The Father Boy
ALA58'S CHAT. On mission
Izza gawked, as her husband came with a sack of tubers. Chandra just glanced at his wife, then he laughed again with his brothers by lifting the sack.
"At grandma's house? Tonight we'll go there, we'll taste our little cake first" Key invited by embracing the husband of Izza and Zio.
"It's incomplete but, Brother." Chandra was silent without a fight, as her neck was locked to remain in her brother's arms.
"It's okay, it's all right." Key let go of his embrace and smiled widely at his two younger siblings in turn.
"okay."
They were immediately busy preparing for the event overnight, while Izza was confused about what to do to help them. Watching kids? The children also shoulder to shoulder to feel the hassles that exist. Meanwhile, Izza felt that there was no more work for him to help.
"Dec is here." Chandra invites Izza who is sitting confused on the porch of her husband's house.
Izza nodded, because it was getting night and the residents of the house had moved to gather in crowds in the rarely occupied heritage house. They had no intention of razing this uninhabited house, as their memories grew around this house.
They had once thought, that the grandchildren of their parents should occupy the house only. But he fears their children are out of control if they are far from their supervision.
Izza smiled, as the courtyard of the house was so bright with bonfires and happy people. She was very happy, because her husband always held her hand.
"Bang, pick up Jasmine's sister as much as Vano tuh," Canda's pinta made Chandra's hand on his wife loose.
Immediately, Izza sighed as her husband left her in the middle of his family. It only increased his regret, because the family did not welcome him and took him to participate. They are all busy themselves, with their own activities.
Izza felt that he was alone, in the crowd. He felt, the family really does not look like the beginning he is still a prospective daughter-in-law and prospective new family members.
"Assalamu'alaikum.." Chandra exclaimed in front of Jasmine's house.
"Wa'alaikum salutations." Vano opened the door for Chandra.
Chandra frowned, confused to see that her sister-in-law was wearing a helmet. "You out, Bang? Same as Jasmine?" tanyanya fast.
"You're at work, Saturday night, the usual check report."
Chandra scratched his non-itchy nape. He wondered, is it really like working in a mall?
The ringing of Vano's cell phone that reads lyrics, remains audible in Chandra's ears. Vano, who hastily left, further attracted Chandra's suspicions. In fact, Vano picked up the phone call after quite a distance from Chandra.
Then, her brother showed up. Jasmine looks lethargic, due to her new pregnancy.
"Ehh, Brother." Chandra turned her face to Jasmine and smiled.
"Why, Bang?" Jasmine had been used to calling Chandra that way since childhood.
"To yok there? Bang Vano works he said. Than here alone, the ashes are there. A lot of right." Chandra instantly pulled Jasmine's wrist.
"Samarasa, Bang. Brother at home." Jasmine releases Chandra's hand.
"There is rest. Afraid there's nothing alone here, because people are on the creeps in all the heirloom houses." Chandra is worried that Jasmine will not be controlled by her family.
"Eummm.." Jasmine was seen pondering her sister's invitation.
"Udah come on." Chandra half forced.
"Yes, wait a minute?" Jasmine went back in to retrieve her phone.
"Where's your husband?" Givan had guessed that his son-in-law would not join them together.
"Work, Dad," Jasmine replied bowed. She was ashamed of her father, because her husband was busy alone.
"Just left?" Givan was eager to know the steps of Jasmine's husband with his own eyes. If it really worked, Givan would be grateful that his son-in-law was a hard worker. However, if otherwise. Givan would immediately discuss this with his son, because he did not want his son to drag on being deceived by his own husband.
"Yes, Dad. The moment I came, he left" Chandra explained later.
"Yes, there you sit with Izza." Givan pointed to his new son-in-law. "You and Izza don't do much activity, you remember your baby, remind Izza that she's recovering." Givan rubbed the shoulders of his foster children.
"Yes, Dad." Jasmine stepped towards Izza.
"Bang, look at Dad." Givan took the boy.
"Where, Dad?" Chandra is in serious mode.
"Bring the bike, let's go to the mall where Vano works." Givan tends to whisper.
"Seriously, Dad?" Chandra did not expect, he would be involved in the mission.
"Seriously, I suspect a lot. Fear suudzon, added sin later. Dad go home first, get a bike, a helmet and a jacket. Where's your jacket? Let me get you guys. Permission to Izza and tell the biyung, say there's a sudden job outside, I need your help." Givan patted his son's shoulder and he passed away with quick steps.
"Ready, Dad. My jacket is behind the guest room door." Chandra turned around and approached his wife first.
He saw that his wife was chatting with Jasmine, they just sat down to pay attention to everyone's activities. Izza did not know what would help, because everyone refused his power.
"Sir, I was asked to come with me for a moment. There was a sudden job. Will sleep in this house alone, later together with you huh, brother? Maybe I'm a long time ago." Chandra looked at the two women before him in turn.
Izza wants a romantic evening with her husband back. But, her husband apparently had more important affairs than their first nights.
"Okay, ready." Jasmine smiled broadly.
"Same Sister Jasmine yes, together? I don't know for long, but you know you need to wait for me." Chandra smiled broadly at his wife.
Izza nodded, though he half allowed it. "Yes, Bang. Ati-ati huh?"
"Okay, I'll go to the biyung first." Chandra passed by to her mother.
In Izza's shadow, Chandra is a little romantic like the relationship of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Where her mother-in-law who always held on to her husband, with her husband who often kissed the tip of his wife's head. The little thing that her in-laws did, made her envious because she wasn't like that.
"Where's your dad? Why did you ask permission, Biyung became suspicious." Canda spread her gaze looking for her husband's whereabouts.
"Again the motor, Biyung." Chandra understands that her mother is suspicious of her father.
Not once twice, his mother fussed with his father when his father was about to leave without him. Chandra does not know what history, which makes his mother now want to always kerkori his father.
"Where? Where were you asked to wait? Permission to ask the child?" Canda's getting upset.
"In front of the fence."
Canda immediately stepped forward, leaving his job. She had to make sure if her husband went to work.
