After saying goodbye to bi Inah and contacting Caca's mother, Theo left Bengkulu city to Manna where his extended family came from.
While enjoying the trip, Theo is quite stable driving his vehicle.Enjoy the trip while occasionally singing songs from the audio of his car. Before his days are busy with work, then before that day he wants to enjoy the leisure time that is still left.
The smell of fresh flowers still smelled from the tomb of the mother. A bouquet of fresh red roses lay beautifully beside a gravestone bearing the name Nina Agatha. Looks like someone just came.
"Mama, sorry Theo just came to visit. Theo just came home and just finished Theo ma's studies. If you had, you would be proud of Theo's achievements. Papa is still as cold as Theo. I don't know what a big deal papa's hatred of Theo is. Maybe Theo is a kid that Papa didn't expect. Theo's heart hurts."
Theo took out all the weight of his heart on the beautifully preserved tomb. Completely took off the burden that many years had piled up on his shoulders. Like a child complaining, Theo's tears broke. The tightness that had been held back he spilled which gave him relief.
Of the flowers he had encountered, the one in his mind was his papa.
"Did you visit Mom???"
"Hughh... He didn't even take Theo ma." Theo smiled wryly.
Enough to confide in the buried mama, Theo ahirnya with a heart of relief to leave the tomb. The destination was the grandfather's house that he hadn't visited in a long time.
***
The old house looked deserted as Theo entered the courtyard which looked so beautiful. Some flowering fruit and mango fruit that is tempting to ask to be picked. A house that so reconciles the hearts of its inhabitants.
Theo's footsteps came to a halt as a voice greeted him.
"Who are you looking for?" Sapa a girl whom Theo does not know welcomes him at grandfather's house.
"I am Theo, the grandson of the owner of this house. Who are you? And why are you at Grandpa's."
"Oohhh granddad tah... Come on, grandpa just got into the house." The girl answered without answering Theo's question.
Theo momentarily ignored the sweet girl who had welcomed his arrival. Greeting the grandfather who was smiling warmly welcomed him.
"Wahhh, grandfather's handsome grandson is home..."
"Yes cake, how's grandpa doing?"
"Grandfather's news is good... When did Theo arrive in Indonesia?"
"Yesterday cake... Who's that cake girl?" Ask Theo.
"Oohhh, he's the nurse your father told you to take care of your grandfather. Understand that your grandfather is not as healthy as Theo.
"S told papa?" Inner Theo
"Nothing..." Reply grandpa
"Look mama there was just jiarah, the flowers are still very new"
Grandfather simply smiled in response to the words of the grandson.
"That must be your papa. Without even stopping by this house, grandfather was sure it must be him. Dozens of years with his faithful visit to your mama's tomb. Even often without stopping by he only visited the place. I don't know, maybe he needs to be taken to a psychiatrist."
Yaghh, a man who loved his wife very much, even ignored his own son. But that ice-cold man cares about everything. Even arguably the life that Theo got was very very very well deserved. Comparison of the facilities Theo got with what papa used like earth and sky. Rumah Karang Tinggi which is more precisely spelled Villa is very far away with the house occupied by the papa in Kenari which is just a simple modern minimalist house.
"That was his love for the mother who had abandoned them first."
"Name Prisa... In addition to taking care of his grandfather he works at Darmawan's doctor's clinic."
Doctor Darmawan, a friend of his father.
"Oohh..."
"By the way, what's your plan? Will you stay in Indonesia or will you come back?"
"It looks like Theo wants to work here on a cake"
"In your papa company?" inquiringly
"Yahhh, Theo wants to try first..."
"Grandfather knows our intention is not to work but to be close to your papa, right?"
Theo smiled in response to the sentence of the grandfather who guessed 100% true of his heart intent.
"Actually your papa is very dear to you. But she couldn't reveal it because her over-injured heart lost your mama."
"Yes cake. Theo was aware of that. Theo also initially did not accept papa's attitude. But long parting with him made Theo contemplate papa's attitude so cold to Theo. Theo realized he could not express his affection with the proper attitude of a papa. But what Theo's got, the facilities you've given me, a very decent life."
"You need to be patient. Slowly papa you can definitely understand what you want."
"Yes cake. Maybe by often being near him papa can open his heart. Hopefully papa can make up for mom's departure. I can see Theo's whereabouts."
Serious conversations took place between two different generations. Theo loosely told his grandfather and vice versa grandfather told a lot about his family's past, especially about the mother who was very good in the eyes of his grandfather.
