The Single Parent

Time For Me

In the mes room Arif looks not calm many times calling someone, why my phone is not picked up by Rinda, what's wrong with him? did something happen to her, said the mother, Rinda went home to her parents, did Andi bother her? arif's mind was not calm

After leaving the living room Rinda headed to her room grabbing her cellphone,

"Oh Allah, Mas Arif called ten times, he must be worried about me" I thought.

"Assalamualaikum mas Arif, I'm sorry.." I said.

"Waalaikumsalam Rin what are you? you're okay, right?" ask her with a worried tone

"I didn't know that Andi was here, I met him and my parents" I said

"What...? she there? you take him home with you? mas Arif said in an angry tone

"What do you think I am? I'm a widow, but I have my pride, and I don't know what the story says?" I said as I sobbed

"He doesn't know your house, if you don't invite him, especially now your position is back home" he said in an angry tone

"Mas.that's your mind, I didn't know she was following me home" I said sobbing in tears.

"You cry Rin?" tannya

"What do you think I'm laughing at? mas is too negative thinking to me, but I am not so" I said no less with annoyance

"Rin.oke now you tell me everything, I listen to you" said mas Arif in a soft tone

"Mas was coming home from work Vano was asking to eat fried chicken, finally I went to the food stall and ate there" I began to tell him

"Certain Andi over there?" mas Arif cut my story

"No, I finished eating to go home, the bike I turned on suddenly he was standing next to me, yes that's it, like I don't know how your friend is, you know, I don't mind him saying anything, I went straight home, until I just put Vano in bed, you call me he said there are guests like that" my story

"Keep..kamu meet?" he asked with suspicion

"Well, I don't know him" I replied

"Keep...?" the question is still curious

"Mother's father also met" I said

"They accept Andi's desire to have you?" tannya

"Yes indeed mas Andi talk about marrying me mas, but immediately rejected and kicked out with my father" explained me again

"Huh... father kicked him out, why?" tannya

"Because you don't like it" I said

"Sometimes when you throw him out, how do you react?" ask again

"Yes he just left" I replied

"Rin. thank you for taking care of your heart for me" he said.

"I'm sorry, I'm suspicious and I don't believe you, I love you my bid" he said

"Thank you, love you too my future priest" I said

"Mas..Vano woke up, was it?" say

"Rin.. I want to talk to Vano" he asked.

"Vano, om Arif would like to talk" I said to Vano while giving hp

"Om Arif... When to go home?" ask Vano

"Hehehe was only a week and a half Vano, less two months and a half om home, Vano asked to be brought what? ask me Arif

"Plane tinkering om, om buy ya, om already yes, Vano want to play" he said while hanging up the phone and handing it to me

Morning the weather is so sunny, this is my day off enjoy the time, today I want to pamper my inner self, at home sleep-bed or to the salon huh? I thought, just to the salon, Vano how? do I leave mom alone, mom bother today? I approached my mother in front of her who was watering the plants

"Mom today bothered?" much

"You're going to your grandmother Rin, Vano I'm taking you?" mother said

"It's okay, Rinda went to the salon" I said

"You prepared for Vano's needs first Rin" said the mother

"Old mom's not in the house?" ask from within

"Don't know Rin, maybe the afternoon just came home" said the mother

"Later if Rinda finished, Rinda went straight to the altar, yes ma'am" I said

"It's up to you Rin" said the mother from outside

"Vano.. later join mbah uti to Mbah Uyut ya" I said.

"Asyiikk definitely got the duck eggs home" he said

"Mother coming?" tannya

"Mother has business, later if Vano is still there, mother pick him up there" I said

After preparing the needs of Vano and ready to go all

"Vano don't be fussy." I asked.

Vano nodded, I kissed her cheeks and Vano shook hands kissed my hands, I checked Vano's cradle that was attached to her body, making sure it was safe, father and mother went to the house, after that I left the house after I locked the door to my salon

Arriving at the salon is still quiet, maybe it is still morning

"Hi... long time not here where?" ask the salon owner with his centile

"At home" I replied

"You want this?" tannya

"Well, is it mbak?" answer me

I headed to the small room to remove my headscarf and lay down my body on the small bed in the room, I saw this salon employee preparing the equipment for my facial, I took my phone

"Assalamualaikum" said I

"Waalaikumsalam" he answered

"Tumben called in the morning at this time? not shower yet? said

"Eh. mas Arif who has not taken a shower, has taken my bath, this is in the salon wants a facial" I said

"Tumben Rin" he said

"The holiday mas, Vano joined the mother to the embah, so want to enjoy my time like this" I said

"Definitely more beautiful you are Rin, want to go home to hug you" he said

"Mas.

"Rin.. pingin just go home this me, two and a half months really long yes" he said.

"Mas... later connected yes. this wants my facial" I said while hanging up the phone.

"I'm sorry, ma'am" I said

"It's okay" said his mbak

"Can be continued mbak" I said

An hour more in this salon, finally finished the facial, feel light this face is also fresh, I wear a veil and pay then leave the salon.

Towards the house of Mbah, yes the house of mbah in the village on the edge of bengawan solo, mbah living with his little mother's mother the trees are still many along the way to the house of mbah look cool in the eyes, mbah, the rice fields that began to be planted with rice, the entrance to the house of Mbah looks rainbow in the east, it just rains like it is here but the sun is still shining

At home I saw Vano running to me

"Mother..see Vano bring what?" he said while showing something

"Loh... rabbit boy, let go of Vano pity later if dead how? much

"Bottom back, huh?" vano

"Whose grass is it? in the house of Mbah uti there is rarely grass" I said

"At the grandmother's house, behind the mother's house a lot of grass" he said

"It's a Vano ornamental grass, not a grass for rabbits to eat" I said
