The semester exam was over, and on the weekend, the little family visited Anna's house in the village.
Benedict only found out about the relics of his mother, when he arrived there, as usual mang kos and his wife welcomed them.
"So this is where you ran away?"benedict asked as soon as he entered the log house. Ayudia just smiled showing her dimples.
Benedict saw the situation in the house, which is dominated by wood material, Anna was not an architect like him, but the simple design of the house made him proud of his late mother.
In his heart he thanked his mother, not forgetting to pray for her.
After putting the suitcase in their respective rooms, Ainsley and Aileen requested permission to leave the house to meet their friends, coincidentally the time still showed at three in the afternoon.
Ayudia tidied the clothes to put in the closet, while Benedict sat in bed observing the activities of his wife.
"So during the time you were pregnant with the twins, you ran away here?"tanyakanya.
"Yes, here I feel at home, very good hawanya, adem, the neighbors are also friendly," replied the pregnant woman.
"Isn't this house too small?"
"It's small, but it's more than enough for me,"
Benedict got up and hugged his wife from behind, "honey, are you hungry?"
Ayudia turned around, she returned her husband's embrace, not forgetting to kiss the sexy lips, "how about we take a walk around the village, ride a motorbike, it looks like A Nando's motorbike is still there,"
"Nando ever give you a motor?"
"Yes, after I woke up from a coma and I was picked up by my husband" she said.
"Darling not to remember anymore, I was desperate at that time, but how could Nando love you," there was an annoyed tone tucked from the man's words.
"Said A Nando gini, Ayu I bought a motorcycle for my favorite daughter, I do not give to Lo ya, so Lo must accept," he said mimicking the style of Nando's speech.
"Oh so Nando loves Aileen, it means safe,"
"Yes yuk yuk we roamed the village on a motorbike,"
Mang Kos said that the motorbike was in his house, he said he was afraid of being stolen by a thief.
It feels like it's been a long time that Benedict hasn't ridden a motorcycle, "i remember when I was picking you up when I was singing the pedekate" he said, recalling the past.
"Well, sometimes misses like this" she said, hugging her husband's waist tightly.
Ayudia greeted everyone she knew, even asking her husband to stop his bike to just shake hands with his neighbor.
"You're famous here too?"
"And I've lived here for a long time, and I even went with the mother's funeral,"
Benedict stopped his motorcycle on the side of the road near the field, where his son was playing ball with children his age, while his daughter was sitting with a group of girls.
Ayudia approached them, "who will be treated to meatballs mang Ujang?"he shouted at the children.
The boys turned their heads, saw who was shouting, "You know," they said almost simultaneously.
All of them followed the pregnant woman while Benedict rode on the motorbike and followed her from behind the horde of village children.
Ujang mang meatballs suddenly abound with a bunch of kids.
Cheerful looks from the plain children, making a noisy atmosphere in the stall.
"Did you often like this?"ask Benedict while enjoying the meatballs.
"Sometimes, but more often share the cakes anyway, the mother who made, I just help,"
"So Ainsley and Aileen were like this when they were here?"Benedict was a little surprised by the change in his children.
"Here children grow up to their age, they play outside more often, mingle, without discriminating background, here too Ainsley and Aileen have sincere friends,"
"Looks like I just saw, Ainsley laughs loosely here, but it's her destiny to inherit the company"
"You know what, the reaction Ainsley showed when she found out I was pregnant again, she was really cool, she said she hoped her sister was a boy, so that the burden she had to bear, could shift to her sister,"
"Ainsley said that?"
Ayudia nodded, "she wants to live like an ordinary person like her friends here,"
Mang Ujang suddenly busy, by some children and some teenagers, they are very noisy, when ordering the meatballs they want,
Benedict to his own astonishment, it seems that when he just moved to Indo, he was not as enthusiastic as the children, even he was only friends with Rama as well as some neighbors introduced by his best friend.
Ayudia also Benedict gets the last turn when the meatballs are served by the Ujang mang.
There was some chatter between Ayudia and the meatball seller, not to forget the pregnant woman introduced her husband to the Ujang mang.
Benedict took out some red money from his wallet, a fluffy smile and a thank-you note from the Ujang man, receiving an overpayment from the foreign man.
Children were allowed to bathe in the river, Ayudia nodded and warned her to be careful.
The couple rode on a motorcycle that slowly followed the children to the river.
"I used to think I'd be a regular guy, too, because I'm used to living here with Rama and his friends, but I didn't expect it, before I graduated High School, but I did, uncle came to Jakarta and asked me, to study in America while taking care of the company, at that time I was very hard parted with Rama, but because of pity with Uncle who was sick, until after graduation, I was very worried about how I would be, I'm going straight there,"
"Aren't you hurt because Miss Lusi married Mr Arnold?"
"That has nothing to do with me, I said, I never loved Lusi, at that time I was deliberately as if I was hurt, right the old friends so sympathize with me and blaspheme them,"
"That you're sneaky,"
"But you know, oh yeah I forgot, I got word from Rama said Cleo to get married, next week,"
"Are we invited?"ask Ayudia.
"Do you want to attend?"ask Benedict back, please,
"If I'm invited to come, after all, it's impossible to do weird things at his own daughter's party,"
"Alright if invited we are present,"
With his own eyes, Benedict saw his two children playing in the mud in the fields before bathing in the river, he did not expect his son could be like that, he said, just as his son insisted on wanting to be in the home country of his mother and grandmother, their laughter escaped as if there were no burden.
Although the two children are physically different, all play together and there are no restrictions at all.
Ayudia, as usual, led a simple life like most of her neighbors, waking up before dawn, waking her son and husband up to perform the dawn service at the mosque not far from home,
Benedict, who did not carry Koko's clothes, only wore a plain white shirt, and a sarong borrowed from mang kos.
His first experience of early morning prayer with his son was in simple prayer.
Ayudia and Aileen worship at home in congregation.
Returning home from the mosque after chatting with the fathers, Benedict heard his wife was teaching, this was the first time, he heard the melodious voice of his wife.
"Ainsley, are you always like this every day?"ask Benedict for his son.
"Didn't you have been with your mother for a long time, why don't you know your habits?"ask Ainsley.
Benedict realized that he did not fully know the habits of his wife.
After studying, Ayudia rushed to the kitchen to make breakfast, this time she would fry a banana, which she got from her next door neighbor yesterday afternoon.
Aileen helps her mother make coffee, tea and pregnant milk for her mother.
After maturing, Ayudia brought the dish to the gazebo near the fish pond, where her husband, Ainsley and Mang kos were chatting.
Benedict offered to renovate the mushola, and Mang Kos offered to meet RT sir and the manager of the mushola later.
But when they spoke, it happened that RT sir passed right in front of the house, mang kos called Pak RT's man to talk about the plan of Ayudia's husband.
Not only giving money, Benedict also designed his own, of course the plan will be implemented soon, considering the time the man has is limited.
After the death of RT and Mang Kos, Benedict searched for the whereabouts of his wife, he found the woman, was crouching to wash clothes, and was,
"Why did you wash everything, we only use laundry, you are pregnant, if you are tired how?"benedict was worried about his wife.
"It's all right, just a little," he said.
"I am the one who knows,"
"What can you do?"ask the pregnant woman not sure.
Nervously Benedict replied, "well, at home I wash, too,"
"Mas, you've been quiet, don't bother to check on me," he said firmly, Benedict can only resign while watching his wife.
After washing and drying clothes, Ayudia went to the market with her husband, while her children had gone to play after breakfast and bathing.
Returning from the market Ayudia cooking assisted her husband, only asem vegetables, salted fish, tempeh and fried tofu also sambal terasi.
"Geez, if the kids are big, and the company's been taken care of by them, how about we spend our old age here?"ablaze
"We'll see, baby" Benedict said, hugging his wife.
The family's initial plan was to be in the village for only three days and two nights, but the twins asked their father to stay there for longer, of course Benedict asked their homeroom teacher for permission not to go to school.
Benedict also immediately carried out his plan to renovate the musholla.
Just six days the little family was in the village, with a heavy heart the twins had to return to the capital, living their boring days.
