The Story of the Children of the Juragan
68. Youthful
After watering the flowers, mommy sat down on a garden chair beside her house. He sat there thinking about his only child. Until the sound of her husband's car she didn't hear it.
Meanwhile, after Marquez got out of the car, he walked into his magnificent house. He entered his room and found no wife.
"Make sure to water the flowers again." he murmured as he went down the stairs, and walked out of the house. After circling the house, he finally found his wife sitting in a chair.
"It must be thinking about Wulan." guessed Marquez as he placed both his hands on his wife's shoulders, so the woman gasped in shock.
"Honey, you just got home?" mommy Jasmine looked up at her husband's face.
"Em, it was a few minutes ago. I've been to the room, then around the house looking for you. And finally found my heart here."
"Remember age. Always say dreadlocks." Mommy Melati pinches her husband's nose squash. Until the man grimaced in pain.
"The word mami-in-law used to mean, that dreadlocks means clothes. So you're not wearing me a shirt?" kekeh Marquez's. His wife looks pursed her lips, because her husband is often joking.
"Don't keep teasing me like that. We are old."
"Although old, remain young. We deserve to have one or two more children. So that you don't daydream of loneliness in Wulan's house."
Mommy Melati looks back at her husband's face. He has been lonely since Wulan. It's only been 3 days, but it's been like a year. How will he pass his long days without the presence of Wulan again.
"Honey, I want Wulan to come home once a week." whined mommy, who made her husband cough.
He knew his wife was thinking about her son. Actually he also misses Wulan, but as a man abstinence for him grieve in the presence of women, including his wife.
Meanwhile, mommy inwardly confirmed her husband's words. He realized he was being too selfish.
"Honey, then what if Wulan comes home once every 6 months?"
"Honey, you're like a buyer, use a bargaining chip." Marquez joked.
"Let him go home as he pleases. Maybe sometimes we surprise, with us coming there. Certainly not anytime soon."
Mixed up mommy's feelings. But when she heard her husband talking about a surprise for Wulan, she felt a little relieved.
"Yes, then, I'd like to borrow your phone. I want to ask you about our daughter, can't I?" mommy stretched her hand out toward her husband.
"Promise not to cry. Gotta give encouragement and support to our daughter."
Marquez thrust his little finger like a child asking his parents for an appointment. Mommy jasmine chuckles at her husband's funny behavior. Then she tied her little finger to her husband's pinkie.
After that, Marquez handed his phone to his wife, and he sat nearby. In just a matter of seconds, that aerial call finally connected.
