"Sir, how did it happen?" I approached my brother who used to have a lot of information.
"No idea, Deck. Mamah people come, tell us to finish Cali's stuff. Ma'am thinks he wants you to take him, or you take him on vacation. Ma'am said, take Cali's nanny, she wants her nanny. Uh, mamah be quiet. The veins of anger are like that, yes Ma'am, rather than getting scolded."
How are the facts in his house so different from the drama outside the house?
"Seriously, Mother? Didn't tell you to play a kidnapping drama?" My thoughts are that bad on Riyana's family.
Yes how? I, Gavin and Mamah Dinda know what Ajeng really means. But, mamah Dinda as if making Ajeng really a kidnapping suspect here. It's not right either.
"Gee! Where does anyone say that. People come from the side door, and Mbak again on the terrace is told to go in to settle Cali's stuff." Mbak Canda who even looks surprised to see my statement.
"Where am I, Canda?" Bang Givan approached his wife, after giving orders to his children to prepare for prayer and teaching.
He is like a pesantren manager, who sends his students out in a loud voice. Already the man is disciplined, his mouth firmly military style again.
"Am I telling you?" Canda even asked.
"Well, Cendol! Ish, I want this warm-warm, I keep telling you to make boiled noodles." Bang Givan passed us first.
"When is he coming home? The feeling, just now wander on." I walked in following Canda.
"Either, there are everywhere one person also." Little Canda left me.
It's so fussy for Kirei. Madam Canda is busy too, so I chose to take Kirei for a walk around here. Of course, I play to my mom too. Mother told me a lot, one of them was about her father Kirei.
"Well, is Ken bang that?" I don't believe a little mother's words.
"Yes, Nduk. Call Mom, she said she wanted to take Kirei with Ria again."
If so, it's a little crazy too. It is only fitting that the power chooses to take Riska, so as not to be hurt again by Ken bang.
"And I have a husband, Mom." I was swinging Kirei's body in front of the shophouse.
He was sleepy, but a lot of behavior. Maybe it's cranky because of this flux.
"Well, if your husband is not your son, Mama Dinda said he would be disturbed. Laughing and saying it."
I'm hearing more and more of my mother's story. Is that so bang Ken?
"What else does he say, Mom?" I was still listening by swinging Kirei's body.
He was buzzing since earlier, Kirei was still the same feeling as the condition of his body.
"Yes, said my sincere mother, Ken. The important thing is that Kirei is in the hands of the right man. This part is Gavin loh, not just any man who does not know how his nature. Mom said that was it to him? He laughed faintly, saying he would take it back if Gavin macem-macem."
I sat down next to mother slowly, so that the sleeping Kirei would not wake up again. This is how it feels if the middle child has a severe flu.
"He's a handsome guy, you were drunk yesterday. Same Gavin anyway, it's obviously handsome him. She's a widower now, so it's not impossible for you to get drunk again.
I was shocked to hear Mom's words. For a long time everyone will be the same as Mama Dinda.
"Gavin is calm, good to joke with, good to stay up late, good to wake up during the day." He's like a friend.
Yes, he is my life friend.
"Sama-sama is males." Mother glanced at me with a small chuckle. "Indeed Ken's not calm? Looks calm too, even Gavin's chimney right? Gavin secretly too, his eyes were glimpsing when a beautiful woman passed by. Once I met her, she was calling women through the patrol station. Deck, hi deck, where to go pretty. That's it, the same thing. Yes, it was just a mouth prank, but he was immediately embarrassed he was aware there was a new mother coming out of the mosque."
Incidentally, the mosque is next to the patrol post.
"Yes yes, Mom? Bang Ken didn't do it, probably because Gavin was young too. I often see his eyes everywhere, but just ajalah while not daring to play fire. Just bang Ken this nothing should be direct, bath cake, prayer, should be quick I follow. Gavin would start one or two minutes no problem, instead he sometimes repeat the order again. Bang Ken is furious, Mom. Where the anger is scary again. She doesn't pray, she doesn't shower fast, but she says okay. Cannot reflect, educate. The name educates tuh not only tell, but invite and remind as well. It's not that Gavin's my husband now, so I took him. There's a plus minus to every guy I said anyway, Mom." I fanned Kirei's face with my hands.
"Yes too, it makes a difference to your father's father and your father. Hence, I have no intention of getting married again. Cake's tired of it's the same guy, all sweet in the beginning."
You say that mom loves my dad very much?
"How are they, Mom?" tanyaku later.
"His father did not pay your attention, so much attention to memorize the price of cooking oil at that time. Geez, this it's it's all count. Where do not date again, Mother until ever attempted suicide because of it. If your father, cute but secretly attentive. Money is not stingy, but guarantee his parents equal love money for the needs of our lives three. Sometimes you think, not all women are willing to support other women. Why question? You see, sometimes we are willing to lose money, for the love of his mother's monthly guarantee. That's why the working mom keeps costs up too, for your needs too. He never loved you, his focus was on the parents. But what about being a widow again, right? Eh no idea, even made a widow the same Power." Mom put her shoulder out.
Apparently, not all households have a sweet story.
"Why did you kill yourself?" I wonder about that story.
"Nyemplung to the well, you know the well? For water storage. Ehh, no idea the well is receding, so even embarrassed many people gotong royong help Mother go up. Yeah, I'm the reason that Mom slipped and fell." Mom laughed to herself.
I must have been so embarrassed back then, I can imagine how mom felt.
"How else, ma'am?" I listened by watching Kirei's sleeping face.
"Udah, that's it. Light hands too, likes to hit. But it's handsome, santri she used to be."
Huh huh? I'm shocked here. Santri but his behavior is like that.
"Pantes is Canda pretty? His father turned out to be handsome." I was bearded a few times.
"Yes, it could be because of that. But short unfortunately, where Mom is also short. So then you're the duck cake that's his body." Mother teased her own child and chuckled amusedly by herself.
I thought about Flowers. Does he feel like he's not joking with his mom like this? At the funeral, I didn't see him. To me pretty close, but blocked this and that. At her birth mother she was so close as well, but was hindered by circumstances so difficult to pin down.
Ehh, how are baby bang Ken and sister Riska? Is he safe? Where is the baby.
