“Mother Dianti now what activities?” ask Anaya to Bu Dianti.
"I write books for children, Anaya .. just write the story, if for the illustrator there are others. You see, I can't draw, I can only make a story" replied Bu Dianti.
"It's okay, Ma'am ... Mom's cool, though. Can make a contribution to the world of children's literacy," replied Anaya.
"Oh, I'm normal, Anaya .. nothing out of the ordinary," she replied.
"Keren dong Mommy .. his friend Daddy is cool," Anaya replied.
There both Tendean's father and Dianti's mother looked smiling and then both lowered their faces. While for Anaya and Tama, seeing two middle-aged people also feels funny and also makes both feel like laughing. There is a clumsy even wrong behavior.
"Anaya student too huh? Take the master's program?" ask Bu Dianti later.
"Yes Ma'am .. at the weekend taking a lecture on Early Childhood Education. You know what?" anaya asked confusedly.
Then Bu Dianti nodded his head slowly, "Yes, there are people I know, already like his own child. You know Khaira Amaira, right?"
"Know, Ms. .. she was my lecturer and her college friend Mas Tama first," replied Anaya.
"Last Saturday, when Mas Tendean to Taman Baca with Citra, met with Khaira," replied Bu Dianti.
"Oh, have you known Mrs Khaira for a long time?" tanyakanya.
"Already, Arsyilla's age .. we met also at the Orphanage of Mother's Love. Every month we meet" he said.
"Cool dong, Ma'am ... Bu Khaira is a cool lecturer, great, and his insight is broad. Every time taught by Bu Khaira it was like coming home with a full stomach, because he explained in such detail. Unfortunately, Anaya is already in the third semester, Ms. .. stay preparatory courses for Thesis only," he replied.
"Later can become a Lecturer, Anaya," said Bu Dianti.
"May ya ma'am .. want to also be able to get a good Instructor Lecturer. Which can motivate Anaya so that it can be finished quickly. Want it anyway Ms. .. just how later ya don't know. Mrs Khaira if you call me by what name?" tanyakanya.
"Oh, she called me Mother .. because I am almost the same age as her Mother as well" replied Bu Dianti.
"What's your long-term plan?" ask Anaya again.
"Entahlah Anaya .. sometimes I want to be confused and afraid also to plan in the long run. The age of man no one knows either. So, just follow the flow," replied Bu Dianti.
"If there are no plans to marry?" ask Anaya.
Maybe now Anaya is asking directly to Bu Dianti. There may be a goal to get married. If indeed his father still did not dare to speak, Anaya who would be a mouthpiece for his father. Kala, Anaya asked, the whole family smiled there. Also, the Tendean Father who seemed to bow his head.
"Ehem, so look Dianti .. mumpung now there is Anaya, my daughter .. there is also Tama who is my son-in-law. Will you be part of the Tendean family? Witnessed by Anaya, Tama, and my three grandchildren. Do you want to marry me, be a life companion filling the old days, be a Mother to Anaya, and also become Oma to Citra, Charla, and Charel. I asked for it, Dianti?"
Bu Dianti looked confused, the woman sighed several times and then looked at Anaya who was waiting for an answer from Bu Dianti there. Even Tendean's father who looked tense and also wanted to get an answer from Dianti.
"I mean I applied for this well?" tanyakanya.
Anaya nodded her head slowly, "Yes Bu Dianti .. Will you be a life companion for Dad? Holding my Father's hand until the end of age, becoming Mother to Anaya and also becoming Oma to Trio C?"
This time Anaya really spoke and seemed to propose to Bu Dianti for her father. One that Anaya believed that when her father asked for permission to remarry, that's when her father had found a suitable life partner for her. Anaya just did not want to waste any time and also better to act quickly.
"Should you answer now?" ask Bu Dianti.
"If you can now anyway Ms. .. we are waiting," Anaya replied again.
Bu Dianti seemed to let out a long sigh and then looked at Anaya there, "I'm old, Anaya .. 47 years old, and soon I could be going through menopause with a decrease in reproduction for women. While men enter the second pubescent and they are excited, and I feel unsure. Also, I also have a kara, for marriage there are no parents that I can ask for blessing," he replied.
It was only a fraction of the various logical reasons that Bu Dianti had thought of. Women with a complicated reproductive system is different from men who can continue to be excited, even at the age of five heads, men can also still be excited. While women will already have menopause.
"It can be passed by the judge, Bu Dianti .. or if Bu Dianti has an older brother can be represented as well," Anaya replied.
"I'm an only child, Anaya," he replied.
Bu Dianti asked again, "Can you give me time to think. Maybe I can consult first with my son. Although he was young, but all this time he gave positive and constructive advice" he replied.
"May Bu Dianti ... how long?" ask Anaya again.
"Two weeks can," he replied.
Tendean's father this time who nodded his head slowly, "Well .... For whatever time, I wait, Di.... Two more weeks we meet well?"
"Yes .. Let me think first. If I get older and my body gets weaker, isn't it a problem for you?" tanyakanya.
"No problem, Di," replied Tendean's father.
"If I get older, I could have dementia and decreased immunity. Is it no problem?" ask Bu Dianti again.
"It doesn't matter, Di .. I can accept everything" Tendean's father replied again.
"Well ... two weeks yes Mas .. let me think and decide calmly," he replied.
Yes, at least Bu Dianti needs to think and ask for consideration from people close to him. Hopefully, in these two weeks there will be a good answer from Bu Dianti. They will wait and two more weeks will meet again.
