Muara Kasih Single Mother
Dad Om
A prose once said, "If only I could choose .. I'd rather live a simple life if Dad was always beside me. Compared to living luxuriously, but rarely could I see the smile of the hero who lived me."
Such an ironic expression for Ervita and Indira now. A father is a hero to his wife and son, a family hero. However, both of them could not feel the figure of the hero in his daily life. So Ervita also tried to calm and strengthen Indira by giving affirmations to her son. Indeed, he was born without a father figure, but that does not mean the world collapsed for him. Ervita for two years is really trying to be a figure of Mother and also a father for Indira. Yes, Ervita who works hard, when the pangs are full because ASI-hi Ervita is still working spirit. When he sleeps less at night due to staying up late, Ervita still wakes up early. When Indira's afternoon is often fussy and clinging to his mother, Ervita holds Indira while eating and while recording the sales she reported to Bu Tari. Working hard, saving to meet the needs of both lives.
Indira who was starting to calm down apparently asked again. "Did's father, na?" (Where is Indi?)
Ervita smiled there, although her heart was so bitter with questions from Indira.
"The body is Mother" he replied.
"Au Jayah ... Didi au," Indir again said he wanted Dad, yes Indi also wanted to have Dad.
"Mother can buy milk, biscuits, clothes, and dolls for Indi .., but Mommy can not give Father to Indi," he replied.
Calmly and suppressing his own feelings, Ervita tried to calm his son who this time said he wanted a father. However, Ervita felt a terrible turmoil hit her heart. The turmoil that made him realize that in this life there are many things that Ervita can not give to Indira.
"We go inside, Mother eat Eyang Putri first. Indi don't cry huh? Temanin Mommy well," he said.
Indira nodded her head, and she re-entered the Hadinata family home, gathering in the dining room. Apparently the family had also not eaten and waited for Ervita.
"Here, crying?" asked Bu Tari with a laugh.
"Eyang Putri ... usual fuss," he replied.
"Well, Ervitya has joined .. yuk now lunch. Spent to be full. It was seen that Bu Tari filled the plate of Mr. Hadinata, as well as Mbak Pertiwi who filled the plate of her husband. While Ervita and Pandu fill their turn to fill their plates.
Pertiwi put Lintang in the Baby chair while feeding Lintang with Chicken Opor that is not spicy. While Ervita while holding Indira.
“You eat first, Vita .. here so that Mother who ngajak Indi,” said Bu Tari who gave the opportunity for Ervita to enjoy eating.
“No need, Ma'am .. This is okay. Already used to it,” replied with a smile.
Bu Tari also undoes his intentions. However, also feel proud of Ervita who since Indira was born used to take care of her baby alone. Even as fussy as the baby Indira used to be, Ervita tried hard to calm herself, although Ervita sometimes cried and was overwhelmed, but Ervita was so persistent and tenacious to nurture Indira.
“Lintang wants to be bribed Papa,” Lintang whine that turns out to be spoiled once the Papa comes.
Damar asked for a spoon from his wife's hand and fed Lintang. The little girl who saw that started to cry. He who was also bribed by his mother, suddenly did a movement of silence and did not want to eat.
“Nda, Jayah,” quietly.
Ervita whispered to Indira, "Eating yuk .. bribed Mother," she whispered also to Indira's ear.
However, Indira shook her head, and observed the Latitude that her Papa was feeding on. Ervita who saw that actually felt mellow. However, how else could he not do much for Indira.
"Why doesn't Indi eat?" ask Mr. Hadinata who paid enough attention to Indira.
"You want crackers, Kakung get crackers?"
Indira shook her head again, unwilling to with the crackers that the middle-aged man she called Kakung offered. Pandu who sat beside Ervita finally glanced at Indira.
"Will you come with Om?" tanyakanya. Indeed, during this time Ervita and Bu Tari used Indira to call Pandu with the name Om.
Not expecting, Indira also wanted to. So now Pandu eats with one hand only and the other hand holds Indira who is now sitting on his lap.
"It's been on the bench Om.. now Indi eat well. If Indi does not eat, Mommy is sad, loh," said Pandu who also asked Indira to want to eat.
"Om Yayah ...."
Reply Indira who actually called Pandu with Om Father. Not angry, the family there laughed. Even Damar and Pertiwi were as if they were shaking. On one side Ervita could only lower her face. Really, he never taught Indira. However, Indira just by itself called Pandu with the name Om Father.
The young man smiled and rubbed Indira's head, "What did you call me?" tanyakanya.
"Oom Hayah Didi ...."
He means his father Indi. Pandu smiled there, and the big family laughed again. Age is indeed Pandu is mature. The young man is 29 years old, but has remained single for the past five years. Bu Tari and Mr. Hadinata also want his youngest son can immediately release his bachelor.
"Om Pandu, Indi" replied Ervita.
Indira cried and shook her head, "Yayah ... About Yayah Didi."
"Cup Darling .. yes, call Om Yayah it's okay," Pandu replies by coding a small glance and nod to Ervita.
Pandu does not matter if indeed Indira calls him Om Dad, after all Pandu is also affectionate with Indira and there are times when Indira often invites him to play together, if he is free.
"That's okay, Ervi .. her name is also a child. Probably saw the same latitude of her Papa, so she also wanted to. Isn't that Indi?"
Ms. Tari said and felt it was okay. After all, it's just a kid who might want something like his peers.
"Later to get used to you, ma'am" replied Ervita.
"As long as Pandu doesn't mind it's okay" replied Bu Tari.
"Dihalalin is also nothing," said Pertiwi clearly.
Ervita could only lower her face. While Mr. Hadinata and Ms. Tari also laughed. It is indeed considered Pertiwi if joking like that.
Ervita preferred to be quiet and continued to finish her food. Indeed, this incident was unexpected, while Pandu was also busy talking to Indira who spoke not yet smoothly. Even since I was held by Pandu and also while being fed by Ervita, Indira did not cry anymore and also looked ordinary to see Lintang which was just spoiled with her Papa.
