now," answered Erna understandingly.
They sat side by side, enjoying the morning silence and the snacks served. The atmosphere at home feels so warm and peaceful.
Erna immediately took her cell phone and called her child.
"Hello, son... where are you? Have you finished your business or playing, okay? Go home soon. This afternoon we have an event invited by Mr. RT, you know," Erna messaged softly on the phone.
This family relationship is indeed very harmonious. Erna and Toni love Riyan more than anything. As an only child, Riyan is like a jewel in their eyes. Whatever their children want, from expensive items, abundant pocket money, to the best facilities, they always fulfill them without asking too many questions. They pamper Riyan wholeheartedly.
However, great luck was on their side. Even though he was pampered and lived a life of wealth, Riyan grew up to be a very polite, obedient and obedient child. He never argued with his parents, always spoke softly, and respected his mother and father very much.
Erna and her husband's current life could be said to be perfect. A stable economy, a comfortable home, and having filial and obedient children. There is no complaint whatsoever, their life is truly full of happiness and peace.
