Love Above the Wounds
Happy New Year (End)

That afternoon at Donny's residence, everyone seemed busy, Fitri and Anita made cakes and various kinds of snacks to take him to Cipto's grandfather's house.

They will celebrate the new year's night at the residence of Cipto's grandfather, as well as family gathering to tighten the fraternity.

The children appear to be playing in the playground next to Donny's house, in the park there is a fish pond, there is a swing, and a variety of other children's games, which makes the children feel at home for a long time playing in the park.

While Dicky and Donny fishing fish and shrimp in one of the pond owned by Cipto's grandfather, which is located not too far from the place.

They look fun fishing and race to get the most fish.

"Come Pret! Show your fishing skills! back when I was at the Panti, almost every afternoon I was fishing at a time not far from the parlour, I felt like I missed my childhood!" Dicky.

"Even my mother and I used to go fishing in our own pond, and the funny thing is when I was fishing, I put it back in the pond, for the pity of seeing a fish floundering from lack of air! My mom was mad at me!" donny doesn't want to lose.

Dicky laughs at Donny's story, apparently behind Donny's expression that looks cold and not much to say, he has compassion also towards a fish.

"Hahaha you're so funny, Shucks! If when we were little, we might be good friends, because we both like fishing!" dicky said, Laughing.

"You don't talk much! Look, I've been fishing for 10 fish, you've only had three!" donny said as he pointed towards the basket where their fish were.

Dicky spontaneously turned to his fish basket, his eyes bulged, because he felt he had fished more than 5 fish, why now the fish so reduced to 3.

"Ah shit! Why did my fish disappear? Don't you cheat me, Pret!" fierce Dicky.

"Who cheated you? I've been focusing on fishing, while you talk too much!" donny Sahut.

"Ah is impossible! I remember very well that I had already fished more than 5 tails, if it was reduced to 3 now, you would have taken my other fish!! Come ngaku!" cetus Dicky's.

Now replacing the laughing Donny, he laughs at Dicky's stupidity which is basically less good at fishing.

"Hahaha you are such a fool, Doctor! You're just good at hospitals! Let's see, you didn't close your fish basket, of course some of the fish jumped out, and went back to the pond, look at mine, the fish I get always I put in the basket and I close it!" donny said while pointing at Dicky's unclosed basket, so the fish jumped out.

Dicky's face turned red, because he was found not good at fishing.

"Yes yes I was wrong! But you can't tell me I'm stupid too, gini I'm a doctor, where maybe a doctor is stupid!" dicky Protest.

"But at least you have to admit, if you're not good at fishing, your skills are only one that conquers a woman's heart!" donny Sahut.

"Damn it! If Fitri hears it, he will definitely reprimand me! Your skills are also one Pret, always pissing me off!" reply Dicky.

Finally they agreed no longer fishing, but fishing, once their nets got a lot of fish and shrimp, and in a short time, their baskets were filled with fish and shrimp. Then they returned to Donny's house.

Dicky's family and the Donny family gathered at Cipto's grandfather's residence, they began to do a show of grilled fish, shrimp, chicken, squid and other Cipto grandfather's pond results.

The children look very happy, because they can get together and enjoy this togetherness that will somehow be realized again, because in the next few days, the Dicky family will return to Jakarta.

Ms. Eni smiled at the familiarity of her children, grandchildren and daughter-in-law.

"Sir, if you were here, you'd be very happy, seeing Fitri and Anita each have a happy family, and they have a cute child, our grandchildren will be increasing in number sir!" mumbling Bu Eni while shedding tears, Because She remembered the late husband's Pact of Karta.

"Grandmother? Why is Grandma even Bengong here? Let's eat the grilled fish Nek, there's a ripe tuh!" take Alex while guiding Bu Eni's hand towards a large table in the Cipto hospital yard.

"Next year I will invite you all to come to Jakarta, to celebrate the new year!" dicky said in between his meals.

"Horeeeee!!!!" children's cheer.

"If Grandpa is any age, Grandpa would love to visit you to Jakarta Nak, as well as see the hospital that my Son Rahmat built, I would love to see it!" said Grandpa Cipto.

"I'm pretty sure that you'll live a long life, because you look healthy now!" sahut Dicky's.

Without feeling, the day was far away at night, soon the turn of the year would occur, incense heard the sound of firecrackers and fireworks that adorned the dark sky, just a few minutes away from the turn of the year.

The children cheerfully played fireworks, they seemed to forget their drowsiness.

Dicky and Fitri were also sitting together on a bench in the park, not far from Grandpa Cipto's yard, holding hands, while waiting for the changing of the year.

Anita and Donny also seem to sit together as if they do not want to miss this moment.

"Ma, what are your hopes for the coming year?" dicky asked as he gently stared at Fitri's face which was illuminated by the moonlight.

"Pa, I have no hope whatsoever, other than just wanting to live the rest of my life together with you, and our children, and being able to see our grandchildren happy, as we currently see, that's my only hope!" fitri.

"we have the same hope Ma, I also want to age with you, we go through our days together, in joy and sorrow, in pain and pleasure, only us, I'm Dicky Pradita, together with Fitri, the woman who will be with me until she closes her eyes later!" whispered Dicky.

They also hugged each other, accompanied by the sound of a simple firecracker, and fireworks that began to spread adorn the darkness of the sky, indicating that this time is right at 12 pm.

"Happy new year, baby!" dicky said as he kissed Fitri's lips as much as he liked.

They all shook hands and hugged each other, wishing each other a happy new year.

The children cheerfully blew their trumpets, so that the atmosphere of the night became a thunderbolt Gempita.

"Good new year Doctor!" donny said as he shook Dicky's hand and hugged him.

"Happy New Year too! I pray you're always happy with your family here, I'll take Cipto's grandfather, when I come back to Jakarta!" Dicky.

"You take it easy, Grandpa Cipto is my grandfather, since I was also looking after him!" donny Sahut.

"You must not forget Pret! That Cipto grandpa, right now is my grandfather!" cetus Dicky's.
