Marrying Sergeant Major
~ 93 ~
Lala's condition has improved one hundred percent after three days out of the hospital. He no longer complains of dizziness or weakness, his appetite has also returned greedy, and has been on the move even though it is not completely normal.
I, who accompanied and cared for her, really had to control Lala's activities during the recovery period a few days ago.
Right on this fifth day, Lala had returned carefree, her face was no longer haggard, and her brilliant smile always rose every time the opa was funny.
Even the ones who were sick were healed. It's just that nausea, especially in the morning, still continues to struggle. I understand because pregnant women generally experience morning sickness.
Well, because Bima kept asking me to go home soon, we who just enjoyed a vacation one day yesterday, finally canceled the schedule to travel to Universal today.
We will return to Indonesia at noon.
"Dad said he wanted to pick me up, why haven't we reached Bun yet?" Lala, who was helping me pack my clothes, asked me a little about everything.
"Father pick him up later at the airport near Lala's house"
"Aren't you coming here?"
"No boy"
"Why?" This kid is gnawing.
"Maybe you're bored because you often get on a plane, so don't pick you up here"
"Lala doesn't like to get on a plane either" she said, putting the clothes I had folded into the suitcase.
"Mother too" I replied.
"Mother doesn't like it either?"
"Hem" My lips clenched, while both of my eyebrows shot up. Of course I was a little worried about boarding a plane in a state of pregnancy, especially when the plane landing, really critical times during the flight. Imagining yesterday when landing at Changi airport, I raised my shoulders and shook my head in horror. Fortunately, there was Bima. But when I land at Juanda, whose hand am I holding?
Lala??
I clucked in my heart, then prayed that everything would be smooth and safe until home.
"Mother doesn't like why?" lala asked to break my daydream.
"Mother is afraid, La"
"Sama, Lala too" Lala's expression when she said it made me anxious, I then pulled her hand and I peed her cheeks in a tangle.
Lala's laughter kept blaring as I did it.
"Mother love you, son"
"Lala too" he replied shortly after his laughter had subsided. "Lala dear mother, do not want to long do not see mother"
I smiled wistfully, trying to repeat Lala's words in my heart.
"If you don't see why, La?" ask me slowly, with a highlight not separated from Lala's face.
"Lala's afraid of my mother going"
"There's a father!"
"But if his father doesn't come home for a long time, how about it?"
I fell silent, imagining the moment Hana left Lala and before there I was until Lala was two years old, Lala is often entrusted to papi and mami if the Bima mas has a task outside the city for months.
My eyelids suddenly warmed up, there was a puddle of tears that began to fill my pair of eyes. Just as I blinked, a drop of my tears fell down my cheeks.
Lala quickly rubbed it with a somewhat anxious look.
"Mother crying why, was Lala wrong to say, so mother sad?"
"No boy, you're proud to have a child like Lala"
"Promise yes bun, mother do not go, do not love Lala to mama Hana, mother do not stay in Lala. Lala's afraid that there's no mother"
"Hemm" I nodded with trembling lips then carried Lala into my arms.
****
"Ohhhhh!" Lala yelled at me, papi and mami glared at her face. A second later, our view followed where Lala's view had fallen.
It turned out that once out of the boarding pass area, a pair of Lala's eyes caught Bima mas who was standing while waving at the boundary of the pickup place.
The man is still wearing his service clothes, that means from Lanud mas Bima directly here and has not returned home. Not only mas Bima, beside him there is also Mr. Agus, the driver is papi.
Maybe Lala was so happy to see her father after a few days without seeing him. His longing is unstoppable just like me who also misses the caress of Bima mas.
I saw the man crouching, resting on one of his knees. Both of his hands were stretched out while Bima's smile spread so wide.
"Dad! Lala miss daddy!" lala exclaimed as the two hugged, and Bima dyed her daughter's cheeks and forehead after their embrace unraveled.
"Father also miss Lala"
"The handsome father of today" Seloroh Lala who made our laughter instantly broke. Me and my in-laws who had also been among them compactly shook their heads seeing Lala teasing her father.
"Lala likes to see the face of the father who has a smile like this, Lala likes" Candanya again.
Mas Bima widened a clumsy smile to get temptation from her daughter. She kissed Lala's cheek again with anxiety, before then standing up and reaching out to kiss the back of her parents' hands. After that, it was my turn to kiss the back of Bima's hand.
"Sure, Lala didn't come to opa's house? There are still three days off" said Rio.
"No, Lala already misses bobo with her father, I can't wait to get bobo in her room dad"
Papi and Mami smiled in response to Lala.
We separated after a short chat, then both set foot toward each other's cars.
I, who had put myself in the front seat next to the steering wheel, heard my phone ring. Signs incoming message, but I did not immediately open it because I prefer to hear the voice of Bima mas.
"We go home, take a bath, after that I want to take Lala's mother to eat outside"
"Eating outside, huh?" Ask Lala to make sure.
"Yes" replied Bima, turning the steering wheel to the left.
"Yeyyy, Lala hasn't eaten out in a long time. Eat at the restaurant bu dhe Jennaira ya yah"
"At his restaurant budhe Jennaira?"
"Yes, Lala is kangen as well as Lantern, Lala is happy to see his smile"
"Indeed what happened with his smile mas Lanterna, La" I asked to look back.
"His cheek goes into what he likes"
"But if the mas route is not in the restaurant how?" ask Bima while focusing on driving.
"Father phone first, tell mas Tera to the restaurant, can you?"
"Okay, can! We ate at Budhe Jen's restaurant"
Lantern, is his third child mbak Jenaira Anak from pak dhe Haidar, his sister mother Nina. So Jen's sister is her cousin Ken.
Lanterns that have dimples on one of her cheeks, sometimes Lala likes to fad touching those dimples.
The atmosphere was silent, Lala was silent while looking through the street through the window glass, but Bima still remained focused on the steering wheel.
I thought of my phone that was shaking.
Grabbing it from inside the bag, my forehead shrinks as Gesya's name is plastered on the pop up screen as the sender of the message.
Gesya: "Lala has returned to Indonesia, huh, Bi? Can I play at home? I want to apologize to Lala, all you want to have a good relationship with you" (16:30) Wib.
"Who?" ask Bima to see me pensive.
I looked to the right. "She sent a message"
"What do you want?" tanyanya looked straight ahead.
"She said she wanted to go home, she said she wanted to apologize to Lala and make friends with me"
"Truly shameless huh, she! After you've been through, without feeling guilty, she's invited you along"
"It's clear that it was Gesya? Do you have proof?"
"Although I don't have any proof, Bi" Mas Bima glanced at the outside rearviewer beside her right at a glance. "But I'm sure he did it"
"Don't accuse without evidence"
"When, my accusation without this evidence must have been self-evident"
As if Bima mas is very sure that Gesya is the culprit. I fell silent, speculating about Gesya, especially after she sent me a message and wanted to have a good relationship with me.
