Quarter Century Duda
Outing with Grandchildren


The weekend also arrived, this time Tendean Father wanted to invite Citra to take a walk. For that, at the weekend, Tendean's father had picked up, Citra's grandson. This time, Dad Tendean aims to invite Citra for a walk. It was as if the memory of Tendean's father's past came back, when he suddenly recalled his weekend routine by taking little Anaya to the Zoo. This time, Tendean's father wanted to take Citra to the Zoo as well.


"Assalam'ualaikum," said Tendean's father as he knocked on the door of Tama and Anaya's house.


From inside the house, when he heard the sound of knocking on the door and greetings from the voice of his father-in-law. Tama rushed to get down. The man still had a baby towel on his shoulder, as he was helping Anaya bathe her twins, Charel and Charla.


"Waalaikumsalam," Tama replied by opening the door for her father-in-law. "Please come in, Dad ...."


Tendean's father entered the house and smiled at Tama. It was as if he remembered himself when Anaya was a child. There were times when Tendean's father used to also attach a towel on his shoulder.


"Just been busy, Tam?" ask Daddy Tendean.


"No, Dad .. We just took a shower with the Twins. I'll sit down, yeah ... Tama permission to go up first help Aya yes Well," he said.


Tendean's father nodded his head. "Look down, Tam .. don't be in a hurry" he replied.


In his heart, Tendean's father was relieved and happy because his son-in-law was reliable. Even to take care of the Twins, Tama wants to jump directly. Usually the husband will be reluctant to share the care. However, in contrast to Tama who is always ready to help his wife. Therefore, Tendean's father is convinced that Tama is indeed a good husband and father figure.


Until about ten minutes passed, Tama got out of the room by holding Citra. Seeing his Opanya in the living room, Citra was a little darting and hugging Opanya.


"Opa ... Opa Doctor," she said with her cute voice and bright smiling face.


"Hey, Opa's granddaughter .. Have you taken a bath yet, Citra?" asked Tendean's father to Citra who then the Opa took his grandson.


The small image nodded its head. "Here is dong, Opa. Earlier, Citra was mandiin Papa, continued Mama bathein Twins," he replied.


"Well, diligent well Opa's grandchildren. Early in the morning have all taken a bath," he replied.


"Yes dong, Opa. She said Mama, wake up and have a shower. Let it fresh and fragrant," reply Citra.


Actually this habit is a lesson that Anaya delivered while singing the song Wake Up Sleep. Start a good habit by getting up in the morning, showering with body cleaning, then helping the mother in the kitchen. Not just singing, but it was applied by Anaya at home.


"Crains. Get used to yes Darling .. let it get big later, Citra becomes a diligent person. Today, would Opa take a walk or not?" ask the Opa to his grandson.


"Where's Opa going?"


"To the Zoo, Ragunan. Opa mau ajakin Citra see animals there. Won't you?"


Not long after, Anaya came down from her room. The woman came down carefully as she climbed the stairs and saw her father who was still holding the image in the living room. Then Anaya asked her father.


"Where are you going, Dad?" tanyakanya.


"You want Collateral. Want anyway, want to ajakin Citra there. I suddenly want to reminisce about Ragunan, like your old babysitting time," replied Tendean Father.


"Kak Citra, want to be taught Opa will not?" anaya asked her daughter.


"May, but breakfast first. Come on, Citra Ajakin brother Opanya breakfast first. That's Mama's cooking Fried Rice."


Finally, Dad Tendean breakfast first at Anaya's house. At once, she could take a closer look at the household life of her son. Many of which Tendean's father was grateful to his daughter's family.


"Take care of the house and the children themselves, bother Ay?" ask Tendean's father to Anaya.


"Not Dad. It is precisely happy because it can take care of husband, children, and home. Kak Citra is also cooperative, besides Mas Tama also helps a lot," he replied.


"Yes, if you can work together, it's not a problem, Ay," replied Tendean's father.


Finishing his breakfast, then Dad Tendean invited Citra to Ragunan. Outing Day between Opa and her granddaughter. Tendean's father was really nostalgic because this image is so similar to Anaya as a child. Critical, critical, and asking questions. As if, Tendean's father returned to meet his daughter in Citra.


"In the morning the zoo is open, Opa?" ask Citra.


"Already, Opa was deliberately invited Citra at this hour. So, it will be hotter in the afternoon, and we are home" replied Tendean's father.


Then Tendean's father bought two admission tickets. Si Opa took Citra's hand and saw various animals there. It is still morning, so the Ragunan Zoo is still quiet.


"What kind of animal would you like to see?" ask Opa Tendean.


"Face ... whose trunk is long and whose ears are wide" Citra replied.


Tendean's father shook his head, because Citra was already so smart as to describe animals. Then Dad Tendean took Citra's hand to the Elephant cage in Sumatra. It was seen Imagery observing the truly huge beast.


"Great yes Opa ... after this see Nuri bird yes, Opa," he replied.


"Okay, we're looking for ya."


To find where the Bird of Nuri is located, finally Dad Tendean and CITra look at the Ragunan wildlife park map and look in the poultry section. After, they walked there.


"Opa, that's a pretty bird."


The image screams and runs first when it sees a bird flapping its wings so beautifully. The feathers were green as if there were eyes there, making Citra so interested.


"Partra, wait for Opa. Don't run, son ...."


Until finally, Citra who was too excited to see the beautiful bird almost fell. His feet almost hit the roots of a large tree. For there are two hands holding the body of Citra.


"Be careful, son."


The voice of the middle-aged woman was gentle and restrained the body of Citra. Thanks to the help of the woman, Citra's feet did not stumble the tree roots. Who is that woman?
