Life is like a journey. There are many roads to be traveled. Not only flat and smooth, but there are also climbs and derivatives, with winding, muddy, hollow and pebbled roads.
There was a time of rain and heat, on a journey we went through as well. Will we stop, if the journey has not reached its destination?
At the very least, we will continue to take steps for that journey, although we also do not know, when it is time to arrive at the destination.
We only do what we think is right, even though there are many voices telling us.
"Don't go that way!"
"Through the road over there!"
"It shouldn't be!"
"Ahhh.. suck!"
"Oh, just stop. Don't keep going!"
But, do we have to follow everyone? What is in your heart?
The journey of one's destiny, no one knows, how ahead. Only God and time can explain and answer.

Two years later.
"Ma. The baby is smiling!" Aji yelled at his mother, Cilla.
"Talk to dong!" cilla exclaimed, from inside the bathroom.
"And he can't talk about Ma!" answer the aji by shouting as well.
Chequek!
Cilla came out of the bathroom, with a fresher face. He walked towards the baby box, not far from his bed. There Aji, her big son, is bending over to watch her baby sister.
"She can't talk, honey, but she can hear you talking. There's an interaction with her heart and her feelings as well with yours" Cilla explained.
"Well funny Ma. But he can not be invited to play games or anything else," protested Aji.
"Not dong! Later if it is as big as Aji, and Aji has been even bigger can be invited to play. Taught as well yes, let pinter also like Aji," said Cilla by stroking Aji's hair.

"Must dong! Aji should be able to become Anjani's protector. How does it feel to have a baby?" mami asks Rossa, while pouring rice into Aji's plate.
"Mrs Oma. Funny companion! Aji wants to have a lot of adek, can you?" ask Aji enthusiastically.
Gilang and Cilla, were shocked to hear Aji's request. While Mami Rossa laughed happily, while looking at Cilla and Gilang alternately.
"You can hear yourself. Mami also wants to ask for Aji's kayak," said mami Rossa, hugging Aji from the side. Nevertheless, his words were intended for his son Gilang, and his son-in-law, Cilla.
"Honey. You can hear it too, right? That means we have to overtime again, if Anjani is asleep," Gilang told Cilla, in a quiet voice.
"Buck..ihsss! Still this morning" said Cilla with a red face.
Gilang smiled happily, hearing his wife's reply. He also felt happy, with all that he had been through all this time. Her marriage to Cilla, was a bliss not only for herself, but also for her son Aji, and her mother, mami Rossa.
"Non. Let aunt gendong neng Anjani first. Let Non have breakfast" said the aunt offering help.
"Do you need a baby sitter Honey?" tanya Gilang gave a proposal to his wife. In the past, she had proposed to take a baby sitter, but Cilla refused.
"No need, Mas" replied Cilla by shaking her head.
"But if there's another year, can you take care of yourself?" ask Gilang, smiling.
"Eh, that's different!" cilla replied, with a flushed face.
"Hahaha.." Gilang laughed, sounding full of happiness.
Mami Rossa smiled, looking at her son who looked very happy. He felt grateful, because he could still see his son had a family, and had cute children. His life feels perfect.
Aji who was having breakfast, just smiled at the laughter of her papa. He didn't really understand what his father and mother were talking about. All she knows is that, in a year, she's gonna have another baby. That means, it will increase again, the inhabitants of this house, and he also has playmates, even though they cannot be spoken to.
"For all!"
From the direction of the entrance, it appears that Mr. Adi who came along with the doctor Dimas, his sister. They both walked to the dining table. "It just so happens that we haven't had breakfast yet" said doctor Dimas, smiling broadly.
"Ah, you are! Don't be ashamed of why!" said Mr. Adi, by hitting his shoulder slowly.
"Well, is that so, right? It's called Bang's sustenance!"
"Hum..."
Mr. Adi, just look up to hear his sister's words. He immediately experienced mami Rossa and Cross fiber TOS with Aji. "Hi, Uncle champ!" greet Mr. Adi to Aji.
"Eh, howdy!" galang protest, to Mr. Adi.
"Belvin. Aji alone did not protest," said Mr. Adi sneering.
"Luckily, I did not rebuke Cilla with my love. Hahaha.." said doctor Dimas, with his laugh that was off Gilang.
"Ihs... You came early in the morning, just want to riot at my house?" asked Gilang with squeaking eyes.
"Haha... Aye!"
"Rubber!"
Both, Mr. Adi and doctor Dimas, both answered questions from Gilang, with the intention of teasing him They were both very happy to see the face of Gilang, who was being overprotective of Cilla and Aji.
"If you can't be the same as Cilla, I'll just wait for Anjani!" said Mr. Adi meledek Gilang.
"Eh Anjani belongs to Me Bang!" exclaim doctor Dimas protest.
"Eh, make her brother!" exclaim Mr. Adi, do not want to lose.
"Again. My grandchildren are still cute, and you are grandparents" said mami Rossa, shaking her head, with a cold snort.
"There are you guys!" said Gilang annoyed.
Cilla, just smiling looking at their behavior. He feels very happy, with what he is doing now. Children who grow up healthy, husbands who care and love him. Her in-laws, too, are not just in-laws, but replacements for her long-gone mother. Cilla felt grateful to God for all the gifts she received.
Aji. He no longer felt, if he was an unwanted child. He feels happy, can have a full and complete family. Happiness that he never got in the past, when there was only his mother.
In fact, happiness can be created by ourselves, under any circumstances. Life is ours, depending on how we understand and control our own hearts.
