Tama And Ratna
109. Exhaustion

2 weeks after their return from Jakarta, an invitation landed in the hands of Tama. Bayu Zidan his aide walked up to him, sitting in front of him while handing him something. The request for permission to marry as well as ask Tama to attend the application event.

Bayu is really fast-moving in his relationship. Though how many weeks they know and now have been playing proposing. Bayu said both his parents agreed with Uli, and both of Uli's parents also liked Bayu. Although it is a bit heavy to see Bayu's work that challenges the danger and not infrequently bet his life but both of Uli's parents said if his son was willing to do what they forbid.

Tama takes the invitation home and finds Uli playing with Aksa. Ratna doesn't seem to be home yet, she said after lunch she had surgery. Maybe he'll be home by Maghrib.

"Li, how did Bayu meet me said you want to apply?" ask Tama.

"Yes sir, thank God I want to be in lamar," said Uli with a shy look.

"Are you sure it fits Bayu?"

"God, sir, the man is cool. Besides being a humorist, he is also responsible. I like the way he watches me. Not excessive but also not stretching the relationship" Uli said with confidence.

...***...

Tama and Ratna will today attend the wedding invitation of Bayu and Uli. They don't have a big event. Only a marriage contract and small reception attended by most of Bayu's friends and Uli also Bayu's coworkers in brimob. Tama is given the opportunity to drap a bouquet of flowers on her bridegroom while Ratna hands a red bouquet of roses to Uli.

Both congratulate Bayu and Uli who are now officially husband and wife. Since acquaintance, application, until marriage only takes 3 months. During that time Tama and Ratna are also always present in dismissing any doubts that are present in Bayu and Uli who will step up to a more serious level. Now every morning and evening there will be a man who will take Uli to the house of his commander.

"Ratna was a great success yes nyomblangin Uli," said Lilis who was also present as a guest recipient.

"Do you ever try to match him?"

"Udah. Same one member in Bang Chandra battalion, only his son did not want to be taken seriously while Uli did not want to mess around. His name is Rat soul mate, want here you turn rich if not for you who you will not get," said Lilis embraced by Ratna.

"Ndah..," call Aksara who continues to hold on to her Mother.

"Why baby?"

Aksa just stretched out her hand the sign she asked to carry. After he went up to his mother's sling, he tried to undress Mother because she was hungry, "Ndah mamamam," he said again.

"Not here ah shame Aksa many people, nih mik dot aja yes," said Ratna.

He handed Aksa a bottle of milk immediately before the boy whined in protest. Aksa immediately grasped the milk bottle and then Ratna corrected her position so that she could be more comfortable to drink. Not long after that Aksa fell asleep still in Ratna's lap. Even though the position of the guest is booming. The sensitive Tama asks Aksa from her mother and she continues to carry her son who is sound asleep while continuing to receive guests.

After the reception, Ratna wakes Aksa up. He sat his son in one of the chairs along with Bang Miftah and Bang Faisal who had already held their respective plates. If Aksa he is still waiting for Mother Ratna to feed him. He may have been able to eat on his own, but it will obviously be very messy and long because he has not been good at grasping a spoon.

"Tante Uli~" call the kids on Uli who just finished changing clothes.

"Hello Abang," said Uli while taking the two tos.

"Tante Uli is beautiful" said Miftah.

"Thank you, Bang Miftah is also handsome" Uli said.

"Eh Uli, what a beauty you are today" praised Ratna who just came with a plate of rice.

"Thank you Ma'am, is that for Nyuapin Aksa? Can I bribe you, ma'am?" ask Uli.

"Love Na, let her catch a baby, too" Lilis said.

"Don't ah ma'am, the marriage expired immediately had a baby. Still want to date. I'm the same Mas Bayu has never been involved in dating," said Uli.

"Date only once in Jakarta" said Ratna.

...***...

The whole wedding procession is over. Tama and Ratna joined in saying goodbye when Bang Chandra's family also resigned. The two families split up at the club. Tama turned right, Bang Chandra kept straight. Beside her Ratna was seen asleep, she seemed exhausted not only from having to receive the guests present but also guarding Aksa who had been fussy this afternoon. Aksa on his lap continued to say obscure words while observing the lights of the road that started to light up.

"Well," said Aksa, immediately shitting his face when a clown stood right next to the glass.

"Why is Aksa afraid?"

"Tum."

"No papa Sa, it's in it people too. Kaya who Aksa saw in the zoo continues on his birthday brother Indi kan there is also a rabbit-shaped clown," replied Tama trying to convince Aksa so that he does not fear and instead wake Mother.

"Yahh," Aksa began to cry making Ratna wake up. He realized what made Aksa afraid and then immediately grabbed her.

"Are you really scared?" ask Tama.

"Yes if the form of rich horror is not let go of Aksa, I'm just afraid Dad is there," said Ratna.

"Udah ah nangisnya, Ijo nih Daddy street yes," said Tama trying to calm Aksa.

Arriving at home, Ratna was unable to hold Aksa. She asks Tama to take her in while Ratna steps straight into the room and takes off her hijab and clothes. Ratna was wearing clothes that clearly made her stuffy. Unlike Tama whose skin is still able to breathe a sigh of relief because it only wears a shirt and suit. As soon as Ratna changed clothes and came out of the bathroom, she immediately gulped down as much water as she could.

"Mother..," call Tama who is taking off her suit and tie.

"Hmm?"

"Mother is papa? If you are tired of going to bed. Aksa let me be with Dad," replied Tama.

"Capek is not so but the head is dizzy. I did not drink a bottle of responsibility last day. Drink sweetly anyway," lamented Ratna.

"Mother so, ngingetin Dad drink, take care of Aksa, but take care of yourself is ruled out. There rest. Want to take medication? You haven't eaten Bun yet" Tama said.

"No, I want to go straight to sleep. I'm sorry Dad, I'm not really strong. My head is heavy."

"He didn't sleep there" said Tama.

"Dad tonight sleep with Aksa yes, do not be the same Mother. Dad will also be exhausted later if I turned out to be really sick Daddy caught," Ratna said again.

"Dear, I can take care of myself. You just rest a quiet mind do not be made tense later added dizziness," said Tama calm his wife. While he left Aksa playing in front of the tv while he drove Ratna first into the room. He made sure his wife was sleeping comfortably, not forgetting to kiss her on the forehead and then step outside. Tama left only the light from a small sleeping lamp attached to her desk while the main light she turned off so that Ratna could sleep soundly.

"Ndah," look for Aksa who is already standing near the door of her parents' second room.

"Shtt, Mommy is not feeling well anymore. Aksa same father first yes," asked Tama.

"Nda? The atit?"

"Yes, Mother is sick."

"Ndah," Aksa did not think he even whined to be near Mother. Who is the child who is not afraid if his parents are sick. Aksa is too. Tama still survives by wearing a blue shirt that he has been wearing all day but because Aksa is still fussy he must defeat his desire to be able to shower immediately. She was only able to clean her body after Aksa fell asleep. Tama slowly put Aksa in her usual sleeping place, covered her then turned off the lights.

That night Tama did not sleep with Aksa, nor did she sleep with Ratna. He even slept on the sofa with the laptop still on and many files lying on the table. Not far from him there is also one glass of used coffee and a bowl of instant noodles that are not washed. Even Tama is still loyal to the shirt and cloth pants. For some reason, but maybe the age network that is no longer young makes Tama and Ratna so easily exhausted especially if after undergoing the fatigue that is outside their daily routine.
