TRIPLE R
9. Returnees
It has been almost a month Adrian in the hospital, and during that time also Nata always came to accompany him, of course after he taught, or if he was on campus business, he said, Nata will come in the afternoon until the night he just returned home, they also become more familiar, Adrian almost never ask about Nara again.
Nata had left for school by driving his father's car, the atmosphere of the shop looks lonely because it has entered working hours where people must have arrived at work, usually if the morning will be a lot of people who buy food, cake or coffee for breakfast in papa Rey shop.
A beautiful girl got off the taxi walking into the tavern while dragging her suitcase and the bag on her back. The girl misses this place so much, where she and her family lived and grew up, she is Reynara.
"Pa, ma, Nara's coming home.
Hearing such a familiar voice and their longing, the two middle-aged people immediately came out of the kitchen, and how surprised he was when he saw the figure who was currently walking quickly towards him.
"Ma, pa", Nara immediately hugged her mother tightly, and her father also hugged her daughter and wife, and the three of them cried, until some time the three of them still did not release their wounds. Such a warm embrace and calm their hearts. Papa Rey kissed, rubbed her daughter's hair many times, shedding all the longing and worry that had been buried all this time.
After a long while, the two middle-aged people removed their wounds, Rey's mama framed Nara's pretty face.
"Are you really my daughter Nara" said mama Rey trembling through her daughter's face afraid her daughter was hurt.
"Yes son, is anyone hurt" said papa Rey
"Pa ma, I'm not going to war" he said, wiping away his tears
Moments later, Rey's mom beat up her daughter's arm, "you're so fucking Nara, why you haven't heard in months, you can't sleep thinking about you" she said
"Ma don't beat him, your daughter can be in pain" said papa Rey hugging his wife tightly from behind so as not to beat her daughter.
Nara hugged her mama tightly, the middle-aged woman could not help the outpouring of emotions in her heart.
"Sorry ma, pa, Nara made mommy equally worried" he said, the child and mother crying as they pleased.
"Already ma, do not scold him, angry papa who has given permission Nara to go there" said papa Rey. He felt guilty all this time to his three daughters, because since childhood he had abandoned him, working far away to become a chef on a cruise ship, he said, nara's daughter hardly ever complained as a child even when she was sick she didn't want to complain. The man always remembered the words that his daughter Nara had said.
"Nara doesn't want papa to keep making money, Nara wants papa here with us and mama, Nara won't ask for anything, Nara will be a good boy, Nara will not be naughty, Nara will not be bad, Nara will study diligently, Nara please do not go pa", and many more words that continue to be excited in the minds of papa and mama Rey until now, and so on, the words were spoken by Nara with a bitter cry every time papa Rey bailed to go sailing.
It is not easy to raise three twins, so great needs, make papa Rey willing to go far to leave her children, just want to live well, he said, that is the reason Nara studied so hard to take a superior class test in order to immediately finish school and receive an invitation to study abroad that provides free education fees, in order to lighten the burden of his father who had to send the three together, but Nara's cleverness actually made him have to live far from his family at the age of 13 years, who still stepped on, that also makes the reason his three daughters call both parents Raka as mama and papa, because when he was a child his three daughters like losing a father figure. So often think of Papa Raka as his father too, and Raka did not mind he was even so happy, feeling having a brother because Raka was an only child.
"Papa closes the shop door first" makes Nara and her mother break each other's arms.
"Why pa, it's still daytime, Nara can help" he said
"Today's shop is closed, papa kangen is with you, today papa will masakin special for you" he said so excitedly, passed closing the shop door.
"Let's take a day off first, you're also tired, tomorrow-tomorrow open again" said mama Rey who had begun to calm down and can smile.
Nara could only say the girl took off her backpack and sat down on the chair with her mother.
"What do you want to eat, dear???, asked papa Rey
Nara smiled at her mother who kept holding her hands, as if she did not want to part.
"Nata still teaches ma???, he said as he gently stroked his mother's hand.
"Yes, Nata still teaches in kindergarten school, and Hana she rarely goes home, at least once a month she comes home for a while" she complained.
"If Raka, does she also visit here often????
"A month ago he came with Hana, he said he had just moved here, after that he was not here anymore, it seems like he was busy too".
"Ma, let Nara take a bath first, Nara is angry, later we talk again", he said gently, he knew his mother still wanted to let go of longing.
"Dear go, mama help papa cook first".
Nara moved from her seat, "Pa, Nara up first yes".
"Yes son, take a shower to let it fresh and tired of being lost".
Nara immediately went up to the second floor, she looked at every corner of the room that had not changed, she went into her room that she had occupied with her two twin sisters since they moved and lived in a tavern, she said, sitting on his bed for a while took a deep breath, he was so homesick about the atmosphere of his room and certainly missed his two twin brothers. "This place is still as it used to be, nothing has changed", Nara saw a photo of her childhood with her twin brothers and her childhood friend Raka, she smiled considering her childhood together. Then he rushed to the bathroom.
Nara flushed her body with a shower that felt so fresh wet her body, during her stay in Gaza often Nara had to bathe once a day, because of lack of water, because of the lack of water, not to mention in winter abroad he had to endure the cold himself. Nara felt so much enjoying her bath that the knock on the door surprised her.
"Darling, long time to take a shower, the food is ready, it will be cold".call mama
"Yes, Nara is coming out soon". Nara immediately wrapped her body in a towel and came out of the bathroom, and it turned out that Rey's mother was still there to get her daughter's clothes.
"This is mama ready to dress for you" said mama Rey
"Thank you ma".
"Here, mama wants to check your body, there are injured no" he said.
"Mama's too much, Nara's not okay ma".
"Still mama worried", the middle-aged woman examined the body of her daughter who was only wrapped in a towel, Nara felt embarrassed already this big must be examined by her mother.
"Yes, he's got your clothes on and he's coming down to eat, Papa's waiting for you".
"Yes ma, Nara's coming down".
Papa Rey waited for her daughter who ate so voraciously, while mama Rey brushed her daughter's hair slowly, no one spoke, letting her daughter eat in peace.
