"We got a 5-year contract offer in Bali!"
"In Bali??? You guys keep moving to Bali?" Mom and Umi again asked. This time with a serious face.
"We want to be independent,... We,"
"Wait, wait! So you guys want to move to Bali? Bali you know? Not Jakarta or Pandeglang.yang if mom or umi kangen can grab car or rental car cus can meet you. Especially now we have two twin grandchildren who will certainly make us always miss. Yes khan, mi?" mom is looking for allies. Umi nodded quickly.
Akis and Zul looked at each other. Then smiling makes both pairs of their parents more tense.
"Then Zul and Akis agreed. Maulana Zulvandy, we put it in mom and dad. Then, Maulani Akisty we landed in umi abah. Zul Sama Akis will move to Bali. We will learn to independently try to pursue dreams and hopes as well as the wishes of the mother's father and abah umi. How's it?"
All silence confusion. Trying to digest the word Zul.
"I mean??..."
"We have entrusted our sons and daughters for 5 years to you. We entrust Maulana Zulvandy and Maulani Akisty to you. With a note, you must meet each other often so that our sons do not feel separated from each other. Because Zulvan is in Jakarta and Akisty is in Pandeglang."
They were still confused, but with a slight smile on each other's lips.
"Want you and Akis?" mother asked again.
"Just like Zul said earlier,... Akis and Zul are going to Bali. Opens a workshop and souvenir shop in one place in Buleleng. There are big investors who dare to support us. This is a good opportunity for us to get started. We ask for your support. After 5 years, we've just got another plan."
"What is an investor really?" I responded to Zul. This time he wanted to ascertain the truth of Zul's efforts.
"Dad knows the investor. And again, the investor is not alone. They made three companies. One of them is the Word, Dad! God willing after Akis is healthy and strong about 2 months, we can move to Bali."
"But Zul is equally sorry Akis, would like to ask your father again for the cost of milk and the days of Zulvan-Kisty. We will send money after our economic life stabilizes later. Hehehehe....!Think of our son as our replacement. So we used our names again. Mom's dad, do you agree?"
"We agree!" they answered in unison with cheerful laughter.
"We're going on a honeymoon." Ledek Zul while hugging Akis make umi and mother replace their teasing.
It was like a dream for Zul and Akis. Actually Bang Firman has been 4 months back and forth Pandeglang Bandung to try negotiations with Zul to be willing to cooperate with them. Because one of his friends who are native Balinese have a building that is not used.And was threatened by his parents to be revoked again his property rights if not used alone. Therefore, bang Firman took the initiative to invite to join the workshop and souvenir shop because of its strategic position near tourist attractions. Zul and Akis were given full power to manage it. Every month they will take care of their finances and unakanik. Of course this is the golden opportunity of Zul and Akis. It's a shame they didn't take such a good offer.
Thankfully both of their parents finally accepted Zul and Akis' decision. For that Zul will wait for Akis to recover first after giving birth.
For his two children, Zul and Akis know. Easily leave her baby to her parents. Without thinking about the side effects.
Instead Zul and Akis had considered it and asked the Kholiq for a way out. They gain enlightenment by not putting aside the feelings of their parents. In addition, leaving children to their grandparents is the right decision. They will definitely be cared for and cared for with affection, as they used to take care of Zul and Akis into adulthood.
While parents will not be too sad and lonely if Zul and Akis leave them for a long time. In addition, they can learn to manage their hearts, minds and feelings as adults who think ahead for their future and also children.
Everything is still a process. Think Zul, if he and Akis succeed with 5 years, then, between opening a workshop in Jakarta and being able to gather with children or continue business in Bali by bringing their sons and daughters to live together. It all depends on their sustenance and hard work together.
Zul embraces Akis' shoulder. Trying to strengthen his heart and determination for a brighter future with Akis.
Although they started as childhood wives who married only as childhood toys. Zul is determined to make Akis the wife of all time. To be his life companion forever. This makes Akis the perfect woman for his life.
Akis is like that too. He made his choice from an early age. From childhood to adulthood, and God revealed his intentions. They have God predestined through all the stories of his life from birth to the present. That Zul was the couple God had arranged for him. Until death do them part. It is always Akis' prayer. With Zul for the rest of his life. Makes her a perfect woman. To be the wife and mother of the fruit of their love. And hope their love is timeless.
