The Single Parent

Treated Longing

Two months have passed since the departure of Mas Arif to Papua, today is a day that I am very much waiting for, I happen to be on a work holiday, as well as Vano school holidays.

In the morning, my heart seemed to flower because my husband was coming home, I immediately prepared to pick up Mas Arif.

Mr. Dirman was waiting in the living room ready to take us to the airport to pick up Mas Arif, while Mother-in-law did not come to pick up Mas Arif, because he was not feeling well.

Time shows at 08:00 am.

"Mother, a lot of rest, Rinda was cooking" I said while in Mom's room.

"Yes Rin, thank you, be careful, don't stop by right away" Mother said.

"Yes Mom, Rinda left first" I said as I shook hands with Mom, not forgetting to kiss the back of Mom's hand.

I turned around and closed the bedroom door My mother-in-law then went down the stairs one by one, towards the living room, there was Vano and Mr. Dirman.

"Come sir, we're leaving!" take me to Mr. Dirman.

"Yes Brother Rinda" said Mr. Dirman

I got out of the house, I locked the door and the gate and then got into the car with Vano.

On its way.

"Quickly two months, Mr. Dirman felt that just yesterday drove Mas Arif to work, uh now he has picked him up" said Mr. Dirman.

"He he he, yes sir, busy sometimes forget the time yes" I said.

"Then, when Mas Arif first left, it was a long day" I said again.

"Sir Dirman's home with whom?" my many.

"My wife, Ma'am, has three children but all outside the city are outside Java as well" replied Mr. Dirman.

"Non't come home, sir?" my many.

"People rarely go home, but the money once a month to go home he he he" replied Mr. Dirman.

"Sir Dirman could be" I said.

"Although the children of Mr. Dirman is sufficient for the needs of Mr. Dirman, but it feels less Mbak, if not meet children, grandchildren and sons-in-law" said Mr. Dirman.

"Yes sir, how many months you go home" I asked.

"A year is not necessarily Mbak" replied Mr. Dirman.

"Please Mr. Dirman, maybe they are busy" I said comforting Mr. Dirman.

It did not feel like our trip had arrived at Juanda Airport, it felt like we wanted to meet with Mas Arif soon.

I got out of the car and Vano followed me.

"Sir Dirman, please wait for me here, I want to go in" I said to Mr. Dirman.

"Yes, be careful" said Mr. Dirman.

Then I left Mr. Dirman, took Vano into the airport, arrived at the waiting place for the customers, I opened my bag intending to contact Mas Arif, I see the message in whats up already ticked two and blue, it seems to have arrived here.

The clock on my phone showed me at 11:05, I called my husband.

Tuut.tuut.. ringing phone voice, not yet appointed Mas Arif, may still check the goods, my mind.

"Mother, Dad, how long?" ask Vano.

"Prophe Vano, Dad may still check the goods" I replied.

No matter how long the phone on my phone rang, I saw Mas Arif calling, my heart felt happy, immediately I picked up the phone from him.

"Assalamualaikum Mas" salamku.

"Greetings, where are you now?" ask Mas Arif.

"It's already at Mas Airport, where I drove you" I explained

"Whether I go there now, you wait for me there" said Mas Arif, and hung up.

From far away I saw Mas Arif walking towards us, Vano ran towards Mas Arif and hugged him, then in Vano carried Mas Arif and walked towards me.

I approached Mas Arif, smiling at my husband.

"Finally met" I said.

Vano was taken down from his carrier and Mas Arif hugged me.

"Finally this longing was treated to meet my bidadar, he he he" said Mas Arif.

"Let's go home!" bring Mas Arif.

Vano in Mas Arif's cradle, I walked beside him hand in hand towards the car park.

I saw Mr. Dirman standing near the car, seeing our arrival, Mr. Dirman got into the car and the car approached us, Mas Arif opened the back door and entered sitting next to me while holding Vano.

The car left Juanda Airport heading to our city of residence.

"Rin... Mom how's it going?" ask Mas Arif.

"Mom's not feeling well" I replied.

"You had some food at home?" ask Mas Arif.

"For Rinda to make breakfast" I said.

"Sir Dirman eat first!" bring Mas Arif

"Yes, where?" ask Mr. Dirman.

"Rin, I want satay with gule ya" said Mas Arif.

"Let's go, I know where it's good?" my many.

"Sir Dirman, the front turn to the left yes" Nas Arif said.

The car turns left.

"Well in front of that sir, stop" said Mas Arif.

I see there's a satay stall, gule.

We all got out of the car and got into the stall and ordered food.

Shortly after, the shop owner came to bring the food we ordered and soon we enjoyed the food.

"Vano, can you eat it?" my many.

"Hard Mother" he answered.

"Try this Vano" I said while giving goat meat satay.

Mas Arif smiled at Vano who had difficulty eating goat satay.

"Taken only one Vano" said Mas Arif.

After eating satay, Mas Arif paid for our food, and continued the journey home, not forgetting to wrap satay for under home.

Get home.

"Sir Dirman, this" I said while giving a number of money services to pick up Mas Arif at Juanda Airport.

"Thank you Ms. Rinda, I went straight home" said Mr. Dirman.

We went into the house, I put satay on the plate and I put it on the dining table, then went into the bedroom, Mas Arif was changing clothes, he said, I walked over and I hugged my husband letting go of my longing.

"Mas..kangen" I said slowly.

"I'm also Rin" he said, kissing my cheek.

"Mas, don't you go upstairs see Mom?" my many.

"Yes Rin, let's go upstairs" said Mas Arif and took off our arms.

We went out of the room at the same time.

"Vano let's see Grandma!" take me.

Then we went upstairs, Vano already ran up the stairs.

Tok...

The door to the room opened to Mom.

"Mom, how's it going?" ask Mas Arif while shaking hands with Mom.

We sat on the edge of the bed.

"It's pretty good, Rif, are you okay?" ask Mother.

"Yes Ma'am" replied Mas Arif.

"Mom... eat yes? did you bring satay with you, or did Rinda bring her food here?" my many.

"No need Rin, I've improved this, maybe because the age is no longer young, so often do not feel well like this he he he he, let's go down" said Mother.

We came out of Mom's bedroom, down the stairs to the dining table, we accompanied Mom to eat.

"Well, look at me eating, you don't eat" I asked.

"So it's been eating in Bu's stall" replied Mas Arif.

Finish eating Mom goes straight upstairs to rest.
