The Father Boy
ALA66'S CHAT. Year of grief
"Why?" Key focused his attention on Izza.
"I can't cook." Izza smiled awkwardly.
"Later it can be, just so independent now. There used to be a grandmother, nothing. There used to be a mother, yes no mother. If you are not feeling well a little, the mother calls to help take care of the children, so take a full rest. If to grandma, I don't know anyone who plays there ya not picked up. Cook, ask there often. Ask it not one meal, but one plate full because for us too. Dad was often really angry, said his grandmother, had taken a portion of food for his grandmother and grandfather. So if you ask for that, grandma and grandpa who even got the rest. But repeated so, until the afternoon grandma same grandfather does not exist, the next morning biyung still ask for a side dish. Mom time did not fall ill and finally there is no end, yesterday spent here because biyung sick. Mangge time does not exist, it is the Yusuf mange that at the beginning of the year, yes before the severe pain abis silaturahmi to all of us. Tumben is that, right? Neither do we suspect in that direction." Key's mood was suddenly sad, he could at least remember those sorrowful years.
"But the children are strong, brother? I know for myself, they took care of it right up to the burial as well." Izza remembered the suffering.
"Strong, for the sake of his father and brothers, who else, if not them, because they are obligated. Truly a year of grief, because after the completion of the burial, his children fell all sick. Most of us went to the hospital in turn. I'm the oldest child, I bother going back and forth here and there with the care of the little brothers. Not to mention the condition of the house is very messy, with people who are still crowded because of tahlil. That's it, find his food from the field, until there is nothing in the field. The traumas are right, until the affected fields are not worked again. Although at the end there has been a high concrete wall, so it does not landslide again, but the movement of the land is fast and strong. Hence the fields that are tilted position, greened again the same father. It's okay to reduce income, but citizens and grandchildren are safe from the disaster again. Sometimes think too, if our family is too angry, but we will buy, not the forest gundulin." Key wanted to not accept that fate, but he realized it was destiny and a necessity.
"Many of his victims mean anything?" Izza stopped eating the food, because he listened to the story.
"Many, one hundred and twenty workers. Grandpa and grandma tuh initially still helped, but in the hospital was not even helped. Sometimes it's bad thinking, why was he taken to the hospital instead? In both bodies there were no injuries, they were also not hit from the avalanche. But they panicked, they were shocked, he said, maybe the cause was, you could say, a heart attack, because we refused to do an autopsy. The clothes were clean, the saung they made the place to eat was still intact. So they are on the saunganya, keep the saung shifted fifty meters from the starting place because of the landslide. Want to help to whom, people around was already the overlap of the land all. Though grandfather tuh often physical activity, walking cake and all sorts. Grandma who never exercise, so it's natural to have a heart attack. But you know what, BCL's husband? He had a heart attack, another workout. So the heart attack, the cake had no symptoms." Key moved his hand which was filled with spices.
"Yes, her husband BCL was soy sauce, jet lag, kept on sporting, sister. Heart attack doesn't know young or old, it's all at risk." Izza remembered the news.
"He'em, deepest wound. Often right hear the talk of the justad so, he said our death was, when we do our habits. Grandpa got used to the fields, grandma used to take lunch to the fields, plus they ate it from the fields, so just accept. They are also the cake that there is a sense of tuh, nyicil period of equipment died, shroud cake and others. Keep telling his kids, gold put it here, money put it here, shroud is in this box, spare key here, this door code-this. Really we are told to know everything, even though we are angry at first, but know finally to make it easier for them too. Papa Ghifar was so bad he fainted so many times, but he was too fit to replace his coffins and all sorts of things. After the completion, the ambulance was taken from the cemetery, because it fainted after the urug of the ground, continued unconsciously. Mr. Wa said his pulse had weakened, his condition had dropped, so papa Ghifar had up to twelve days in the hospital. We are not all sincere at the beginning, but we accept the reality. The story goes that the father had hypertension, Icut's mother, Ghifar's father, Ghavi's father, and Ghavi's father, all had high blood. So the legacy cake of his high blood was directly passed down from grandfather. If ma Giska, Mr. Gavin's check and Mr. Gibran's check got less blood, grandma's cake. Their time in the hospital is due to alternating pain, yes they undergo treatment with their abnormal tension. Weird huh? But real," said Key streak.
"That means you weren't married at the time, brother?" Izza also remembered, the incident occurred when he was just in college.
"No one is married yet. I got married two and a half years ago, from marriage to pregnancy it was a six-monthly empty cake. If Jasmine is not, then married, the next month immediately pregnant. Adib is also like that, just married, the next month his wife is pregnant. I married her one month apart with Aksa, Aksa used to keep me." Key is so good at dialogue, he can take his chat anywhere. This made Fa'ad fall in love with Key. While all men think that Key is a chatty woman, Fa'ad thinks that Key is a dull woman.
"That means what do I call them, brother?" Izza reopened the virgin's shell.
"We're all cousins, if we go to wa Gavin and pak wa Gibran, we call him wa sir, because even though they're almost our age, they're grandparents. They're our uncles, dad's sisters. To Aksa to Adib anyway, yes call a name or bang only if indeed they are older than your age. But Aksa is like me, yes old me. I'm the oldest grandson here, Hamera continued, but I don't live here. If Adib is the same age as Hadi, Kal Zio keknya deh, because Ceysa is one year younger than them. Anyway the other birth distance is not far, Za. It's marriage, it's pregnancy, it's giving birth, it's her son just sat down. Dad said so, so we are all the same age now. Chandra is about the age of Ghofar Ghafur, about the same age as Kal. We ain't no long distance, Za. So whether who is old and who is young, call it already used to be a name. But I was called a brother long ago, because I was there before they were." Key is easily familiar with anyone, even with his husband's family because of his nature who likes to chat.
Izza mangosteen, he many do not know with the appearance of a name called Key. Like Hamera and Aksa, who do not live here.
"Keep, if Jasmine's sister?" Izza felt there was an old brother's name that Key did not explain.
"Diamond…." Key rolled his eyeballs.
