Suddenly a Husband
After 12 Years

Clapping filled the meeting room after the new head appointment. After that, one by one the people present in the room greeted me, congratulating me on the success I had achieved. No exception with Mr. Mahen, the one who fought so that I could get to this point. The middle-aged man patted my back softly while expressing his pride at the achievement I had achieved.

"This is also thanks to the father who never tired of guiding me!" I said, warmly returning her embrace.

"Oh yes Ben, don't forget to stop by his grandfather Bre's house, he's waiting for your presence. He said he was made with his grandmother Bre. They are proud of what you have achieved!" added mr. Mahen.

Earlier this morning, before leaving for the office, Bili had sent a message so that later tonight I came with the family, besides you there will also be Reni, Riko and Bre as well of course. I welcome the invitation because somehow Bili contributed to my career.

The plan, I will go home sooner because ten o'clock there is the inauguration of the branch of Sanjai Yohana. Also his Padang restaurant. All of that is due to the efforts and hard work of Yohana so that in twelve years he could open five branches of souvenir shops typical of Sumatra in Jabodetabek and two restaurants typical of West Sumatra cuisine.

After the inauguration business was over, I rushed towards the side by side restaurants and gift shops. There Yohana and Caca were waiting. The two women I loved very much welcomed me warmly.

"Finally, you come too, if you are late, you can ask me to pick you up!" said Caca. "This inauguration will not go without the presence of the father, even though the guests have gathered and all are impatient with the dishes that are appetizing." Caca added that he complained that he deliberately did not eat breakfast this morning so he could eat a lot of food here, but hurriedly ate, just entered he could not because the ribbon had already been installed, he said, Yohana won't let him in until the ribbon's in the scissors.

"Pity my dear daughter, all right, now let's get her scissors!" I said I couldn't bear to hear that Caca was starving. Just now we wanted to cut the ribbon, suddenly a young man with a stature like bang Sigit came, Alif, the son of bang Sigit who had grown into a young man, he apparently deliberately came to see the inauguration that became the achievement of his foster mother.

"Congratulations Ma'am, I'm really proud of my mother who has worked so hard to achieve this." Said Alif who was greeted with happiness by Yohana because finally his favorite son was present even though his schedule was very busy for the preparation to enter the force. Alif is intending to become a TNI, he is preparing to take the selection exam so that his ideals are achieved.

After the inauguration; me, Yohana, Caca and Alif ate at the same dinner table. The other guests sat at the other table. Gathering like this is the thing that is most liked by Yohana, although in fact there are still four children who are Bre, Amir his sister Alif, also Diva and Remi, who are still lacking four children, ami's son now lives out of town.

After eating together, we returned home to prepare to attend dinner invitation om Bili and his family. Yohana was most busy, in addition to preparing the clothes of the three of us, she also prepared souvenirs.

"The innards are a lot of pity, it's like going to a besan place." I was joking, spontaneously Caca immediately glanced. "Don't tonight our daughter will be proposed." I continued the guyonan.

"Dad!" Caca glared, he did not seem to like to be slammed this problem because I know his heart is leaning on Alif, and vice versa. Although not in a relationship, but Alif was determined to apply for Caca when he graduated as a TNI later.

Before the debate ended in a quarrel between me and Caca, Yohana immediately mediated. He told us to keep our distance and keep quiet. "Partially you two are not aware either. Her son is getting older, soon to be married and brought by her husband, so make peace because your time together will not be long, will not be more than five years." Yohana.

"Dad why shut up? Wouldn't be able to see me get married? You must be sad, right, if one day I'm being redacted and taken by my husband?" Caca back to mark me who is for a business like this will be very mellow. "Hmmm, if you had more than one daughter, would you be this cool?" he added.

My eyes are on Yohana. We talk to each other in silence. Yes, actually we still have two other princesses. Upik and Puti. But I don't know where he is now. Yohana suddenly got up, she passed into the room. Caca's confused.

"Son, maybe we haven't discussed it before, but I'm asking you not to talk like that because there are actually two other daughters just like you, son." I said. "Two princesses were first, but they disappeared and until now we do not know where they are. Mother will be very sad every time you remember the two of them because they are the same as you. Become the light of his life."

"Oh my God, sorry Dad," Caca seemed to regret her actions. "Now what should I do?"

"What's wrong, just give your mom a little time, yeah." I got up to the room to catch up with Yohana. Up there, as I thought, she was crying. Twelve years was not a short time, there was much sadness that Johana kept on guarding. The hope of meeting which he thought was getting less and less made him very tormented. "I'm sorry Caca for what he said earlier." I said, grabbing her in my arms.

"Why not, he knows nothing. I'm the only one who until now couldn't control my feelings. I really miss those two kids!" The crying became more.

"Don't break up praying baby, I'm sure we'll find them!" I said. Although it felt that the possibility of it was getting less and less, but seeing Yohana who was still very sure that made me believe it too.

"Can I go to Sumatra again?" ask Yohana.

"It's been the fourth time in three ain't this dear."

"But ...."

"alright. But I can't keep company because I'm doing a lot of work."

"No why, I can go with Caca." Although this will be a first for Caca, I don't mind. She is a teenager, already understand how to take care of her mother and restore her mood if suddenly Yohana is sad.
