Return to Gudeg City ....
The adem and ayem household is a depiction of the Pandu and Ervita households. By adding their children, they are even more compact to nurture Indi and Irene. Also, with Pandu who looks more and more Ayahable when able to take his two children at once.
That is what happens now when Ervita is packing batik that is sold online. So in the Pendopo, Pandu held Irene in his hand, and there was Indi sitting on his lap. Really looks a Daddyable figure. Even Ervita was laughing when she saw her husband.
"Cool deh Yayah," he said.
"Feel sultan yah, Nda," Pandu replied.
Pandu feels to be the luckiest man in the world because he is surrounded by beautiful women in his own home. There's Ervita, Indi, and Irene.
"Especially if the children are adults yes, Yah ... seems to be the Sultan," replied Ervita.
Pandu then nodded his head. "When Indi and Irene grow up, what about us?"
"Lha, why Dad?" ask Ervita again.
"Usually, when the children are getting older. There may be Indi and Irene who will study outside the city, or even some who work outside the city. In fact, it could be that our children get a distant soul mate," he replied.
Apparently what Pandu is worried about is when his children are old, and then he can choose to study outside the city, even get a distant soul mate. Presumably, Pandu had thought that far. Ervita smiled instead.
"If you have a daughter like this anyway, Mas. Someday our children will grow up, so there are times when we will age, pull over. Letting the children pursue their dreams, even edited by another man," Ervita replied.
"I want to enjoy the glory days of being a father first, Nda. Before Indi and Irene get bigger, and maybe they'll go to college outside the city. As long as the children are young, I will always pour out my love for my children" Pandu said.
Ervita smiled again. "Your father is you, my mother," replied Ervita.
"Yes, I hope it always does, Nda. Having girls is harder, Nda. I have to take good care of him. Don't let anything bad happen. I want to deliver Indi and Irene highly educated, able to achieve his goals. His father will work hard to push the bones to send Indi and Irene to school," said Pandu.
"Your ideals are so noble, Jayah. May God hear our prayers and hopes. We can send Indi and Irene as high as possible. The mother is just a high school graduate, it's okay. The important thing is that his children must be more successful than his mother" he replied.
Yes, Ervita herself looked to herself who was just a high school graduate. Actually she had felt like a student for several semesters, but all ran aground when she became pregnant out of wedlock and was then kicked out of the house. No more opportunities to pursue goals.
"How do you want to go to college again, Nda?" ask Pandu.
At least if only just want to go to college again, Pandu feels still strong to send Ervita to school. Studying at the Open University is not a problem. It can be taken Saturday-Sunday, or online lectures.
"No need, Mas. I'm happy like this. What matters is that my children can go to high school" Ervita replied.
At this point also Pandu showed full support for Ervita. He gave the opportunity for his wife to achieve her dream, continuing her education that had been cut off. By providing support, of course Pandu is also ready to take care of children, when he goes to college.
"Don't do it, ma'am. Just planted for our children" replied Ervita.
"Yes, Nda .. It is important that you later if there are dreams or ideals in the future, do not forget to tell me. To be sure, I will always support you" he replied.
Ervita smiled too. "Yeah, yes" he replied.
Pandu also chuckled amusedly. "Ihh, Ndanya Didi ya kayak Didi deh," he replied.
"It's okay, Jayah. Just kidding," he replied.
Indi, who had been silent since, finally spoke. "Dad, later if big Didi want to be like Yaah well," he said.
"Indeed did know, What kind of work do you do?" ask Pandu.
"Yes, Nda said that Yamah is a great interior designer. Didi wants to be like Yayah well," he replied.
Pandu smiled, apparently Ervita often told about her profession to Indi. Even Pandu was happy when Indi would follow in his footsteps. However, if Indi has other dreams it does not matter.
"Yes, may .. but someday if Indi has other dreams and ideals, tell Yayah well. Jayah will work and save so that he can send Indi as high as possible," said Pandu.
Indi nodded his head. "Iya Yaah .. Didi will tell the story of Kayah and Nda. He said, Didi, his little friend, Jayah," he replied.
"Yes dong ... his best friend Jayah," Pandu replies by peeping the top of his daughter's head.
"If Sister Irene wants to be what? So just as Yayah can too," Ervita replied.
Pandu immediately glanced at his wife. "Well, cook both interior designers. So the doctor, the author, or whatever can really," he replied.
"Cool times well, if you can become a Doctor," replied Ervita.
"Amin .. pray, Nda. One of our daughters will become a doctor later," Pandu replied.
There are many prayers and hopes for the future. Hopefully, indeed the Owner of the Universe will provide answers to every hope pinned by Ervita and Pandu today.
