ATIQA
Chapter 28: Eyang Kakung


Ardi just walked into the house. The day has changed night. His steps stopped when he saw both his parents and his grandfather were sitting in the living room.


"That's..." Ardi greeted his grandfather with a warm embrace.


"Where from? it's new night to come home. You didn't skip school, did you?" asked Grandpa Ardi after patting the room next to him for his grandson to sit down.


"There's a problem at school. Ardi took a minute. I'm sorry, Ardi came home late" Ardi said with his grandfather. Polite and gentle. Papa Mama still remained silent but their gazes were sharp. They know where their son is going.


"When did you come?" tanya Ardi, because her grandfather had returned to live in his hometown in Jogja 3 years ago. All companies are managed by the Papa, Sigit Danurdara.


"So noon. Waiting for you to go home from school but not coming home. Or do you have a boyfriend? what's name?" his grandfather was that familiar with Ardi.


Ardi looked at his parents. Sigit and Anne have given the code to keep Ardi quiet, not discussing Atiqah. But Ardi's stubborn attitude made him reluctant to grasp the intent of Sigit and Anne's gaze.


"Atiqah.the name is Atiqah eyang" Sigit and Anne glared.


"Arm!!" Anne blurted with emphasis.


Grandpa Ardi just wanted to hear his grandson's story. "Atiqa? name's good. One school?" Ardi nodded steadily with a smile.


"Yes eyang...Atiqah Ardi's younger brother in school. She is beautiful and one that is certain, Eyang will immediately like it if he sees Atiqah. She was very modestly rich-eye uti" Anne sneered to hear her son flattering Atiqah. While Sigit is grieving.


Simple? his name is poor, his style is just that. Not level. Inner Anne.


"Mosos? (Java(time))" Ardi nodded quickly.


"Benefit.later Ardi knewin to eyang. When to get to Jakarta?" incidentally his grandfather came, Ardi did not have to bother to meet his grandfather to Java.


"Maybe a week. Curious about your boyfriend. Tomorrow we'll take you to school?" His grandfather was excited to meet and get acquainted with his grandson's girlfriend.


"Atiqah is not an eye school. Again hospitalized. Ardi returned home from the hospital, atiqah jengukin" Anne and Sigit increasingly furious hearing the chatter of the two.


"Bapi rest first, it's too late" Anne interrupted the chatter of another generation.


"Yes Pi.already malem. From nyampe earlier, papi has not rested. The conversation continued tomorrow again" Sigit coaxed his father.


"okay...Eyang slept in Ardi's room. Let's go in the room?!" the old man got up with his stick with Ardi.


"Bye Mama Papa.." winked one eye, mocking Anne and Sigit. Ardi felt victorious with the arrival of his grandfather.


Ardi helped his grandfather climb the stairs one by one to his room on the second floor.


"Grandfather wants a continuation of your boyfriend. Eyang ready to put the ears until morning" seloroh the old man.


"Every eye, but not until the morning too. Tomorrow Ardi school. The next week of the exam" Ardi opened the door to his room, letting his grandfather inside.


Another thing with Anne and Sigit who have now entered the room, talking about his son who is ready to seduce his grandfather. Two different generations of people who do have more closeness and always be allies.


"Papa saw himself, how Ardi asked Papi's support subtly. You bad boy! Very mama sprain. They're both the same. How are we supposed to Pa?" Anne expressed her heartbreak.


"We'll see what tomorrow is. Mama also knows that Papi and Ardi klop" Sigit and Anne really know the nature of the child and also his father.


"Udah malem ma, sleeping. We need a lot of energy to bring the old man and his grandson tomorrow" Turn off the headlights and turn on the sleeping lights with the remote. Sigit had already pulled his blanket up to his chest.


"okay.oke. Good nite Pap" Anne did the same. They both slept differently. Anne is on the left side while Sigit is on the right.


"Good nite Ma"


Both of Ardi's parents have picked up dreams, different from him and his grandfather. They are still chatting. Everything is discussed, especially about Atiqah.


"Oh so your Papa doesn't like Atiqah because it's just a factory employee's son?" Ardi nodded. "Snick" is upset by the attitude of his son and daughter-in-law.


"Papa to Atiqah's house humiliates his family eyang. So the neighbor spectacle. Papa threatened them too. His father and mother could not let us have a relationship, all because of Papa" Ardi complained about his Papa's behavior. The plan had started from the first chat when meeting grandfather in the family room earlier. His only path is his grandfather.


"Relax.for Papa and your Mama's business to be an eye business. Tomorrow afternoon pick up. We went to Atiqah Hospital. Who wants to prove to himself, is it true that what you said about your girlfriend is similar to eyang uti" The old man imagined his wife who was dead.


"Ready eye. Thanks though. Ardi dear eyang kakung" hugged his grandfather.


*****


"Later noon pick up. We look at Atiqah" said Grandpa Ardi at breakfast together.


"Fire..." Anne interrupted. His father-in-law looked at him dislikeingly.


"The opo? (What)..w**es (already), you two don't need to interfere. I'm the one who wants to know Ardi's girlfriend. Durung met nanging wes talking ora seneng (not acquaintance but have said not like)" grumbled the old man, while eating chicken porridge. Anne closed her mouth tightly. Followed her husband's arm.


"But Pi..." Sigit tried to speak.


"Opo? (what else). I don't want to hear a fuss about Ardi's girlfriend. Your son's a teenager, ojo dielii (just let it go). Enjoy your teenage years yo le" rubbing Ardi's arm. Ardi nodded with a smile then glanced at Anne and Sigit.


Anne and Sigit lost when faced with Subroto, their father and in-law.


"It's time for Ardi to leave. Don't be late for Ardi, will you?" Ardi retreated his chair, saying goodbye by kissing the back of his hand and then kissing the cheeks of his parents.


"Eh.both of you. Shut here! Your work is done. Don't follow my grandson. Let Ardi drive" Broto points at the two bodyguards who usually follow Ardi to school.


"But Pi..." Anne protest.


"You are in them! Don't hold my grandson. Let him be free to hang out with anyone. Ardi wasn't the president's son to be escorted anywhere" Anne immediately shut her mouth, her guts shriveled.


"Bare Papi. I'm leaving" Sigit was upset, still this early had heard his father's babble.


"Pa.." whining Anne. Following her husband to the porch.


"Follow what Papi said. Mama should also leave, take care of your salon. Rather than at home, the more dizzy with the babbling of the old man" whispered Sigit and then entered his car.


Seriate...
