85. Visit to Candidate-in-Law

On this day's occasion Kirana took turns visiting the home of her future father-in-law. Galih had no parents for a long time, but with the kindness of Pratama Aji and Adiratna Galih could feel the family back. Although Galih really joined this family not long ago but he never felt rejection even from the archipelago which is the youngest Aditama Family.

Kirana's been back from the cafe since noon. Lucy is in the cafe and Kirana does not have a job that urges her to be allowed to go home early. Kirana and Kaori are currently colonizing Mother Ratna's kitchen and removing almost all of her cooking utensils to make this and that.

“Kaori, Kirana.”

“Yes well?”

“Request eggplant balado yes,” ask Pak Aji on his son-in-law and future daughter-in-law.

“Beres.”

“Dad go first with Mother, later if Nusantara until Dad has not returned Aksa or Galih told to pick up at the station,” Dad said.

“Shap ndan,” replied Kaori.

After parting ways with his two daughters-in-law, Pak Aji walked up to Amira who was playing with Azka, son of Aksara and Kaori who was only 3 months old. Azka has not done much work. He would just squirm, kick around, and laugh when teased but Amira looked so cool playing with him.

“Amira, Azka, grandpa go first yes,” farewell Pak Aji.

“Ati-ati grandfather,” said Amira as she kissed her hand.

“Cati Pa, do not go home kemaleman, do not need to support ngide stay cation all. It's your mom cook a lot, anyway the same father Mother must go home. The honeymoon is tomorrow again,” said Aksara who sat watching Amira and Azka.

“Sewot very same father yourself you, wonder. Whose son is it?”

“The firstborn of pride Queen Mother Adiratna Widiyatna, what?” aksara.

“Sak karepmu,” Pak Aji replied in a lazy tone. Already memorized him with Aksara's answer, but strangely he kept nyeplos asking so.

“Where are you Sir, neat very?” this time it was Galih who asked.

“Date, mumpung your mother wants to be invited on a date,” replied Mr. Aji.

“Emang actually newlyweds forget age,” Galih follow sewot.

“That's why I'm leaving, rather than being the months of you two. Assalamualaikum,” finally Pak Aji really saying goodbye.

“Waalaikumsalam,” reply all over the house.

Kirana and Kaori continue their work in the kitchen, Aksara is washing clothes while Galih helps put Azka and Amira to sleep on the mat in front of the television. Kaori sat down while making the lumpia, while Kirana stood in front of the stove checking the soto sauce she was cooking.

“Ki..., know not?” ask Kaori.

“Ngak.”

“Not yet dear story,” says Kaori.

“News dong let me know,” replied Kirana who managed to upset her friend.

“I'm so full of fun. You want to be my brother-in-law. In the past we never joke if I really want you to be the same I am both so bhayangkari, if there comes a meeting together, there is arisan together, social service also together? Now all our jokes at that time will come true,” Kaori said.

“Kirain why. know it because of that,” said Kirana who secretly smiled. He felt such a huge acceptance.

“You know? I don't think it either. Meet, get acquainted, get close, and put your heart on someone. I just wish aa Galih was the last one. Whatever happens he has to be the last,” Kirana told Kaori.

“Do not hesitate to make a story yes, if possible your friends are busy again I want to hear your story. We used to deket Ki, I hope we can go back to familiar again,” said Kaori.

“Insyaallah,” replied Kirana with a smile.

When dinner time comes, the entire Aditama family gathers in the living room to have dinner together and blow out the candles. The wedding anniversary of Pak Aji and Bu Ratna is close to his second birthday, so tonight is not only celebrating the anniversary of the wedding but also thanks from Mr. Aji and his wife for being given age and the opportunity to breathe.

“Yee~ happy birthday Father, Mother,” said Kaori who applauded with her son.

“Thank you dear,” replied Bu Ratna.

“Happy birthday yes aunt, long life and healthy always, om too,” this time Kirana who congratulated.

“Ki, try to replace it. Gatel really miss her,” said Bu Ratna trying to correct Kirana's call.

“Call her Mom or Mother only Ki, do not aunt. People already want to marry you same Galih,” said Aksara.

“By emang?” asked Kirana innocently.

“That's it, try calling once again the real one,” said Bu Ratna.

“Iya Bu,” says Kirana.

“That's a good thing,” said Bu Ratna made Kirana smile.

“By the way about marriage, when do you want to marry?” ask Mr. Aji.

“Father when is there time? Anterin is the time yes I went there alone Sir,” said Galih.

“It's not common to go there alone?”

“No sir, it's different,” whine Galih.

“Iya, yes, set aja later Mr. ngikut,” said Mr. Aji.

“Inget yes Mother once said, fall in love slowly and..,”

“Enjoy the process,” replied Galih and Aksara alternately.

Galih first drove Kirana and Amira to go home, while on the way Amira looked so happy looking to the right and left that the scenery was also often seen, he had also seen, but because his mood was good at the moment the scene became different.

“Papa, papa, look at it there is a horse,” Amira said to Galih who was trying to penetrate the city crowd.

“Yes, Papa can not see dong Papa will focus on the road. Amira only see yes, later Amira the same story Papa,” said Galih so gently to his daughter.

“Amira at this hour has not drowsy, tomorrow morning if you wake up late how do you,” said Kirana while stroking Amira's hair that has started long.

“Crowded Ma, but Amila hasn't wanted to bust. Not yet read the fairy tale with Papa,” said Amira.

“Amira is already big time to be read a fairy tale anyway. This is the same Papa, all day also been playing together. Now sleep aja yuk, here Mama pangku,” said Kirana.

“Down said Mama, Amira was not read a fairy tale with Papa is not papa. Papa will keep the same Amira, from now on Amira does not need to fear again Papa will leave. Papa knows Amira asked Papa to bacain fairy tale so Papa can both Amira continue right?” ask Galih.

“Abis Amila is afraid Papa will be rich pelgi Papa Laihan,” he said suddenly sad.

“Ngak. Papa won't be rich Papa Raihan's gone. Papa will always be there with Amira as well. Papa promise,” says Galih.

Amira smiled and began to correct her position so that she was comfortable sleeping in the lap of her mother who was also tired, “Papa promised yes, Papa will always be the same Mama with Amila, Papa will always love Mama too,” said Amira.

“Iya Papa promise,” replied Galih.

“Tuh promised Papa. Now Amira sleeps yes, prayer first do not forget,” Kirana's command was immediately executed by Amira who began to pray.
