"Assalamu'alaikum," Gwen immediately sat down among the three of them. It was even urgent in the middle of his parents who were sitting side by side at the time.
"Wa'alaikumsallam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,"
"Where have you been? Why does your face look like that?" ask Rebecca.
"Dad I ordered food on Dad, yeah. For later tonight, a portion for the whole family at home and boarding school" said Gwen happily.
"Why?" rebecca, Yusuf and Chen asked simultaneously.
"Later tonight there's a guy who's gonna propose to me. Okay, I'm gonna bust it! Assalamu'alaikum!" Gwen just left by walking like a child who received change when asked to buy oil to the stall.
Joseph asked his son, Chen. Indeed Chen knew a little about who the man who proposed to the youngest brother candidate who was still like a child.
Chen started telling his parents, if Aisyah even knew who the man was. In essence, Chen revealed that the man was a very good man, and asked his parents not to worry.
"We just don't want Gwen to take the wrong step, after all Aisyah also does not want to marry. How could an older sister be overstepped?" respond Rebecca.
"That's you. You never gave Gwen her own decision. That's what makes him always assume that he is still like a child and always not in love" said Chen.
"I'm here, don't worry. I'm in charge of my two sisters. Take it easy, everything will be fine. Better ... Dad, we should go to the restaurant, right? Let's make a delicious meal for Gwen's proposal tonight!"
"For Mom, don't make my sister in there worry. Rest, and keep your mother's womb well. Perhaps, Aisyah and Assistant Dishi will be home soon, go into the room." said Chen pulled his mother's hand and led her to the room.
Joseph's heart trembled. It was as if the burden in his life had collapsed just like that when Chen came. He did not expect that his son would be so wise, not even distinguishing between his biological parents and his adoptive parents who had raised him. There were no tears wetting her cheeks.
Joseph's daydream was interrupted when Chen touched his shoulder and took him to the restaurant. "Dad, come!"
When he got outside, Chen simply observed Joseph's car. He was silent and thought something. He asked Joseph why his son was silent. "What's up, Chen?"
"Dad, I can drive but I don't have a license. Will it cause no problems?" ask Chen back.
"Then let me drive for you" Yusuf said, entering the driving section.
"Don't! I can't let my parents be my driver. Better if I drive it!" chen resolutely holding his father's hand.
"Well, when you get home, you drive, how?" joseph suggested that his son not be offended. "Get in and we'll leave soon." he continued.
Chen finally complied. On the road, Joseph asked why his son did not have a permit despite being able to drive. Then, with a heavy heart, Chen reveals the tragic events of 5 years ago that took away his best friend.
"Accident?" ask Yusuf.
"Yes, Dad. The accident also caused me to lose my memory temporarily. I don't remember anything about my life when I was in America. But somehow, I can remember you guys, my real family?" obviously Chen.
"During the accident, I kept looking for something I had forgotten. But I don't know what it is. It seems .. I have committed a great sin, so I never calm down if I'm behind the wheel, Dad," he continued.
"But I can't remember it. All I remember after the accident was that I had two younger sisters and both of my parents in this country. That's all it is. Even I don't remember at all if Mr. Wang was my Raised Father." Chen said, showing his regret.
The accident remains a mystery. Chen himself did not remember Mr. Wang, but could remember his biological family. That was why, he was even cold with Cindy and Xia for never assuming they existed in his memory.
Then, what accident was that? Why Chen lost his memory, and what he did so he thought he had committed a great sin.
Meanwhile, Aisyah and Assistant Dishi finished purchasing the medicine. They were also from the puskesmas where Aisyah worked. After that, we just headed home.
"Congratulations to you, Aisyah" said Assistant Dishi.
"For?"
"In your mother's pregnancy, soon you will have another sister" Assistant Dishi said with a smile.
"You're mocking me?" sulut Aisyah's.
"Your age, haha, next year 23. That's the most beautiful gift, isn't it?" tease Assistant Dishi while driving Aisyah's car.
Aisyah's cheeks are flushed. He was even more upset that Assistant Dishi kept teasing him. So, out came the words of Aisyah who always made Assistant upset when called, "Koko!"
"I hate that you call me that, Ayesha!" exclaimed Assistant Dishi singing his lips.
"Why? Ko Feng alone was never angry when I called him that name. What harm?" ask Aisyah.
"I'm like your older brother if you call me that. And I don't want to be considered an older brother by you." explained Assistant Dishi.
They both blushed. Still shy even though they were hoping for each other. Aisyah was rarely able to get along with a man who was not her own brother. However, together with Assistant Dishi makes him always smile and as if regardless of the burden of thoughts about Gwen and her responsibilities to his naughty sister.
"You know, I'm really happy when we get to meet again, Aisyah. Although I should be self-conscious if you're hard on me," Inner Assistant Dishi.
"What'sthis? Why am I so comfortable with him? Is this what you call falling in love? I'd better ask Ayyana." said Aisyah in heart as well.
At the restaurant, Yusuf and Chen are eager to cook for the night. While Rebecca talked to the family in the boarding house.
"Dad, what do you want to eat this chicken for?" ask Chen.
Yusuf laughed when he touched the chicken. It is known, Chen during his life was a vegetarian because the dream appeared 15 years when he was 7 years old.
"Why hands? Are you disgusted, Chen? Hahaha ...," Yusuf's laughter irritated Chen.
"Dad, how dare you laugh at me? It's all because of Uncle Adam, he came to my dream and forbade me from eating meat without any explanation. Shit!" aspie Chen.
"Haha, Chen ... Eat the flesh with all your heart when you are here with us. Guaranteed, your uncle will not be angry with you" Joseph still laughed at his son.
"Gosh, Dad. You know what foods are so bitter?" Chen started joking.
"Pare?"
"Wrong!"
"Then?"
"Reality!"
The two laughed together in the restaurant kitchen. The excitement of the father and son who had been delayed for 22 years was intimate and familiar. Both of them seemed to always do that, so that there was no more awkwardness between them.
