Lara's Pieces (When the Ex Returns)
Concerns of Askara and Salma

Afifah is increasingly upset with his mother who often forbids Afifah if most play hape. Just like before when he was busy playing hape, and chat with his friends in the group, Salma had told Afifah to rest and had to deactivate his hape. Afifah gave her phone in a resentful tone to Salma, then told Salma to come out of her room, and slammed the door of her room. Salma simply threw away the roughness of his breath when Afifa did such a thing, he did not snap at her at all, even he blamed himself, and asked in his heart, was he too hard to educate Afifa?

Askara came out of her room hearing the sound of the door closing loudly. Askara approached his wife who was standing at the door of Afifah's room.

“What's up, Mommy?” ask Ask Askara.

Salma approached her husband who was still standing at the door of her room. Understand their home in Jogja is not as large as the house in Jakarta. Their rooms were facing each other, so Askara heard the door close so loud.

“Why, Bun?” ask Ask Askara again. Then Salma took Askara into the room. “Ih mother asked even silent?”

“Huh ... usual well, Afifah if told to rest, do not toy hp mulu, so angry him? Gini slammed the door of his room,” replied Salma.

“Afifah it is now very difficult if advised. If you want something, you also have to be obeyed. Now also have dared to argue father, against father's words, sometimes also dare to be the mother, yes like that? Banting the door when it's mara?” askara.

“Mother confused, Dad. Afifah angry with mother, at this time mother asked her to turn off her phone and hold it as usual, only if you love her again in the morning. Mother wants him to rest enough. Let's get fresh tomorrow at school. But the mother reprimanded do not play hape continuously because it was ten o'clock he was angry, said his friend alone can hold a twenty-four hour hape anyway? What do you have to do, Dad? Mommy hard is not the same as Afifah?” lamented Salma.

“No, mom is right. I also do not want him to focus too much on gadgets, Bun,” replied Askara.

“But, if gini continues that there Afifah getting angry with mother, Yah?” salma. “Starting tomorrow, let Afifah hold his own phone, Afifah is big anyway, Dad. Mommy also sees him discipline, learning also discipline, never leave his duties, always done on time new he played hp,” explained Salma.

“Where do you know Afifah so?” ask Ask Askara.

“Mother is monitoring Afifah, Dad? Although it does not look like he is monitoring him, but you believe Afifah is not strange,” Salma replied.

“Yes if for example can be accounted for well, with Afifah hold hp so, father anyway may, but I am afraid, because the relationship of the child now is that, mother knows herself?” askara.

“Yes too, I entrust to mother, follow how mother. Mommy is more time with Afifah, so you know how? It is indeed facing a child who just stepped on the teenage years like this. We are also young, have experienced times like Afifa, so yes know how it feels that Afifa is always forbidden us,” explained Askara.

“Iya, Dad. Mommy is just afraid of Afifah dating, Well,” said Salma.

“Lha is not the first mother of SMP already dating Dimas? Yes father too, but forget who is the boyfriend of the father when he was Junior High, his name is also love monkey, sometimes funny if you remember,” Askara said. “Dad does not matter if Afifah has started to like his male friends, or maybe dating, as long as we just monitor how, right?” askara.

“Ya mother is also not a problem, but it is different now times are the same as before. Now the times are so sophisticated, Dad? Anything can be accessed easily using hape. If he's dating, keep looking at the weird content, and he ditches his girlfriend how? Mother's afraid, Dad. Mother is not her birth mother, but mother is very dear to Afifah. Mommy is just afraid that Afifah is hanging out with the wrong friend?” salma.

“Yes already, we keep giving him freedom, give him his right now, as long as we can monitor him, watch him. Maybe this is one way let us not fuss continue with the same Fifah, try tomorrow morning we talk about, huh? No need to manyun gini, tomorrow surely Fifah has relieved his anger,” said Askara.

“I'm afraid that Afifah is angry again with me, Afifah considers me a fierce stepmother, even though I'm a penguh Afifah not fall into a terrible relationship like children today, but,” says Salma.

“Tomorrow we talk together, talk carefully so that Afifah also understands. Let's go to sleep, it's night. Here dad hug mom.” Askara tried to make Salma not to think things out. Askara continued to persuade Salma, if Afifah was only an emotion for a moment, at least tomorrow also his anger subsided again.

His name is a new child stepping on a teenager there must be things that Afifah wants to know more. Like starting to know friends of the opposite sex, start looking for attention to friends of the opposite sex. All of that is normal for most children who are just entering adolescence or puberty. They are actively socializing with their peers, looking for attention, some have even started to establish relationships with friends of the opposite sex or dating. That's what Salma was afraid of, if Afifah until he could like the same friends of the opposite sex or even dating.

Salma did not want Afifah like her, dating at a young age. Second-class Junior High School Salma is dating Dimas. It does not matter if it is only to know his male friends, but Salma is afraid that his time is different from the past. In the past, although many children who are the same age as Afifah dating, but still naturally, still monitored by his parents, his parents, there are no sophisticated tools like gadgets that have now started to be sophisticated to access what is on our minds.

Salma always tries to believe in Afifah that Afifah play hape just to chat with his gang friends in the group. Or to look through viral videos, for task information from his teacher, not for anything. However, the name of the parent must be fear and worry of his son doing things he should not do. Moreover, Afifah is a child, not his own biological child. As much as possible she wants to be a good mother and understand what her daughter wants. Salma tried to be a friend of Afifah, became a place of complaint Afifah, although sometimes had to argue and stubbornly first.

Afifa also dared to argue the words of his father and his mother. So sometimes even Askara to worry that his daughter became stubborn, and defiant.
