The Foreign Taste
Rahayu Plan

The school holidays are finally over. The students returned to school on Monday morning. Also includes Ranum and Kania.

The last few days, it started raining at random times. Sometimes morning, afternoon, evening, even night. The arrival of rain is no longer predictable. Unlike many years ago, which in this country is only known for two seasons. The rainy season and the dry season.

But, in the actual month has entered the rainy season since two months ago, the rain so rarely appears. Only occasionally. It has only been raining for the last few days almost every day.

The first day of school in the new semester, Kania and Ranum look anxiously at the sky.

The sky was dark from the moment they opened both eyes. The rain has not yet fallen.

"Come, I'll take you to school! Afraid if you walk, it'll rain again!" Said Dad volunteering to drive.

Ranum and Kania immediately cheered and thanked Nanda.

"Thank You Dad! Wait daft! Nia wants to grab Nia's bag first!" Say Kania while entering the room.

"Anum too Well! Just a minute!" Ranum rushed in following Kania's steps.

Shortly thereafter, the two were immediately piggybacking on the back seat of Nanda's motorcycle.

Arriving at school, Ranum and Kania get off the motorbike. Then the two salim kissed the back of the Father's hand.

"Thank you, Dad, be careful on the road!"

"Yes. Go back to school and pick me up again?" Ask Nanda suddenly.

"Indeed, is Dad off today?" Ask Ranum back.

"No really. But it's afraid it's raining."

"Quiet, Dad! Mother brought an umbrella!" Kania.

"Oo. yes, it is. You guys are excited to learn! Assalamu'alaikum!"

"Wa'alaikum salam warohmatullah.."

Nanda passed away on his bike. While Ranum and Kania wait for his father figure to disappear in the distance, only then do they turn around to enter through the entrance gate.

But, rudimentary the two turned around, when a red car suddenly honked and stopped near them.

Before long the car door opened and showed Adnan who came down from the car.

"Mama's gonna pick you up later, Nan! You wait at the front stop!" Mama Ayu said from the front seat.

"Yes Ma. Thank you, Ma." said Adnan.

"Eh. There is Ranum and Kalila too." said Mama Ayu to the two sisters.

"Cania, Aunt. Not Kalila," the instantaneous correction of Kania.

"Grandfather!" Ranum scolds his sister, then smiles apologizing to Mama Ayu.

"Assalamu'alaikum Aunt, Adnan!" Sapa Ranum's.

"Wa'alaikum salam.yes yes. Sorry about Kania. Understand that mothers like to forget. Who were you guys off with? Aunty thought you were not the three bells," said Mama Ayu with a friendly smile.

"So we went with Dad, Auntie. It's cloudy. If the walk is afraid of rain," Kania explained.

"Well, you guys usually walk? Your house isn't that far from school?" Ask Mama Ayu curiously.

"Yes Aunt. It is quite far if the walk is about twenty minutes. If you ride the motorcycle for at least five minutes, Auntie," back, Kania who answered Mama Adnan's question.

"Duh. terribly far means if it has to walk half an hour. Why not take the angkot?"

"That's.." Kania looked confused to answer.

Actually, he also wanted to ride the angkot. But Ranum's sister always took him on foot every day. He said to save more money.

Besides the walking activities he does every day, Kania is also stronger in undergoing the exercise of exkul pasko that he wrestled.

"Maybe be healthier, Ma. Adnan used to be on foot in SD. Finally, Adnan became slim right now," said Adnan saved the situation.

Rahayu also seemed to realize the real reason the two women in front of her were on foot. But he pretended not to know and just agreed with his son's words.

"It's a walk, Auntie. I work" replied Kania.

"That's it. gini. Aunty will go home to Teak Wood. So let Aunty give you a hand today? Your house is in that direction, right?" Rahayu.

"Ehhh?? That's.. What's not nerepotin, Aunt?"

"No, it's okay. All through."

Ranum and Kania also agreed to the offer from Mama Adnan. While in his heart Ranum wondered. Where would Aunt Ayu know the address of their residence?

After another brief pleasantry, they parted ways with Mama Ayu. Adnan, Kania and Ranum enter the school gates together.

On the way to class, Ranum was intrigued to ask Adnan. Did he tell his mom about his residence address.

But Ranum had not had time to ask, Kania again faster to ask first.

"So how do you know my address and Anum's sister anyway, Nan?" Ask Kania to Adnan.

"That's.I never accidentally went home with Mama and kept melewatin alley into your house. I keep talking about your house there," Adnan admitted.

"Oo. deserves it. Kirain before her Mama you ever nganterin Kak Anum it go home.." Kania has been vocalizing his allegations.

Ranum immediately elbowed his sister's waist and reprimanded her.

"What the hell, Dek! Don't just say ah!" Tegur Ranum's.

"It's also about that time.."

Kania's remarks were hurriedly stopped by Ranum.

"Okay Nia. We go first to class. You there rush into class too. His word is going to your senior pasko too, right, Dek?" Ranum said in a hurry while pushing Adnan's back to immediately enter their classroom.

Kania frowned a little because she knew her sister was trying to avoid the conversation about Mama Ayu. But it was true what her sister said earlier. He did have to go to senior Asthma this morning to discuss the post-workout next week.

In a hurry, Kania hastened her steps towards her own classroom. And the thought of his brother's attitude earlier, immediately crashed from his mind instantly.

Meanwhile, in the car carrying Rahayu..

Rahayu was tepekur remembering the faces of her Father Ranum and Kania. For some reason, his heart suddenly fidgeted as he stared at the handsome face of the middle-aged man.

Rahayu never felt this way towards Aditya, her own husband. So Rahayu felt suspicious, whether she actually recognized the father of her son's friend.

Therefore Rahayu wants to deliver Ranum and Kania. So that he might be able to meet directly with his father and also his mother the two teenagers.

It could be that they could help her recall her memories that had been lost for almost ten years. Because Rahayu suspects the attitude of the husband who according to her is unnatural because such as blocking her from remembering her own memories.

Yep. Rahayu wants to investigate all of her own. But before that, there is a mouth that must be closed first by him as soon as possible. He did not want his efforts to be discovered by Aditya.

Because for reasons that Rahayu did not know clearly, he was sure. If her husband will not like this action if Aditya finds out later.

Rahayu glanced to the side, towards the driver who had long been her personal driver.

Rahayu cleared her throat slowly. And said, "Please keep it a secret to Mr. Yes, sir if I want to take his friends Adnan home later in the day."

Mr. Bas looks jerky. Not expecting to be asked to share the secrets of the boss he was most reluctant to work for decades.

"That's.." Mr. Bas looks doubtful. So Rahayu again persuaded him with a fistful of red money that he thrust into the pocket of Pak Bas's clothes that were driving.

"This is for Father. I know that you are in need of money at this time for the sake of treating Mr. Bas's wife. Consider this a thank you from me. Because Mr. Bas has been working for a long time to deliver me." said Rahayu in a hurry.

"And about delivering the children, I kept asking Mr. Bas not to tell my husband. I just want to take the kids. It's not like you're about to do something no-no, is it, sir?" Imbuh Rahayu is back.

After thinking for quite a while, Pak Bas finally nodded stiffly. And Rahayu was immediately relieved to make it.

"Thank you, sir!" Rahayu said sincerely.

"...sama-sama Madam.."
