Riska and Gilang arrive at the hotel. They're weird parents. There is a child and a house, of course, but prefers to stay at a hotel.
Arriving at the hotel, they headed straight to Citra's house. Kila and Irsyad came first. Then, the people in the house welcomed each other.
"I'm sorry, tell him so suddenly," Citra told Irsyad and Kila.
"Yes, it was sudden. You see, anyone wants to be taken care of here, so stop by to talk about it now" Riska chimed in.
"What thing?" ask Kila.
"Since you and Irsyad are married, it's worth discussing with two families. So Mama and Papa came to Mother Citra's house," replied Riska.
Kila saw the reaction of Citra and Erwin, it seemed like they already knew what things to talk about at this meeting. But the two pairs of parents did not tell Irsyad or Kila. They just say that there will be something to talk about, nothing more.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" irsyad's turn to ask.
"It's about Kila, Syad," Citra replied.
"Let me continue," interrupted Riska.
"We both as Kila's parents, want Kila to continue her studies again" Riska said. Kila was surprised. One month later, he finished his S1 studies.
"Right, Kila was young. At his current age, it should not be wasted. We want Kila to take advantage of her young age to find as much knowledge as possible" continued Gilang.
"Ma, Pa, what does that mean? Did Irsyad have to be stuck again with that promise during Kila's school?" ask Kila wonder.
"Kila.., you misunderstood. We know you will think like that, so we feel we have to make a meeting between two families like this," explained Citra to calm Kila. Sensitive Image with Kila emotions that began to be uncontrollable over the words of his parents.
"From Kila's reaction, I appreciate you for not doing things that would interfere with Kila's study at that time. You keep your word, Irsyad. A good decision when you keep that promise so that Kila can focus on her academic activities at her vulnerable age at that time. But, for the follow-up study, you do not need to be bound by that promise anymore" said Gilang.
"meaning?" ask Kila and Irsyad together.
"You're all grown up. That promise no longer has to be fulfilled. Don't be quick to have children. Since Kila had to prioritize her education," Riska helped explain Gilang's intentions.
"Good-grandson? Right, father and mother are very impatient to want to pet the grandchild. They had been holding back all this time, because Brother Irsyad was shackled by a promise. Do they have to wait any longer for the selfishness of my parents who want me to prioritize education more than having children?" batin Kila felt guilty towards Citra and Erwin.
"When you can set the time, really. I am more mature than I was at that time. Having a child at the same time as school is not a problem for Kila," said Kila full of confidence while looking at Mama and Papa.
"True, because there are my parents who are very eager to fondle grandchildren, our children will be brought to my parents' house.when I and Kila are so busy with their respective affairs," irsyad said in support of Kila's remarks.
Kila blushed as Irsyad smoothly uttered her sentence, and the sentence was about their "son. Irsyad, at a time like this he even throws a speech like that that makes Kila's heart racing.
"Irsyad! Are you sure you can be like that? We don't want your kids to have a childhood like Kila did. Kila had to be taken care of by her grandmother when we were busy parents. So, you can have children when you are really ready and at the right time" Riska argued.
"Ma, instead of with Kila prioritizing education the impact will be worse, yes, to the child Kila later? Kila will definitely be busy, just like Mama and Papa. The longer it is delayed will also busy Kila with other affairs. Fearing, Mama and Papa asked Kila again to continue the doctoral study. Is it getting busy again, dong? When do you have children? When are you ready to have your child? When is the right time to have children?" firmly Kila. Irsyad rubbed Kila's back to calm Kila's emotions.
"We better end this discussion. I have a suggestion. Irsyad and Kila were already free from the promise of that time. And they're adults, they already know how to delay having children. Well, because of our strong desire to quickly fondle grandchildren, I propose to Kila start a program to have children in her second year S2. If the program is successful, then I will be very happy to fondle grandchildren when Kila will soon graduate S2. I also don't mind taking care of my own grandchildren when Kila is busy working on her thesis. Besides, there is also Irsyad who will help Kila in completing her studies in case of a deadlock. However, if it has not succeeded, they should continue to try. It is not good to delay pregnancy for too long because at the same time we see people out there who have not been given a baby," Citra said.
Kila could have immediately registered S2 because the registration is still open, but he wanted to take a breath with a gap year a year before continuing his studies.
"Where do you agree with me, don't you, Kila?" Image throws to Kila.
Kila looked at Citra, then looked one by one at the people who were there. Crazy clumsy, confused must answer how.
"We better get rid of each of our egos. Let our children decide. It's not our domain to interfere in their domestic affairs." Erwin open the sound. Then he left the living room where the air was hot. He did not want to interfere in the debate.
"Looks, Mommy agrees with Dad. Decisions must be taken by you as the doers who run the life. We are here only parents who give advice and input. Take the good for you. That's right, isn't it, Miss Riska, Mr Gilang?" Imagery added. In his last speech he was like insinuating Riska and Gilang. Of course it made Riska and Gilang depressed and awkward. Can no longer both reinforce the argument that Kila prioritizes education over having children. The two people swallowed his saliva as Citra's gaze pointed at them.
The atmosphere became awkward. There was a pause a few minutes after the speech of the image. No one opens their voice, everything is silent.
"Come please enjoy the drinks and snacks. Ashar's time is coming soon. So, let's settle the contents of the stomach first before performing prayer," Citra said. Actually, he just wanted to make the awkward atmosphere that he made just now end.
