On the terrace of a husband and wife who are no longer young are sitting enjoying the rain while drinking tea and some snacks

" Did the child not call mom ?" Tanya Jaafar opened the conversation

" Not yet sir." replied Jasmin putting down a glass containing tea that he had just drank

" Normally every year the children will go home 'but why this year none of them gave the news will go home sir ? " said Yasmin

" I don't know ma'am, maybe they're still not on holiday" Jaafar replied

" Hmm, I also miss our grandson's grandson sir "yasmine's face looks moody

Swiping the back of his wife's hand

" We do not know what busy they face mom, just be patient there will be a time when we will gather"

" Hmm mother is also impatient again sir will gather with our children and grandchildren later "a little smile

" As soon as all this is done Jasmin, so be patient" said Jaafar looking at Jasmin

"Yes sir" replied Jasmin

" It's almost dark ma'am, we go in "stand first

" Yes, sir, "Jasmin stood with the glass and plates they both ate..

"Afar I will continue sewing for a while" Jasmin said as soon as she placed the glass and plate

"But it's almost dark ma'am "look outwards

"It's okay sir, it still looks like there's only one shirt left unfinished for Dira" smiled

"So ma'am, "brushed Jasmin's shoulder gently

Jaafar then entered the room while Jasmin sat in front of the sewing machine making clothes for his grandson..

Jaafar came out of the room and approached Jasmin

" Cold rain bu "cover Jasmin's body in warm clothes

Jasmin looked at Jaafar smiling

" Thank you dear" said Jasmin

Jaafar pulled up the chair and sat down to accompany Jasmin sewing the clothes..

1 hour passed

" It's finally done too" said Jasmin smilingly staring at the shirt he had just finished making

" It's beautiful ma'am, you're good at making clothes if I hadn't decided to live in the village "

Jaafar's words were cut

" Enough sir, there is no need to bring up the past, I am happy even though living in our home village is always together like this" said Jasmin

Jaafar smiled kissing Jasmin's forehead

" Thank you for accepting all my shortcomings" Jaafar said

" Already sir, I am also human must have a lack of "looking at Jaafar

" Yes let's take a break, it's already night" said Jaafar

" Yes sir, I put this shirt down first "show the clothes in his hand

" Yes ma'am, I went to the room first" said Jaafar

" Yes sir "

Jaafar walked slowly towards the room and Jasmin placed the recently finished shirt in the closet and walked into the room..

They were lying on the bed facing each other and holding hands

" Good night dear, dream beautiful, long life is always given health" said Jaafar

jasmin smiled

" Same prayer for you, baby "

They closed their eyes and began to fall asleep

Yes, the routine of Jaafar and Jasmin before going to bed, the same words they have said from the beginning of marriage until now

The sunlight began to warm the earth..

Jasmin was in the kitchen while Jaafar was sitting on the front porch of his house drinking tea that had been provided by his wife..

" Grandfather "

Jaafar's eyes looked at the origin of the voice and saw his 2 grandchildren running towards him

" My grandson "Jaafar stood up and they hugged

" You came 'why not tell your previous grandfather you can come at the same time what you have planned all this" Jaafar asked his grandson

" Of course we go home sir, we miss you hmm we all surprise you sir "Jonathan kissed the back of Jaafar's hand

His wife was named Hana

Jessi and her husband, too

Jaabier also approached Jaafar kissing the back of Jaafar's hand and hugging him

" Where's mom, sir ?" Ask Jabier

"Akh mother in the kitchen, she will be very happy to see all of you, let's all go in "Jaafar with a happy face leading his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter into the house..

" Grandmother" to her two grandchildren at the same time

Jasmin turned her body and looked at her three grandchildren as well as her son and daughter-in-law

" My grandson "Jasmin hugged them

" Mother "Jessie hugs her mother and kisses the back of Jasmin's hand and turns with the others..

When they finished they all walked towards the middle room deftly Jasmin opened the mat for his son-in-law and grandson to sit down

" Why don't you call me first "ask Jasmine

" I'm sorry ma'am, we just want to surprise you " replied Jaabier

" Yes, I'm glad you're home, I don't think you're going home" Yasmin said

" Where might we not go home ma'am" said Jonathan smilingly looking at his mother

" You haven't eaten yet, wait a minute I'll make breakfast for all of you "Jasmin stood up and walked towards the kitchen

" Let's help mom "Hana and Jessie together

" No need to, you must be tired, right ? and who will Dira be ?" ask Yasmin

" It's okay ma'am, we work the same way it'll be faster" Jessie said

" Dira is with her sister's sister ma'am " replied Hana

" I'm sorry, son, I'm troubling you" said Mother

I shook Jasmin's hand

" Mom don't say it like that, we all love mom" Hana said

Jasmin smiled and nodded and the three of them started cooking in the kitchen..

Just a few minutes of cooking was ready Jessie and Hana was also deft to help Jasmin

Now they sit on the mat and start eating

Jasmin feeds Dira the youngest grandson of Jonathan's son

" Let's a pretty boy eat a lot " jasmin patiently fed himself while the other two grandchildren were older Jonathan Daniel's first child was sitting on the bench while Jessie Arin's son was still sitting on the primary school bench

As soon as we finished eating again Jessie, Hana and Jasmin tidied everything up ..

" Keep your rest in the room, this let me finish" Yasmin said

" Okay ma'am" said Jessie and Hana then left the kitchen

After Jasmin finished he immediately looked for his three grandchildren and sat down to play

The older Daniel also sat down with his younger brother and grandmother

Daniel loved his grandmother so much as did Arin ..

Jaafar was sitting in his house with his two sons and one son-in-law

This kind of atmosphere is very pleasant to gather with family

Talk, laugh together

* A good family is built with love, started with affection, and nurtured with loyalty *
