My wife Canduku
like father, like son

One day, two days, three days, were missed after Karel's death. Beautiful eyes were blank, as if there was something missing in him. He often looks alone.

“Mama, I beg you not to be like this!” The Inca scattered the beautiful daydreams.

“Ah, it's okay. Dear. Maybe because Karel so quickly left Mama and Mama is still very shocked by this incident.”

Fortunately, this incident happened right at the time the Inca and her family were here. Although Harris and Bella are also here, but they no longer live in Karel's house after marriage, they choose to live in an apartment that is bought by both of them.

While playing alongside Maher and Mahira, Indah laughed as if her sadness was gone. But when Maher and Mahira are not nearby, he returns to pensive himself.

“Sister, it looks like I can't leave mom alone here.” Said Inka while looking at her mother who was sitting alone in the garden of her house.

“Yes, I understand. I can't bear to see Mommy like this.” Reply Mario while sipping coffee made by Inca.

They stared Beautifully from the kitchen with a large back door that presented a view of the artificial garden.

“How about we take mommy with us to Jakarta?” Ask Mario.

“What Mom want?”

“No harm, you try to talk.”

“It wasn't a bad idea.”

Inka nodded and said again, “I'll try to talk to mama.”

“Calm down, everything will be fine.” Mario said, hugging his wife's shoulder from the side.

“You don't mind, if we're here one more week?” Ask Inka lirih.

Mario nodded. “Will I set my schedule. Just chill. I'll be here with you.”

Inka puts her arms on Mario. Her husband is the most reliable.

Suddenly Inca cries in Mario's arms. “I'll probably be like mom, if left you.”

“Please, never leave me!” Said the Inca, with eyes that had suddenly flowed by themselves.

“Let alone me. Maybe even I'm more fragile if you leave, even though my body is bigger.”

Sontak Inca laughed after crying. Mario laughed and hugged his wife.

Fourteen days later Karel was lost. The atmosphere returned as usual. Harris no longer lives in his apartment. He was more in this house.

“Ma, Inca will return to Jakarta. It has been almost two months here and Mario has left his work a lot.” Said Inca while accompanying her mother in her room.

“Iya, Darling. Mama understands. Thank you for accompanying mom in times like this.”

“Don't thank me, Mama. In the past when the Inca was devastated even Mama who always accompanied me.” The mother hugged the mother.

‘Inka.” Lovely crying again.

“Ma, come with Inka to Jakarta. Stay with Inka there.”

“Can't Dear. There are a lot of things for Mom to take care of here. Many relics of Karel that have not been completed.”

“Daddy's home and business, can be completed Harris right, Ma.” The Inka shrewd.

“No, Dear. Before Karel died, many words were implied. Before you thought, just a talk, but now you understand what you have to do after his death.”

Inka took a rough breath.

“Quiet, Darling. Mama's gonna be fine here. If you want to go home, go home. Mama will come there if mama's business here is done. After all, mama is not alone here, there is Harris and Bella.”

The Inca nodded, it is true that it is beautiful here not alone.

“Well then, it is important that you should communicate frequently.” Said Inka giving up.

“Sure, Dear.”

Two days later, Mario and his family returned to Jakarta. Welcomed Laras and Andreas. Both of Mario's parents can only say condolences through a video call on Indah, because the distance is very far, and coincidentally the current condition of Laras was not good. If previously Andreas who relapsed with cholesterol and uric acid, now even Laras who is relapsing with ulcer disease akudnya.

“Mama.” Shouted Inca embracing her excellent mother-in-law.

“Mama is healthy?” Ask Inka enthusiastically, the article he has lived the person he loves even though only parents connect.

“Alhamdulillah mama getting better, Darling.”

Mario and Inka greet both his parents, as well as Ambar and Tari. Maher and Mahira kiss both cheeks of their grandparents.

“Duh, Opa kangen once on you.” Sahut Andreas who was crouching wanted to hold his grandson.

“Do not, Pa! They're getting heavier.” Prevent Mario, worried about the condition of the father who is no longer young.

“Papa strong, you don't underestimate papa, Son. Carrying your mama too, papa is still strong.”

“Please on, Pa.” Answer lazy Mario.

Inka and her two baby sitters just laughed and showed her teeth.

“Tau nih papa, don't want to say old.” Ledek Laras on her husband.

They also walked to the car.

“One is alive again here.” Tapping Laras, holding the Inca flat stomach.

“Soon, Ma. If effort is not asked as often as.” Mario Sahut.

Barrel hit his son's head. “Nakal. You haven't changed.”

The Inca laughs at Mario who is always close to Laras. He thought it might be like this when Maher grew up. As long as his perverted behavior is not like his father.

“Like father like son.” Said Mario while glancing towards Andreas.

“Eh.. papa not like you ya.” Andreas Resist. Then they get in the car.
