After traveling for almost 8 hours because they both always stopped to rest, finally Edward and Elli arrived in a village. The village is still beautiful because there are not too many vehicles and factories built here so the air is still pure.
The number of trees around also adds to the coolness of the village. Although the day still shows at 4 am before dawn, but there are already some residents around who have done their activities.
"Honey, at this hour already many who want to go to the market and rice fields yes" said Elli amazed.
The number of rice fields there makes Elli know that they will go there. Especially with the tools to grow rice that they shouldered. Elli was so enthusiastic about looking around as well as Edward who smiled even though he was nervous and scared in his heart. He was afraid that his presence would not be desired by his father later.
According to instructions given by Papa William and Mama Amber, Edward finally found a simple house whose walls are made of wood like the one in the photo on his cellphone. This is the home of Edward's biological father who looks simple but soothing even from the outside has seen a lot of shady trees.
The two got out of the car and walked towards the house. Doubtfully Edward knocked on the wooden door slowly. While Elli continues to hold the palm of her husband's hand that feels cold.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here" Elli said with a gentle smile to calm her husband down.
Edward just nodded his head then knocked the wooden door back. Before long they waited at the door, there were footsteps and cries from inside the house.
"Yes for a moment" said a woman from inside the house.
Chequek...
Before long, the wooden door opened and an old woman with a slightly bent body smiled at the guests.
The old woman frowned in surprise when she did not know who the guests were. Even his face was very unfamiliar in his eyes as he had never seen it in this village at all. He also looked at the appearance of his two guests who looked neat like people who wanted to meet, how not? Edward and Elli have not changed their clothes at all from the press conference.
"Who are you looking for, son?" ask the old lady kindly.
"Is this really Mr. Lutfi Andriansyah's house?" ask Elli with a smile.
"Right, that's my boy. What's up, huh? Does my son have the same debt as you?" I asked Lutfi in a panic.
Edward smiled his warm smile when he saw the person in front of him was his grandmother. Even he wanted to hold back the laughter of seeing his grandmother's panic, but he was also upset because he was thought to be willing to collect a debt.
"Eh... No, Mr. Lutfi has no debt with us. We're just here for a touch, can I see him?" asked Elli with a shake of head.
"Yes, could. You go in first, I'll call my son. It just so happened that he was preparing tools to go to the rice field in the back" said Ms. Lutfi.
The two of them followed Lutfi's mother. They sat on a wooden chair that was a bit rickety so that made Edward initially hesitant to sit on it.
"Here's the chair if I sit down, don't ya, baby?" whispered Edward.
"Aman" said Elli who sat first followed by Edward.
Edward who saw the arrival of his biological father also teary eyes. Even he saw his father's very modest appearance with his t-shirt and shorts making him feel a little guilty.
He lives in a luxurious house, dresses well, and eats fine food while his biological father lives a simple life with his living mother. In his heart, Edward promises to bring his father and grandmother to happiness along with him.
"Dad.." cried Edward could not stem his longing.
Lutfi's father who did not know Edward could only be silent with confusion when the man called him father. Even Edward was now standing and then approaching his father. He did not hesitate to hug his father tightly.
"I'm Mama Amber's son. Father's son" whispered Edward right in his father's ear.
Lutfi's father froze at Edward's words. He did not expect to be able to meet the fetus conceived by his lover first. Her eyes were now glazed over and immediately hugged her son tightly.
"I'm sorry... Forgive me for not being able to feel the warmth of this hug from your biological father. I'm sorry I didn't try to keep your mother from leaving" Lutfi's father said sobbing.
While Ms. Lutfi who heard the whispers of the two men who were hugging was also her eyes were also in tears. He already knows about the problems of his son in the past so it is not surprising that he already has a grandson.
What he did not expect was the presence of his granddaughter who was now in front of him. He still thinks it's a dream. Elli, who saw Lutfi's mother crying, came closer to her and hugged her tightly.
The four people hugged each other and cried. The moment of the child's meeting with his biological father is so moving.
"It turns out you've grown up, I still feel like a dream because it was met by my biological son" said Lutfi's father who then released his embrace from Edward.
The four of them immediately sat down on the chair and then chatted to each other casually. Even they were all unaware that the sun had already appeared. They also know each other. Even Ibu Lutfi had not had time to cook because of the fun of chatting.
"God... It's like this and we haven't had breakfast" panicked Ms. Lutfi at the sight of the wall clock showing at 7am.
"Yes, I should have gone to the rice field too. This is even fun talking" panicked Lutfi's father.
Elli and Edward who saw the panic of a pair of children with his mother could only shake their heads.
"How about we buy breakfast outside, Grandma? Father also today mending holiday first to his rice field" said Edward calming.
"If you don't go to the rice field, we can't eat" said Lutfi's father still panicked.
"That's Edward's business" Edward said.
The four of them finally came out of the house and foraging around the village. While looking at the streets that looked cool because of the many trees, they enjoyed the atmosphere of togetherness.
