Rai drives his car to a housing estate that is very familiar to Esta. He knows where Rai will take him.
“Where are we going?” Esta asked him to find out. In his heart he felt nervous.
“Don't tell me you forgot this road?”
No. gabe. Esta did not forget. Although he only passed through it a few times, but Esta still has not forgotten this path.
The road to housing has changed a lot over the last ten years. It looked different, but Esta could still remember some of its parts.
And sure enough Esta's guess when the car began to enter the yard of a large house that is very well known by Esta.
Yeah, it's Rai's grandmother's house.
Esta's chest was rumbling violently. All those memories returned to disturb his memory. A longing for the figure of Salamah filled his chest cavity. The one who treated him so well when he was just an outsider. And now that figure is gone.
“Come, down. Aunty Citra has been waiting for us.” Take Rai after the car is perfectly parked.
Apparently, Rai had prepared this surprise for Esta. He told Citra and Pras about his relationship with Esta who had improved. And Rai also told them that Esta was in Jakarta. Imra tells Rai to bring Esta home. And here they are.
Esta got out of the car slowly. Look at the house that has not changed at all. There are still many favorite plants of the late Salamah that are well preserved around the yard.
“Den Rai have come home?” Call Danang who is already middle-aged.
Esta smiled and nodded to Danang. Even Danang's face was already filled with faint wrinkles. It seems like so much time has passed. And he still lives on in his memories.
“Tante inside right, Mas?” Ask Rai.
Danang nodded. He looked at Esta as if hesitant to recognize her. Esta's face looked familiar, but she hesitated.
“Iya, Mas. It's Esta. The one that was..” Rai answered Danang's question.
“Yes geez. Bener. Ma'am Esta, how are you? Very long ago yes..”
“Good, Mas. Mas Danang how are you?”
“Good, good. Oh gosh. Didn't expect to see you again.”
“Ya, Mas. We want to enter first.” Rai said after their conversation.
Rai clasped Esta's hand and invited her into the house. Honestly, Esta's heart is in longing right now.
“Assalamu’alaikum, Aunt!” Shouted Rai as he entered the house.
“Wa’alaikum greetings!” Answer the voice of the image that immediately emerged from the kitchen. “Yeah, Esta!!”
The image immediately approached Esta, looked at her face fixedly and then hugged her. Esta also poured out that longing and re-hugged Citra.
“Tante how are you?” Ask Esta whose tears have been pooled in the fertilizer.
The image, the woman's clumsiness did not change. Even her beauty still radiated like ten years ago. Signs of someone who is good at taking care of themselves.
“Good, good. How are you doing? More beautiful aja.” Seloroh Citra while wiping the tears that had melted.
“Good, Aunt.”
“Hhh. Unfortunately grandma can't see you coming now.” Citra. His tone of voice implies sadness.
Esta simply smiled pias in response. His heart also broke.
“Om where, Tan?”
“Masturbation. Wait a while. Let's wait at the dinner table.” Take the image later.
At the dinner table, there was a girl who was busy with her cell phone. It was Citra's daughter who had grown up.
“Afni, this is Aunt Esta. You want no? Who used to live here.” Image surprised his daughter.
Afteri turned to Esta and looked at her. Her memory was too faint to remember who Esta was. He was a child and did not have much memory of Esta.
“Yeah, this is Afni? It's big on you. What class is it now?” Esta asked kindly who then took a seat beside Afni.
“Class of two smp, Aunt.” Reply Afni who felt very awkward towards Esta.
“Wah. Cool. Sorry yes, Aunt Esta did not bring anything because om Rai did not say if you want to come here.” Rega regretted feeling bad.
“Nothing really, Ta. Dateng only we already seneng.” The image that chimed. While Afni did not seem to care and was again busy with her phone.
“Oh, have you come?” The new Sapa Pras came down and joined the dining room.
“Om..” Sapa Esta smiled and nodded to Pras who immediately took a seat in his place.
“How are you, Ta?”
“Good, Om. Om how are you?”
“Good too. The more mature the more beautiful you are, Ta.” Praise Pras too.
Esta blushed because everyone praised her as beautiful. Either it's just a stale base, or an honesty. But Esta doesn't care. He felt happy to join the warmth of the Pras family.
“We eat first yes. Continue chatting later again.” Citra Say. “Sar! Hidangin food.” Pinta Citra to her very young household.
Citra did not stay still, she also helped to serve food on the table, and Esta helped as well.
The dinner was held with warmth between them. In the interlude of their light chatter and happy laughter. The longing seemed to be freed from Esta's heart. Filling the emptiness of his heart all this time about the warmth of the family. The attitude of Citra and Pras has not changed on him. Stay as friendly and warm as ever.
“Now in good care Estanya, Rai. Don't let go of it again.” Seloroh Citra after eating.
“Hehehehehe. I'm sure, Tan. This time I won't leave again. I'm in the glue let it stick. Let's not lose.” Rai chimed in.
Selorohan Rai was immediately greeted by the laughter of everyone.
“So Rai, have you found your papa?” Ask Pras.
Rai shakes. “Numbered, Om. I only met his lawyer yesterday.”
“So you haven't seen Mas Fandi?” Timpal Citra's.
“Males really want to see it, Tan.”
“You want to be together? Let me temenin.” Esta's offer made Rai aghast and immediately looked at her.
Rai's gaze showed a pile of questions and a feeling of worry from Rai. He was well aware of what his father's attitude to Esta had been. And he thought that Esta must have hated her father so much. But why did Esta offer to accompany him to visit his father in prison? Though much pain caused by his father for Esta.
But Esta just smiled. There was no look of resentment or anger on his face. Making Rai frown not understand.
“You really want to nemenin Rai, Ta? You want to meet Mas Fandi, you know.” Tanya Citra did not believe.
Esta nodded. And that nod made the atmosphere turn silent and calm. Not expecting with the attitude of Esta who turned out to not hate Fandi at all after what Fandi did to him.
