The state of the living room was so crowded with the voices of the women yes they were busy listening to the speech of Bima son of the son of Vira's mother's adoptive mother from Arlita,
he was only 3 years old but the little boy was already so good at talking.When the boy spoke for sure everything would be entertained with all his funny words.
Especially when a child continues to talk like a parent ank it with his pretentious style advises everyone like an adult.
While the women were busy with the little boy, the men were busy playing chess.
Pramudya and his adoptive father are sitting in a kazebo while Faiz is now making coffee for the three of them
"Pram, thank you for giving your daughter happiness.
" It's my duty, sir. After I married Arlita whatever concerns her it was all my duty, both herself in a sad, difficult and happy state we will face together ".
The man smiled and took a deep breath and exhaled slowly and then he said again
" May I tell you a little about the beginning of our meeting?
Pramudya also nodded
"We met Arlita when she was twelve. His condition at that time was really very worrisome at the Hospital where his mother
getting treatment because of suffering from severe pain.
Actually my wife first met him because at that time my wife happened to work there.
The little girl was not alone she was with her two younger siblings, Faiz and Mutia.
The three of them are children who have been abandoned by their biological father.
Very sad, isn't it?
When my wife and I crave the presence of a child but instead they waste the care of God.".
Pramudya just fell silent while listening to him.
When my wife mentioned the name Arlita somehow I suddenly felt curious about the figure of the girl until I decided to meet her in person.
It turns out that my wife is indeed Arlita is a girl who has a heart so strong in front of everyone but not with me.
I could see the girl's heart was so fragile that we both agreed to raise her third to be our son.But the three of them did not stay with us even though their status was our adopted son.
But two years later we were forced to separate because my mother was sick so we decided to go home to our hometown and leave the three of them with their mother who had not been from the sick.We invited Arlita to but he chose to stay and we respect his decision.
Farewell we could not avoid with feelings that could not be said finally we separated.
This house is a gift to my daughter Arlita. I just want when we're not together their lives will be fine."
"Has Arlita been okay all along?
The young man was silent.
" Why are you silent?Is Arlita okay?
"Do you know that Arlita is depressed?
The man was surprised
" What is Depression?tanyanya did not believe.
"Yes Sir. Arlita experienced it and it was a situation that I was quick to marry her because I was really sock when I found out, to be able to heal her I must always be by her side every time because I really don't want to lose her anymore".
" Lost what do you mean?
" So you've known each other for a long time?
"Yes sir we were schoolmates when we were still living in Bandung".
" Well the more salute me the same you turned out you are the type of loyal man only equal to one woman. "
The face of the young man suddenly red withstood the shame of being caught so bucin to his wife.
"Thank you for being my daughter's husband, thank you so much".he said as he looked at his daughter-in-law.
" Together Sir.
"Coffee, coffee".say someone and both of them saw it.
" You're a good match for selling Iz".
"What time is it, brother?he said while putting a tray on the table.
" Yes Iz fits".Father chimed.
"Yes, tomorrow Faiz sells coffee without going to school".he said a little jokingly.
"Can't".say someone said that the three different men of that generation turned their head and saw someone walking with a slightly fierce face.
" sister".
"Why did you want to quit school?
" Ng.. ngga kak that.".his words were cut off.
"Awas aja brother knows you until you quit school sister will give severe punishment to you.
Faiz was just silent and Pramudya took the initiative to directly approach his wife
" Dear, Faiz was just kidding".he said, embracing his wife's shoulder.
"What's kidding?
" Yes dear"
"But".he said because the husband said again
" We go to the room? Looks like you're tired".
Without waiting for his wife Pramudya answer immediately took his wife into the house to the room to rest.
After the couple left.
"Uh. almost" Faiz said, wiping his chest.
"Is Arlita always like that?
" Yes." Yeah."
"Maybe the baby's innate candidate so so".
" Maybe also sir, don't make Faiz go wrong every day." he said resignedly while sitting in a chair with a little calm while the man could only smile.
"Yes hopefully"
