30 Days Before the Farewell

30 Days Before the Farewell
the happiness of Ilham and Sifa when with his father



Ilham and Sifa apparently have been able to make peace with the father, even now they are more respectful to his father than his own mother, even though all this time who awaited his arrival by them is Nadira not Bayu, but also by his father, but now that the reality is changing, the two children are more comfortable with their father, not with their mother.


"Assalamualaikum son of the father, guess what I brought for you?" Ask Bayu. Bayu entered his room with two plastic bags containing food for them to eat together.


"It must be the rice sitting in front" replied Ilham smiling. Ilham still remember his father and his mother always bought nasi uduk which was sold in front of the complex, they really liked the food because in addition to the price is quite affordable it also tastes very good, perfect for mothers who are lazy to cook at home. Nadira used to like to buy if he woke up bad luck.


"Kok ka Ilham know? Pinter!" Said Bayu while stroking his little boy's head. "We'll eat yu kiddo first! Kasian ka Ilham was hungry from earlier" Bayu asked his two children. 


"Come daddy! sifa's stomach was hungry" Sifa said. They also rose from their seats and followed Bayu who had gone first.


"Mmmmh kasian, sorry dad son! yesterday the father of the bangunya bad luck so I did not stunt cooking for you" said Bayu. Bayu stopped his steps, he allowed his two children to go first from him. 


"O Allah, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be with them again, they are the encouragement of my life, I cannot afford to part with them again, so I beg you, I beg you, do not let my two children stay away from me again, I want to be near them until my body ages" baby Bayu whimpered.


"Asian! We can eat together here again ka, unfortunately there is no mother yes, mother is busy transparent so can not eat with us" said Sifa. Sifa sat down at the dining table excitedly, she looked so happy to be able to eat with her father and brother again like before, but he felt that there was something lacking, namely his mother who was always busy with her affairs.


"Alhamdulillah yes dik" said Ilham smiling.


"Alhamdulillah ka" said Sifa also. 


Seeing his two children talking, Bayu just smiled while preparing dishes and spoons for them, Bayu poured the rice on their plate and then took two glasses of water that he stored near their plate.


"Father's son eats a lot! Let's quickly grow into a mature child, I want to immediately see you succeed like grandma and grandpa, already grown up Inspiration must take care of mother and father, and Sifa, you must take care of father son, son, I am grateful to have you both" Bayu told his two children. Bayu helplessly dropped his tears in front of Ilham and Sifa, he could not hide his sadness at this moment.


"Dad kok nangis, Sifa will definitely take care of father kok, Sifa will not leave father because Sifa loves very much the father" said Sifa. Sifa got up from her seat and approached Bayu. He hugged his father with great affection.


"Dad is so grateful to have a good child like you boys, dad is so proud" Bayu kissed his children one by one. He could not express his happiness at this moment other than by crying. "Let's eat the rice first, son, later after eating dad want to take you to the road, you guys want it?" Ask Bayu. Bayu told them to eat the rice immediately, he wanted them to quickly finish the meal so he could quickly bring them to play outside, he did not want to waste his time with the two of them, because surely the two children would be taken again by his mother.


"Recide it, son! Who runs out first, I will love the gift again" said Bayu persuaded. Bayu wants his two children to eat voraciously because he knows them best. Sifa and Ilham were hard-pressed to eat much unless they were persuaded by a Gift.


"Don't you think I'd buy us another present?" Tanya Sifa wanted to know.


"Tell dong! when you lie to the son of this smart father's son, I promise that if you finish the food you will buy you a gift + street today, around the city" Bayu replied smiling. Bayu was very happy to see his two children cheerful like this, he wanted to give happiness to them, as his apology because he had wasted them.


"Horeeee, let's walk ka, let's finish the food, so we can quickly go the road!" Sifa said with so much spirit. 


Bayu who saw him could only smile happily, he was grateful to be able to make them happy like this because this was all he could do to make up for all his mistakes first.



When Bayu felt the happiness of being able to gather again with his two children, Elsa was in another place was struck by a very extraordinary confusion. How not, the three friends that no one knows a good job vacancy for him, Elsa hopes to be like the old days when she was still working in the company Bayu, but that's just her hope, but that's just her hope, since something that had been left behind was hard to have back, regret would not come first so he could only regret it.


"Leo... How the hell do you get rich? You do not work but can buy goods branded rich gini? Lo's parents are also ordinary rich my parents, for the recipe dong! let me be rich" Elis told his friend. Elis was surprised by his two friends Leo and Julia, they did not work but can succeed as it is now very different from him and Elsa, he said, without working hard they can not have anything even for the cost of their daily lives they both have to be tired first.


Hearing Elis' question, Leo and Julia simply smiled as they looked at each other. The two of them did not dare to tell them because indeed they both worked in a nightclub.


"Our work is there! Why is Lis? Less what else try the same job Lo? You've become a secretary at a well-known company, want to find the rich how else?" Ask Leo to the friend.


"It's not for me Leo, it's for our friend Elsa!" Elis answered while looking at Elsa who looked dreamy. Elsa seemed to be unaware of her friend's chat from earlier, she just sat, dumbly, her body was with her friend but her heart was somewhere.
