The Foreign Taste
Commemorative

"Mama Adnan kayaknya attention to Kak Anum. Don't-don't Brother himself has been made, is it the same Adnan?! Say mah to Nia don't date, but sister herself instead.."

"Hushy! Don't fret! Who is dating Adnan. Adnan's just a big brother's friend, Dek. Some say that you have no interest in dating first. Pity me for Daddy and Mommy.."

"But why is Aunt Ayu so good the same Sister?" Kania still feels suspicious.

"Yes maybe his real person is good times, yeah. Don't like su'udzon ah!" Tegur Ranum reminded.

"Not su'udzon, brother.just wonder."

"Nothing is strange. It just so happens that we meet him passing by, right? If you become him, you also want to help people without strings attached. Helping a troubled person can also be a reward, Dek.."

"Start the lecture kayak Bunda.." murmured Kania not clear.

Even so, Ranum could still hear the murmur of his sister. He also pinched slowly Kania cheek and handed over the red sheet money he had received from Mama Ayu.

"This is the money you hold. Tell me you want to hold the red money, right? If you are the big brother, and Anum's sister becomes your brother. It could be you who will be given this money as Aunt Ayu!" Ranum said.

"Is that it, brother?"

"Yes yes! Everywhere so big brother more can trust to hold money than to be a sister, Dek.." seloroh Ranum.

"Times?"

"Lha the evidence? Mother also gave confidence to sister to receive pocket money per month. For you only per week. Aye right?"

Being reminded of the different spending money arrangement between her and Ranum immediately made Kania so upset. In silence Kania advanced her lips, frowning.

"Udah ah's. Don't sulk. Mommy means there's good too, Dek. Brother also used to receive his pocket money once a week," said Ranum.

"Yes brother? Time when?"

"When we were still Junior High 3rd grade. The beginning is still a bit confused. But I got used to it too. And finally start learning!"

"Kok I don't know anyway, brother? When Junior High, Nia gets her pocket money per day continues."

"That's because Mommy might think that you haven't been able to manage finances, Dek. While Mommy is now starting to give you her pocket money weekly right? The meaning of Mommy again tests you, approximately can not manage his finances." added Ranum.

Suddenly Kania felt regret for being late to realize this fact. If true what Kak Ranum said, then Kania felt he was still a failure and could not manage finances.

Because more often he ran out of pocket money about two days before he received his weekly pocket money again.

Embarrassedly, Kania then asked tips on the brother in order to manage finances well. And Ranum also shared his tips.

"How much money did you receive from Mother, Dek?"

"Pekgo (cepek jigo \= 150) sis."

"Well, the pekgo money is divided for 7 days. So it's about 20k, right, over ten grand?"

Kania nodded immediately.

"You set, the maximum snack a day is 15 thousand. While the 5 thousand you are obliged to save. The remaining ten thousand is not fiddled with. Let it be in the wallet, Dek. Mother would have said, if you have money, do not be spent. Pamali. Let the money in the wallet keep going on, Dek.."

"Hihihi. Anum's sister is funny. I don't think you still believe that myth!" Seloroh Kania's.

"That's a myth, but if it's good, it's okay to follow. Partly if every week can add the contents of the wallet ceban (cheek gaban \= 10,000), in a month later you have a money handle 40rb. At times a year, so 480 thousand. Can buy anything fitting Lebaran later. No need to ask for money to Mother and Father again will be her," said Ranum at length.

"Diih. si Neng is very clever counting his calculations!" Praise Mang Usep who turned out to have finished fixing Ranum and Kania motorcycles.

Ranum smiled shyly. Not expecting that his conversation with Kania was also heard by Mang Usep.

"Eh, Mang Usep. That's right, Mang, the bike?" Tanya Ranum shifted the topic.

"Now, Neng. Just change the spark plugs. It's gonna be her soon."

"Alhamdulillah.so how much, Mang?" Ask Ranum.

"Nia, give me the money!" Ranum said to Kania.

"Use this red money, brother?"

"Yes yes, Deck. Which money would you use?"

"So Brother told Aunt Ayu that there was money. So Nia thinks she's paying him with that big brother's money.."

"Iishh. if there is already money that this one yes use this one. Here's the money!" Pinta Ranum was a little firm.

Kania again grumbled in annoyance.

In his heart he mumbled.

'If it's about money, Brother Anum is stingy!' dumel Kania in the heart.

Then Ranum handed over the service change to Kania's hand again. All the change is now in his hands.

Kania looked confusedly at Ranum. Ranum finally explained.

"The return is all for you, deh, Dek. But remember the same tips Brother earlier. You must make it mandatory to save yes, yes." added Ranum reminded.

"Ready Brother! Thanks, brother!" Said Kania while hugging the brother briefly.

"Mang Usep, thank you!" Said Ranum later.

"Sama-sama Neng's. Be careful on the road!" Sahut Mang Usep's.

Kania then returned to the wheel of the motorbike. And a second later, Kania and Ranum went back on their way home.

Just then, sayup-sayup in the distance came the sound of Adhan reverberating.

'Allahu Akbar! Allah Akbar!'

Meanwhile in the car that is carrying Ayu and Aditya at the moment..

"Why did you give all the money to the kids? You are too kind to them, Yang.." Aditya rebuked in a cold tone.

"The poor Mas. Their bikes are breaking down. If the damage is large it will need more money to pay to the workshop. Children where have a lot of money, Mas," said Rahayu explained.

"They have parents too. Why are you so busy thinking about them? Let them call his parents. It is the responsibility of his parents. It's not your responsibility" Aditya said in an unchanging cold tone.

Realizing that the situation in the car began to be uncomfortable, Rahayu finally decided to give up.

"Yes. Ja. I'm mistaken. I know the money I gave you was from Mas. I am also tired of work. Next time I'll ask permission first, I will."

After saying that, Rahayu immediately turned her face outside the window. In his heart he felt annoyed at the husband who was so difficult to empathize.

"Hh. I mean it's not so, Yang. You also know what I mean. We cannot always be kind to others freely. Worrying that we will be helped by others because of our kindness. Not everyone knows how to thank you!"

"They're kids, Mom! How can they have bad intentions? Why try?" Rahayu's words began to provoke her emotions.

Realizing that he had begun to lose control, Rahayu hurriedly closed her eyes.

"Sorry, Mas. I'm out of control. We've already had this conversation. My head is dizzy. I want to sleep first, Mas," said Rahayu.

Aditya did not say the words of his wife. In his heart he was still furious because he again had to meet the girl named Ranum.

In her mind Aditya also planned to send a warning message to the girl. To get Ranum to stay away from Rahayu. And it would be better if the girl stayed away from Adnan.
