The Macau Love Story
Go on the way, visit the tomb

The day was getting late and the sky was getting late, with wind gusts entering the room through the window slit, the air that knew had changed at the beginning of winter made my skin suddenly dry and a little dull.

I repeatedly looked at myself through the mirror. I was wearing a moca-colored casual suit delivered from the Pandu mas this afternoon. I don't know in what order my great man gave this outfit through a courier, which obviously I didn't protest much and chose to obey his orders to immediately prepare himself with this outfit.

It could be mas Pandu told me to wear clothes like going to college.

But I salute you with Pandu. His taste at the moment is completely to my liking. Ever since I said that I don't like to wear clothes that show off my body too much, she seems to understand what kind of clothes I like. Like this shirt, of course, the clothes that wrapped my body slightly stretched, my white skin looked more stunning with a blend of moca-colored clothes.

I smiled satisfied with my appearance, as if impatiently waiting for Pandu mas who said thirty minutes more will arrive home.

"It's ready baby" suddenly the sound of the bus mas Pandu made me turn around.

"Where are we going?" tanyaku who was a little surprised because mas Pandu has changed his office costume with a white shirt and shorts. Casual clothes are the same as me more precisely. "Where are you changing clothes?"

"In restaurant"

I just remembered that the Pandu mas office is integrated with a restaurant, a work space on the third floor complete with rooms for rest mas Pandu when tired.

"Not all day at the hotel?"

"It was at the hotel, but it was noon to the restaurant because there was work there"

"Is there a problem?" manya curious.

"Nothing" he said as he took my hand. "Are you ready for the little guy?"

"Already" this afternoon was mas Pandu told me to pump my asi for Kellen's supplies and I don't know what it means.

"Then we go to the airport"

Mas Pandu's sentence made me frown, and as if understanding my confusion, he again made a sound.

"We're going to Jogja tonight?"

I flinch while fixedly staring at Mas Pandu, honestly his words are really beyond my expectations. It did not occur to me if today I would go to Jogja to visit my parents' graves.

"Serious mas?"

"Did your husband ever lie?"

I was silent, my gaze that was not separated from the face of Pandu mas, now shifted to one of his hands that was holding my left hand.

"How come, has everything been prepared?"

"Hemm, Rondi has been taking care of our passports and visas for the past two weeks"

"Why didn't you tell me, this was a sudden impression"

"You don't have to worry, baby, about Kellen and mom, we leave it to Btari and Clara. Delita and Alvin will also take care of Kellen later"

I don't know what to say, which is clear right now both my eyebrows are swooping sharply and my lips are pouting. Seeing that, mas Pandu even laughed off.

What try funny? surprise for him? and to me it's prank.

But in between his laughter, Pandu's hand reached into his pocket and grabbed something I knew was a diamond ring. Mas Pandu directly put it on my ring finger.

A wedding ring that Mas Pandu swapped with a new ring, because the old one was not fit on my finger considering my body was a little fat the effect of giving birth.

"Don't let go again"

"Mas think I took the ring off yesterday on purpose?"

Instead of answering, the man in front of me laughed

While I let it go, until slowly his laughter stopped by itself.

"We're leaving now?"

"But how's Kellen?"

"I told you someone took care of it, but if you want to cancel our departure, I'm happy"

I immediately threw a sharp gaze upon hearing the sentence that came out of his mouth.

I should have known, if mas Pandu is a hobby once pranking me, even at the beginning of our marriage first, he often made my heart kebat kebit because of his attitude. I like it makes me clumsy, and misbehavior to be upset like this.

"We've only been gone for two days, and the shabby has come back here, so don't worry about anything" he said flatly, a second later as Pandu brought his mouth close to my ear and whispered.

"We're enjoying two nights of honey that we haven't gulped in a long time, let's have fun without the distractions of the little boss"

His sentence made me a second conspiracy to instantly pinch his waist. Instead of getting angry because I had pinched her so hard, she just laughed and pulled me into her arms.

An hour's drive from home to the airport, we finally arrived at our destination. I feel like a dream, all these years I have felt the pain of my tantric act, now I really get the fruit of my patience all this time.

If I first boarded a plane from Jakarta to Macau with a sense of anxiety. Now on the contrary, I feel happy to enjoy the journey from Macau to Jogja which will transit first at Soekarno-Hatta airport. Moreover, this journey accompanied by mas Pandu, my happiness seems more and more with the figure of a handsome man who has inhabited my heart since I was a child.

"We have arrived" Whispered mas Pandu as I fell asleep on his shoulder. "We will change planes to Jogjakarta"

I blinked, then circulated the view out the window which turned out to be already in the area of one of the airports in Jakarta. Even though the plane had landed, but the wheels were still moving until it reached the right point to stop the plane.

"We're in Jakarta now" Pungkas mas Pandu.

A year later in Macau, I really miss my country, especially where I live.

"Let's get down!" Take it and hold my hand.

If it is currently in Macau the weather is very cool because of the beginning of winter, but here it is exactly the opposite.

I felt a tremendous heat as I waited for my boarding pass to get to my destination.

"Mas doesn't miss this place?" tanyaku.

"No" the answer prompted me to throw a cynical glare that made mas Pandu raise one eyebrow.

"What's? is there something wrong with my answer?"

"There's nothing wrong with anything you do or say"

"I don't miss this country, probably because I've lived in Macau for years, and there's no family here. But there is a typical eastern Indonesian, I always apply even though I live abroad. His friendly, polite and meek culture is what I always miss" said mas Pandu at length. "I will never forget the customs and culture of our country Nay, and will still recognize if Indonesia is my homeland. This is where I come from"

The last words of the Pandu mas, along with the voice of the operator who informed that the plane to Jogja will immediately make boardingpas.

We immediately got ready to go to the document checking area and queued to get a turn to enter the plane door.

Jakarta is my hometown. Unlike the Pandu mas who never missed this place, but I will always miss him because my parents are here.

This is where I am at the moment. We arrived at Jogja at about four in the morning. After a night of air travel, we headed to the hotel where we were staying. The next morning after breakfast, I took Pandu to visit the graves of my parents.

"Well, how are you doing?" I said while sprinkling flowers on top of the navel of mama and papa who were buried in one burrow. "Naya came with Mas Pandu, Naya's husband. Papa still remember the same brother Pipo who used to often nemenin Naya waiting for papa pick up, papa also often buy us ice cream, it turns out his name is mas Pandu pah" I paused my words not for anyone but for myself. "Now the man is my husband's reward, so you don't have to worry about Naya, she'll take the place of papa looking after Naya. For mama, stay happy yes there, mama does not know mas Pandu, but papa knows well and knows what mas Pandu like, so no need to worry about the fate of Naya. Naya is very happy pah, mah. We have also been blessed with boys. Next time, Naya's gonna take papa's granddaughter and mama to visit you"

Naya was a special beloved call from my parents, only they were the ones who called me that.

When it was quiet for a few minutes, Pandu suddenly crouched down, removed his dark glasses and rubbed the sign at the end of the tomb.

"Papa, mama" he said softly. "Naya is with me, I will take care of her and make her happy. I promise you a reward, mah, will not make him shed a single tear. Calm down there pah mah, Naya will be happy with me" said my husband, who sounded so sincere and soothing. Something that never stops for me to be grateful for when I meet the right man I love. A loving man and full of surprises, and I'm very happy to have him.

I have to admit, although famous for cold and indifferent men, but he is my great man, a man who has calmness and self-control above normal limits.

After praying for my parents, we cleaned the grave that was not maintained. Until thirty minutes passed, the tomb was already clean, me and Pandu were saying goodbye and left the tomb area.

I frowned when Pandu actually stepped foot into the house of a middle-aged man who became the caretaker of this tomb.

"You wait here" he told me.

I don't know what you want to do until you have to see him. But in the next minute I was moved when faintly heard Mas Pandu's conversation with the man. My heart warmed, and my eyes were hot, that very second a clear circle rolled from the corner of my eye.

"Please take care of the tomb at the end there" Mas Pandu pointed at my parents' grave with a helping hand. "Board named Rahma and Agung Ramadani, they are our parents, we will visit him once a year" he continued and grabbed the envelope from his pocket."And accept this as our thanks"

The man also confusedly received the envelope from the Pandu mas.

"We'll come again next year"

"Okay sir, I will take good care of the grave of the father's parents"

"Thank you"

After saying that, Pandu came up to me and took my hand. We both stepped towards the car that has been rented during our time here.

Just as I was about to open the car door, a pair of my neutrals caught an announcement on paper stuck on an electric pole.

A search announcement for Aunt Nancy and Laura. Even there it is written if you find the woman in the picture, to immediately contact the number listed in the notice and will get some money.

Seconds of my heart filled with questions.

When I looked towards Pandu mas while swallowing my saliva, I caught the look of wonder and curiosity that also appeared on the face of Pandu mas. I'm sure he has the same question as me.

What's wrong with them, Aunt Nancy and my cousin Laura?

Seriate...
