To Have and To Hold

Rencana sukses buat surprise Oma dan Iik .. haha ... Mom is so naughty. Bisa²nya deh. Mereka kaget banget waktu liat mom show up, padahal rencananya baru hari Rabu nongol. Oma ampe nganga ngeliat mom tiba² udah nongol di rumahnya. Iik juga bingung, ketawa² ambil megang mom, bener nggak sih ... bener nggak sih ... gitu terus katanya. LOL

According to plan, baru Rabu mom nyampe .. well at least that's what they thought.

Anton and I picked her up in JFK Airport about 1 PM on Sunday (11/9). Katanya pesawatnya bakal datang earlier, ternyata tetep aja nunggunya lama .... Ada 1.5 jam lebih kita nungguinnya .. nggak nongol². Aku dah capek berdiri nungguinnya ... Aku sempet bet ama Anton kalo dia ngenalin wajah mam nggak .. kukasih waktu 5 sec to do it. Ternyata dia langsung tau ... hehe .. good son in law.

Senengnyaaaa ketemu mom, begitu hug dia, biasa deh langsung mengharu biru gitu ... kalo nggak inget diledekin Anton sebelomnya ... mungkin gue dengan cueknya bakal nangis² di situ ... Dia udah godain ... Pasti kamu bakal nangis entar ketemu mama ... haha .. u'r right hon .. I did.

Malemnya kita berdua ngrumpi habis .. haha .. kesian my hubby, dia kebangun gara² akunya heboh cerita. Pertamanya sih dia nggak mau tidur barengan di kamar, di sofa aja katanya ... mungkin canggung ama mertua. But later on, ternyata dia nggak canggung ama mama ... I know why somehow, .. she's so warm, she makes everyone feel comfortable to her instantly.

Sekarang udah tenang deh ... mom is here ... tadi ke dokter aja, ditemenin dia ..

Amazing to think that distance is sometimes nothing.

It's almost surreal to see her soothing face.
to feel her silky hands.
to joke around and gigling like high school girls.
to hold her when I walk on the street.
to call someone "Mother" not over the phone, but face to face.

Thanks for being here with me mom ..
