“So so found?” asked Sondang to his in-laws when the two had just returned home from work.
“So as always,” answers the in-laws.
“But this time the kids don't look enthusiastic.”
“Why Host?” ask Sondang. Not usually kids like that. Sondang let, whenever Gultom wanted to meet the children, he allowed. Origin there are in-laws. He did not want Gultom to invite the children to know his new mother-to-be before he gave the briefing.
“Inang haven't matches them. Change it if it is a bit relaxed. Looks like they're again bete,” replied the host.
“Well later I will also match-up so that they tell stories,” replied Sondang.
‘What's with Rida and Icha huh?’ think Sondang. Rida is a call to her daughter Tarida while Icha is a call to her daughter Theresia.
I took a shower and changed clothes. He prepared dinner for the four of them. Even though the cook was the host and his assistant, he still prepared when going to dinner. Everything must be prepared by him himself. Do not want all home affairs done by her mother-in-law or maid even though she works though. He still has to take care of his children and his mother-in-law.
“Bu call the kids,” command Sondang on his maid. She did call mom or mom to the maid because she had been with him for a long time. Since Icha was a child until now.
“Hello son Mama, let's eat.” invite Sondang on Icha.
“Mana opung? call opung first.” said Sondang next while receiving a glass from his assistant.
“New dragonfly shower,” replied Rida who heard Sondang's command.
“What is the reason for the night shower? Did he forget to use hot water? Afraid she forgot,” Sondang so worried about her in-laws.
“Ngot forget kok Nyah (mrs means ). I had brought hot water for opung,” said the maid.
Of course in the house Sondang does not have a water heater for bathing so if you want to take a hot shower you have to bring cooked water to mix in the bucket.
“Ayo Opung, we eat first,” invite Sondang when his mother-in-law has approached the dining table. He saw his father-in-law fresh after taking a bath.
“It's sultry. Tumben today is innate a lot of sweat. So want to sleep later is not good if not take a shower. That's why Opung took a shower first, finished bathing directly eat will be not too cold,” said the opung.
“Ya let's eat,” take Sondang. He asked Tarida to lead the prayer before the meal.
“If not wrong, today your schedule met your papa ya?” fishing rod Sondang on his two daughters.
“Iya Ma,” Reply Icha.
“Yes already, which is important when such a schedule you take advantage of your time with your papa. Not every time he can be with you,” said Sondang.
“Iya,” reply Icha.
“Kak why Sis? How quiet?” sondang asked to see that Tarida was not enthusiastic.
“So I hate papa!” lontar Tarida is upset.
“No can be so loh. Mama didn't teach you to hate your papa. This is Opung. Opung was his mother papa, later thought Mama ajarin you are not right,” Sondang reprimand.
“Opung will see every day Mama never teach bad things like that. But indeed Ida just hate the same papa,” replied Tarida. He's if Ida's self-designator isn't Rida.
“Why's your reason? It's not good to hate old people. Mama who has been hurt can still accept the behavior of your father,” indeed Sondang tell the reason he and Gultom divorced is because Gultom had another wife. Sondang did not want to share so let Gultom with other wives only. Of course, children aged 10 years and 12 years already understand what husband and wife say and divorce.
“Papa said that he only loved Mama and the two of us. If she only loved Mama and the two of us, why did she have a child named Marry? Same wife who is pregnant?” icha said with courage.
Sondang looked at his confused in-laws.
