The Single Parent
Goodbye to Jogja



We're heading to the dining table, there waiting for Vera.


"Let's have breakfast all" pinta Vera, I get the side dishes and vegetables for Mas Arif as well as Vano and lastly I take for me.


We had breakfast together in the morning.


"It's delicious to cook, I like it" Vera said.


"What is Ver?" my many.


"Seriously" he replied.


"Thank you" I said.


"Sir... What time is the train ticket?" ask Vera.


"Nine nights" I replied.


"Later Vera delivered" said Vera.


"Aren't you Ver's assignment?" ask Mas Arif.


"Mas' holiday, Mas Deddy's today on guard duty" replied Vera.


"Given the body Ver, your work can be said to be 24 hours" advised Mas Arif.


"Yes, oh yeah how are you healthy?" ask Vera.


"He's healthy" replied Mas Arif.


"Mas.. if the community is back in Papua, Rinda's mother at home only stay also Vano, so there is a nemani mother" Pinta Vera.


"Lohs... Mommy didn't tell? Rinda before getting married to this Mas mu, living at home mother, will work near the same house" explained Mas Arif.


"Iya Ver I live there, mother is always busy with her work" I said.


"Thank God, take care of Mom" said Vera.


"Yes Ver, after all mother is like my own mother" I said.


After breakfast, Vera and I packed up the leftovers and washed the dishes and so on, while Arif and Vano played in front, finished the business in the kitchen I walked towards the living room sitting there with Vera.


In the living room we talked lightly.


"Ver, no show today?" my many.


"There is no mbak, at home only, if there is no Mbak yes quiet like this I am at home" said Vera.


"Yes..how else I have no children, I don't know why I haven't been given a child" Vera began to tell stories and I listened carefully.


"Three times I miscarried, Ma'am, I was desperate" Vera said later.


"Ver.. patience, all must have been arranged by God, as well as the current Mother also waiting for pregnancy, especially this Mas mu seems to want to soon have children" I said.


"Yes, we are waiting for God's miracles" said Vera optimistically.


"Yes Ver rest assured that all must come in time" I said.


"Mbak.. I ask no whats up Mbak, I want stories like this Ma'am" said Vera.


Then I called my number whats up and Vera wrote straight from her phone.


"Yes, it's Mbak, I've whats up" said Vera.


"Mbak. mas Arif same Vano so familiar, like a child and a biological father" said Vera.


"Yes Ver, that's the speciality of Mas Mu, not all men can accept his wife's child, Mas Arif is very receptive to Vano" I said.


"Yes" said Vera.


"Mother.


"What's wrong?" I asked, Vano ran hugging and kissing me then back outside again playing ball with Mas Arif.


Vera saw Vano's behavior as if there was envy, yes I understand it is indeed something that is commonly experienced by women who really want children, patient Vera may Allah soon give you the baby of Aamin, my inner being.


"Bak let's go ahead and see Vano and Mas Arif playing!" take Vera, I follow Vera out of the house and sit on Vera's porch.


When it was eight o'clock at night, we were getting ready for the Tugu station


Vera exited the house to the car, joined us in the car, Mas Arif who drove the car, the car came out of the yard of Vera's house to the paved road down the city of Jogja, Jogja, it was not long before we arrived at Tugu station.


"Mr Rinda, Mas Arif be careful yes, greetings to mother" Vera said as we got out of the car.


"Yes Ver I say, take care of your health" said Mas Arif.


"Yes Mas, Mas Arif too" said Vera.


After Vera died, we entered the station sitting in the waiting room, Vano looked sleepy, Vera drove by her car leaving Tugu station, shortly after the train we boarded arrived, Vera said, rushing us into the train car looking for a seat, after finding our seat number sitting there, Vano looked very sleepy.


"Mother milk" he said, I opened the bag took the milk box and pierced the hole with a straw milk box available then gave it to Vano, a few minutes later the train left the station Tugu, Tugu, leaving the city of Jogja, goodbye jogja, one day I come here again my mind.


"Rin... sleepy?" ask Mas Arif.


"How much" I answered.


"do you think there's something Rin?" ask Mas Arif.


"Vera Mas, wanting to have a child, has had three miscarriages" I replied lying.


Actually I was afraid that I would not get pregnant soon, because Mas Arif seemed to want to have children soon.


"Yes Rin, we just pray that soon be loved by the mother of Vera" said Mas Arif.


"Yes, may we too" I said.


"You relax Rin, don't make your mind, we're married just a few days" said Mas Arif


"Yes" I replied


I saw the time showed at eleven o'clock at night, Vano was asleep his head was leaning on my lap, I saw that Arif was also sleeping, seeing my two men sleeping on my right and left my heart feels at ease, O God, thank you for all the grace You have given this Servant, when my heart is troubled and my life is difficult You send Your Servant named Arif Rahman to accompany my life also Vano in this world, then I lay my head on my husband's shoulders slowly began to close my eyes, I closed my eyes, and I finally fell asleep on my husband's shoulders, sleeping in his arms.


The train stopped at the city station where we were staying.


"Rin...Rin.. get up" said Mas Ardi as he patted my cheek.


"Still sleepy Mas" I said then hugged Mas Arif.


"I stay yes, this has arrived" said mas Arif spoke in my ear, I immediately opened my eyes, it was already up, I went down carrying luggage, I was carrying luggage, mas Arif carried Vano out of the train car and down to the station exit, then Mas Arif sat in the waiting chair.


"Rin.. Did you order transportation online?" pinta Mas Arif's.


"iya Mas" I said then opened the bag to open the online transportation application and ordered it, shortly afterwards connected with the driver, we waited in the waiting room, Vano slept in the lap of Arif mas, he said, I sat next to Arif, a few minutes later the car we ordered arrived.


Mas Arif stood carrying Vano walking towards the car and I followed with a suitcase and bag and then got into the car, the car immediately left the station towards Mas Arif's house.
