Darren, Darrel and Gio were already well dressed and waiting in the living room. A few minutes later, Alula appears with Gara walking towards them.
"Come on!" Said Gara who immediately got the nod of the three. They rushed to the front yard, where the car they were going to use had been prepared.
Today they are going to the tomb of Mother Gara and Gio. Gara wanted to bring his sister, children and also his future wife to visit the tomb of the woman who had given birth to him.
"Dad, are you glad we visited her?" Darrel asked as the car drove away from home.
Gara who was in the front seat beside Gio driving also turned to him. "Of course grandma is happy. You're a cute and nice granddaughter of grandma. Plus there's a prospective daughter-in-law. Moreover, there is your uncle. Grandma hasn't seen your uncle in a long time. Of course Grandma will be very happy."
"Ah, shukullah. I'm a granny's picky gonna be just like Grandma Laula."
Because speechless. Alula who was able to catch Gara's dislike expression when she heard Darrel's words turned to the boy. He rubbed Darrel's head and smiled at her.
"Darling, everyone is different. Don't judge people if you don't know the truth. Okay?"
"Yes, Mom."
"Smart son's mother."
"Mother's Son is Father." Timpal Darren, make Alula smile. Not only Alula, Gara who showed her sour face also smiled. Making Gio who was driving look up at the car glass and look at Darren's face for a moment.
"Smart you, son. Just know how to make parents happy. Hope you have a kid like Darren. Aamiin's." Said Gio, while occasionally staring at the car glass.
"Why don't I, uncle?" Darrel.
"Engga. You're chatty, stingy too."
"Dallel is going with uncle. Pelit is also with uncle."
"Eh, when is uncle stingy with you?"
"Emmm... Try Dallel pikil-pebbles first." Darrel held his head while tapping his finger there.
"His pussy uncle doesn't want to be stingy with Dallel." The boy said plainly.
"Well, right uncle never stingy. You are the original recriminator."
"So how? Want to have a kid like Dallel, right?"
"Relgan."
"Yeahhh... Uncle ngeselin." His brother to the father. For taking his breath. Gio likes to bother Darrel. Wanted to be angry at Gio, but he didn't have the heart. He found it after decades of disappearance. This was not a big deal that made him angry.
"Leave it. You're Dad's son." Answer Gara.
"Yes. I've got a Dad. Why is it so subtle uncle. My father is handsome. That uncle is ugly."
"Dirty gini, still your uncle."
"Don't want an uncle like an uncle."
"Darrel baby, don't talk about it, okay?" Alula said, reprimanding him.
"Biarin. Anyway, no uncle, no aunty." Gio still did not want to lose.
"Dallel has aunty, yeah. Her name is aunty Ana." Strictly by pressing the word aunty Ana. After that, he leaned back by folding his hands on his chest and weaving his lips.
Darren who was beside Darrel turned to look at his sister. A smile rose on his lips. Darrel's facial expression was adorable to him. The weakness, do not like to see Darrel sulking even though it looks adorable, especially until the child cries.
He reached into his pants pocket. There's some rubber bands in there. "Darrel, look at this!"
Darren began to play the rubber band on the fingers of both hands. It forms the rubber into houses, butterflies and spider webs. It made Darrel smile. He just found out, if rubber bands can be made like that.
"Well, it's obvious that the bracelet can be formed." Said amazed.
"You like it?"
Darrel enthusiastically nodded. "I want to try it."
"It!" Darren gives Darrel a rubber band and teaches Darrel to shape the rubber into the shape he made earlier.
The interaction of the two is inseparable from the vision of the three adults. They also smiled at the behavior of the two children.
The atmosphere in the car was boisterous with the voice of Darrel who kept asking Darren. Until it was not felt, they had entered the cemetery area.
Gio parked the car in the parking lot provided. After that, they both went down and went to the tombs of Tania, Ibu Gara and Gio.
They sprinkled the flowers they brought over Tania's tomb, then sat crouching around the tomb. Then both bow to send prayers to the mother.
"Mother, it's Gara. Gara came with Alula, Gara's future wife, and also Darren Darrel, Gara's son, Mother's grandson. Because bring someone too. He's Gio. The one who I always wait for his arrival. The one who I always expected his presence. The one who always wanted me to hug. He's our Gio, Alex. My sister. The missing mother's son. He's back with us, ma'am." Saying, after praying.
Gio looked at Gara's face for a moment, then looked down again. His eyes traced a gravestone that read his mother's name.
"Mother." Saying Gara. "It's me, Gio. I told you I was Alex. But, I prefer to be called Gio. But, if Mom likes to call me Alex, I'll love it too." Gio.
Loved you. Inner Gio.
Alula, Darren and Darrel who had been silent since then also spoke. They introduced themselves in front of Mother Gara's grave. It was as if the dead woman had heard and seen everything they did.
When they finished, they returned home. Not Gara's house, but his father's. However, there was something surprising when they got there.
"They! What are you doing?" Gara. His face was so full of anger. Her half-sister, Viko brought quite a number of her friends home. The house was a mess because of the many pea skins and scattered drink bottles.
"Hi, sis. You came here too. Did you miss me? Or do you want to give your future beautiful wife to me?" Viko. The smell of the drink smelled from his mouth as he spoke.
"You!" Because he raised his hand to hit Viko. However, Alula immediately clasped her next hand, trying to ease the anger within her.
"Don't hit him. He was drunk. Remember that! We're here to see Dad." Alula Briefs.
For lowering his hand. But, the flames of anger had yet to be completely extinguished.
"Why stop? Not gonna hit me?" Ask Viko, challenge.
Viko's friends can only watch the brother and half-sister quarrel. Wanting to defend Viko, but the aura of hostility seen from Gara is stronger. Make them shrink for a moment.
Because he took his breath. "Where's Dad?"
"Just look in his room. The asthma's relapsing." Answer the man. His face turned serious.
"Bring your friends out. By the time I get through this place again, everything is clean." Gara said, then left with Alula's hand. Followed by Gio who took the twins on both sides.
"Aarrggh..." Shouted Viko. He looked one by one at the faces of his friends. As if they understood, they left the house.
"Clean all this up." Viko's orders to a servant. Then, he staggered towards his room.
***
Darren and Darrel sit on the left and right sides of Ginanjar. Meanwhile Gara, Gio and Alula, sit at the side of Ginanjar's bed.
The two children kept staring at Ginanjar's face. Making the man chuckle little returned their gazes.
"Why are you staring at Grandpa like that?" He asked while rubbing the heads of his two grandchildren.
"Said uncle earlier, grandpa's asthma relapsed." Darrel.
"Whose uncle?"
"Equation..." The Jedanya, keep thinking uncle's name in the meaning. Before long, he looked at Darren. "Dallen's. What was uncle's name?"
"Uncle Viko."
"Yes, uncle Viko."
"The vic? The kid's here?" Ginanjar asked, looking at Gara.
"Yes, he's with his friends."
Ginanjar was silent for a moment. He took a slow breath and breathed it out. There was something he was thinking.
"How's Dad doing?" Ask Alula. The woman looks worried. Two days ago, the old man did not visit them. And today they decided to meet him after from the tomb of Mother Gara.
"Dad is better. The family doctor already gave me the medicine."
"Thank God."
"Alex, why are you just quiet?" Ask Ginanjar to Gio.
"I'm. It's okay. Did Dad eat? I'll feed Dad."
"no need. I just finished eating."
Gio smiled at him. To be honest, he was very worried about his father. He had just visited his mother's grave. The man he had seen before apparently. And now, he found his father sick. He did not want to lose that aging face from his sight. He wants to feel happiness with them, and give happiness to them.
"Grandpa's sick? Let me massage." Darren holds Ginanjar's leg.
"no need. There's only two grandchildren here, Grandpa's sick will be gone and healed."
"Oh, huh? Just the two of them? All right, I better just go home." Said Gio, pretending to sulk.
"You too. Come on over here."
"Yes." Yeah." His excitement made everyone in the room chuckle softly at Gio's behavior.
"Haha... Uncle is like a little boy."
"Belvin. Wlee.." -..." Said Gio while sticking his tongue towards Darrel.
