The Story of the Children of the Juragan
112. Mutually worrying
They all could not bear to see Wulan sitting in front of his Daddy. Grandma immediately helped him stand up.
"Please explain to me why you can change" Marquez said later. He wiped his tears violently.
Wulan finally told her everything, after which grandpa and grandma shared her feelings.
Not accepting the story of the child and his parents, Marquez asked for a book that both parents had read. And with a quick step up the stairs, Wulan picked up the book meant by her daddy.
After that, he handed the thick book to his daddy. With a little rough Marquez accepted it and then opened and read some of its contents. Melati also close her body next to her husband, in order to be able to read the book.
After reading half the contents, Marquez felt his head throbbing in pain. They immediately pulled Marquez's body into his room.
They surrounded her, while grandma headed to the kitchen to make some warm tea. And before long he had returned to the room, and offered the warm tea. Melati received it, then helped her husband to drink the tea.
"This is a big and complicated issue. Take a break first. Forgive us for making you this way. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call us." said grandpa, then he dragged his grandson's body to come out followed by the grandma. Mommy is still there.
Wulan was sad and felt guilty for making her daddy like that. But what he can do, he has to defend something more important in his life.
Melati again offered her husband warm tea. After drinking the man tried to close his eyes. His wife slowly squeezed his body.
When Marquez fell asleep, jasmine ventured to open the thick book on the nightstand, then read carefully.
Like his father-in-law, he was also amazed at the contents of the book. For a long time she read, until she did not realize that her husband had actually opened his eyes. And when he saw Melati reading, he watched his wife carefully.
"Honey." said Marquez, who made Melati flinch in shock, then put the book back in its place.
"Em, just a few minutes ago." Melati's lie. He had read for about 2 hours.
"The book is actually easy to understand. But it was my heart that denied the truth, that made my head dizzy." Marquez rubbed his forehead.
"Don't think too much about honey. You just rest first."
"Are you going to follow the instructions in the book? What have our children and parents done?"
Melati silent a thousand languages, confused to answer what to her husband's question. He was confused if he had to choose the two most important parts of his life. Confidence and family.
"Honey, why shut up?" said Marquez who woke his wife from daydreams.
"Why do you say that honey? Please, don't confuse me."
"It seems that we should indeed study the book to the end, before giving the appropriate punishment to our child." Marquez sat down and grabbed the book, then started reading it.
They spent most of the day reading the thick book. While outside the room, the other family members were quite anxious why the two Wulan parents did not come out.
"How is this grandpa, grandma. Why haven't Daddy and Mommy been out of the room since? It's already afternoon. Wulan was afraid of anything happening with them."
"You calm down, baby. We have God a place to ask." said the wise grandpa.
"Grandpa is absolutely right." Wulan hugged the white-haired man to make him calmer.
