Father Came home

Madame Yem call tonight, "This afternoon, my father had a heart attack again, now hospitalized. Nana, you'd better go home, look at your father. ""I still have a job tomorrow, why not just Yu Ning?""Your brother say, Naya (his son) a month will take the exam junior. So, he will send you money to get home to see your father. ""What about the pain, what is severe enough?""Brother Nana, ask your doctor about it Hariadi."When a call from Madame Yem closed, the phone rang from the Yu Ning, "I've sent money for a plane ticket to your account. Check it first. Tell Dad, I'll come after Naya finished the exam. ""Brother, I have a presentation tomorrow, why not your alone?""I told you I had to wait Naya. My boutique tomorrow will be visited by our customers from Malaysia. Now, look for tickets for departure, tomorrow morning. "I hate to hear the speech of Yu Ning, he always could tell me anything. That was done since we were little. (Mother died since we are still very small). Yu Ning, a distance of age 10 years ahead of me, given discretion by the father, to set all my life. If according to Yu Ning I should be so, I should not be denied. Yu Ning so my sources. Only aided by Madame Yem, he governs all the affairs of our household. I always hate to whatever he had. Which I'm proud of, just more of it my body height. Only it did! On the other hand, I'm now just a lecturer at a private college that is not seeded. So did my husband, Haryo, peers at private colleges.It is conceivable, we do not have the privilege in a metropolis, Jakarta. Once upon a time, Yu Ning's family took us to Singapore. But, I'm not comfortable. Because they think, hard to travel with village women, who do not know how to be in a metropolis, Singapore.Really, I've always felt, much loved father Yu Ning, although my father always said, "You two are a priceless treasure to me. I pity this brother, since childhood must act as our mother. "I once again hate the word father. I think both Yu Ning and I, have the same opportunity, to learn, play, and even more I think Yu Ning had a chance for a walk with his girlfriend. As for me, they were considered too young to understand, who the man is wolf in sheep.Being able berlena Ning Yu-lena with her boyfriend late into the night. Often I feel Upik Abu, who cared for a stepmother. But, everything did go as they planned. After graduating from the engineering faculty of architecture, Yu Ning is married to Dr. Tomo. After several years working in foreign firms, Yu Ning opens boutique decent behavior. I did so people are just mediocre. Because it is me and Haryo, have no business skills. In fact, Yu Ning Haryo had suggested, to do business. It was once we did, let alone a large, capital loaned Yu Ning, could not return. Until now, I still owed several million to Yu Ning. Fortunately the second year of marriage, we have not been blessed with children. If we had kids, we will be more troublesome. Since the Ning Yu says, to have children should have the money for the baby sitter many millions of smart, milk, and others. I was not able to finance all of it. However, Haryo said, "We do not need to worry, every child has his own sustenance. Should not we now just consult a doctor for a baby, we dream together .... "I'm always nervous to go to an obstetrician.Suddenly there was another call from Madame Yem. "Nana, my heart really bad, if you can come home tomorrow? Although, your father was the third time this year, entered the hospital. "Yem Mak's tone, it seems, I was a child who can not serve. Well, until this hour I have not also looking for a plane ticket. In fact, the travel must have been close at nine tonight. As I suspected, for the morning flight is over all. That exist from one travel agency, airline tickets for most of the night. I have to consider as soon as possible, because there are many enthusiasts to return to Malaysia, do not pass through the area of ​​Sidoarjo, Lapindo was full of mud. I have no other choice. I just SMS Yu Ning, I say, can only aircraft with airline tickets last. Yu Ning immediately called me, "I told you, why not contact the travel agency langgananku, surely you get the tickets. I'm worried about Dad. Anyway, I've ATM transfer to you again, Dad money for medical expenses. Try to contact the travel agency langgananku it again. Says the message of this ticket Ning Tomo mother. "By lazy I called the travel agency customers Yu Ning. Somehow I was not disappointed. Because who lived just one night flight tickets. That, too, with a very expensive price. Once again I message Yu Ning, he did not answer. Certainly he was very angry. When I see my father, he would say, "Nana is slow in everything. And what the heck it works. Cook just spent time teaching. At most, only two hours a day. "Ticket affair is finished. I tried to contact the department head. He advocated for not too long to take leave, because there will be a change of president in recent weeks. After arranging my stuff in the trunk, I tried to sleep. Haryo, was sleeping next to me a few hours ago. Suddenly I felt angry, it seems no one wants to help me at this time. It's almost one o'clock at night, scared to attack me, I want to call home, but, I made sure Madame Yem was waiting for him at the hospital. Suddenly, I felt guilty, this is a selfishness. Me and Yu Ning pursue a career and always remember if you still have a father who should we pay attention. Always forget to call him just to say, "Hello". In fact, before my departure to Jakarta, Dad said, "You two chose a career in Jakarta. No one really wants to be with old men like me. I know no one to blame, every child must seek a new nest. But, every now and then call me. That was more than enough. "At that time, I cried. But, then my busyness, kesibukanku gather with friends, the streets, and many other things that make me almost no time to say, "Hello", the Father. It can be done by Yu Ning against father. I do not know, Ning Yu seems to have more time than 24 hours. Yu Ning and often reminds me to call my father. I'm always lazy to argue. So, I told her I had called my father. Because I was so sure, if you ask your father, he would have said yes I said anything. Sometimes it is father to protect me from greatness Yu Ning. Could be, he was sorry for the youngest, who met with her mother only in the first year of his life. And about my mother, I never listen to the story of the father. Madame Yem who often told, that since childhood she was frequently ill. My father loved him very much, more, more like my mother than I am Yu Ning. As a kid, if I'm sad, often for no apparent reason, my mother crying in front of photos. I feel if he was alive, we can become good friends. How is my relationship with my father? He is professor of history, smart, just like Yu Ning. Yu Ning, taking everything from the Father, without rest.I had to go home tomorrow. Not for myself, but also for a family of social obligation, which I know not too like. I always feel sad, when my father was hospitalized. I feel guilty. Often I cry for all my mistakes were. I always tell Haryo, "How do I become a good boy for a father?" Haryo always said, "We do not know exactly, you yourself have said that if not so close to him. Perhaps this is best, keeping him in the hospital and to obey all his will. "I nodded my head. When it hurts, my father was not an easy one, cerewetnya incredible! But strangely, when Yu Ning who cared for him, Dad could be a sweet kid and never angry. Many times he would say either the nurse or doctor, "My son businesswoman, but still have time for me." And for me, those words were never called, he said. Although, I've tried to be a good boy in front of him. Perhaps, he thought I was anyway half the unemployed who do not have a lot of work. Spend more time with useless talk. Of course I do not like those words. Sometimes, I feel very discouraged by it. Hurt somewhere.I should think clearly, I do not have to feel so. They still will not mean evil, are not they both close family, father and Ning Yu. Every so often I thought about it even, I once asked a psychologist with a friend. But, the answer does not provide a satisfactory solution. I still feel that I and Yu Ning will always be different principle. Actually, I just felt sorry for him, if I do not hospitalized, I do not want to go home. Is this a selfish, when I feel more comfortable not with them. But with my job, with Haryo, with friends who according to Yu Ning does not produce anything, except spend time. And who knows, father of retired professors, living expenses are borne by Yu Ning. Although, I also like to buy my father a beautiful shirt and biography books he liked, or much longer talk about the books on the phone. That, I bought more books, because it seemed Yu Ning does not feel the need to read biographies. While a retired professor of history, still likes to read these things, which, according to Yu Ning, had nothing to do with the dynamics of business today.Well indeed, though we were both in Jakarta, we rarely meet. Occasionally, Yu Ning took me to the restaurant. However, I always feel uncomfortable, but since childhood I could not resist. Haryo who gladly accepted the invitation Yu Ning. He could serve waffle Yu Ning which according to my feelings very arrogant (he always tells his success). It has been often told Haryo, but Haryo lightly replied, "You really, do not have a sense of humor, if you have, the stories certainly Yu Ning, funny."I definitely do not agree with his words. Could be, I'm more able to talk with Mas Tomo's brother-in-law is silent.However, how annoyed I am, sometimes miss also to Yu Ning. Often I remember how he cared for me when I got typhoid patient, put me into an expensive hospital in the city. And said Mas Tomo, "Yu Ning panic when you're sick."Sometimes, I also complained about Ning Yu pride on my father, he says, "You must know, as a professor of history, I would never teach my children, with smugness. If Yu Ning to be so, because I gave him the responsibility which is very unusual, for a little girl. Would it be, he is a bit superior. "Indeed, I and Yu Ning is more like my father moved to Jakarta. But, he's just like three days in my house. And, three days at home Yu Ning, which is actually full of amenities. My father always missed its plants, her tennis teammates, and he said, "The home is my palace."I often think, if he does not feel at home because my house was just BTN far from downtown. For this, my father strongly denied, he said, "If you're as old as me, only you can feel how unpleasant stay at the homes of others, even though that house, and my son. I also do not feel at home Yu Ning, who fancy that! But, I wondered, I feel more comfortable if you stay at my sisters house. "Suddenly, I felt guilty. Father alone for illness. Supposedly, I and Yu Ning is at his side at this time. I like the prodigal son, and I cried hard. Haryo woke up, "We are not Malin Kundang, Dad would know if you and Yu Ning, as well as possible the child, then go home and take care of him, though you often say, Father, if sick, cerewetnya extraordinary."It's almost dawn, tomorrow night I should meet my father. When I was standing in front of his bed, my father whispered, "Nana, I'm glad you could come home."He seemed pleased when I came home not with Yu Ning (favorite child). I felt the incongruity that. I called, Yu Ning!The next day, we were standing in front of him. He opened his eyes slowly, "You come together? I love it when you two can come together always. "Father, smiling.Three days after that, my father left us alone!
