“The name is similar to the nickname of the legendary grandfather of the movie xxx from Japan,” said rita
“Hush!!! You are-you are there!. It used to be the name of the grandfather Untung Suyono, in order to always be lucky. But somehow that name doesn't match up with grandpa's. Several times grandfather fell ill, according to smart people, the name carries less good energy for his body, Yono taken from the name of his father grandfather. They keep the name and then remove the name “Untung” and replace it with Sugih which means rich in Javanese. Joined as Sugih Yono. When SMA name is connected to Sugiyono.” Obviously mama Ratna
“Oo so, so really yes grandpa so rich!”
“Iya Rit, that name is our calling, so it must be a good name, because it is the same as prayer!” clearly her mother
“iya ma, oh yes Rita remembers about staying at the grandfather's house, that you know that all the brothers were gathered and pitted, Rita will always be the months of Maia.” Rita said, remembering
“oh do you remember that test? ask her mother
“ test what ma?”
“ That's his name Test Insights Cockiness”
“Hah! Abbreviation TWK? Similar to TWKnya KPK, do not-do the same!”
“Hush!,.don't follow Rita's politics, we'll watch while snacking on peanuts! Hihi”
“Hehe”
“So Rit, grandfather is still a hobby of holding competitions between his grandchildren. Do you remind your cousins? Roby, Desi, Maia, Fita, everything is almost the same age as you!”
“Kok can ma, we are cousins but the same age? Not a single child mom?”
“So here's Rita, mama story about the origin of our family yes!”
“follow ma!”
“Yes, that's what it means! Your grandfather had four wives. He was obsessed with wanting a boy who would continue his business, but all of his grandparents' wives, all of his daughters, and each of them had one child. Your grandmother, your mother's mother was the first wife. Because grandfather loved your grandmother so much, he divorced three other wives, but he acknowledged their children and grandchildren.”
“Roby and Rosy are twins from aunt Rena, you remind?. Aunt Rena is the son of second wife grandpa”. Maia, daughter of Raisa's aunt. Aunt Raisa is the son of Grandpa's third wife. And the last Fita son of Aunt Rachma, the fourth wife of grandfather.”
“All children grandpa initial letter R yes?
“Iya right, grandpa really likes the letter R, if English is R\=Rich\= Rich. Your name is Rita also from geek”
“Ooo so, Rita just know you ma!”
“ya, reasonable that time we are still small, so do not understand if told.”
“But Brother Andi's name was originally huruk A instead of R”
“Front name Andi is Rayi Andika, called Andi!”
“About brother Andi inget same Rita no ya ma?”
“it seems to remember, mama often talked about you to him.”
“Kak Andi later come also ma?”
“It looks like yes, today he should want to pick you up, but his old friend came, so just meet at home he said.”
“Kak Andi what age is it now?”
“Andi is only one year different from you. Hmm..you know ga you and Andi are different papa.”
“Meanour mother?
“So my mom used to be married to my mom's first love, her name was Eka Darmawan. He was the son of a wealthy businessman in the republic. From Eka mom had a son named Rayi Andika. But unfortunately Eka life is not long, he died of congenital heart disease, Eka died at the gestational age of mama 7 months.”
“Then how did mama meet Rita's father?”
“Your father is your sister's doctor. Andi had suffered a heart attack many times like a hereditary disease from his father. Andi got a heart donor, then operated on, the doctor who operated on him your father. Andi became very clingy with your father, probably because he didn't get a father figure. Finally mom married your dad.”
“Oh that's why Brother Andi ain't coming with dad!”
“Grandfather Darmawan, Eka's father wanted to raise Andi, so when you brought your father, Eka was taken by Darmawan's grandfather.”
“Pity mom alone dong, both kids mama go leave mama.”
“Yes, initially mom was very sad, but mom is allowed to see Andi anytime mom wants.”
“hmm, kog mom ga nengokin Rita?” ask Rita sadly
“Well, there was a misunderstanding between your mom and dad. When we decided to divorce, and you under your father, grandfather forbade mama to meet you, maybe grandfather was afraid, mama will continue to connect with your father.”
“Grandfather threatened to complicate your father's career, if you keep in touch with your father. Besides your dad's changing errands a lot, you once hired a private detective to find out where you live, but you found out grandpa. All facilities for mama frozen grandfather, from credit card, until the apartment is taken by grandfather. Mom doesn't have any money. Then mom promised Grandpa not to call your dad. But mama is sure you will be fine with your father.”
“Then why now mom can contact Rita?”
“Because now economically mama has been independent, apart from grandfather's treasure. Mama has a garment business. At first mama fad design clothes for her own mama, then mama's friends like the design of mama, and they ask to be made. With capital from them and word of mouth promotion makes mama's business grow rapidly. Grandpa can no longer set up mama.” The story of her mother smiled
“Iya Rit, but from there mama learned, that making money is difficult. That's also why mama can't hate your grandfather, because from him, mama can be like this.”
“Why is mom still living with grandpa?”
“Mama already has her own apartment Rita, sometime you take her to mama's apartment. A year ago my grandfather had a stroke, probably because he was lonely. Besides being busy working, the food is also too free for people his age, however he is also his papa mama. That's why mom came back home to take care of grandpa.”
“Grandpa's children from another wife how?”
“They already have their own household, but they allow their children to stay with their grandfather, especially during school holidays like this.”
“So now crowded dong at home grandpa?”
“Iya Rita, ga anything huh? consider it a competitive exercise.”
At 8 p.m., they arrived at Sugiyono's grandfather's house. Rita felt a bit afraid of meeting her grandfather again after such a long time. He entered the house holding hands with his mother. Her mother had prepared a room for Rita. Sugiyono grandfather's house is like a palace, inside there are many rooms, there is an indoor and outdoor pool. There are tennis courts, golf and riding arenas. Grandpa Sugiyono hobbies riding and golf, while his wife hobbies tennis and swimming. When Grandma died, Grandpa kept the tennis court and the swimming pool. But the grandfather is a businessman, so that on an ordinary day, tennis courts, golf and riding arenas can be rented to the public. Grandpa also has a very large orange garden. The orange harvest is sold to the famous beverage factory Mutri Sari. The distance of the entrance to the gate is about 1 km, enough for exercise. Grandfather hired 30 staff to take care of his house, including to take care of all the fields in his house. Rita entered her room, she was stunned to see her super spacious room. Maybe the size of his room is 1 house. Xxl size bed, there is a walk in closet that is a room to store clothes, shoes, jewelry and others. In front of his bed there is also a home theater, where he can watch many cable TV channels. Then he saw the bathroom. The bathroom is divided into two, there is a dry part and a wet part. The wet part consists of a WC and shower, while the dry part has a relaxing stool, a large mirror and a closet to store towels and other toiletries.
“Ma, try pinching Rita deh, this is a dream isn't it?” rita was still amazed
Mama pinched Rita's cheek was fat
“auuu.oh really ma, this is not a dream. It exceeded Rita's dream all this time.”
“Hahaha.you could have. Almost all the rooms that his grandchildren and grandchildren live in are like this. Since a year ago, mama traveled around the house to find a room that is still empty, it turns out there are still many. Some rooms are used as warehouses. Well the empty and spacious room, mama made a gym, so if Rita wants to train there, the tools are also complete. There is also a sauna. There is also a salon. So we don't have to leave the house.”
“the staff live where ma? If it's the security section of the house next door, it's some mess. For them to sleep and stay overnight if on duty. While the kitchen and household affairs staff in the basement, the room is quite spacious.”
“So the total room in this house is how many ma?”
“hmm.50 including staff room yes. For residents of the house there are 20 rooms.”
“Home expenses every month must be expensive huh ma?”
“Well, your grandfather was really great Rit, he used his assets the best he could. So your grandfather installed photovoltaics, it's a tool to collect sunlight to be used as a source of electricity. Besides you know behind this house the land is quite wide and rather high? It was installed windmill, it was also to collect electricity. In addition, the grandfather uses household waste, which is organic compost for his garden, while the inorganic ones are recycled. Grandfather was very firm with sorting out the trash before it was thrown away. He fired household staff who litter carelessly.”
“So for electricity this house grandfather absolutely did not pay to PLN?”
“Engga dong, it is precisely PLN who bought electricity from us!” her mother was proud.
“asli deh ma, Rita so salut very same grandfather, Rita's hatred for grandfather slowly lost, hear grandfather so care about the environment.”
“Sure dong. Well Rita, the tour room is finished here first, you want to rest?, Mr Jaja has brought your bag into the room. He has also bought food and snacks for you if you are hungry. For tonight you just rest, tomorrow at 8 am you go downstairs yes, we have breakfast together. You remember the way to the dining room, right?”
“Insya Allah remember ma, thanks ya!”
“Sama-sama dear, remember, call your father yes, lest he julidin mama, sweet dreams honey!”
“You too mom!”
Rita closes and locks the door to her room, then she takes her phone from the bag and calls her father.
“Assalammu’alaikum, dad!”
“Wa’alaikummussalam, Rita, have you arrived nak?”
“From yesterday well, Rita just finished the tour in the room, geez ya really big. More powerful than Rita's shadow all this time well.”
“Maybe you have forgotten Rit, try to see the drawer of the table if there is a pink comb, it means it was your room.try check!”
Rita approaches her dresser drawer, as it turns out, little by little childhood memories in the room appear.
“True well, there is, so this used to be Rita's room, but kog like new huh?”
“Maybe because you want to come, your mama told people to clean and fix your room.”
“Oh so, I still remember TWK here?”
“Oh Test Apprehension Funny?”
“Dad remember?”
“Remember dong, when you were 7 you were beaten up by your cousin Maia. He's a year older than you. He is very talented in martial arts, you have to be careful with him, reportedly he is also deep in kick boxing. I do not understand why grandfather likes to educate his children and grandchildren with rough martial arts. Your mother was a national taekwondo athlete. His siblings are also black belt holders there are jujitsu, kempo, many deh.”
“oh yes Well, Rita remembers, Rita used to cry when told to practice taekwondo with grandpa.”
“there may be tests of archery, riding, swimming and general knowledge.”
“ngapain the hell well, kog grandpa is very happy to make a competition between his grandchildren?”
“If it's not wrong, he wants to recognize your personality through those tests, because if in the usual way , fake. He thinks. The key is, you have to relax and be yourself Rita, you don't have to please anyone. Just do your best, you can!”
“Insya Allah well, Rita has no burden whatsoever kog,ok deh Well, Rita wants to eat first, Dad don't forget to eat too huh?
“Iya son, if you have time to continue to contact father yes?”
“Siap yah!” Rita stopped her phone. And started opening the food package from his mother. Wow, apparently he bought big mac, french fries and fried Chicken from Mc.Du.
“alhamdulillah” said, then started devouring his bigmac. After his dinner was over, he sorted out his used food waste, then disposed of it according to the garbage bin provided. Then he went to take a shower. He took a shower there was a shower for the top and bottom, then there was a special tap of warm water. Rita doesn't have to fear the cold from the night shower. Finished the bath he took his bathrobe and a towel to wrap his hair. Then she walked into her large closet. Inside was a brand of clothes, he took pajamas. Very comfortable in those pajamas. Made of cotton, his arms are short, his pants are long, his motifs are flowers. Rita put on her pajamas, and began to see the clothes and shoes in the closet. He was unceasingly amazed. He was tired of admiring his closet. Then he went to his spacious bed, he rolled around in pleasure, then stopped in the middle of the bed. Rita imagines her bed is enough to sleep her and her friends. Then he turned on the TV. She is excited because there is a Korean channel, she can enjoy her favorite Korean drama, which she has only watched through you tube. A few moments later he fell asleep. Tv and room lights automatically turn off when the time shows at 11 p.m.
