I'M NOT STUPID
House on fire

Drrr...

Drrr...

When Keyla was tidying up her clothes, Mang Ojang contacted her, Keyla immediately raised her call.

"Assalamualaikum". Say Keyla softly.

"Mrs Walaikumsalam Ma'am, can Ms Keyla go home today?". Mang Ojang said with a bit of nervousness.

"What's the matter Mang? is there a problem there?". Keyla asked in panic.

"Sorry Miss Keyla. Mom's house burned last night because of an electrical short". Evidently.

"Innaliki". Keyla immediately fell on the floor with tears. He could not imagine if the house relics of his parents were consumed by the fire.

"Mom, Miss Keyla? hello Ma'am..". Mang Ojang continued to call Keyla who was still sitting crying. His phone was left on the floor.

After a few minutes of pondering. Keyla wiped her tears. Then he got ready - ready to go back to his hometown.

"Well, where are we going?". Ask Emira on the way.

"We want to go home, baby". Answer with eyes focused driving.

"Horary.. Emira is happy when at grandma's house, the weather is cold mah". Said Emira with excitement.

Keyla could not bear to see her daughter if she later found out her grandparents' house was burned down. He is confused about what to answer later if Emira asks about the condition of the house.

Arriving at his hometown. Keyla cried to see the condition of the house that is currently in front of her eyes. His house burned down without leaving any relics in the house.

"Well, grandma's house why is it so charred? Emira can't sleep at Grandma's house". Say it plainly.

Keyla hugged Emira. Her strength was only that princess.

"Sorry Keyla dad, mom. Keyla can't keep your house. Our house of memories. Hiks hyks". She was unable to hold back her tears anymore.

"Excuse me Miss Keyla. We'd better talk about this in my house. Let's Ma'am". Teach Mang Ojang, then Keyla and Emira follow him.

Arriving at his house, Mang Ojang immediately invited him to sit down.

"So this is Ma'am. Last night according to residents who were on guard at night, at exactly 2 pm the house was already on fire. The residents turned it off because the fire quickly spread throughout the house. We have also called the fire department but because of road closures so we have to turn the direction until the fire engine arrives when the house is burned". Clearly in detail.

"Sorry Mom, this is all I can save before the fire starts". He then gave an album of photos belonging to Keyla and her parents.

Keyla took the photo album. Then I saw the photos one by one. Her tears kept flowing down her cheeks. Emira who understood a little immediately hugged her mother.

"It's better for Keyla and Emira to stay here first. I've prepared a room for you guys". Mang Ojang's wife.

"thank you. Mak Lina and Mang Ojang are very good. So far you've helped me take care of my parents' house". Keyla said he felt indebted to the kindness of Mang Ojang and his wife.

In the morning, they had breakfast together. After that, Keyla and Emira packed up their clothes because they were going back to the city in the afternoon.

"Yes there, Son Keyla". Legally.

While walking a few meters from home, seen mothers who were busy gossiping at the vegetable merchant base.

"Ehh.. There's Keyla. Where's Key going? ". Mak Kokom. One of Mak Lina's neighbors.

"You go to Mak's front shop, buy supplies to go home later". Keyla replied kindly and a smile widened.

"Patience to Key for what happened to your parents' house. Maybe it's in return because you ate your ex-husband's treasure". Said Mak Kokom with nyinyir and the other neighbors who helped nudge each other.

"Nek udu wong tua wes not sengki gelut. (if not my parents have beaten )". His mind, with a wry smiling face. Keyla kept trying to calm down in response to Mak Kokom's mistreatment. Because everyone knows that Mak Kokom is the queen of nyinyir in his village.

"Who said Mak if the property I got results from robbing my ex-husband?. If there is no evidence, there will be a fall of slander. Mak Kokom could be in jail for accusing without evidence and defamation ". Skak Keyla makes Mak Kokom silent unquoted. The neighbors who were there also kept quiet and held back laughter seeing the attitude of Mak Kokom who was used to julid and did not want to lose it finally someone dared to fight and defeat in every word of his nyinyir.

"Son Keyla why? coming home from the stall, her face bent?". Ask Mak Lina in surprise.

"Mak Habit. Surprised by Mak Kokom, from the year of the monkey to the year of the kingkong it seems like he has no change in the same nature that likes nyinyir it". Keyla immediately dropped her body on the sofa with a rough breath.

"Ohh the Kokom was so bad. No need to take heart". He said by stroking Keyla's head.

Mak Lina with Keyla is like a mother and child. Both his parents with Mak Lina and Mang Ojang were already like family. Therefore they help take care of the house of his parents.

"Oh yeah Mak, where's Emira?". Keyla asked by looking around not finding it.

"Emira is playing with Alesha the next-door neighbor's son". Legally.

It's 2 o'clock by noon. Keyla and Emira are ready to return to the City.

"Mac, Mang Ojang. Keyla same Emira saying yes. If there's anything - what's my news". Keyla. Emira then kissed Mak Lina and Mang Ojang.

"Yes Miss Keyla, you guys are heart on the road. Visit here often". Mang Ojang.

Emira waved at Mak Lina and Mang Ojang. Eventually they both moved away from view.
