Tonight Akmal invited Amar and his extended family to dinner at his residence. Now they have all occupied their respective chairs while surrounding a large dining table oval-shaped. They enjoyed the evening happily. Mr. Akmal's son and his small family were also present to make the night more warm. Especially by hearing the babbling of the little ones. Really fun.
After finishing his dinner, Mr. Akmal invited his family and also the Amar family including Naima mother of course to the family room. They also sit down to relax with children playing on the other side with a variety of toys that make them look excited so they do not care what their parents talk about.
"Ekhem, Ardan, as you said earlier that Aunt Naima is a friend during papa school. But ... Actually it's not just that."
Mr. Akmal took a deep breath. Everyone seemed to notice a nervous mimic on Mr. Akmal's face. Mr. Akmal glanced at Naima's mother. Mother Naima smiled gently as if giving her strength right then and there.
"To be honest, Naima is papa's first love. But because papa continued his education abroad, we also broke off communication. Papa thought, after returning home, papa could propose to Naima, but it turns out papa lost the start. Naima was married to Armand, who was also our schoolmate. At the same time, opa also betrothed papa to your mama. So my dad married my mom. Don't misunderstand me first ... " Mr. Akmal was afraid that Ardan would think negatively about him first. Thinking that his mama was just his outburst.
"Papa did not love mama at first, nor did she. But over time, my mom and dad loved each other. But that's not the point at the moment. Really, papa did not expect to be reunited with Naima. Honestly, after our first meeting after a dozen years had passed, the sense of it suddenly coming back. After many years of solitude, finally papa again felt the desire to build a household. So, Ardan, you're papa's only son, on this occasion papa wants permission for you to re-marry with Naima, would you allow it, son?" ask Mr. Akmal to the son.
The feelings of Mr. Akmal. Especially when looking at the flat face of the son. Not to mention he still had to ask for the blessing of Naima's son and daughter. He's really worried. They can get married without asking for their blessing. Their status is children. They are also adults and each has a family. But both Mr. Akmal and Naima want to respect the opinions of their children. They don't want to do anything they want that ends up hurting their children. Even though they are adults, children are still children. They will be disappointed if their existence seems not considered.
Ardan looked at the father's face carefully. There was a twinkle of hope in his net that was as black as soot. While Mother Naima just smiled gently.
Yes, Mr. Akmal has indeed expressed his desire to invite Mother Naima to marry. They have been alone for a long time. There is no harm if they knit the household back. It is not just the necessity of orgasm, but the desire to fill the old days together in love and love. Knitting asa ever extinct. Dream of being happy together as a couple.
Actually seeing how Mr. Akmal who was so attentive to him all this time clearly presents a long quenched vibration. After so many years he buried his despair and wishful thinking to re-knit love with a man, but this time Mr. Akmal managed to re-ignite the desire so without much ado, mother Naima immediately accepted. There is no harm in getting married again. Moreover, that figure had also been alone for a long time. They are also both old, so there is no need to stall around the near future dating like ABG.
And most importantly, that figure was the man of his past. The man who was once the love in his heart. During her time with Akmal, Naima's mother knew that he was a good man. It never fucked. So don't you blame her for dropping her heart on that guy this time?
Seeing the shady face of Mother Naima, immediately a smile on Ardan's lips. Then he looked at Amar and Amara, "how did Mar, Amara, did you allow my papa to marry your mother?"
"If you?" ask Amar back.
"If I, honestly, I don't .. "everyone's face stiffens instantly. Moreover, the face of Mr. Akmal who had emitted a twinkle of hope immediately dimmed, "will not refuse. It's time for Papa to achieve Papa's happiness. Papa has fought enough for my happiness. Now it's Papa's turn to embrace his happiness," added Ardan made Mr. Akmal's eyes glazed.
"Just like me, I don't refuse. Mother also deserves to be happy. It is enough that it is dissolved in solitude and loneliness. It is time to rise from the wounds of the past. I as a child could only pray, Mother soon found her happiness."
"So does Amara, Bun. Mommy must understand why until now Amara prefers to stay with the mother even though mas Ardi has bought a house for our small family to live in because Amara does not have the heart to see the mother living in loneliness and solitude. Amara just hope, Om Akmal can make your mother happy. It's been enough grief that you've been alone all this time. As Mas Amar said, we as children can only pray that mothers get their own happiness. It's time to get up and pick up your happy mother. Whatever's best for you, we'll support it."
Mother Naima looked teary. He is very grateful to have good, loving, and airy children. They are never selfish. Always thinking about his happiness.
Amara, who saw the mother's teary eyes, immediately hugged her.
"What?" ask Amara.
"And earlier Mr Akmal asked for permission to marry our mother, did the mother agree?" amar's seduction made everyone turn their gaze to the mother who suddenly misbehaved.
"Amar is right, ekhem ... Aunt, as papa's party, can Ardan ask?"
Mother Naima also nodded with a blushed face.
"Have-please!" said Naima mother who was suddenly nervous.
"Is my aunt willing to marry me?" continued Ardan made Mother Naima glance at Mr. Akmal who had a big smile.
"Emm, Aunt .. ready," said Naima's mother.
Hearing that answer, Ardan immediately stood up and shook hands with Amar. Not only that, they embraced each other. That night Mr. Akmal's residence sounded so boisterous. After a long time of silence, finally happiness in the house will return soon.
Mother Naima and Mr. Akmal never thought, they will find love in old age. They think they will spend their old age living alone, lonely, without a companion.
But reality is not. Destiny says something else. Unexpectedly even without their expectations and hope at all, they actually found their true partner at a young age. After a long time buried both the taste and the desire. Focus only on the family, especially the children. Now it's their turn to pick up happy. Think of it as a reward for their patience to live the steepness of life so far.
