Waiting for Love to Return

Waiting for Love to Return
Partner in crime Andra


The joking and laughter rang out from within the luxurious house of Bimo. Inside there is a celebration of Andra's graduation with a cumlaude degree.


Which parents are not proud of their children. It happened to Bimo and Leela they were proud of Andra, the child who often made him bother in childhood is now growing up and living with a proud achievement.


As a form of thanksgiving, Bimo and Leela invite close relatives to interfere in their happiness. Leela's parents and Bimo's parents were also present, close relatives who were familiar with them and Arga's best friend and sister-in-law of the wife were also present.


He comes with Shepa and Kai-daughter from their marriage. While Kia said she would come a little late considering she had to do group work with her friends.


"Waaah congratulations, business management scholar" said Arga, who had just arrived and patted Andra on the shoulder.


"Thank you, Om."


"It's time your papi retired" whispered Arga again.


Andra laughed while Bimo felt being talked about by his son and his best friend.


"Duuuhh, time has passed. Feels yesterday you were still a bulky boy who whined to come make a sister." Andra and Shepa both laughed. "Eh, it's this big now. It's time to make your own adek. When's marriage?" ask Shepa typical mothers next door neighbors.


"Loh instead of congratulations, Auntie even asked when the wedding. Kia's not coming, Tan?"


"Yes, I'm safe" Shepa ruffled Andra's hair, "He said he was on the way. Biasaah High School today a lot of his duties. Auntie go in first."


"Alright please enjoy, Tan."


Shepa and Arga mingled with the relatives present. As always when mothers are busy discussing the latest fashion models, keeping the body attractive in front of the husband includes discounts on holiday tickets, including, so the fathers will discuss how to produce large purses to please his wives.


Other mothers, other fathers, others also with Andra and his followers.


Andra and her sister and distant cousins sat in a circle on a carpet that was deliberately titled. Andra played the guitar that her cousin brought and sang along. Only Kia has not joined.


While the girl was in a taxi that was stuck in traffic.


The taxi drove very slowly, and it made Kia feel an overwhelming annoyance.


When the distance from the taxi to Bimo house about 600 meters again. He quickly paid for his taxi and then he got down and ran as fast as he could. Fortunately, he was wearing long pants.


Everyone stared at the arrival of Kia who looked boring. The girl displayed her row of white teeth because her appearance was the most different from the others. Sweat on his forehead.


"Aren't the dogs chased?" ask Andra while approaching.


Kia still set her breath to answer Andra's question. "I ... a moment ..."


"Oh yeah, have a drink." One of their relatives' children gave Kia a drink.


Kia immediately grabbed and finished it. Andra just shook her head looking at Kia's behavior. Though he knew, Kia was born from a pair of calm humans. Wiji and Shepa. But the more here Kia's attitude even looks like Arga-his stepfather. Casingnya gesrek, fierce, judes but his heart is good. That's Andra's assessment of Kia who is still sitting in the first grade of High School one year under the Andra Brothers.


"Have you?" tanya Andra received the empty glass that Kia offered. "Girls are like this."


"Eiiitttss like teacher like student. Brother Andra taught me to be like this."


"When?"


"As long as I played with Andra's brother during that time I also learned from brother.


"Complacent, where is possible." Andra clenched Kia's forehead making the girl complain.


"Sister, I'm hungry to be able to eat yet?"

After all the gathering, Bimo took the time to talk.


"Alhamdulillah for a moment we forget the busyness of each of us by taking the time to be present at this event. Small thanks for the graduation of our eldest son, Andra Aditya Kusumo as a business management scholar. I as the host apologized if it turns out that the dish we serve is not in accordance with each taste. That seems to be all I want to say. Once again congratulate you on your achievement, son."


A round of applause fell on Andra who was standing beside Kia.


"Ki, we're like a couple of brides, yes" whispered Andra.


"Sir Andra only once, I'm not that bad."


Guests are welcome to enjoy the meal.


At eleven in the evening guests began to dwindle. There are only a few left.


"So what's the plan after this, Dra?" ask Arga.


"Married."


All eyes stared at Andra who was engrossed in her food. Feeling noticed Andra turned left and right. "Why look at me like that. Is something wrong?"


"You're aware of what you said just now, Andra?" This time Wijaya spoke.


"What did I say?" Andra was still relaxed.


Oh my God Andra handsome tulalit yes. Leela and Bimo looked at each other and shook their heads. Obviously, if Wijaya is talking, it means that everyone must follow his rules.


"Married." No one dared to speak up if Wijaya was talking seriously.


"I said it like that, Cake."


"You think grandpa's deaf? Even though age is old but age is just a number and my hearing still works well. Do you have any other plans besides getting married?"


Andra did not have a plan, it was just a spontaneous answer. Now he was at a loss for himself to answer what. To the extent that he scratches the part of the ear that does not itch.


Tresna rubbed her husband's hand to ease her anger. "Don't be angry now I forgot to take your high blood medicine. Don't let you be their laughingstock."


Ah right too.


"Well, how's your school?" Wijaya turned the question to Kia.


"Me?" Kia pointed at herself.


"Who else has Kia's name?"


Wijaya shook his head. "Young people today are so happy to make me bleed."


"If it goes up stay in the love of the stairs let it go down" Andra said.


"Andra." Bimo's voice signals the child to be quiet.


"I'm just kidding."


"Listen yes all of you ... I-"


"I forgot. Your PR is not finished yet. Let's help you do it." Andra cut off her grandfather's speech and winked as a code on Kia.


Kia who memorized the code immediately nodded. "I-iya cake. I'm authorized to do it now."


"You think I don't know your bad sense. Not mempan. Sit down and listen to me talk." Wijaya pointed to the seat of the two children who were already standing


"Grandfather can read this message." Kia showed a message from her friend about the task to be collected tomorrow morning. That was chat last afternoon.


Arga held a smile. He knew it was just Andra's wits and would definitely involve his stepchildren.


"Kia!" Shepa reprimanded his daughter by shaking his head.


"Mama plis this is real I'm not lying."


"Already!" Wijaya. Men whose age has entered the age of twilight but looks still dashing sports blessings, and keep the diet staring Andra and Kia alternately. "What PR do you have to do."


"Journal accounting." Andra and Kia answered compactly. They are like partners in crime and need each other.


Andra and Kia do hi five after getting away from their family.


"Successfully."
