My Blinds On The Eagle
S' E' Angel Named Mother
It turns out that the warm air in this part of the equatorial hemisphere feels so hot felt by Syailendra, even by Nilam. Of course, the time of six years has changed a little bit the structure of the skin sensitivity to temperature, let alone the boy who is usually called Alend who was born in a sub-tropical blue continent. Sweat splashed and melted profusely from forehead to cheek and inundated his neck and made his collar wet. But he smiled happily and continued to walk agilely along the sidewalk that led him to a mini market, and from his mouth incessantly let out a carefree chatter.
" Don't hurry ... pity mommy and little baby", many times Rayhan reminded by using English. This made some of the people that the three of them passed by distracted, then turned to look at the boy who was laughing cheerfully.
" I want a big vanilla ice cream with lots of strawberry jam Daddy. ", pinta Alend is happy.
Syailendra is now in the mini market, horrendous cashier with his bilingual chatter that makes the cashier smile with anxiety. Nilam hastily took over the deal with this little whiz, who suddenly became confused by bringing a variety of ice cream in front of the cashier.
" No Alend. You can have diarrhea later ", ban Nilam while giving a gentle touch of warning on the head of the firstborn.
" But Mom. I yawn, it can be dehydrated later, mommy said dangerously dehydrated ", protested Alend. Rayhan who heard this couldn't help but laugh. There is a sense of amused tucked between the feeling of pride with the ability possessed by the son. This little one can absorb everything that his mother taught well, can even immediately apply it like a boomerang for the mommy.
" Yes, but not five ice creams at a time. Mineral water and fruit juice are better ".
" but mom's....... "
" Create uncle one yes", a male voice suddenly interjected.
" Uncle Will. ", that cry sounded so carefree that it accompanied the presence of a dashing young man who immediately joined Rayhan's small family. Wildan the forensic doctor came and immediately broke the debate between his brother and nephew.
" Hey boy... Can you if uncle ask for the banana flavor ? ".
" Of course ..... Tuh'kan mom ".
As if the boy was now in the wind over the presence of the uncle, Nilam only raised his shoulders resignedly. " Well, you came at an inopportune time. How do you know we're here, Will ? ".
" I saw you guys. Keep following. How long will you stay in Jakarta ? Don't want to stop by my kos'an ? ".
" Away from here ? ", asked Rayhan.
" It's only worth an hour ".
" How dear?.... You are still tired of riding in another vehicle ? ", Rayhan looked at his wife.
" May... but how will we go back to the hotel again ? You want to drive again ? ", Nilam looked at this handsome sister of his.
" My brother... don't worry. I'm strong enough, bahakn if you have to take you to Semarang" Wildan chuckled while occasionally serving his nephew's innocence.
" Wiiiiiiihhh.
" Yaaaaa.. if not tired I used to drive myself .. every two weeks, make a visit to the tomb of mamih and father ".
Wildan's last words made Nilam suddenly feel gripped by longing and grief. He imagined the figure of a gentle woman with jet-black curls, a little narrow-eyed and a tiny nose that perched beautifully. The woman who always greeted him when he came home from school with the same question, which is now ringing in the waves of his longing ....... "has grown smarter mamih children ? ".
Rayhan and Wildan realized the change in facial water from the woman who was pregnant with these two fetuses, immediately gave a soft touch to the shoulders and gave each other a strengthening smile.
" Tomorrow I come home also mba. I took three days off" Wildan said
" Oh yes.glorious ", Nilam smiled trying to divert the sad that suddenly enveloped.
" Let's go back to the hotel first.he said he wanted to see your sister's boarding house ", Rayhan diverted the atmosphere.
" You guys just wait here. I'll get the car. Enjoy that ice cream. leave one for me ".
Then the three children sat outside the mini market while enjoying the ice cream they bought. Meanwhile Wildan had passed to the hotel where his sister's family was staying. Rayhan who saw the condition of Nilam fatigue after passing thousands of kilometers within fifteen hours, did not have the heart to continue the journey again to his hometown. Finally decided to rest and stay overnight in the capital of the country. All of you meet his sister-in-law who happens to be serving in this metropolitan city.
Do not ask how long the advice and impatient chatter of his busy mother asking how the condition of his favorite son-in-law and grandson. Though he used to be the most opposed to the relationship and also the presence of Nilam in the life of his son. Even very firmly has taken a stand in a covenant that eventually sets his son apart from the much loved woman. But now, the young people who most impatiently want to immediately embrace the woman. That is if God has granted a sincere prayer, by turning hearts and feelings. Hate and doubt have turned into love and affection. Never stop wishing and praying for what you love. That's what Rayhan grasped for the lessons about life that he had been through during his adolescence until it was silk now.

" Later ... there will be a person, who is not bound by the blood that flows in your body. He is a man who swore to the Almighty that he will always take care of you, protect you, love you and love you. You will soon embrace it. When your eyes meet, your heart and heart call out to each other..... He's a man whose left rib has been stuck for your creation "
" I already know who Koq is, Mih. Nick Carter .. his cute BSB. If the part he sang.... hwiiiy ".
" Basic ABG ... love love idol. This one is different non... This is your true love, your soul mate love. I must have never been in love..... ".
" Yeee. 'kan mamih himself who said not to be dating, still Junior High ".
" Fall in love with dating is very different Miss Nilaaaaam...... ".
Even the sound of laughter was still loud heard in Nilam's eardrum and filled the recesses of his memories. The woman curled her head against the window of the plane that was just in the air. Outside the night sky looks dark but is disguised by the glittering lights that twinkle like giant fireflies. In two hours, he will soon arrive at the city where he was born. Reunited with all the happy and sad memories, as well as a fragment of the life story that will be connected again.
" Remember Mamih yes ... ", Rayhan pulled his wife's head and made her lean on his shoulder. " I've always been to his camp .. and promised to take you home. He must be happier now ".
" Yes", Nilam only said short. Back the tears rolled along with the flowing fragments of memories and hugged him warmly.
........................................
" Sir.... Rayhan is good. He is polite and also friendly, even though the children of respected people. Does she have a boyfriend ? ".
" Ih .. mbak Nilam he spoke even diem aja ", budhe Inggar with a seductive smile.
" Yee... Why ? ... mamih has a crush on Rey ? "
" Yes."., ", a nosy smile is strewn from the mother's sweet lips.
" Huh?!!!!...... iiihhh mamih flirty ah. Later the late father woke up looh ", Nilam laughed amusedly.
" Yes ... mamih has a crush ... crush to be a daughter-in-law ".
" Yeeeeee..... ngarep!!!!!. cook Wildan want to be edited by Rayhan anyway ... ", Nilam tried to swallow completely to cover up the tinge of shame that began to run through his white cheeks making a red hue.
" You love."., and the mamih who was still drinking with the flour batter pressed the princess's nose with love.
That's when suddenly entered the figure of Wildan the younger brother who went hand in hand with someone who had just been the topic of conversation. Rayhan entered by developing his dazzling smile. But it makes Nilam more drowned with shame. Especially when with the spirit of the mother-in-law seeker, the mother welcomed the young man.
" Waduu..... Nilam even new kuel so .. the handsome already come. Where do you want an event ? ", with her pretentiousness the mother welcomed Rayhan.
" Not anywhere koq. Can you ? ".
" Boleeeeh. but having to help ", Nilam ambushed quickly.
" Nilam ... ", the mother rebuked her daughter a little.
" It's okay ma'am", Rayhan smiled. " Let's tell you how ... ". A small elbow initiates closeness and familiarity in the afternoon until night.
Laughter and jokes created from all those events felt warm flowing in the heart of NIlam and Rayhan who are now equally silent. They both smiled in light of those pleasant moments, one of the most beautiful times of their lives. While in front of the seats they both heard a British chatter from Syailendra who was responded with a nosy joke the uncle, the doctor Wildan.
Not feeling that two hours had passed quickly, they finally arrived at lumpia city airport. It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and Syailendra was fast asleep in Wildan's arms as they all walked out of the airport.
" Aduuuh.... his handsome grandson is bobo huh ? ", a voice welcomed the arrival of the four of them. And it was the voice of Rayhan's mother who was so excited to welcome the arrival of loved ones.
" Ngoceh continues from earlier. But the beautiful and elegant lady in her maroon red suit only momentarily hugged the child. Next he turned to the smiling son-in-law looking at him.
" Son." and the hug was so tight and warmly given to Nilam. Moments later, Madam Kamal hugged her daughter-in-law. Then give a warm kiss on both cheeks and switch to stroking the stomach of the son-in-law. " They're okay ? ".
" Yes Mah . Look gerakanny... ", NIlam smiled as he carried his hand in-laws touching the active protrusions resulting from the movement of the two creatures that were developing in his stomach.
" Waaaah. He must be very happy to be back in the country . Ayoo.. papah you guys have been waiting at home a long time ". And they rushed into the waiting car.
...........................................................
That morning Nilam woke up feeling peaceful. He opened the door leading to the balcony of the room, and then stepped out through it. Staring at the green view of the trees that become the fence of the Kamal family mansion with a calm feeling. The house and room they occupied now did not change far from the last time Nilam knew him. Still remains the same room as the one Rayhan used to occupy. Even the accessories and furniture of the room did not change much. A striking addition is a simple Rayhan and Nilam wedding photo wrapped in white shades in the Nilam family room, and also a photo of them with Syailendra while still in England. This last photo is in print in large size and beautifully painted. Apparently Mrs Kamal deliberately did this after her return from the UK a few months ago. As if as a sign if the woman really wants to make up for all the sad stories where she is as one of the causes.
Satisfied to enjoy the view from the balcony of the room and breathe fresh morning air, Nilam re-entered the room. Her husband and son are still asleep in a dream. Midnight Syailendra woke up and made a furore with her cries. Lately the boy who is usually very independent, very obedient it becomes a little bit fussy. It was as if he demanded more attention than his Daddy and Mommy affections. All night Rayhan held the boy, calmed him down and finally managed to persuade him by playing a car racing game until the early hours of the morning. Nilam was forced to let all that, because he felt very tired and sore all over his body.
A kiss was given to the husband who wriggled softly when he felt the warm touch of his lips. " Go back to sleep. I want to go down ". And the answer received was a lazy whimper from this man.
Nilam smiled and stepped out of the large room. There was a very familiar smell of cooking, something savory and fried in hot oil. The instinct of nourishing the two God's trustees now in his stomach makes him look for the source of the scent. And she found her mother-in-law doing something on the dining table and in the clean and tidy kitchen looked like a middle-aged woman was frying something.
" Hey .. I'm up, baby. Last night Alend was fussy yes. Said those jealous instincts on his sister. let alone these two yes ", madam Kamal welcomed the carefree arrival of Nilam.
" Yes, I know this smell. Tempe Mendoan yes .... has anyone mateng ?? ", Nilam really could not hold back his saliva which now felt almost dripping.
Madam Kamal chuckled amusedly and was happy because her daughter-in-law was no longer feeling shy. When the plate of mendoan tempeh that was still puffing hot steam was presented, Nilam immediately plucked and devoured it with an unusually happy expression. Mrs Kamal smiled happily at the hat. The two then chatted with each other and endlessly enjoyed the warm plate of tempeh .
" After your husband and children wake up. later we all go straight to your mother's grave huh ". Nilam nodded at her in-laws. He could not answer because his mouth was full of warm savory snacks.
" I want to apologize to your mother ..... ".
Do not be afraid of your weakness
Don't cry because of your fear
I sent your fragile guardian angel
That will protect you with an invisible wing
Which holds you in warmth all the time
Who taught you everything
**The angel is named **
