For Redanya Rain, You & Mau.
Episode 40's

" Estu, I'd like to ask permission from you. Tomorrow May I take Danesh and Arcelio away??" i told him.

" Where??" I asked her by looking at me a little suspiciously.

" I'm planning on taking them to visit my father in the village??"

" Your father, in Purwakarta??" He said Back to ask. I just nodded.

Estu Just Shut up, maybe she hesitated a little bit.

I slightly folded my lips, waiting for an answer from him. Then breathe slowly.

" How many days are you gonna go up, what's it going on??" Said later.

" Five days or a week, if you can??" answer me.

" Old Really??" a word that sounds doubtful.

" I was thinking, so that the kids wouldn't be too tired?" I said give a reason.

" Get me a car??" said.

I just laughed while looking at him.

" Who's car is Estu? I'm planning to Take the Bus Only. Let's save?"

" You can take that car, why take the Bus??" he said he sounded disagree.

" Why should a week, 3/4 days be enough?" Said.

I laughed again, though,

" why? Something is wrong!?" His tone sounded dirty.

" No, not wrong. Just, you said I was asked to take care of Arcel. Didn't I ever tell you that maybe he'll take me to Java??"

" That means it will be further from Purwakarta?" I said remind.

" Yes you know, but that's not it right now. You also want to take Danesh away? who am I??!" he said he sounded angry.

" Yeah, I want to take them both to see my father.they've never been close to my family??" I said.

" Well, you were the one who didn't want to introduce her to your family.it wasn't their fault Or me. wasn't it??"

I looked back at him.

" Yes, I was wrong. Never thought of introducing her to my Abah?"

" Or introduce her to my other family. Now I want to introduce my children to my family especially Abah!?"

" However, children should know where their father came from Who is his grandfather, who is his father's family??"

" You said, What did you do? You said your family is evil!?" he said to speak of me in the past.

Then I Sigh. Withdrawing Breath and throwing it away, getting annoyed at why I used to be so and why Estu is bringing up her leverage now.

I looked at him once more.

I held back My resentment and Emotions, with a flat facial expression while shaking my head slowly towards him.

Then I left her.

***

Why didn't he get angry earlier?, I thought I felt a little strange to him.

he only went to Purwakarta, not to flee to Java, to Kutoarjo where he lives now.

Honestly I'm afraid he's gonna take my kids away.I'm afraid that my son will be with his stepmother.

Is Stepmother usually unhappy with the child of her husband??

Now, what should I do.??

I knew he was upset and wanted to be mad at me, but he held him back, I know for sure.

Is it true that he will only bring my son to meet his grandfather?

Or is there any other meaning, what should I do?thought again.

I approached Sakha who was accompanying Danesh and Arcel playing in the living room.

he seemed to help that Arcel confirmed the pile of wooden blocks whose sides contained letters and numbers.

" Now try you to think, if I had spoken so the same way you were Danesh who asked his wife for permission to bring his son with his grandparents who had never been met.

" And his wife answered like you did. How do you feel??" he said while playing with Arcel.

I'm speechless. There is a truth, said Sakha Just now.

" I deliberately took Danesh and Arcel on the Bus and trained his motor skills, memory, increasing his knowledge and experience that they might remember.?"

" No other meaning??"

" Are you scared, I'll take them away??" he said like tofu to my prank.

" Don't you??" my pretext.

" I just don't like it when they have to take the bus. Dirty, lots of dust, hot. Not to mention they'll be tired during the trip??" I said.

She laughs.

" Estu, you haven't seen Terminal in too long, haven't been on the bus. So how do you know how things are going now??" said.

" What do you think of that, is your shadow from the old movies??"

" Now, almost all inter-provincial, or inter-city buses are AC. The seats are comfortable soft, We now have a Toll road that makes the trip faster to arrive??"

I just kept quiet. Yeah anyway?? Thought.

" It remains Sakha.Gak guarantees her Hygienic. Why don't you take the train, just as fast??" I said.

" Ribet up and down Estu, moreover I have to bring two little children.?" answer her.

" Oh, if you can't be the same??" he said he sounded annoyed.

" Otherwise, you were talking as if I had to keep making mistakes.?"

" I know I was wrong, but please give me a chance to fix it.!?"

" If I assume that now is it still wrong in your mind Estu??"

" I'm wrong to just introduce you to my Abah in the village."

" i only brought you to my hometown once, because I was ashamed of you, with the fact that my origins are not comparable to your great noble family.?"

" Now I just realized, why should I be ashamed of the same situation.Emang in fact I'm a child people do not have really? Farm Labor's Son, who sometimes odd jobs."

" As you know, I was raised by Others, Not my own Abah. I'm here and there because of his incompetence because of the Economy!?"

" For many years in the cottage, have to follow someone else who is still a brother in order to continue school?"

He said Seriously Speaking to me while Still sitting next to Arcelio.

" From childhood all I know is to find Firewood, run grass, Shepherd the cattle of others. Not like you who can play to the mall, ice skating exercises, play Wheel shoes, join Bimbel with Les??"

" When the school holidays, can the road outside the city what abroad??"

" What am I, the most fishing, Swimming at times, Bathing in Buffalo??" He said Storytelling.

" But it's not sadness that I want to introduce to my children Estu, Just want to say, My turning point first, Introducing the Memory I have about Me and the village?!"

" As knowledge, the noble value of family that must be maintained, the family breed is like a torch. Don't get it out.?"

" It does not need to be long, I let you take them both but only 4 days.!" I said as I entered the room.

That's a long explanation, but it makes sense, too.

A little sad I was, every time he told me about his past.

The past she told him about was like the golden luster she had.

***

" Papa, who do we want to go to??" ask Danesh to me.

" Grandpa's house, to his house??"

" oh, so go to the same grandpa's house??" she said, I just smiled as I rubbed her hair.

" Don't you love, grandpa's house means his house too??" answer me

" is there two houses??"ask him Gemas.

" Papa call that grandpa Abah like Mama call Eyang daddy?? say

" oh want to go to his house Abah papa, means his grandfather Danesh dong's house?? said.

" it's a real pinter, papa boy??" I said while kissing his head.

As usual, Arcel didn't say much he just pointed in the direction of what I asked.

like I'm asking now what we're up to. If if Danesh must have answered the bus, if Arcel just looked at me, his mouth gaped without saying a word.

After getting off the angkot, I climbed the ojek to get to my village which is quite still beautiful, in addition to bringing the children I also made a little souvenir for my father and family.

I saw the rice fields that had just begun to be planted look green, like a carpet in the mosque.

The smell of wild plants and leaves that I smell is still very clear I remember.

Sometimes, the heat of the reeds that hit my hand that was riding on a speeding ojek.

Arcelio I flank In the middle, while Danesh sat in front of his Mamang Ojek.

indeed, I did not live with my father as a child, actually I was closer to my mother's family who were in Padalarang Bandung.

But when I was a child I was in a cottage and left in Rumah uwak or my father's brother in Tasikmalaya.

my mother died when I was a child, and Abah left me to my aunt, my mother's sister, because she was getting married again.

in the past Bi Siti was the one who took care of me and my older sister, Nyai tea.

While my older brother Aa Ridwan Untreated. since childhood he had a mental disorder. It only got worse after my mother died, due to illness.

Said Abah first, who gave my name is Engineer. Supervisor of the project where he worked used to be a porters building in Jakarta when making one of the buildings that is still towering.

that's why my name is good among my brothers.

I have my own call by Abah, I used to call him Asep aka casep or handsome? hehehe

***

Arcelio seemed to cry uncomfortably when meeting new people.

Danesh was only silent when his grandmother, or my stepmother greeted him.

" Abah kamana Ambu??" I asked my mother, asking about Abah's whereabouts.

" Sakiyeu mah Abah maneh is still attacked?"

(This hour your Mah Abah is still in the fields) he said.

Then I gave it to him.

" maneh tea kadieu tiluan bae jeung barudak, which tea mane?? ask her.

(You're here with just three kids, your wife)

I'm just smiling.

" nuju Aya Pang damelan, anjeuna keur ka out of town. job ti office Ambu?? answer me.

(Working, she's again going out of town on assignment from the office, mom)

shortly after my sister came over, brought me a glass of tea.

he may be 16 or 18 years old.

I never knew I had two sisters. All I remember was Elis who was married and had 1 child.he lived not far from Abah's house.

" Iyeu Adi maneh, the Mira?" My mother said she introduced it and then she shook my hand.I saw an old wall clock still hanging in the cubicle of this house. percis was and is in the same place that Estu and I came here first.

" Naha Ambu, Sakha tea Tara Apal Jeung si Mira? Kapungkur Da asana eweh?" I said as I took my Arcelio. My mother laughed.

(Mother Mom, Sakha never knew Mira? It used to be nothing)
