Satisfied playing water, we changed clothes. After that, Ridho invited me to order food at the place that had been provided. I ordered chicken noodles, Ridho prefers rice paddocks. It feels good to replenish the energy. We will soon be taking a trip to the city.
"Thank you, Mom. I'm grinning today."
"Yes, Honey. We'll be here again sometime, will we?"
I nodded with spirit. There's a lake in the area here too that I'd like to visit next time. I hope there is a chance to come again soon.
Before returning to the hotel, we wandered around the tourist attractions in search of souvenirs. Ridho bought four boxes of strawberries and several packs of chips made from vegetables. I'm interested in food and cakes typical of the region here.
"Is there anything to buy?" ask Ridho in the car.
"Udah is quite like, Mas. Some of them bring you to Dad's house. There are neighbors too."
"OKs. We will stop by to buy fruit. Yesterday I saw on the side of the road a lot of selling."
"Yes, Mas. Seger-seger too. It's delicious, living in the mountains. The food is abundant."
"Take a. The results were partly brought to our place."
"Yes, anyway. But sometimes it's not as good anymore."
Ridho just smiled. "You want to stay here?"
I thought for a moment. "Pengen, anyway. But it's far from family."
"Later if there is sustenance, we buy a small house around here for a break when to walk."
I spontaneously hugged Ridho's arm. "Thank you, Mom. I pray that Mas will have his sustenance."
"Aamiin's."
After getting everything we needed, we went back to the hotel. After performing the Zuhr prayer, we also packed. I waited in the car as Ridho finished his business with the hotel.
Ridho drives the car at medium speed. I enjoyed the view back in the beautiful countryside. Sometimes we talk about plans to buy a house in which area.
Passing through the mountains, I began to sleep. Back awake when Ridho stops the car at the refueling point. Ridho chuckled at me who was a little surprised.
"I'm sorry, Mas .. I overslept" I said, covering my mouth.
I'm a little unkind to Ridho. Surely he was bored for almost an hour just driving without a chatter buddy. I looked at him with a pity look.
"Ngga papa .. has not been far away either," he said while stroking the top of my head.
After filling up the gas, we went back on our way. Ridho drove the car at a fairly high speed. We didn't talk much the rest of the trip.
Ridho was not as relaxed as yesterday carrying a car because it will be returned immediately this afternoon. We got home when Ashar was reverberating. The house looks empty with the door closed.
"Assynjetoy!"
"Waalaikumsalam," answered the mother as she opened the door.
"Which father, Mom?" my many.
"Go to the neighbor's house who wants to get caught."
"Wedding?"
My forehead is a little bit. I know no neighbors are going to hold this week's event. Am I the one who has been insensitive since the disaster?
"No. Umrah. He said he wanted a little thanksgiving tonight that I heard."
"Oohs. You're not going there?"
"Later tonight. That's why you asked Mr. RT to put up a tent."
I nodded in understanding. Once tucked into prayer in my heart, may Father and Mother someday be allowed God to visit her home. If possible I'll finance their Umrah journey.
Ridho who had just returned to the car to pick up the luggage looked at us with a questionable gaze. I just shook my head slowly. I decided to talk in the room later.
"Where is this?" ask Ridho.
"Love you, just first. I'll split up for Daddy-Mother. Let me share it with some neighbors."
"Here, Mom."
"Once in a while, ma'am," said Ridho.
I just smiled, then went inside the house. I brought plastic to the kitchen. Ridho followed my steps into the room.
"Why was that?" ask husband.
"That's .. there are neighbors who want Umrah. Help me put up the tent."
"Oohs. How's that face?"
"Papa NGO. So just think, Father and Mother want to go there too."
Ridho grabbed me in his arms. "There must be a hat there. We pray for sustenance and the opportunity to be given there."
"Aamiinu. Father and Mother have you ever, Mom?" I wondered, then escaped from his embrace.
We have never told you about family life in more detail. I haven't even asked them again this month. Too busy with handling his own heart that had slumped.
"not yet. They have a list of Hajj, God willing next year to leave, waiting for Mother to retire. Dad's retired this year."
"Alhamdulillah. Hopefully the process will be carried out."
"Aamiin's."
"Yes already. I took a shower first, Mom."
"Yes. I want to go straight to the mosque."
"OK."
Ridho kissed my forehead before leaving. I was in front of the mirror. Once again make hope for Father and Mother.

After bathing, Ridho prepared to go to the house of in-laws. I gave the gift part to her parents. Ridho looked at me looking like he was thinking.
"Ga mostly, huh?"
"Ga, really. I broke up at the same neighbor's house."
"Yes .. I left first, yes."
"Be careful on the road, ma'am."
Ridho who was already sitting behind the wheel nodded slowly. Actually I want to come to the house of in-laws. However, Ridho did not allow. Next week we will visit there.
I'm not arguing. Know for sure why Ridho's afraid of me. Since the miscarriage, Ridho has been more careful to take care of my health.
"You're not coming?" ask the man who just came home from a neighbor's house.
"Nga, Pa. It was afternoon, said Ridho. Go there again next week."
"Oohs. You have only arrived from far away."
"Yes, sir."
"Where's mom?"
"Send by to the neighbor's house, sir. Make Mom and Dad at the dinner table."
He just nodded, then went into the house. I saw his tired face begin to age. Wishing all his hopes to be granted by the Powerful.
I went into the room again. I didn't see you in the dining room. It seems to clean the body. I was hoping the food we brought would comfort his heart.
I don't know why I feel so sensitive now. Often think of something until the head throbbed a little. I breathed more oxygen so that my heart would calm down.
Half an hour later Magrib reverberated. I also took the time to rest for a while. Lose a tired body and a head that does not stop thinking.
O Allah .. Give health to both my parents. Launch our sustenance path so that you can visit your home.
And so is my in-laws. Give them health and ease the process of preparing for their departure.
