Mas Duda Looking For Mom Milk
Thinking of Advice from Children
Presumably what Anaya and Tama said made Tendean's father think. Indeed in the last 26 years, Tendean's father had no thought of getting married at all. Her life is focused on working and also on raising Anaya. Tendean's father wanted to even not have a Mother, but the affection he gave it would always be enough for Anaya.
In the past, indeed the parents of Tendean Father himself gave his blessing to marry again. Given that he was young, and Anaya who was still a baby also needed the figure of the mother. In fact, Tendean's father did not falter, he still stood on his decision to be a widower.
Now, Tendean's father is seen sitting in the garden in the porch of Anaya's house with his son-in-law, Tama. The two men seemed to be chatting with each other.
"Dad seems to think, huh?" ask Tama first to her father-in-law.
Tendean's father smiled and nodded his head slowly, "Yes .. It was strange to hear Anaya tell Dad to get married. This is the first time in 26 years. Anaya never said this before. So, as a Dad .. it makes me wonder," he replied.
Then smile there. "That's because now that Anaya feels grown up, Dad .. feels like there's a figure holding Dad's hand through the old days. Sharing love with people loved by Dad," Tama replies.
Then Tendean's father laughed for a moment and let out a long sigh, "What kind of love, Dad has forgotten, Tama ... after losing Mother Desy it feels like Dad closed his heart and focused on raising Anaya. Father's only precious treasure is Anaya. He's Dad's world, which makes Dad last and also makes Dad strong" he replied.
"It is not easy to live life as a widower, Father .. One year for Tama just felt so long. However, when Anaya comes and nurtures Citra, Tama's heart is touched. Being reunited with a woman who loved Tama in the past and was reunited as Mother Milk was strange. However, Tama was sure the feeling appeared bigger than Tama could have imagined," she replied.
It feels strange, Anaya used to be Tama's girlfriend, although not for long. Then it broke up, and was reunited under completely different conditions. There is a great awkwardness, but as time goes by Tama's feelings also grow bigger for Anaya.
"Yes, it can happen. If for Dad, it looks like Dad is too old, Tam. That desire like you said never appeared in these 26 years. I don't know, I'm thinking about what Anaya just said" Tendean's father replied again.
"Is Mother Desy Dad's first love?" tanya Tama later.
Tendean's father then smiles there, "It wasn't Dad's first love .. long ago, when Dad's High School was in love with a girl. Just like it, dating in the end is only after graduation Dad moved to Jakarta and he remained in Java. In Jakarta, Dad met with Anaya's mother, fell in love and eventually you got married. Unfortunately, our marriage only lasted 2.5 years. After that he died, and Dad became a widower until now."
Together with Tama, Tendean's father can even tell how his past used to be. First love in High School, and a meeting with Mother Desy, as well as the age of marriage that only runs 2.5 years.
"There may be trauma to the father .. fear of being left behind and also fear of loss. So Dad's been widowed for over a quarter of a century. In the past, Anaya's grandmother also told Dad to get married while still young, but Dad was busy pursuing a career and also nurturing Anaya. Drowning in those two activities, until finally here comes Father .. just as you can see," replied Tendean Father again.
"Don't take Dad's heart. After all, we as a child also pray and hope you are happy. If anyone accompanies Dad, it's much better" Tama replied.
"Even so confide in you," replied Tendean's father.
"It's okay Dad ... It was nice to hear Dad's story. At least in the past, we have both lost and also widowed," replied Tama.
"If you're an ex-duda, and an immortal widower's father maybe" he replied.
The two laughed together. Father-in-law and son-in-law can confide in each other and also laugh together. The laughter of the two made Anaya come down from the room and approached her father and husband.
"What's so exciting talking about?" ask Anaya.
Anaya there laughed, "Mas Tama who is a former widower and father who is an immortal widower well?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, I was thinking about why you told me to get married again. This is the first time you've asked Dad to marry again. So, I confided in Tama, "reply to Tendean's father.
Anaya nodded her head, "Anaya said so because Anaya loves Dad. Enjoy the days together. If there is a candidate later, introduce Anaya first yes Well," Anaya replied again.
"There is no candidate, Aya .. is not that easy either. After 26 years, could that desire still exist."
Tama then looked at his Father-in-law, "It will present itself Father. It will definitely appear later," replied Tama.
At least Tama tells that the reproductive system and the desire for biological needs for a man does not know age, so it can return to desire. In contrast to women who when he is already in menopause will decrease his desire for biological needs.
"Ah, you could have, Tam," Tendean's father replied with a laugh.
"Seriously Dad .. getting older is getting stronger," he replied.
Anaya who was there was even a head bob listening to the chatter of two men with two generations. Until Anaya returned to voice.
"Ish, the chat began absurd, there the same father Mas Tama to the coffee shop only. Sapa tahu while drinking coffee continue to get enlightenment," he replied.
Tendean's father then laughed, "No need .. Your husband is really right."
Pause for a moment of their conversation, then Tendean's father asked Anaya, "Well, next week can you not invite Citra to Ragunan? Citra said it wanted to go to the zoo," he said.
"Maybe Dad ... are you two the same Dad?" ask Anaya again.
"Yes, Citra is already big .. can walk alone, just elegance and eat together really. Can't you?"
Anaya and Tama nodded their heads slowly, "Yes, can Dad .. be careful well," Anaya replied.
"Of course .. thanks yeah," replied Tendean's father.
Tama then glanced at his father-in-law, "Well know meet a soul mate who arouses desire there Dad," said Tama.
"Yes, just pray ... Dad doesn't want to be rash either. You lost once, and now you're old. Must be more careful. Getting married at twilight is also a lot to think about" Tendean's father replied.
Yes, what Tendean's father said is true. Even getting married at the age of twilight with all its problems is not young and should be more careful. Tendean's father does not want to be rash, but it must be selective, if indeed he must be married, then it must be with the right woman, a woman who can love Anaya and also love her three grandchildren.
