“Abang kangen.“ I immediately embraced the role model who gave me many life lessons.
“Hmm, Healthy, Beautiful.“ Bang Givan rubbed my back, then let go.
He never hugged me for long. Maybe, because he felt my front part. Or, because of something else.
“Abang kangen.“ Alfonso instead followed a sudden embrace of bang Givan who had just let me go.
I immediately pulled his hand, which had just hugged Givan's bang. Well, I'm so embarrassed to have brought him and made him a proper driver.
“Why? Isn't that how you say hello?“ His face looks so innocent.
“Not. Ria says, she misses me. I'm his brother-in-law.“ Bang Givan moved his hand as well as a gesture.
I thought, if Indonesians are used to moving their hands to clarify their vocabulary.
The above dialogue, Alfonso said that 'why, isn't that how you do it?' bang Givan replied, No. Said Ria, she missed me. I'm his brother-in-law.' Like that's what bang Givan said.
“Oh, hi. Ria's brother-in-law.“ Alfonso waved his hand at Givan bang.
I chuckled at Alfonso's greeting. Bang Givan chuckled slightly, holding back his laughter.
“Hi Ria's friend too. You may rest, I will show you a room for your rest.“ Bang Givan took Alfonso in, then bang Givan showed him one of the rooms and drove Alfonso there.
That is, hi also buddy Ria. You can rest, I'll show you a room to rest you.
I'm proud of Givan's English skills. He did not go to college in the language field.
Basic, the front tooth youth broke next door. It looks funny, but the tooth could have been broken in an accident. He hit the motor that was driving, but he was on foot. I don't know, I'm kind of confused to hear him tell a story in mixed language.
I don't know if there's any conversation, 'cause I'm still standing in the doorway of this house. I was already greeting Gavin in front, he was taking the private driver who drove me here for a break too.
This house is the old house of Dinda. It's just, there's a lot of change here. Including, the former employer's mother's son's home as well. Because now, the house became quite a tall building, with a high front fence as well. Probably, a lot of improvement during this time.
“Sini, Deck.“ After emerging from a room, bang Givan waved his hand.
I looked around, until I finally entered the house that looked so sturdy. Many of the houses belonging to the Mama Dinda are scattered in several places, but not infrequently also uninhabited. Only occasionally they visit, with reasons to be used as a place of recreation only.
It's like one of those grand houses in Cirebon. The house is a replacement of the house that was made TKP act asusila bang Givan on mbak Canda, yes their love history did start from a bad story.
The house I had visited, when I picked up Flowers in Cirebon. The house was quite managed, because abi Haris sent his housekeeper and gardener to clean the house of mama Dinda every month. Although empty for long, but managed and maintained.
“Friends you're hilarious. You marry her, you are guaranteed to stay young.“ Bang Givan chuckled, embracing me taking me to the kitchen.
“I've been prank on him. I said, I like you, you like me not. He said, no, you're ugly, your face is oval, you look more like an egg shell. Want to cry I ngakak not already.“ I'm telling you about my solace here.
If it's Hana, she's more like an old loading. He could even laugh at himself, having remembered the funny story he had just understood. That too, is enough to invite my humor.
“But unexpectedly, Bang. His father is a military man here, his mother is an ordinary housewife. But Alfonso is not interested in the military, his parents still support his interest.“ I told you a little about my friend.
“His parents think widely. Children instead supported it can be successful, which is forced in other fields even difficult to succeed or even fail.“ Bang Givan took me to the kitchen.
“Abang to buy finished food. Brother take you to your friend's room first huh? You eat first. According to Abang, this food is the most friendly in the mouth of Abang.“
I am a mangosteen, by paying attention to the type of food that is in the dining table. This food, too, I eat often.
“OK, Bang.“ I walked towards the sink first.
While bang Givan went back, with food and a bottle of mineral water. I don't know how many days it's been, bang Givan is here. Judging from the trash, it is quite filled with food wrapping garbage.
Bang Givan's back, he's calling someone on his phone. Then he pointed his camera at me.
“Woman who is it?“
Uh, the voice is more that mbak Canda.
“Gendik Bang Givan,” I replied with a laugh.
“What?!“ Either he was shocked, or he was hearing less.
“I Ria, Mbak.“ I walked towards bang Givan's phone. I took over the phone, and we sat in front of the table.
“Ohh, are you going to Brother?“ tanyanya.
“He'em.“ I glanced at bang Givan. “Mbak, sayin bang Givan tell me to add my snack rations. Five million is not enough for snack needs here.“ I deliberately said in front of my own brother, because I did not dare to speak directly to the Givan bang to demand pocket money.
“Yes do not snack, eat at home udah.“
Look, her husband laughed loosely with his mouth filled with food. I can't help but snack, because Alfonso and Hana are kind of rubber stomachs like me too. We tend to stay thin, even though the food that comes in is so thick. Sometimes I think that I'm a worm, I've even taken worm medicine.
“Add two million from shopping money, Mbak.“ I intentionally sand here.
“Yes, later Ma said. Last time Ma'am talked to your boyfriend, your girlfriend?“ Mbak Canda is there breastfeeding. I could see him, who was in the middle of fixing the cloth covering his breastfeeding.
“Not, Ma'am. My friend, he is a kid. Under Gibran's age, he's only two units of his cake.“ Alfonso became suspicious bang Givan and mbak Canda like him.
But we were just pure friends. Alfonso also occasionally introduced his friend to me, but he told me that his friend was not good, so he was not too familiar.
“Ohh, Ma'am asked using the language translated Brother-in-law you. He said, I don't like Ria, she's not pretty, she's also on the crosser light pole she said. We are friends, because you both want to eat and snack. I heard the translation from your brother-in-law, ngakak, it's funny. Cake as it is right, it's right that it looks like a pedestrian light pole.“
At first I smiled a little because I was amused to hear the story mbak Canda, but ended up I put on the face 😑. Mbak Canda was what it was also.
