Reunion After

Reunion After
Meet Aunt Wanda



Pov: Widya's


Gandhi was calmer. I saw a wall clock that showed twelve o'clock at night. Gata and his family used my room to rest. I want to sleep with my son.


I went straight to her bed. He who sleeps against the wall makes me freely hug him from behind. I felt so guilty, so many wounds I gave him.


"I'm sorry Mama, Gan. Forgive Mama." My tears are back.


"You are not wrong" he replied. Oh, it turns out Gandi is still awake. I thought he was asleep.


"Not sleeping yet?" my many. He suddenly turned around and hugged me tightly. He didn't answer my question.


"Gandi doesn't want to see my father again. Gandi hates you." Slowly there was something warm wetting the negligee I was wearing.


I patted his back. He didn't comment on anything he just said. As bad as anything, Rendi is still his real father. I don't want to teach my son hate either.


"Tomorrow Saturday walks, yuk? Mumpung om Gata home on Sunday." I put the conversation aside so that he forgot about the incident that had just happened to him.


"Where?"


"Cimory's? Surely Naka, Nata, and Najwa are happy to see many animals. Take mbah uti and akung as well," I said.


He's nodding. I was too busy making ends meet to forget the attention to my son. Gandi showed wounds on his fingers. I didn't see him just now.


Soon I'll get the medicine box and treat my son's hand. "This why is this? You fight with your father?" She shook her head.


"Acts the same about Tompi?" He also shakes. Astonish me.


"Berrantem same wall, Mah. It's a hard wall, huh, Mah?" Strange question. Yes loud! If letoy will not be able to be a barrier to the house. I laughed hearing that.


When I finished, I told him to go to sleep. Gandi is asleep. I rubbed the child's head just my way. I started to get sleepy, slowly my eyes closed.


The next day, they all prepared. I'm still serving patients until my practice hours are over.


"How much less, Nun?" my many.


"Two, Buk. The other one I scheduled tomorrow afternoon." Banun took the status of a completed patient.


I'm nodding. I'll speed up my checkup. Finally finished. I told Banun to contact my partner's midwife if there was a delivery. Sandy and the others are waiting for me.


They asked me to be nimble when it comes to dressing up. "Not makeup, Mah. It will only get longer. Buy a laptop, Mah?"


"Yes." Yeah." I obey my son's wishes. Just polish a little bit of lipstick so as not to look pale and powder sprinkles only.


We also leave. Head to a mall in Semarang to buy a laptop. Fortunately, the gold I have was sold when Gandi insisted on asking for a laptop. After getting what he asked for, we headed for Cimory.


Mbah uti and akung choose to wait at the resto. They are not strong if they walk up and down. We bought tickets, walked in the footsteps of the boys. The freed pigeons welcomed us.


Children are feeding. There was a pigeon on my shoulder. I asked Ita to take a picture. Wow, that's great for me in that photo. All the sadness I can cover with a cheerful smile.


We went on our next tour, which was to feed the rabbits and deer. Well, they ate it all. After being satisfied with playing with the animals, we are now heading on a tour around the world.


Our feet feel so bad. Just walking in the steps of the kids. Time to buy some hands.


"Gan, you want a pie?" my many. My son loves to eat pie.


My transition is over, I'm out first. Gata and his wife are still shopping for souvenirs. I'm looking for the whereabouts of mom and dad, but nil. Maybe they are praying because they have just entered dzuhur time.


Gandi and the Gata children chose the food menu. They're hungry already. After ordering a meal, I joked with them.


"Mas Gandi if lazy wake up like a turtle was yes, Budhe." Naka who rarely spoke was now more able to express his heart.


"You are the eater, so fat as a cow," replied Gandi. Naka was crying because he said so. I just laughed when I saw them teasing each other.


Suddenly some people said that there was a commotion among the elderly outside. I feel surprised, elderly? What did they mess up to become excited? Ita came while struggling to carry groceries. He asked me to go to the mushola.


"That same mother again quarreled with people, Ma'am." I blinked my eyes. No, you and mom can't possibly fight in a public place like this. "Mas Gata is already there. Hunt, the children be with me."


I rushed towards the place Ita meant. Athaghfirullah! Abah and my mother were fighting. Wait, I'm no stranger to the face of a woman my mother's age. Who her?


I came forward to help Gata break up the fight. Suddenly, my cheek was slapped by the woman. When I looked I realized it was Tompi's mom. I was unaware of the whereabouts of Tisha's sister who tried to break up. But, what was the reason for the storm with my parents? Why was I slapped?


"Why was my son slapped?" abah shouted to try to defend me. I asked Gata and the security guard to take my parents away.


I, sister Tisha and aunt Wanda were led to the security guard post. Aunt Wanda, the woman with the most terrifying aura of honor I have ever known.


"Why did my aunt argue with my parents?" soft ask.


He looked at her with his deathly gaze. "Can you still ask?"


I don't understand what he means. What's up? Tisha's sister tried to give her water so that her in-laws would calm down a little. But, the water was pushed hard.


"Tante, please explain to Widya. I don't know anything. If my parents did something wrong, I apologize."


"Yes, they're wrong to educate a child! I'm warning you, never try to get close to Vesti!"


Wait, I'm approaching Tompi? Since when? Wasn't my best friend the one who started communicating with me again? I still don't understand Aunt Wanda's motives for threatening me.


"You should be self-conscious. You don't deserve a vest. You're just a widow with a son who's a troublemaker. The status of your parents is not a person of rank who can raise the degree of Tompi. Stay away from my son! I'm not messing with my words!"


The deg! My heart ached hearing the sentence that my parents were not a person of rank who could raise the degree of Vesti. I can still accept being insulted and reviled. But don't blame me if I'm angry because it's something that's out of bounds.


I, Widya, will not remain silent when my parents and my son are scorned and humiliated.


"Yes, my parents are not people of rank or higher rank who can raise the degree of aunty child. But they managed to make us independent people." My blood is really boiling right now. My temple feels tingling because it's so angry.


"Aunty knows the difference between you and my parents? If it was my parents, they never took advantage of the advantages of others for their personal gain. Isn't that right, dear Wanda Hamidah mother?"


I catch my breath and turn out of the security guard post. I stopped my steps, "Mante needs to know, I'm not crazy about Auntie's son. It was he who was crazy about me."


I didn't mind Tisha's sister calming me down. I left the two women and walked over to see my family. It turns out they were in the car. I went in and tried to stifle my anger.


"Tell me the same, what does Aunt Wanda say?" my many.


"It doesn't matter what we say. Abah told you never to go back to relationships with Tompi. See it? What results did you get? Your parents are the ones who should bear the shame." Abah said it with a very upset tone.


I don't want to lose either, "We are old, please don't trouble us with your attitude. Kids can't make parents happy! Be like Gata!"


I just kept silent no longer to say my parents.
