HAPPY READING
“Assalamu aleikum.”.
The couple who were relaxing stared at the door before answering the greeting that had just been said.
“Waalaikum greetings,” Edo replied.
“Waalaikum greetings.” Heni did the same thing her husband did.
If usually Andre immediately cheered, for some reason now he feels reluctant when setting foot in his parents' house.
“Tumben remember going home? No one to accompany in the apartment anymore?” sarcasm Heni who still remembers how he caught his son wet brought the woman in his apartment.
Andre continued his steps and to join his mother's father.
“Can I no longer make this house a home destination?” andre asked when he joined his parents.
“Sini..” Heni patted the spot next to him asking that Andre sit there.
Without answering, Andre immediately did as his mother asked. Not stopping there, after Andre sat beside him, Heni pulled the tall body of his only child and laid Andre's head on his lap.
“It feels like a long time ago Mama didn't hug you like this.” Heni said as he touched the top of her child's head.
“It has been a long time Ma, because Andre has not been with us since graduating High School,” continued Edo.
Heni gently stroked Andre's head. Andre's reflex closed his eyes as Heni treated him like this.
“We've missed too much time Son. Forgive Mama Papa who made you have to feel the hard work when you still need our hugs and affection,” Heni added.
Andre who was originally on his back immediately tilted his body. Hearing Heni's words made her tears just pop out. Just a speck but for a man this is already an extraordinary event.
“What have you eaten yet?” he asked Andre.
“Already Ma...”
“Eat first yes. You haven't eaten in this house in a long time, ” Heni said.
“Newly also a week ago Andre stayed here,” said Andre reminded.
“Iya also. But don't you miss this home cooking?” ask Heni.
“Ya misses anyway.”
“Oh yes, our son already has a girlfriend loh Pa...” said Heni when he just remembered he had never discussed this issue with his husband.
Andre did come for this, but he did not expect that his mother would discuss it this early.
“Really? Is there a young marriage plan?” Edo asked with a shady look.
Andre immediately rose from his mother's lap. He sat down nervously which was so felt.
My God, I did come to ask for their blessing, but why would I hesitate to say everything this time when my mom had opened access to discuss this.
“Ma, Andre is hungry,” Andre said suddenly.
“She said she ate?”
Andre scratched his non-itchy nape. “It turns out Andre is hungry now,” he said later.
“Basic brat.”
Heni nagged before finally walking into the kitchen to prepare food for his son. Despite the nagging, he still did what his son asked. And that's how most mama is.
As soon as Heni went to the kitchen, Andre was now living alone with the father. Andre is observant and thorough. One of the other advantages that he has is that he is quite sensitive and good at reading situations. This is not something that God gives him for free, but the result of education
Edo as his papa.
“Someone you want to talk about?” edo asked as he stared fixedly at his only son.
Andre looked at Edo. “Pa..”
Edo got up and sat down beside his son. He placed his hand on Andre's shoulder. “Do you need space to be able to talk?”
Edo was really looking forward to this, but he did not want to force and let Andre overcome everything.
Andre swallowed his saliva. How could he hurt such a good person.
“Pa..”
“Don't be forced if you can't yet.” cut Edo who is sure if his son saves something heavy.
Now Andre feels like crying if he doesn't remember that he's a man.
There was a cry from the dining room. Andre did not answer, he also refused to shuffle from his seat.
Edo just moved his head and Andre began to rise to approach the mother.
“Andre..”.
Andre turned to look at the father who was still loyal in his place. “You are a man. Fate does not allow you to be weak. Don't disappoint Papa by being an irresponsible man.”
Andre took a long breath. Then he breathed it out strongly. “Thanks Pa..”
Andre continued his steps to approach the mother. Somehow the next scenario, which is clear he will try to be who his papa asks for.

“What's chat? Long time?” rina asked when she saw Dika had just appeared in her room.
“You know?” Instead of answering, Dika asked back.
“Know,” Brief Rina.
“Who said?” ask Dika again.
“Rista," replied Rina was still as economical as before.
“Rista says what?” Dika asked back.
Rina sighed. Dika has not answered his question at all, but instead he continues to ask without stopping. “Say you again in the workspace video call same old temen. Who the hell?”
Dika sighed. It turns out his sister still can't make peace with Dedi and his past.
“Siapaaa?” ask Rina curiously.
“Dedi,” Reply Dika briefly.
Lina closed her mouth. “How much does Rista react? Did they chat?”
“Boro-boro chat, just saw it immediately blur,” replied Dika.
This husband and wife stared at each other for a while, then they simultaneously shuddered their shoulders together.
“Rista story something is not the same you?” ask Dika.
Rina shook her head. “I also felt strange when he returned. Suddenly he was silent, uh did not know Dedi who was the cause.”
Dika who was originally sitting on the edge of the bed shuffled to enter under the same blanket as his wife. He then carried Rina's tiny body into his arms.
“They're actually how?” ask her husband.
“Entahlah..”.
“Kok I don't know?”
“Yes I have to answer how dong. I really don't know.”
“Ya as Rista's sister and best friend Dedi cook you do not know anything and do not want to do anything. They're both people close to you?”
“Yes they're already on big babe. Rista has grown up, and Dedi. Yes you know, I even often ask her for help to solve various types of problems.”.
Rina remained silent. His mind drifted to a time where he and Dika were still not an official couple. Dedi had to work hard to keep them from sin. Although Dedi is not a perfect man, but he is quite big. So no wonder if this husband feels hesitant if he has to patronize this sahat.
“Keep your plan how?” ask Rini.
“What plan is it?”
“Ya your plans make them.”
“Dedi equals Rista?” rina explained.
“Iya..”
Dika tightened his embrace. “Whatever they choose, at least I believe that Dedi will not go crazy on Rista like Andre did on Hana.”
“Oh yes, Andre tidings same How?” hana asked as she remembered the couple.
He regretted what he just said. “Udah stop. Do not get stressed because you think too much about others. Now relax yes, let my child grow well here,” said Dika so that Rina does not continue to invite him to talk about others.
Dika slowly rubbed Rina's stomach. “Good baby yes.. Mama same Papa wait for you here..”.
Rina returned Dika's embrace and the two started to close their eyes.
Seriate…
