Dul
160. Whole Family Support

“Household is not enough with only capital ‘mau hard work’. Because everything has to be balanced. About the mindset, lifestyle, education, principles and all the things that will be passed throughout the time together. Household, yes about it.”

“Still, Kung. Now I'm more confident. I feel lucky to be one of Satyadarma.”

“Dan Akung is also proud to have a fighter pilot from one of Satyadarma. You see almost all Satyadarma is journalists.”

Dul and Wirya exchanged looks and laughed afterwards. Dul also had time to grimace when helping Mr. Wirya stand up. The old man said, “Life is not a barrier, but the waist can't lie.”

All the advice of Mr. Wirya penetrated to the recesses of his heart. Farewell until when he ran in the airport usa delivering a wise man who accompanied him all afternoon. Dul takes the remaining night flight one seat away. His heart is steady will do the things that Mr. Wirya suggested to him.

When Mr. Wirya made his suggestion, Dul fell silent. The old man raised one eyebrow in a joke. “Why? Doubt it? You don't have to think too far. There are only two possibilities. If you try, you have two possibilities. It worked and it didn't work. If you don't try, you only have one possibility. Just didn't make it. And Akung think this is worth trying.”

That week was not much time to prepare for a risky surprise for Annisa and their relationship. If previously Annisa said she was too soft and slow, Dul felt this time Annisa had to be too busy with her action.

“See and wait aja,” said Dul one night while staring at a small object he had just bought.

Approaching Annisa's graduation day, it turns out that excitement and nervousness do not only belong to Dul. A twenty-one-year-old girl with naturally shoulder-length curly brown hair looks more nervous than her older brother.

“Mas is already at the airport, right? Do not miss the plane. I told you I should have gotten here yesterday. Ngeselin,” Mima's tirade.

And for every half hour he used to call Dul, Mima always got a warning, “Mima .. what could not Mas left calm on the way? Kaya did not meet at home. What is requested Mas Dul has been done yet?”

“Udah finished from earlier,” exclaims Mima as an answer. He had been pacing back and forth in Dul's room for the sake of doing some things. After being satisfied to see the work of her hand skills, Mima closed and locked the room.

“Why locked? I want to see,” said Ibra who appeared behind Mima.

Mima shook her head firmly. “Mbak was tired from that morning. Look at it tomorrow. Kan, tomorrow we're both gone. Live live from TKP. Don't be sad,” said Mima, pinching Ibra's two cheeks until her sister's hand was pulled over and meant to reply. Mima runs into the living room and hides next to Bara while holding her cheek. “Yeah, please. Ibra to nyubit cheek.”

“Mbaknya want nyubit but do not want to be pinched,” said Bara relaxed. “Tonight do not sleep too late. Tomorrow we can't be late.”

Mima then took off her cheek and sat down next to Bara. “If her father Mbak Nisa refused Mas Dul how, Dad? I can't sleep thinking that. Kasian Mas Dul and Mbak Nisa.”

Sejah comes with a tray of fried tofu and a cup of tea for Bara. “This is the tea, Well,” said Sejah, thrusting a cup of tea on Bara and then sitting next to her husband. “Commonably Mas Dul.” Colored into Mima's cheeks.

“That's the sign I love Mas Dul. I'm afraid Mas Dul was rejected.” Mima hugged Bara's arm and drowned her face there. “Just Mas Dul should marry as soon as possible Mbak Nisa.”

“Because they've been dating so late, Mom. Kasian Ma'am Nisa. As a woman, I felt what she felt. Mbak Nisa might be the boss with Mas Dul. Breaking-connecting-ignoring, make sprains.”

“No one is always one frequency all the time. There are always times of opposites and fighting. Most importantly the two people could always find a reason to re-unite the rhythm.” Bara said after sipping her warm tea.

“Why, anyway, do people like to have different opinions? Wouldn't it be easier to agree? Surely it will be adem if there is no different opinion.” Mima spoke with her head still leaning against Bara's arm.

The colon who sat next to Bara was seen leaning more and more towards her husband's shoulder. It appears Ibra in the other corner is leaning against the shoulder of the colonized.

“Our choice will not always be accepted by others. If one path we take does not make people approve of our choices, we must find another way. The important thing if you have chosen, we must be responsible for our choice.” Bara turned to the left and right where his wife's son was struggling.

“I can't wait for tomorrow,” said Ibra. “By the way ... Why do we have to leave all? Dul is afraid to be alone?”

“If Akung says, anyway, let it seem fair. Nisa's mom was there with her parents. Mas Dul must also be accompanied by parents so that his activities are considered legal. Come to think of it funny. Mas Dul's love story is horrendous" said Mima.

“Hopefully your love story is not horrendous. Every day I pray for it.” Seized hands again stepped over Bara's body to reach Mima's cheek and pinch her.

Dijah's words made Mima pause for a moment. He was reminded of his relationship with a lover who was actually similar to Dul. Disconnect is not clear as a signal in the interior. Mima pursed her lips and hugged her father's arm.

Dul arrived home late at night while his two sisters were sleeping. After finishing telling a little of his plan tomorrow, Dul took a bath and rested. And like going to face the trial pantuhir, Dul restless can not sleep. The same thing happened to Annisa elsewhere. Both can't sleep. Even though they had finished replying to the message, in fact they both did not immediately fall asleep. Dul keeps asking if tomorrow will go according to plan? While Annisa kept asking how Dul melted his heart?

The morning finally came. Dul stands in front of a tall glass framed brown heritage from his father which is said to have existed since the days of great-grandfather. His father said, “Before going to marry your mother, Dad set himself in front of that glass long enough. And ijab kabul smoothly jaya.” Dul wants to get positive energy from the memento story.

With the full uniform of the Air Force daily service clothes, Dul smiled staring at his reflection. “All must be smooth,” he said, looking at every corner of his uniform. A blue outfit with shoulders embedded in two golden stripes and two wings embedded in the left chest certainly adds to his confidence. “I can definitely take home Annisa,” he added. He grabbed his hat and went to the car where his family was waiting.

It turned out that morning was not just their little family. But ….

“Dul! Pakdhe take the road ahead, yes.” Heru props up his car first after getting a nod from Dul. In Heru's car there is Fifi, Mr. Wirya, Bu Yanti and Sukma his father's sister.

“May her papa Annisa not feel intimidated,” whispered Dul, grimacing.
