Thank You for True Love

47 RETURN HOME - PART 1

The first day of the weekend, Andi and Rinaya are already on their way to Andi's hometown. As they had talked about a few days earlier, Andi invited Rinaya to meet Om and his Tantenya in the village where Andi was born. Both of Andi's parents are buried there.

Andi's parents died while Andi was in High School. His father died in a traffic accident when Andi was second grade. While the mother died when Andi was third grade, seven months after the father died. She died while giving birth to Andi's sister who also died a few minutes after her birth.

After taking almost two hours of travel, they arrived at Andi village which is very beautiful and cool because it is on the slopes of a mountain.

Andi immediately drove his car to a house not far from the end of a rural road. Andi parked it in the spacious and shady courtyard of Om Ihsan and Aunt Susi.

Finished opening the door and holding Rinaya's hand, Andi invited her to walk towards the tightly closed front door. Andi knocked on the door slowly.

"Assynoltomodel.."

Not long ago a reply was heard from inside the house.

'Waalaikumsalam.."

The door opened from inside and out was a middle-aged woman in Muslim clothing and a simple hijab.

"Andiii..!!" The woman was seen looking at the arrival of her nephew. She immediately hugged Andi after Andi kissed her hand first.

As soon as Aunt Susi let go of the hug, Andi brought Rinaya beside her back and introduced her.

"Tante, introduce, this is Rinaya, my future wife."

Rinaya's face flushed immediately hearing Andi call her a future wife.

With a little nervous Rinaya kissed Auntie's hand from her future husband.

"Jiang, Aunt. I'm Rinaya."

"Beautiful to your future wife, son. It's smart you chose it."

Aunt Susi hugged Rinaya tightly while praising her.

"It's not smart to choose, Aunt. Thank God for his soul mate." Andi looked at Rinaya with pride while Rinaya who was the subject of conversation could only smile happily.

Then Aunt Susi invited them into the house and let them sit in the living room.

Just about to sit down, Om Ihsan came out and greeted Andi with great dignity. Finally Andi and Rinaya first approached and kissed Om Ihsan's hand, only then they sat down.

"How are you, son?" Ask Om Ihsan.

"Thank God be good, Om."

"It must be good, sir. People already have a beautiful wife candidate like this, surely his heart is happy to continue." Canda Aunty Susi who came out carrying a tray containing drinks and light cakes.

Om Ihsan laughed and nodded his head.

"So when do you want it to be launched?" Om Ihsan asked directly on target.

Andi immediately took an upright position to speak to Om Ihsan.

"Yes, Om. The point of our arrival here was to ask Om and Aunt's blessing so that our relationship would soon be formalized in the marriage bond."

"In addition, Andi also pleads for Om and Aunty's willingness to be Andi's guardian and waves Rinaya to Andi."

The parents looked at each other and smiled looking at Andi and Rinaya.

"If Om and Aunty, the important thing is that you are fit and serious, we can only approve and support your next move." Said Om Ihsan wisely.

Andi breathed a sigh of relief. So too with Rinaya.

"Thank you, Om, Auntie." Andi said sincerely.

From a distance, I heard Adzan Dhuhur. Om Insan and Aunt Susi immediately invited them to pray and continued with lunch together.

After finishing lunch, Andi and Rinaya decided to pay a visit to the tomb of Adit's parents.

"Is the tomb far from here, ma'am?" Rinaya asked as they were both in the car.

"Actually no, Yes. It's just because it's so late, we better get in the car. I can't bear to take you on foot in this scorching moment."

Rinaya was flattered by Andi's words. He was also very happy with Andi's treatment which was so caring for him.

"It's hot, mas. But the air is so cold, it won't make us sultry. Next time, just take me on foot, ma'am." Rinaya Pinta.

"Alright, Yeah. Whatever you want."

Andi looked at Rinaya and gently rubbed the head of her beloved lover.

Soon they arrived in front of the cemetery. As usual, Andi helps Rinaya get out of the car and holds her hand to take her into the cemetery.

"There's the grave of my parents and my sister, yes."

Andi leads Rinaya's steps to her parents' tomb where in the middle of the tomb are also the small tomb of Andi's sister.

Arriving in front of his family's tomb, Andi grabbed Rinaya's shoulder and stared at the row of pusara.

"Assalamualaikum, Father, Mother and sister. Andi came again. But this time Andi was not alone. Introduce, this is Rinaya, Andi's future wife. She's a woman that Andi loves very much. Andi begs Father and Mother's blessing to marry Rinaya."

Andi turned towards Rinaya. The beautiful woman smiled at him then smiled at the navel of the Andi family.

"Assalamualaikum, Father, Mother and sister. I'm Rinaya. I thank Dad and Mom for being great parents to a great kid next to me. He is a good man with a very good heart. And I'm grateful to know him and to be his wife."

Andi smiled back at her lover. They both sat next to the tomb of the Andi family with a small mat that was given by Aunt Susi before they left earlier.

The two of them solemnly prayed without regard for the sun which still shone brightly far above them.

Half an hour later they left the tomb. Andi's car drove slowly down the village road.

In front of a house not far from Om Ihsan's house, Andi stopped his car. He took Rinaya through the yard and came to the door.

"Mas, whose house is this?"

Andi took the key in her pants pocket and opened the door.

"This is my parents' house. My childhood home until I graduated High School. This is where I used to live, yeah."

Andi pulls Rinaya's hand slowly, inviting her into the house. Rinaya looks to admire the house.

"House is clean and tidy, mas. It's not like an empty house. The courtyard was also very beautiful, many green plants were soothing to the eyes."

Rinaya circulated the view to the entire room in it which did look very well maintained. On the wall of the room hung two photos that he knew were Andi's parents because Andi had shown them to Rinaya.

Andi opened the wide door of the room located in the middle and let Rinaya enter. From the contents in his room Rinaya could already guess if it was Andi's room.

"This is Andi's room?"

"Yes.."

Rinaya looked around the room. Everything is clean and neat too. Not like a room without occupants. He approached the still slick study table. There are only a few reading books there. The rest, on the table was neatly arranged small to large picture frames containing photos of Andi's childhood until he grew up, all there.

"Mas Andi comes home often? This house is very well maintained."

"No, Yes. Once a month or two, even if you're not busy."

"Treatment of this house I leave it to Aunt Susi. Every three days someone comes to clean the house."

"This house is also often used for the needs of residents here. Whether it's a meeting, meeting, gathering or a lecture. I'd rather this house be of benefit to the people around than just be left alone as an uninhabited house."

Rinaya did not expect that Andi was very good hearted, much better than he had seen so far. Once again she admired the kindness of her future husband.

"My future husband turned out to be an amazing heart.." Praise Rinaya with pride.
