Tama And Ratna
The Short Story 4. Mudik Plan

Open the fast today Ratna cooks quite a splash. In addition to fried eggplant flour doused with teriyaki Ratna sauce also makes dumplings with chili oil. To eat her children she made carbonara paste with chopped chicken mixture.

"Waw, Mommy cooks well," said Tama.

"Again eat well" Ratna said.

"The taste of your cooking is good, Bun" praised Tama.

"Dad lied. Yesterday Mother cooked salty," confided Aksa.

"Haha, sorry Sa Bunda is fasting so Mother can not be tasting," said Ratna.

"Mother wants to mate again po? How to cook the salty," whispered Tama.

"Guus!"

"I mean the same night as our father both..," explained Tama while making a code with his hands. She fused her two index fingers together to make Ratna understand what her husband meant.

Ratna sighed. This one request of her husband was the only one that Ratna could not refuse. Want a sip of whatever would be as badmood if Tama had said "willing" yes inevitably, because if denied pity he was in the fog all day, "yes later," replied Ratna resignedly.

While waiting for the time to break the fast, Ratna first feed her three children to eat. Since Ratna was introducing a new type of food to the twins so she was a bit extra watching over him. The twins were terrified of swallowing the long spaghetti.

"So, natalin used to be satisfied with you," said Tama while thrusting a glass of water at Ratna who remained focused on the twins even though she had heard adzan maghrib.

"Daddy baths used to continue to pray all in exchange for Mother keep the children," said Ratna.

"Yes" answered Tama.

30 Minutes later Tama stepped out of her room. Still with a neat glove she replaced Ratna to sit in front of the twins teaching them how to eat noodles. Occasionally Tama invites the two to chat even though the response is just that.

"Father, abis," Aksa said as he showed his empty fish-shaped plate.

"Pinter son dad. Drawn the sink of the dish yes," said Tama while holding her thumb.

"You again" said Aksa.

Tama took it again for Aksa but only a little, "again" he said of the protest.

"Fat's gonna be Sa" said Dad.

"No. Aksa likes Well, wants it again. A little more," he said.

Tama. He picked up a little more on demand and asked Aksa to eat neatly. Aksa has started to grow so he has begun to be taught how to eat neat so as not to scattered everywhere. He is also occasionally introduced to homework such as washing his dishes after meals, putting things in place or putting his dirty clothes in a basket Ratna had placed near the washing machine.

Now it's Tama and Ratna's turn to eat. Ratna eats while video calling with Sasa and Adrian. They also connect the call to the Father and Nata the newlyweds.

"Sir, Le, is Lebaran on the way home?" ask Father.

"God willing, sir, but his Ied prayer at the house of Mr. Ibukku is like," Gandhi said.

"Nata went home sir, but the third day back Jogja," replied Nata.

"If Ms Ratna?"

"Can't promise yet. My night duty takbirnya. Later Ratna let me know if there is a holiday Ratna try to go home even if only for a while," said Ratna.

The big family of Mr. Yatna will gather this year, explained Tama so think of many things. The two daughters of Mr. Yatna are tied to the man's servant, while the youngest also follows as a TNI officer. Being able to gather like this was a very, very rare moment. Tama already has no family except Rizka Tea and her husband. They moved and no longer live in Jaksel. Tama knows how much Ratna wants to get together with her family again. That's why Tama immediately glanced at his work agenda on mobile phones and tinkered at his timing so they could go home.

"What else is it?" ask Ratna.

"Let's find time. Mas again trying how we can go home on the first day even though Ied does not pray at home but at least you can meet Sasa Sama Nata," said Tama without looking at Ratna.

"But Mas said Mas is not on holiday" Ratna said.

"Mas is not a holiday on the night of his takbir. I don't know if I can take time off or not. It has been 2 years since I took my leave of employment at all. Your time is only right when Mas is not a task so do not apply for leave," said Tama.

"If so try to ask Ndan Novan may or may not be so," said Ratna.

"If it is not wrong, Ndan Novan does want a love of relief for those who celebrate Eid al-Fitr, just still have to be ready if at any time needed," he said.

"Lha continues if someone comes out of the island how Mas?"

"The sons of the stars are equally enlisted in most of the domiciles here, most of these officers far away. Ndan Hendra between Batam or to Banyumas, Ndan Novan should go to Kalimantan, but he said this year did not go home because his parents wanted to come here, Bang Nanda so want to go to Bali, Bali, Bang Chandra either to Bandung either to Lake is still upset he said, I most deket this only to Purworejo, Bang Rendi same Cece stay because natalan yesterday had applied for leave. It can also be after the completion of the Ied Deck prayer, because we still have to stay awake," said Tama.

"Ohh, Lilis also told him he was very excited he said he wanted to pray Ied in Bandung. He had been a fanatical show to be invited to walk around Bandung, even though he was also a Jabar," Ratna said.

"Dek, try to talk to Dipta if you take a vacation on the first day of the second third may not be so, or on the second day of the third," said Tama.

"Try tomorrow Mas, a bit complicated also because my department. Senior specialists on all leave, it's a pity that the new child is all guard," Ratna said.

"Cepet tell ya Dek, so Mas can take leave as well," said Tama is embraced by Ratna.

"Now mending Mas matiin his cellphone continues to focus on me," Ratna said in a spoiled tone.

"You why? How to grow spoiled gini?"

"Ih, it was Mas yang.., you know ah already males," said Ratna immediately pulled the blanket.

"It's your mutant Deck now," said Tama.

"Yes bodo. Mas now nyebelin because, mulu work. If at home the children mulu, I'll say when?" ratna protests.

"Duh duh if the wife is jealous to the child gini Mas who bothered Deck. Yowis what do you want?" tanya Tama who began not to stand because of anxiety.

"Whatever," said Ratna.

"Well, now don't come back, if you are at home and the child continues. Same time when? There's something you miss about Dek," said Tama, beginning to tease Ratna.

"No, I'd like to make my husband kapok that's not to bummer" replied Ratna, raising her hand to her head.

"Dare you make Mas Kapok, not for you can not walk the morning," said Tama more provocative.

"Yes no papa, I work also just sit down. The operation also stood no walk," Ratna said.

"Really?"

"No. Ngawur. The problem is not in the way Mas cannot, but in his kissmark. My friends are (examined) about that. Can be bullied a whole week later" Ratna said.

"Not to care what people say. The important thing is that we are Na's," said Tama began to hug Ratna and kiss her cheek and nape.

"But inget you know, share the same child. Your wife is not just yours" Ratna said.

"I promise queen" Tama said before she started.
