As the orange blossoms rose up in the sky, the birds began to fly towards nature. Frenetic vehicles echoed on the highway.
So did I, who was always excited when work time had run out. I want to go home to see my girl. Now Mama Alice is putting more time aside for Chaca. While Papa Xander has begun to occupy himself in his companies.
After struggling with traffic jams along the way, I had reached home at 7 p.m. Where all the families had gathered at the dining table.
"Ma's night, Pa, honey," I said past them.
"Dear night, shower hunt huh. Continue to join here," said Mama preparing food.
"Night Gan" said Papa briefly.
I approached him, kissing the back of their hands. Honestly, I am still not used to their presence. But still I try to respect Papa and Mama. As you have taught me since childhood.
Ah ... Mother, Gandhi is very happy.
Chaca just smiled at me. His smile seemed to draw me closer. With a quick step, I stole a kiss on his forehead.
"Om, take a shower first. Play some ketchup, "Chaca's protest pushes my body. Mom and Dad smiled and shook their heads.
I was just astounded then immediately went upstairs to clean my body. It didn't take long, I've come down in casual clothes. Then join them.
My mother prepared food for me. We enjoyed this together for 2 months. There was never any emotion or anger from Papa or Chaca like before. The situation is so peaceful.
After enjoying dinner, I tried to open up the conversation. Weak the drink in front of me to the toilet, then I put the empty glass back.
"Ehm!" I'm throttling.
All eyes are on me. I smiled stiffly, looking at them one by one.
"Why Honey?" mama touched my hand on the table.
"dm ... Ma, Pa, can't you tomorrow Gandhi and Chaca go to Mother's place? Gandhi miss Mother Ma, Pa. I haven't visited him in a long time" I said slowly staring at the two.
Mama and Papa looked at each other, until they finally curled their lips. "Of course you can darling, whenever you want to go to Mother's house. She is also your mother" Mama said to make me sigh in relief.
"Chaca is also very upset with Mother, Om," said Chaca with teary eyes.
I got up to grab her shoulder, rubbed it gently. He looked at me, clear crystals began to fall from the corner of his eyes. I crouched in front of his wheelchair.
"Tomorrow we'll go there, dear" I said, wiping her tears and peeling the backs of her hands.
I know Chaca must miss Mother a lot. Since learning she's not Mama and Papa's biological child, Chaca turns into a quieter and more sensitive figure. He cried more often. Mama and Papa are getting softer and more loving.
"Yes, now rest. Would you like to help me get ready?" mama wiped her mouth after eating.
"No need Ma" said Chaca and I at the same time.
"You guys are so pumped" Papa chuckled.
"Hehe, we still have clothes there anyway, Ma" I said making Mama nod slowly.
I pushed Chaca back into the room. Ever since he sat in a wheelchair, Papa built a special road next to the stairs made it easier for us to push him upstairs.
After I laid her little body on the bed, I stroked her hair, peeling her forehead for a long time. Actually I was tormented when I kept close to him without doing anything.
But I love him so much. I won't break it until it's completely mine.
"Good break, honey," I said after putting our faces away.
"I'm sorry, I always bother you too Mama Papamu," he said.
God, why would Chaca think that way! I immediately turned around and sat back on the edge of the bed. Curse his fingers, I put on my chest that always rumbles when near him.
"Darling, I've never bothered. This is my responsibility as your future husband. And remember, Mama and Papa are your parents too. Why are you saying that?" I said kissed her two little hands.
"I ...."
"Ssssttt .. already, don't think of anything. Now sleep tomorrow we go home Mother," I cried blanketed her and turned off the main light.

The next day, Chaca and I were on their way to Mother's house. We stopped by the supermarket first. Shop and buy toys and stationery for the brothers.
I'm not comfortable with Chaca's attitude like this. I miss Chaca who is chubby, chatty and cheerful. But I don't know how to bring that smile back.
Just the roar of the car engine sound filled the atmosphere this morning. Until finally the car is parked in the yard of the Mother's house.
"Darling," I grabbed his fingers. He looked and smiled. I know it's a fake smile.
"Come Om, we give you a surprise Mother," he said cupping both of my cheeks.
I nodded, opened the door and prepared the wheelchair. I picked it up and sat it there. Then I took all the groceries from the trunk.
The sisters who knew our presence ran and shouted. Scattered into Chaca's lap, releasing longing. I am overwhelmed by their closeness.
I go inside first, put the groceries in the kitchen. Then look for the existence of Mother.
"Mother! Nuns!" my screams excited.
"Gandhi," exclaimed Mother from the hallway of her room.
I immediately rushed into Mother's embrace. Long time we miss each other. Until Santi came to break it.
"Mas Gandhi came alone?" his strangulation with a smile did not escape his face.
I take off Mother's embrace. "Eh Santi, no. I'm with Chaca, I'm still with the sisters outside" I said, making her look change.
Santi just wrapped his lips and behaved indifferently. Mother immediately ran over to Chaca. I followed him from behind.
I see, Chaca is handing out toys and stationery to the sisters. They are very excited.
Mother's steps are getting closer, making Chaca back in tears. As if there were a lot of things he wanted to say. I just stood watching him.
"Mother, talk to Chaca together. It seems like a lot of things are hidden. She changed Bun, I missed the old Chaca. Please bring back the cheerful Chaca Bun" I whispered behind Mother without anyone else being able to hear.
Mother nodded in understanding. Then he pushed Chaca into his room. I went to the room. It felt like I left this place for a long time.
I walked slowly, groping every inch of the table and bed in the room. Considering my relationship with Chaca some time ago. Makes me smile to myself.
I was curious about Chaca, intending to peek out from behind the door. I want to hear Chaca's complaint. With a sneak, I stood in the doorway of Mother's slightly open room.
"Sorry Gandhi Bun, Cha I didn't mean eavesdropping. But just wondering what makes Chaca that way" I murmured inwardly.
