Father of My Son
Little Bia and Prince Ukulele
Dira's coming home tonight. Again, he did not wake Bia. Dira always checks on Diandre and Divan. Sometimes if Diandre wet the bed, Dira must have replaced it. Only tonight Bia was deliberately on guard. When she heard the sound of Dira's car, Bia pretended to be asleep and saw what her husband was doing.
Until she saw Dira opening her laptop, Bia got up and sat on the bed looking at Dira. Seeing his wife awake, Dira was shocked.
"Why awake? Sleep again there," Dira suggested.
Bia squeezed the blanket that covered half her body. She was upset that her husband always pretended to be strong. "I didn't sleep. You think you're the only one who can withstand being tired? I can too."
"Bia," called Dira because his wife's voice was quite tight, even though Diandre and Divan were sleeping on Bia's side.
Bia got off the bed. He approached Dira at the desk on the other side of their room. Dira's eyes continued to follow Bia's steps. His wife is now standing next to him.
"Here, I want to hug you" Bia pinta. Dira smiled amusedly. He looked at his two sleeping sons. "Come, here I hug."
"What if the kids wake up?" ask Dira shyly. Bia shook her head then forcefully hugged her husband tightly. "Bia, don't hug. I can forget later."
Bia doesn't care. He hugged Dira tightly. Maybe it could cure what had been plaguing her husband. Dira pulls Bia in the lap. He rested his head on his wife's chest and it made her comfortable. Especially when Bia rubbed his head slowly also patted his back.
"Dira, you're a great husband and father" praised Bia. Dira just chimed in with a smile even though Bia did not see it.
The white room was only illuminated by the dim light of the sleeping lights in the room. People are beginning to miss the smell of the beach, as well as the watermelon. This month there are two people who will be birthday in turn. They remember each other only still keep each other's surprises secret.
Bia kissed Dira's forehead. "Hey, continue the story yesterday" Pinta Dira.
Bia laughing. Last night he wanted to tell me about a girl who loves to dance. It was just that because Diandre suddenly cried, the story was cut off halfway.
"So little Bia who loves to dance stopped dancing because her little radio was broken. He cried on the swing until the other child saw him and said he was a cry."
"Then a little prince came to drive away the nosy children. The prince hugged little Bia and said, 'you don't cry. If it's bad cry. There I take care of you. Don't fear.' Those words made little Bia stop crying."
Dira knew who the little prince Bia was referring to. That's him, Dira Kenan. The man who had always been with Bia since birth into the world. Wherever he always secretly followed Bia to know what difficulties the woman experienced.
"The little prince took little Bia to the sunflower garden. Not to forget he brought the ukulele that his grandfather lent him. There the prince played the ukulele. Subconsciously little Bia started to move her body and dance. Little Bia happy until dancing while laughing happily," continued Bia.
Dira missed that time. A time when he had no burden of mind. Although his parents are far away, he does not feel sad because he will play until the afternoon with Bia in the sunflower garden owned by the Kenan family. Play cooking, play musical instruments to chase. When he came home, Dira was always happy.
"Does that little Bia still love to dance?" asked Dira with a naughty look.
Bia laughing. "No. When she was a teenager, she became a shy girl. He doesn't like to dance anymore."
"He prefers to eat chocolate and cake to his body like a cute bear. It was all just because he was decided by the frog prince who went with his own best friend. So the ukulele prince became his friend," timpal Dira said with a satisfied laugh.
Bia's not upset. She laughed because of her husband's words. "Prince ukulele who always makes him happy. Take a movie to the cinema, protect if bullied to feed him every lunch," added Bia.
Dira stopped laughing. He looked down and showed a sad expression. "Then the ukulele prince also left. He is selfish and thinks only of his ideals and ambitions. Until Bia doesn't laugh anymore and lives hard."
Bia speechless. Bia finally saw that side Dira showed from behind the room that Dira stored in the mind. The locked room he tried to hide from the outside, but always Bia found. Because Bia knows Dira Kenan too well.
"Dira, you lose. If we are always burdened with guilt, it also tortures others. You know, I'm always happy to see you happy. Seeing you sad and hurt like this, I was also sad. Therefore, do not be burdened with guilt and feel sad. I'll feel the same way."
