Me And You For Us
Essay 2

Kandara thought about what happened after meeting Darel for real.

'Seeing his reaction to Lucha's time on the Toll. He did not hesitate to face Lucha. Micah knew that well, so he gave the code to keep going.'

I enjoyed her affection so much that I forgot to pay attention to other things that could make us understand. Things that could make Darel angry. Mama said 'let's just say that Darel scolded you.'

'Why did I forget to ask Mama why Efraim came to pick me up at the Rest Area, Jagorawi Toll. Ephraim sat in the back. Mama must have seen Darel angry, so told Ephraim to come down.'  Kandara kept thinking and deepening.

'At that time I was too shocked by everything that happened in a row because of the sudden arrival of Darel. Makes me not see everything well. And Darel understood the situation very well.'

'As for me until now, I have not understood anything. I need to find the driver immediately, if I don't want to see him angry. Because he said it twice.' Kandara took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He sat on the edge of the bed, clenched his hands together and prayed in his heart, so as not to wake his daughter.

'Yes, Father..

Give me wisdom to see and understand all things well. Please perfect everything we prepare for our event tomorrow.

In the name of Jesus, we ask. Amen.!'

Mentari has awakened the entire universe, including the Selvine Bu family. Kandara had woken up early in the morning and was helping her mother in the kitchen.

"Because, you better clean the front yard. There may be dried twigs or flowers that have withered and all at flush. Mama's gonna make us breakfast. Later the children to school, but do not need to participate in ex-school activities." Said Mrs Selvine as she began preparing breakfast.

When the children woke up and saw Oma and Mama were busy, they asked.

"Morning Oma,." Greet them simultaneously. "Morning.., it's good you're awake. Please tidy up your rooms well and tidy." Said Mrs Selvine. Soon the children realized, the condition of the house was clean and tidy more than usual.

"Okay, Oma... But Oma, do you want an event.? And where's Mommy..?" Ask Ephraim.

"Mommy is cleaning the yard again, because your Grandma and Grandpa are coming today." Said Mrs Selvine. The children cheered and immediately ran into the courtyard.

"Morniiing Mom." "Morniiig. Thank goodness you guys are awake. Please clean your room."

"Yes Mom., Oma told you."

"Then, please follow what Oma said." Say Kandara again.

"Okay, Mom. But can we take a school day off today...? Because Oma said, Grandma and Grandpa would come." Ephraim said as the two of them clenched their hands in their chests.

"Well, Mommy's gonna ask your teacher for permission." Kandara and her children hugged her.

Kandara allowed it, because she thought there would be a lot of time wasted on the road to take them to school. He better use it to go to the car wash. Not to mention having to pick them up.

'So remember the words of Darel, it's good that you have a driver.' Kandara smiled to herself when she remembered.

"Why are you smiling to yourself like that.?" Asked Bu Selvine who had suddenly been standing nearby.

"Ngga, Ma.., the children were cheerful to hear Grandma and Grandpa would come, they asked for a holiday today. So Dara's gonna have time to wash the car." Said Kandara distracting., because If breaking her mind, her mother will sing without tone this morning.

After they all finished breakfast, Ms. Selvine went to the market to buy some cake ingredients. Ms. Selvine will make a cake to prepare at home, as the new afternoon of the Darel family arrives.

Kandara went to wash the car, while buying some fresh flowers to put in the living room and dining room. Not to forget also he bought a good quality towel and louded it quickly.

Once at home, she was delighted, the children had tidied up their rooms neatly and cleanly. He put a towel on the bed of the guest room and also in his room.

After that, he arranged the red and white roses he bought and placed them both in the living room. Because the dining room is still used by Ms. Selvine to make cakes and pudding.

After that, Kandara cleaned all the bathrooms and placed the toiletries. Who knows if there is any benefit.

After seeing everything was quite neat, Kandara reminded Mama to put a flower arrangement on the dining table. He plans to leave for the airport early.

He was not wearing formal clothes. He only wears long pants and a collared blouse as well as a short-sleeved blazer. He was wearing heels, because he was going to drive a car.

Not to forget he prayed for Darel and family flights, as well as his trip to the airport. May they all be in the mercy of God.

Kandara took the car keys, and said goodbye to her mother and the children.

"Kids, don't forget to pray for Daddy's flight and Mommy's trip to the airport, yeah." Said Kandara, kissing the tops of her children's heads and kissing her Mama's cheeks.

Seeing that the time is still possible, Kandara stopped by her salon for creambath. He wanted to stretch the muscles in his neck and shoulders which were extremely tense.

So when he met Darel's parents, he was not like someone who had just finished forced labor.

*((**))*

Kandara had arrived at the airport before the arrival time of Darel and the family. He was grateful, because the streets were not too crowded. So that he could sit down to stretch his legs for a moment.

Not long after, Kandara's phone shook. It was Darel who called.

Kandara immediately accepted it.

"Allooo, Darrel.."

"Allooo Dara, where are you.?" Ask Darel.

"I'm already at the airport, on arrival. You're out.?" Ask Kandara.

"Gosh, sorriii.., I forgot to tell you we're down at Terminal 'Q', because we're on a private plane." Darel. Hearing that, Kandara froze. He put his right hand on his chest.

"Allooo, Dara.. You hear me.?" Darel asked because he did not hear his voice. Kandara immediately took control of herself and replied.

"Ooh yeah, Darel. I'll be there. Wait a minute." said Dara directly to the parking lot.

"Ok, be careful, and don't rush." Darel said while rubbing his hair. He was beginning to understand Kandara.

They were still sitting in the lounge room, when they saw Darel's attitude, Mr. Darpha approached and asked

"Darel, what's up.?"

"Daddy, I forgot to tell Dara that we're on a private plane, so she's waiting at the commercial terminal. Daddy please calm Mommy down, yeah, maybe Dara's been here a while." Darel asked for support from Mr. Darpha.

Micah, who noticed something was wrong, kept talking to her Mommy. Tells about when they vacation at the top. To distract her Mommy.

Not long after, Kandara called.

"Allooo, Darel. I'm here. I'll wait at the exit." Kandara.

"Ok c u." replied Darel and immediately took his parents out while whispering to Micah.

"Thank u." Micah nodded in understanding.

Upon seeing that Darel's parents had already come out, Kandara bowed in salute. But Miss Richel hugged her.

"God, Dara, your heart's like a man running a marathon." Whisper Ms. Richel while rubbing her back. Kandara's face immediately flushed.
