"Well, how are you still sleeping? Eat it anyway, Yang." Gavin rubbed my temple.
"Any in-state, huh?" I squirm and hug him.
The warmth of this embrace. I felt so alone with him in this bed.
"Night you want to stir-fry half-cooked chickpeas mixed with carrots huh? Now it's okay, instant noodles love chili two, love eggs too." He let me go, then he sat down with his eyes rubbed.
Still in bed, but already talking about food.
"Yes, I wash my face first brush my teeth?" I came out of the blanket.
I actually slept again, after Kirei was transported for sightseeing. I don't understand with bang Givan, his son must have bothered a lot in traveling. But his nephew was also invited. I'm sure it's not just Kirei coming, there must be another niece invited. Not to mention his foster children who certainly join the seat list in his car, the children will continue to be invited once there is empty space in his car.
"Ehh, where's Kirei?" Gavin panicked and immediately threw away his blanket. Yes of course, hers was even clearly emblazoned.
"Walked up the same way as Canda." I lowered one by one my feet on the floor.
"Kok you're not coming?" He's wearing his pants.
How many times a night did we play? Twice! After arguing, he actually made me cry back because of something else. After that, he slept with me. He stopped to go to Givan bang, on the grounds that it was night, sleepy and tired.
"I'm tired, Bang." I went to the bathroom.
Is this the world of the household? I brush my teeth, he poops. I wash my face, he moves to take a shower. Like there are no boundaries, there is no shame and no shyness.
I went straight to the kitchen, after combing. Whether instant noodles have anyone, I immediately made two along with the eggs as well.
"Where are people going?" My husband was handsome, he went into the kitchen with his hair still wet.
"No idea, Bang." I sat next to him, with two instant noodles already in session.
We ate in silence, then he left after he was full. I took a shower, cleaned and ironed.
"Dek, this is Kirei's shopping." Bang Givan gave me a lot of tent.
"Well, can Kirei do some shopping?" I accepted. "Will not have the money?" I looked at the contents of the groceries.
"No, I'm not very poor. Your son was taken by your husband to look at the fields, brother wants nyusulin there." He immediately passed away.
Where are the people going? Is it quiet a house this big? When I got out of the house, it turned out to be the house of the bustling Ghifar bang. From far away, I saw Mamah Dinda and Papah Adi were there. Bang Ghifar's own house that doesn't have a fence, I don't know why. So even from the road, it certainly looks like the house is so crowded on the terrace and yard. Half of the yard was installed mild steel, so there was a shady place even though the sun was hot.
Uh, yes. My husband asked me to cook stir-fry beans and carrots later in the afternoon. I better shop first, maybe there are still leftover beans and carrots in the nearest vegetable shop.
After everything was done, then I moved closer to the crowd of laughter. You see, there is a Ken bang who was chatting with the Canda mbak on the terrace staircase overlooking the side yard.
"Ehh, Deck. Kirei was taken by Gavin" said Canda as he watched me walk up to them all.
I'm nodding. "Yes, Mommy." I chose to turn towards my mother, mamah Dinda and Papah Adi who was being mobbed by her grandchildren.
They laughed loosely, with eyes that depicted cheerfulness and pleasure. So, happiness is simple, right?
"Well, did you eat? Mamah was not yet cooked," asked Mamah Dinda, as I sat nearby.
It doesn't taste good if you cook stir-fry, no friend plate feels so lonely. Eating is also less appetizing, because only one side dish taste.
"In the refrigerator, I don't take it at home" said the mother who might hear my words.
"No idea, Mom. Think I, mumpung vegetable stalls are still open." I took one roll that was proffered by Adi's papah.
So much, it's been mixed with sauce as well. There may be twenty rolled vermicelli, which are moved into the plate. This snack is not only for children, adults are also loved.
"There, he said he wanted to talk." Papah Adi pointed to Canda and Ken who turned their backs on us.
They were at the end of the left terrace, while we were at the end of the right terrace. Teenager responsibility is in the middle, they are playing games on the phone while snacking and there are also those who are taking pictures. While the little grandchildren are at the end of the right porch, with their grandparents. The daughters-in-law were in the living room, with the door of the house wide open. While the children of papah Adi and mamah Dinda are in the terrace yard, chatting and fiddling with the car bang Ghifar, whose hood is wide open.
"What by the way?" I'm picking up a roll again.
"Ihh! A ripple! That's for Grandpa, don't keep asking!!!" Ra's palm immediately floated into my arm.
This kid's a habit!
"Let's go, Deck. There's a lot of it too." Papah Adi pulled Ra's body away from me.
"Children of Ipan, fussy!!!" I put on an ugly face.
"They're the same as Kek Gavin, a little boy at the table."
I laughed, hearing Dinda's words. It's not just Mama Dinda who said that, it seems like me and Gavin have the same habits and a little bit of nature. One of them is interaction with children like this.
"Dek, here first" exclaimed Canda later.
"Wheel! Don't take it again, it's for Grandpa." Ra throws me with his sandals and he cries.
"One, Deck. Oh my, Ra!" I shook my head and passed away, having made her cry with the third roll of vermicelli I took.
"It's the same Papa, Deck." Bang Ghifar waved to Ra.
Maybe he thinks his foster children are noisy with his other brother, not to know his aunt. But really, Ra is an enemy once with me. I don't know what I was wrong with him, he always makes a fuss with me.
Indeed the reference child is the naughtiest, the most bangor. His ears were thick, with sinister veins. There is no sweetness, beauty is missing close to her fierce veins. If I had mocked him like this, he would have gone berserk straight away and chased me away.
"Why, Mommy?" I sat next to him, finishing this roll.
Ma'am Canda is in the middle of us, on his right is me, on his left is Ken's bang.
"Bang Ken said he said. Last night was not possible, because it was not good with Gavin he said." Ma'am Canda whispered to me.
"What by the way?" I was looking for glass mineral water.
There's a box of mineral water near my reach. I pulled it, then took it.
"What are you talking about?" I enjoyed the freshness of this mineral water, by starting to face Ken's blocked bang mbak Canda.
