After the Rain

Home of the Future

Ms. Salma entered the house, followed by Yandri from behind. Arriving at the family room, they separated.

Ms. Salma went to the front room next to the living room. As for Yandri, he went to the bathroom to clean up. After coming out of the bathroom, Yandri went to the Star room. Tonight, he will spend his rest time with his only daughter.

Arriving at the room, Yandri sees his sleeping daughter hugging a beloved teddy bear. A thin smile was engraved on both corners of Yandri's lips when he remembered the whining of the Star who wanted to buy the doll. Yandri approached the bed of the stars and laid down his body.

The tall man looked at his little girl. Gently caress long hair belonging to the Stars while stroking the chest because it resisted tightness. I don't know, maybe after tomorrow. He would never be able to accompany his son to sleep again.

"Hopefully, when you grow up, you will never hate your father for granting your mother's wish" Yandri whispered, kissing her daughter's forehead.

The next day, as usual Daniar did his duty as a housewife in the morning. After the morning prayers, she went to the kitchen to do housework. At 05:00, Daniar went to the Bintang room to wake the Bintang morning prayers.

When the door of the room opened, Daniar could only be glued to the doorway when he saw Yandri was fast asleep while hugging the Star. Daniar could only look at him full of haru flavor.

So, last night kang Yandri went home and he slept in his room Star, Inner Daniar.

Suddenly, the Daniar's heart beats. Tucked in guilt as she recalled her separation with her husband.

Unable to see the scene before him, Daniar also closed the door to his daughter's room.

Daniar raised his face as soon as he arrived in the kitchen. A warm liquid pooled in both corners of his eyes. It felt, Daniar would never be able to spend time without her husband.

Although Yandri was never always with him, but this time. There will be a status attached to the Daniar self, which is 'widow'.

"Why are you, brother?"

Suddenly the question of Ms. Salma broke the daydream of Daniar. The woman who had had one child was very surprised to hear her mother's question. Daniar hastily wiped his tears.

"Y-mother?!" said Daniar.

"Hmm .. kok dawn-body is already in tears anyway, Ni. Why?" ask Ms. Salma who lately began to be curious about the life of Daniar.

"Ah, no ma'am. Niar ... just a flick," said Daniar, trying to berkilah.

"What's the lick, Niar? It's still dawn, you know. Wherever there is, dust flying," said Ms. Salma.

Daniar just smiled wryly at the words of his mother.

"Yes already, Mom. Niar wants to make fried rice first," said Daniar.

"A lot of yes, Ni. Yandri happens to be here as well" exclaimed Ms. Salma.

Daniar just nodded in response to his mother's orders. He then prepared the ingredients to be processed into a special fried rice Bintang favorite, and .. of course his father's favorite Bintang as well.

At 7am, Ms. Salma's family had gathered in the dining room for breakfast together. Even though all family members are very busy with their activities and work. However, they always take the time to mingle together, which is at breakfast and dinner.

"Bun, today Bibin has a swim class. What will be after class, Mother can pick up Bibin?" ask Stars.

"Later Bibin was picked up just like Tata, huh?" sahut Daniar's.

"Kok me anyway, brother? 'There's Bang Yandri at home. Why wasn't Bibin picked up by his father?" hatch Danisa.

"Sister for help, Deck. Just once ... please .... Today the same brother Kang Yandri had some business outside," Daniar replied, pleading.

"Already, Bun. Let's go later, Daddy picked up Bibin. No pa-pa, right, honey?" yandri timpal.

"But we have to go to the religious court to sign our farewell letter, Kang," Daniar said.

"The agenda, it's just signing, Bun. I thought, definitely will not be long," said Yandri.

Suddenly ....

"Bibin. Bibin went to school first. Assalamu'alaikum, everyone!" pamit Bintang while moving from his seat with his face bent.

"You guys?! Can you not be selfish like this?" snapped at Ms. Salma, furious.

"I mean Mom?" And let's ask back.

"Don't talk about separation in front of your child. Do you not realize that your separation has hurt your child? Have you ever thought about how she felt? At least, keep the feeling of the Star by never discussing your separation in front of her. Understand, you guys!" firmly Ms. Salma.

"I'm sorry, ma'am," Daniar and Yandri replied.

Instantly, Bu Salma's appetite was lost after seeing the Star leave with a pouting face. Without saying anything else, Ms. Salma moved out of her chair. He took the food box from the cupboard and filled it. A moment later, Ms. Salma followed the Star forward to deliver the food box.

The news of Yandri and Daniar's farewell had reached the ears of the brothers. Including the ears of Aminah, his eldest brother. Hmm, who else would have spread the news if not his own mother. It is undeniable, Aminah is quite sad with the fate of her beloved sister's household. However, Aminah realized that she never had the right to interfere in the household affairs of others.

Unlike Aminah, Habibah actually felt very happy to hear the news of the end of the household of the younger brother. Habibah's smile never escaped his lips when it crossed back the plan he betrothed Yandri with Siska.

Seeing that unusual smile, Miss Maryam also snorted in annoyance. He knew if something was against him, was struggling in Habibah's brain.

"Already, Bah .. don't think strangely. Mother will not be ngizinin Yandri to marry again in the near future. Knows you!" firmly Ms. Maryam.

"Oh, Mother .. su'udzon mulu!" grunts Habibah upset.

Daniar can only be stunned in front of a minimalist house with decorative walls of granite. He himself felt confused, inexplicably Yandri brought him to the Firdaus Regency housing. A commercial housing that is located quite far from the urban hustle and bustle.

If you look around, this housing is very suitable to be inhabited by people who want to spend retirement. Its location is quite far from the provincial road, the air is still fresh because it is close to the mountains, and the atmosphere of the environment is very friendly, making the residents of this commercial residential area, the, it would be very difficult to live here.

"Come, Bun!" yandri orders, shortly after he unlocks the door of his house.

Although I don't understand. However, Daniar still set foot into the house. A simple house that only has two rooms, one living room, one family room, one bathroom and one kitchen. It is not as large as the house of Hajjah Minah's late house. However, it is quite comfortable to live in.

"Come, Bun!" take Yandri while opening the back room door.

As if hypnotized by the charm of the lotus-sized door leaf, Daniar approached and followed Yandri into the room.

"Look!" yandri said as he opened the window curtain.

Both of Daniar's eyes widened to see what was presented behind the window of the room. The expanse of rice fields is very broad, presenting the charm of a giant carpet in yellowish green. Unknowingly, Daniar smiled widely when he saw the scene before him.

Two sparrows are perched on the end of the rice that dangles down. Wind blows on the rice stalks, making the two sparrows as if they were playing on a swing.

"Hmm, that's funny," muttered Daniar who could still be heard by Yandri.

"What's so funny, Bun?" yandri asked, following the direction of Daniar's eyes that were busy looking ahead.

"Ah, no .. nothing," replied Daniar, awakening from his daydream.

"Both birds?" guess Yandri who has managed to capture the object that Daniar is monitoring.

Daniar nodded.

"Both birds are so free, Bun. They flew here and there without a burden. As if the heat and rain were never an obstacle" Yandri murmured.

Baffled. Honestly, Daniar was confused to interpret all Yandri's words. However, he himself was reluctant to think about it.

"Which way, whose house is this, Kang?" ask Daniar, like he wants to switch the conversation.

"This is our house, Bun. The house you bought for our wedding anniversary gift, three months to come. The plan, Dad will renovate this house for us to live as our future home. Of course after we retire later," said Yandri at length.

Daniar could only quietly hear Yandri's words. His chest was increasingly tight because it had made wounds to the man who loved him sincerely.

Forgive Mother, Dad.
