That afternoon a couple of husband and wife had arrived at Dad's house. Both were packing in the room. The sound of a knock on the door of Alfi's room made Andreas stop his activities. The man walked up to the door and opened it.
"Mom's kindly greeting Andreas when he saw Mother who was standing in front of the door.
'' Can you talk to me for a minute ?'' ask me not to look at the daughter-in-law. Andreas nodded while answering. " Could be ma'am, Andre said it first with Alfi ''
'' I want to talk to you, added Mom. Andreas smiled and nodded.
'' Yes ma'am, Andre said to Alfi '' said Andreas as he approached the wife.
" Dear, I want to chat first with mom, you wait a minute ya pamit Andreas while pinning a kiss on the forehead of the wife. Alfi smiled as he nodded. The mother who saw their romance smiled, there was relief emanating from that shady face.
" Let's go !" andreas said politely. Mother nodded and walked ahead of Andreas. Mother continued to step through the living room and ended up on the side porch of the house. Sit in the chair available there.
'' Sit down son !" pinta mom pointed at the chair that was located next to each other but blocked the small table there.
Mother looked sighing, her gaze looking far ahead. I don't know what Mom is thinking. Looking from the look in his eyes, there was a gloomy person greeting the woman.
'' Son, I believe in you. I'm sure you love and love your child sincerely, you don't doubt that. I only ask for help if Alfi has not met the criteria of your dream wife, guide her. Remind him if he's wrong. She's just a country girl who doesn't know about life in the city, the company in the city. Please teach her to be a woman who deserves to be next to you. As parents, Mom and Dad have educated her as much as we can. But I realize we as parents are far from perfect." Mom paused for a moment, her eyes glazed over.
Tears are no longer bearable. It flowed slowly on the cheeks that were beginning to appear aging. The weight of his heart took the child off. It felt like just yesterday she was holding her little girl. Now he must release it to someone who has become the priest of the child.
" Please take care." said Mother stammered as she wiped her tears. " Get Alfi, watch her heart. He's not doing well. Even though he tried to keep smiling with his condition. But I know, this is the toughest phase of her life. Give him more confidence, convince him to keep trying to heal when he gives up. Mom knew there was a time when she wanted to stop trying, when she felt her efforts were in vain." Mom nodded, silencing her own mouth. He held back the tears that kept falling.
" He's not as tough as we see, he's just trying to look strong. I often see her crying herself, it hurts, it hurts so much here" she said, patting her own chest. Andrew could no longer hold back his tears. He cried, got up from his seat. And sit down in front of mom.
" Andreas promises Bu, as much as Andreas can take care of Alfi, Andreas will try his best to make him happy. Pray that Andreas can be a good priest for Alfi Bu "Andreas said, Your mother patted the man on the shoulder in front of her.
" Stand up son, my mother always prays her best for you. Whatever happens, keep looking after each other, trust each other and understand each other. Andreas who had now stood up nodded.
She wiped the rest of her tears. Breathing deeply, calming the rumbling in his chest.
" Mommy comes in first, wants to prepare lunch" said Mother as she stood and patted the daughter-in-law's shoulder.
" Yes Bu "sahut Andreas who is still on the spot. Seeing the woman who had given birth to his wife disappear behind the door.
Andreas wiped the tears that almost dried on his cheek. The tightness in his heart began to feel relief. Realize how the wife is a pearl in this house. He promised himself that he would never waste her. She will make her woman as a high-level woman and position in her life.
After being able to control himself, and normalize his face again. Andreas went back into the room. It turned out that there was Salwa and her little baby.
" It's a good fit, yang, do you want a girl what a guy ?" andreas asked with a raised smile, stepped closer to his wife and grabbed onto Alfi's shoulders. Subjecting her head looked at the tiny face that looked cute and adorable.
" What the hell is mas ?" alfi blushed, throwing his face away. Andreas smiled happily then pinched his wife's nose.
" Had the bucin again. The world seems to belong to both, we are just a Dek ad" Salwa said to her baby when she put Alfi's clothes in a suitcase located next to Alfi. Andreas chuckled, hearing the curse of the brother-in-law.
" Why Sal?, hot ?" ledek Andreas, Salwa is upset.
" Ordinary Sal, usually also I am the audience kebucinan you there Mas Fariz "add Alfi, Salwa did not respond, he melengos then walk back to the wardrobe Alfi.
" Mad Fariz, hurry home. Let's not be a doang audience " said Salwa while taking a pile of Alfi clothes. Making a couple of husband and wife laugh.
" Sayamu Sal, already the most persecuted, "Alfi chirped at the friend.
" Gayamu Al, already the most bucolic "reply Salwa. Make them laugh.
Andrew saw the other side of his wife this time. His calm, gentle wife always smiled sweetly. It turns out that when with his best friend crowded too.
" A lot also turns out yes you two" said Andreas who is now standing in front of his wife.Salwa and Alfi look at each other with a smile growing.
" Just knew him "the sentence slid together from the mouths of the two women. Then look at each other again and laugh together. Recognize the words they just said.
And the cry of Faiq stopped the laughter of the two friends. Andreas who just shook his head to see the behavior of his wife and best friend now immediately took Faiq yabg seemed shocked to hear the laughter of Mother and Tante.
" Dear, I'm surprised. Aunty and mother You were laughing like a lightning ", said Andreas invites to talk the baby while fondling him. Salwa saw her son beginning to calm down back in the hand Andreas looked a little smile.
