The Thorn in the Family

The Thorn in the Family
After Holidays



A warm afternoon, when a tinge of orange color greets the horizon. Delivering a beautiful twilight in the eye. Not felt, three days already Dance and Rama following Risma go on vacation. Now it is time to return home to do the usual activities. They returned from vacation with great joy.


Risma Slalu became a mediator between her parents.


Ms. Rahma and Mr. Alan, prepare to pick up their arrival at the airport in the afternoon


that's. While Ms. Marni prepares a banquet for dinner later in order to welcome the presence of her children and grandchildren who came.


An hour away, Rama and his entourage arrived at the airport. Risma immediately waved her hand when she saw the presence of Ms. Rahma and Mr. Alan.


“Grandma, I'm here” he ran quickly towards his grandmother and grandfather with a smile


that looks sweet on his face.


“Princes, grandma misses altogether you nak” Bu Rahma hugs her grandson fondly. He immediately showered Risma's cheeks with many sweet kisses. While Rama and Dance,


the two joined hands and followed the princess who had already met her grandmother.


“We go straight home yes, Miss Marni is waiting for you at home” said Bu Rahma while hugging her new daughter-in-law briefly. Don't forget Dance, grabbing her in-laws' hands and kissing with reverence.


“Iya, we just go home how Mas?” tanya Tari, with a glance glanced towards Rama, who was currently busy with their luggage.


“Bby too. I'm tired of” too


The whole family headed to the car to get ready to go home. Slowly the wheels of the car began


spinning rubbing against each other with the blackness of the streets. Dance Eyes, staring out the window looking at her beautiful twilight that seemed to smile at her.


Risma sat in the back with her grandparents. While Rama, the man


take over the steering wheel of the car that is in its overlap.


“How is the holiday nak?” mama asked Rahma by gently stroking her grandson's hair. Three


the day of not seeing Risma, made the middle-aged woman feel countless loneliness.


“Seru nek, but darling just for a moment. We have another vacation sometime. Bring everything.


We'll take Grandma Marni too. Can it be Yah?”


Risma tugged at the shirt her father was wearing. He could not wait for Rama's answer


he seemed to be concentrating on his drive.


“Of course can princes. Whenever we vacation with all family”


Throughout the journey Risma did not stop talking. I don't know if there's anything to tell


to his grandmother and grandfather. He also asked a lot of things. About what he saw and seemed foreign in his eyes. Soon he will demand an explanation until his curiosity is answered.


It didn't feel like an hour had passed. Now their car has arrived at the home page of the mother


Marni. Rama immediately parked the car in the front yard. He and the rest of his family came down and went in together. The presence of Risma immediately enlivened the atmosphere of the house of Miss Marni, who some days felt silent without babbling


her granddaughter.


“Sweetest dong nek. I can see the big beach. Beautiful and clean white sand. There is plenty of food and food there. Dad and Mommy bought me a lot of pastries”


“Oh yes I have souvenirs for grandparents” his eyes look towards Bu Rahma,


Miss Marni and Mr. Alan. A moment later he immediately ran to find a suitcase containing souvenirs for his family. He forcibly unpacked the suitcase and took out the contents with origin, in order to take the souvenirs that he had bought in Bali some time ago.


“This is for Rahma's grandmother and Marni's grandmother, this one is for Alan”'s grandfather Risma handed them some clothes and bags. Choose by yourself when shopping there.


“This is great nak”


“Iya dong kan I choose Nek” answered so proudly.


“You chose yourself? you shop in your own market so son?”


“Ya not dong nek, accompanied by Daddy and Bunda”


“Be careful if you are on vacation, do not play alone. Fear will disappear later. Handholds


continue the same Father and Bunda” hiss Bu Marni gives a warning. He understands very well if Risma is the type of child who cannot stay still.


“Just calm Grandma, I won't be lost. Precisely Father and Mother who often lost at night”


“Hah! Lost how?” now Ms. Rahma looked into the eyes of the granddaughter waiting for a


explanations. Rama and Tari looked at each other in silence. Can not be denied their body temperature is hot cold to hear the babbling Risma.


“Iya grandma, Daddy and Mommy if the night likes to disappear from bed. At first we


sleep three, I'm in the middle. But when I woke up I did not find their presence there”, he replied Risma so casually.


Rama and Tari could only drown and scratch his head which did not itch. Temporal


Rahma looked at her son and daughter-in-law in turn. Rama and Dance,


indeed deliberately booked a hotel room with a connecting room type in order to achieve their goals without interference from anyone including their children. Truly at that time Dance, just wanted to drown her face.


“Yes we have eaten first, surely you guys have been hungry” bu Marni as the host immediately let all the people who were there to eat together that night.


A simple dinner full of love for two complete families. There are children, daughters-in-law, grandchildren and besan who also enliven the atmosphere. Throughout dinner Risma was still fun to tell about everything she went through there. Including how Rama and Tari treat it when on the beach.


Ms. Marni and Ms. Rahma could only shake her head. In their hearts speak “you shouldn't have to come along. Kasian is also your parents who want to knit the rope love”


Time shows at nine o'clock. Risma looked a few times yawned, it seemed like she was very exhausted after a vacation. Even several times his eyes seemed to close as if he was holding back sleepiness. Ms. Rahma and Mr. Alan who realized it immediately say goodbye to go home.


Before saying goodbye to go home. Ms. Rahma, take something in her bag. He slipped the object while Dari was shaking hands kissing his hands.


“Try in check first son. Who knows who is already in there” Bu Rahma laughed amusedly and quickly headed into his car.


While Dari, feeling nervous and alert, began to see the small object


slip it in his hand.
