Lovely Love
The Sun Shines Again



That morning the atmosphere of the campus was other than usual. Banners are plastered quite prominently in various places. Umbuls stood along the road to the hall. The crowded building area is packed with guests who come.


Gerdy got off from Moge while carrying his clothes. His appearance is very neat. Black pants. White shirt. Tiered.


Only he came on the bike. Only he came alone. All his friends used cars, both private cars and rentals, and brought family.


Gerdy is confused as to who to bring. Shopia and Pak Haji attended the same event at another university. After all, he was unwilling to give hope while his heart could not accept the presence of another woman.


Luki might be better for him. He wanted to give her a chance, on some terms of course.


"Where's your future wife?" welcome Doni "Then S2 is still single? Not good, right?"


No one knows he is a widower. They know Gerdy supermarket employees and offline ojek.


"Wife is easy" Gerdy said. "It's important how to rush into office. Want a woman to kayak what remains tripe."


"Soto kali."


"When the student just became a motorcycle taxi driver," Jono said. "The ends are at best the ojek boss."


"Well, this is what needs to be upgraded" said Doni. "Not read the history of the great people? Most cassava boys!"


Gerdy looked around. Unknown faces were laughing. Revelled. Today is theirs. Belongs happiness.


"Search for Vanny?" ask Doni. "Only clean gladi."


"Kok you guys aren't coming?"


"Bored. Since SD learned line-to-line."


"Want your hair ABCD."


"What?"


"Armed is Not Cepak Doang."


A fashionable-looking girl walked towards them with gurgling steps.


"Well, beautiful!" decak Doni. "No need for her mother to give birth."


"My future wife" said Jono proudly.


"Honey her eyes are myopic. Don't know a quality man."


"Try to see who the hell that quality guy is? Hhh, this one deserves to be recycled! It's not out!"


Graduation day is the most complete student happiness. Besides being proud to be able to stand on stage with a bachelor hat, they can introduce future wives to parents. And remembering that Gerdy's heart felt silent.


He should be the happiest. He has achieved an amazing feat. The best S2 graduates of the year.


Gerdy is not proud. Not even when he became the first person to be inaugurated by the rector. Everyone thought she was crying because she was happy. His heart is sad. Grievous.


If this had happened a few years ago, certainly among the most excited guests of his parents applause. How proud they were to go on stage for a photo together.


But now they don't exist. There were no guests among the invitation. Even the only people who were expected to attend did not show up until the graduation ceremony was over.


If there is, his heart is a little comforted. He has friends to share his happiness with. Got sweet answers for college and outside journalists. They can be stylish under the flush of a blitz lamp.


But it's all just wishful thinking. He stepped outside in solitude, in solitude.


"Where's family?" ask gentlemen. "No candidates yet?"


"Know this is how my daughter was taken!"


"Our son is not merchandise, Mam."


"What's wrong with being expensive?"


Gerdy just smiled as he continued to step in the middle of the crowd heading to his motorcycle parking lot.


"Father! Papa!"


There was a scream that made him even more envious. Perhaps the little girl was looking for her father, or calling her new father out of the building. Ah, they deserve to be happy. Son, wife, all taken along.


"Father! Papa!" The voice of the call is getting closer. And Gerdy was stunned when he found out that the little girl caught his arm from behind. "Why is he called to be silent?"


Gerdy looked at him astonishedly. Whose son is this? Why call him Papa? Or is this kid less sane?


Looking at his radiant face it was impossible for his memory to be interrupted. She's indisposed. Normal. And inside his plain clear eyeball Gerdy seemed to find an image of himself.


"He's your son, baby." A soft voice sounded before him. "Our son."


Gerdy raised his face in disbelief.


"Nadine," stammered Gerdy. "You coming?"


"I was waiting here on purpose." Nadine smiled sweetly. "Idyla doesn't want to attend an event that doesn't have ice cream."


"Why magic jar?"


Idyla's voice resuscitates Gerdy from the mesmerizing charm in front of him. There was a feeling of shock hearing the call. Of course it was Nadine who taught, who introduced her to her real father.


Gerdy lowered his body. He noticed for a moment the face that was still waiting for that answer. Wear it gently. Can't stand her getting into his arms. The meeting with his daughter was indeed a gift that in prayer did not dare to be chanted!


"Congratulations, Papa has become a magic jar" said Idyla.


"Do you know where Papa has become the magic jar?" look at Gerdy.


"Mama's feelings aren't that good." Nadine pretended to pout. "Mama said to be a magister, not a magic jar."


Idyla asked Gerdy, "What's the magic jar, Pa?"


"Magic jar."


"Es coconut mixed kedondong."


"Snake."


"Fair dad dong."


"Papa didn't lie."


"The magister is right, not the magic jar."


"Ityla is smart?"


"Who used to dong his mama" Idyla's smile was adorable. "Master what the hell, Pa?"


"Master yes, Papa."


"Oh, so Papa's name is magister?"


"Wearing this robe is called a magister."


"If Idyla wears this robe, it means Idyla magister?"


"This robe is too big for Idyla. If Idyla is old and the robe is fit, then the magister says."


"Mama's happy to have Papa as a magister."


"It's not just Mama, honey," said Nadine. "There's still."


Gerdy looked at his daughter. "Tante Prilly and Oma are coming too?"


"It's not just them" Nadine said.


"Who else?" tby Gerdy wonder.


And he found the answer when from the crowd appeared the faces that he loved very much.


A moment Gerdy stood glued. Don't know how to. Running or waiting.


Looking at those fluffy smiles there was a newness jerking his chest. The smile showed that they had forgiven his sins. Received as a family member.


"Congratulations, my child," whispered Abi, holding her son tightly. "This is Gerdy I'm proud of."


"I'm sorry, Abi" said Gerdy with tears in his eyes. A mixed feeling in his chest. "I've been a bad boy."


"That time is long gone, my son," comforted Abi to keep haru. "Fill a new page with a better life. The best man is the one who always repairs himself."


"I'm sorry, Umi." Now Gerdy hugged his mother while crying. "Now I know how tormented life is without parental blessing. The departure from home only adds to the misery, and the loss of the purest affection of human nobility, the affection of a mother."


"Forget over everything that has happened, my son," Umi's heartbroken. The yearning that had been imprisoned for years was now channeled through her tears. He was grateful that his son was found fresh. It even became a magister. "The past is not for regret. Make it a mirror."


"Congratulations, brother," said Vishnu when he had the opportunity to embrace her. "I'm proud to be his sister Brother."


Then Gerdy touched the baby's nose in Karlina's sling, the fruit of his love with Vishnu.


"What's his name?" ask Gerdy.


"Wait to be given the same name" Karlina smiled. "Congratulations, Brother."


Lastly, Prilly and Mami congratulated. They gave me a bouquet of flowers.


"Oh yeah, we go home or have lunch first and celebrate my brother's success?" ask Vishnu.


"I'm the same Nadine has agreed to go home immediately and stop by KUA," replied Umi. "Let's celebrate your brother's success."


"But it's okay to stop by the restaurant if you're hungry" Abi said. "I've asked the KUA officer to wait."


"Let's say Abi is hungry too" Umi grumbled.


"Mommy's not hungry?" ask Abi. "Yes, Vishnu and I stopped by the restaurant."


"Just kid!"


"About in KUA for what?" gerdy asked confusedly.


"Look," said Umi. "I asked Idyla to stay at my house, but Nadine couldn't live without her child, all of them carried away. But there's a condition, she'll stay with me if my son justifies it."


"Doubt?" kerling Nadine teases.


"I don't think there's a choice" smiled Gerdy. "I can't let Idyla be an orphan."


Gerdy grabbed Idyla by the shoulder and knelt beside her, then asked the others to stand behind them, and told Vishnu to immortalize her.


When Vishnu took a swing to take pictures with a digital camera, his feet stepped on slippery objects and fell stranded. They laugh in laughter.


Vishnu's face wrinkled with pain.


Idyla sneered, "Three times three nine! Like it not like it, Om's face is like a snack!"
