BETWEEN YOU HE AND ME

the welcome home

we reached our destination, my parents' second home, and the children looked very happy when we arrived in front of my parents' house, it is not difficult to find the father's house because it is located not far from the highway that can be accessed by car. The children immediately scrambled down from the car when they reached his grandparents' house, I saw a crowd of neighbors in front of my father's house, I felt awkward going down this heavy leg to step into the house that holds sweet memories for me. I let out a long sigh, as if throwing away the heavy burden I had been carrying since my trip here.

"yu down?" ask my husband to hold my hand, I look at him as if he wants to talk 'I don't want to go down' "let's go, they're waiting for us" said my husband again. I still didn't answer or flinch I was still staring at her with teary eyes. 'I can't be here' in my heart screaming. Want me out of here I don't want to be here.

"yan, come on" asked my husband many times "good kids have gone down all the tuu" my husband showed the happiness of children when meeting my extended family. The people who were on the porch of the father's house were not other people they were the brothers of the mother who knew that we were going home because of the first photos uploaded right. For a moment I looked at them one by one I didn't see my mom and dad either where they were, or they purposely went to avoid me?

"honey" said my husband many times waking me up from daydreams. I also went down to follow my husband who first got out of the car. Step by step I poked my feet in the hometown that I had long left, I left, not much changed when I left this house a few years ago. Looking happy they saw me coming down to them, I greeted one by one, as soon as my tears broke to see the aunt, uncle, ma'am de, pak de that I salami. They hugged me tightly as if they couldn't believe I was back after a long disappearance.

"alhamdulillah yan" said my aunt who hugged me tightly with teary eyes. "aunt you don't believe this is you, are you healthy there?"

"alhamdulillah bi healthy" answered me trembling with tears. "mommy where are you?" I greeted and hugged my sisters asking mom and dad.

"mama in the kitchen is still cooking because you came not to tell us who is here" replied my sister no 2

"where's father?" ask me again

"father's still in the stall, but he'll be home soon" she replied to me. Before long mom came out of the house, I immediately rushed to greet and hug her, she said, my tears were unstoppable as I hugged my mother who was always there in every cry and laugh.

"maaa, sorry dian maa" my voice seemed to be held back by my crying. Mama returned my arms that were both crying. He took off my embrace

"are you healthy there?" asked the mother who wiped my tears. I just shake my head "there's never any news when you're gone.."

"but dian healthy ma, the evidence dian back here" I cut my mother's words asking my bitter past.

"father" choked my youngest brother. I turned my head when my father entered the house my legs felt weak when I saw my father. I saw the father coming who immediately hugged the grandchildren and held one of them. You greet the tristan kang who stepped in bothered with my children who asked in a cradle. I could not even approach my father who was troubled by the children. Kang Tristan helped to release their embrace, the blind look of the father who glazed over when he saw me, can't believe I came back with so many troops.

The three of us hugged each other, woke up by children who wanted to be spoiled by their grandparents. They're fighting for places with their grandfather. I retreated because my position was hindered by my son's behavior.

"please get out in the back bring it here" exclaimed my mother to my sisters. They're all here or they might be welcoming me on purpose. The fear that perched during the trip is gone with now replaced by happiness between each of us. There was a shining face between my parents, my sisters and our extended family.

"don't bother mah, we also bring for mama" I said to them but as if not in the mouth by them a dish one oersatu out of the kitchen, the results of my mama and my sisters.

"kang, yu get out of the things in the car" take me to my husband's kang tristan. I called out normally so we wouldn't be too flashy in front of a big family. Deftly kang tristan open the trunk of the car. "please help you lift strong items that are not strong let first" invite me to the nannies of my children.

Me and Kang Tristan took out all the things in the car, helped by the nanny and there was extra power from the father, he said, uncle and de sir because of the weight of the suitcases we carry and also souvenirs for all the family. Stuff is arranged in front of the porch because I told them to put it there. I'll share it before my core stuff goes into the room.

"do you guys bring this much luggage like they want to move" my uncle laughed at me.

"yes uncle, I'll bring the kids yaa must have a lot of stuff that we bring" said I reply his joke. "tetuh take a bag of teetuh used to be snazzy bring it inside, we settle one by one, we take care of one, mba also brought their own children's bags"

I conditioned everything so as not to accumulate too much in front of "this ma there is rice vegetables coffee tea all sorts of store where huh?" I asked my husband to be so quick to bring things back according to the instructions of the father. Left behind some bags that are souvenirs for everyone there, because indeed one RT here is the family of the mother and RT next door is the family of the father. Understandably in the village is indeed between one brother and another living close together.

"was kang?" ask my husband.

"there's a bag in front" he replied

"the bag in front of nii want me to open" I open all the bags that I carry which are the fruits of my hands there are clothes, food, drinks also that I deliberately buy for me to share. I distributed 2 large bags to uncle, aunt, de sir, de ma'am as well as their children. All her looks happy to receive her, left behind 1 bag that I brought in it is a gift for my 3 sisters and her husband.

"heyy already do not take care of it first, let's eat first" said mama who saw me busy with my luggage. "nii to rush this cold food"

"yes ma, take care of everything" I replied "let's not mess up in front"

"already later" sidelines father "you cape out the long journey yuu eat invite the others as well. Let's eat first while we rest. What's your name, son?" ask the kang tristan

"tristan pak" replied kang tristan to my father.

"let's eat first son" asked my father "sorry nii if it's like this hard to talk about his usual children if the same father can not diem"

"yes, sir, nothing" he replied politely. He can see how the children to his grandfather can not be far away.

"mba,, suck up the kids, all of you eat ya" kang tristan told the nanny.

"do not eat comfortably, let our children who bribe." said my father "kangen also their father"

"oh, but you also have to eat" said kang tristan

"it's okay, let's be with the kids" replied my father. Finally we relented to let the children eat with their grandparents.

"mba,, don't hesitate to eat full" said I "this is my parents' house, and that's all my sisters mba" I introduced. Just to introduce because it was still a lot of people. They nodded at each other's heads for their introductions.

"they're babysitters ma'am" I replied as if they were all astonished by my answer "apartments ma, dian kang tristan is busy working, the kids are not there to take care of. This is the cook's assistant at home"

"forgiveness, how many people are at home?" ask mama

"yes ma, have eaten don't ask questions first" answered my mother's question, I know what my father and mother thought, because I diverted their conversation. "there was a food that was deliberately bought on the road earlier, just typical souvenirs of the city"

"yes, mama did not cook a lot because you do not know if you are going home" said my sister-in-law "lagian go home ga kasiran, there was news that was her teteh nanya here, nanya here, is it really coming home? We answered no know but we saw from uploading the same photos of his comments yes you guys came home"

"yes it's nothing, there's a lot of food" I smiled. We are greedy to eat food that does not taste out much because it is good to eat together like this, not like at home although many children but we eat each because of his usual when we go home the children are asleep. They cleaned up the leftovers we ate.

"mba,, if you can rest" said I "can be in the front house ko"

the front house is my sister's house I asked permission to mba who rest there because there is one empty room for their place while here. During this time they can rest without children because the children can play with the neighboring children who are the brothers of the mother.

"yan" my mom called me "mom wants to talk"

I called Kang Tristan to talk to my mom and dad because I knew what they were going to talk to me about.

"sorry ma'am" I said, "I brought men home, I know what you're going to talk about"

"sorry mom, mom" said my husband started the conversation "we know we were wrong, acting without the knowledge of mom and dad, I'm sorry sir, I'm the one who forced the dian because I want to protect his status only"

"what are you doing there?" ask dad

"we're married sir" my husband replied to the point, "forgive us sir, not insolent intentions but I just want to protect my father's daughter"

"how long have you been married?" ask my husband

"it has been approximately 2 years sir" answered my husband "forgive us sir, the job of dian which forced me to take the position of father to keep dian, dian who every day met with the opposite sex, the opposite sex, which makes me not calm sir"

"what kind of job did you take yan?" ask the father "why do you meet men every day?"

Kriiinngggg I was shocked by the sound of my phone buzzing sign there was a call in "assalamualaikum ummi" said I. I nodded my head to my husband and walked out to receive a phone call. The one from my in-laws who told us where our marriage papers were sent. I also gave my father's home address so that we could immediately receive it, because the holiday was not long.

"why ummi?" ask my husband when I get back to my dad's show

"you are just an address" I replied "I've given you the address here said 2 3 days finished and can be accepted here"

"sir ma, just now my in-laws who asked for the address of this house, he packed a marriage certificate for here" I told my mother and father

"why are you married again?" ask mama

"we want to be passed, ma'am" my husband told 2 of my parents "we want to like the others not just marry sirri we want to inaugurate it"

"father approves of his son tristan" said my father "kalo equally understand each other as parents approve of him"

"alhamdulillah sir" my husband replied relieved "thank you sir"

"yan, are you that much assistant can you pay?" ask my mom

"insya alloh ma, will be helped by kang tristan" I replied

"no ma'am, sir, I'm not much help" replied kang tristan "the monthly salary is quite large, I just added a little. I have a house just not occupied, I rented, I live in the house of the wife sir"

"what the hell?" my heartless exchange humbled "the house installments that pay abba"

"just a little bit" replied kang tristan low. I always spend my money for the house, while my husband's living money is saved, because I don't want many questions that will corner me later. Not most of them who always spend their husband's money for personal needs and personal money into their own account, I turned upside down because I keep my own body, I keep my own body, I wanted to look at myself because of the trauma that was still lingering in my memory. I just divide the husband's money into 4 parts, his personal account, my account as a living, home installments and allowances for his mother.

"it's the same, the wife's money is used together, the husband's money is spent together" answered my mother

"what do you do there?" asked my mother "why should you marry a sirri to look after you?"

"i work in an office that used to be ma" I replied "in the boss who used to be, thank God until now still believed"

"yes sir, dian must always handle the clients who are mostly men sir, ma'am" said kang tristan chimed. "the car we use is a gift car from his client sir, while helping to win a job that is valued in the contract, the price is expensive"

My husband told me a lot about my life and his self while in the city, we both like this is not because of us barges, precisely our feet are always racing with time, not without motion because if there is no sustenance does not approach, we work hard that there is no end, he said, the noise of the city being a violin that is jointly played and dianed is part of the call.
