A Place to Return
Where to Return *39
"But, why did papi have to come to the graduation? Is there a Papi family who graduated there now?" mami Sanjaya said with emotion and did not accept that her husband attended Anggie's graduation.
Papi who had just arrived was immediately shocked when he heard what his wife said. He is not only physically tired but also tired of bathin when he finds out how much his own biological child hates him. Though until the time before Anggie says what is in his heart, Mr. Sanjaya still hopes Anggie still loves him like he used to. Mr. Sanjaya did not expect much, quite a bit, but it turned out that it did not happen at all. Anggie was really disappointed in him.
"What do you mean? Papi does not understand" replied Papi while choosing to sit on the sofa in the hospital room.
"Papi don't pretend to be so begok Papi. Don't pretend you don't know. Mami knows everything Papi. Papi where all day until papi forget that today is the day that the results of the examination Kayla our son" said Mami who was upset with Papi's behavior was more concerned about attending Anggie's graduation the child of a person he hated so much than seeing a doctor and hearing what pain Kayla suffered
"Sorry, so what's Kayla sick?" ask Papi who does not remember that today the results of the second Kayla lab came out.
"No need to answer Mommy, my pain is not important. Papi has started to forget me" Kayla said, starting to return to her very dramatic drama.
Papi got up from the chair he was sitting in, he walked towards the hospital bed to meet Kayla who was lying weakly there.
"Darling don't say that. Forgive Papi. Not Papi as you think. Papi attended the graduation ceremony because Papi from the past was a regular donor and never attended graduation during this time." Papi tried to explain to Kayla as well as he could.
Mr. Sanjaya does not want his son to be emotional and angry and hate him, as Anggie has stated very clearly that he hates Mr. Sanjaya.
"Especially the one who invited Papi to come was Mr. Wijaya. Is it possible that Papi refused an invitation from your future in-laws dear?" ask Papi who takes refuge behind the name of Mr. Wijaya. Papi was very confident that if he carried the name of Mr. Wijaya, then Kayla would not be so scolded him.
"Well, Papi, this time Kayla forgive. But next time Kayla hopes Papi doesn't forget Kayla again, as important as Papi's activities. Papi promise? " replied Kayla who felt herself too tired to fuss with Papi just because Papi did not come when the doctor told her about the illness.
"Bapi promise dear. Papi will attach more importance to your interests than to others." Papi said he made a solemn promise to Kayla.
"Well, now it's your turn to answer Mami's question. What pain are you, son?" papi asked gently while sitting on the chair that had been placed near Kayla.
"The doctor said it was just Papi's typhoid, probably from exhaustion" Kayla replied, holding her Papi's hand. Kayla is very grateful to have Mr. Sanjaya in her entirety now. All this time he had to share two with Anggie, but since that incident, he already has Mr. Sanjaya completely
"Hem okay" Papi commented with a smile.
Mr. Sanjaya was very grateful in his heart because his daughter did not suffer from a severe illness. Especially when seeing how Kayla was when she was taken to the hospital.
"Cok okay Papi? Papi didn't listen to Kayla's examination?" asked Mami who was very sensitive when she heard the answer given by Papi to Kayla.
"Did Papi imagine that Kayla should have gotten worse. Is that?" continued Mami still with her emotions exploding.
Mami still did not accept the reason Papi who said that Papi went to the graduation ceremony because he was invited by Mr. Wijaya and they also happened to be the same donors at the University.
"Mommy, what the hell is this Mommy. Don't look for any more noise Mommy. I'm tired" Papi said in a firm tone.
"Mommy think I'm out there playing? I'm out there working. Although I attended graduation, but it was part of my job to make the company more famous." continued Papi with emotion.
"Never have the thought that I'm out there just playing. No. I don't play. I work"
Papi was really sick of hearing everything Mami said to him. The reason for the reason that does not make sense and also only makes Papi offended.
"Atau Mami deliberately said that so that I was hostile to Kayla?" ask Papi again while looking at Mami.
Mami lowered her head deeply inside she just this time saw her husband was this angry. During this time whenever Mami gets angry, papi will just be quiet.
Mami fell silent. "I'm sorry" Mami said in a soft voice. Mami did not think that Papi was ultimately angry because of the mistake of Mami herself.
Papi ignored Mami's apology. Papi prefers to chat with Kayla only. Papi thinks Mami is not between the two of them. Papi and Kayla shared the story with passion, Kayla's face hue has returned a little recovered from the previous condition.

"Mama, someone wants Angie to ask. What can?" anggie asked as they were having a casual chat in the front garden of the house.
Because today is a holiday, so that makes Anggie have a lot of time to talk to Mama while cleaning the front garden that has a lot of weeds.
"May darling. What do you want to ask?" mama replied while still pulling the grass that was in the flower pot.
"When you meet Mr. Sanjaya, how do you feel?" anggie asked very carefully, afraid that her mother would be offended by Anggie's question.
"Almost the same as you, baby. The most regret filled my heart at that time" Mama replied with a smile.
"This is sorry Ma. Does Mama still love Mr Sanjaya?" ask Anggie who mentioned her father's name directly.
"The feeling is no longer love or what is its name" replied Mama
"What's up?" ask Anggie more eager to find out the taste in the heart of his mother for the person who has made his mother disappointed.
"The only feeling is gratitude" Mama replied.
"Why? Anggie doesn't understand. Thank you for what?" asked Anggie who did not understand the answer given by his mother.
"Thank you for bringing you into your life" Mama replied again
"If there is no one, of course there will be no child who makes this Mama proud" continued Mama again.
"Ye pinter times make me flattered" said Anggie
"real darling. If there is no you and this problem occurs as well, then Mama will choose to go home. Won't want to be in the same city, pulling the same air as the one who's already hurt Mama so much" Mama explained to Anggie how she felt so great affection for her son and how important Anggie was in his life.
"So that means Anggie's really important in Mama's life?" ask Anggie while looking at her mother and give Mama a very beautiful smile.
"Don't ask Mama. You know the answer" Mama replied again.
The two of them then continued the clean work of the front garden. Mama and Anggie share their story. The most dominant storytelling is Anggie. Anggie tells how his students on campus are very diverse. There are even those who have to sit in front continuously while studying with Anggie. Mama listened to all the stories of her daughter. Once Mama teased Anggie, when Anggie started telling her about her students' strange behavior.
"Ma wanna buy some meatballs?" anggie asked as she saw a meatball vendor passing by in front of their house.
"Can. Mama is also a meatball arm now" Mama replied enthusiastically.
Anggie called the meatballs and gave two servings of meatballs to himself and Mama. They'll have an afternoon meal with meatballs around. Actually, Anggie had cooked her favorite pessom fish and Mama, but the passing meatballs with a fragrant aroma that makes Anggie's taste to want to enjoy the meatballs.
