The Story of the Children of the Juragan
269. News from Reyhan
"Why didn't mom and dad tell us that they were coming?" Fatim asked, when he had broken his embrace with his in-laws. Then let them sit.
"We did not intentionally inform you, Fatim. To be a surprise." Reply mama Margaret.
"Darling, come with Oma." Mama Margaretha stretched out her hand towards Abidah who looked like a henchman, sitting inside the stroller.
"Have not seen each other for a long time, you are so beautiful, dear."
Mama Margaret showered her grandson's face with a kiss.
"Yuk, come with opa." Papa Marco extended his hand to Abidah.
"Hem, just a little while ago. Just get dragged." Mama Margaret muttered with glaring eyes.
Marco seemed to be excited, when Abidah was willing to accept his helping hand, and was now sitting in his lap.
Shortly after, the housekeeper arrived. He brought snacks and drinks to his master.
"Come, Sis. Drink it first." Mama Tiwi invited a married couple in front of her to taste the dishes that have been served.
"thank you. You shouldn't bother, Sis. Oh yeah, where's Leon and your husband." Ask mama Margaretha again.
"They're all at work." Reply mama Tiwi.
"Work?" Repeated both Leon's parents compact. The two look at each other.
"Leon work? What kind of job is he? Couldn't he have gone to work with his father-in-law? What if he got the wrong shot?" Papa Marco, who had been quieter since then, now asked because he was overwhelmed with curiosity. But the question only made them laugh.
"Sister Leon now opens the counter, pa. She didn't tell mom and dad. He said let it be a surprise for you if you meet later. But don't ask questions about this first to Leon's brother yes, pa, ma. Because she wanted to say this to me and my mom." Fatim explained.
Papa Marco was bearded with a faint smile. He was proud of his son, but he was an adult. Working hard to support his family. I don't know how many results.
Even if Leon asks for some money, and whatever the nominal, it will certainly be sent. Because he is the sole heir in Marco's family.
"What time does he come home?" Ask papa Marco again.
"It's usually noon he comes home, pa. There's an employee who helps him manage his business." Reply Fatim again.
"Mama and papa can rest first, while waiting for the return of Leon's brother. Let Fatim take you to the room."
"No, we've had too long of a break on the plane. While waiting for Leon's return, we just played with this little guy." Papa Marco took Abidah's chin, moved his hand, and never forgot to kiss his cheek again.
Fatim and Mama Tiwi, had secretly sent a message to their husband, while conversing with Leon's parents.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Papa Adam also protested against his besieging.
"We deliberately want to surprise you and your family. If you're waiting for us to visit the Netherlands, how many years will it take?" Reply to papa Marco, who made papa Adam chuckle.
"Pardon our selfishness, Marco."
Shortly after the arrival of Adam's father, Leon also arrives.
"Mama, papa." He cried while running small, and approached towards his parents. He hugged and hugged them.
For the umpteenth time, Marco and Margaretha received a line of protest. And now it comes from his own son.

"Madonna?" Papa Adam's birthday, while receiving a phone call from Papa Reyhan.
"Yes, you want to?" Papa Reyhan repeated his question.
"Of course I want to. Especially now that I also have my besan. I'll take them along. They must be very happy too."
"Oh yeah, why can that be. With the arrival of his grandpa and grandma Wulan?"
"Maybe they left together yesterday. Oh yeah, thank you, yeah. You've given me some interesting information."
"Together."
"Who's calling?" Ask Mama Tiwi, as she approached her husband who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Reyhan. He wants to take us to Umrah together. Do you want to?" Papa Adam looked at his wife carefully.
"Of course I want to. Even I was wondering, if we live in Mecca, so no need to bother taking care of everything before leaving."
Papa Adam chuckled faintly at the answer that slid from his wife's lips, which he felt was too much of a delusion.
"Hopefully one day your wish can be realized yes, ma. Now pray for papa to always get a lot of sustenance. So that we can easily set foot on that sacred ground."
"Yeah, pa. Of course you'll never forget to pray for me."
"Yes, we go to sleep first. Tomorrow morning we tell Marco and his wife."
Mama Tiwi nodded, confirming her husband's words. After that, both justify the blanket and intend to sleep.
