so that you have
spare time
Caption Orchid tonight, Personal experience because all this time he thought he did not have free time. The input from the closest people finally awakened him.
Indeed, all this time he was the one who did not take the time to relax for a moment. Gathering with loved ones.

After a long time home always night, finally today arrived home before the sun sank. Mama's still in the backyard with her plants. Accompanied by papa who still uses work uniforms reading the news on the tablet, Dewo just finished bathing fun playing PS.
How many times have I not seen this 'ordinary' scene, the scenery is so incredible now.
Unknowingly sometimes life outside us creates another 'world. I sat next to Papa, separated by a round table with two coffees owned by papa and mama. I accidentally sipped papa's coffee.
"Grand, don't spend papa's coffee. Girls don't be lazy, make your own in the kitchen!" scold papa towards me. I don't know why I miss this simple thing.
"You're home, baby? mama with your aunt has been to how many hotels . You can learn some packages from them. Adjust to the needs yes," mama stopped her activities. Wash your hands and take a rag. He went in for a while and handed me some brochures.
"Yes, Ma was Orchid monitoring the grand opening preparations for tomorrow," I replied as I picked up some brochures. Among these promo sheets, From Citra Nusa hotel that attracted my attention. They use art paper, looks elegant and indeed the package is offered more expensive.
"Grand, Papa always trusts your decisions. At every step you take but your role as a wife makes your responsibilities grow?" papa put down the tablet. Mom joined us.
"Yes, Orchid knows, pa," I replied as I picked up my coffee.
"You can make your own in the kitchen!" this time it was my mother who rebuked.
"Marriage changes the status of itself into two, will increase when you are entrusted with having a baby. When you have become a wife, you have to take on the role of a personal self and a wife. Dividing time between work and home, son."
I looked at papa, Papa's way of speaking is reminiscent of Kenzo's words. He always reminds me of my busy life and Ken's end how many times he insists he will be the head of the household.
"Yes Orchid, your Papa is right. You should have arrangements about household and work. Your household is not healthy if from morning to night you are out of the house to take care of your business," he said in support of papa's opinion.
"Tell me the management of the household, there are portions of each. A wife is the rib of the husband, He is beside the husband. You will support each other. A wife is not the backbone so be wise in managing time to work and take care of the household," papa again sipped coffee.
"True Orchids from now on learn to divide between work and social life. You don't have to keep working from morning to night, there's a time to divide yourself with your surroundings" mama added to every word papa.
I'm sure mom and dad have discussed it before. They look compact, all the words mom and dad as if repeating the sentence Kenzo in a different form.
"Yes ma, This is because of the change in the business status of Orchid into the form of PT and the opening of restaurants, In the future all have been organized. We are still adjusting but if it has been running, then the workload of Orchid has been divided into teams,"
"Papa and mama believe what has been your decision, We will always be behind your support. If you are married, respect and respect your husband. You must support and complement each other,"
I nodded in agreement to every word papa and mama. All the words Kenzo, Natasha, Nadia about my busyness are back across. Do I get so caught off guard that I forget there's nothing else but work.
It was late at night when Papa decided to take a bath, and my mother and I were preparing for dinner.
Simple things and what I saw this afternoon. Someday I won't see each day, this year's Dewo will graduate High School. He wants to go to college out of town. Targeting the best campus in the country.
Papa and Mama will live together, a life that goes from phase to phase
I entered the room after dinner and cleaned myself up. When I saw the banana doll, my heart became sliced.
"You even turned yellow to brownish, I'm sorry your master forgot to wash it," my inner voice spoke to the banana doll.
This banana doll has accompanied my sleep for many years, she is a gift from Adiwara. I just remembered why I didn't throw it away. Funny thing was when the age was younger, the gift of a girlfriend turned out to be a doll.
My eyes looked at the wall clock. It's 20:50. I just realized what mom and dad said. Too focused on my own world. Even while with Kenzo we rarely spend just watching the cinema or to the beach.
"Long time no see, Orchid. A century maybe,"
Natasha's words are back in my ears. I also never met Tania before she got married, Maybe it's true that my activities with the people closest to me are reduced.
Mama's been looking for information for a place to apply while I just realized, When Natasha asked kebaya and MUA application.
Maybe Kenzo's right from now on should learn to divide his time. I threw myself in bed, while taking a cell phone. Just when the phone rings, it shows a call from Kenzo.
"Hello baby,"
"Not sleeping yet, Nggrek?"
"Not yet, I'm just in the room, too,"
"Papa wants to talk, honey," Kenzo's voice spoke. Not long after that hoarse and heavy voice of the man said his greetings and I replied to him.
"How's it going, Om?"
"Continuously recovered, Orchid. Om can already move lightly but for tomorrow sorry can not attend. Because the show took a while. Worrying about not being able to keep up with the whole thing, Congratulations on opening the restaurant.
"Okay om, it's okay. Orchid understood, Thank you for your words. May you recover as soon as you can, Om,"
"Of course, Orchid. My son, Om, was also impatient to get married," there was papa Ken's little laugh when he said that. Not long after, he said goodbye because he wanted to rest.
"Honey, tomorrow I'm with Mama and Riska who are leaving. Raisa wants to go to school,"
"Yes, Ken. Thanks for the support all this time,"
"Together, Orchid. You haven't slept either, go to bed, baby. A lot of rest for tomorrow,"
"Yes Ken, I'm sorry, I've been busy lately when you opened the restaurant. Not like this,"
"You're the first time, I was just as fond of you when we first opened the restaurant. Orchid, I want to do something. Sleep well, yeah,"
"Yes Ken, Met work not his night,"
"Thank you, honey,"
The phone disconnected before I said a beautiful word series. Yes, Kenzo is the unromantic type but he is a sincere guy. His family accepted me with open arms.
I grabbed the bolster this time, got rid of the banana doll because it was dirty. Tomorrow is the first grand opening restaurant. My heart was pounding, after how long it finally got drowsiness to pick me up.
