CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

Wedding Gifts

"So what are your plans now?" Lambok asked Krishna and Lita. They were sitting on the back porch of the house. Krisna is making a fish pond for the gurame fish cattle.

"Lita wants us to open the clinic again. Time in Kalimantan, Klinik Kita is quite crowded and has been known by many people. The message of herbal medicines is also quite good, but now we can not go back there, because the existence of Mr. Riji who is not satisfied destroys our lives, Pa." Obviously Lita.

"If it's Mr. Riji's problem, Papa will talk to Papa's confidants." Lambok.

"Like her we'll just stay here, Pa... Lita's more comfortable here, like." Krishna added.

"What is your land in Borneo then?" Ask Lambok.

"I've taken care of everything before our wedding. If anything happens to us, the Local Government will compensate us." Krishna Obviously.

Lambok.

"Yeahhh.... Hooohh.... Oma cape..." Suddenly Tia and Caca were already there.

"Opaaaa..." Shouted Caca. Directly to grow Lambok. Tristan rolled his head at Caca's behavior.

"Granddaughter Opa.. How come Oma's tired?" Asked Lambok who directly carried Caca. His Old Taste now feels lost due to the presence of the little Angels Krishna and Lita.

"Hehehe.... Oma I took a walk in Auntie Astid's garden." Lisp Caca.

Tia looks happy even though her body feels cape. But he feels young again.

Lambok and Tia have been living in Singapore for a week. They undo the intention of returning to Indonesia as soon as possible because Caca who treats them will long for the presence of a Grandchild.

"Iawang.... Don't make Oma tired... Poor's Oma." Krishna.

"What's wrong, Krishna. Caca had brought Mama back quickly, but Mama still wanted to go around." Tia Clear.

"Tuuhhh Oma will, Ayaaahhh...." Babe Caca.

"Huhaha...." Lambok and Tristan laughed.

Lita returned to the back porch while carrying a pot of warm and pastel sweet tea. "Drink first Ma..." Lita offered her Mama a cup of tea.

"Keep you when to return to Country I, Deck?" Ask Lita.

"Iihhh Brother... Brother ngusir me?" Tristan pouting.

Lita rattled Tristan's hair with a little tiptoe. "Not riled up, but what about your college?" Lita chuckles.

"I'm on a semester's leave, brother. There are still 2 months of my leave. Tristan. We haven't been kayaking together for a long time now, have we? Kak Vita and Kak Atala are not here. Brother Fathir also." Tristan said again.

Suddenly, Tristan's eyes shut him from behind.

Caca got straight down from Lambok's lap and hit the man who closed Tristan's eyes. "Don't hurt my Uncle...."

"Aduuuhh.... Oohhhh...." Atala... He looked down. "Look, there's a little fairy here." Atala immediately squatted to match her height with Caca.

Vita's been greeting her Mama and Papa. Hugged Lita and cupped her hands to Krishna.

Caca. Her cheeks are puffed up. Looks funny.

"Beautiful girl, what's your name?" Ask Atala.

"Gaca....!! Um don't hurt my Uncle!" Ketus.

Tristan laughed and crouched down with Atala.

Caca looked at Atala's face then returned to Tristan. "Kok face Om millip Uncle ciihhh???" Caca.

Atala embraces Tristan's shoulder. "Because of Om, his Big Brother Uncle. Her sister's mom Caca." Atala.

"Om, Caca's sister?" Ask Caca.

"And Auntie, Caca's Mother's Twins." Vita's been squatting. He was so anxious to hear Caca's chatter.

Caca looked at Vita's face then at her mother. Caca nodded. "Aunt boong... Auntie's face isn't millipedes Mom, but Oma's millip." Babe Caca.

"Duvuuhhh... Very cool siiihhh..." Vita pinches Caca's cheek.

"This is Mama Vita's name. Caca call Mama yeah..." Lita Pinta. Lita knows Vita misses the child from her marriage.

"So Caca has two mothers?" Ask Caca.

Vita nodded but her tears had already drowned because of haru. Lita embraces Vita's shoulder.

"And you have two fathers." Added Atala.

Caca looked towards Krishna. Krishna smiled and nodded.

"Yeeeii... Caca has so many mothers, Dad, there is Oma there is Opa, there is Uncle Tistan, Uncle Aham, Auntie Astid and Dede Abel... Caca ceneng...." Caca clapped.

Vita again pinched Caca's cheek.

Krishna wiped away her tears that had been cornered in her eyes. "Yes Allah... Alhamdulilla.. You gave Us a Family that loved Us very much." Krishna was very moved.

Lambok immediately grabbed onto Krishna's shoulder. And smile.

______________________________

One Month Later.

Lambok and Tia already know what the reason Lita left Leo and chose Krishna. Although many tears were spilled, but their sadness was treated when they saw Caca who came home with Astrid the other day.

Krisna is also working on Lita's treatment. She and Lita are concocting Medicines for their health.

"Mama and Papa have something for you." Lambok said to Lita and Krishna. They were sitting in the saung while feeding the gurame fish.

"What Pa?" Ask Lita and Krishna together.

Lambok gave Krisna a Map. "Is this Pa?" Ask Krishna.

"Open up.... And read...." Lambok Pinta.

Kristine looked at Lita. Lita nodded. Lita already knows what her Papa will give her. Two weeks ago her Papa asked Lita's opinion of this so that Krishna would not be offended.

"Pa... Krishna can't take this." Krisna said he gave Lambok a certificate of shop.

"Why?" Ask Lambok.

"It's too much. Anyway Krishna will work on his own from the sweat of Krishna." Krishna.

"Son.... Papa and Mama Mu sincere. You are also Papa's son." Lambok.

"But Pa....Krisna was afraid she couldn't make Lita happy and make Papa proud." Krisna said softly. She loves Lambok and Tia as much as her own biological parents.

Lambok and Tia smiled. They understood Krishna's rejection. "Papa and Mama know, you're very responsible to Lita and Caca. Think of this as your wedding gift from Us." Tia Clear.

"And this..." Tia gave Krisna an envelope. "That's from the Lita brothers in Jakarta and Sumatra. They haven't been able to come because of the busyness with their lives." Obviously Tia again.

Krisna opened the envelope. Two tickets to Country P for the honeymoon. Her marriage to Lita has been almost five months. But they're always preoccupied with their work.

"Pa... Ma's... This is too much for us." Krishna really does feel bad.

Lambok grabbed Krishna's shoulder. "Replace Son. Your approach is short. Relax there. Let Caca be with us. Vita is also very happy if Caca is with her during your honeymoon." Lambok Pinta.

Krishna looked at Lita's face. Lita blushed in embarrassment while nodding.

"Later home from Country P, you just started to open a clinic in the shophouse." Tia said.

"But Pa... Caca would cry if he didn't see both of us." Krishna.

"Caca we have compassion. And he's a very smart kid. He wants to stay with Vita." Lambok.

Krishna grabbed Lita's shoulder. And kiss Lita's forehead. "Krisna thanked Krishna and Caca for being well received in Mama and Papa's Family." Krishna returned to shed her tears.

Lita stroked Krishna's shoulder and wrapped her hand around Krishna's stomach. "Sister loves me very much. So my family loves Brother too." Said Lita.

Lambok and Tia nodded their heads. Now what do they think is the reason they're going to give Mr. Alex and Leo's Family.
