Andi X Sarah's
66. With Papa (SEASON 3)
Andi was so happy that her friends came to see her sick parents. In fact, Kevin the village thug also wanted to visit his mother Andi because it was once given a bushel of food containing rendang. For that, Kevin brought fruits as nutritional enhancers so that Andi's mom was healthier.
The presence of Papa beside Mama makes his own spirit for Andi. Her mother was always alone without her husband and went home only a few days a month, then flew back out of town. Days without a lover sometimes make Andi sad. He often feels guilty if he goes out of the house too often because he is the only man in the house.
Three days and two nights Andi had been taking care of Mama in the hospital. On the third night, the entire treatment was done well and it was decided that her mother would be discharged from the hospital. Hurry up that night to get ready to go home.
“Thank you for taking care of Mama,” Papa said outside the hospital.
“Iya, Pa. It was Andi's duty as the oldest boy.”
Andi's mother's condition has improved. He just needs to rest at home for a week, just to be able to do activities as usual. Andi also felt empty first because he realized the tomorrow his father had to go back to the city of Padang.
“What should we do today? Papa should be home tomorrow?”
` Papa lowered the cup of coffee that he had shaved at the tip of his lips.
“Ngapain yes Pa? What's the problem with Mama?”
“It ... there's Aisyah and Sarah. Still this afternoon,”
“How about we fishing, Pa?”
Papa looked quickly at Andi. “Hayuklah .. Papa so remember the youth of time in the village.”
With all the preparation of fishing and permission from his mother to go fishing, go Andi with his father using Andi butut motorbike. In the house still lived Aisha and Sarah. They can look after your mom until the afternoon.
Andi faforit fishing ponds are the destination of fishing destinations today. Andi quite often come here because it is close to home and the fish are also quite a lot. If you want to go to the river, usually Andi went touring first with his father Sarah or college friends who like fishing. Problem is, in the Capital City it is difficult to find a suitable river. If you want to fish in the sea, Andi fishing is not possible for this.
There are two large fishing ponds that are used as an option spot. The left and right ponds have different fish streams. If on the right is dominated by tilapia, while on the left is dominated by bawal fish. For large fish are distributed evenly. Then, want to choose left and right depending on the angler itself.
Quite calm this fishing pond to keep quiet. Yes ... fishing where there are people screaming. How to get out the fish if people on holiday.
“There are catfish here, Andi?” ask Papa.
“Wah, there is dong. But yes a little because the patin is big. Here many fish bawal.”
“Well, let's get patin. You see Papa bought this caterpillar ...”
His papa shows green leaf caterpillars that are almost the size of an adult thumb. Andi once heard that using bait can be caught catfish easily. But because Andi prefers using peacock bait, Andi only use worms and pellets.
The released bait was stuck in the water. Give a small wave to the edge until it splashes water. Black coffee has been ordered two cups and come delivered by the beautiful mbak-mbak. Andi is the most successful. If there is coffee, there should be cigarettes. Andi's father immediately exuded nyantuy with a puff in a heavy cigarette. Andi can only swallow when he saw how delicious smoking while fishing.
If I smoke here, it can be done …. Finally Andi still hold the taste of the candlestick.
“How was your lecture?” ask Papa.
Yes, Andi had guessed for sure that question would be present when the two of them. If Mama, it's almost every day so it's so that Andi's ears become hot, because after that his mother was angry.
“Alhamdulillah, smoothly ..”
His papa lips exhale cigarette smoke. Fly the smoke into Andi's nose. The smell of cloves from Sulya cigarettes makes Andi drool. You see, that's Andi's faforit cigarette.
“How smooth? Many smoothly, smoothly faltering, or what?” ask the papa back.
“Papa hope you finish quickly yes, do not get rich Papa first until the twelfth semester. Long awaited your mother. Not to mention after that work.”
Why can you papa me that long? Even though Mama is smart and she says it ends one generation soon. I got my strength down from Papa deh ….
So once that night when the family gather together, his mother and his father were satirical about college problems. It was revealed that his mother was an intelligent person in her generation and finished with satisfactory results. In fact, he had always wanted to continue his education to the magister level, but because of the condition of the economy at that time, his mother preferred to return to the village.
“Iya Pa... Andi must have finished in the last eight semesters. So, do not pay tuition anymore because just waiting for graduation,” reply Andi.
“You really want to be a teacher?” ask papa.
“Hmm ... initially no. .. but teaching people to exercise is fun for Andi. After all, being a sports teacher is not very rigidly rich math teacher. They are relaxed, at least can still contribute education to children.”
One time Andi told me about her worries about being a teacher to Sarah. Andi thought that if he became a teacher, his salary would not be commensurate with private employees like his father. He becomes insecure if there are many men with established jobs approaching Sarah in the future. Andi thought Sarah would be realistic to choose her mentoring tomorrow. Yes, the household is based on love, but built on a pile of material.
“Well if you want to be a teacher, that's good. Every great person in this world must have been taught by a teacher. So the teacher was his service ..”
“Most of his services, but also not appreciated commensurate with his services. Bayangin is an honorary teacher whose salary is small and paid once three months the same order,” refute Andi.
Papa laughed at the criticism. Often upload efbi posts that criticize on that side.
“Whatever you are in the future, make sure it is beneficial to others. You live in this world by virtue, not by how much money you earn. Take a look at some of the rich people in the complex, but they never gotong royong, definitely not appreciated. Believe me.. If we are sincere and full of hard work, you are not worried about life.”
Andi was stunned by that sentence. There was a meaning he could take from fishing today.
