The Single Parent

Dusk Meaning

Entering the car and heading to the embah house in the village.

An hour later we arrived at the house, saw Vano playing in the yard of the house, saw us coming he ran up to us and hugged and kissed me.

“How was last night able to sleep?” my many.

He nodded his head, probably because he could sleep on his own so it didn't matter far from me.

Married to Mas Arif makes Vano independent, it is also because of the support of Mas Arif, if I have not met Mas Arif may still continue to be spoiled with me, because basically I can't break up with a child.

Mother approached us who were still standing outside.

“Come in” says Mother.

We followed Mom's footsteps from behind, then sat in the living room, this spacious but wider house.

“Bu so go home now?” my many.

“Iya Rin, your father tomorrow must teach, you also work kan” said Mother.

“Vano really so stay at home Mbah uti during holidays?” my many.

Vano nodded his head and said.

“Iya Mommy, at the house of Mbah uti, Vano met with friends, at the house of grandmother had no friends”

“Means later Mother same father back to grandmother house huh?” I asked while looking at the expression of my son's adorable face.

“Iya Bunda” replied.

In my heart, obviously my husband is now having fun, can make love to me without interruption because my mother-in-law is also not home.

I glanced at my husband, and he was smiling happily.

Right, he's happy, my mind.

“Rin, before going home let's eat first” said Bi Asih told us to eat.

“Leave you and your husband who has not eaten, let's go in, taste the village food” said Bi Asih back.

“Come Mas” take me and we stand towards the dining table.

Take the plate for my husband and I then put the rice into the plate, and the lodeh know tempeh, as well as the omelet, must be delicious this is my mind.

I took it for me and for my husband and we both ate.

“Enak also yes Rin” said Mas Arif.

“Iya Mas” replied.

“Mas, it seems very happy ya Vano stay with Mom?” tanyaku.

He smiled at me.

“Iya, but don't be there long Vano, I also miss Vano” said Mas Arif.

After we finished eating, I saw that Mother and Father also Vano were preparing to go home, we said goodbye to Embah, Bi Asih and Uncle.

“We go home first Mak” said Mother to Embah.

“Be careful” Embah message.

We walked to the car and went inside.

After everything was ready Mas Arif started his car and we headed to my parents' house, half an hour later we arrived at my parents' house.

All down from the car, I opened the door and we entered the house.

“Vano, aren't you tired?” my many.

“Mother after this go home to grandma yes the same father, if Vano ask to pick up, Mbah uti or Mbah kung let call Bunda” I said.

“Bu, Vano nitip, this is money for Vano's snacks, milk I have brought” I said while giving some money to Mother.

“Iya Rin, you go straight home, do not stay here?” ask Mother.

“Iya Ma'am, Rinda does not bring clothes for tomorrow than tomorrow in a hurry mending now Rinda home” I replied.

“Hati-days yes” says Mother.

“Vano, Mommy stay first yes, you are fine here, so good boy” my message then I hug and kiss Vano cheek, as well as Mas Arif.

We shook hands with our parents and got out of the house to the car and went inside.

I hooked my seat belt after closing the door, I looked at my parents and my son, waved at them and the car left my parents' house.

In Travel.

“Mas... here it feels at stay anak” I said slowly.

“It's only a few days loh” replied Mas Arif.

“Ah Mas, although for a while, I as a Mother also feel lost, but with this make me ready in the future will be left Vano, yes.. someday we will be left by anak” I said.

“Ya for children who have a lot of Rin” said Mas Arif relaxed.

I glared at my husband.

“Enak just for many children, yes Mas, bikinya delicious, I'm Mas who takes care of her who gave birth to her, do not hurt and bet my life is giving birth, anyway later when Rinda got pregnant again and gave birth, Mas had to go home to see Rinda in pain to know what the sacrifice of the woman was like” I said angrily.

“Rin...Rin.. You are not angry a day so why?” ask Mas Arif.

“Lah Mas this makes Rinda emotional just” replied me.

“He he he, the more angry the adorable you” said Mas Arif.

I pinched his waist.

“Don't Rin, again drive this, later at home whatever you want my body I resigned” he said with a seductive smile.

I threw my face to the left side, then faced forward looking at the vehicle traffic in front of me.

The twilight spray from the western horizon makes the atmosphere this afternoon feel very beautiful.

“Rin... what do you think?” ask husband.

“No Mas, I saw the twilight before us, yes the twilight towards the night, the nights that are always missed by a pair of human children, by the family, and by everyone, because when the night before most activities we no longer live we gather with family”, I replied.

Mas Arif silently pensively heard my words, a moment later Mas Arif said.

“Iya Rin, wherever and wherever we go family is where we dock”

I nodded at my husband's words indicating that I agreed.

“When I was a kid, we rarely met my parents Rin, Mom and Dad rarely come home, maybe once a week or two, they were busy working out of town, he said, I was with my grandmother” Mas Arif started to tell her childhood.

“Mother and I started living with Mas Arif and Vera when?” my many.

“At first Mother who lived with us, at that time grandmother died yes around I was in class 6 Sd, Mom moved to work in this city, and began to set up a psychology bureau, and, while the father instead moved to work outside the island, and we met once a year, so Rin, maybe there is no good communication between Mother and Father finally Father cheated and married his affair left Mother alone with Vera here” replied Mas Arif.

“Mother is there no desire to get married huh Mas? Ten years on your own, have you lived?’ my many.

“Not knowing I'm Rin, maybe too hurt in leaving Bapak” replied Mas Arif.

It didn't feel like we were home.
