💕 HAPPY READING 💕
After 3pm, Zainal asked Bagas to look after Rendra first. Because Zainal wants to pick up his two children who are currently at his in-laws' house while driving Santi home. Zainal promised after the magrib would come back to the hospital to alternate with Bagas to take care of Rendra.
Bagas did not matter, because Zainal also had obligations to his children and his wife. Unlike her who is currently still single, Bagas has not thought of finding a companion.
" Dear you want to go to your father's house or go home first." Zainal asked with a straight fixed view looking ahead, because Zainal was currently driving a car.
" It looks like just come mas anyway if the mas want to take me home first have to go back and forth dong. There's no harm in me coming to pick up the kids, after all I haven't been to mom and dad's house in a long time." Reply Santi chose to come to his parents' house.
" Alright then, later we stop by the minimarket first yes. It's not good to come to visit the house of in-laws, I didn't bring anything."Zainal cried with a smile.
" Yes, yes."Answer Santi briefly.
Santi is very grateful for Zainal's truly drastic change. Before they divorced, let alone to buy souvenirs for both parents Santi. Coming to Santi's parents' house is very rare, not necessarily 3 months Zainal wants to visit his father-in-law's house.
Zainal's car turned to the minimarket, and Zainal went down alone into the minimarket to buy souvenirs that he would bring to his in-laws' house. Santi deliberately asked to wait in the car only, because he wanted to rest for a while in the car.
Not waiting long, Zainal was out with two white plastic bags containing various kitchen needs for his two parents-in-law. Not to forget Zainal also bought snacks for his two children.
" A lot of gold? You buy anything?."Santi asked when he saw Zainal put two plastic bags on the back of the car.
" There's not much, baby, just sugar, tea, oil and cookies. If it is a rather small plastic it contains snacks or snacks for children. It's not that the children's snacks at home are over, is it?." Zainal cried, because this morning when opening the snack refrigerator is no longer there.
" Oh yes, I brought them with me when they left for my father's house last night. Yes already, yuk mas we go directly to the father's house just so we arrive not too late in the afternoon. And we can go home soon. Poor Bagas, there are no friends to wait for Rendra. Moreover, he must have stayed at the hospital every night, pity also he needs time to rest. Where's he working on a script?."Santi again.
Finally Zainal turned on his car engine, and drove towards his in-laws' house. On the way to his father-in-law's house, Zainal and Santi were silent. Zainal let Santi rest his body, Zainal just glanced at Santi who was currently asleep while resuscitating his body on the back of the car seat.
After almost 1 hour drive Zainal car has arrived in front of his house-in-law. And his arrival was welcomed by his two children who ran to each other to approach Zainal and Santi.
" Why has papa picked you up? Kiki and sister would like to stay again. We're not satisfied with harvesting the fish." Kiki protested the arrival of her mother and father.
" Yes, baby, but tomorrow you're gonna have to go to school. If you stay here at school how.?"Ask Santi gently.
" Said grandma school can be from here ma, but no school clothes. Kiki forgot to call Mama to bring school clothes here."Answer Kiki with a pouting face.
" Loh, you're bringing it for grandparents, why eat it with Kiki and Koko?." Zainal asked in a soft tone of voice.
" It's okay Pa. Grandma said if there is food in this house, can be eaten. The important thing is not to waste, Mubadzir waste food. Grandma said she'd cry." Answer koko while chewing her food.
" Kiki, Koko slow down dear. Choking later, if the mouth is chewing food should not talk."Excited Santi's mother who just came from the kitchen by bringing a glass of black coffee for Zainal.
The two sons Zainal and Santi just nodded their heads. Not waiting long, Mr. Santi who just delivered the fish order pelanngganpun already. Zainal greeted his father-in-law with kindness and respect.
" Zainal why carry it around like this. This is in the shop Mother also there, tomorrow-tomorrow if it comes there is no need to bring things like this. The money you better save for your kids' school fees."The mother-in-law of Zainal.
" Yes ma'am it's okay anyway it's just a little kok ma'am. Oh yes sir, how is the harvest of the catfish, is it not finished yet?."Zainal asked his father-in-law.
" So you only harvest 15 kilos Nal, orders from customers only all you do not want to harvest everything, the salal if harvested all of them no one wants to buy it. Moreover, the market is now quiet, so the demand for fish is reduced. That's why you only harvest 15 kilos and continue tomorrow again."Answer Zainal's father-in-law.
Zainal nodded in understanding with what his father-in-law said. From the first his father-in-law was hardworking, used to be a personal driver for years until he could open a business in a fairly large house. Now when he has stopped being a driver, it is raising fish behind the house that the results are also quite decent. Although not breeding much, the important thing is that the father-in-law can have a busy life.
" You guys want to pick up the kids?." Ask Santi.
" Yes sir, because they must have entered school tomorrow and we also can not linger sir. Because later after the magrib, mas Zainal had to go to the hospital to alternate with Bagas to take care of Rendra."Answer Santi.
" Oh yeah, how's Rendra doing, Nal?. Sorry, Zainal, my father and mother have not had time to visit Rendra. Not that you don't want to, but you and Mom are really busy."Said Zainal's in-laws feel bad because during Rendra's time in the hospital they have not visited him at all.
" Yes, Mr. Bu is okay anyway if the Father and Mother visit Rendra Rendra also can not be invited to communication. But today thank God he was able to open his eyes and speak even though his voice was slow."Answer Zainal.
For a long time Zainal had a conversation with his father-in-law and a glass of coffee made by his mother-in-law had also run out. Zainal and Santi asked for permission to leave, with their children forced to come home because they must attend school tomorrow.
After saying goodbye, Zainal and his family got into the car and Zainal immediately drove the car away from his in-laws' yard. Just 15 minutes into the trip, her two children had fallen asleep. Zainal and Santi just throw each other a smile at the behavior of their two children.
" We'll stop by the refueling station first, baby."Zainal.
" Yes, yes."Answer a short relaxing.
After finding a refueling station, Zainal turned his car around and entered the queue. But while waiting in line for fuel, Zainal saw someone he knew very well was peddling his merchandise.
* Isn't that Anita? is that true Anita? Why did his life become like that, instead of working as a cafe waitress but why now become a baker? And where was Mr Iwan, not she was pregnant then ? Has she given birth?.* Zainal murmured in his mind and asked in succession without anyone answering.
