"Assalamualaik." Fabian said his greetings on the doorstep of a fairly large and magnificent house in a housing located quite far from the center of Yogyakarta. By not forgetting to knock on the door.
The house was the residence of Khayyara's grandmother whose address had been sent to Fabian by Papa Danu a while ago.
"Walaikumsalam.." a sahutan from inside the house and followed by the sound of the door being opened from inside.
"grandmother..." Fabian with a sparkling smile as he looked at Khayyara's grandmother who had opened the door for him.
Although faint yet Fabian still remembered the old face in front of him. Because as a child Fabian was quite close to him.
The grandmother was silent for a moment with a frown. Then developing a smile on his vulnerable face, it seemed like he had realized who the boy standing in front of him was.
"Abi ya?!"
Fabian nodded.
"Yes. Grandma still remembers Abi..."
Grandma Khayyara nodded with a friendly smile.
Fabian then grabbed Khayyara's grandmother's right hand and kissed the back of the old hand as a salute. Fabian used to do it when he met Khayyara's grandmother. Even the grandmothers thought Fabian was like her own granddaughter.
"Only?" Grandma Khayyara with her head moving looks looking for.
"The aura is again les nek so Abi came here alone." explains Fabian because he knew what Khayyara's grandmother meant. He must be looking for the whereabouts of his grandson, Khey.
"Oh so. Let's go in first." Grandma led Fabian's hand into the house.
"Sit down first."
Fabian also according.
"Actually grandma had forgotten your face le, but because papa Ara had told you that you wanted to come here, grandma just guessed it. But your grandmother's face still remembers her a little. Just now so be more handsome le..."
"Ah grandma can. Abi is a grubby guy must be handsome is not possible if Abi is beautiful." Fabian was joking.
"You're Bi. still like guyon."
"Let ageless grandma."
"You could have." Grandma Khayyara with a smile.
Abi was Khey's nickname for Fabian when she was a child, and it looks like Khey's grandmother is still used to the call.
Khayyara's grandmother learned that Abi was married to her middle granddaughter a few months ago.
Although at that time Khey's grandmother was not present at their sudden wedding but the grandmother had been told by papa Danu with details of how the story of Fabian and Ara until the two had to get married despite still sitting in school.
"What do you drink? let grandma get it first."
"Grandma don't bother bother, let Abi take it alone." refused Fabian smooth.
"Grandmother didn't bother, Iha wong to the kitchen was just a few steps away. Grandma made warm tea ya.." grandma Khey by moving from her seat.
"All right, grandma." Fabian finally resigned to the wishes of Khayyara's grandmother.
After the death of Khayyara's grandmother, Fabian rubbed his body on the back of the sofa to release his fatigue after solid activity at his school.
Scanning a spacious yet simple living room with both eyes. Fabian sharpened his eyes when he found a large family photo of Grandma Khey attached to the living room wall. The framed family photo was so large that Fabian did not need to move from his seat.
There are pictures of Khey's grandparents and dad Danu and mom Maira holding a little girl. It must be Septi, their youngest son. There is also a boy who at that time may still be in Elementary School or maybe Junior High, he is the older brother of Khey who is currently abroad to continue his education.
Fabian extended the corner of his lips when he found a picture of a little girl with two shaggy hair smiling with toothless teeth on the front, between them. The little girl was Khey the wife of barbarian Fabian.
Fabian's brain moved backwards as if replaying the story of his childhood full of petty quarrels with the little girl bar bar.
Fabian really did not expect if at that time the words of little Khey who wanted him to be his life companion would really happen. Although until now Khey has not realized who the real figure of Fabian.
Fabian smiled again when he remembered the funny story of his childhood with Khey bar bar without breaking his eyes from the picture frame that was plastered on the wall of the living room. Until Fabian did not realize that Khayyara's grandmother was sitting in front of him again.
"Why smile at Bi's own smile?" khayyara's grandmother asked, leaving Fabian shocked.
"Grandmother..make Abi shocked." Fabian smiled clumsyly.
"Consider childhood..." Khayyara's grandmother tried to guess because when she returned, she found Fabian staring straight at the family picture frame attached to the wall of the living room.
Even after he had sat long enough before Fabian, his son-in-law's granddaughter was unaware of his arrival.
"Yes. little Grandma..." Fabian rubbed the nape of his neck a little embarrassed by being caught by Khey's grandmother.
"Many are not papa." Grandma Khey looks smiling seductively to Fabian.
"Udah ah Nek don't tempt Abi. Shame on me."
Grandma Khey chuckled small.
"Grandmother didn't know you were finally getting a match."
"Dear as well as grandma..." Fabian still with a shy smile.
"If grandma remembers when you were little, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Grandma remembered how much you hated the same mischievous Ara's behavior as well. Every day does not stop following you anywhere, even holding your hands tightly does not want to go away like her husband. You must have been really upset at that." Grandma Khayyara with a little laugh, back in time.
"That used to be granny, now Abi's not upset yet." Now everything has turned around grandma, abi who likes ignorant and ngekori granddaughter grandmother.
"Oh yeah how's your father? They're all healthy, right?"
"Alhamdulillah grandma, healthy."
"Alhamdulillah then. Oh yes Septinya still out to his friend's house. He said for a minute." Khey's grandmother recalled that Fabian's arrival here was to take her little granddaughter shopping downtown. Papa Danu, his son had told him when he contacted him on the phone.
"At least come home, the house is not far away."
"No papa really, Abi didn't go out."
"If so drink the tea first, this is also taste the cake. Old-fashioned cake, make this grandma yourself." Khey's grandmother offered Fabian warm tea.
Fabian also grabbed a warm tea glass from the grandmother's hand. "Grandmother doesn't have to bother with this cake."
"First time to meet Bi after so long, grandma must give a good impression. Next yes do not blame grandma if grandma later tell you to work hard." Grandma with a chuckle.
"Grandma still likes guyon." Fabian then sipped his warm tea.
Indeed, Khey's grandmother had always liked to joke and seemed ignorant as well, maybe he was the one who lowered the nature to little Khey.
"Assynoltom... Iam coming..." A typical teenage splashing sound is heard from outside the house accompanied by the sound of footsteps entering the house.
"That must be Septi." Grandma Khey with a glance at the entrance.
Fabian followed the grandmother's gaze, turning towards the entrance of the house.
Hek.
Fabian was glued when his net discovered the figure of a girl who was very similar to Khey's barbarian wife.
