The Single Parent

Always Following

One afternoon in daycare, when Vano picked up

"Vano after this go home to Mbah uti huh?" say

"Horeeeee met Mbah uti, Vano was also kangen" he said

"Let's go home" she said again

"Mom Via, Miss Ana, go home first huh? thanks for taking care of Vano" my pamit

Today I went home to my parents' house after four days at Aunt Linda's house, maybe later if I get married with Arif like this is my life

"Vano eat first yes after this, Vano want to eat what?" much

"Bunda fried chicken.kayak upin ipin" he said.

"Okay, we're going to the default stall, huh?" answer me

The way to the stall lalapan, until there I parked my bike on the side of the road, I entered the tent stall that had a place to sit down, order food and sit down lesehan

"Vano... So the sweet child sits still huh?" I said, because Vano was an active child so worried about making other visitors uncomfortable, not long after the stall guard came to bring my order

I feed Vano, I eat too

"His son Vano?" say

"Yes mother" he said as he chewed the food

After I finished eating, I paid for my food and left the stall to go to my parents' house, just stopped the bike, there was Andi mas near my bike hmmm actually this guy like paparazzi, he said, no boredom bothers me, I thought

"Rin wait" he said

"What else is it? I don't have much time, it's afternoon pity my son" I said

"I'm coming home, I want to see your parents" he said

"I'm sorry, I can't, my parents are not feeling well can't be bothered" I said

"It just so happens that I can look up" he said again

Astaghfirullah, there is such a person in my mind

"Sorry, my parents will think no and hurt when I meet you, because I've been told by other men, please don't bother me anymore and sorry" I said while steadying my bike

"Rin. wait" he said, but I didn't bully him, I headed straight for the highway to my house, many times I looked back at the rear view mirror worried he was following me.

Stopping at the retail store A*****, Vano is still sleeping in my sling, I look right left it seems to be safe from him, he said, I went into the store to buy something I needed after getting what I needed I paid to the cashier and got out of the store, still feeling insecure I still look around before riding a motorcycle, because I was worried about being followed by him and knowing my home, O God. when can I calm down like this my inner, inner self, after feeling safe I rode a motorcycle to my parents' house.

It was at my parents' house

" Assalamualaikum, Vano returns home" I shouted

"Waalaikum salam, uh my grandson came home, missed four days in Rin's lonely house" said the mother

"So long ago mom I put Vano to bed" I asked as I stepped into the room, ah.

"Rinda.

"Who sir?" say

"Lacking to know Rin, man said he was your friend" replied the father

another greeting? you don't seem to know him, is he possible? o Allah. May not he be my inner.

"Yes, sir, a moment" I said

Heading into the living room, deg.

"You know, my house" I said

"I follow you, your parents are so healthy" he said

"Can you not be so angry" he said

"I'm like this, because of your attitude" I said sniffly

When I was talking to Andi's mas, my mother came with drinks and cakes

"Mom, may I marry Arinda" said mas Andi

this guy is talking like this to my mind

"We've known him for a long time" he said again

"Son... Anyone who wants to marry Arinda, of course, both parents will approve the choice of children but.

"Sir.. Can you come here?" call mom

"She was a moment ma'am" said the father from inside the house as he walked towards the living room

"What's wrong mom?" my father said when he met us in the living room

"Sir... This friend Arinda came to marry Arinda, what do you think? mother said

in my heart may you refuse, I continue to look at your face hoping you understand I do not want my mind

Long time father was silent to look at me also mas Andi

"Where do you work?" ask dad

"I am in the Government sir, I pns" he replied

"Oh pns" said the father

"I can make Arinda happy sir" he said again

"What kind of happiness?" ask dad

I just kept silent to hear their conversation as well as with mother, heard the phone from the room repeatedly ringing, later I just call back who called my inner, inner call, hope the father refuses and he leaves this inner house of mine

"I can be happy with the material, Arinda asked for anything I would give" he replied

"Son, I educate children not to be materialistic, so happiness is not measured by matter, you may have seen people whose ordinary lives are almost lacking to eat but they can still smile happily, there are also people who have enough wealth and have a lot of money but no happy smiles" says

"And.. I apologize, not refuse or how? This Rinda already belongs to people, so it cannot be careless to accept others" said the father again

"So even though you are hard-pushed nor can you, love cannot be forced but love grows from each other's hearts" said the father, holding his chest

"So please leave this house, Arinda also wants to rest" said the father while inviting mas Andi out of the house with his hand gestures

in my heart, thank you

Mas Andi left the house with a grim face, I thought what I cared about, you think your treasure can buy me

"Rinda sit down first" asked the father

"Yes sir" I said as I sat in the living room with my mother

"Who was that? you've known you for a long time? are you okay, you're rejecting him?" ask dad

"Father.rinda even thank you very much my father rejected him, yes it was my upperclassman, one generation of the same mas Arif sir, from the first time to pursue Rinda, yes it was my upperclassman, I used to fight with Arif because of his disrespectful attitude" I said

"Where did you meet him?" ask dad

"Not accidentally when eating with Vano, Rinda met, she followed me from far away all the movements of Rinda, had also met already Rinda was angry sir, Rinda did not know she followed Rinda until home" obviously I went to the father

"No one like that, Rin, maybe he's the son of a rich man, keeps on loving you, so he thinks love can be bought with his property" said the mother

"Yes maybe so he thought, Rinda to the room first, from earlier there was a phone call in worried that something important" said as I passed to the room
