The Mother Connect
Chapter 23

It turns out that the place Taki and Maki want to visit is the tomb of his mother, Kiara. And it just so happened that the late Kinara's parents were also buried in the public burial area. They all immediately got down from the car when they reached the tomb parking area.

"So, Mama's mom and dad's grave is here too?" ask Taki.

Kinara nodded in response. Every time he visited the tomb, Kinara would recall the bad things he had said to his parents in his lifetime and that was his biggest distraction.

"Later after the pilgrimage to the tomb of our mother to the tomb of grandmother and grandfather yes, Ma," asked Maki. Of course Maki's words made Kinara look at the child.

"Grandma said, Mom's parents mean our grandmothers and grandfathers, too. So, can we call mom's parents grandparents?" ask Maki for permission.

Kinara gave a hug to the two sons. She is happy to be the mother of two sweet children like them.

"Of course I can. We will visit the graves of our grandmothers and grandfathers after the pilgrimage to your mama's tomb" Kinara replied.

Finally the four men arrived at Kiara's tomb. The four of them immediately read the surah yasin and tahlil to be given to Kiara because for deceased humans the prayer message can be a light in the grave.

"Ma, Mama's calm down there. We are now happy because we can finally have a mom like our other friends. So, you don't have to be sad anymore." Taki spoke to the mound in front of him as if talking to his real mama.

"Yes, Ma. Now we are happy to have Mama Kinara. Mama Kinara is very kind and loves us very much, so we love her too, Ma. But, Mama is calm even though we already have a good-natured new mama, we will always remember mama in our hearts and we will continue to send prayers to Mama at all times. Because Mr. Ustadz said, filial piety to his parents not until mama and papa died, but until we ourselves who died. Love you mama" Maki said at length.

"Mbak Kia, I have never known Mbak Kia before. But, seeing Mas Tama who does not want to replace the position of Mbak with any woman, I believe Mbak Kia is a very good woman. Ma'am please give my blessing so that I can take the heart of Mas Tama. Not to replace the. I just want to have my own position in Mas Tama's heart. Please give me your blessing, Ma'am." Kinara begged Tama's late wife's blessing inwardly.

"Kia, I have granted your wish to make Taki and Maki happy. May you be happy there too." Tama also spoke in the heart.

"Ma, let's go to the graves of grandparents!" bring Taki.

"Can I?" this question, Kinara addressed it to Tama.

"No problem. We are already here, so all of you," replied Tama still with ketus mode.

"Fall to answer, why should use this word anyway? It's like it's not sincere," muttered Kinara.

Tama rolled her eyes, she was not going to argue or debate Kinara's words.

"Let's go to your parents' graves now! Later if it is too late we will be in the afternoon to arrive at the amusement rides!" bring Tama.

"Yes," Kinara replied with a frown.

After saying goodbye to Kiara's grave, the four men immediately headed to the graves of Kinara's parents. In the tomb they read surah yasin and tahlil. After that it was like a formal introduction in general Taki and Maki introduced himself in front of the tomb.

"Grandmother, Grandpa, my name is Taki and this is my twin brother Maki. Thank you, Grandma, Cake, for giving birth to Mama Kinara. We are so happy because we finally have a good mom and love us. We promise, we will always love Mama Kinara and will try to make Mama Kinara happy" said Taki.

"Yes, Grandma, Cake. We promise. Once again thank you, Grandma, Cake, for giving birth to Mama Kinara," Maki said.

Kinara rubbed the hair of the two sons.

"Thank you for loving your mom like your mom. Thank you," said Kinara.

"Mama didn't talk to Grandma and Grandpa?" maki asked when she saw Kinara just shut up.

"Mama has spoken in my heart" replied Kinara.

"What do you say to Grandpa and Grandma? Beware, Mama can not complain to grandfather and grandmother if we are wayward later grandfather and grandmother angry with us." Maki's words this time made Kinara laugh a little.

Tama silently observed Kinara's facial expression. The woman was smiling, but the look in her eyes showed deep sadness and regret.

"It seems you also have a great feeling of regret for both your parents just as I regret for being late knowing Kiara's situation," Tama said. If she could turn back the clock, Tama would do anything to keep Kiara alive.

"Pa," call Taki.

"Hm." Tama.

"Why not introduce yourself to grandma and grandpa?" ask Maki.

"Later if Grandma and Grandpa do not know papa, they will be confused to see papa here," added Maki. He considered that the dead could also be confused when an unknown person came to visit the tomb.

"Come, Pa. Don't let Grandma and Grandpa get angry and keep bringing mama with them." Taki.

"Come, Pa, introduce yourself!" taki and Maki.

"Ehem... Ehem." Tama. He felt strange because he had to get acquainted with a tomb.

"Come, Pa!" push Taki and Maki again.

Tama looked at Kinara for a moment.

"E... Om, Aunt, I.... "

"Not Om and Aunt, Pa. But father and mother, shouldn't parents of wives be considered parents themselves?" taki Protest.

"Ah.. yes, papa forgot," replied Tama while grinning.

"Yes already, Pa. Let's meet!" tell Maki.

"E... Dad, Mum.... " Tama was silent again. It felt really strange to introduce yourself to the tomb.

"If Mr. Tama can't, that's okay" whispered Kinara.

"Ck."

"Pa, game. After this we will take a walk. If you later we can in the place of the amusement rides kesorean continued so briefly deh manya." Maki again sighed by presenting several reasons for her father to quickly introduce himself.

"Isa. This papa, just like a kid. Being told to know yourself is hard," grumbled Taki Sokok giving advice.

Kinara again held back laughter seeing Tama being advised by her son.

"It has. You don't have to force me to know myself. Without knowing themselves they must have known and can understand." Kinara.

"Yes, then. Let's go to the playground now!" maki Sahut.

Kinara, Taki and Maki were already preparing to move on from there. However, their steps came to a halt when they heard Tama introduce herself.

"Dad, Mother, meet me Tama Wijaya, your daughter-in-law. I promise I'll try to make Kinara out of nothing." After that Tama looked down respectfully. He then walked ahead of Kinara and his two children to leave the temple.

Sure enough they arrived at the rides to play a little misfortune. Where to queue more than 1 hour to buy admission ticket. Fortunately, his two children are in obedience mode, so Tama does not have to nag with the officers who guard at the sales counter.

There aren't many games they play, just car bombs, color slides, and swings. Actually there is one vehicle that the two twin boys want is to swim in the pool. Darling Tama did not give permission for fear that his two sons contracted skin diseases from visitors. And in exchange Tama finally promises to take them to go watch before returning home.

And among the joy felt by Tama and her children there was one person who had just been quiet frowning. He was sprained because he could not play with them, who else if not Kinara. Yes, Kinara. The woman was forced to just be the guardian of their luggage all because of the clothes she was wearing. Kinara wore a long, knee-length sponge skirt and it made it difficult for her to come into play.

"Is there a game you want to play again?" ask Tama.

"No more, Pa," replied Taki and Maki.

"Yes already then we get out of here and keep watching. Come on!" Tama took her two sons to leave the place.

"Nara, why are you still quiet?" tama asked the mother to follow up from her children.

"I haven't played yet, why are you getting out of here?" answer Kinara.

"You'll wear a skirt, so where can you play. Some of you are strange, have your own idea to play here, even wear such a skirt, where do not bring change of clothes again. That means it's your fault" said Tama.

"There are still other games to play even if I wear a skirt" Kinara replied.

"What game?" ask Tama."

Kinara showed her mysterious smile.
