PREMATURE
I parked my bike in the shade. I rest for a while. I saw an angkringan in the corner near a tree.
I headed to Angkringan and ordered a cold drink. Today's weather was a bit hot, so I felt a little sultry. I took some fried tempeh pieces.
Not long after the drinks I ordered came. My phone rang, there was an incoming call from my wife.
"Hello, ma'am." I said.
"Pa.. at 1 o'clock papa pick Yusuf up..." My wife said on the phone.
"Yes, Papa's gonna pick up Yusuf. " I hung up right away.
Joseph was my youngest son who now sits in the 3rd grade of Junior High. I have 3 children now, the biggest is Sabila is now sitting in the final semester college, and the second is Rahma is sitting in 3rd grade High School.
I then enjoyed my drink. Hmmm feels really good. Then I opened the message on my phone. Apparently someone invited me to enter the Bio High School Group. I'm lazy to accept it, because I don't like being in any group.
But after I noticed, Bio High School Group... I immediately remembered Ara. I immediately accepted the invitation.
I finally got into the Bio High School group. I didn't notice the group members, but I chatted directly asking "Where's Ara? Where's ara?"
My thoughts were only with Ara, that was the reason I got into the group. I've been looking for news about Ara for a long time. I don't know why I wanted to know so much about Ara.
Ever since social media got more sophisticated, I've been trying to find Ara's whereabouts. But all the social media I entered could not find Ara's whereabouts.
I once asked Ardi and some high school friends who happened to have their mobile number on me, if they had any contact with Ara. But no one knows about Ara.
After in the group I chat asked Ara, even friends menggeledekin me. "Review CLBK." I don't give a shit. And the funny thing is that I just asked Ara, and I didn't ask any of my other friends.
Not long after I chatted, Ara finally replied. "It's Ara Pram..." I'm relieved.
After all these years I searched for it and it didn't work. "I finally found you..." Bathink.
In group , I chatted asking her how she was doing, and Ara replied that the news was fine. I'm happy to see Ara again.
I was shocked by the phone call from my son Joseph asking to be picked up.
"Pa.. Joseph has returned to Pa... Where's papa??"
" Ooh, I'm home, son... Wait for Papa Nak, 15 minutes for Papa nyampe. " I then turned off the phone.
I paid in the mother who had angkringan then went to Joseph's school.
Not long after I got to Joseph's school, my son. I saw Joseph waiting at the corner of his school gate.
"Son, I'm sorry Papa.. Papa finished work a little so late pick up." Said explain.
"It's okay Pa...I waited for him not long either." Joseph said with a smile and a greeting. I stroked my son's hair.
Joseph his son was very patient, never angry and obedient. Although Joseph was my youngest son, but I did educate him to mature and prepare him to be the head of RT in my place.
Then we went home to my house.
At home, Pipin greeted us and shook my hand while Joseph shook his mother's hand.
"Now eat your Papa yaa Nak... I've already cooked the fried chicken." Pipin.
"Yes Mom...Yusuf.
Then Joseph took a plate of rice for me and a plate of rice for himself. Joseph always served me when I would eat.
" Where is Sabila with Rahma? Haven't come home yet, ma'am." I asked my wife Pipin.
"Not yet to go home Pa... Let's eat first... Take Pipin.
"Yeah we ate yuk.. " I said.
Joseph and I ate very well, for we were very hungry. We enjoyed the lunch that Pipin had prepared.
