The reopening of the cafe with a new concept has been done. Even the odd semester has begun. Dita finally obeyed Rendra only took 20 SKS, as well as Bella who did not so take 24 SKS because she now works part time in Rendra's cafe. Bella's working hours adjusted her college schedule, which was obviously working for 4 hours a day, six days a week. He prefers to work in the afternoon after college, as cafes are usually very crowded after work hours until around 09:00 p.m.
Rendra has also registered for KKN and takes care of the cover letters for PKL (Field Work Practice). Because after KKN he will directly PKL at Adi's workplace. Rendra can only meet Dita at home and on weekends, because on campus they are busy with their respective activities.
Rendra met several times with his KKN group friends to discuss their work program during KKN. KKN Rendra group consists of 8 people including himself. They all come from different schools. It just so happened that Rendra was appointed as the group's chairman, with the deputy of Shahdan, the treasurer of Ainun, the secretary of Luna, while the other members were Rafi, Widya, Ria and Nurul. They will be placed in one of the villages that are still located in the Special Region of Yogyakarta.
Rendra did not forget to introduce Dita with all members of his KKN group so that they know each other and there will be no misunderstanding later. However, they will meet and live together every day at the KKN location for about 1.5 months. In accordance with the provisions of the campus, students who do KKN must live on site during the KKN period. Rendra also told his group friends that he would not piggyback on girls even if they were group mates.
Before Rendra was parachuted to the KKN location, he and Dita held a four-monthly review of Dita's pregnancy at the Mother Dewi's house. They invited family, close friends and members of the KKN group, mosque study congregations, worshipers of the Mother Goddess and also supported orphans.
The study event was filled with reading the Quranโan, listening to tausiah from ustaz about adab educating children according to Islamic teachings. In addition, they pray for the fetus to be a godly child, and pray that the pregnancy is launched until delivery later. After the event they also distributed food parcels to neighbors around.
In the early days of KKN, Rendra and Dita had difficulty sleeping because they used to sleep hugging each other. So every night before bed they always make a video call until one of them falls asleep, but usually Dita who sleeps first because of the effects of pregnancy. Every morning after dawn they also make a video call. Rendra taught, then Dita mengloud speaker gawai and placed near the stomach so that their future children can still hear the father teach for him. Fortunately, the location of KKN Rendra is not in remote areas where there is no internet network, so they can still communicate smoothly even though the time is limited.
During the KKN period, Dita stayed back with Adi, just in case Dita wanted to eat something at night or something happened, she would not hesitate to say it to Adi. During the day usually Dita at the house of Mother Dewi or sometimes in a cafe to see the development of sales directly. Although there is already an admin section and can check sales online, but he is more satisfied when coming to the cafe. At once he also wanted to see the performance of some new employees. Sometimes he also discussed with the baker about the current menu that they might be able to sell.
Rendra can leave the KKN location if there is a schedule of lectures or urgent interests. When he was on campus, Rendra always tried to take time to meet with Dita even though it was only a moment. They will just talk or have lunch together. Although for a moment, they could at least meet each other and reduce the longing.
One day Rendra asked for permission to go home the night after the activity was completed on the grounds that he had to go to college in the morning and would be in a hurry if he had to leave from the KKN location. It was true that he had to go to college in the morning, but the real reason was because he could not resist longing for his wife.
Rendra did not tell Dita that he was going home because it was sudden and he wanted to surprise his wife. Dita woke up when she felt a soft elusan in her stomach. She fell asleep while waiting for a video call from Rendra, apparently her husband went home. Of course he is happy because he can sleep with Rendra. Finally that night they missed each other.
Rendra activities during KKN teach small children or parents who want to learn to read the Qur'an every day after Magrib to Isya. He also teaches karate to children or teenagers who want to learn martial arts every Sunday morning. In addition, it also follows the activities of residents there such as filial work, studies, RT meetings, RW meetings and various other activities. Sometimes there are also residents who consult with him because they will build or renovate the house. And of course he also did their group work program.
Rendra became the target of several girls and parents who wanted to make him their son-in-law because of his kind, friendly, polite and diligent attitude to the mosque. Every time a girl tries to get close to him he will explain that he already has a wife and will soon become a father. If they do not believe he will show the wedding photos and also the results of Dita's ultrasound. Similarly, if there are parents who want to propose to him as a daughter-in-law, he will explain the same thing.
Without feeling 1.5 months passed, the arrival when Rendra was pulled from the location of KKN. Which means he can get together again with his wife and prospective children. Can accompany Dita to the obstetrician again. She had not participated in the schedule to check Dita's pregnancy because it was bumped by the schedule of KKN activities, so Dita went with her mother. Although sad, but he must continue to carry out his activities and responsibilities as group leader.
Completed KKN does not mean he is free, he still has to make a KKN report with his group mates. It is also possible that he must come back to the KKN location to complete the report while simultaneously having contact with the residents and their devices.
After the KKN withdrawal event was over, Rendra returned home with a beaming face. He knew his wife was home and waiting for her return. Dita also promised to cook her favorite food. Just imagining it makes him happy.
"Assalamu'alaikum" said his greeting as he entered the house but no one answered. He found his wife was busy cooking in the kitchen because he did not hear her greetings.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Angel of Surgaku. Seriously cook it until I say hello do not hear."
Dita tiptoed as Rendra hugged her, but then smiled because her heart had already come.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mas Rendra Darling."
He washed his hands and then turned his back. He hugged Rendra tightly. "I miss, Mom."
Rendra peaked at the top of Dita's head. "I miss you and baby, too."
Rendra broke her embrace and then lowered her head. He kissed and stroked Dita's swollen belly. "Baby, dad's home. I miss you so much."
"Mas, he's moving. He's happy his dad's home." Dita shifted Rendra's hand to feel the movement in her stomach
"God willing, father's son happy yes. From today on I will be at home continue to accompany you and also mother." Rendra spoke to his son-in-law again.
"Udah used to miss her. Mas, clean up first then change clothes, we eat."
"Ready, Honey. But, give me a kiss first."
Dita on her tiptoes and then briefly kissed her husband's lips, but Rendra did not want to take it off. Finally they kissed intensely in the kitchen. Fortunately, the house was quiet so no one would bother them.
They just stopped the kiss after both out of breath. Rendra then kissed Dita's forehead.
"We continue this later" he said, winking one eye. Rendra left Dita, took her luggage and went into the room.
Dita did not reply to Rendra's words, only showing a shy smile. He then continued his activities cooking Rendra's favorite food.
