Happiness to Oma


Ms. Imas tergopoh-gopoh put a hose she held to water the flowers in her yard and then close the water faucet. Smiles widened on the lips of Bu Imas saw the arrival of his son-in-law with his favorite grandson. The arrival of those who were not expected by Ms. Imas.


"Asalamoallaicum... " Hussein and Bu Salamah said their greetings as they took her hand and kissed the back of her hand, Ms. Imas. The same thing was done by Mrs Salamah and Andini.


"Waalaikum... Come on in. - Come in." Ms. Imas opened the door while holding Andini's shoulder.


"So so Mom. We decided to stay with Mom until she graduated. So we all can calm down a little." Said Mr. Husein after explaining why they left Andini. "Mom wouldn't mind, would you?" Continue Mr. Husein while looking at his in-law's face.


Ms. Imas smiled broadly as she looked at Andini and Salamah in turn. "Of course I don't mind at all." Ms. Imas replied while turning her eyes to Mr. Husein. "Mother would love it if Andini stayed here. I'm not gonna be alone anymore." Smile of Bu Imas widened clearly visible on the look of his face how happy he was with the decision of his daughter-in-law.


Mr. Husein also smiled happily to hear the words of Ms. Imas. "Din, don't forget all of Pipih's messages while you're with Oma." Said Mr. Husein while looking at Andini's face.


"Don't let you trouble Oma ya." Not spared Miss Salamah chimed in her husband's words. Andini just smiled while nodding her head.


"Din, get all your luggage into the room." Said Ms. Imas while stroking her grandson's long hair.


Andini also rushed out to the motorbike parked in front of Bu Imas' house, and quickly Andini dropped all her belongings and souvenirs from Bu Salamah for Omanya. After all the stuff was brought in. Andini put all the souvenirs for Omanya on the kitchen table then Andini tidied her clothes into the closet in the room next to the room of Ms. Imas.


"Thank you, God." I do not know how many times Andini said that sentence while continuing to smile full of happiness. It was unexpected that his parents would tell him to stay with Ms. Imas until she graduated from school. Given so tight Pak Husein and Bu Salamah in guiding and watching Andini not to get along in the wrong way.


The presence of the Andini family on that day has really made Ms. Imas again feel the warmth of the family that has long been lost in her home. Only Andini's visit every day after school always gave her a little happiness for the rest of her life. Starting tonight after school you will always be at home and not just stop by and give a hug and pass away Miss Imas alone.


For years, Ms. Imas was alone in her solitude after the departure of her husband who had first faced the powerful. While the five children are busy with the affairs of their family life. His four children live far away in the city center and only occasionally visit him every year. Only Salamah, his third child who still lives close to him, is only blocked by two villages. And this is who almost every day came to his house since he was in elementary school.


"It's been Sal's night. We better go home now." Said Mr. Husein while glancing at the wall clock that has pointed at nine o'clock at night. Salamah nodded reluctantly to leave her mother's house.


"Wouldn't you guys go home in the morning" Sahut Bu Imas looked at his daughter-in-law's face and hoped that Husein and Salamah would stay at his house even if it was just one night.


Meanwhile, Andini who was lying on the mattress in her new room was still smiling to herself. Happiness that was never expected before. "I'll soon be wearing a white-and-grey uniform." He said softly while wiggling his toes.


"Ten minute walk... Take twenty minutes.. Half-hour... Enter at seventeen..." Then I can leave at half-seven..." Andini said to herself as she moved her fingers counting the time the journey to her new school was only taken in thirty minutes. If Andini departs from the house his parents must walk first for one hour to get to the house of Omanya. Then walk from Bu Imas house to the terminal for ten minutes. The difference in distance is quite a very long distance that must be traveled by Andini every day.


"Now I won't be sapped again." Andini turned her body against the wall of the room while smiling. The happy sparkle on her face increasingly exuded the beautiful aura of Andini who had now grown into a teenage girl.


Emmhh... Andini squirms lazily when someone touches her shoulder and slightly shakes her body. "Dina.. Premature... Wake up in the morning. Prayer time let's wake up." There was the sound of Mrs Salamah trying to wake up Andini who still looked lazy.


It was five o'clock in the morning but Andini still looks sound in his sleep with a thick blanket covering his entire body. So Bu Salamah had to wake him up.


Andini went from the mattress to the bathroom to clean her body and performed the almost late morning prayers. While Ms. Imas and Salamah were busy in the kitchen preparing food for breakfast. Mr. Husein was seen cleaning the weeds in all corners of his in-laws' yard.


"Sal... Andini will be fine with Mom. Don't worry about it too much. Andini's a good boy." Said Ms. Imas while arranging all the food on the dining table.


"Yes Mom. I can't let Andini get out of the house too often. Sala doesn't want Andini to get the wrong hangout." Sahut Bu Salamah while pouring warm tea into a glass that is available on the dining table.


Ms. Imas only replied with a smile while touching her child's shoulder.


"Sorry Early bad luck so help Mimih with Oma." Suddenly Andini was standing at the kitchen door staring at all the food that was neatly arranged on the table.


Ms. Imas smiled as she glanced at her granddaughter. "It's okay. Call your Pipih to have breakfast here." Sahut Bu Imas's.


Andini rushed to the front yard
