"You take care of yourself, baby, don't trust other people too much, keep telling Han to take care of you, don't mess around. If he dares to be naughty with you, say the same papa. Throw away your engagement ring. Batalin. After that you go home to see papa in Indonesia. Listen Aiko Geano"
Blinded at around 4 a.m., Sandi, a 49-year-old middle-aged male figure, recorded a voice message for his only daughter. Pressing the send button with vibrating hands and dewy eyes.
"Yes, don't forget to eat breakfast later, at 7 o'clock not more not less. Eat nutritious foods, do not buy frozen ramen or spaghetti constantly. The doctor must also take care of health. Listen babe?"
Again, his old fingers pressed the send button, after which, the man refuted his face with both palms. My eyes held back the drowsiness, but also the heavy longing.
It has been the last month he moved back to Indonesia and it means that he has also been a month away from his only daughter who chose to remain in Japan.
Aiko, her little girl is now an adult, already 27 years old. He has succeeded in achieving his goal of becoming a doctor. A great doctor who wants to make everyone healthy, who wants to make his mother's case not repeat itself. An impromptu ideal that arises after his little girl knows all the stories of her parents.
And also, now. Aikonya already has a fiancee. His name is Han Nakamura. They were engaged three years ago, but Sandi has not allowed them to marry. It's not like a man's choice of children. This time Sandi likes it, really likes it. Han is a dream man. Well done, he's a Nerve specialist at one of the big hospitals. Good manners, he can understand the many cultural differences between the two families are very striking . He can also adjust to his family.
Han is the ideal son-in-law, the young doctor in his early thirties is very understanding of Sandi, responsible, firm and not soft.
Sandi really likes it, it's just. Why can't he give them permission to marry.
Sandi is just afraid of losing.
She was afraid that her daughter would leave her when she got married.
The old-fashioned mind of the single parent continued to drift. It made her even more afraid to let go of her daughter.
"Hah" Sandi sighed, laying down her body. The middle-aged man grabbed a photo of his small family.The photo was taken 20 years ago when Aiko was 7 years old.
Sandi, so miss her angel.
****
Being a single parent was never imagined in the mind of young Sandi. Losing Angela was the frightening loss she had experienced during her youth. And to lose Kea is to lose his whole soul. Sandi felt her life spirit just disappear.
Sandi was naughty, but only then did she feel like she wanted to end her life so quickly to return with Kea.
It's just that, when he saw little Aiko sobbing in the corner of the room while hugging a picture of his wife. Sandi knew, there was something he had to take care of in his life, there was something he had to endow affection in his lifetime.
Aiko is the reason why Sandi is still willing to live a tough life.
The man must admit, the loss of Kea is the most painful, the most terrible and the most lamentable loss of all time.
In fact, a few weeks after the departure of Kea, Sandi still often ran to the kitchen while carrying his tie.
Throw that tie in a hurry,
"Ai, please wear me a tie-" Shut up, Sandi was silent, she realized that she was alone at the time.
Pulling his tie languidly, the man sat in the dining chair, staring at the kitchen which was still clean and had not been touched at all.
Sandi lowered her head, she sobbed to miss Keanya.
It was just that, upon hearing the tiny footsteps approaching him. Sandi instantly wiped away her tears, pretending to cough in order to disguise her cries.
"Ohayo, Aikoo, Uda want to go to school?papa hasn't made breakfast yet, what if we-Grep.
Aiko hugged him, always. It was always like that even months later.
They are still often pensive to look at the kitchen room or the middle room which incidentally is the place most often visited by Kea first with a longing gaze.
Slowly but surely, Sandi and Aiko begin to rise from the slump.The pair of father and son begin to enjoy the day together. They began to establish cooperation, help each other make breakfast, help each other clean up the house and calm each other when the two were ambushed longing.
Sandi always looks at Aiko with love, Aiko may be similar to her, bule's face and everything inside the little girl is a photocopy of her. But, the nature and the way the little girl behaved really belonged to Kea.
Sandi always felt, Aiko is the most beautiful gift God gave to her and Kea. Always, always like that.
Aiko is her most beautiful, smartest and most understanding child, Sandi tau, her little girl's dream is to become the greatest pianist. But when they visit Indonesia to make a pilgrimage to Kea kemakam. Aiko asks what disease hurt her mother.
Password with a bitter smile said, "Hant"
After that, Silence enveloped the two. Sandi recalled that time she led a prayer, sending a prayer for her love. And after that, when they're going home. Suddenly Aiko kissed the mother's headstone. Kissed her for a long time while crying. "Mama, Aiko Misses, Really misses. I'm sorry Aiko didn't know she was sick. I'm sorry Aiko hasn't been able to do anything about my mom. But today Aiko promised, Aiko will be a doctor who can do the pain that you have ever suffered. Let there be no other Aiko out there who misses unrequited. Yes ma, Mama would be happy later. Aiko will make everyone healthy. Aiko wants to be a heart doctor for mom"
Sandi wiped her tears silently at that time, her haru and pride in Aiko made Sandi know, she had to take care of Aiko with all her soul. He doesn't want to lose anymore. Unwilling.
***
Sandi always sees Aiko like her son, the cute fat baby. Who is chatty and always needs his help.
No matter how big and smart Aiko is, Sandi always feels her son is still very much a child.
But, that day, the night after work. Sandi saw her 14-year-old little girl holding her. Then whispered in a timid tone.
"Papa, Aiko's coming month. How's that gonna wear it?"
Sandi gasped at that time, she looked at her son horror, but when she saw Aiko's embarrassed face, Sandi tau, her daughter must be confused until finally desperate to ask him.
Sandi stroked her daughter's head, then the two opened the internet to find out how to use monthly objects that Aiko had bought before.
At that moment, Sandi realized. Her daughter is growing up.
***
As Aiko grew older, Sandi grew increasingly unsettled. The young papa was always watching Aiko, forbidding this-that, demanding this-that, which she unknowingly had already become a toxic papa for Aiko. He became an overprotective and over possessive father.
At that time, when Aiko's problem went to date Ryoma Tanaka. And ended up with his quarrel with his daughter. Sandy acknowledged. He's got it wrong.
His daughter is lonely, his daughter is depressed. Sandi realized, He is not the best papa.
However, the problem is dramatic, Aiko realizes the meaning of her papa, Aiko realizes the love her father gave her. And Sandi, aware of her daughter's feelings. Realized mistake.
That problem, eventually became a new bridge to the closeness of the two. Closer closeness, healthier father and son closeness.
***
The thing Sandi was most worried about was when Aiko finally graduated from university. Anxiety is more troubling for Sandi than her anxiety when Aiko asked for permission to date Han a month ago.
Aiko has to go through her hiatus and gets busy at the hospital. Then continued with his specialist education.
Aiko was getting less and less affordable from her sight.
In fact, Sandi began to feel, He lives alone at home.
Aiko rarely came home because her girl more often stay at the hospital or apartment near the campus.
Sandi starts to get lonely, she always terrorizes Aiko with a phone call and a short message that is always answered a few hours later for one undeniable reason.
"Sorry Pa, Aiko was helping Dr. Tomo surgery from 10 to 3 o'clock, this is also Aiko just came out and wanted to eat."
Or the.
"Sorry Pa, Hp Aiko's at the locker, Aiko's got surgery scheduled for tonight to help Dr. Tomo, so I don't think Aiko's coming home tonight"
"Sorry pa, Aiko forgot to reply last night. Aiko. This is going to the hospital."
"Sorry pa, Aiko overslept. Aiko go home tonight"
Then a year later. Sandi was really lonely when her daughter moved to Kyoto Hospital, far away from her who still settled in Tokyo.
"Papa, Aiko was transferred to Kyoto."
Shortly after, Sandi could only look at a photo of her daughter when Aiko's speech flashed on her head.
"Pa. Han proposed to me, tomorrow we're going to Tokyo to meet papa"
And it's been three years. Sandi is losing time with her little Aiko. Until finally, a month ago. After retiring from his job as an architect. Sandi decided to return to Indonesia. Stay at his parents' house, which is now all gone. Storyline Kai, Papa Kea who began to enter the hospital was more time spent at home alone without wanting Sandi to stay together.
Sandi refused to force, because of the fact. He and his father-in-law make no difference.
****
Sandi rubbed Kea's headstone gently, Nisan next to Mama-in-law's tomb made Sandi say hello for a while before returning to focus on giving up longing for her love.
Today Sandi is on a pilgrimage to all the graves of her loved ones after a month more staring in Indonesia.
Before going to the tomb of Kea, Sandi had visited the tomb of his parents and his first daughter. Angela's. The Geano family cemetery. Now Sandi is in a cool complex public cemetery.
"How are you doing Ai?" Bisik Sandi kissed Kea's headstone, she stroked slowly engraving the name of the wife with a feeling of longing.
"How's heaven? Beautiful?" Ask Sandi with dewy eyes. He looked at the grave of the very well-preserved wife with blurry eyes.
"Do you know what day this is?"
"Don't you miss me? I miss you, very, very much."
"Now, I am moving to Indonesia, I am also retired. But Aiko we're still left there. Or maybe it'll always stay there."
Sandi wiped her tears.
"You know, our Aiko, that fat baby who used to be a little lazy learned that path. Now big uda. Uda became a doctor. Uda is a doctor who can make people recover. Should have. You should be willing to survive to be treated Aiko we hehe hiks" Sandi sobbed slowly.
"Aiko we also have a future husband, his name is Han Nakamura. They've been fucked up last year."
"Aiko we're grown, she's getting married. But I'm not willing. I'm afraid he's not happy, I'm afraid he's hurt, I'm afraid he's hurt, I'm afraid Aiko we're sad. I'm afraid I'm losing Aiko."
"Later when he's married, I'm afraid Han doesn't love him, I'm afraid Han can't love him like I love him and love him. I'm afraid of Kea. I'm scared."
Long Sandi cried, shed her sigh, not realizing the figure of a beautiful girl with a blue press who had arrived an hour earlier than the papa who was now silent stiff next to the Cherry tree planted in the cemetery diggir.
He smiled, with wet tears.
Last night, after her father sent her many longing messages and also a lot of advice from Han. Aiko finally decided to resign from the hospital where she worked in Japan. Aiko wants to return to Indonesia to accompany her parents and grandfather in Indonesia.
He began his career as a doctor in his mother's country of birth.
Aiko had gone home, she had until this morning, but had not informed her papa because she wanted to visit her mother and grandmother first. And when going home, Aiko saw the figure of her father who came while carrying a bouquet of lily flowers.
And it ended with Aiko listening to all the curses of her papa and Aiko instantly realized. How missed his father, how worried he was about him, how proud his father was and how his love for him.
Aiko.understand.
"Da.. Happy 30th wedding anniversary, thank you for being there for me all your life, thanks Angela and Aiko for me, thank you, thank you, thank you."
"Thank you ma"
Sandi jerked the middle-aged man turned his head with a quick movement when he heard the voice of his son. Sandi was so pussy. Aiko's distinctive Japanese-accented voice can be instantly recognized Sandi.
"Aiko
Aiko smiled, she embraced her papa, kissing her wet papa cheeks.
"Ma.. Aiko back again. heheh"
"You home?" Ask Sandi with wet eyes.
Aiko smiled, her green eyes glowing clear. "How can I stay away if my best love is in Indonesia. There's both papa and mama"
Sandi tergugu.he hugged Aiko with haru.
"Yes, happy thirtieth wedding anniversary ma, pa, thank you guys Aiko and sister Angela your best love..Thanks.." Aiko smiled and once again hugged her papa.
They laughed together afterwards.
"Do you really want to stay with papa?" Ask Sandi as the two walked out of the tomb.
"Well" said spoiled Aiko, the mature girl was swaying in her papa.
"What about your many patients"
"Papa's jealous of my patient"
"No"
"Cie jealous"
"No"
"Hahah, papa funny, Oya I uda resigned, at most I will apply for work at a hospital near here"
"Really"
"Hm"
"Keep Han how, you stay"
Aiko smiled, "Hm, we're LDRs"
"You're sure,"
"Hm, if he loves me, I'm always sure anyway"
"Such PD"
"Pd is what pa"
"Confidence"
"Papa, Jaksel's ass is great"
"Yeh, papa is indeed Jaksel's son kok.you're a surprise-ass"
"Oh papa"
They laughed when they got into the car. Then the journey home was filled with jokes, laughter and real happiness.
They may have been stretched and indeed had to stretch because of the life cycle and maturity. But their bond is real. A father and son bond that cannot be eroded by distance, time and age.
In fact, until a year later when Sandi finally let go Aiko married her lover of her heart.
Their relationship is still improving.
And now, Sandi can laugh a lot in her old age with her two cute and active grandchildren. A granddaughter and a man who has green eyes like his mother. And Japanese facial features like his papa.
He's happy.
Aiko and her little family were happy too.
And he hopes Angela and Keanya will too.
