LOVE BLOWS FROM REUNION
Episode 3: SURPRISE

    "Hello, friends .... We're a reunion, yeah .... It's fixed." WA High School alumni group re-emerged chat about reunion.

    "When ...?"

    "Nataru's. Year-end. The officer can take leave. The holidays are good."

    "Where is it?"

    "Grand Hotel, Yogyakarta, City of Tourism, picnic later."

    "Wah ..., in Malioboro? Funny!"

    "Near the airport, right?"

    "Away from the station?

    "That's near everything ...! Downtown, it's a strategic place."

    "Later can also take a walk to the Yogya Palace."

    "Nr ...!"

    "Who's coming, immediately ngelist, yes ...! For the participants."

    "All come along, no one is left behind."

    "The same family invited. Don't worry."

    "Something is stirring ...."

    "Read ...!"

    "How many days?"

    "The committee provides two-night stay facilities, further borne by itself."

    "Vuayeh .... Funny bungeeet ...."

    "Keereeeen ...."

    "How much do you plan?"

    "Not to pay. There's a donor."

    "Ashiii ...!"

    "Wah ..., great. Who is a donor?"

    "The important thing is to be present! This is the thanks of all of our successful friends. Anyone can be a donor!"

    "I can help you, right?"

    "May once ...! For those who have more fortune, can be a donor! Thanks."

    "Siaaap ..., Ndan!"

    "Come, who joined the hunt ngelist ...!"

    "All must follow ...!"

    "Yes, right. No need to think about the cost!"

    "But to find out the number of hotel room reservations, it still has to be registered!"

    "Ready ..., Ndan!"

    "I'm coming. Anik, 2 people. Note, yes ...."

    "Next ...."

    That afternoon, WA High School alumni group was again crowded with chat about reunion plans. Rini was silent. Dare not reply to the chat that more and more. Worried that he appeared in the group immediately harassed his friends. He is not ready to answer if asked to leave or not. Her husband, Hamdan, is not yet clear on the answer. At least Rini already knew, that the committee provided two nights lodging at the Grand Hotel. If you want to add, if you want to leave before or go home afterwards, of course you will personally bear the costs incurred. But for Rini, it was not a problem. Whatever the cost can be paid. The money is excessive. Even if he had to bear some friends to be paid, he could. But the problem is whether or not he can come to the reunion. Well, just wait a minute. Her husband will decide.

    Indeed, if only a picnic, Rini no less. Let alone Jogja, the most beautiful tourist attractions in the entire archipelago he has ever explored. Starting from the Zero Kilometer Monument in Sabang, Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Mount Bromo, Prambanan Temple, Borobudur Temple, the beauty of the Island of the Gods, Gili Trawangan, pulling Komodo Island, Tugu Katulistiwa, and more, the beauty of the Bunaken Sea, the beauty of the coral reefs at Pintu Kota Beach, to the charm of Raja Ampat, Rini and her family have explored everything. Let alone in the country itself, even abroad ranging from the beauty of the city of Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, playing snow in Switzerland, or Mount Fujiyama, Rini has never been. But this is a reunion. Meet friends in High School. Certainly something very exciting. Something very lively. Something that brings back the imagination in adolescence. Now that is the hope, hopefully Hamdan, her husband, will take the time for his wife to meet her High School friends first.

    Yes, although Hamdan is a director of the company, but he is very happy with the orchid plant. So if he travels to these areas, always take the time to look for orchids that are typical of the area. Like black orchids from Papua, red blood dendrobium orchids from Kalimantan, dendrobium calophyllum orchids from Atambua. It's a rare orchid plant. And Hamdan always ordered Mang Udel to take care of the orchid as best as possible. It should not be too late to water and fertilize. Even Hamdan also ordered Mak Mun so that the washing water of rice should not be thrown away, but used to water the orchid. He said, the washing water of rice contains many minerals and vitamins for plants. So Mak Mun also every morning always give a bucket of rice washing water to Mang Udel to be splashed on the ornamental plants.

    Indeed on the right side of the house Hamdan there is a fairly spacious yard with ornamental plants and orchids are diverse. The park is neatly arranged by Mang Udel, so it looks beautiful and beautiful. If Hamdan is off and at home, he always spends time caring for orchids and ornamental plants. In the park is usually Papah Hamdan and Mamah Rini and Mang Udel storm crop problems.

    "Caring for orchids it takes patience, Mang .... That's what you said, you know" Rini told Mang Udel.

    "Yes, Ma'am .." replied Mang Udel who was still cleaning in the park.

    "Say you, plants are like humans. Can be invited to talk, know that in my dear, the year if treated. He will return the favor, that is, by bringing forth beautiful flowers in bloom." Rini said while stroking the cattleya orchid of a super large purple color.

    "Yes, Ma'am .." replied Mang Udel.

    "Caring for an orchid is like taking care of a wife, if not given affection, she does not want to flower. That's also what you said ...!" said Rini again.

    "Yes, Mom .." replied Mang Udel again.

    "This is a rare orchid, please take good care yes, Mang ..." said Rini.

    "Yes, Ma'am .." replied Mang Udel.

    "This figure can be from the middle of the forest of Kalimantan. You have to wait a week to find this one. The name is scary. Red blood's. Red blood. According to the color of the flowers. It's very protected. That's why I want to try to develop the seeds. Yesterday there were already people willing to mate and would bring it to his lab."

    "Yes, Madam .... Hopefully I can take good care of him." replied Mang Udel.

    "Well, so. It will be given back to us. Including blessings to Mang Udel, given healthy, given enough windfall. And most importantly, our children can succeed and succeed" Rini said.

    "Amijn .... Yes Ma'am." replied Mang Udel.

*******

   The sun had not yet sunk, when Hamdan returned home from the office. Unlike usual, Hamdan came home early. Usually when it's not too late at night, he hasn't come home. He would go home more often when his wife was asleep. Understandably, this is living in Jakarta. A director cannot go home early before the job is done. It is impossible to go home if the staff still have to work. So Handan also enjoyed his work like managing his own household. It is like giving love to his wife and child, like asking for help to Mak Mun, Mang Udel, Mas Jo and Kang Asep. That's Hamdan's leadership. It is natural that all employees and staff are kind and respect him. Because Hamdan considers all employees are his family. That sense of kinship that he instilled in his company.

    Rini who was still dirty with crumbs of dried leaves, dirty by plant fertilizer, dirty by splashing water while taking care of the plants with Mang Udel, immediately rushed to the garage terrace, when her husband's car entered the yard.

    "Sorry, Pah .., my hands are still dirty. She helped Mang Udel clean up the garden" said Rini, who welcomed her husband. Usually, she immediately brought her husband's bag into the workspace. But not this time, because his hands are still dirty.

    "Tumben, Mamah diligently takes care of the flowers." said Hamdan.

    "Eeeh ..., ridicule. Every day, Pah!" sergeant Rini.

    "Yes .., yes .... Joking. I know, Mamah is diligent." said Hamdan with a smile.

    "No need to stay ...!" sahut Rini's. She washed her hands and feet and followed her husband who had entered the house.

    At about seven in the evening, Hamdan and Rini went to the dining room. Enjoy dinner together. For a long time they did not have dinner together at home. Even if dinner together, must be in a restaurant or in a luxury hotel, while accompanying the guests of her husband's clients who discuss business issues. Although as luxurious as any dish, as expensive as any food, it certainly tastes less delicious. It used to be that Silvy, his adopted son who was taken from Hamdan's cousin, was a child, eating together was common. But after his son grew up, after college, Silvy also rarely had time to eat together to accompany his mother. Especially after Silvy married and brought her husband, eating together was very, very rare. At most if the Eid, then all can gather together.

    It's a beautiful night. The night that Rini always awaited to be able to eat with her husband at home, in the dining room that she arranged, at the dining table that her husband bought from Jepara. Although just eating pepes bandeng with sambal terasi, but the pleasure of gathering, the beauty of eating together, that's what makes the atmosphere special.

    "Kok Papah came home early ...? Is the job done?" rini asked while taking her husband's rice.

    "Until any time, the name of the work will never be finished, Mah." replied Hamdan.

    "Yes, yes .... I mean today's job, Pah?!" ask Rini to explain.

    "If Papah has come home, it means that the work can be left. Mama's leave in WA is not read." said Hamdan.

    "Ah, cook anyway ...?!" Rini was shocked, immediately picked up her HP and saw the messages in WA, "Ah, yes .... Sorry, Pah, that was a fun follow-up with Mang Udel in the park."

    "Grandfather .... I'm happy too, Mamah took care of the park. That means that Mom loved God's creation. And importantly, teach Mang Udel how to do good" said Hamdan, who was always happy with what his wife was doing.

    "Well, Pah ...?! How come there's WA from Sister Sarah, secretary of Papah .... Is this Pah?" ask Rini to her husband.

    "Yes, read it first." replied Hamdan.

    Rini opened WA submissions from Sister Sarah, her husband's secretary who always helps all things corporate affairs, including preparing her husband's work agenda.

  "Huh ...! Pah ...! This is really ...?! Ticket to Jogja ...?!" ask Rini to her husband. He was surprised to read WA.

    "Yes .., he said he wanted a reunion to Jogja ..." Hamdan replied casually.

    "Thank you, Pah ....! Thank you, Pah ....! Thank you, Pah ....!" Rini immediately hugged her husband, kissing time and time again. Rini was really happy, happy, happy immeasurably. Her husband had given her a surprise. A much expected surprise. It's really a surprise.
