The Single Parent

Visit to Grandma's House

We were still at the beach enjoying time together reminiscing about the past

"Mas.. Let's go to the house, let's not go to night" I said.

"Let's Rin go there, I want to know your family too" he said, we walked together to the car after paying for parking we entered the car to the house

On the way there was the sound of Adhan duhur

"Our mom stopped at the mosque first huh? come pray dhuhur" I said

"Yes, baby, it's in front of the mosque" he said with a smile looking at me

The car entered the courtyard of the mosque, we went down simultaneously to their respective ablution places and performed the dhuhur prayer service, after we finished we got out of the mosque heading to the car continuing the journey to the house about forty minutes from here

Enjoy the view along the way

"Still Rin?" ask me Arif

"A little while, fifteen minutes to go" I said

"In front there is a fork we turn to the right" I said again

"Mas.pardon yes Rinda always troublesome mas Arif" I said.

"Darling, I never bothered you, I was with you last night I was so happy" he said.

"Mas Arif can take a two-month leave how is the story?" much

"Oh that, I rose higher position Rin, yes indeed my position is cut once every two months, even some can take three weeks off but for two months do not take a vacation at all" he explained

"Keep mas Arif get a holiday how many days?" much

"Two weeks Rin, for two weeks I want to be with you" he said

"That's the front gate turn right" I said

mas Arif turned his car around as I was told

"Nah front is a mas whose face is a spacious house" I said

The car stopped in the courtyard of the house Mbah, seen Vano running towards the car, I got out of the car along with the mas Arif, Vano in the car Mas Arif entered the house, inside the house there was an altar, aunts, uncles, mothers and fathers

"Assalamualaikum" said I

"Waalaikumsalam" they answered

"This is the candidate Rinda, his name is Arif" said the father introduced mas Arif

"Where's Rin, how long?" ask mom

"So I took you to the beach first ma'am" replied mas Arif

"Let's sit down first" said Mbah

We sit down to join them

"Rin... The application does not tell me how you are?" ask uncle

"Well, Rinda didn't know how to apply" I said

"Well, I can" asked the aunt

"You made a surprise for Rinda, so don't tell Rinda" said Mas Arif

"Children now yes, have their own way" Mbah said

"If this used to be so clearly upset by everything, now it is important that you get along well, seriously live the household, both face household problems and find a solution" Mbah advised

"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but later on the wedding will definitely tell everyone" said mas Arif

"When is this planned?" ask aunt

"Six months away" replied the father

"The date has also not been determined, see Arif can leave later" said the father explained

"Vano how does it look familiar so well as your candidate Rin, have known for a long time?" ask aunt

"Knownya the same long time mas Arif, Rinda's upperclassman in high school, if the same Vano knew two months ago, continue to meet again yesterday afternoon" I said

"Son Arif isn't here every day?" ask uncle

"I work far away in Papua in the Mimika area" explained mas Arif

"This is another work holiday?" ask uncle

"Yes, only two weeks off will be back there again" said mas Arif

We all headed to the dining table sitting together, eating together every once in a while

After eating me, Mas Arif and Vano went out looking around the house

"Enak yes here is not noisy vehicles" said mas Arif

"Yes, when is the day I spend here with Vano" I said

"Yes well, the same mother was invited to walk there tuh, tired Vano" said Vano while pointing at the direction

"His mother is here or how is Rin?" ask me Arif

"I don't know" I answered

"Will go home, will you?" pinta mas Arif's

"I want to see you keep Rin, I'm still tired of going back and forth to your place, will ya?" mas Arif said

"Ask my parents" I said

Get into the house...

"Mother sleeping here?" much

"Yes it looks like Rin, this is not finished the other rice field, your father will be on holiday tomorrow" said the mother

"Mom, Rinda let me sleep at home, there is a mother at home rather than at home alone Vano" said mas Arif

"But tomorrow home?" ask mom

"Yes go home mom, you guys get a bike in there" I said

"Is this coming home?" mother said

"Yes ma'am" replied Mas Arif

Mom came into the house carrying something

"It's a duck egg for your mother Rif, you can't give anything" she said

Embah walked towards us with the help of his cane

"Where are you going?" ask mbah

"You're coming home" I said

"Simplified..Arsih.. get the rice inside to under Arif go home" said Mbah.

"Do not bother Mbah" said mas Arif

"No hassle, for the souvenirs of the city people, in the city of rice must be bought, if in the village from their own crops" said Mbah

Bi Arsih came out carrying a bag of rice giving to mas Arif

"Thank you bi" said Mas Arif

"Mom, where are you uncle?" much

"After the chicken, duck maybe, I briefly call" said the mother while walking to the side yard of the house, shortly afterwards the mother again followed the same uncle father

"I said I go home first with Rinda and Vano, sorry is always a hassle" said mas Arif while shaking hands

We went out of the house followed by my father, mother, mother, mother, aunt and uncle, mas Arif put rice in the trunk, Vano into the middle seat, I sat in the front seat, mas Arif got into the car and left the house, directly to the house of Arif, Vano looks sleepy

"Rin.. your family seems to get along well and they are what they are with their simplicity" said mas Arif.

"That's how my family is, I often miss the atmosphere in the village" I said

"You sleepy Rin? I keep yawning" asked Arif

"Yes, I'm so sorry" I said

Seeing Rinda sleeping next to him Arif

My midwife is indeed beautiful inside out, especially when sleeping is very adorable I thought

O Allah strengthen my faith in order to keep my lust when close to my prayer Rinda.

The car I stopped at the gas station, Rinda and Vano were still sleeping I got out of the car, after paying the gas station attendant I got back into the car, drove towards the house

Suppose that time I was always by your side there is no way that anything hurt you and cause trauma to happen to you Rin, forgive me my inner being
