Finding the Heart

The Morning Sun Shines

The entire Marabahan family gathered in the dining room at the house of Yudha Lintang Marabahan. The eldest son of Rainal Juan Marabahan and Yulia Citra Marabahan. Plus a handsome and agile grandson, Yudha's tormented son, Andhika Alzio Marabahan. Soon they will welcome the presence of their second child.

This was the first time they had gathered together in this conversation. After decades of separation they were finally able to unite again. There were so many smiles and laughter among them that morning, like the warm rays of the morning sun.

"Dhika, eat a lot ya dear" said Juan.

"A lot of people, Cake. I'll be fat like Aunt Adel"

Everyone who sat at the dinner table broke into laughter. Adel glared at the words of his father. Then reflexively he held her cheek.

"What is it? The hell is that?"

Yudha glanced towards her youngest dowel.

"Little kids are usually honest lo, Deck"

Adel turned his lips. He was upset at the bully by the father and the boy. They are very compact if the business of judging people.

"Bapak the same son. Jahil. Evil iih... "

"Look at the mirror, Aunty. Bbpu ... "

Grrrr. Adellia got up from her chair intending to approach Dhika and pinch her cheek. But Dhika acted faster. He first got out of his chair and ran towards Yudha, his father. He hugged Yudha's waist. Hiding his face in Yudha's body.

"Taste you, baby..."

Adel showered his father with cunning. Dhika hides her face in her Papa's arms.

"Have ... already .. don't be kidding. Continue eating it", Juan said.

"The more allies this child has" protested Adel.

Adellia and Dhika returned to their seats. And spend their nice breakfast.

"How do you do, Yudha. Will I move to Indonesia?"

"Yes, Pa. Yudha has submitted a proposal to the Foreign Ministry. Yudha was promoted to Head of the Legal and Administrative Bureau of the Ministry and Representatives. Next week his sertijab. Hopefully there are no obstacles"

"Aami... I wish you all the best, son"

"Papa's message, being a state official is heavy, Yudha. You must hold fast to honesty and loyalty to the country. Don't betray your own people"

"God's insha, Pa. Yudha will always hold fast to the message, Papa"

"Aami... Papa trusts you"

The sound of someone vomiting from inside the house. Yudha has it right that it was his wife's voice. He got up from his seat and ran inside. Risa came out of the bathroom with a limp body and a head that was twitching. Yudha approached and embraced him. He rubbed his wife's shoulder and kissed her head.

She understood very well that the woman she loved was struggling to conceive her child. A very tough fight for a woman. Yudha led his wife into the middle room. Laying a soft pillow for his wife's headrest.

"Sir, Risa ain't nothing?"

Risa shakes. He's still closing his mouth. Trying to hold back the nausea from inside his stomach. Dicky, who also saw the fatigue of his brother-in-law, became pity.

Yudha, sitting next to his wife. Risa put her head on her husband's chest. She cried. For some reason in this second pregnancy he became very melancholy. It was different with his first child.

"Sir ..."

"Hm ..."

"I want to eat ponkam oranges"

Yudha surprised. Find where the orange ponkam is. It's not the Chinese season anymore. If when Xin Chia was easy to scream, in the mall also a lot, he thought. Yudha only grinned while scratching her head.

"Find me a doong".", Risa's yank to Yudha.

"okay ... Okay ... wait here first yes, Brother Yudha and Dicky go first"

Risa is happy. He leaned his head deeper on the seat cushion. Yudha pulled out her sister's hand. Take her away.

"Where are we looking, brother?"

Yudha shook her head.

"Where Brother Yudha knows, Deck. It's not Xin Chia's season"

Yudha and Dicky looked at each other. Then they headed for the car. Yudha sat behind the wheel. He drove his car to the city center.
