My friend, my husband

68. Go home I

Maru put her car in her parents' house. I'm a little nervous. How can I not be nervous, I will meet my former in-laws after two years ago I left without saying goodbye.

Maru opened the main door of her house, called her second name as Father and also Mamah. Until the voice of the woman who said Maru approached us in the guest room.

Aunt Maya was silent for a moment, she was glued to her feet while looking at me with teary eyes. Seeing the teary Aunt Maya, made my heart suddenly feel sore.

“Sora... Sora...how are you.. Where are you.” Aunty Maya's cry broke out toward me. Kissed me. Hugged me. Because of her crying, Om Aryo, whom Maru calls Dad approached. Om Aryo who I know is always calm, approaching me and also Aunt Maya who still hugs me by crying.

“Sora good aunt, om. Sorry Sora. Sora was not polite leaving so. Actually I want to say goodbye, but surely you guys prevent me.” I followed the sobbing by continuing to pat Aunt Maya's back and clasping Om Aryo's hand.

“What matters now is that you are here, everything is enough. Come sit.” Take it while sitting on the sofa.

Aunt Maya kept looking at me with meaningful eyes. Lunged, happy. Maybe that's what he wanted to express.

“Sorry aunt. I dare to come now. And this, there's a little by-by.”

“Why do you call aunty? Om? Baby. You're forever Mama's son.. Want you divorced from Maru too, you keep your son Mama. Don't call aunt okay.”

Mamah Maya's? He asked me to keep calling him Mamah. Of course I'm happy, but I also have to know myself. Now our status is former daughter-in-law and also former in-law.

Mamah Maya kept holding my hand and kept blabbing here and there, asked the news of mother and family. What I've been doing all this time. Until it was almost afternoon. I hesitantly called him Mamah and Dad came back.

“Mah, Dad... Sora has to be ready. It's afternoon. My goal here is to look for a baby. Now I'm going to the funeral first. Keep going straight home.”

“Why not take it first. It's late afternoon lo. 3.”

Even though Mamah Sora and Aya Aryo were still persuading, I was still adamant to go straight home after the funeral.

The footsteps felt very heavy when Maru and I arrived at our little baby's house. My chest feels very tight, feels tight and also sore. My eyes were blocked by the clear liquid that kept coming out until it passed through my cheeks. Until I got to that little house, I didn't think I was sobbing like a child. Though the intention of my heart will come to the house of a little baby with a calm heart, and also a smile. Not according to expectations.

“Until now you still do not give a name to our baby?” I wonder why it still says ‘baby' in this mini headstone.

“As you said, ‘baby us'. I don't want to give you my own name. I'm Your Mom's Dad, so we should both give her a name.”

The two sat crouched face to face around their baby's final resting house. They say do’a for small creatures who are now in heaven.

“We give you the name now aja.” Sora's Advice.

“Okay... What name do you want? You got any ideas?”

“Gak. I blank. You are the one who loves. I agree, the important name is good.” A faint smile implied on Sora's face.

“Radin. Our baby boy names give me Radin's name. It means beautiful and holy. How, you like.” Maru looked at Sora and wiped the wet cheeks of his ex-wife.

“Hhmmm. Called good. I agree.” Sora looked into Maru's eyes.

After being there for almost an hour, now the time shows 4 o'clock. Sora decided to go home. But, Risa and her comrades had been waiting for her at the Zaenal restaurant. Inevitably Sora had to stop by first.

Arriving at the place he also missed, his friends were waiting with dishes that had been served on the table. Sora smiled happily. He hugged each of his friends.

“Where were you? Make us worry about knowing. Until we go home can not say goodbye first” Risa advances her lips.

“Sorry.. yesterday rather..” Sora grinned his face. “What matters now is that I'm here, right. You must be seneng.” Tease Risa.

While busy talking and ready to eat dishes, the door of the restaurant is open. All eyes were fixated on who was coming. Skies. This man was now in the same place as them.

“Sky! What are you doing here?” Sora moved from his chair to the sky and led him to sit next to him.

“Ahh. I have a short business in the next town. Keep keinget Zaenal who love his business card, keep trying to come here. I thought you were home, it was late afternoon, right?” Ask back.

“Yyaaa. Come home to me today.” Sora smiled gently towards the sky.

Any business? It's a lie to this guy. He deliberately came all the way out of concern for Sora. I don't know what kind of worries it has. Either worry Sora will be hit by returning to a place that gives him a few bad memories. Or he was worried that Sora would not come back again. Or he was worried that Sora would return to his ex's arms, who now continued to look at Sora's face.
