CHAPTER 23 Stomach

Today is the last day of the year, from the morning Retno permission to her husband go with Stella and Yanes.

Then shortly Randi and Nico came on a motorcycle to pick up Tina and Adela respectively.

They get permission to take him to his uncle for a walk with Randi and Nico.

Nancy stayed alone, and she helped her papa in the store.

All day his face was bent, as he felt quite irritated all went away while he was left behind.

Unbeknownst to him, those who were being let go were gathering at Stella's house.

Retno and team are preparing to make food and so on for the event later tonight.

Retno makes chicken soup in a big pot, fried chicken and so on.

Yanes seemed to help piercing satay, the girls cut fruits.

Randi and Nico part back and forth to the supermarket or to the nearest stall to buy some less necessities.

Stella was busy making cakes and pudding.

All set for the show tonight.

While at home, Yohan asked Wawan and Bu Yamah to help clean the backyard and also 1 empty room.

Then ask for help removing the table from some rooms in the layout in front of the yard.

And I'm telling you that Nancy asked, please just answer to be cleaned. Also Yohan asks that later tonight the family of Hayah be present at the event later.

By late afternoon, no one had returned home.

Because of the new year, the 4 o'clock store is closed. Yohan wanted to rest first while she secretly prepared something for later tonight.

Nancy, who was still upset, went upstairs and watched TV. Change chanel without anyone he likes, until he finds his favorite music show.

He watched until he fell asleep on the couch.

And by nightfall, Yohan went up to the house and woke her up.

"Nan..wake up..what time is this.quickly shower later down help papa.ayo Nan!!!".

Lazily Nancy wakes up, with a step of her love towards the bathroom.

In his heart grumbling," Papa was weird, want to tell help uh even have to take a shower first.excuse me...".

Finished the bath with a lazy he went down, with a face that was still bending.

Without him realizing that actually below has been many who gathered to celebrate the "Farewell Party" for him.

Nancy has officially resigned from BR University.

Because he will soon leave his country to New Zealand to continue his studies at NZ University.

That night, all her friends gathered there were Lena, Sandra, Alona and Meta, also there was Bram Lena's lover and also some other friends.

He was surprised to see the presence of all his friends.

And there was a banner that read, "Success is always Nancy, keep growing wherever you are"

His four best friends hugged him, and they were automatically crying.

Then Nancy came and hugged everyone present one by one.

He just realized it was mama Retno who must have prepared everything.

When he arrived in front of Mama Retno, he hugged her tightly and tears were not held back.

It's hard to say how happy he is tonight.

He looked at Retno and said quietly, "Nanan loves mama No".

Retno nodded and said as well, "Mama No is also dear to Nanan". And back they hugged.

Before eating there is something extraordinary again, what a miracle that night papa who prayed thanksgiving and also a meal prayer.

After praying Nancy hugged her father in full.

Then continue all the dinner because everything is in order.

Randi and Nico become the team burner satay, grilled corn and others.

There is warm chicken soup, fried chicken kremes and sweet-sour fried fish.

There's rainbow pudding, chocolate pudding and strawberries.

Fresh cut fruit on ice block.

All the hard work of Retno's mama team all day at Aunt Stella's house.

Amidst the meal, suddenly surprised by the arrival of Sanjaya and Mayang, as well as Nuraini's mother and Aida's mother their lecturer.

Almost all of the students had their eyes wide open to see their presence.

But soon realized that at this time Nancy their best friend had become a nephew of Mr. Sanjaya.

Yohan and Retno welcomed them and invited them to join the meal together.

Lucky that night it did not rain so the event could take place lively in the backyard of the house.

Yohan felt very happy, the whole time she lived in this house only now feels very colorful when she has Retno.

A woman who is always excited and always gives a new color in her life.

Nancy received many mementos from her friends and cousins.

He only found out that Mama Retno was whispering yesterday to ask her two cousins to buy a surprise for him.

Then Sanjaya and Mayang approached her, Mayang took out a small box from her bag and handed it to Nancy, a gift from them.

And when opened the contents of famous brand watches that if estimated the price of money for 4 semesters on campus.

Then Sanjaya said before all the students who were present that night" Nancy was my niece who never gave up. Although he got a hard ordeal but he kept trying to find another way to realize his ideals. I'm very proud of him".

Nancy smiled shyly and Sanjaya grabbed him and Mayangpun hugged him.

Destroyed is already a wall of suspicion barrier to the relationship of Sanjaya Family with Yohan family.

At midnight the year changed, everyone in the world welcomed happily.

No exception who gathered at this time in the backyard of Yohan's house.

Fireworks shot into the colorful air, further adding to the night's happiness.

In the city of Jakarta there is a group of young people who are also celebrating the new year's night party.

And some of them were surprised when they saw the status of Chat and also the status of Instagram owned by Bram Lena's lover.

Bram posted a picture of her standing up at an event while tightly embracing the shoulders of a mother-to-mother of their former lecturer.

And the post was titled by Bram thus,

" Everyone may call her the "left" mother of the college but for me she's the "con" mother of the campus".

"Stella.we are dating yuk.we are yuk now," Yanes told Stella.

And Stella looked surprised and answered, "just like going to the market".

Then the two laughed, and their hands clasped each other.

The second week at the beginning of the new year, Nancy was cleaning her clothes to put in a large suitcase.

In two days he had to leave for New Zealand to continue his studies at NZ University.

It was hard for him to leave his room which for many years had been a place to rest was also a place where he shed his tears, shed his happiness and sometimes made his room a place to hide when he was in a state of turmoil.

His still neatly arranged childhood dolls he hugged one by one, as he would soon leave them for quite a long time.

Later in the day he with his Papa and Mama No will go to the city of Jakarta, they will stay at Pakde Ardianto's house because the day after tomorrow he must leave his country through the largest airport there

"Darling, has everything been done, son? soon we have to leave" Retno asked the child.

" Mama No's...I'm Ma, just a little more," replied Nancy.

And suddenly she cried and then Retno hugged her, "Why baby?".

Nancy looked at Mom's face, tearfully, and said, "Mama No, Nanan will be gone for a long time. Nanan tipped Papa yah Ma".

"Papa must be dyingeti because he likes to be lazy to see a doctor if sick. Keep papa tuh likes strong support even though Nan has often seen like back or leg pain".

"Sometimes like to look like coughing like tightness but if asked like to say it's okay. Often late to eat Ma, until his stomach ache but yes it papa always cover his condition".

Retno hugged the child tightly, which is certainly considered like her biological child,

" Of course, dear, maybe it is God's plan that Papa and Mama No can be reunited and united with the condition of the mother who can not possibly give you a sister".

"Maybe you asked me to focus on watching your dad. As long as Mama No is able to be sure to always keep, love and pay attention to the condition of papa and also meet all the needs of papa".

Nancy hugged Retno because she felt grateful to have a mother who was very sincere in loving and loving her father and herself.

"My dear Nanan, Mama No also told you well son. Achieve your goals even though it will certainly be very heavy burden there later. Never give up, son. And one more thing when you meet someone do not easily fall in your heart, learn first as well and sincerely as he is to you. Also do not let you be blinded love to destroy all your desires".

"Last time Mama's been stupid and Mama's hoping not to happen to Nanan".

"Let you be far from us, strengthen your faith, son, firm and always close to the Lord".

Nancy nodded her head and back she hugged mom tightly.

Nancy is expected to leave the country for the next 5 years, and she will be separated from her father.

He is very grateful because Papa now has the best life friend who loves him sincerely, so he sure wholeheartedly wants to achieve the ideals to boast of his Papa according to the message of his late mother.

That afternoon it turned out that the delivery team as usual, the group of Oom Yanes and Aunt Stella, they wanted to take tomorrow to the airport while all the streets.

Because now Aunt Stella has a new hobby that is a walk anywhere with Oom Yanes.

Now the team members are increasing 1, Adela son Oom Sanjaya, she wants to also take her sister cousin.

And he also feels very happy because now he has an uncle who likes to joke.

Because there is an addition of participants, Nancy's goods in the form of 2 large suitcases get into Stella's car while Nancy participates in a cute car with her parents.

By late afternoon they arrived at Ardianto's house and their arrival was welcomed.

Because he was married, Yohan rose to the rank of now occupying the room when Retno was single.

And this time he can hug with his wife.

The girls and Stella in Tina's room add an extra mattress.

Yanes, Randi and Nico are in Ferryansyah's room, as the owner of the room is currently vacant in Dubai for the next 6 months as embassy staff.

And it is estimated that after 6 months she will marry her fiance Aida and then bring her to Dubai.

Later that night when gathered in the family room after all dinner, Adela idly made a video call with her brother, as his name was Ferry too but this one was Ferry Sanjaya.

Currently studying in Malaysia, "Assalamualaikum bang Ferry, I am at the house of Pakde Ardianto, tomorrow want to take Nancy's sister to the airport she wants to study at NZ. I don't know the same sister Nancy".

Then Ferry answered,

"Walaikumsalam, yes where your Nancy's sister is, brother wants to know dik".

Adela then approached Nancy and she said her brother wanted an acquaintance.

Then Nancy welcomes the video call and gets acquainted with her new cousin's brother.

"Hi bang greetings" Nancy waved her hand.

" Greetings know again, brother, welcome to be my sweet cousin well. Congratulations on studying at NZ. Do not be afraid in the country people show you Indonesia well dik" he said give spirit.

"If there are obstacles in the country people you can call me well. Because you will be the same as me regional children," he continued.

Nancy is happy because she now has another good-natured cousin.

Suddenly from behind Nancy appears Retno, and immediately waves to Ferry, "Aih my aunt... Congratulations on being the newlywed, where do I want to know".

Retno pulled her husband and they met each other on the video call and then told each other along with a cheerful laugh.

After the conversation was interrupted, they sat back down in the living room.

"Mas Ar, Mbak Lulu was Ferry Sanjaya send greetings to pakde and bude he said. When to go to Malaysia, the promise from last year he said", Retno conveyed a message from Ferry to her brother.

Then Ardianto answered,

"How about the streets, yesterday the business of Ferryansyah fiancee, then you marry, in a few months Ferryansyah will be married also no time".

Who are gathered to hear directly chiming even some protest, bothering what Ardianto people just sit and this designation is tired and complicated others.

It was definitely her daughter who was protesting.

And everyone chuckled at it because it was difficult for Ardianto to answer that his daughter had protested.

While sitting Ardianto looked at his new sister and family addition while saying ,

" It's amazing now that my family, various tribes and ethnicities, will soon be Janes the same Stella as well when are you married?".

Then Yanes and Stella whose names were called aghast and then Yanes replied, "Hahahahahah mas expensive same marriage direction Stella tuh, must first permit to Pontianak. Stay expensive at the cost".

And Stell also laughed while pinching his lover, because understand Yanes must be just joking.

"Oh, from Pontianak yah, the citrus dong," Ardiantopun commented jokingly.

Then Stella explained that she was originally a Pontianak, but her parents when there was still moving to the city of Bandung, after retirement moved again to Pontianak.

But now he died only his brother who is still there a lot.

" He is Cipondut loh mas Ar" said Yanes.

" What is Cipondut?" ask Ardianto and Lulu together.

Laughing and running away avoiding the pinch her lover Yanes replied,

"China Pontianak Endut".

Simultaneously who heard all laughing, while the object of the sufferer glared while brandishing a fist but soon joined in laughing as well.

After the deda Ardianto also told about his family to Yanes and Stella also to Yohan.

Their family was originally Semarang people, then moved to the city of Jakarta and continued to be teak wood entrepreneurs here.

Because this is a hereditary legacy business.

Then Ardianto married Lulu who was originally from Palembang.

Dan Sanjaya is Lulu's cousin the same from Palembang also married to Mayang Sundanese girl.

Sanjaya's family is devout Muslims, as his extended family in Palembang there are descendants of the famous Kyai.

After telling the story, Ardianto accidentally looked at Nico and asked, saying,

"Where are you Randi's real friends from ?".

Nico is indeed a curly sweet black, he is originally from Flores East Nusa Tenggara.

" I'm Nico Oom, a native of Flores NTT and ready to be Oom's son-in-law" he replied.

" WHAT ! amit-amit ogaaahh!!!!", Tina yelled as she threw the seat cushion at Nico.

Back all laughing, that night Ardianto's house was full of laughter and warmth.

"Randi, bro I think I canceled so son-in-law Sanjaya, I've been black this is uh different beliefs also Adela. I'm hanging tomorrow with Sanjaya. As he owns the campus," Nico joked to his best friend.

Randi laughed," So now you have a crush on Tina?".

Nico with a smile said, "Depending on us bro, our intentions or our friendship is breaking up".

And they laugh while sticking their fists together.

The next morning they had been up since dawn.

Lulu had already prepared breakfast, when they finished breakfast they said goodbye because they would take Nancy to the airport.

Ardianto and Lulu give some advice to Nancy, but they don't.

While Tina is allowed to come along because she accompanies Adela while believing that if she goes there is Oom Yanes there will definitely be a show covering a tourist spot.

And soon they say goodbye because of Nancy's flight schedule around 10 a.m.

They must arrive at least 1 hour before the airport.

After making sure there are no more items or documents left behind they also slide to the airport.

Along the way Nancy sat down while her head was leaned forward onto Mama Retno's shoulder, and her hand was holding Retno's hand.

Arriving at the airport, they came down and from the other direction appeared Oom Yanes group carrying his suitcase.

Then they all headed to the check-in area, after Nancy cleared the procedure to enter, they had about 30 minutes.

And this is an episode of crying.

Papa and Nancy hugged, soaked in her face she could not help but weep to leave her Papa for a long time.

After all this time since childhood never once separated from his father.

Yohanpun shed tears without a sound.

Difficult and happy to have experienced it from childhood just the two together just with Papa.

Now there is Mama Retno who will accompany Papa and that makes him calm leaving the Papa for him to go to achieve his goals.

Then she hugged Retno who she now called Mama No, back tears flooded them both.

Papa and Mama Retno give encouragement and advice to Nancy.

They asked Nancy to always contact them in any case because today the communication tool is much easier to reach.

" Don't cry, you like lebai deh," Oom Yanes used to start yelling.

Nancy also glanced at Oomnya, then Oomnya pulled her hug, he said,

" Well you yeah..." Oom Yanes could not continue his sentence because he was also teary-eyed.

Nancy saw that so she cried again, she would definitely miss this Oomnya.

Yanespun was moved and proud that his nephew could achieve his dream to study abroad.

Then Nancy hugged her new cousins, "We're just gonna have to split up".

Then to Stella and also to Randi and Nico.

Both of them teased, then,

"Nanan finally hugged us well bro".

Automatically both are bent on their arms.

There was no long sound of a call for departure to New Zealand, and they waved each other.

While the two girls cousin joking titip if there is a handsome bule introduce to them.

So did Randi and Nico not want to lose.

"Nanan..make oom also well one!!!" yanes shouted while not long feeling the pain in his head that grabbed his hair.

They waited in the parking lot while watching the plane take off leaving Indonesia.

Retno hugged Yohan tightly because she knew that even in her silence Yohan must feel very lost.

She tried to give her husband strength.

Nancy will travel about the next 7 to 8 hours.

But upon arrival there must have been a little night because the difference in the time of our country with there is 5 hours.

Then they were ready to go home, but Yanes again had plans for a walk.

" Ko Yohan we're going to the beach first, come with brother?" ask him to Yohan.

Then Yohan glanced at Retno and his wife just shuddered while handing over to Yohan alone.

"That's it, we just want to go home" replied Yohan.

Then they separated, the group of Yanes will travel to the beach.

Yohan and Retnopun drove home. " Dear, we got more clothes?" ask Yohan to his wife.

" There is, I prepared some just in case. Why the hell?" ask Retno to Yohan.

"This is the steering wheel of the car to turn to the top well," said Yohan.

And Retnopun understood and pinched her husband's wrath, saying, "the pervert begins".

Yohan just grinned amusedly.

Finally time went on, it did not feel like 7 years had passed.

Nancy has completed her S2 and she currently teaches at one of the high schools that are still one group with NZ University.

He chose to teach here more casually so that he could while studying other sciences again.

He has a girlfriend named Richard Douglas, who is the younger brother of Mr. Douglas. Steven Douglas, who interviewed him a few years ago when he was offered an offer to study at NZ.

Currently Steven Douglas is already rector at NZ University and his brother Richard is one of the teaching team there.

They met a long time ago when they first set out for New Zealand, because the one who picked him up to the mess at that time was Richard.

And since then love began to bloom as they often met as students and teaching assistants.

At the end of next year, they are getting married.

When Nancy was already in new Zealand, the house was in a major renovation.

Now there is no longer a boarding house, but the store is still there.

The boarding house was built into their home, while the rows of rooms that were once occupied by Retno are now transformed into private courses.

And the courses are given all lessons ranging from Elementary School to High School level.

Initially the main teaching team was Randi and Nico.

They also invited some of his friends who are considered smart but have a limited economic background, drawn into the team.

Not bad for pocket money enhancer even possible for tuition fees.

From the beginning only the place where ordinary courses then developed continues until now it is official and registered with the Ministry of Education and Culture.

Even now teaching him almost all scholars.

In place of this course is now famous for having spawned many graduates who enter public universities or prestigious private universities.

Randi Angkasa has passed S2 and is now a leader on the course.

But the shareholding is all in the name of Tri Retno Handayani and Yohan Nata Atmaja.

Then Yohan is also now not struggling in the store, most only for the financial statements of Wawan.

Because the store has been managed by Wawan and his wife.

The top of the shop that used to be Yohan's home, now occupied by Wawan and his wife.

Coincidentally Wawan's wife is good at cooking, then the store is blocked divided into two parts.

Next to the grocery store and next to the cafeteria.

Notably many students who eat there including Retno are also busy so rarely cook so subscribe also to his wife Wawan.

Yohan has also graduated from college because a few years ago attended employee classes and majored in Primary School Teacher Education.

And now he became one of the teaching team in the course that Randi managed.

Yanes and Stella are married, and they live in this town while the store that was born in Yanes was closed all used as a boarding place and managed by her sister Mila.

Later every year there is a calculation of the profit sharing between brother and sister.

Yanes along with Stella opened a cloth clothing store and also received clothes stitching.

Receive also the design of kebaya clothes for wedding or for other events .

Because Stella studied the fabric business, she also had time to learn sewing to understand how to develop her business.

While the sweet black Nico returned to Flores after graduating S2 and he became an expert lecturer at one of the famous colleges there.

Despite being separated, Randi and Nico's friendship still exists today.

Nico is married and has a family there.

Randi himself is still single, his love is rejected by Tina.

The problem is that Tina already considers Randi her cousin, so she feels bad if she is even a couple.

But some time ago he found a student who was still in elementary school crying.

The boy was crying because he had not been picked up by his aunt.

Then Randi accompanied him until his aunt came.

And when the son's aunt came, it turned out that the aunt was very beautiful.

They got acquainted and are now approaching.

Some time ago Yohan and Retno had time to visit their only child to New Zealand.

They want to know how the child is and it turns out that his condition is comfortable.

They also met Richard and his family. It turns out that the prospective daughter-in-law is already good at Indonesian language.

So that's how it all went so beautifully. Retno present in Yohan's life gives color and happiness in her life.

Likewise for Nancy, she was so happy that her prayer was answered by God to give her father a companion so good that a big change in their family.

It is not wrong God chose Retno for Yohan, now happiness was spread other than for his small family and relatives and people around him.

May the blessings and mercy of the Lord be with them and be happy until the end.
