The party is over. The whole family has returned home leaving a newlywed couple staying at the hotel to enjoy a weekly evening that will be the first night for Cia and Damar.
With the exception of the Anjar and Ratih pairs. They did not return to Krishna's house but to the hotel that had been booked by Panji as a wedding gift. No responsibility, booking two days and two nights. Panji and Padma who escorted his parents to the hotel which is located overlooking the sea view of Ancol.
"Panji just nganter until the lobby. Happy holiday Daddy, Mommy. Will be picked up again Monday." The pennant smiled obliquely. Hugged both of his parents. Deliberately not saying honeymoon because there is Padma. I fear asking what it means.
"Dad's happy holiday, Mother." Padma did not miss hugging Father Anjar and Mother Ratih. A happy hue flashed across his face.
"Nji, be careful. Don't speed!" Message Bunda Ratih after Panji and Padma get back in the car. He answered the banner with a nod and a smile.
The hotel staff arrived at the front door. Anjar opened the door to the suite's classroom. Once the lights are on, a romantic atmosphere appears in front of the eyes.
"God. Kayak room pennant for newlyweds." Train head bobbles accompanied by shame. The carpet that passed was studded with rose petals. Two swans made of towels are on the bed with the heads fused together to form the symbol 'love'. On the dining table there are fruits and mini blackforest reads 'Happy Wedding Father & Mother'.
Anjar chuckles. "Maybe the intention let us be nostalgic with the honeymoon period first."
Ratih turned his shy face so as not to be obvious by Anjar. Time is getting night. He immediately cleaned the makeup on the face and went to the bathroom first to clean himself.
"Will I pray for jama'ah?" Ask Ratih who has changed into sleep clothes.
"The prayer was already there." Sahut Anjar who then turn into the bathroom.
Ratih smiled faintly while wearing a mukena. It's the second day of living together. He had witnessed how Anjar always performed prayers early in time. Pride filled the chest.
After praying Ratih saw Anjar already in the contest. Sit on your back at the head of the bed. She climbed up because her husband patted the side of the bed on the right.
"How many days do you want to stay in Jakarta?" Anjar rubbed Ratih's hair resting his head on his chest.
"Until Wednesday, Dad. You want to go to the branch first. I also want to stay at Teh Ratna's house not knowing how long." Obviously Ratih. With his eyes closed he felt comfortable anchored in the chest of the field that used to be a habit before going to bed.
"Well, where will we stay? While the children in Bandung, I also could not leave Mom alone if I had gone back to Ciamis." Followed Ratih with a face looking up.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow again. Tonight do not winoin romantic atmosphere. We're starting to break the fast, aren't we?" Anjar held a face that would look down hiding a shy hue. He tilted his body until he faced each other. He stared at a beautiful face with soft skin that was still tight because of the diligent treatment.
Ratih held back Anjar's lips that began to point to her lips. "Dad, the promise never made me hurt again" he said with a serious look.
Anjar pulled Ratih's index finger that was stuck to her lips. Keeps the wife's palm to the top of her head. "For God's sake, I promise. This second chance you will try to give happiness, always give a smile not sadness. Will try to be a good husband and father."
Ratih hugged Anjar tightly. "You're evil. Why is it so hard to get you out of this heart. I always feel tormented withstanding longing. The more you try to hate even your face is more real in the eye." he said to complain of his complaints all along.
Anjar lay down the body Train slowly. He turned over it with both hands against his wife's head. "Mas is the same. All this time resisting longing but afraid to meet. Keep your name in your heart. Nothing can replace him."
Relieved. When the burden of feelings that have been entrenched in the heart, it has been expressed to each other. Next there are no more words. Only actions that speak as a form of expression of mutual desire and need. Begin to relieve thirst and hunger in the form of the union of two bodies.

Sunday morning at Rama's house. The banner started heating up his car. I promised this morning I'd take Padma and Ami on vacation to Dufan. And Aul will come automatically.
"Teh, let's be eight." Ami tilted her head slightly opening the room door. He and Padma were the most excited and ready since.
"I'm going to use sunscreen first." Sahut Aul who is glazed polishing lips with lip tint. Only then wear sunscreen because it will linger playing outdoors.
"Zaky's not coming?" Rama asked to see Aul, Ami, and Padma saying goodbye to Mother.
"No, sister, there will be a invite here to play."
"whatwhat? Who would go with Aa? What girl boy? Does Aa have a meeting in Jakarta?" Cecar Ami who scuttle the steps of Zaky who will go to the pool accompanied his sister-in-law to swim.
"Little boy don't be a kepo." Zaky poked his tongue out. Pushing Ami's shoulder to the right to shift did not block the road.
"Eits can't pass, Aa Felguso! There is no secret between us. Let's say, want a pengggi cama capa?" Ami still blocked Zaky's path while gnashing his eyes.
"Chi." Padma giggled at Ami's behavior which she thought was laughable.
"Steh knows who's gonna pick up A Zaky." Puput emerged from the kitchen with a goodie bag containing two bushels. He smiled as Zaky winked to code.
"Name's Nadia. Oops, I'm slipping." Sekar's mother covered her mouth with wide eyes.
"Yaaah.mom is intentional." Zaky chuckled at the sight of her mother and her brothers chuckling. Because it will definitely be a material ledkan Ami.
"Italian....Aa Felguso has a new Betawi fan? That's Clarissa's sister to be accompanied. Screw dong." Ami started to mock.
"Nadia's a junior high. He's on holiday in Jakarta at his aunt's house. It's ah, go!" Zaky shook his hand to drive Ami away. Because it will not be finished serving Ami who will continue to be nosy.
Aul sat in front accompanying Panji who was the driver. In the back seat was already noisy by the two people who had just entered.
"Eh, you're not missing a shot?" Ask Ami to Aul. He reminded the provision given from Puput.
"Udah is stored in the trunk." Sahut Aul who finished installing the seat belt.
"What shoot? I want to camp." The pennant raised one eyebrow.
"Sobako love dong. For the provision of Kak Panji with Aul Tea." Celtuk Ami snatched before Aul who just opened his mouth.
"Ish basic Ami. That, Brother. Fruit salad made soup in Dufan." Error Aul. Just preparing to leave has got the messiness of his youngest brother.
"Hehe kirain what. I can do it Ami." Panji smiling mesem. Invite the car to pray before the engine is turned on.
"Mi, come home from Dufan and go to the mall yuk. We buy another twin, right? Padma gave me a lot of supplies last night." Said Padma after taking pictures in the car.
"Layu. I have plenty of supplies too. From saweran, from the fans, the same from Tea Puput earlier." Ami patted her beloved sling bag.
"But the twin has to be different in size. We are different height. Don't be like pajamas. My pants are so bad."
"Hihihi will intentionally let Ami remain cute." Padma giggled amusedly.
"Well, not cute. I'm like that real deworming. Her top shirt is loose, her pants are clumsy. The blanket fell down." Sahut Ami by putting on the face of a nelangsa. Made Padma laugh. The one sitting in front becomes the listener, interlocking the lyrics and stalling a smile.
...***...
"Teh, last Tuesday night I was invited to dinner at Mr. Bagja's house." New mother has the opportunity to talk alone with Puput after yesterday was busy with his celebration Cia.
"Why is mom telling me now? It's been a week." Puput looked at Mother who was both sitting on the terrace seat watching Rama and Zaky who were racing swimming.
"Mother believes Aul told me the same story. Mother deliberately waited to see you in person because there are serious things that want to be discussed."
Puput. Remembering Aul's words that were in accordance with his expectations.
"Pak Bagja has personally proposed to mom. And I'm telling you the answer to how the blessing of the children is." Mother gulped down the freshly poured green tea from the glass pot.
"You mother also liked Mr. Bagja, but Aul same Zaky will ngerestuin mother. Origin happy mother. About Ami, inshaallah teteh will persuade. Ami will be a long holiday here. So much time to woo her." The puput nodded for sure.
Mom smiled and looked closely at the face of the future mother who looked more and more chubby. "My mom used to say she never married again. Your father's position will not be replaced."
Puput. "Tea knows. I'm just saying, not a promise. And the position of Dad until anytime will not be replaced either in the heart of the mother or in the heart of the mother. There is a place of its own in the depths of the heart. So if you want to marry again, there is still an empty heart space to occupy. Don't feel guilty or betray you." Clearly very carefully.
Mother looked down at the stepped floor. He digested the explanation of the full puput of maturity. "But a mother who has many children and grows up, it is not enough to just think about herself."
"Didn't Mr Bagja know about our family, ma'am?"
Mother nodded. "Pak Bagja will accept all of Mom's children. He will be responsible for the education of Aul, Zaky and Ami. I've thought again carefully, processing again before making a decision. And Mom is now steady. Will soon give the same answer Mr. Bagja."
"What mother's answer?" Tanya Puput with eyes full of curiosity.

Monday approaching. If in the past Rama and Puput when going on a honeymoon to Turkey were escorted to the airport by Damar and Cia. Vice versa. Rama only worked half a day in the office. Go home to pick up Puput then leave for Mami Ratna's house. A couple of newlyweds were waiting there.
"A ready? Don't let anyone miss." Rama researched two large suitcases that stood side by side.
"Already, Brother. Visas and others are safe in the bag." Sahut Cia who is preparing to leave because four in the afternoon must have arrived at the airport.
After saying goodbye to Mami Ratna and Enin, Cia and Damar get into Rama's car. Say goodbye to Papi Krisna has passed the video call because the father has started to the office again.
The journey to the airport was smooth as expected. Rama and Puput gave honeymoon packages to Japan for five days. It is suitable for newlyweds as it coincides with winter.
"Thank you for the card, brother-in-law." Damar hugged Rama when it was time to check in at the airport. Pat each other on the back.
"This is a special provision for men. It was taken two hours before the. I'm a good brother-in-law, aren't I?" Whisper Rama while inserting two special coffee sachets that he ordered from herbal doctors members Brotherly Club.
"Njirr, omes's brother-in-law, this is." Damar shakes Rama's shoulders accompanied by head bobbles.
"Alaaah, don't muna. Your brain is the same. It's getting more addictive, isn't it?" Rama thaws and retorts the arm of a friend who rose to the status of a sister-in-law. For their chat was not noticed by Puput and Cia who were parting.
"Fii amanilah. Happy honeymoon, Cia." Puput hugged tightly with Cia with a bare face. Lucky to have a sister-in-law who is suitable and can be a friend. And now will let go with a new status as Mrs Damar.
"Aamiin, Tea. Nitip I need to grow up healthy. Bumil should also always be healthy and happy." Cia rubbed the stomach of the Eardrop that began to appear bloated.
"May nular cepet to Onty Cia." Toggle smiling knot. And Cia smiled as she gave her thumb.
Both waved each other so parted the waiting room. Rama summarizes the shoulder of Puput invites to leave the airport. After the responsibility as a brother who always give allotment of pocket money every month for his beloved sister. Because all this time he promised himself to his sister, if not married will always give pocket money as a form of affection to his only brother.
"Neng, where do you want to go? Or go straight home?" Rama glanced at Puput at a glance. Then focus on looking at the highway.
"May I get a culineran, A'? Mumpung in Tangerang I want to eat rice marrow with Laksa. This is the man who asked. " Suput tilted his head and put on a sweet smile.
Rama looked at it. Swiping the cheek with full of affection. "You Umma who asked also for Aa kabulin."
"Aseeek, the best Papa this is." Puput gave a kiss on Rama's left cheek.
"But tonight Papa wants to be eaten huh, Umma. It's a little baby's wish." Rama looked again with a slanted smile.
The pupil exhales loudly and squeezes. "Ah, mrslite de muji. I thought it was sincerely modus." Anxiously pinching the waist of Rama who now laughs off triumphantly.
