Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)
48. Reminiscing

°°°

In the end Abi and Umi stay at the residence of the Herwaman family, although heavy for Abi but he did not have the heart to see the eyes of his daughter who wanted them to stay.

Dinner time came, they were all sitting at the dinner table. Dinner this time Rara does not cook alone, he is accompanied by his beloved Umi. Although it has been banned by grandfather because they are guests, but Umi is still a Umi who can not sit still and wait.

"We are not relatives, so I will consider this house also my house is not a guest" Umi told grandfather.

Maybe that's why Rara also prefers to do a lot of things while in the house, definitely downhill from her umi.

Rara is happy she can finally feel cooking with the Umi again after a long time. Although there are usually many who help her, but the servants are too polite to her so Rara feels sorry for them.

As usual grandfather sat at the end as the head of the family, while Abi and Umi sat next to each other on the left and Rara and Revan next to each other on the right.

Just this time the newlywed couple was sitting next to each other at the dinner table. Actually no one told Rara where to sit when she first came. He just followed his heart and it turns out that grandfather and Revan did not mind him.

Grandpa allowed everyone to eat. Rara was about to stand up to serve grandfather, as she used to do but grandfather prevented her.

"Just serve your husband, grandpa can be alone" prevent grandpa.

Rara looked at her umi face, as if asking if it was okay if she did not serve grandfather and Umi nodded her head, it was okay because it was an order from grandfather himself.

Rara finally sat back down and she served her husband. Abi who saw it was little by little reducing his anxiety during this time.

Grandfather did not stop praising the cuisine of his son-in-law's granddaughter and mother

"It's delicious, it's worth Rara's good at cooking. Her umi must have taught you well, oh yeah is her sister Rara also good at cooking?" ask grandpa.

"Rara's brother is not interested in kitchen affairs, he only knows to eat," replied Umi with a small laugh. His one daughter is indeed inversely proportional to Rara, even though the way to educate her is the same.

"He must have been busy with his education. Nowadays there is no problem if you cannot cook. The women are now so great, they can make a career and help the family economy."

For grandfather it does not matter if women can not cook because they are made wives not to be a maid but her husband's companion.

"Yes Kek, but I always hope his daughters umi can also take care of the family well" said Umi.

"Let him learn slowly, don't be too pushy. If she's married, she knows what to do."

Rara's true grandfather was the same he automatically knew what he had to do when he became a wife after marriage.

Umi nodded, there is a point also said grandfather. Her first daughter is the hardest if told to do home business especially the kitchen. Umi hopes that later after marriage she can be a good wife.

Rara is currently helping Umi clean up the room that will be occupied by her parents tonight. While the men were chatting casually in the living room.

Rara helps complete what they need while telling stories with her umi. Release longing and occasionally also spoiled.

"Umi how are you guys after I'm not home?" ask Rara on umi who is wearing clothes.

"It's so quiet, son. Abi so prefer to spend time with environmental activities with other fathers, umi also more often participate in the study."

"At home so lonely, Abi also often daydream if alone."

Not only are girls in a dilemma when leaving home, parents also feel very lost but can no longer ask their daughter to stay.

So for husbands do not waste your wives, because wives have sacrificed a lot for their husbands. Leaving home and parents, not to mention later giving birth and taking care of children.

"I'm sorry, Umi."

Rara felt guilty.

"You don't have to apologize, son. Umi used to be like that when she was newly married to your Abi, even worse."

"Really, umi was too?" ask Rara who is interested in hearing her uminya story.

Rara nodded and she put her head on the lap of Umi. As he always did when he was not married. Umi rubbed her daughter's hair and started telling stories.

"Our meeting was almost the same as you, umi was introduced to abi by uncle. At that time your grandfather liked Abi very much and hoped Umi would marry him. After knowing Abi for a while finally Umi want to get married."

"And when it was funny, Umi asked Abi for something as a condition to accept it. Umi asks that after marriage stay at your grandfather's house. Do you know what your grandparents said first."

Rara shook her head, she was more and more interested in hearing it.

"They say, why get married if you still want to stick to parents. The daughter is no longer the responsibility of her parents, she must be devoted to the husband and follow the husband. Later if not followed by your husband can find another woman out there."

"Listening they were talking like that, Umi was instantly afraid of the time at that. Umi who is still innocent and does not know anything directly packed clothes to be taken to the husband's house."

Rara laughed at Umi's story.

"Then are grandparents not lonely after the Umi left while the Umi is the only child, what Umi also often visit there?" ask the curious Rara.

"Of course they are lonely, in the past there was no mobile phone like now. In the past, if you want the phone must go to the wartel first and it is quite far from home. He said they go to the wartel every day to call, but umi doesn't know."

"Then how do you let go of longing?"

Given the difficulty of communication tools at a young age.

"Because they've been calling every day and haven't been able to talk to Umi, they've come to the house. Umi was shocked because they suddenly came to continue to cry."

"They got like that, Umi?" Rara got up and sat down.

"Yes they cry he said kangen sama umi. Niesel for telling umi to leave."

Umi remembers the days when she was newly married to Abi.

"If they themselves tell Umi to go," said Rara while laughing.

"Yes, so Umi was shocked. Finally they stayed a few days at home and finally came home again because your grandfather was worried about his pet, but they asked you how many days they had to go to the wartel to call them."

"Geez, grandpa and grandma are so funny."

Rara is happy because now she has no trouble contacting her parents.

"They're like that because it's dear to umi. Not much different from Umi and Abi now, we also miss you a lot and want you to continue with us but we realize that your priority right now is husband."

"But we're happy because in your new home, there's Tio's grandfather who loves you so much and God willingly kind husband."

Umi rubbed her daughter's head affectionately.

"Thank you Umi." Rara slid into his umyad embrace.

Mother's love all the time....
