Time goes as it should. Seconds to minutes, minutes to hours. While the clock goes to the change of days, weeks, then months and years.
So is the life of Anjani's family. Everything goes as well as life does for others.
There is happiness and sadness that they feel alternately. There is no eternal happiness.
So does sadness, nothing is eternal. They exist and always side by side. Switch to give color to someone's life, and everyone must feel all that.
At present, five years have passed, after Abhimanyu underwent spinal surgery. He also had another operation, to retrieve the pen attached to all of his limbs, which he had been fitted with, to help with the healing process and the position of his bones.
Abhimanyu also worked again, although he did not drive himself. He always uses an ojek or taxi, for his transportation, when leaving and returning to the office.
Sometimes, Juna, her husband Sekar, came to pick her up, to be able to leave together by motorbike, if Juna was not in a hurry.
This was because now, Sekar and Juna were already living in their own homes, and the housing they occupied, was not too far from Edi's father's house.
Now, no longer working. She takes care of her own child, and takes care of all her own household chores as well. Given the condition of Juna, who works as an ordinary civil servant.
Sekar did not want to, spoiled by spending the salary of her husband, because they still have to pay for the house they occupy on credit. Most importantly, they are independent.
Such is the will of Sekar and Juna.
Anjani also actually wants to live in her own home. Two felt that it had been too much trouble for her in-laws all along.
But because their financial circumstances had not been possible, and Abhimanyu refused to take housing loans, eventually for a while, they remained at Edi's father's house.
Although in fact, Edi's father and Sofie's mother, never felt objected and bothered. But of course, whose name is family, want to have their own home, moreover, once, they also already have a home and live alone, separated from the parents' family.
"Honey. Tomorrow, if our savings are enough, should you buy a car first, or a house first?" ask Abhimanyu one day.
"Home first Mas. We can't possibly have daddy's house forever, can we?" anjani answered, making the bed.
"Yes too. But Mas also needs a vehicle for work, how?" Abhimanyu, expressed his desire, which became his need.
"Mas is already strong drive yourself? or we should buy a motorcycle first. The car can be delayed, right?" Anjani gave a proposal.
"Yes right too. But our savings today, still less to buy a house. You can still be patient, right, honey?" ask Abhimanyu, while looking at the phone screen, looking for a savings app, to see his account balance last time.
"Ia Mas's. Jani was patient, "Jani replied, smiling.
Now, Jani had finished making the bed, then walked towards Abhimanyu's seat. She sat down in the other chair, then opened the packs of medicine, which her husband still had to consume, even though he only drank once a day. Because of these drugs, to maintain bone health and vitamins that Abhimanyu still needs.
"Your mother will be brought by Yasmin Mas if she comes home tomorrow?" ask Anjani, who asked about Nanda.
A few weeks ago, Yasmin gave news that she and her husband, Aksan, had been living in Taiwan, so she wanted to invite Nanda to live there.
Anjani is confused, when asked his own opinion about the plans of his sister, Yasmin.
Of course Anjani is confused. During this time, Nanda was used to living in her care, along with her son, Ara. He felt lost, if Nanda had to leave, and this was not for a day of two days only, but within an indeterminate time limit. Because for him, Nanda is not just a nephew, but already like his own son.
In fact, Anjani could not imagine how her son, Ara, felt. That was because all this time, Ara had also gotten used to being with her cousin. They were both like sisters, and not ordinary cousins.
"Do you mind?" ask Abhimanyu again, because Anjani did not immediately answer the question from him earlier. He seemed to know what his wife was feeling.
"Didn't you think about how Ara would feel, if Nanda left?" ask Anjani, who did not answer the question from her husband.
"Actually, if I'm honest. I also felt heavy. But we also cannot be selfish. We must also know what it is like to part with a child for a long time. I can't imagine, if Yasmin was me, who couldn't meet my son in years. It's just as hard for me too" replied Abhimanyu.
Two explain how his own heart would be, if Yasmin's plan were to actually happen.
"We leave it to Nanda. Let him who chooses himself, will follow or not with his mother. We can only explain to him, and must not give any judgment."
Anjani nodded in agreement to Abhimanyu's words. He himself did not know what to do. Because of course, Yasmin is certainly more entitled to Nanda, compared to her or her husband.
So did Edi's father and Sofie's mother. The two of them, just Nanda's grandmother and grandfather. The two of them, can only give good advice and advice to Yasmin, if you want to invite her son, Nanda, to be able to live with her, in Taiwan.
"Is Yasmin not wanting to get pregnant again? to be a friend of Nanda too, right," asked Anjani wanted to know.
"Say Aksan, last year, Yasmin was actually pregnant. But it must be aborted, because the development of the fetus is not normal," replied Abhimanyu with a sad face.
"And according to the attending physician, Yasmin was asked not to become pregnant again in these three years," Abhimanyu added, giving an explanation to Anjani.
Anjani nodded her head hearing the explanation from her husband. She had heard about Yasmin's pregnancy. But a few months later, Yasmin was declared a miscarriage.
That's all Anjani knows about her sister-in-law's pregnancy.
"Yes, we should go to sleep" asked Abhimanyu, after he finished taking his medicine.
Anjani nodded in agreement. He also started to get sleepy. But before he lay in bed, he said goodbye to Abhimanyu, to see the situation of his sons, Ara and Nanda, who were now sleeping separately, in different rooms.
Ara was still occupying her old room, but Nanda, already asked Anjani to sleep alone, and occupy her mother's room, Yasmin.
This was because the age of the two of them, Ara and Nanda, was getting bigger and indeed they should not sleep in the same room.
In addition to educating children to be brave and independent, Anjani also did not want anything to happen to the two children. Because they are not real siblings. And the two of them, also knew about it.
So, since the two of them entered elementary school, their rooms have both started to be separated by Anjani. And this got the approval of her husband, and also her two in-laws. Anjani is unlikely to make a decision, without asking for opinions from the people in the house as well. And all this, for the good of all of them, not just their two children.
