BETWEEN (TERMINAL ) GIWANGAN ~ BUBULAK

HONEYMOON AFTER 10 YEARS OF MARRIAGE

“Ma, sorry, Papa can not propose?” yanto said as he was alone with Fitri watching their two children play in Timah and Suradi's chicken coop. They were at the house of Mr. Suradi and Mr. Erlina. Both owners have been in the town house since last night. Until the house is empty. For that this morning deliberately Yanto and Fitri here to feed and clean the cage also fix something that Yanto needs to fix.

“Usul how Pa?” ask Fitri. She put a morning snack for her husband on a small table in the backyard. Just boiled yams and hot tub tea. It is like that simplicity that Fitri lives. Never would he bother with having to buy a snack like a bakery for daily consumption. Because it was also not very good on Yanto's tongue. Make others tasty not necessarily for ourselves or our partner is good. Yanto's tongue wants it that way, yes that's what Fitri prepared.

“Papa want you know we are both on vacation,” Yanto said as he looked closely at the woman who had given him two sons. The woman who used to exist only in her dreams. He dared not hope to have because it was too high for him to reach.

“Kok Papa thought so?” asked Fitri, she retorted her husband's gaze. Looking for the meaning of what is implied from the eyes of the man who made it, never replaced by anyone.

“Papa is already bored huh?” tanya Fitri was afraid. Boredom in the household is a source of strange problems that were initially considered trivial.

“It is not even possible Ma. Papa loves very much Mama. Mama knows that! Our love hasn't been from since marriage, has it? We fall awake holding back so that we do not say love, because we are separated by the distance we form ourselves. I made a fence saying I'm still STM and you're my employer's son. You think I refused because you are older. The fence was us who formed.”

“Keep why Papa thought to vacation alone. Don't you think kids?” Fitri still does not understand the intention of her husband to take her on vacation alone.

“Since the children were present, we have never gone together for a vacation. The first time we left, we were worried. That was Burhan's wedding. One week Gendis' mother prepared Mama's mind to leave Daffa at that time. Remind her how worried Mama wants to go home quickly for leaving Daffa at home?”

“We've never had a honeymoon. We have long tasted happiness when we were at home Jogja both first. There we both know each other. There we first had a husband and wife relationship after the fourth month of our marriage. But at that time we never thought about going on vacation. We feel quite alone at home without changing the atmosphere.”

“Papa wants to go for a walk together, because we want to honeymoon for the first time after our ninth marriage even almost tenth yes Ma,” said Yanto.

“Fourth marriage I started pregnant with Daffa. Daffa's 5th wedding was born tomorrow 10th wedding,” Fitri said again.

“That's Ma Papa's thinking. If for example Mama does not want to go far maybe we can stay at a hotel together for a few days just in Solo. If you do not dare to go far we just sleep in the hotel not for making love because it is not the main purpose of Papa.”

“Papa just wants us out of the way without a load. I will return to the hotel. Just like that, maybe two or three days if you do not dare to go far enough in the city of Solo.”

“But if you dare to go far, maybe we can go to Jogja, we stay three or five days. If Mama wants to go to Bromo, to Bandung or to Malang it is up to Mama. Or even go to Bali?” ask Yanto again.

Fitri rethink, indeed all this time he never vacation both his life just for children and husband only. He should have thought about occasionally pampering himself.

He must start to be selfish not to think ONLY for children does not mean he does not love, precisely because he loves children he must have a fresh and healthy mind.

“Boleh also Pa, we are on vacation but for where and the time period later Mama thought first yes. What is certain is that at this time the answer to the discourse Papa kita honeymoon Mama agrees,” replied Fitri. He was not only thinking about himself but he was also thinking about Yanto who needed refreshing from his weight all along.

The heavy burden of living himself and their two children as well as the number of employees and their sisters and extended family employees has increased because now the workshop is also getting wider.
