The Single Parent

The Single Parent
Togetherness Part 1



On Sunday I saw the sky cheerful, I prepared all my needs and Vano and cooked his perfunctory way to stock us to the zoo, Vano also had a bath and changed clothes, already handsome my son, this, I'm the only one who still seeps he he he.


Shortly thereafter, Arif arrived.


"Behold, I take a shower" I said from the inside.


"Live into the living room there is Vano there, the father's mother was not there to see the father's friend who died" I explained.


Then I went to the bathroom, changed clothes and ready to leave, I brought some bags forward, mas Arif was amazed by me.


"Is there something strange?" my many.


"Cock carry a bag like this? wanna camping?" ask Mas Arif.


"Yes not Mas, this stock Vano later opened there, there is a good place to rest for relaxing, I have been there" I explained.


The door to my house was locked, I saw a few eyes staring at me cynically, let them gossip about anything, what I care about instead of eating my heart, I just open the car door, I open it, Mas Arif carried Vano in the front door, I put the bag in the middle.


"Rin just sat in front of Vano" pinta Mas Arif, the middle door I closed and moved to the front door, my door Vano.


On its way.


"The gas in front of the right turn straight" said I showed the direction, Mas Arif long time not come back here so do not know there is a new tour.


"Nah ahead there is the place" pointed me.


"Turn to the right there is a car park" I continued.


When we arrived at the zoo, Vano looked happy to look around.


"Mother see there's a tiger" he said.


"It's just a statue, baby, inside there's a real tiger" I said.


Mas Arif carrying my bag we walked together to the counter, after paying for tickets and wearing a bracelet by our officers entered, Vano was enthusiastic about seeing various animals while running to show us, Vano said, in my heart if people see me we must think we are a harmonious family, occasionally Mas Arif carrying Vano and I carry a bag of supplies alternately.


"Mas.. let's rest there" while showing the gazebo in front.


We walked there, until I opened my bag and picked up some boxes of food and snacks.


"You are the one who cooked this Rin" asked Mas Arif


Vano immediately picked up the milk box and unscrewed the straw and immediately drank it as if he was thirsty.


"Yes Mas, this morning was as rough as it was, because in there was nothing to sell so I brought it from home like this" I replied.


Immediately I get rice to the mas Arif side dish also vegetables, I also, while feeding Vano I also eat because the time to leave I have not had time to eat breakfast.


"Enak Rin your cooking" said Mas Arif


"Don't tell me, tell me honestly if it's not good" I said.


"Loh really, this is you see me added again" he said.


"It could be that Mas Arif is hungry he he he" I replied with a laugh.


"It's really delicious, you know that I'm in Papua rarely find cuisine like this, so know this food wants to go again, let alone you who cook" he said.


After the break I cleaned up the leftovers and so on and the unused ones I put in the trash and some food containers I put back in the bag, we continued back around the zoo.


"Rin." call Mas Arif.


"What's up, Mom?" my many.


"Rin... Will you not be my wife?" tanyakanya.


"If you're heavy, Rin won't answer, let me show you my love for you too Vano, let me take you to work this week, in less than 6 days I'm back in Papua, and get another leave 3 months later, I came back here again" he explained.


"Rin.. later when you go home, may your heart remain open to me, will be my wife" he continued.


The time showed at 12:15 almost 3 hours we were inside, Vano did not look tired either.


"Shall first yes" asked me.


"We'll replace it, take care of Vano, sorry to bother you" I continued.


"Rin... do you see me you bother?I'm glad Rin did this for you for your son, although I know you're still traumatized by me still hurting your heart because of me, but what I'm doing is sincere because I love you" she said.


"Thank you" I said.


"I pray first, leave Vano yes.." I continued.


I headed to the ablution after that went into the mushola to perform the prayer of the duhur, at a glance I saw Mas Arif and Vano so familiar.


O Allah, if he you are destined to be my soul mate in the hereafter, unite us in marriage, strengthen our faith in the face of all the problems of life, Aamiin,


my prayer after the dhuhur prayer, after packing my face towards Mas Arif and Vano.


"For napa, how does it look so exciting?" my many.


"Main2 is rubber to form Rin" said Mas Arif.


"Mother..Mother.I can make like a butterfly loh" said Vano excitedly while showing the results of his work.


"Sholat first Mas, do not wait here with Vano" while smiling towards Mas Arif


Mas Arif went into the musholla to perform the prayers of the duhur.


"It's late in the afternoon, aren't we going home? it looks like this sleepy Vano" I said.


"Yes Rin, I just carry Vano yes" said Mas Arif, I handed Vano from my sling to carry Mas Arif, I walked behind Mas Arif while carrying a bag of supplies.


"Rin help you grab the car keys in my pants pocket yeah, I can't take these" said Mas Arif.


Long time mas Arif really like this, cook me touch-touch it if take the key I thought in my heart.


"Mas, Vano is not fat first yes, Mas open the car door, it's not good I took from it" I said with a smile.


Vano moved me who was holding an unfilled bag under, Mas Arif opened the back door I entered while putting Vano to sleep in the middle seat then I closed the car door, and I closed the car door, Arif is ready in his driving seat.


"Rin.. just sit in front, we're talking" he asked.


"Come on...Vano is safe there" he continued.


I moved the seat in front beside Mas Arif, looking at the scene in front.


"Rin..." Arif called me.


I turned to face Mas Arif then lowered my eyes.


"I love you" he continued.


I smiled seeing it in her eyes there was a light that calmed me, a shady eye that always caused peace when looking at her.


"Thank you for your love" I replied timidly.


During the trip home Vano was still sleeping in the middle seat, Mas Arif and I stole the view like a young man who was in love again, if caught smiling shyly and averted his eyes, he said, I kept looking forward helplessly I saw the eyes and smile of Mas Arif, ashamed he he he he.
