In a different place ....
When Anaya, Tama, and Citra conducted a survey to find a new school, it seemed that Mother Dianti and Dad Tendean enjoyed parenting for the first time. If Dad Tendean sometimes play with Citra, but at home with the new little babies this time. Even with Mother Dianti which is the first time experience parenting grandchildren at home.
"That's funny, Mas .. God's miracle, well, both are twins, but they can be different. The gender is different, the face is different, not the same. Only the eyes and lips are the same," said Mother Dianti observed the two grandchildren.
"Yes, Charla and Charel are funny. The Charel is more like Anaya well .. if Charla is dominant Tama," said Tendean's father.
Mother Dianti smiled and looked at the faces of her grandchildren. It is true that Charel resembles his Mother, while Charla resembles her Papa. Until several times Mother Dianti observed the two alternately.
"Yes, there's Mama and Papa's face anyway. Just really, agree ... Charel's dominant face Anaya," replied Mother Dianti.
"really right? When the baby was, I said in my heart that Charel was very similar to Anaya as a baby. Similar," replied Tendean's father.
Mother Dianti laughed, and patted her husband's arm. "So, nostalgia for her childhood Anaya ya Mas Dean .. so funny, it's so," he replied.
"Yes, Mommy .. it feels like just yesterday had Anaya who is still a baby and much crying. Anaya who cried when she saw her friends who had Mother, now my son was already a mother for three children. Very quickly time passed," Tendean's father's story.
Meanwhile, Mother Dianti seemed to smile at her husband. "Time is so Mas Dean ..Sometimes he moves fast and leaves us behind. However, there are times when time also immerses us and it is as if the days we live just walk in their place."
Seemed Dad Tendean let out a long sigh and then looked at Dianti there, "Like the two of us yes Nda.. both wait, and when the time has been brought together, we can be married like this. Funny well, even though we are no longer young," he replied.
"You are still young, Mas .. Maybe when you are 60 years old, you still look young really," replied Mother Dianti.
"Ah, you could be, Di ... you are also young, Mother Dian .. still so beautiful in my eyes," replied Tendean Father.
The middle-aged couple both laughed. Laughing loudly enough, Charel woke up and cried there.
Oek ... Oec ....
"Charel is awake? Must be because Oma and Opa are laughing too hard huh? Charel is awake. Cup ... cup."
Mother Dianti quickly carried Charel. It was funny to see the expression of a crying baby and his curled lips down, and his face flushed red. Then Mother Dianti asked her husband for help to warm the ASIP that was given by Anaya and now stored in the refrigerator.
"Mas Dean, please warm the ASIP first. Just as Anaya knew. Can you?" tanyakanya.
Tendean's father nodded his head and immediately warmed the ASIP with ASIP heater, after which handed the dodot to Mother Dianti.
"It's minimized first. Geez, cry until like this," replied Tendean's father.
Not long after Charla woke up and this time she did not cry. So, Dad Tendean just carry it. After that, the two babies sat down and played with rattle toys while tummy time. Seen Mother Dianti invited to talk her two grandchildren. Because, talking is also an important stimulation from parents to babies to provide stimulation in the sense of hearing.
"It's rattle .. His hand puppet can sound well. Try, Charel and Charla know not what color this is. There is pink, blue, and orange. Wow, it's funny."
While Dad Tendean who saw his wife seemed to enjoy the time to babysit Charel and Charla looked so happy. All because Mother Dianti is a communicative person with small children, with babies.
Mother Dianti also laughed. It feels very unlikely to have a baby at the age of 47, where the reproductive system has decreased and the shadow of menopause has peeked in front of the eyes.
"Is it possible, Mom? It has been 47 years ... has almost five heads," replied Mother Dianti.
"What would you like to check up first to the Obstetrician, if you know later you can find a solution," replied Tendean Father.
Then Mother Dianti shook her head. "No need, after all we are also without targets for offspring right Mas? Already have Anaya and Tama, besides that already have three grandchildren. It's been a lot," replied Mother Dianti.
Not wanting to force his wife, Tendean's father nodded his head. "Yes, it's just that women when they are menstruating should still be able to get pregnant, Nda .. because the reproductive system is like that," replied Tendean's father again.
Again Mother Dianti shook her head. At his age, he doesn't want much hope either. Age is increasing and considering that his age is no longer young.
When Father Tendean and Mother Dianti were chatting apparently Charla threw a rattle and hit the leg Opanya. Then Mother Dianti spoke to her husband. "Thank you, Charla main ... Keep talking, son?"
Tendean's father chuckled amusedly and then shuffled, now the Opa holds his grandson and while talking while singing a song of lizard on the wall. Just sung by Opanya, apparently Charla and Charel were so happy and laughing.
"The idea of grandchildren is fun, Mas" said Mother Dianti later.
"Previous with the kids at the Orphanage is that no fun, Nda?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, nice .. All babies are fun, Mas. Funny and adorable," replied Mother Dianti.
Tendean's father nodded his head slowly. "True Nda, maybe for that reason I feel at home being a widower for a quarter of a century" he replied.
"So the Quarter-Century Widower is proud, huh Mas?" ask Mother Dianti.
Tendean's father again laughed, "Yes, proud .. because I can live everything well and never had an affair with anyone. I can take Anaya into a married life with the right man for her. The daughter was his father's until he was married, so I'm proud of myself having spent a quarter of a century as a father, mother, and friend to Anaya."
Yes, it was Tendean Father's inner voice. So proud and grateful for the 25 years he spent in his youth. Sometimes lonely, exhausted, but considering his daughter who needs it, Tendean's father always got up and underwent several roles in nurturing Anaya's growth and development. Relieved, when her only daughter has entered the household life with the man who loves her.
