The Prince

The Prince
146. Pendants.


Kikan walked with his innocent face while washing his hair to the terrace where Umma and his brother were chatting. Kia immediately wiped her tears and turned to Kikan. Little wonder the atmosphere looks tense. 


“Eat first!” aslan to Kikan. At that time only Aslan survived yet to escape his tears. 


Kikan then noticed the faces of his family one-on-one. 


“Umma equals Kia why?” ask Kikan plain. 


“There eat first!” aslan again. 


Kikan nodded, but his eyes were still trying to look around and asked what was wrong with his Ummanya. Feeling as a child and as a child who knows manners, Kikan did not continue his question. 


“Ya already Kikan nyemil first, if you want to eat call Kikan in the room yes Kak!” answer Kikan give up. 


“Siip!” answer Aslan.


Because of the interruption of Kikan, sadness and the late feeling of Kia and Umma in the mass life also collapsed. They come back to rational thinking and realize reality now. 


“Next Umma!” aslan. 


“Abang..” says Kia gently pinches her husband


Aslan turned to Kia, 


“Perhaps Umma wants breakfast first? Breakfast is for Umma!” kia was gentle and understanding.


“You want to make a pilgrimage and go to Y kaan?” ask Umma. 


“Iya Umma!” answer Kia. Aslan nodded as well. 


“You have a holiday how many days?”ask Umma again. 


“We are both being unemployed Umma!” kia replied lowly.


Umma smiled at the word idle. 


“Means after from city Y want to come back here?” ask Umma. 


“No Umma, our son tomorrow will perform last, he needs us to support him!” kia replied recalling the day after Ipang's final appearance.


Aslan also cleared his throat, tomorrow morning Aslan has an agenda to teach lessons to Jeje. Aslan wanted to meet the little mouse who dared to touch and make his wife cry. 


“So you guys will go straight home after this?” ask Umma again. 


“Sorry Umma, actually Kia is at home and wants to linger here, but not now!”  answer Kia gently. 


“Later, if we have official recess and marriage Umma, we nginep the old here all with the Prince!” aslan again. 


“Your son's name is Prince?” ask Umma. 


“Iya Umma!” answer Kia. 


“That's enough? Or is there something you want to ask again?” uma gave Kia a chance. 


“Still Umma, many more!” kia replied excitedly but no longer crying. 


“Do not cry!” aslan said, mocking and insinuating, even though he was also crying. 


“Lanjutin Umma!” kia asked. 


“Tadi to where? What do you want to know?”


“After the departure of my father-in-law? Where does the mother-in-law live? With who? Why can Mother-in-law marry the Great Lord? How is grandpa's fate? How did Mother-in-law die?” tanya Kia was very critical and excited. 


“Honey so much he asked!” said Aslan reprimanded Kia, but Aslan also wanted to know and even first find out. 


“Umma will answer, but as far as Umma knows yes. The rest of your tasks are find out for yourself!” utama Umma later. 


“Iya Umma!” kia replied excitedly listening to the continuation of Umma's story. 


“Eat first, yuk! Kasian Kikan's! Hungry him!” aslan broke Kia's spirit. Aslan paused his intention after hearing Kia's many questions.


“Abang! It was my brother who said go on!” objection Kia. The Kia people also asked Umma and Umma to continue the story. 


“What time is it now?” ask Umma. 


“Still at 7 umma!” answer Kia. 


“Yes have breakfast first!” answer Umma. 


Umma Arini nodded. They then went inside to the kitchen.


"Fish, let's have breakfast!" utama Umma brought Kikan breakfast.


"Yes Umma!" answer Kikan, get out of the room.


Actually Kia and Umma, still want to sit down and tell stories. For Kia the hunger is gone, because Kia's curiosity is greater. I don't know why even the insistent Kia wants to know.


Aslan was neither afraid of the Great Lord nor curious about the continuation of the story. Aslan's chest is now raging. Aslan's questions are more than Kia's. Aslan's little heart says the deaths of her father and mother are unnatural. His childhood memories came. Aslan needs time to stop it all.


On the other hand Aslan also thought, however, that the Great Lord was Satya's father. Aslan loves Satya, Aslan does not want the relationship with his sister to be broken. Aslan also does not want Kia to be imagined by the fear of the future after knowing the reality about her family.


In silence Aslan weighed. What needs Aslan to continue solving the puzzle. Aslan thought any reality in the past about his father's death would not change what was now.


Aslan's father and mother will not return. The Great Lord was also old and sickly. Aslan and Satya's relationship was also good. Aslan also has a future, more independent and dashing.


Aslan's world is now old with Kia, raising Ipang lovingly and giving him a sweet little sister.


But Kia's nature is not easily broken. Kia will definitely chase after Umma like a starving tigress. He would continue to struggle and roar eerily, until he found prey and was full. Aslan was helpless against his wife.


Aslan's solution muffled her boiling brain and her rumbling heart was to pause for time. Aslan chose to refuel, because crying and emotions need energy.


Aslan walked with a blank stare until Aslan unconsciously hit a vase containing a wooden spear, as a decoration of Aslan's grandfather's relics displayed near the dining room.


"Let's!" peekkik Aslan's. The vase fell.


"Ck" Kia clucked. "If the way don't daydream Bang!" kia said seeing the wooden spears fall.


"Yes sorry!" answer Aslan


Then the two of them, tidied up the fallen and scattered vase.


"Clinting!"


Suddenly a small object slipped down from the vase. Kia took it too. Umma, Aslan and Kia came to see him.


Kia held the thing and looked at her husband.


"What is that, honey?" ask Aslan.


Kia held onto the dusty little thing.


"That's pretty, Bang. It's locket!" kia said showing a bulging round pendant. Like an expensive locket and can be opened. Kia wants to open the contents, but there is a little rust and dirt so it is difficult to open.


Umma then approached and went to check what was in Kia.


"Astaghfirulloh, what is this sign? Keep it! This is your mother she's been looking for all this time. This is your fortune, Nduk! Umma was confused Kak Andini when it was a stormy lionti nyari" said Umma staring at Aslan and Kia.


"Hoooh!" Kia was almost in disbelief.


During that time, for more than 30 years this small object was embedded in an ornamental vase. Why get out and slip now?


"Yes Umma!" kia replied nodding.


"Yes, let's have breakfast. I'll answer your questions!" Umma.


They then took their seats. Aslan as Aslan's male family sits in the middle. Umma and Kikan are on the right side, Kia is on the left side.


That morning, Kikan helped Kia prepare fresh cabbage leaf saute. Simple but delicious. Although last night's cooking, Kikan also still serves brongkos ati ampela Umma's favorite, do not forget there are crackers.


They then ate together with pleasure. After finishing eating Kia eagerly cleaned the dishes and want to immediately continue the story with Umma.


"Ki'll help you, brother!" kikan.


Aslan's phone rings. Apparently a report from Rendra, about Jeje's identity. Aslan smiled and replied to Rendra's message.


"Siip, set it up!"
