21. Back To Yogyakarta

One Year Later

"Mbak Atun... Can I get a bottle of milk on my desk?

"Okay, Miss, I'll get it". Walk towards Adelia's room, take the baby's milk bottle and carry it. "Miss Adelia, here's the milk bottle."

"Give it to Nathan Ma'am. I'm washing for a while."

"Ok Miss. Is the boy thirsty?" I opened the milk bottle, and then put it in Nathan's little mouth.

Ceklak…

"It must be Hendra."Adelia rushed from the kitchen to Hendra.

"Here's your baby porridge." Handed over a plastic bag filled with baby porridge.

"Thank you very much Hendra."

"Why not cook it yourself? Just interrupt my morning jog."

"Sorry, Hendra food stock was running out when I was shopping yesterday. I have already done the order and only today can it be picked up."

"Hah how did a daughter-in-law from the Wibisana family run out of groceries? You should shop before the food runs out. You have a lot to learn from Adele."

"Young master, Miss Adelia don't be scolded. For the needs of the Little Master, Miss Adelia does everything herself. She was already trying to be the best mother for the Little Master."

"But he still has to learn a lot of things mbak Atun."

"Hendra, I understand. Things like this won't happen again."

"Let me go to my room first." without touching Nathan at all, Hendra rushed to the room.

Hic... Hic ... Nathan cried as he watched Hendra walk away..

"Young master, Nathan is crying to see you. Maybe he wants to be carried by his Papa"

"Yeah, I'm tired of it. Let Adelia carry him."Hendra continues his steps.

Why such an attitude of the young master to his own son? Is she not ready to have a child? Ah, poor little master, he was ignored by his own papa...

"Don't cry, baby, come with me." Adelia lifted Nathan's little body and carried him.

"I help Miss."

"Well, thank you, ma'am".

"Oh yes, Miss Adelia's grocery orders can already be taken, right? Just let the dog take it."

"Is it not a hassle, Ma'am Atun?"

"Well, certainly not "

"All right, ma'am."

"Attention, the passengers of the Sriwijaya Air plane with flight GA 328 to Yogyakarta are welcome to board the aircraft through door A12".

Hearing the announcer Sultan Hasanuddin Makassar International Airport convey information, Chan immediately prepared himself. He tidied up his bag, and then stepped towards door A12.

"Adelia, wait for me in Yogyakarta, I will meet you". While walking, Chan's mind remained fixed on Adelia even though it had been a year.

"I have to find out Adelia's address after this," Chan began to strategize.

A few minutes later, the plane had taken off perfectly. Chan looked out the window of the plane. The white clouds seemed to be gathering out there. The bright blue sky perfectly adds to the beautiful blend of God's handiwork.

What about the baby Adelia is carrying? I left her pregnant. Of course, the baby has been born now. Oh, my son, I have become a father. A happy knot smile was drawn on the corner of Chan's lips.

After approximately two hours in the air, Chan again set foot on the Land of Yogyakarta. There was a deep longing in Chan's heart. "I'll go home first to rest, after which I'll find out about Adelia today as well," Chan instructed several commands to himself.

Kring...kring....

Chan's phone rang quickly after aeroplane mode was disabled. Chan looked at the phone screen.

[Hello, Good afternoon Mr Toni]

[Oh Chan, I heard you've returned to Yogyakarta]

[Right, sir, I just got to Adisutjipto Airport]

[Thank God, do you need to be invited, Chan? Let me order the faculty driver to pick you up]

(No need, sir, I booked a taxi online and am on my way here.)

[Really? Fine if it's like that. When did we meet Chan?]

Even though this foot has not stepped on the ground perfectly in Yogyakarta, it has been asked when it can meet. Tony was exhausting.

[Em... I think tomorrow, sir, I will come to campus and see you".

[Okay, thank you, Chan, be careful on the road]

Tut...

The call is terminated. Chan put his cell phone in his small sling bag, and then walked to the online taxi that had been ordered.

"In the name of Chan Mahendra? "said an online taxi driver to Chan."

"Yes sir, that's me".

"Need help putting in your bag?"

"Oh no need sir, I can".

A few moments later, the car drove towards Chan's residence. On the way, Chan again flew his reverie. He was having fun imagining how cute the child Adelia was born, and he would call him Dad.

Ah, it must be so much fun being a father. But is it possible that everything can be realized easily? What about Adelia's father?

Pim...pim…

The car stopped suddenly. Chan and the driver bounced forward.

"What happened sir?"

"There was an old mother who crossed carelessly mas, lucky I did not hit him,". As soon as Chan jumped out of the car, he saw an elderly mother dressed in traditional clothes kneeling on the side of the road because she was limp and almost hit.

"Mom, are you okay? Is anyone hurt?".

"No boy, no one was hurt, I was just shocked. I'm not feeling well, my eyes are turning yellow, I'm sorry, grandma." The old woman felt guilty, trying to apologize over and over again.

"No problem Mom, we can understand. You don't have to apologize anymore huh". Smiling kindly, Chan helped the mother get up. "Oh yes, Where Are you going?."

"I just came from the pharmacy to buy medicine, son, I'm going home."

"Well if it's like that, come with me in this car mom, we will take you home. It is not good if you force to walk in less healthy conditions like this."

"Am I not troublesome?."

"No, mom, please."Chan opened the car door for the middle-aged woman and helped her in. Soon the car drove up.

"Oh yes son, excuse me, may I know what your name is?"

"Of course you can, mom. I'm Chan, if the mother's name?"

"I'm Darmi son, just call me mbok Darmi".

"Okay, Darcy. By the way, where do you live?"

"Housing Green Kaira nak."

Green Kaira? Have I heard that name before? Chan spoke up.

"Are you still in college or working?"

"I'm still in college, mum. I just got back from Makassar, there is a campus assignment that I have to follow there."

"I see. My husband's son is also in college. Maybe he's the same age as nak Chan."

"Oh yeah? Where is mbok?"

"Wow, I don't know about the problem, son, Miss Adelia and master never told me about it."

Adelia? Could it be that Adelia is my wife?
