Guests Not Invited


"I'm his son. You who?" said someone who claimed to be the son of Grandma Darmi.


Even the person stared intently and was confused by the existence of Nadia and her two children. Alan and Arnold feel bodo very with the presence of a family who claimed his family Grandma Darmi. All this time they were always there for Grandma Darmi so there was no need to bully the person who claimed it.


"I'm his grandson. We are his family who are always dear to grandma even willing to come here early in the morning just to make sure he is okay" said Arnold bravely.


Arnold's words were like a heartbreaking insinuation for people who came also claimed to be Grandma Darmi's family. Actually, Grandma Darmi was surprised to hear someone claiming to be her child when the face of the person in front of her was very different from her family. But Grandma Darmi thinks most likely the face of her child has indeed changed a lot over time. Especially when he left, his son was still very young.


"Benal, wish for guests. Alan lapol polici talo guests want my grandmother" said Alan added Arnold's remarks.


"Mom, I'm your son. This is Febri, ma'am" said a man who claimed to be Grandma Darmi's son named Febri.


Unwilling to respond to the words of the two little boys who were now staring intently at the four people in front of him, Febri instead thought how to convince his mother. It is true if the coming is Febri with his wife and children. They deliberately returned to his mother's village because they wanted to make up for all the guilt so far as to abandon Grandma Darmi.


Without them knowing, Nadia contacted Papa Reza who knew the ins and outs of even the real face of the child of Grandma Darmi. If Grandma Darmi might forget the similarities of her son, maybe Papa Reza can make sure everything. Nadia did not want if later the person who claimed to be Grandma Darmi's child even wanted to take advantage of the old woman.


Grandma Darmi looks confused and even continues to look at Nadia. He was a little afraid if the people in front of him only claimed to be his son. It has been almost 30 years they did not meet which of course there will be a lot of changes, especially his face so that Grandma Darmi herself can not recognize him. Although there is a little resemblance, but Granny Darmi can not make it as a benchmark.


"We wait for someone who can make sure you're Grandma Darmi's son or not. I also ask for your identity to be shown if it is true his family" Nadia said firmly.


They swiftly obeyed the orders from Nadia then issued some documents about the identity of everything. They also showed her their marriage certificate. Photographs of Grandma Darmi and Febri together as a child were also there.


Grandma Darmi who saw it like there was a sense of tightness in her chest. He held back his tears because he did not expect his decades-old son did not set foot in the house and in front of him was now in front of him. There is a longing that he wants to put in an embrace but in fact he has to endure it. However, there was disappointment in his heart in his son who had rejected him.


"Let me get you a drink first. Talk and try to convince Grandma Darmi that you are his family" said Nadia responded to all this wisely.


"Ndak ucah tacih inum cih. Meleta is an unwelcome guest" said Alan cynically.


"Yes right, mother. Guests are not invited it is not mandatory to be treated to drink especially those who like to abandon their parents" said Arnold.


Nadia stays inside Grandma Darmi's house to make drinks for Febri and his family. Grandma Darmi also let him anyway all this time Nadia was used to go in and out of her house. Before long they sit in silence because Alan and Arnold prefer to be busy with their snacks.

Papa Reza got out of his car in a hurry even he immediately ran towards the terrace of Grandma Darmi's house. When we got there, everyone was sitting in a very quiet atmosphere. Papa Reza looked at the four people who might be strangers in his eyes except for a grown man who was now looking at him in surprise.


"Om Reza." said Febri with a little surprise.


Even now Febri immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to shake it. Papa Reza flinched even his gaze sharpened when what he had thought now was indeed true. He could not believe that the long-lost man was now back right in front of him.


"Why are you here again? Want to hurt my mom?" asked Papa Reza with his flat face.


Febri immediately lowered his hand which was not welcomed by Papa Reza. From a long time ago Papa Reza even considered him as a sister even though his age with him was far adrift. But Papa Reza may now be disappointed because of his behavior that abandoned the mother.


"Sorry, forgive Febri. Febri regretted, now I want to devote my life to mother again. Love me the opportunity to take care of my own mother" Febri said, then kneeled before Papa Reza.


Everyone there stared in disbelief at what Febri had done. Especially Grandma Darmi whose eyes are now glazed over does not expect if her child is here. Now Nadia is sure if indeed the people who came this is indeed the family of Grandma Darmi. Nadia saw her two children who were so angered with snacks on her lap while looking at the scene in front of them.


"Let's go in, it's adult business. You can't see" Nadia whispered to her two children.


Both of his children shook their heads unwillingly. Both of them now even rise from their seats and then approach Papa Reza and Febri. Even Febri was seen crying while kneeling before Papa Reza who had been considered as the brother.


"Kneelbelt cama manucia, blo. Kneel on the hook" Alan said, patting Febri on the back.


"I apologize to God and your mother not my grandfather. Your fault is only in them, if grandfather mah is only as a protector of grandmothers" Arnold said chiming in his sister's words.


Nadia could only pat her forehead slowly seeing the behavior of her two children who advised Febri. While Papa Reza is so proud of his two grandchildren who are really wise also mature in giving messages. Meanwhile, Febri had been embarrassed by the maturity of two small children who he did not even know who.
