Loving Or Loved?
21. Meeting Preparation
In Jakarta, on the same day Oma and Tanteya Dafa were buying everything for Dafa and Qiana. The longing for her granddaughter made the middle-aged woman scruffy to buy all the toddler trinkets that she thought were funny. After the divorce of her son and daughter-in-law, she completely lost contact with her first grandchild. And after 2 years apart now the anticipated day will soon arrive, the day of meeting with his first grandchild is in sight. No less enthusiastic about his mother, Fani also bought a lot of goods for his kingpin's nephew.
"Ma, this is the same toy clothes for Dafa as if it was enough, Ma" said Fani while pointing at her luggage and her mother's.
"Yes Mama think it is also enough of this, if we join 1 trolley full of toys with Dafa doang clothes. Now we find a game for the Mother of Dafa yes," asked Ms. Rita.
"Let's Mah, all buy shirts for Fani ya Ma," said Fani while struggling in the hands of Mama.
"Just yesterday papa's money nodong you now want to nodong your brother? Mom brought her ATM card, hm?" said Bu Rita and only replied to a whimper by her youngest child.
"Jaudah no, later Fani asked himself to Abang." resigned Fani, afraid that his mother even nagged him in the mall.
Finally they finished their shopping with a satisfied heart because they bought a lot of goods for grandchildren and also prospective ghosts (according to his mother Akbar hehe). They reached home in the evening, and immediately rushed to the bathroom in their respective rooms to refresh their bodies.

At the same time in Surabaya, Setya was being asked thousands of questions by his mother, Bu Dewi. This mother was very curious, how this child could be reunited with Qiana after 8 years of separation. Setya just grunted as if he had just got off the plane at 2 p.m, straight to the house Qiana's parents took care of Qiana and only arrived home at 4 pm but this mother did not give her time to rest, just for a moment.
"Ma, dong nabti aja Setya the story. Setya is tired of Ma. Doesn't Tyo tell Mama the same story?" Setya asked as she leaned her head against the back of the sofa.
"The story, but Mama will want to know directly from you who first met Mama's daughter," said Bu Dewi enthusiastically.
"Ma, Mama what the hell. Yes, the story is the same that was told by Tyo. Mama mending eating Qiana's cake. Setya wants to rest first, tired," said Setya as she moved from the sofa and stepped into her room, leaving her mother who was already pouting because her curiosity had not been answered.
You must have understood with words, that every parent must want the best for his child. Yes, so does the Goddess Mother. She wanted Qiana to be her daughter-in-law for a long time, because she knew the seeds, bebet, weight of Qiana and her family. Moreover, Qiana High School, who had always been Tyo's match partner, made her closer to Qiana and always considered Qiana like her own biological child. That is what makes Miss Dewi always hope and hope for good destiny, so that Qiana can be with one of her children, in the future.

The sun has disappeared from circulation, and has been replaced with the moon and stars that adorn the night sky. The wind gently hit the beautiful face that was looking up her head staring at the beautiful sky that night.
"It's been 8 years that I've been away from my parents and brother, meeting only when I was scattered in this house" Qiana muttered with a look at the night sky.
"It turns out a lot of things I've been through, until I was 26 this year. Next year I'm 27 years old, time is always fast passing." muttered Qiana while breathing rough.
"It has come so far but signs of his presence have not yet appeared. While friends my age have taken care of my husband and even his children. But me? glimpsed guys just never let alone dating, hm. The turn of someone who asked to open the heart, even on the basis of his mother is not because he is personal. Am I too bad for them?" muttered Qiana frustrated because she was getting closer to the head of 3 she never found the patch of her heart.
As the night wore on, Qiana decided to return to her room and lay down her body next to Dafa's tiny body. He saw the tiny face that always accompany his days 2 years and increasingly intense, the last few days. A little bit of Dafa's presence has given her a new color in her life. His heart has been more peaceful and calm since Dafa came into his life, as if to be a conditioning for his heart that was longing for the presence of his priest.

"Pa, the job is done. Akbar wants to ask for advice from Papa nih." complained Akbar.
"Seek advice what Bang, job?" ask Mr. Amri while plucking cheese cassava from his plate.
"It's not pa's work, it's about Dafa. Akbar pingin really bring Dafa stay with Akbar Pa. Especially now that her birth mother is again conducting a trial here. There's a sense of worry, brother, Pa. But Brother is also afraid that Brother has not been able to take care of Dafa himself like Qiana, later even Dafa feels a lack of affection." explained Dafa with a face that looks frustrated
"If Papa's advice, mending Dafa is the same as Qiana first. You finish your problem with her birth mother Dafa first, until it is completely clear and she gets a proper reply. Now when Dafa is with Qiana, you can find out how Qiana takes care of Dafa, or you can also take the opportunity to get her heart together Qiana, hahaha," said Mr. Amri who ended up teasing his son.
"Ah, Papa always end up sedain Abang right. But Papa's advice may also be the beginning of it," said Akbar steady.
"Yaudah yuk enter the house, we watch the furore of the same name Adek you Bang," said Mr. Amri.
"Hahaha, okay Pa come on," said Akbar.
The two of them left the back garden and immediately approached the two magical women inside the house. The goods have been put in the car turned out, because the family room has returned clean as usual.
"Well, it's all done, huh?" ask Mr. Amri.
"From where you guys are, yes it's finished look already on the tidy." said Bu Rita.
"Yaudah if we take a break to the masung-each room, tomorrow we will leave in the morning," said Mr. Amri.
"Yaudah, you go to the room first Ma, Pa, Dek," Akbar said as he passed and ruffled his adak hair.
"Abang, ihh. ngeselin deh," said Fani while chasing after his brother, Mama Papa just shook his head to see the behavior of his son who is already big but still like a child if met.
"Yuk Pa, to Mama's room is very sleepy," asked Bu Rita and was taken by Mr. Amri.
Like at the airport, someone came and someone left. Some are happy to see people who are expected to attend, but not a few also feel sad due to separation. Be aware or not farewell and meeting are both the first steps to continue a better life ~HA 💙🍃
