A Pair of Space Wings

A Pair of Space Wings
Cloud Decision


Dikdik was buried that afternoon which was only attended by Arum, his mother, and the Abian family. Returning from the funeral, Abian still held the Angkasa celamatan event and Arum pregnancy, with the presence of extended family and neighbors.


Arum's pregnancy, which has entered the age of eight months, is certainly a source of gossip from neighbors who have just come to the event. Like the chatter of mothers whose homes are on the outskirts of the housing complex Abian and Delia, they carry besek in two hands, a woven bag containing groceries and food, and one bag ala-ala perched for hundreds of thousands containing make-up, mukena, and hijab.


"The rich are so, there is no shame in getting pregnant out of wedlock."


"Heeh, put on a diving show and ngundang many more."


"Eh the horrors that his son just survived death. Good thing it is still in love opportunity, if not? Hiii is surely Hell its place."


"Yes, I'm horrified that I didn't survive."


"Yes, people today, not old not young, there is money they like chek-in there, chek-in here. But I'm glad to be invited to a rich man's thanks, the besek must have the envelope."


"About an envelope like that usually isn't?" They compactly checked the bags they were carrying, usually Delia tucked in an envelope containing money.


"Well, just fifty grand. Usually Delia's mom takes a hundred grand."


"Hooh yeah. Did they fall into poverty for the treatment of their children?"


"Perhaps, let alone his treatment in Arabia. Know for yourself the cost there, have not eaten and the host. Doctors, drugs, etc., and I'm dizzy with her."

Finished the show at Abian and Delia's house. Arum and Angkasa left for Nining's house, because there was also a small tahlilan that was only attended by mr. rt and some neighbors, considering that Nining still lives in a small rented house.


"Let's just rest in the room. You must be a soybean," Angkasa did not let go to embrace Arum and rubbed his wife's stomach.


They were driven to Nining's house.


"I'm not papa, I'm not doing it either."


"If you don't do anything, you must be tired here and there."


Putting his head on the chest of the husband's field, Arum felt his guts. "Yes, I'll be in my room." Angkasa kisses the head of Arum, hugs, rubs the arms of the wife, gives comfort.


Actually Nining does not matter if Arum and Angkasa do not come, he understands the situation Arum, but Arum pity if he left his mother alone, especially after Dikdik's death.


That night, Angkasa wanted to stay at Nining's house, even though he had to sleep on an uncomfortable sofa.

"So you decided to marry Reini in a month?"


After last night deciding to marry Reini, Awan only had time to tell Delia and Abian after all the events in his house were finished.


"Yes, Ma." The cloud answered briefly.


"Then Mama will contact Aunt Voni. When will the application event be held at the same time determine the date of marriage."


"All the Clouds leave Mama and Dad. The clouds will only focus on Cloud's work for a while now, Dad it's time to rest." After saying that, Clouds came out of her parents' second room, going upstairs to her room.


As it passed through the Space Chamber, the Cloud stopped its steps. There is envy at the romanticization of his twin brother's family, the sense of Arum is still there, but he must keep it to himself at any time.


"Don't you feel like there's something weird about the Clouds, honey?" Abian was ready to sleep in his pajamas. Waiting for Delia who was doing her facial treatment to look beautiful even though she would soon become a grandmother, Abian leaned on the head of the bed.


"Weird how?" Delia looked at Abian from the reflection of the glass.


"His face was not eager to discuss marriage." Abian realized that.


"Maybe it's because he's a soybean, Bi. After returning from Dubai, we go to the holy land, the clouds must go straight to work. And now it should be discussing marriage as well."


"You better ask first, whether the Cloud really has been steady with his choice or not?" Abian gave input. "I'm actually proud that our kids don't become jerks, they don't change partners. Loyal to one woman and responsible for their love. But I'm afraid they don't have any experience with women, actually getting to know a wide variety of women at a young age doesn't matter as long as it's positive. To feel what it feels like to be heartbroken, it feels like to fall in love many times. I'm afraid it'll be bad after the wedding."


Delia thought about her husband's words.


"Why are you talking about that now? Is there something wrong with how I educate them?"


"It's not so dear. I just feel like there's some coercion from the Clouds, try asking and making sure, before it's too late, and before you talk to Voni."


Delia agreed with her husband's statement, she had to inquire about the steadiness of the Awan's heart.


"Jude, I'm asking you right now." Delia is coming out.


"Tomorrow. It's late now, you also have to rest a lot. Coming home from Dubai you haven't rested at all." Abian reminded, he is the one who pays the most attention to his wife. Although now Delia a little annoying, but Delia always prioritizes serving the needs of mama Amanda and papa Philips Hamzah when they are home.


After knocking on the door and already being allowed in, Delia walked in. The clouds just finished bathing.


"Mama's not bothering you, is she?" Smiling at the Clouds, closing the door. He took over the small towel the Clouds were holding. "Mama help me to cool down."


Not to refuse, Awan sat on the sofa at the end of the bed.


"What do you want to say, Ma?" I know if there's anything her mother's talking about.


"You know Mama wants to say something." Delia started rubbing the Cloud's hair. "You have no savings to ask Reini?"


"H Mama, it's Mama's responsibility. The clouds have just started working."


"Yes too. Very fragrant Mama's hair, when was the last time Mama wanted your hair?"


"A year ago, Cloud time hurt."


"You know what," Delia wanted to shed tears, imagining that one by one her children would leave her, after she saw the empty space. "Is there anything Mama doesn't know about you, Wan? You don't want to be a failed parent, don't know your child is having problems."


The clouds turned around, taking Delia's hand.


"Mama why?"


"Mama is afraid that you're hiding something from Mama."


Clouds are silent, he'll be honest with his mother.


"At first the Clouds were doubtful, Ma. But the cloud has already made up its mind."


Delia cupped the face of the Clouds. "Don't continue if you have doubts, dear. Do not be wrong in making decisions. It's not too late, Mama's gonna finish it all."


Clouds shake. "No, Ma. Now that the Cloud is steady, the Cloud will accept any lack of Cloud pair. The clouds want to be like Dad, to be a real man."


Delia. "But Mama doesn't want you to be tormented if it turns out Reini is not as good as you think. Space incident makes Mama aware of many things, Mama does not want you to regret later."


"Marriage is not an easy thing, not like courtship, tired of staying broken up, there are problems left behind. I don't want my mom's son to be like that."


"The trial marriage is amazing, not a day two days, a month two months, or a year. But a lifetime of trials is always there, whether the ordeal comes from you or your partner, so it must be carefully thought out."


Silent cloud. Down, thinking of her mother's advice.


"Mama believes in the Clouds, Ma. As bad as Reini will be, as long as she doesn't have another dream man, the Clouds will accept him for who he is. Like the Space that accepts Arum as it is, though many people doubt Arum."


Delia hugged the Clouds. "Mom wish you all the best, my dear. Forgive the imperfect Mama for being your mother and educating you."

Out of the Cloud room, Delia checked Aira's room, Andini herself did not come home tonight, Denisa asked to accompany her. Aira's room was empty, her only daughter was willing to go to her theme house.


Gosh, taking care of her two sons, Delia was almost bawled watching her daughter.


While descending, along with that Aira came home, Delia breathed a sigh of relief.


"Just want Mama lockin if you don't come home in ten minutes." Reprovedly.


"But Aira came home in time." The boy answered, kissing the back of his hand.


"Aira went straight to the room, Ma. Sleepy." Delia rubbed Aira's shoulders.


"Eh Aira, wait." Call her when Aira has climbed the stairs.


"Yes, Ma."


"Mom ask for help with you, baby. Please take care of the trust of Mama and Dad, Mama and I never limit you, as long as you can take care of yourself, but Mama actually failed your sister. I hope it doesn't happen to you."


"Yes, Ma."


Delia nodded, allowing her son to board, and she returned to the room.


Aira was still standing, feeling guilty for lying to her mother, lending her a car to her lover. In reality her lover was cheating on her with her own best friend who yesterday reported to her.


What makes Aira even more devastated, it turns out that his best friend was in two bodies, he did that so that Aira knew the affair of her lover and immediately married her. Because the man does not want to take responsibility for his actions.


"Huh, my savings run out to get rid of the Space car they pawned."
