The day that Edi's father's family and Sofie's mother had been waiting for, finally came too. All of them, already waiting for the arrival of Yasmin, along with her husband and son, who will return to Indonesia, from Taiwan there.
Ara, along with her eyes, Edi's father and Sofie's mother, accompanied by their daughter-in-law, Juna, her husband Sekar. The others, just waiting for their arrival at home.
At home Edi's father and Sofie's mother, so crowded, with the arrival of their children's families, along with his grandchildren as well.
Anggi and Miko, initially also want to come to the airport, to pick up the arrival of their aunt and cousin, who they have not met in the last few days of this year.
Yasmin had returned several times to Indonesia, when Abhimanyu was still paralyzed, even though he was able to walk a little. But at that time he came home alone, and Nanda was still in Indonesia.
After that, she also returned to Indonesia again, along with her husband, when her brother, Sekar had just given birth.
Likewise, when Anjani has just given birth to her second child, Anggi. Yasmin also returned to Indonesia, though alone, and neither with her husband nor Nanda.
Yasmin's return to Indonesia, after marriage, was indeed more frequent than before she was married. But his return was never with his son, Nanda. It was because Nanda had to go to school, and could not take any holidays or leave, easily. Distinct from Indonesia, for their education system and learning. So also with the rules of the holiday, for children students, below the level of high school, or university.
That is why, he wants to go to school in Indonesia alone, in Jakarta, along with his other siblings, and live with his eyes, Edi's father and Sofie's mother.
At first, her stepfather asks her to stay in his hometown, but there is also no one to look after Nanda, although they both, Yasmin and her husband, will move to the area, where her husband's hometown is. But of course, it's not for the near future. There were still some things they had to think about and do, to carry out their plan.
"So Nanda's her boyfriend Ara's sister Ma?"
Suddenly, Miko who had been playing together with Anggi, asked her mother, Sekar.
"Eh, how do you know the word girlfriend?" sekar asked in shock, with a question asked by his son, who was still sitting on the kindergarten bench.
Abhimanyu and Anjani, who were in that place as well, just frowned, hearing a question from Miko on her mother, Sekar.
Anggi can also just be quiet, hearing the questions and answers given by his aunt, Sekar, who is the mother of Miko herself.
"And if there are girls and boys, who are already big and equally kangen, he said dating," said Miko, who gave an explanation to her mother, with the intention of the question she asked earlier.
"Indeed Miko heard what from Ara's sister?" ask Sekar again, to his son, Miko.
Now thinking if, his son, must have heard something from Ara or the others, while they were talking, about the arrival of Yasmin and Nanda today.
"It was yesterday-yesterday, when Mother Jani reminded Brother Ara, so as not to have any plans with his friend, today, because brother Nanda is coming. And Brother Ara said that if, he also had no plans to go anywhere, because he had missed out with brother Nanda. I see Ma, said Brother Ara, the same mother Jani. Isn't it Mother Jani?"
Anjani nods in agreement with the words and explanations given by Miko, to her mother, Sekar.
But after that, Anjani so make an excuse, to explain about the word 'kangen' meant by his son, Ara, at that time.
Another reason that made Ara say 'kangen' was the feeling she had, just like a brother. Because in the past, Nanda and Ara were often together, and were indeed nurtured by Anjani at that time. In fact, when Abhimanyu was paralyzed, and Nanda was still in Indonesia, Anjani also took care of him.
Abhimanyu and Sekar, seeming to nod in agreement with the words and explanations given by Anjani, to Miko. If the words of Ara with the word 'kangen' at that time were, the feelings that exist for fellow brothers, not as asked by Miko earlier.
"Miko if you don't play with Anggi, just one day, miss? want to come home and play with Anggi no?" asked Anjani, giving an easy example to Miko, well still small and could not easily understand everything he had explained.
"That's it... Miko!"
Anggi not accepted. He yells at Miko, because of the answer she gave to the mother. This certainly makes the two of them so nervous and noisy, so that the house of Edi's father and Sofie's mother is usually quiet, so crowded with the actions of Anggi and Miko.
Anjani and Abhimanyu, only able to dodge a few times, saw the behavior of their children.
So too with Sekar. He also laughed happily, stroking his enlarged stomach. He also dodged several times, because his son, Miko, was nosy with his cousin, Anggi.
*****
At Soekarno-Hatta international airport, Ara sits anxiously, along with her eyes, Edi's father and Sofie's mother, as she awaits the arrival of her cousin, Nanda, who will soon come along with his mother and also his stepfather. Aksen.
His stepfather Nanda, has plans ahead later, to retire from working in the Taiwanese country there.
Aksan and Yasmin, are planning to make a business, in his hometown of Aksan.
But because Yasmin is currently pregnant, and wants to give birth in Jakarta, the three of them finally returned to Indonesia first, before deciding to really retire from there.
Moreover, Nanda is also already big, and wants to go to school in Indonesia only. Finally, this exact time too, Yasmin went home with her family, to prepare herself for childbirth and Nanda's school transfer plan.
"Eyang. Not long?" asked Ara, who was clearly visible if she was impatiently waiting.
"In a few minutes, surely the plane will come Ara. Patience" replied Sofie's mother, her daughter.
"But it's been half an hour that we've been waiting for Eyang" said Ara, sulking like a child.
"We left early, and that was a pretty good road. So we arrived early too, right?"
Ara nodded her head, hearing the answer from her daughter's eyes. Although actually Ara still felt misgivings in the heart.
Ara also knew that, the arrival of her cousin's sister, Nanda, would still be a long time, for the next few minutes. But still, it did not detract from the feelings that were in his own heart.
There is a sense of kangen and also longing for his cousin, but Ara is also afraid, if Nanda has changed, and is no longer the same as before.
That's because Ara was afraid, if Nanda's association in Taiwan there, also participated in a free way, and certainly would not be the same as when in Indonesia first.
But fear and anxiety mixed with a sense of kangen, make Ara look like a sick person. And that made both of his eyes become worried about Ara's state.
"Ara, are you sick, honey?" sofie's mother asked, checking Ara's forehead, checking her grandson's body temperature.
"So. Ara doesn't hurt Eyang," elak Ara fast.
He felt fine, and did not feel any pain in his body. The two only felt happy, which was mixed with a feeling of anxiety, which he actually did not need to feel.
But it seemed, those two eyes of hers did not believe it just like that. The two of them, asking her daughter-in-law, Juna, to accompany Ara to buy drinks and food, because they think that Ara has not had breakfast, so that her body is not strong, because she feels hungry.
