My Father Misses
Togetherness
Today I woke up a bit bad luck because today is Sunday so a long day of rest for me and besides last night my sleep was not so total because I realized because the same dream that always come like a ghost in my sleep.
"Huaaaahhh.." I took a deep breath.
I fix myself and my room and then come down to my father and mother who are already in the family room.
"Good morning everyone," I said hello to mom and dad.
"Good morning by noon dear," mother seduced.
"Well... Dad's son is up, right?" Tempting father.
I blushed and approached my parents who were enjoying tea and some snacks made by my mother.
"It's yours," mother offered me a cup of tea.
"Thank you ma'am."
I drank the drink my mother gave me.
"Hmmm.nikmat, it tastes like lemon tea" I said.
"Well, baby, this is lemon tea made home by your mother" said the father.
"But there's a taste of roses too?" Ask me
"Dear, this tea mom mix with rose powder." Answer mom
"Well mom's great!" Praise me.
Not to forget I also took a snack that has been served by mother and chewed it so greedily.
"Lila..completed class XII, where do you want to continue your studies?" Ask dad.
"Hmmm, dad. Lila is still in XI." Answer me.
"I mean father, lila must have a plan from now on so that it can be prepared carefully do not origin or just too crowded."
"Take a major that suits your skills and also your talents, so that it can support your future."
"Yes yeah.., lila think about it. Once it's fixed, Lila will tell dad.
"Mum..., today it's good to cook purple yam salak seeds compote huh?" My word.
"Yes, let's make it!" But I don't know the ingredients, son.

Exam tomorrow so this afternoon I don't leave the room because I'm busy studying.
The class test, I need to focus. Let me keep my grades.
I don't want my grades to drop and let my parents down.
"Tok..but.tok..."
My bedroom door was knocked.
I opened my room door.
Creeeeeeaaaaaatkk....
"Here, let you be excited."
Mom brought me a glass of milk and some of my favorite snacks.
"Thank you ma'am."
"Can finish the exam lila's body stretch all this."
My mother and I laughed, and our laughter made my father come to us.
"It's exciting, can you join me?"
"By yeah" I answered.
Me, mom and dad, we were joking together. We were so happy.
We were busy chatting until we forgot the time, when it was night.
"Mom we don't eat? I'm hungry!"
"Oh.., until I forget." Mom hit her forehead.
"Come on, lila," Take mom and dad together.
"Lila just ate a little more, Mom, yeah. Lila is still full."
"Lila doesn't want to keep mom and dad eating?" Ask dad.
"Hmmm.not so well,"
I was silent for a moment.
"Come," take me.
"So dong," said the father.
We all headed to the dining room.
Mom and I put food on the table, and Dad waited for us to finish preparing dinner.
"Come on, the food is ready." Said mother.
"Feeling my son and wife really good, I think we can open this business. Culinary business."
"Dad there is, mother's cooking is not so perfect yet."
"Yes..be not perfect is as good as this, what else if perfect yes." Praise father.
"Yes mother, this is always self-humiliation." Continue me.
I want to be like this, with my parents. The person I love the most and most in my life.
The most precious moment of my life was being with my parents.
Unreplaceable.
I smiled at my father and mother who were teasing each other, I was so happy.
I want to see them happy like this, until their hair turns white, until I get married, until they pet their grandchildren. Until death do them part.
I was so hopeful, even so hopeful.
Suddenly my tears dripped down my cheeks, happy tears. Happy to see my mom and dad.
I quickly wiped away my tears, I was afraid that my father and mother would misunderstand my tears.
Finish eating me and mom and I clean up the utensils and dad's waiting for me and mom in the TV room.
After my mom and I finished cleaning the utensils, we joined my dad to watch TV shows and chat.
"Lila's at 09:30, you take a break." Mother's orders.
"Yes, tomorrow you wake up like that." Said father while holding back a laugh.
"Hmmm.dad, lila rest first huh. Good night, well, good night, ma'am."
I'm heading to my room.
Before I rested, I took the time to pray for a moment. Because I was afraid that dream would come to haunt me continuously.
I also sleep in my sleep.
