Arrived - Arrived Matchmade

Togetherness (end)

That afternoon, before going to Andi's house. Zahira took her husband to her parents' house first to deliver the sponge cake she made this morning.

Adam turned off his motorbike after arriving at his father-in-law's house. Zahira took Arvind down and without waiting for Mama and Papa, the handsome boy ran inside.

"Yan 'ti.. Yan' kung's.. Alpin datan's.." He cried impatiently to meet his grandparents.

The father who again sat relaxed in the living room while smoking a cigarette was immediately shocked by the cry of his favorite grandson.

"The grandson of Yang kung." He smiled and put his cigarette out in the ashtray.

"Hehe.." Arvind laughed at the presence of the Father in the living room.

While Adam and Zahira only shake their heads to see how enthusiastic the child was to meet his Mother and Father.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Adam and Zahira kissed the middle-aged man on the back.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Replied the Father with Arvind who was already in his lap.

"Where's my friend?" Zahira asked as she sat herself in the chair and placed the items she was carrying on the table.

"It's in the back." Answer Father.

"Just look back first." He said and left behind the men of different generations.

"Om Charity where's 'Kung?" Asked Arvind with his lisp voice.

"Om Akmal's sleeping in the room." Answer Father.

"Alpin wants tulun and tamal Om Amal." Her request.

"Yes." Yeah." I took Arvind down from his lap.

Arvind also headed to Akmal's room and tiptoed to pull the door handle which fortunately was not in the key. He saw that Omnya was sleeping in a supine position. Arvind crawled up to the bed and shook the teenager's body.

"Om Charity.. About Charity." Call her.

"What." Akmal replied in a lazy voice again the dream should be dispelled by the voice of his nephew.

"Come on with the dalan." Take Arvind with passion.

Usually if in the afternoon and Arvind already shower. The handsome boy will be picked up by Akmal and invited to walk through the streets of the village and stop on the field, see a group of teenage boys playing football.

"It's still Vind's day.." Akmal replied that his nephew would understand. It was hard to open both eyes. Last night he stayed up with his friends at the stall and only came home at half-time.

"Come on 'Om. dalan dalan.." Arvind still shook Akmal's body making the teenager clucked irritated and forced to wake up.

"You're really interested.." Akmal said while pinching Arvind's puffed cheek. Just disturb his nap.

"Huwaa... Mama..." Arvind was crying because Akmal pinched her hard enough.

"Eh. uh. don't cry. don't cry.." Akmal was drunk while calming Arvind down. You can be angry with your brother, he whispered in his heart.

"Mama.. Huw..." Arvind kept crying.

Zahira went into Akmal's room. "You're another Deck, so happy for Arvind to cry." Omel Zahira's.

"Cup. boys can't be whiny. Same story Mama, was it the same Om Akmal?" Tanya Zahira brought Arvind into her arms.

"Alpin's cheek in the tubit." His sister sobs.

"Akmal..until gini red cheeks." Zahira glared at Akmal seeing Arvind's right cheek appear reddish.

Akmal just grinned while scratching his head that did not itch.

"Hehe. sorry Ma'am, it wasn't on purpose." Regretfully.

"Sorry Om yes.don't cry anymore, afternoon Om will pick you up. Keep going for a walk while buying ice cream, will you?" Akmal stroked Arvind's hair.

Arvind hugged her body tightly, not wanting to see her face.

"You Papa.." Look up to Zahira.

"Yes, we're going to Papa." Zahira said and then came out of Akmal's room.

"Hadeh. will be sprayed by Mum again." Akmal Mumbles.

Adam turned his head and Arvind directly extended his hands for Adam to carry him.

"Papa's champ why cry, heum?" Ask Adam softly.

"Om Amal dahat, cheek Alpin tubit." With a funny expression.

"That red sampe Mas cheek Arvind." Sahut Zahira.

Adam smiled and gently rubbed the cheek of the hero. "Here, the red will be gone." His word. Arvind put his cheek on Adam's chest.

"Sir, sorry. We can't linger here. We're going to Andi's house too." Said Zahira pamit.

"Oh, it's okay." Answer Father.

"Arvind why Dam?" Andi asked to see Arvind who did not want to join Dila and Micah.

"The habit was crying." Adam answered briefly, patting Arvind on the back.

"Yes, just a moment. Mama's gonna take Papa first." Zahira filled Adam's plate with rice, bakwan maize, sambel. For his oxtail soup Zahira put it in a bowl for Adam to pour himself.

"Now, Mom." Zahira extended a plate and bowl to Adam.

"Dedek, eat with Brother Micah yuk." Micah told Arvind. Micah is seven years old.

"No! Alpin wants Mama." He answered while shaking his head, making Micah pout because Arvind refused.

"Well.." Risma laughs.

"You eat Yank, too." Adam now feeds Zahira.

"Ris, where's your husband not here yet?" Andi asked on the sidelines.

"Sister soon." Answer Risma.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Akmal said that he had just arrived at Andi's house followed by Risma's husband as well.

Eko then called Akmal and Risma's husband to join them.

"Wih. eat big." Akmal vows of antuasias.

"Yes, let's sit down. Choose the food you want." Answer Mila.
