"Darling, I think it'll be a long time to go home" Feri told his wife by phone.
"Where are you going, Mom?" ask Tina.
"I want papa nengokin. It's been a long time since papa left home I've never looked up. You're okay if I go home for a long time."
"Why don't you take me, Mom? I also want to join nengokin papa. If you know I can cook for papa."
"Yes, I'm sorry, next time I take you, baby. This is sudden too. Pasir buy chicken grilled order mama. I remember papa. I bought it for my dad and his friend's family.
Oh yes grilled chicken mama's order I sent through gojek. Waiting I was afraid it wasn't good anymore."
"Oh, there was something between the food said Bi Inah. Maybe that's what mom ordered. Yasudah, honey, you drive carefully huh. Don't speed it."
"Yes, thank you for being reminded. I promise I won't speed. I want to talk to my baby.
Papa's son, don't fuss. Don't make your mom tired. Later papa go home, papa want to go to the place of opa first, yes. Mmmm."
After hanging up the phone. Ferries return to Saiful sir's house. Ever since he became a father-to-be, Feri tried to learn from what happened in his time. Learn how his father educated himself despite being disappointed in the end. The disappointment Feri felt at that time was quite deep. Papa who was his role model.
Feri is now beginning to accept his papa's change of wanting to repent. Wanting to be near God, when Andre asked to be escorted to Saiful's house, Feri also responded to Andre's wishes. Although Feri has kept his papa at home while in search of a house. Unfortunately Andre refused the wishes of the child.
"Papa is old, if you want to buy a house later redundant. He lives alone, lives at home alone. You better save the cost for the household."
"But, pa ..."
"Papa please be with you, Feri. Don't buy papa a house. Papa wants to stay with papa's friend. All looking for work. Papa hasn't worked since he quit the Rahansyah family."
"Why did papa stop? as far as I know the Ferries family are good people."
"Papa is often sickly, Feri. So papa's body is no longer productive to work as a driver. Even though papa's happy with them."
"So what's papa's plan? work again?" Andre nodded small.
"If papa wants to work Feri can ask Juna to take papa to Lembang. Juna said there was a villa om Johan that no one was guarding."
"No need, son. Papa wants to be invited to be a marbot near Saiful's house. Papa's plan is to stay there. Free of contract money. Papa apologizes for bothering you and your mama."
The car that Feri was driving stopped in front of a small alley. Ferries are looking for the right parking space so as not to hamper traffic around. His feet came down from the car. Do not forget to bring the package of food that has been bought earlier.
Ferries enter a small alley called the Patih gang. The alley is far from the crowd and is behind a large, multi-storey building. The little kids run. The sound of not knocking lato-lato was heard in every house.
Feet Feri standing in front of a white paint house fenced in bamboo. A middle-aged man was sitting cleaning his motorbike. Feri said hello to the man. Before long the man looked up at the fence. Welcoming a special smile.
"Oh God, son Feri. I guess who? come on in, kid. Sorry, I'm on a motorbike." Saiful opened the fence and let his guest in.
Ferries sit in rattan chairs with panjar pillows. His eyes looked around him. He also focused on the photo stamped on the wall. One of them is a photo of a young man in army clothes.
"That's the father's son?"
"Yes, kid. My only child. That was when he was in first grade school. He aspires to be a soldier. So he often helped my wife sell.
"Surely the father's son has become a successful soldier now."
"That's a photo of our last meeting. Patra passed away after meeting us. He was found dead in the training building. Until now we have not found the bright spot of the culprit."
Feri looked at Mr. Saiful's face. It's not that he opened up Mr. Saiful's old wounds. There is a bad taste because it makes them remember a child who is gone.
For a moment the living room was silent. Feri and Mr. Saiful are immersed in each other's thoughts. Ferries instantly remember its main purpose.
"Sorry, sir. I didn't mean to..."
"It's okay, son Feri. What's the matter with Feri coming here?"
"I'm here to see my papa. Is he here, or is he still at work?"
Mr. Saiful was silent for a moment. As if confused should start a conversation from where. His hands keep folding.
Feri saw it immediately concluded that there was something hidden Mr. Saiful.
"Sir, do you think my papa still works at the mosque near here?"
"Anu... well how should I explain?"
"Did something happen to my papa?" guess Ferries.
"Actually like this Feri, one day after being ushered here, Mr. Andre immediately asked to stay at the mosque. A small room near WC. I kept warning him to move to another place. He refused and stayed there. Until after one week there, one morning Mr. Andre found an empty charity box in front of his room. Of course the mosque wants to take Mr. Andre to the police."
"so my papa is now in jail?" feri's voice sounded high.
"No, sir. I guarantee that he will be released from prison. Because I believe he's in defamation. But no one believes. When I bring it home. Demo people. They asked Andre to be kicked out. I can't do anything, son. And I cannot ban it when Mr. Andre chooses to leave the house. Without knowing where it's going."
Feri rubbed his face rough. His hands clenched hard.
"Do you know where my dad is?"
"He said he wanted to live in a nursing home. He said he had a lot of friends there. But a nursing home where I don't know.
Feri opened his gawai. His hands danced over the screen and then glued it over the thin screen.
"Riko, I ask you to find out all the nursing homes in Jakarta. Contact me as soon as you get the information." Feri ordered.
"Make what, sir? so I can give you a reason."
"You can just find the address and let me know!"
"Good, sir."
Papa where, Pa.
