end of academic year and loneliness

It's over. Well at least for this year. So Ar Ir are no longer kindergarten kids. They've done with it. They are now waiting for the time to be an Elementary School students. I have registered them to the same school with Ibit. And Ibit is no longer a 3rd grader. She is now a 4th grader.
Tamat sudah. Paling tidak untuk tahun ini. Ar Ir sekarang bukan anak TK lagi. Mereka sudah puas di sana. Sekarang nunggu saatnya jadi anak SD. Aku sudah mendaftarkan mereka ke sekolah yang sama dengan Ibit. Dan Ibit bukan anak kelas 3 lagi, sekarnag kelas 4.

This is their last performance at their former school.
Ini penampilan terakhir mereka di sekolah mereka yang dulu.



And I took this picture of Ibit, before she go to school to perform in the graduation celebration for 6th grade at her school, singing with her band. The teacher told me she would perform at about 11.30AM. So I and Dan and the twins went from our house at 10.30. But when I got there, she just finished sang her song and was taking a bow.... Forgive me for being late, Bit...
Dan aku ambil gambar Ibit ini, sesaat sebelum berangkat ke sekolah untuk tampil bersama band-nya di acara akhirussanah dan pelepasan lulusan. Kata gurunya, Ibit akan tampil sekitar jam 11.30, jadi aku dan Dan dan kembar berangkat jam 10.30. Ternyata oh ternyata, ketika kami sampai di sana, Ibit baru saja menyelesaikan chorusnya dan sedang membungkuk menghormat..... Maaf Bit, Ibu telat...

NOW.....
SEKARANG......

It was all about two weeks ago. It's been a week since I drop my kids there in my parents house for holiday. I thought it would be fun to be just with Dan at home. It was, for a day and two. But the rest were oh so uncomfortable. I missed them, yes I do. Yesterday when I called them, Ar said, "I miss you, Ibu, I want to kiss you..."
Itu sudah hampir dua minggu yang lalu. Dan ini sudah seminggu sejak aku mengantar anak-anak ke rumah embah mereka buat liburan. Kupikir bakalan asyik berdua Dan aja di rumah. Tadinya iya, satu dua hari. Setelah itu... ga enak. Aku kangen sama anak-anak, banget. Kemaren waktu aku telpon mereka, Ar bilang, "Aku kangen Ibu, aku pengen dicium Ibu..."

Oh boy, how I miss you even more, and I miss kissing the smell of you under arms...
Oh boy, Ibu juga kangen kamu... banget. Dan Ibu kangen cium kelek kecut kalian....
