There is No Need for Love

S2: The Story of the Son of Man

By noon, the group had split in two, which men were on the terrace still with various stories, while women were now in the kitchen. No more shopping, because Nadia had brought the package earlier, the contents were preparation for lunch, now they just process it.

Nadia just sat down, no one allowed Nadia to hold anything, it was because her stomach was just waiting for the day, before long Risda was also asked to better get away, because the question is more than the job he holds.

Risda smiled wryly and chose to sit next to Nadia, the two again engaged in a long conversation, especially about Nadia's pregnancy. There is a story indeed about this, because the marriage age of Nadia and Usman has almost reached three years later Nadia was pregnant, this also makes Risda rather calm, because she was also two years married, because she was also two years, but not pregnant either.

But before long, Risda's attention was now sucked into Faridha, how his hands were so dexterous to do everything, he also handled the gulai, took care of the others, up to not two hours, until, everything was neatly arranged at the dining table. Risda grew salute and liked Faridha, her ability in the kitchen was almost ten times that of Risda, it was amazing.

Mila who came out called the others to lunch, although Jamil, Asrul, Farhan and Usman were somewhat astonished and the same looking at the clock, but all the same standing, according to Jamil main, the same, the lunch hour was too fast, the dzuhur had not been, but because it had been called, finally everything entered as well.

"Dad hasn't come back yet ?". Risda asked while preparing Asrul's food.

Jamil laughed a little. "Don't don't let your father's been five times overflowing him".

Risda just smile. "Where is Cake ?".

"To his friend's place".

Not only Risda, but others also looked surprised and nodding head to hear Jamil's story that the Mayor is currently a little friend of Haris, he since morning to his office, until now did not go home too, too, their story must have been long somewhere. Natalia who looked the most serious heard her uncle's story.

"I mean Uncle, Bang Arifuddin Pohan ?".

Jamil looked at Natalia for a moment. "Lia knows ?".

Natalia grabbed her phone, showed me a photo of Udin's WA profile. "This is Uncle ?".

Jamil stared for a moment and nodded his head. "Yes, Lia knows him ?".

Natalia nods her head. "Bang Arif used to call Mama often, if they were telephonants, Mama always cried, remember Bang Haris".

Jamil just smile. "Haris is the same Udin now. They must have had lunch, no matter where they ate, come on, eat .. eat".

Hearing this, everything became a big smile and started his lunch, Nadia continued to look at Risda and Faridha who continued to serve Asrul and Farhan. Nadia shook her head, because all this time she had never done it, Usman always took it himself, eating even often unaccompanied.

Just after everything was done eating the sound of the car stopping, Risda immediately stood up, he was sure it was his father. And it's true, Haris who was just greeted by Risda, holding his father's hand entering the house, Haris did come to the dining room, but did not eat, was full.

“Eh, Far. When is nyampe ?”.

Farhan immediately stood up, Faridha also stood up after seeing Farhan's code. “Sampe this morning Uncle, this ..”. Farhan smiled widely.

“Faridha ?”. Haris immediately guessed.

Faridha smiles shyly, greets and kisses Haris' hand. Followed by Usman and Nadia. Haris looked a big smile, there was a high sense of pleasure to grab Haris, he then chose to sit, even though he still did not take food.

“You're Meeta's sister's son who's here right?”.

Usman nods his head. “Iya Uncle, I'm Usman. This is my wife Nadia”.

Haris nodded his head. “Live here where is Man ?”.

“I'm in Parombunan Uncle”.

“Yang directions to GOR yes ?”.

Usman nods his head. “Iya Uncle”.

“Uncle has also been there as a child, the road is still all land, there was no GOR at that time”. Haris.

The conversation then extends, but it seems clear, Haris does not know Usman's father, they even just moved to this city when Usman was almost three years old, long after Haris left this city.

“We walk the road where Yah ?”. Risda's switching topics.

Haris nodded his head. “Dad already talked with friends, at two o'clock we will go to Poncan Island, ready to be ready. What time is it ?”.

Asrul looked at the clock in his hand. “New half one Yah”.

Haris nodded his head again. “Jam two we've left. We're boarding the hotel, using their facilities. Usman, Nadia, Follow ?”.

Usman glanced at Nadia for a moment. “You want to come with Uncle, but ..”.

Again Haris nodded his head. “Iya also does, but is it okay in this stay Man ?”.

Usman. “No what is Uncle”.

Now that everyone is still gathered in the dining room, using the dining table as a gathering place, the departure plan to Poncan Island is still included long ago, he said, so there is still plenty of time to talk about various topics that are born just like that.

“Kak Nadia Acehnese right Kak ?”.

Nadia smiled at Farhan for a moment. “Iya Dek, Brother's parents are also still there, other brothers also all live there, only brother who lives here, after being with your brother”.

“Sibolga Aceh, how did you meet first huh Kak ?”.

Nadia just a smile, Usman who immediately conveyed his story, how he first met Nadia, they collided at a party in Barus, Nadia and Usman clothes are just as dirty to be goulash, they were acquaintances there, exchanged numbers and finally so.

Usman laughed. “When we met Bang Asrul yesterday, we are still not official, Nadia came here just stop, actually in Barus, there is a family who died. We dated her long distance. Farhan further again right ?”.

Farhan laughed. “Iya also Bang. Similar similar to that, the same as starting from the collision, but Farhan different lho Bang, if Farhan crashed himself”.

Everyone laughed, so Faridha smiled shyly, so remembered when they first met, Faridha who had been looking down from the bathroom almost hit by the building material that was being dismantled, fortunately Farhan quickly came and helped him.

The turn of Asrul all also laughed, three years together in the interior of Borneo made both have feelings in their hearts, had a long time not met after returning from the interior, so met, so met, they agreed to build a home.

"Is the story Cinlok Bang ?". Nadia kept laughing.

Asrul nods his head. "Yes, so did Nad. But your brother used to sell expensive, suck also new brother succeeded, even already returned to Jakarta first".

Haris who from earlier only listened so interested in one thing. “Rul ..”.

Asrul. “Iya well ?”.

Haris laughed first. “Dad even became interested, how did Agung and Meeta meet, it was also a surprise right?, Agung who from childhood in Jakarta met Meeta who had been small in Padang Sidimpuan, and was also a child, there is a distance of thousands of kilometers, how do they find it ?”.

It turned out that not only Haris, Risda and Faridha also showed serious faces, Risda had never even thought about all this time, how her father and mother-in-law could unite with such a long distance. Of course there must be a long story in it, Risda so interested to know it.

Asrul chuckled. “It started when Papa plans to open SPBU in Lubuk Pakam Yah, Papa made an observation first, at that time Mama was still in college, was in practice, sort of apprenticeship so. Papa is sick, because there is no brother, the doctor asked Mama to accompany Papa while in hospital”.

Haris smile. “So it's got”.

Asrul laughed. “Si Papa has a lot of strategies, has been cured but still to the hospital, want to see Mama in fact, until Papa gets the contact number of Mama Baru Papa came home, even his SPBU did not become”.

Since then, Agung intensely contacted Meeta who also always welcomed communication well, knowing Meeta had finished college, Agung immediately brought his father and mother to Padangsidimpuan and did a proposal. Meeta and her family are shocked, especially Meeta is just a Bachelor of Medicine, has not yet reached the doctor profession.

But Grandpa Asrul assures Meeta that he will continue all his dreams in Jakarta, even Grandpa promises to build a special clinic for Meeta. So that all agreed, it did not take long, only two months after that, Agung and family appeared again in Padang Sidimpuan for marriage agreement.

"So not SPBU in Padang Sidimpuan Rul ?".

Asrul glanced at Haris for a moment, shaking his head. "Not Dad, it was even there when Papa and Mama were married long enough. When Grandpa Sidimpuan retired, Papa made the SPBU so that grandfather had a busy life, all of it was for grandfather. After Grandpa died, it was handled by the Big Bone".

Haris and the others nodded their heads, Jamil, Mila and Lena who looked quite gawky, only to find out that the granddaughter-in-law came from a super-rich family, it's appropriate that Asrul with easy story about the construction of this house, in the beginning Jamil was a bit restless, afraid his grandson's savings drained because of it, but now it became so calm, sure everything was no obstacle.

Mila and Lena also changed their minds, at the beginning they also had the same feeling, even fearing that there was also, fearing that the development plan could damage the economy of their granddaughter, but at this moment the two seemed relieved with a perfectly fluffy smile, no more hesitation that had disturbed the minds of the two since this morning.

“Kakek is serious, he sent mama to get a doctor profession, even mama continued to get a specialist degree. But, grandfather did not have time to see it, he died when mama was a specialist lecture, only grandmother who had, and not for long. Just three months after the inauguration of the clinic, grandma also passed away”. Terang Asrul continued his story.

Risda fixed her seat. “So Bang, the distance between Grandpa and Grandma died just a few months Bang ?”.

Asrul nods his head. “Only eight months to be exact, they turned out to be fast, so that brother did not know and met with if with grandpa, if grandma had, grandma died when brother still banyi”.

"Bang Hospital ?".

Asrul had a big smile, his thumbs up. "It was purely Mama's labor, the construction of the hospital was not at all Papa's interference, all purely the result of mama's own hard work, only in Semarang it was Papa's intervention as well, it was Papa's, the land is Grandpa's land".

"Not Surabaya ?".

Asrul. "The Surabaya hospital had a grandmother, a grandmother who managed it first"

Risda nodded her head, only to know that all was really hard work of her mother-in-law, Faridha also shook her head, salute and increasingly respect for her future mother-in-law, it turns out that not only the father-in-law, but his Bou is also a hard worker, even able to establish a hospital of that size, Faridha certainly knows, because it has set foot into the hospital.

Asrul continued the story, at the beginning of Meeta had lost the spirit to build a hospital and chose to stay in the clinic, it was because Asrul instead chose to study in education, Meeta had down, it was down, because his dream to build a hospital is not just for him, but for his son.

But, the spirit was raised again when Mutia was accepted into medicine, Meeta again consent to build a hospital, the spirit was increased many times, when Reni also attended college in medicine, but Meeta still has a wedge, always missing a boy as her successor.

"That's why, Mama was super excited when Farhan also followed Mutia and Reni's footsteps. Mama was even revived, Asrul saw that, his joy over Farhan was hundreds of times that of Mutia and Reni. Don't know why". Obviously Asrul is long.

Haris laughed a little. "Meeta is still Mandailing Rul's man".

Asrul slightly frowned. "Why is it Dad ?".

Haris shook her head a little. "Batak people in general are so Rul, not just Mandailing, Batak people are very serious in terms of bloodline, then the boys remain a priority, the Batak people are still a priority, because of the sons the offspring continues, the woman will go to her father-in-law's family".

Asrul shook his head, if indeed to continue the clan, what clan?, after all his father is a Banten, they do not have a clan like Mandailing people like his mother, but Asrul felt, they did not have a clan like Mandailing people like his mother, what his mother concluded was certainly because of the thing he thought was big, not something else that compares.

Asrul chuckled a little too. "Papa will probably be a lot closer to Mandailing Yah, his son-in-law seems not far from Mandailing".

Haris laughed a little. "Yes, yeah, I just realized Dad".

Asrul shook his head small. "Risda Nasution, Faridha Lubis, her boyfriend Reni is also Pulungan Well, if all so, it's been more 50% right?, either Mutia, Asrul has never seen her dating or anything like that, if Ariana has not, of course, still Junior High, little boy". Asrul laughed again, still shaking his head.

"Pulungan?, Reni Pulungan's girlfriend ?". Haris even changed the way she sat.

Asrul nods his head. "Yes, why ?".

Haris shook his head. How could he forget about the surname, that included the one thing that made it seamless together with Natalia, which made it easy to get into Natalia's life, even had a role as a husband for his own biological sister, to bring Risda to their lives.

All because his mother Indah almarhumah, Indah not only added Haris alone in front of his name, even changed the Haris clan into a clan that is in Wak Jainal. Dozens of years also Haris bear the surname, only after the recipe that failed completely Haris remove the surname.

"But, if you think, Mama's family is also married to various regions, it's just the Big Bone who married fellow Sidimpuan". Farhan who spoke while poking Usman.

Usman so chuckled, considering all, it's true, all the wives of his father's family Fadli came from various districts/cities, there are even different provinces, if the Bouny, if the, asrul's mother was different island of course.

"Yes, Far. Wak Rohim, Bones Besarmu only married with the Sidimpuan, father with the Nias People, Uda Fauzan with the South Labuhanbatu People, Uda Patience with the Rao People, West Pasaman".

Asrul slightly frowned. "Not Nantulang Sibolga Sibolga people here Man, as far as Abang knows so".

Usman nods his head. "Yes the Bang, Mother has been born here, even Grandpa was born here, but however the mother is of Nias descent, the mother surnamed Zalukhu, until whenever people will say so, and mom will be happy to admit it too, even if there's no family there".

Haris gave his thumbs up. "History will never change Man. We should be proud of our history, even though we may be far from the origin of that history, but whatever it is, there is an inner bond that will never be replaced".

Everything is the same nod of the head, what Haris said is true, where and however we are now, the history of our descendants cannot be strung from every breath we take, on any island we live, he said, it's just the domicile, only the identity listed on the ID card, of course there is a story that accompanies us, it's a part of life that we can not abandon, whatever the reason.

Haris continued to shake his head, the kind of romance is indeed a human child, there are funny things, there are encouraging things and many other possible feelings, how two people are united in various ways, he said, as the term says, acid in the mountain of salt at sea, in the cauldron meet you.

Haris sighs, the romance is beautiful just at the beginning, it turns out Haris is trapped in a story that should not exist, entangled in the wrong romance. But, now there is Risda who was born from the wrong story, at least Risda is now living his romance, all is right, nothing is wrong.

Haris never thought of pursuing a happy romance after what he went through with Natalia. What is now is how to guarantee the romance of his daughter Risda goes well, perfectly and happily, because that is currently the main source of happiness Haris.

Natalia looked smiling while looking at Risda and Asrul, Natalia also had the same thoughts as Haris. Natalia doesn't need a romance at all, there's not a single door in her life that's open to it. Now, his whole heart and life are for Risda, nothing left for the others.
