Moon
Don't Stop Growing

“Mama.. A Juno said tomorrow to Surabaya”.

“Why is it good? Did I go home first?”

“Kasian hasn't dressed the same equipment to get out of town” from noon to afternoon Moon so nervous thinking about a husband who will go out of town. There was a match between feeling annoyed and worrying for Juno to be able to win her heart.

“NOT USAH” Mama Nisa shakes her head firmly. They were both making yam balls at the dining table.

“Before getting married to you, she has used to prepare herself to go out of town”

“Now also he can definitely”

“Your condition is still not stable”

“Mama has told Juno that Moon will stay with Mama for a week” Mama Nisa seemed to casually answer the Moon's questions while smiling on hold.

“Why? Months kangen same husband?” the question immediately made the Moon flutter.

“Engga... ih Mama it... Moon so mind aj”.

“Fear of sin that.. can not do the obligation, it should be Teteh who prepares the completeness of A Juno”.

“Nothing.. for now Mama gives the same permission of the Moon not to do the obligation”.

“Mama learned from experience, if the man should be given clear limits”

“Which can be made gray..which should be black and which should be white”.

“Means?” The moon frowned confused.

“Suami Wife must agree which commitment limits should be built in marriage”

“The problem of the relationship of the couple with the opposite sex is clear..

“Mama used to make gray so it ended up harming Mama and it turns out that suffered not only Mama but also children”

“Financial problems to be made black or white? If black finance is controlled by one party only if white is transparent each holds control in finance but must be open to each other so know”

“Masan let alone parenting in the family, there is a black bold, there is white and there are gray things” continued Mama while frowning as she thought deep.

“What is black, white and grey? Ajarin I mumpung still in the belly of her baby” Moon instantly excited.

“Hmmm the black deal whose nature is not negotiable is that religious education it should be instilled in the family”

“The child's formal education is white can't be black”

“Loh why? Isn't formal education important Ma?”

“Iya important but we have to make a deal with the child, can not parents who impose his wishes. The child must understand and know that education is important for his own future.should be discussed often why he should learn, the benefits of what”.

“Children can choose the education they want to pursue according to their talents and interests, parents only direct and facilitate”.

“If what's grey?” The moon is getting curious. Mama Nisa took a deep breath.

“This child who likes to make noise, which is gray. how to parent children between father and mother likes to be different… sometimes like to make old gray..sometimes restrained so light gray”.

“Papa Bhanu type who likes to pamper children with materials, because it is often busy with work, when going with children definitely grant any request of children. Juno used to be his toys can make the warehouse full.Afi manjanya ask for forgiveness if not obeyed can cry kecer”.

“Mama often ask her Papa children to brake pampering children because it will be a weapon to eat tuan”

“And right when they were teenagers, instead he turned around, imposing his will on merciless children. Wearing threats until the storm and punish in a harsh way in the past he who always granted the wishes of the children”

“We can not force parenting with a partner. because we are both educated in different ways… some allow their children to play gadgets on the grounds of introducing technology early on. There is also a ban altogether his son playing gadget”

“Times of young children.. Papa Bhanu is very dominant in managing the affairs of home”.

“Mama according to him, because your Papa is very hard by nature.. by Mama followed because Mama thinks it is impossible for parents to do bad things to their children, that is a consideration”.

“But it was not like that. fortunately after Mama and Papa separated, Mama can give advice to children so they can change little by little, not too selfish and stubborn”

"For that it is important for the husband and wife to equate the vision of the mission in educating children.It is better to avoid gray ones"

The moon nodded his head in a nod, it was fitting that the nature of Afi and Juno was different from the others. Afi is also stubborn, it is difficult to get friends if it is not one thought with him. They are not always one idea, either, often also cross opinions but Moon knows that different opinions with Afi can not frontal must be followed first and then infiltrated other thoughts that can make him change direction. Afi himself later will decide that the original idea is still less brilliant than the second idea even though the idea is the idea of the Moon.

Like when they discussed about weight during pregnancy, Afi at first did not care about weight for him when he felt hungry he had to eat immediately. It was fortunate that the intestines in his body were not the type that filled with water could rise by one kilogram. When Moon proposed a fruit snack as a snack between meals he immediately refused. When else can eat good without being banned, he replied. But when the Moon showed the effects of postpartum obesity she seemed to start thinking. Then came the idea to make fruit-based snacks so that she still felt enjoying food while pregnant. In the end, the fruits made by the Moon were brought to the office without much protest.

But in contrast to Juno who is a hard and quiet character, sometimes making it difficult for the Moon to understand what his thoughts are. Sometimes uncaring, sometimes warm and loving but often flat as if living in his own world. If likened to a river, in Afi he can measure the depth of the river because the surface of the water is clear. But to her husband she could only see some of the water surface, some of it murky and some of it rushing so that she was afraid to come and get closer.

“Sometimes it is difficult for Teteh to understand A Juno, his nature is harsh and rarely talks about what he thinks”

"Even if the talk has become the result of his thought without telling the beginning of why the thought appeared”

“Hmmmm same as Papanya” replied Mama Short.

“Trus mom how?” The moon looked at Mama Nisa with a confused look.

“Ya already the character wants how again. nature is the nature of someone. Changing the nature is the same as trying to bend wood, it takes time and can not be done suddenly, if forced later will break”

“You've seen why the trees in Korea are short and not high?”

The moon shook his head he never went for a walk abroad.

“When Mama used to walk with the children to Korea, Mama saw why the tree is lush but the height is also right for us to be able to shelter, with a set distance. If in Indonesia such trees are high and vary in size”

“It turns out in Korea they nurture plants with a sense of humanity” replied Mama Nisa with eyes glaring as if to remember the beautiful atmosphere in Korea.

“Haah humanity how Ma... they are tree”.

“Iya so treated with full respect and see the tree as a creature that has feelings just like human”

“Say the trees were originally planted in rural areas and then after large moved to the city”

“After being moved as the tree adapts to the new environment, they are supported by support woods and are set to the same height as the existing tree. So that the trunk of the wood is not hurt when propped up and pulled by a rope so that it is the same height, the tree trunk is protected by coconut coir so as not to feel sick or injured… try to imagine to think of it that far” Mama shook her head in admiration.

“Serius Ma... up to his side”.

“Iyaa... even during winter the stem is protected with coconut coir or cornstarch woven like a mat… so that later in the summer the trees are healthy and can provide oxygen to humans”

“We can learn from there babe”

“If we want to change a person's nature it needs attention and touch that makes the person feel it, reminded in a long period of time so it requires a process”

“Cannot immediately expect people to change attitude if we ourselves do not do anything”

“Mama felt that Juno little by little changed after marrying Bulan”

“More thinking about other people's feelings and want to hear now”

“In the past heeuuuh boro-boro.

“Sabar yaa.. although stubborn and want to win by himself but he is a good and responsible man”.

“Iya Ma... A Juno person is kind and responsible..

“Do not know why yesterday it feels tired and tired of facing Aa, now the innate if you want to feel dizzy directly kleyeng-kleyeng”

“What because Juno met her ex yesterday?” mama Nisa asked with a smile, Moon lowered her head while pouting.

“Do not know also Ma.. may also.. his sprain is not lost-lost”.

“Try the Moon imagine Mama is worse..trued.. abandoned after the company started forward”.

“Sickness hadeuuuh no need to ask deh Teh” Mama smiled bitterly.

“Sorry so make Mama sad” Moon rubbing Mama's arm while smiling wryly.

“Nothing... now Mama is sincere... have let go and do not think about it again”.

“It takes time indeed... but Mama can be sincere after contemplating and thinking”.

“Why in marriage we do not want another woman present.why so our husband has another woman we feel heartache”.

“We feel that our partner is ours.. like we have an item that we like.

“When other women come.. we feel that ours is something to take so we have to share..

“From there Mama began to think.. how do we not feel hurt and lost... then Mama found her way” Mama smiled seductively looking at the eyes of the Moon that had been rounded so curious.

“What Ma... iiih Mama tuh fad so rich Afi” Moon holds Mama Nisa's hand with anxiety.

“Hahahah your face until mangap gitu... funny really look at it.. Juno pantesan flabby same kamu” Mama pinch the cheek of the Moon with anxiety anyway. So it looks like it is filled with powder.

“So so that we do not feel lost and hurt is not to consider our partner as our property”

“They are people entrusted by God to live life together in the world”

“The name of the deposit can be taken at any time.maybe with death.maybe by another woman.

“Seriously! Mama thinks like that?” tanya Moon.

“That's why Mama used to want to be polygamous with Papa?” Ask the Moon curiously. Mama smiled while shaking her head.

“Nggak... Mama used to receive polygamy because Mama was not ready if the children had to lose Papanya”

“Let Mama suffer but the children should not lose Mas Bhanu” Mama's voice sounds bitter.

“But it turns out Mama was wrong.. Mama has not received the betrayal done by her Papa children so that every day must fight and cry continuously so that makes the children become depressed”

“Afi his mental health is disturbed, Juno must also experience the same thing but because he is male so tend to choose diam”

“From there you start thinking.. If you are not happy, the children will also not be happy” in the end.

“Mama began to try to learn sincerely... restore the deposit given by God first.. if in marriage it is a meeting between men and women then every meeting there will be a farewell”.

“The most desirable parting in marriage because of death if you can choose not because of divorce but basically the same right.

“So Mama thought maybe God has predestined Mama to part faster”

“What is entrusted will be taken back..The matchmaking rope has been broken”.

“From there Mama accepted sincerely.

“Not ours but belonging to the above” Mama smiled bitterly, Moon responded with a sad smile. It turns out that Mama's thoughts are very deep when responding to her separation with Papa Bhanu.

“But the Moon seems not to be as sincere as Mama.. see the husband as a titipan” said Moon with a soft voice.

“Hust... we do not know when the deposit was taken by Him.. always be sure that God is the Owner of the Universe..

“So we won't feel heavy when we lose something in the world”

The moon nods its head in understanding. He took a deep breath as if trying to fill his lungs with air that could only be felt in the world.

“Nahhh Moon want to know how to make a husband as a deposit from God is still ours?” mama asked as she looked at the Moon which seemed to be full of burdens of mind.

“Where's Ma? Mama Ihh many great stories..I am very grateful to have a rich Mama-in-law Mama” Moon hugged Mama's hand tightly.

“Your hands are full of flour.. Mama's clothes so dirtyr ahh” Mama pouted looking at her flour-filled clothes from the hands of the Moon.

“Hahahaha sorry..sorry later Washin deh” month.

“It was just ... the sick daughter-in-law was even told to wash... later called evil in-laws again Mama” Mama patted wheat flour attached to the sleeve.

“Ma... So how can our husband not glance at other women.. not cheating” asked Moon expectantly.

“Hmmmm.” Mom is like thinking hard.

“This is based on the results of Mama's thinking after experiencing divorce”

“So Mama used to be married to Papa, then Mama decided not to work in the family company and became a housewife”

“It does not matter actually being a housewife..because it is a noble job, not all women are given the opportunity to just be a housewife”.

“The mistake that Mama did was MAMA STOP GROWING”

“Stop growing? What does it mean?”

“Iya Mama stopped growing.. Not growing physically but growing into a knowledgeable and insightful human”.

“Mama only thinks about how to raise children so that they grow up healthy, how to take care of a husband so that it can work well”

“But Mama does not think of herself Mama to be a person who is constantly growing and knowledgeable”

“Mama is not looking for new things that make Mama have new insights that make Mama have a diverse experience and have a future orientation”

“Mama being a boring personal”

“Yang can only tell the activities of children at home”

“That always asks when Papa will be home?”

“That tells the dizziness of a maid at home who has difficulty cooperating, a neighbor who wants a lot and the same things every day”

“And you know for yourself that your Papa is a very ambitious person..he needs women who have the same insight and vision in developing the business”.

“Mama was late realizing it” Mama took a deep breath.

“Since primitive times the male instinct is to be a hunter.. she is happy to look for something she does not yet have.. when Mama is at home and becomes an ordinary housewife.

“No challenge to conquer” Mama smiled bitterly.

“Makanya Papa looking for different women.. who can give what he was looking for at that time..women who are ambitious and have the same pleasure in looking for business profits”.

“Walaupuuuun.. In the end now your father is reaping what he planted hehehhehe” Mama laughed mockingly.

“She was stabbed from behind by the woman.so Mama let it now she bled..mistakenly weeee” Mama laughed happily but her face still looks sad.

“Mama still love not the same Papa?” ask the Moon suddenly. Mama frowned looking thoughtful.

“Hmmmm love is not well.. do not know Mama never thought about it... have sincerely let go of ownership.. Mama has the same handover that at Top” Mama shows her finger up while smiling casually.

“Wuarrbiaza…. Today her chat quality time so much” Moon hugged Mama tightly.

“Month will try TO KEEP GROWING” he said confidently.

“So that A Juno will still see the Moon as a hunted” she continued again, Mama immediately laughed.

“Fighting! Although working at home do not stop growing..had to be a growing person in order to remain a husband” hunt.

“If you don't want to grow.. Prepare sincere knowledge... release the sense of ownership and return to the above” continued Mama, Moon immediately shouted.

“Gaaak mauuu.. has not been nyampe to the science of sincerity... Mau grew up aja... wedlock is not yet a year.. the time has been sincerely” saw the face of the Moon that pouted Mama laughed happily.

“Ya already now think how to grow up not to the side hahahahaha.. Mama want to fry first yah” yah move to the kitchen by carrying a large pile of Ubis Lobby on a plate.

As the Moon thinks of a good and true way of growing, one message goes into its hp.

“Congratulations! Your company passed the selection.. You prepare exposure to be able to compete with other companies”.

“Material to be prepared has been sent via email”

“Prepare yourself well.. The day after we start the selection stage 1”.

The message from Cedrik makes the Moon's heart stop beating. He wanted to jump and scream happily but realized that his condition was pregnant so he could not be impulsive. Moon's hands trembled so shocked, he did not expect at all. In the first experiment they successfully participated in the selection.

But for a moment he thought, his physical condition is not so good. Although now it has improved and has been able to move normally but still not stable. Juno left for Surabaya for two days, with their condition now strange if suddenly asked her husband to cancel the departure tomorrow morning. Must have made an appointment with a client in Surabaya and bought a plane ticket. Too many parties would be harmed if her husband had to cancel his departure.

Doni is guaranteed not to want to go alone, and his English skills are very low. While exposure must definitely be done in English because it invites investors from outside. Sarah was the last person to be chosen, but she was the most vile creature to lose. He will not want to get involved in things that he does not master and know before. Several times Moon asked Sarah to accompany him when he was going to meet Cedrik he must have refused on the grounds that he was not a financial analyst.

The moon took a deep breath. He should be able to get through this, just a presentation about the content of the proposal, not physical activity. He'll surely be able to…. His hands clenched to strengthen himself.

“I Must Grow...”.
