ATIQA
Chapter 65: Meeting Relatives

Atiqah drove Ardi to the airport. Along the way, he cried. Somehow Atiqah turned spoiled and sensitive.

"Udah dong Yang .. do not cry. Four more months I'm here" Ardi hugged Atiqah, patting her on the back.

"Four months is still a long time" he said in tears, drowning his face in Ardi's chest.

"No, just a moment. Patience" Ardi continued to try to calm Atiqah. Subroto and Thunder were silent, giving time for the two of them. Subroto occasionally cleared his throat. Thunder was still focused on staring at the road.

That afternoon the rain again flushed the city of Jogja. Thunder again remembered the voice of Atiqah and Ardi yesterday.

"Tur, ojo daydream. Lamp ijo" (Thunder, do not daydream. The light is green). Subroto patted Thunder on the shoulder. The traffic light had already changed but Thunder was still silent.

"Eyang Napunten" (sorry Eyang). Thunder nodded his head and drove back to the car.

Occasionally Thunder stole a glance into the middle row, seen Atiqah leaning on Ardi's shoulder.

Ardi. "His mind is focused on Thunder".

"Yes Mas" Thunder nodded. Thunder was caught red-handed because of his actions earlier.

Ardi rubbed Atiqah's hair and then kissed the back of the hand he held.

Thirty minutes later, the luxury black sedan had already stopped in front of the domestic departure gate. Atiqah came out and hugged Ardi tightly.

"Don't cry constantly-wiping the corner of Atiqah-eye I set off huh. Be well, take care of your health. I love you" Ardi cupped Atiqah's face, peeling long-long forehead. Atiqah nodded as she continued to hold back her cries.

Subroto approaching. "Wes wes, ojo nangis wae (already already, don't cry constantly)-- rubbing Atiqah-in' shoulder, later late" Subroto flicked his hand at Ardi.

"Yaudah, I set out first - embrace the Atiqah once more - Ardi departs Eyang" turned to kiss the back of his grandfather's hand and shook hands with Thunder. "Don't fuck with my wife!" his voice emphasized firmly.

"Remember Mas" replied Thunder.

Ardi stepped in with a black backpack on his back. Atiqah remained faithful waiting for Ardi to disappear from his sight. While Subroto has entered the car with Thunder.

Atiqah wiped the corners of her eyes and then her watery nose.

"Nduk. Reneo mlebu! Ardi wes ra ketok. Ndang muleh" (Nak. Here in! Ardi is invisible. Let's gohome). Subroto said from the window of the car he opened.

Atiqah turned her head and nodded, walking around the car inside.

"Arep manganese opo cah ayu?" (What do you want to eat beautiful children?). Subroto asked Atiqah. He knew his daughter-in-law's granddaughter would be hungry.

"Atiqah isn't Eyang's laper" he replied as he shook his head.

"Ojo ngono to nduk (do not like that son). Wes manut karo Eyang (already obedient to Eyang) -- patted the shoulders of Guntur-Maring eaterie Gombloh (to his restaurant Gombloh)" he ordered to Thunder.

"Switch Eyang" Thunder nodded then stepped on the gas pedal towards a restaurant owned by a relative who had the nickname Gombloh.

Javanese style restaurant is very thick and distinctive. All-wood ornaments that look old and the restaurant building is pendopo-shaped with all sides open around a large yard of green grass, as well as large trees.

The air is cool after the rain stops falling. That afternoon was a little comforting Atiqah who was sad to leave Ardi back to Jakarta.

"Eyang sowan. Synthetic kalih?" (The dream is coming. With who?). Asked a woman in her 45s dressed in kebaya and an army subordinate.

"I'm mrene karo bojone Ardi (i'm here with his wife Ardi). Cah ayu, salim sek. This is Lastri, Gombloh's wife" Subroto said. Atiqah stood kissing the back of the woman's hand.

"Garwonipun Ardi? menopo Ardi to graduate?" (ardi's wife? Did Ardi graduate?). Lastri asked, pulling up a chair sitting next to Subroto. Alternately staring at Atiqah is also Subroto. Atiqah looked down embarrassedly stared at like that.

"Come bojone Ardi. Ayu? (yes, his wife Ardi. Beautiful right?)- rubbing shoulders, Atiqah raised her smiling face-Ardi durung passed, nembe class telu. Sek taun ngarep pass" (Ardi has not graduated, only third grade. The front of the light). Subroto. Lastri was curious about the words of Subroto. His view shifted again to Atiqah.

"Kolo menopo emah? mboten at the orgaaken?" (when's marriage? not celebrated?). Ask Lastri again. Atiqah is getting cornered.

"Wes to .. I'm mrene arep. Putuku iki again meteng. Wes knows saiki?" (already have. I'm here to eat. My granddaughter is pregnant. Do you understand now?). Subroto's final words silenced the mouth of Lastri who wanted to keep asking further.

"Oh .. sampun mbobot (oh already pregnant)- glanced at Atiqah then down to see the stomach-innggih, kulo sampun ngertos Eyang. Kulo ajeng teng winging rumiyin" (Alright, I already understand Eyang. I'll go back first). Lastri nodded his head and left the table where Subroto, Atiqah and Thunder were sitting.

Day began to crawl the night. Atiqah had just entered the room. The atmosphere is quiet and quiet. Atiqah sat on the edge of the bed and reached into her bag because of the vibration of the mobile phone.

Ardi's name along with his picture appear on the screen. A broad smile expands, a sense of happiness envelops.

"Hello .. Has it arrived?" greet Atiqah after sliding the green button to the right.

"Udah, just got to the apartment. You again what is Yang?" ask Ardi from across the street. Ardi was closing the refrigerator door after taking a bottle of mineral water.

"New to home too. Stop by the restaurant first. The eyang ajakin. Have you eaten?" ask Atiqah again. Atiqah is missing.

"Udah was at the airport. A restaurant? Which restaurant?" Ardi downed the mineral water while waiting for Atiqah's answer.

"The name of the restaurant is unique, rich in the name of that person. Gom ... Gomloh if not wrong" Atiqah while remembering again.

"Lek Gombloh Restaurant? you there? see Lek Lastri?" Ardi guessed.

"Yes .. yes. How do you know? there were mothers called Lastri. I fear. The mother asked the same kind of eyang continued to mengeliatin I rich do not like it. I was worried" Atiqah complained to her husband.

"So she knows you're my wife?" Ardi threw his body on the bed.

"Yes"

"Wah .. will be this uproar. Lek Lastri is the son of his sister Eyang. She said Mama is also another family" explained Ardi.

"Huh?? pantesan he's in shock. Also jutek same me" Atiqah hugging bolting.

"Not to be thought of. Let everyone know. You focus on our child. Don't think of anything else" Ardi advised.

"Yes .. but, I miss ..." Atiqah wants to cry again. Just a few hours apart from Ardi, he had already missed.

"I'm also Yang. Patience huh? four months a minute. You take care of your health. I love you" Ardi gives a kiss on the screen of his phone.

"He em ... I love you too"
