Mas Duda Looking For Mom Milk
The Weekend's Forecast
For Daddy Tendean this weekend it feels different. That's also because on weekends, Tendean's father arranged tables and chairs in his home garden, and then prepared dishes that he thought were Dianti's favorite dishes. Yes, specifically Tendean's father asked ART who worked at his home to cook Sundanese specialties such as Nasi Timbel and Bakakakak Hayam. Not to forget provided Batagor which became one of the legendary menu for Dad Tendean and also Dianti when studying first in Bandung. Yes, Batagor became a food that they often bought together when they were both in college in Bandung.
Likewise with Anaya, Tama, Citra, Charel and Charla who are now in the residence of Opa Tendean. They will also witness the answer that Dianti wants to give to Tendean Father.
"Father nervous?" ask Anaya later to her father.
"Morocco, Aya ... I feel like I'm back young and groggy" he replied.
"First, Tama time expressed love and also proposed to Anaya, it also feels nervous and nervous really Dad. Very Deg-degan," replied Tama who admitted that she also felt so stubborn when applying for Anaya. Moreover, Tama expressed her love and asked Anaya to accompany her when Anaya was at the airport and was about to study in the United States at that time.
"Yes Tama .. although the time has passed, but when facing the present with the same moment, with different people, it feels very nervous," replied Tendean's father.
"True Dad .. humane really. Please pray today smoothly Dad ... then, Bu Dianti come here the same who? Not picked up by Dad?" tanya Tama later.
"Father has offered to pick him up, he said he will come here alone, Tam," replied Tendean's father.
After waiting, minutes and minutes passed, finally there was a silver car that stopped in front of the gate of the house of Tendean Father. However, it feels like this silver colored car is no stranger to Tama. He seemed to recognize the car with silver color.
"Whose car is it? I'm not a stranger" he murmured.
Apparently, when the car was opened there was Ibu Dianti, named Khaira and Radit who came by that afternoon. Ah, it is appropriate that Tama recognized the silver car because several times met when driving Anaya to the campus.
"Welcome" said Tama who opened the gate for her guests who had just arrived.
"Hello Tam" said Radit, nodding his head.
"Include .. This is Dad and the others are already in the park," Tama replied later.
"Halo Mas Tama," greeted Bu Dianti politely.
"Yes, Ma'am .. please come in," Tama replied. As a good host, Tama invited his guests to enter.
In the garden Tendean's father seemed to sigh, when he saw Dianti coming and apparently along with Khaira and Radit. Then, Tendean's father asked Anaya. "He's your teacher, right?" tanyanya.
"Yes Father .. who came at the birth of Charel and Charla first," he replied.
When Bu Dianti, Khaira and Radit, walked closer. Bu Dianti also greeted Tendean and Anaya's father there.
"Hello Mas Dean" he said.
"Yes, Dian," replied Tendean's father.
"Hello Mother ... Healthy mom?" tanya Anaya who then hugged Bu Dianti.
"Well ... wow, has it been specially prepared well? Though we just want to play, and at the same time introduce to the two of you that Khaira and Radit are like children to me. Indeed I do not have biological children, but children close to the heart a lot ... Khaira, Radit, and the children in the Mother's Orphanage," he said.
That's exactly how it is. There are times when those who do not have biological children, their own biological blood, have children who are close to the heart. Just like Mother Dianti who thinks Khaira and Radit are like her own children.
"It's okay, Mother ... Anaya also knew Bu Khaira, Anaya's lecturer at the campus," he replied.
Bu Dianti also laughed, "Later to be each other's children Mother well," he replied.
When Ibu Dianti said that, apparently there Tendean's father looked at Dianti and tried to understand the word that had just been spoken by his old friend. Then Anaya took her father, by clasping her hands in the Father's arms, taking her one step closer to Ibu Dianti.
"Come on Father .. Father's time is now" Anaya whispered to her father.
Looks like Tendean's father sighed and nodded his head, "In ... Dianti, two weeks ago, I asked you to come with me. Accompanying an aging Tendean, unlike the Tendean you knew 26 years ago. Being a Mother to Anaya, my only daughter. Being a good in-law to my son-in-law, Tama .. and being Oma to my three grandchildren Citra, Charel, and Charla. Dianti, do you want to accompany Tendean who is now over the head of this five? Aging with me, filling the old days with love and loving for our children and grandchildren?"
When Tendean's father said his proposal again, Khaira who flanked Mother Dianti's arm was already teary, and she nodded her head when Mother Dianti turned to her.
"Before Mas Tendean .. we are both old, romance seems far from the life of those who will be together in old age. But we can fill each other up. Khaira always said fill the Love Water Tank. So, let us unite into a full tank and fill the glasses of love for our children and grandchildren. I will," replied Dianti who shed her tears.
Looks like Tendean's father sighed and hugged Anaya there. Yes, for this feeling of happiness, Tendean's father hugged Anaya, his only daughter who was to give him permission to remarry. His old age will not be alone, but there will be a hand holding him.
Even with Mother Dianti who hugged Khaira and shed tears, while Radit who stood behind Khaira seemed to wipe his wife's back. Being a person who can witness this happiness makes many people happy and moved of course.
Decomposing his father's embrace, Anaya wiped her own tears and then took his father's hand and put it together with Mother Dianti's hand. In front of his father and his future mother, Anaya also spoke.
"The happiest one here is Anaya .. Finally I want to open my heart. Thank you Dianti's mother for accompanying Dad. Make the love water tank and fill it full," Anaya replies.
The couple who were no longer young seemed to shed tears and smile happily. Then Anaya looked at her father, "Help can be Dad," said Anaya.
Tendean's father nodded in steps and hugged Dianti. A warm and grateful embrace.
"Thank you very much, Dianti .. had to wait 26 years first, until finally this taste was spoken and revealed," he replied.
"True Mas Dean ..had to wait more than a quarter of a century," Dianti replied.
Surrounded by family and loving people, proposals and expressions of love feel so meaningful. Because, it is the family who will accompany Tendean Father and Dianti Mother to be able to age together.
