The rigidity of Khalis also began to melt with a jest that was launched by his only son and Dona. Coupled with breakfast together at Dona's house, making herself feel welcome. It's just that, the doubt about Dona's status made her hold back the feeling. Until Dona started asking about her personal problems.
"I'm sorry, is Rafif just living together with dad ? because all this time the package is always only for two people."
"Yes Tan, for the past two years, we've been living alone. Dad was consistently single after mom died two years ago" Rafif replied casually.
Hearing Rafif's answer, Dona regretted asking personal questions that she should not have asked.
Khalis who saw Dona's facial expression change, immediately chimed in.
"Yes, I've been single for two years. Yes it is a road like this, just enjoy."
Ara who had been eavesdropping on the conversation from the inside, suddenly approached, "Sama dong, mom is also a jomblowati has been almost three years."
"Raaa..," reproves Dona subtly.
"Kan emang, I separated from my father not long after we moved here. Dad in Jakarta has a new wife, so we were moved here with Dad," explained Ara again.
"Sorry, don't you know what it means ?" ask Khalis.
Dona took a deep breath and then she immediately stopped this conversation.
"Later on, it's a long story, with episodes, soap operas are also outgrown."
Khalis read Dona's body language which seemed uncomfortable with this discussion, making her not ask further questions.
A momentary silence ensued. Khalis and Dona both don't know what to say. Until Khalis' phone rings.
"I'm sorry, I have to accept it first."
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Khal, my mother's father had booked a ticket to Jogja, the day before your office event," said the mother.
"Lho, I'll book the ticket. Why did you order first?"
"So Khansa open tickets online, see there is a promo to Jogja, yes, order directly" replied the mother.
"Ooo, but it hasn't paid yet, has it ? send me the code Mom, I'll pay from here."
"Yes not paid yet, just finished booking. Sa, send the booking code to Mas Khalis, he'll pay for the ticket."
"Yes ma'am, I sent it to her e-mail" replied Khansa.
"Had Khansa sent you your e-mail, you'll check it later. Oiya, have you had breakfast?"
"Again breakfast Ma'am, at Dona's house" Khalis replied in a whisper.
"I'm sorry, I'll call you again . Assalamu'alaikum" Khalis said to end the conversation with his mother.
"Why Dad?" ask Rafif.
"Yangti, already booked a plane ticket here, the day before the office event," replied Khalis.
"Bigger, Yangti is here ! same aunt Khansa and family too, right ?"
"Yes, Yangti, Yangkung and Khan's aunt" replied Khalis.
"Eh, family from Jakarta want to come ? how many people?" ask Dona.
"The plan is five, my parents are the same as my sister's family."
"When ?"
"The day before family gathering."
"How long ?"
"If my parents are about a week, but if my sister is only two days, Friday night until Jogja, Sunday night back to Jakarta."
"Hmmm, why don't you tell me, is this related to eating?" dona protests.
"Oiya forgot, don't think until there."
"Father think of the other one, anyway," goda Rafif.
"Oke Fif, your pocket money, I cut 25%, you protest again it will be cut to 50%!"
"Dad is the same as your own child !"
Dona who did not understand about the talk of father and son just smiled amusedly.
"It's like exciting huh, Dad's chat with Rafif ?"
"Yes, from Hong Kong! That father never wants to lose, always does everything he can to let me lose, not fair !"
" So I want you to get married again, I ask for a new mom, let someone else !"
"Fix, the rest 25% !" khalis was furious.
"Wild ! Ma'am, I asked for a snack supply at school, yes" Rafif told Dona.
Hearing his son's request, Khalis was only able to lower his reddened face holding in shame.
"Sip, in the shaa Allah. Later...., uh but how do I call him change ?"
"No papa, please call me aja, kangen," replied Rafif who made Dona's heart trenchant.
Khalis also realized that his only son yearned for the caress and affection of a mother.
"No, no papa. Rafif can call mom, quite get one boy instantly," joked Dona who made Rafif excited.
"Thank you Ma'am. Hmmm I feel like I'm an instant noodle that can make people happy, an instant child," continued Rafif.
Dona and Ara laughed at Rafif's words.
"I love instant noodles, make a smile!" connect Ara.
"Hard code, Dad!" whispered Rafif to his father, which made Khalis speechless wrong.
"I'm sorry." Khalis said.
"There is nothing to forgive, there is nothing wrong, just relax" said Dona.
The misbehaved Khalis immediately finished his breakfast and returned to the living room followed by Rafif.
"Sorry, so breakfast is free here" Khalis said.
"Hmmm formal again. Fif, what's your favorite food, a snack? later you WA to mom yes, let me ready for Monday," said Dona.
"Thank you, Mom. I'll WA list my favorite foods and dad's, '" replied Rafif.
"I'm sorry, so take nicotine" Khalis said.
"Who is bothered ? I'm even happy to get an instant child, yes Fif," joked Dona.
"Iyes Ma'am!"
Khalis was increasingly misbehaved with Rafif's behavior, so decided to go home soon.
"It's getting late, I'm saying home. Thank you for the breakfast" Khalis said.
"Back thanks for the insta, too" replied Dona, who made Rafif laugh.
"Oiya this is for lunch. Do not forget to spend the fruit and vegetables yes, Fif " continued Dona while giving lunch packages to Rafif.
"Yes, Mom"
"Eh funny mother too, just this time heard the answer thank you it back thanks," continued Rafif.
"Mommy is anti-main stream, but if other play is not a problem, just don't play games," joked Dona again which makes Rafif more impatient for the father to start stepping.
"Well, dong!" Rafif whiskey.
"Hmm what the hell was there from that whisper ? what secrets are there?" ask Dona.
"There's no ma'am, man's business!" raff replied with a meaningful smile.
Khalis just shook his head watching Rafif who looked different than usual.
"You're the reason, Fif. How do you feel so happy ?" ask Khalis.
"Hmm didn't you ? too jaim!"
"Ooo Mr. Fridge can jaim too?" dona Canda.
"It can be so much Mom! but when the jaimnya lost, kejaiman it turned into an upset! kayak now !" replied Rafif who immediately ran out and into the car to avoid a counterattack from the father.
"Eee, you're not saying goodbye !" call Khalis.
"Titip Well! Uh Mom, I'm going home. Wait WA from me! Assalamu'alaikum!"
"Wa'alaikumsalam," Dona replied with a laugh.
"I'm sorry, suddenly Rafif is not as usual" Khalis said.
"Hmm what is it usually like? is it usually worse?" dona Canda.
Khalis was silent and did not know what to answer.
"It looks like today we're exchanging roles" Dona said.
"meaning?"
"When in the office, I was stiff and a bit tense, Mr. Khalis trus who said 'just relax'. But today, Mr. Khalis who looks tense, hmmm but why tense? If I was yesterday, right, because the first time I took care of office catering, but if now, what's the matter?"
Wanting Khalis's heart to answer, because there you are, he chooses to keep it until the time comes.
"There's nothing, this is my first time to a woman's house, other than my wife's womb."
"Oh sorry..," said Dona who became feeling all wrong and bad.
Uch this mouth really can't be a henchman anyway, muttered Dona in the heart.
"No papa, well there's always for the first time" Khalis said.
"I say goodbye, oiya sorry not saying goodbye to father mother, tuh boy has just entered the car," continued Khalis.
"No papa, relax" said Dona.
"I go home first, thanks for breakfast. Assalamu'alaikum" Khalis's.
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
Dona stood in front of the fence of his house, until Khalis' car passed.
