Chapter 29
Attar glanced at Rinjani, he wanted to ask his mother for an opinion. For, on the one hand he wanted to go for a walk with his brother, but on the other he would not go with Dirga.
"In the amusement park you are free to ride anything. There are swivel comedies, reanglala, or play in the pool can also be. Attar wants to go play with Om, right?" ask Dirga.
The little boy still looked confused. His heart began to gamang want to go there, but saw the expression of the mother's face as if not approve of his desire.
"Adik does not want to go together with Om," replied Attar finally and made Rinjani's heart feel relieved.
"Well, too bad you don't want to go play there. Though you can play cars and race too, you know, there later!" said Dirga.
Of course this makes Attar for the umpteenth time feel worried. He glanced back at his mother, inwardly wanting to go to such a place.
"Mom" whispered Attar and it made Dirga feel happy, because it had succeeded in making Attar want to come play with him.
"Rinjani, give Attar and the other two brothers permission to go for a walk with me. If you can also come play with us," continued Dirga.
Of course Rinjani rejected Dirga's wishes. He does not want any more slander to hit him.
Azzam and Aqilah came home from the river. They carried a small bucket of fish and a large bundle of kale carried by Azzam.
Seen once the expression of the faces do not like the two children, when he saw Dirga was on the porch of the house. Although the man often smiled and asked to speak first, they both did not like him. This is because their memory of the events of a few months ago still imprints strongly in the memory of his brain.
"Assalamualaikum," greetings the two children so stepped on the porch of the house.
"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh," replied Rinjani and Dirga almost simultaneously.
Dirga also informed his intention to Aqilah Dan Azzam to go on vacation to the amusement park together. However, the two gently refused to leave. The reason is because they already have an appointment with someone willing to go somewhere.
It looks very clear the look on Dirga's face that feels disappointed. He intends to approach the three children of Rinjani so that later it will be easy to melt the widow's heart. But he also got a rejection.

Rinjani and her children went to the capital early in the morning. The pickup from Grandpa Atmaja came after dawn. On the way, Attar was very happy. The little boy continued to chatter every time he saw a vehicle passing by. The thing that slices Rinjani's heart is that every time there is a big bus that runs into them, the youngest will call his father.
"Mother, it's dad's bus!" Point Attar at the bus that is traveling in the opposite direction to them.
Rinjani's teary eyes endured the pain in the heart. In the past, every time Attar took the Lord always waved at the bus that would be driven by the father. So, every time he saw the bus he would wave thinking it was the bus his father was driving.
"Sister, it's not dad's bus" said Azzam who sat in front.
"Oh, no, yeah." Attar looks disappointed.
Rinjani who was sitting next to Attar just rubbed her head affectionately. Then, he kissed the head with affection.
As they entered the big city and the many skyscrapers, the three little ones were amazed. A sight that was not in the village where they lived.
"Mom, what's up there?" attar asked while pointing at the tall buildings.
"There is a room where work is," replied Rinjani.
"They don't work on the bus like dad?" ask Attar again.
"No. Because they're not drivers. Later if Attar has grown up can work in such a place," replied Rinjani.
"No, fear of falling" replied the 3-year-old. Everyone in the car laughed.
The driver sent by Grandpa Atmaja is a private driver who is already known by Rinjani. Middle-aged man who has served since Rinjani was a child. He is often called Mr. Kus, actually his name is Kusnandar.
"Well, where do you want to eat or eat first?" ask Mr. Kus.
"Eat in a place that is guaranteed cleanliness only, sir. Because Attar also had to eat certain foods," replied Rinjani.
Mr. Kus takes Rinjani and his family to a food stall, if he is traveling out of town and through this road. The typical food stalls of the famous village area are very delicious. All the ingredients used come from organic vegetables and fresh meat. Even the fish was deliberately caught in the pond that was behind the food stall.
While they are enjoying a lunch together there, Rinjani accidentally meets people she knows from her past. Neither Rinjani nor the person was equally surprised.
***
Who was the person who met Rinjani at the food stall? How did Grandpa Atmaja react when he saw Azzam and Attar? Wait for it to go, yeah!
