Fistfuls

Papa's Decision

As promised, this afternoon Indra came home early and immediately prepared to take Gita to her Papa's house. Maybe if Gita is a man, Indra will not force to go home let it be as it pleases, but here Gita is a girl and she still has parents, and she has parents, yes, although in this apartment there is the brother but according to Indra it is very inappropriate if the girl does not go home.

"Is he ready?" asked the young man when he saw Gita's face behind the newly opened door.

"Udah Bang, but wait a minute. Come in first, it's okay, wait a minute?" Gita left the young man after seeing Indra nod.

Five minutes passed, Gita had returned with a small suitcase containing her personal belongings.

"Yuk Bang" said the girl.

Indra took over the suitcase that he thought was very mini, I don't know what it contained. If you think only two clothes will not fit in the suitcase.

"What's this suitcase?" the young man asked after the suitcase had turned into his hand.

"There you have," the girl replied, of course she did not want to say the contents of the suitcase, because it would be embarrassing if told about the contents. You can guess what it is, right?

Indra ruffled the girl's hair, anxious. Make the owner pout, and return to tidying the hair a little messy due to Indra.

The journey felt so fast, either because the distance was close or because they went through the journey with cool chatter, so it did not feel the car driven by Indra entered the yard Renaldy house.

Gita sighed when she realized they had arrived, a house she hadn't been to for a long time, but it felt the same. Because this house is reminiscent of a small cook first, even though the house has changed, but still the memory of the childhood was again seen.

"Why?" asked Indra to touch the girl's hand.

Gita shook her head, "Nothing Bang. I was waiting for Abang to come down first, keep opening the door for me, eh even dumbass there," chirped the girl reasoned, she did not want Indra to worry.

Indra smiled clumsyly, she thought that if Gita was still reluctant to get out of the car for another reason, uh the reason was like that. Rushes down, but Gita follows, perhaps for too long waiting for her.

"She asked to open the door?" ask the young man.

"What a delay." Gita walks first, leaving Indra who unloads the suitcase from the trunk.

The door opened, a middle-aged woman who looked very similar to the Mama, the difference if Mama covered her head with a hijab, the woman in front of her did not, even cut her hair shorter.

"Darling, you're finally here." The woman hugged Gita's body and was immediately reciprocated by the girl.

"Let's go in, Papa's been waiting for you two. Just go straight to the dining room, Papa's already there." The woman led the two lovebirds into the dining room. It turned out that Papa and Revan were already waiting for the two of them.

Revan greeted the two newly arrived men, hugging the older sister he had always missed.

"My little sister turned out to be this big huh? Look at our height is almost the same." The two chuckled as Gita equalized their height.

Turning from Revan, the two lovebirds greeted the Papa who sat quietly while watching the interaction of his two children.

Dinner this time feels different because plus the presence of the two people. There should have been Hafidz as well, but the young man was carrying out the duties of the Papa, replacing the Papa who had just returned home this morning from out of town. Hafidz is now there.

"You know, you two love each other. But are you sure you are going to live the household ark? Ready for all the consequences?" tanya Om Renaldy, responding to the words of Indra who wants to propose her daughter.

The two are now sitting in the garden next to the house, enjoying a cup of coffee that still emits the typical delicious smell of coffee.

Om Renaldy let out a long sigh, "If it is like that, let Gita finish her studies first." Break up that guy.

"Pa?" Gita who had just come to hear the words of the two men.

"I can continue my studies here" he sat down with the two men.

Renaldy looked at his daughter disliked, "Let Papa talk to Indra," he said in a landslide, making the girl only sigh violently.

"Gini, one year. Papa wants to see Indra's sincerity, not Papa does not believe in him, Papa is just afraid of past events repeated again with you." Papa looked at Gita who seemed to not accept his decision.

"For one year, let Indra prepare everything, prepare the household life with you later. If you two are married now, where would you like to live? Stay here, Papa okay, but you? You don't want to. Want to stay in an apartment?"

"Udah Pa, enough. Want to live anywhere, even if it's rented I don't have a problem. Not all that extravagant life guarantees happiness," Gita insists on keeping her wish.

As the girl was about to make her speech again, Indra touched the girl's hand, hoping not to continue.

"Okay Om, I'll wait for Gita until she finishes her college. And I promise, when you get married, you have your own house, you don't have to worry. I am not a cowardly man who easily betrayed the trust of Om and Mama Sinta." Indra accepts Renaldy's decision, he thinks it's better that way. All Om Renaldy's sayings are true, for now he will only give a burden to Gita if they get married now, because he does not have anything, he has nothing, everything he used right now belonged to the Opa.

"Indra is patient waiting for you, even you who have no patience," the papa's tease makes the girl even more sullen.

Gita left the two different men of that generation without a word, not knowing what was on her mind at the moment. Indra who saw that could only sigh, after this he had to give understanding to the girl.

"I'm sorry Ndra, Om did all that because Om loves Gita. Let him think of adulthood, if all his will and desires do not have to be fulfilled for a moment, because the Gita has always been like that, whether the same Mama like what, or how, but if it's the same, he's always been like that." Renaldy was not worried to see his daughter like that, because since childhood the girl was always obeyed all her will.

"It seems just the same Om and his brother, if the same Mama Sinta seems not." Indra knew a little about the girl, but never forced her wish on her.

The two men continued their conversation until the night grew late, Indra also said goodbye to Renaldy, because tomorrow had to go back to work.

"Udah, don't frown. Can't you wait to marry me?" ask Indra with a meaningful smile.

Gita glanced at Indra at a glance, then threw away her face. Why did the young man think the same as the Papa? He is ashamed, but the reason is not that.

"Not so Bang, I just don't want the LDR anymore. I can't shadow you, far from you Bang," he said spoiled.

"Didn't you believe me?" indra asked, looking at the girl who was now also staring at him.

"I believe in you, brother" he answered with conviction.

"Then you don't have to worry. I will also prepare for our future lives. Already yes, accept Papa's decision, because it's all the best in my opinion." Indra rubbed the top of the Gita's head.

The girl let out a long sigh, "Judah, I can do anything but accept it" she said.

Indra nodded, "Yaudah Abang came home, tomorrow brother delivered to Meta's house, if you want to stay there," he said.

They ended the meeting tonight with a long hug. After that, Indra completely left the mansion.
