Picking Up the Past

The Return of 2 Sons

Mila, Abel, and Vanessa descend into the not-so-large inn Loby, in that lobby, Tomy and Arya are already sitting waiting for them, Abel immediately walked quickly to bring his suitcase towards the 2 men, “what are you waiting for long?, Mila a long time ago dandanya earlier” said Abel in his innocent tone that made Mila narrow her eyes instantly.

“I wear a veil, make what and everything, you were late in the bathroom earlier” reply Mila with annoyance. Abel then turned his body and looked at Mila, he then smiled thinly, “I forgot if you use a veil, let's go to mobil” said Abel directly walking towards the lobby door, the lobby, while Arya approaches Mila and Vanessa, Vanessa then gives Arya the key to her room after seeing Arya holding the key to her room and Tomy. Arya then finishes the administration and checks out the inn.

The journey continued, this time the vast green rice fields became a sight that spoiled their eyes, “if you see this rice field, I remember Sulawesi yesterday” said Arya briefly.

“what did you see there?” tomy asked Arya. Arya then remembered the pair of grandparents she knew there, her memory then revolved around the yellow box given by the grandmother, a gift given to his wife, the grandmother, ‘do I have to give that gift to Mila?’ inner Aryan.

“lesson will fidelity” replied Arya briefly which made Mila swallow her saliva.

The 4-hour journey from the inn they had been through, the car that Arya was driving slowly turned away from the highway to get into a small road that was not very good condition. almost an hour they went down the road that sometimes mixed with soil and rock, until finally the car was precisely scattered in the yard of a house.

A middle-aged couple sitting in the middle of the house immediately stood looking in the direction of their yard. the middle-aged woman stood in front of the entrance and glanced deeply at the car, while her husband stood right behind her.

“ya Allah sir, our son pak” said the middle-aged woman was crying to see the return of her two children, she immediately ran quickly on Arya who had just closed the door after getting out of the car, without further ado the middle-aged woman immediately hugged Arya. Tomy who also just came out smiling to see her mother who hugged Arya, she realized, her mother often put Arya more than herself so that Arya does not feel inferior as an adopted child in their family.

Tomy then approached and hugged her mother who was still hugging Arya, the middle-aged woman hugged her two sons tightly. The sight of 3 humans embracing each other presents the atmosphere of haru there. Mila, Abel and Vanessa saw the sight was carried away. “mom missed you guys” said Tomy's mother in hugging her two sons.

“you have really grown a lot now” said Tomy's father who now stands near them. Tomy's mother immediately let go of her hug on the two sons, Arya and Tomy immediately kissed their father's hand and then they hugged him the middle-aged man alternately. Without Arya noticing, her cheeks were already wet with tears there.

Mila looked long at her husband, when she saw the tears trickling as she broke the heart of the owner of the eye, and now he again saw the tears dripping for a happy newness of the owner of the eye.

“This is who nak?” said Tomy's mother who gently stroked Abel's shoulder standing nearby, Abel then kissed Tomy“'s mother's handAbel bu” replied Abel gently.

“so this would-be mother's daughter-in-law ya” said Tomy's mother who made Abel red blush instantly. Tomy smiled at Abel.

Mila and Vanessa then approach Tomy's mother and take turns kissing Tomy's mother's hand.

Arya immediately wiped her tears and drew closer to Mila who kissed Tomy's mother's hand, She then held both shoulders of Mila, “ini Mila bi, and then she held the two shoulders of Mila, aunt's daughter-in-law who is already legit” said Arya who made Tomy's mother smile, she then looked in the face of Mila, “masyaAllah son, finally mother met you too, since I heard Arya married, I have heard that she is married, I would love to see you” said Tomy's mother who instantly made guilt seep into the hearts of Arya and Mila, a single tear escaping back from Arya's eyes, he immediately wiped it off and took a deep breath, as well as Mila his eyes glazed over with guilt in his heart.

While Vanessa and Abel stare towards Arya with a similarly confused feeling, ‘bibi?’

Vanessa then kissed Tomy's mother's hand, “Vanessa bi, I'm Mila”'s sister-in-law.

Mila then rubbed her eyes quickly and then smiled, Abel and Vanessa kissed the middle-aged man's hands in turn, in contrast to Mila who had only crucified Tomy's father.

“ayo go inside, you must be tired, especially the way here is also not good” said Tomy's father with a feeling of pleasure.

“you are the same Tomy did not say first want to go home, if you say that aunt can cook a lot earlier,” Tomy's mother told Arya.

“don't bother bi, later they will also help aunt cook really, if aunt cook a lot of her own later aunt tired” said Arya to her adoptive mother.

Vanessa and Abel stared long at Mila who was sitting in the middle of them in that not-so-large living room, Arya and Tomy help their mother in the back to serve snacks as well as drinks. While Tomy's father took out a fan so that his guests were not overheated.

“why did Arya call her mother with aunty call?” asked Abel who was glaring sharply at Mila,

“you ask Tomy aja, Bel, if my sister will explain” said Mila who realized the confusion of 2 women on the right and left.

Arya and Tomy came out from behind with food and drinks, “you guys drink and eat this first yes, we take our goods first from the car" said Tomy who then followed the steps of Arya who had walked to a parked car.

Father and Mother Tomy sat in front of 3 girls who looked still awkward it. “what does the fan feel?, here it is very hot during the day gini” said Tomy's father who saw his old fan turning.

“taste uncle, this is more than enough“ said Vanessa with a polite tone.

“you in Jakarta must be used to sitting in a chair yes, if we are here more often lesehan aja kayak gini, if you want to sit, sit in front in the living room”, said Tomy's mother, who is not a child,

“no-pa kok bi, we are also happy to sit down lesehan kayak gini” said Vanessa again.

“Abel, mom and dad are sorry yes, yesterday could not go to Jakarta during your application event, so Tomy comes only accompanied by Arya”, Tomy's mother said gently to Abel.

“nothing kok ma'am, yesterday Tomy was also in the company of Mila and brother Vanessa, Vanessa, my parents also understand that mother and father also can not go to Jakarta”, Abel replied, which made Father and mother Tomy smile at hearing the answer.

“mother also apologized, Mila, father and mother did not come to your wedding and Arya, mother was also surprised why Arya did not tell us about her marriage, though I really want to see her wedding” said Tomy's mother who made Mila's heart pierced sharply to hear it.
