When Teacher Meets Pilot 2
Helms

"Why are you even taking me home?"

Tiara looked straight at the house full of her memories with her late father. On an ordinary day, after work, his father would sweep the terrace and take out his birds to hang in a place that his father had designed. Until the sun completely sets, then the birds will be put again into the house. On holidays, Tiara and her father would usually clean the house together.

"I'm not ready yet, let's just go!" whine Tiara to Yundhi, but the man flinch.

"When should you?" Yundhi tried to speak as calmly as possible, "you're not ready today, you'll keep saying tomorrow. Tomorrow you're not ready, and say the day after tomorrow, and so on."

The corner of Tiara's eyes was already watery. True said Yundhi, the word ready will never exist if we are not really willing to face the problem itself.

"Aunty Helma's presence isn't as bad as you think it is, face it now or not forever. I want you to make peace with the reality that happened before we got married. Aunty Helma and Revelation are not people you should avoid constantly."

Tiara hurriedly wiped away her ever-hardening tears. His eyes are still faithful to observe the house that became a witness growing from childhood. Almost the same as before, the house was seen in good care, the plants that Tiara planted were also preserved, even looked more fertile. Now he felt Yundhi clasping his hands, fusing their fingers together.

"Trust me, everything will be okay, huh. Going down now?"

It took a few seconds until Tiara nodded in agreement. Yundhi immediately removed the link and got out of the car, circled around and opened the door for Tiara. They entered the courtyard of the house hand in hand. Yundhi wanted to make sure to Tiara that she was not alone. There was herself there, who Tiara could always rely on.

Arriving at the door, Yundhi was the one who took the initiative to knock first because he was sure Tiara would do a pull in this case, and on the knock to the two door handle sounds are heard moving from inside.

Helma's shady gaze welcomed Yundhi and Tiara's arrival. Some time Helma shut her mouth looking at Tiara in disbelief. Yundhi greeted Helma first, and Tiara got a warm welcome hug from the middle-aged woman.

"Let's go in, why are you still outside!" bring Helma, "Revelation! There was Yundhi's sister," she half-cried to call her son.

Perhaps because of the shock of Tiara's sudden arrival made Helma like a distraught person. Several times he sat down but then stood up, he entered the kitchen but came out again, Yundhi almost laughed seeing his future father-in-law.

"You drink what to make aunty, aunty also have a new cake to cook, was the portion of aunty make more than the order, Yundhi friends Tiara first yes aunty make a drink." Helma was heard talking with one breath, after which she looked bored, "sorry aunty has not had time to beberes, but your room is always aunty clean every day," helma continued again, taking some of the scattered toys of Revelation, she then placed them in a basket joined with another toy of Revelation. Helma went back to the kitchen, did her word, made drinks for them.

Tiara and Yundhi looked at each other, "are we looking at Aunt Helma?"

"Sir Yundhiiiiiii!" the voice of a child shouted from inside the room. Revelation immediately rammed his body with Yundhi's feet. Tiara.

"Hi champ, has pinter now, can you take care of his mama replacein kak Tiara?" Revelation is stirring over the sling of Yundhi. "Tos first dong!"

The interaction of the two men of different generations made Tiara smile. Shame on himself who was not even seen by his own sister. Revelation seemed more familiar to Yundhi, not knowing what her future husband did with Revelation during his time in Loca.

"Don't be naughty, there's Brother Tiara, has salim not?" helma's voice came out from the kitchen, carrying a tray filled with drinks and cakes. Only after Helma had called her name did Revelation turn to Tiara, did Yundhi lower her from the sling and the little boy stretched out his hand. The squatting tiara equalized their height. Revelation kissed his brother's hand.

"How are you doing with Revelation?" greet Tiara. The boy was still resting his body at Yundhi's feet and playing Yundhi's hands nonstop.

"The brother in the photo is as old as Adib," Tiara turned to Helma.

"That is, Revelation often comes to your room when I clean it, so she often sees your photos on display on the walls of the room" Helma explained, Tiara smiled.

"Yes, the brother in the photo is the same father Adib," Tiara's lips felt aghast when calling her father's name, "Sister Tiara her brother Wahyu, we are brothers." Touching the cheek of Revelation, Tiara tries to make a connection with her half-brother.

"Like Yundhi's brother?"

The silent atmosphere greeted for a moment.

"Yes, like brother Yundhi, but brother Tiara is closest to Revelation. Brother Yundhi is a distant brother."

Yundhi chuckled looking at Tiara who was trying to get the attention of the Revelation.

"Why even squat, let's sit down first" said Helma. They finally took their respective positions, but it seems that Revelation was reluctant to be far from Yundhi.

"What are you doing while I'm gone, why keep the spindles going?" ask Tiara.

"Someone wants to know our secret, brother Tiara kepo ya Yu." Revelation played a hand punch with Yundhi, making Yundhi act in pain until dropping down. Again Tiara was made anxious with the behavior of both.

"Yundhi came here several times to visit Revelation, sometimes taken by road, do not know where, bring toys home, how not happy with Yundhi.l son," Helma's short story.

Even what should have been my duty, he replaced it well. Tiara promised herself to have a good relationship with Revelation like a brother. The boy was cute and adorable and Tiara liked his eyes the most. Revelation inherits the eyes of their father.

Feeling the atmosphere of sudan melting, Yundhi began to carry out his mission. He knew for sure, Tiara and Helma needed time alone to talk. Communication is the best way to improve a relationship. That's what Yundhi wants to do right now. Make Tiara accept Helma's presence.

"Udah."

"Well, is that fat now? Brother Yundhi wants to see."

Without warning Revelation drew Yundhi's hand towards the backyard where his rabbit's cage was placed. They left, leaving Tiara and Helma.

***

While Yundhi and Revelation were busy feeding the rabbits, Helma and Tiara were still silent to each other. They were both busy looking for chat materials, and were still hesitant to start first.

"How's your relationship with Yundhi boy?" finally Helma spoke first.

"Okay, we're planning on getting married soon."

"Oh yeah? Yundhi has never told me." Helma's face looked startled, but then she realized that she was not the one who was a priority for Tiara, "meaning aunt, as long as Yundhi's son visited she never mentioned about your relationship, so aunt kira..."

"Ga anything, like it or not aunty is already a part of my family. Aunty will also probably be a representative of my family later, apart from the extended family of the deceased father and mother, what aunt is willing?"

Hearing Tiara's request, Helma looks shocked. He still did not believe his hearing.

"You want your aunt to be involved in your marriage, right?" ask her with teary eyes.

Tiara nodded and her hand was quickly grabbed by Helma.

"Of course, auntie is willing, with pleasure, you can ask for help aunt, anything, do not hesitate to tell auntie if you need help!"

Again Helma spoke without pause, showing her enthusiasm.

Tiara did not expect Helma's enthusiastic reaction. He himself was at a loss for words to compensate for the mother's reaction.

"Thank you." Only that word crossed Tiara's mind.

Helma shook her head instead, "aunty should thank you," this time Helma really cried. "You want to accept aunty as a family it becomes an extraordinary thing for aunty. Can auntie hug you one more time?"

Tiara was flabbergasted, "Surely sa___" Helma first hugged Tiara before Tiara finished her sentence. Warm feelings flooded Tiara's heart. Helma's presence wasn't as bad as she thought. The woman had a warm heart, just like her late mother. Maybe that's why her father wanted to marry Helma.

One thing that Tiara still regretted and stuck in her heart, her lips were still very afraid to call Helma the proper name. But realizing the familiarity that began to intertwine was already rapid progress for both Tiara and Helma.

"I'm sorry, auntie hasn't been to the market. In the fridge there's only this cooking." Helma serves vegetables and potluck dishes on the table. Corn parchment, tempe bacem, anchovy sauce and chili leaf vegetables are dancing to bring out a delicious aroma to the corner of the room. Although it looks simple, the aroma of cooking is very appetizing to them.

"Eh, but Yundhi, Tiara, you can't eat the chili leaf vegetable. Otherwise, let the aunt ceplokin deh eggs, or omelets. Aunty's got leek stock in the fridge."

"Could tan__" Tiara and Yundhi replied, they then exchanged a glance. Helma also looked towards them.

Before long the sound of laughter Yundhi and Tiara, making Helma astonished herself. Revelation simply observes while playing its dinosaur statue.

"Daddy once made this vegetable first, Yundhi happened to eat here at that time, so we have tried it," explained Tiara. Helma mangut-mangut understood. "Now I know where you got that recipe from."

Helma's face turned soft. Tiara could quickly see the mimicry of Helma's face. But the warm woman was also quickly able to control herself.

"Let's start eating, get cold. Dear revelation, the toys are stored first yes, we eat first son!" Helma took the toy of Revelation and kept it.

"Wahyu can read do'a before you eat, right?" ask Yundhi.

Revelation nodded.

"Revelation lead do'a yeah before we start eating, okay!"

The dinner lasted wisdom with a very thick warm atmosphere. Tiara was very grateful for what happened. The presence of a new person in his life is not something he should ruin. Perhaps he has forgotten that there is always wisdom behind an event.
