Nathan's arrival with the entourage was greeted with great fanfare. After anyone found out that the guests they were waiting for were already at the funeral, the atmosphere in front of the mansion grew busier.
The villagers were milling about arranging and preparing for the welcome. The rented hadroh line is also neatly arranged beside the entrance. The personnel have brought their own tambourine tools. Check the sound system is also done so that later it sounds good and perfect.
Before long, the group they were waiting for finally arrived. The nuclear family of the mansion as well as the important people in the village immediately came out for a welcome.
Tasya who was the first time to the village was amazed by the welcome they received.
“I didn't expect you to be this famous in the village. Look at your welcoming party even as if you are welcoming the President into the village.”
“Silence and enjoy.” Nathan answered ketus. He was still annoyed at his sister who caught his innocence. Even worse, everything is told to others so that it makes it a source of family ridicule.
Tasya pursed her lips a sign of annoyance. He who had been walking fast for the sake of aligning him with his brother and sister-in-law slowly retreated and chose to walk beside Rita.
When the party was near the entrance, the little children pelted them with rose petals. Even on the red carpet that is held to the front of the house are also scattered rose petals.
Nadia was speechless. Her tears of joy flowed back. However, Nathan forbids him from using tears to express happiness, this is difficult to control. The tears appeared without being asked. Just come out of happy sparkling eyes.
Huh! Women like to be weird sometimes. When sad cry, when happy cry. But that's the special thing about a woman who has a soft heart like cotton.
“Welcome doctor Nadia, welcome doctor Nathan with family.” Devi who greeted them immediately hugged Nadia tightly. The two ex-honey had forgotten the memories of the past and replaced them with new ones. And it is the relationship of the child and mother that they choose.
“Welcome Nadia. Welcome to a new identity here. But don't worry, you're still entitled to this house as one of my daughters.”
“Thank you Miss Devi. I'm very happy to be back here.”
“Ah Bisma. Welcome to the house. This is your home too.” Devi lowered her head to hold onto Bhishma's shoulder. This little boy looks a lot like his late husband. The smile she gave to her stepson.
Yulia, Sinta, Hesti and Nita who were standing next to Devi also gave a tight hug to Nadia. They share each other's longing and happiness. The bisma in Nadia's hand also gave her greetings to the women who welcomed them. Followed by Tasya, Rita and Mbak Hana behind him.
As Nadia passed by Nita who was standing at the very end, Nadia stopped in front of a beautiful little girl. This face he vaguely recognized. A little changed, but he could still recognize her.
“This Lisa?” ask Nadia. When he left the girl, she was eleven years old. And now, she's grown into a beautiful teenage girl.
“Iya aunt. Glad your aunt remembers.”
“Of course. Here aunt hugs. Aunt miss you so much.” Nadia hugged the teenage girl. “Which team?” continued.
“I'm here aunt.” A little teenager, ah no, he's even very tall now. Even taller than her brother who was two years older than her.
“Wah! Bima is high. Soon must also be aunty overtook his height.”
“Sure dong aunt. Bima wants to be a soldier.” Proudly said.
“Here army candidate aunt hug. Aunty kangen very much with you.”
“Bima also.” Both cuddle. Makes one little man who had been ignored feel annoyed.
“Hei brother army candidate. Where can be a protector of the country if still spoiled.” The sarcasm that made the teenager who was in his mother's arms turned to him with a dislike look.
“Bisma can't be like that. No matter how strong a man is, he still needs someone else who loves him. Mama will also do the same to you even though you are already big.”
“Iya ma. Sorry sis..”
“Bima.” Bima extended her hand. But Bisma still refused to give her hand.
“Ma, why are our names similar? We're not sisters, are we?” Bhishma did know that Nadia was not her real mother. And her real mother was Dian.
“I can.” Answer the two children by almost the same name.
“Good heroes. Let's enter. We continue to talk inside.” Take Nadia. He was tired after sitting in the car for hours.
Men are also welcomed by men. There's Satria, Candra and Joni. The men entered first. They had already had a close conversation when the women entered.
After chatting for a while, Devi invited her guests to rest in the mansion. Many of the rooms there are empty.
Nara and Bhishma occupy Lisa and Bhishma's room where there are two mattresses inside. Ma'am Hana and Tasya share a room. Rita of course with Panji.
After driving everyone to her room, Nadia invites Nathan to enter her old room. Nadia spread her gaze inside the room. Everything looked the same as the last time he left.
Nadia was still standing at the door. This room is full of memories. His sight became sad.
“Nadia, if you want you can occupy another room.” Said Devi who saw Nadia's expression. This young woman must not feel comfortable in the room she used to live in with her late husband while she is now with her new husband. It's not comfortable.
“No Bu Devi. I didn't expect this room to be exactly the same as when I left it.
“Em. I was intentionally Nadia. I used to wish you to come back here and occupy this room again. That's why I deliberately asked the servants to routinely clean this room so that at any time you come, you can immediately occupy it. But right now you're coming as doctor Nathan's wife, so I thought you guys could stay in another room.”
“Nothing bu Devi. We will occupy this room.”
“Alright if that's your will. I can't ban. Alright please rest.” Miss Devi left Nathan and Nadia there.
“Come mas enter.” Nadia pulled Nathan's hand and closed the door immediately. “Emm. Do you mind if we sleep here?” asked Nadia sungkan. True what Devi said if this was a little uncomfortable.
But for Nadia, this is the place Nadia knows most in this big house. Not just about the Bondan master, but everything about Nadia and everything she has to do, is here.
Nathan flanked Nadia's cheeks with both hands. Peeping his forehead.
“Of course not. Everything that passes is the past. And all this is part of your past. When I decided to fight for you, of course I had calculated about all your past. For me, I am your future and you are my future.” Nathan smiled cheerfully.
“Accept still mas.”
“We don't live in Nadia's past. Like anything in the past, everything has passed. We can't just leave the past behind because the past is part of our life. But now we don't have to focus on the past. Instead, we should focus on the present and the future.”
“You were right. From now on there will only be us and our children in the future.”
“Smart. Now show me how comfortable your bed is.”
“Eh..” Nathan suddenly pushes Nadia to make Nadia fall flat on the bed.
“Honey, here is not the same as in our home. There's no sound eavesdropper in this room. Here the sound must have leaked everywhere.”
Nathan grinned. “What do you think, baby?” nathan put himself on the bed. Nadia who was left with a condition that was still stretched was made embarrassed.
“He was pranking me apparently. Just watch. I won't let him touch me here.” Nadia in the heart. Who told you to.
