"You really don't want to go with Mama Nda?"
Once again, Yasmin asked her son, Nanda, who did not want to go with her to settle in her husband's hometown, Aksan.
"No Ma. But, tomorrow Nanda will take Mama home. Join the entourage of Eyang and the others as well."
From the beginning, when Yasmin and Aksan had plans to stay in his hometown, Nanda said that, he could not come along.
Besides because in the village is not his home, he also does not want to go far from his om family, the Abhimanyu family. So, Nanda decides to stay in Jakarta, along with her eyes, Edi's father and Sofie's mother.
Yasmine was actually not heartless, but the two were also unable to force her child.
And so is Aksan. Although Dus had also loved his wife's child, but still, he did not want to be counted as authoritarian, and forced his own will, to Nanda.
"But, you have to go to the village often, on vacation or whatever. Nda's mom and sister, too." Aksan gave some advice, to his stepson, who was already a teenager, and no longer a child like before.
"Yes Pa. As much as possible, if there is time, Nanda will visit the village. Isn't Nanda Papa's son?" asked Nanda, who actually knew, if her father Aksan, also loved her very much
"Of course!"
And finally, Aksan hugged Nanda, with a smile of happiness from Yasmin.
Tonight, they were looking around again, all the necessities and items they would bring to the village.
There's Sofie's mom, too, who's taking care of their baby.
All their baby gear, already set aside, because it was checked by Yasmin. Now, just check their other luggage as well.
"Nda, come with Papa for a while yuk," Aksan asked, while embracing Nanda.
Nanda stepped up, following the steps of her father, Aksan.
"Where's Pa?" asked Nanda, who did not know where her father meant.
But Aksan did not directly answer Nanda's question. She took her son to her room, Nanda herself.
While in the room, Yasmin sees her mother, Sofie's mother, hesitantly, as she invites her son, Nanda, to come out of the room.
'Where are they going?' yasmin asked, but only in her heart.
The same question happened to Shofie's mother. Two looked in confusion, towards his son.
"Where are they Yas?"
Finally, Sofie's mother asked her son, Yasmin. He was curious as to what Aksan wanted to convey, to his grandson, Nanda.
"Don't know Mom. It may be ads for goods or needs that Aksan wants, and ask Nanda to help him," replied Yasmin, who actually also knows nothing.
*****
Outside Yasmin's room. In front of Nanda's own room.
Clamps!
The door opens Aksan. He invited Nanda in.
Nanda simply complied, when invited to go into his own room. He had no idea what his father, Aksan, was trying to convey.
And this is their talk, the talk of two men, with their own eyes.
"Nda. Actually, Papa would rather you come to the village. Because then, your mother will be calmer. But, Papa can't force you either. Because Papa also knows, in the village there, there are no school facilities that are as good as in Jakarta. So, Papa hope, you didn't disappoint Mama, and neither did Papa. And most importantly, you don't have to think about money. Papa's gonna keep paying for your school."
Nanda smiled happily, upon hearing the words spoken by her father, Aksan.
Aksan invited Nanda to speak in his own room because, he did not want to make Yasmin feel sad. He also did not want to be considered just to get more sympathy from his wife and mother-in-law alone.
Though Nanda himself also knew, if the papa continued, much more singing, compared with his own papa, Wawan.
Although in fact, Yasmin also knew, if her husband was, it really loved her son, Nanda.
Moreover, in her room there was also her mother-in-law, Sofie's mother, who was helping Yasmin put her baby to sleep.
Aksan was only a village man, who was not highly educated. But it makes him very sincere, and does not distinguish between the biological child and his stepson.
Aksan is also a man who is willing to try and work hard. That is why, he can already have his own business, in a time when savings while working abroad, in Taiwan there, is enough.
Especially now, he also had a life together with his family. Yasmin, as his wife, was also willing to help him and support his efforts during this time.
Yasmin was also not ashamed, and wanted to be invited to live in her hometown.
It all made Aksan feel happy. Coupled with the presence of their child, who is currently three months old.
*****
The Abhimanyu house.
"Mother. Tomorrow we will be taking a friend of Yasmin's aunt and Aksan's mother back to the village?"
"Yes Kak" Anjani replied, as Ara asked again.
This was the umpteenth time Ara's question. Two, Ara, was very enthusiastic to be able to come to his hometown Aksan.
He thought that, in his hometown of Aksan, it was the same as in Bogor. At his parents' house, which is now a cafe, and also a boarding house.
Anjani House in Bogor, is also open as a boarding house, because it is more often empty. So, it is better to be used as a place of business.
*****
The salvation of his son Sekar is finished. That is why, Yasmin and Aksan will soon carry out their plan, to move and settle in his village of Aksan.
The freight truck, already on lease, along with the driver as well.
So will the bus that they will use to transport all members of his family.
All are ready and will leave this morning. There are holidays, so there is no reason for those who work in the office or go to school.
Unfortunately, Miko only comes alone, representing the Sekar family.
Miko's mother, Sekar, was forced to not be able to participate, on their way to take Yasmin and Aksan to her village.
She is unlikely to take her baby with her, on the long journey to her hometown of Aksan. Because it could be, the baby will fall ill, because of the circumstances during the trip.
His son was a baby and only two weeks old. While Juna, must be at home, accompany his wife and baby child as well.
Only Miko came along, along with the Abhimanyu family.
There's Edi's father and Sofie's mother, too. And Nanda too.
They were all ready to board the bus, which would take them all to her husband Yasmin's hometown. Aksan.
There will be two vehicles, which will go to the village, namely one truck fleet, as a vehicle that transports goods, and another bus, which is used for everyone's vehicles.
They happily accompanied and delivered the return of Yasmin and Aksan, who would settle in their hometown.
And Nanda, will remain in Jakarta, for the benefit of his education and school. He will live together with his daughter Eyang Kakung and Eyang. Edi's father and Sofie's mother, all to accompany the old days of both.
