The Single Parent
Visiting Father Mother



This morning we were getting ready to go to my parents' house, yes, we have not been there for a long time, even my mother who went home to take care of me for a week when I finished undergoing curettage surgery, mas Arif got into the car to heat the car engine, Vano as usual playing around running around, I still help my mother-in-law cook in the kitchen


"Rin... later stay is not there?" ask mommy to me while cutting carrot vegetables


"It looks like yes ma'am, Rinda has prepared for tomorrow's work and Vano school" I said as I peeled the shallots and garlic


"Greetings to your parents Rin" said the mother


"God willing, ma'am" I said, then I picked up the seasoning


finished cooking I prepared at the dinner table, and washed some containers


"Rin.. I went upstairs first" said the mother then walked up the stairs.


After that I went into the room intending to take a shower, mas Arif was already in the bedroom


"Where are you going Rin?' ask me Arif


"Wanna take a shower?' answer me


"I'm coming" he said


"No way, a little like last night" I said and immediately left the Arif mas to the bathroom did not forget to lock the door


"Rin...Rin.." cried Arif from the outside"


"Why the hell mas, Rinda is still bathing this loh, gig out" I said


"The shower" replied Arif


"Emang why?" I asked while pouring water from the dipper into my body


"You peed" replied Mas Arif


"The reason is this mas, the bathroom near the kitchen is also there, if you don't want to just hold it until I get out" I said,


After finishing the bath, I opened the bathroom door, and I saw Arif relaxing lying on the bed playing games, I threw a pillow over his head


"Emang has always liked to play people, people bathe in disturbing only, it turns out that here is fun to play games" I said exasperatedly


"Hahahaha, it's good to have a wife, let alone see your date the more I fall in love" he said


"Gombal dirususin, if every day I mengambuk and ranting how? want to listen and see what I look like?" I asked while sprinkling powder on my face


"Yes, don't, if you're just having sex hehehe" said mas Arif and laughed teasingly, then put his cellphone over me and hugged kissing me from behind


"Love you my wife, my son" he whispered


then passed leaving me in the room, I just shook my head looking at my husband's behavior, yes, long time we knew but with his behavior like that our relationship never felt bored, we never felt bored, there is only deep longing in the distant


I came out of the room with a big bag with my work tomorrow and Vano's school


"Mas.. her bag please put it in the trunk" I asked my husband when I met him in the living room.


"I want to go on my own to Mom" I said


"Let's go upstairs together then, Vano. turn off the tv, let's go to Mbah uti, but Vano pemit same grandma first" said mas Arif.


Then the three of us went up the stairs, until in front of the door of the mother's room, I knocked on the door.tok.tok.


"Mom, Arif wants to go to Rinda's parents' house, it seems like overnight there, Arif's car takes it" said mas Arif pamit to his mother, then shake hands, I followed and followed by Vano


"Be careful." mother's message


"Yes ma'am" I replied, then we left my mother


"Oh yes.don't forget the door of the house and the gate in the lock yes" said mother reminded us.


"Yes ma'am" replied Mas Arif, and down the stairs out of the house, I locked the door and the gate, mas Arif had gone out first with Vano while carrying my bag earlier.


The car left the mother-in-law's house, down the city road and then the provincial road, yes, this morning the sky was so blue, the sign of this city is pollution-free, yes the small town that I always miss.


"Mas, stop by the fruit shop first yes later to make souvenirs by my parents" I said


"Yes" I replied, then the car stopped at the fruit stand, I got out of the car and I picked some fruit and paid for it then got back into the car


"Have Rin... nothing less?" tanya mas Arif reminded


"It looks like it's a mas" I replied, then Mas Arif drove the car to my house


Shortly after we reached my mother's house, there was a mother in front of the house, Vano immediately got out of the car after the car door I opened and ran to my mother and then in my mother's car


"Vano.. getting heavier, yes, soon you can not carry you" said mother, I and mas Arif greet mother and we enter the house.


"Lohs... Ris when to go home?' I asked when I saw Faris in the living room


"Every night, actually want to go to the house after this, but mbak already here" said Faris


"Fita's not coming?" much


"No, Fita has a work event out of town" Faris explained


"Loh mas Arif when will he come home?" ask Faris to Mas Arif


"A week ago Rif" said mas Arif


"Bapa where's mom?' much


"Your father was out with his friends biking the wind" said the mother


"Wih... very nice father, Rinda also wants to be different" I said.


"Mas... Come on sometime we ride a wind bike" take me to mas Arif.


"There was no Rin's bike at home" said Mas Arif


"Mas.I want to buy a bike if that's the case, my money" I said


"it's up to you Rin" said mas Arif


Soon after, he came from Gowes with his friends


"My grandson has come" said the father when he saw Vano and carried him


"It's been a long time?" ask my father


"Lumayan sir, where have you been?" much


"Just around here Rin" replied the father


"Will you stay here?" ask dad


"God willing, sir" I replied


"Faris is home too, you've met, where's your husband, how come there's only a car ahead?" ask dad


"In the game with Faris" I said, you entered the house and I also entered the house we gathered in the family room


At this time in the family room all complete children of my parents increased grandchildren and daughter-in-law, togetherness that is always in the longing of every family, he said, you can meet jokingly on the sidelines of each other's activities, love my family


"Ris... When did you marry Fita?" ask mom


"You don't know, Faris isn't ready yet" Faris replied


"You're Faris, the son of the man you hung up hope, you also have work, Fita also work, so what are you not ready for? you love not the same Fita?" my nagging to my sister


"Yes love is my mother, but it looks like Faris is still hesitant to step into marriage, still enjoying dating" said Faris


"You are the kebangeten Ris, courtship is a lot of Satanic whispers, if any marriage you do will get a reward, you pray Istikharoh, ask God for guidance on your relationship with Fita, Fita, pity also the time wasted waiting for you who you do not marry" my scorn


"Already Rin, do not be angry with your sister, maybe not ready to give up her bachelor, still want to be free, we can not also force people who are not ready" said mas Arif


"Important Ris, you have to keep Fita, don't mess around" advised the mother


"Let's have lunch, what did you cook? already hungry father ma'am" said the father later, we together walked to the dining room.we ate together enjoying the delicious mother's cooking.
