The Single Parent

The Parents Meeting

At my parents' house, I got out of the car and opened the car door, I picked up and carried Vano, usually Arif did this, my tears were glazed again, so in the memories that you create mas, until every activity I remember you

"Aunty comes in first" I asked Aunt Linda while carrying Vano to the bedroom and looking for my parents, and I returned to the living room.

In the living room we saw Aunt Linda and my parents, I went back inside to the kitchen to make warm tea and cakes for treats, then returned to the living room.

"Sorry Auntie, please Auntie" I said as I sat next to my mother.

"Rin. you stay at Auntie's place only, during Arif in Papua, can really be with your parents" said Aunt Linda.

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

"If you want to be there a few days and here a few days it's okay Rin can't be tired on the road, but it's fine as Miss Linda" said Mother.

"Yes Ma'am" I said.

"Tante.. later Rinda there Aunty, Rinda.

tell Auntie if you want to go" I said.

"This is Rin's key to the house, know for yourself how Auntie works, worried if you want to go there Auntie does not exist" explained Aunt Rinda.

"Tante may not be there every day, sorry my parents must miss Vano, I also can not be far from Vano" I said.

"It's your comfort Rinda, at any time you can go home, there is already a house key" said Aunt Linda.

"Mom.. I say yes, sorry if Arif is wrong and not good with this family" said Aunt Linda.

"That's very much Linda's mom, has been very attentive to my daughter and granddaughter" said the father.

"That's a good child ma'am, we always bother Arif, sorry if our daughter also has no interest in Linda's mother also nak Arif" said Mother.

After that Aunt Linda came out of our house followed by Father, Mother and I, Aunt Linda got into her car.

"Be careful" said my father.

Aunt Linda nodded her head and slowly the car left this house.

Back in the living room the three of us talked.

"Rinda.... What do you think about Ms. Linda's invitation to stay there, we don't feel good to bother there?" ask father.

"Rinda is also so sir, but know yourself how Aunt Linda is, indeed in the house there is no one just aunt Rinda alone" I explained.

"To honor his good intentions, you go there Rin if you feel tired to go home" Mother advised.

"Yes Ma'am, I'm going to go to Mom's room first, I'm going to take a little break" I said as I passed on leaving my parents.

In the car, a 50-year-old mother herself drives her own car, "How do I let Rinda away from my supervision, Arif loves it so much, I also want to keep Rinda, Rinda, if there is nothing in the way how, this is far from his work, if he is told how other men, continue if his ex-husband takes his son how, pity him, too, I hope he accepts my offer to stay at my house" Aunt Linda said slowly.

*****

In the room I saw hp, still tick one of my messages to mas Arif.

"God protect my future husband" I prayed.

the time shows that at 13:20, Mas Arif should have gotten off his plane and transited at Ngurah Rai Airport, I thought.

Not long before my phone reads there's a whats up message coming in.

"Darling..I just got off the plane, followed later, if I'm in the waiting room" replied Mas Arif.

"Be careful" I replied.

Vano woke up from his sleep hugging and kissing me.

"Mother. milk" he whined.

"For a while Mother made it" I said as I went out to make milk for Vano, then I handed the bottle to Vano.

My phone rang back I saw a message from Mas Arif.

"Rinda is still missing" he said.

"Sama Mas, Rinda is still missing" I replied.

"Wait another three months Rin" he replied.

"Surely Mas" I replied.

"Be careful of my future faith" I replied.

Still in the room I shed this body, want to rest, Vano still play in the house there is a Mother and Father watching.

This week feels like I'm alive again, my inner self

Finally I fell asleep and woke up from my sleep I saw at 15 pm, quite a long time, the house was quiet, and in the end I slept again.

"Mother wakes up" a child's voice sounded and someone kissed me.

"Vano.. Where are you from?" my question is still closing my eyes, instead of answering my question Vano opened my eyes.

"Yes Vano, what's wrong" I said, and I opened my eyes to see Vano, I hugged my daughter's kiss.

"Sleep away" he said.

"Mother is tired dear" I replied while hugging Vano.

"Where was Vano from?" my many.

"Sama Mbah uti streets do not know to whom, ask Mbah uti Bunda" replied Vano.

Out of the bedroom, I saw Mom cooking.

"So where's Mom from?" my many.

"Well you sleep, Vano I take to the house bude Siti" replied Mother while peeling onions.

"What would you cook?" my many.

"This is Rin there are vegetables in the refrigerator, no doubt" he replied.

"Rinda's just cooking, ma'am" I asked

Finally finished cooking too.

I saw Vano playing around in front along with his peers, Mother was in front watching Vano.

"Vano has a shower?" much

"Already, Mother who has not bathed" he said.

Time was so fast it was 8 pm, I thought there was no message, maybe Arif mas has not come down from the plane I thought, I put Vano to sleep while telling a story, I saw Vano yawn several times and finally slept.

Soon the phone rang, and I picked it up.

"Assalamualaikum" salamku.

"Waalaikumsalam" he replied.

"Mas how's it arrived? my many.

"Yes Rin just want to get out of the airport, waiting for an invitation to mes, you have eaten? said Mas Arif.

"Here you are, oh yes Aunt Linda wants me to sleep at Mas's house, how?" my many.

"Malah seneng me, there are those who accompanied Mom, you are also not far away from work, Vano is not tired on the way" he explained.

"I was given the keys to Auntie's house" I said.

"Mother is rarely at home, meeting people often maybe because you don't want you to wait for her if you want to go home, maybe it's the house key I used to wear that you now carry Rin" he said.

"Mas Arif be careful huh...? I'll tell Rinda later" I said.

"Yes Rin, you are also careful, take care of yourself, do not love your heart to other men" he said.

"No, it's Mas" I said.

After I turned off the phone and I fell asleep.

Suddenly the sound of the phone rattled my sleep I picked up the phone still sleepy.

"Rin I'm already in mess" he said.

"Yes" I answered because I was sleepy.

"You've been sleeping this Rin, continued the rest first, I also want to rest" he said.
