The Single Parent

Confessors

After Arif picked up Vano and picked me up at my job, I was waiting in the car park as usual

"Mother...Mother. " cried Vano while running to hug me kissed me when the car door was opened the same mas Arif.

"Mother's son" I said as I hugged me kissed Vano

"Om Arif not Vano kiss" said mas Arif

I just smiled at the act of Arif mas while pointing at his cheek to kiss Vano, Vano approached looking shy to kiss Arif mas

"Rin ate first huh, where we ate yesterday huh? pinta mas Arif's

"May you, but I'll pay ya" I said

"No need for Rin, I'll pay" said mas Arif

"I'm not good, I haven't finished Arif's gold money" I said again

"By the way Rin, don't say that anymore, I don't like Rin, as long as I can, I want to please you too Vano" he said

It was at the restaurant that when the day I went there was the same mas Arif

"Mother must be good food here." said Vano.

"Vano has never been here" he continued

"It's been here the same om Arif" said om Arif

I just smiled at them

After choosing the menu I handed it to the waiter, shortly after the food came

"Hmmm nyummy" said Vano looking

The food in front of him, I deliberately ordered food that is not spicy for Vano

"Mantaff mother" said Vano again while showing her thumb

"Thank you, my mother" I said

"I saw Vano eating like Rin" he said

"When you come here again" said Vano

"Husstt can't be so Vano" I said

"Well, Rin, I like Vano, funny, adorable" he said

Vano later you want to come by the plane" asked Mas Arif

"You want to but the same mother" he said

After eating and chatting, Arif paid the cashier and brought the food box again.

"Mas... for mom dad? I asked while looking at the food box

"Yes Rin, same for my mother at home" he said

while walking towards the car

On the way, Vano as usual slept in the middle seat, I sat in the front seat side by side with Mas Arif

"Rin..kok looks like you are so moody" asked mas Arif.

"Mas.I'm not good with all this goodness of yours" I replied.

"Rin. although you haven't really opened your heart to me yet but. I really sincerely did, I came back to this city just to find you, to see you, whatever your condition I accept Rin, I'm happy to do, I promised you that if I came back here I would just like to see you, meet you Rin, apologize to you, even if you are married and happy I would leave you, but in fact you are the way you are today, I still want to be with you, marry you Rin" she explained

"You need to know, as long as I leave you I feel guilty about you, there are some women who are close to me, but what? I can't, I can't forget you, I keep thinking about you, until I come back here again, I've been here a week Rin, before I met you at the ATM, I went around to where we used to be but I didn't find you, ever to your house but said your neighbor had moved a long time ago" continued mas Arif

I was silent but why were these eyes glazed over, I was moved by the confessor

"Why do you know where my house is from?" much

"There is a friend who is a complex with your house, I once sent a picture of you when High School first asked for help to find you maybe there is something similar to him, he said, initially hesitant to keep sending your new picture to me, not long after you met me at the ATM, finally I went to your house, it was really you" he explained with a laugh

"Finally met my bidadar again" he continued, smiling to see me

It doesn't feel like home

"Cepet is almost home" I said

"It's okay, I'm even happy to see you continue" he continued with a smile

"Ah.mas Arif is there" I replied with a shy smile.

the car stopped and Arif got out of the car as well as I, Vano was still sleeping, and Arif carried Vano to the bed

"Thank you, sir" he said

"Mas Arif went straight home?" much

"If you can stay here until night" he replied with a laugh

"It's important not to sleep here, mas in the living room first yes, I want to take a shower first" I said

Vano was still sound asleep, adzan maghrib reverberated from the mosque not far from home

"Sholat maghrib mas Arif" I said

"Come, together? answerable

We pray together, I pray Arif, if he is my husband and every moment like this is happy for me, O God thank you for all this, my mind.

Both of my parents often pray together in the mosque usually go home after Isya prayer, after finishing our maghrib prayer to the living room

"Mas may ask" I started to open the conversation

"Yes, what is Rin" he asked

"Mother Arif still lives at home?" much

"After the incident, the house was sold and the mother moved to housing not far from the same place of work" he said

"Keep...mom married again?" much

"No, my mother lives with my sister, but now she is alone because my sister lives with her husband in Jogja" she explained

"Kalo mas Arif lives to his own Papuan mother?" much

"Yes, because I've met again

with you once every three months I would go home even if only 2 weeks here" said mas Arif

"Thank you" I said with a smile

When my parents came back from the mosque

"It's been a long time Rif?" ask the father after praying Isya from the mosque

"Lumayan lama sir" replied mas Arif

"Just go ahead" said the father as he left the two of us in the living room into the house

"Vano hasn't woken up yet, has Rin?" ask me Arif

"Tomorrow dawn just woke him up, maybe noon did not sleep him" I said

"Rin.." said mas Arif as he looked at me.

"Don't look at me so darn, I'm not feeling so good myself" I said

"You're getting prettier wearing Rin's hijab" she said, holding my hand,

"Don't do this, you can't" I replied as I let go of his hold and smiled at Arif

"When can it?" ask me, Arif teased me

"Yes, if the husband and wife can" I replied

"Wedding is it?" said

"No, I'm still in iddah" I replied with a laugh

"I'm going home first Rin?" pamit mas Arif

"Loh kok cepet he said to want until night" asked me

"I can't stand your charm, I just go home instead of my head dizzy" she said, I saw her smiling and laughing

After saying goodbye to both my parents mas Arif left my parents' house, I went into the room wanting to rest together with Vano
