Chapter 29
("I'm sorry, ci. I can't pick you up. There's a job at carwash.")
"Yes, not papa." Reply to Uci, then hang up. "Oh yeah, today's riding an angkot."
Uci walked out of the place where he was working towards Selter where the bus stop was. The horn sound rang out loud at the back, making Uci quickly turn his head.
"Swive not to pick it up?" Ask Arifin after lowering the car glass.
"No sir, the Hengki is still working." Answer the honest UCi.
Arifin was silent for a moment, he remembered that today Hengki had a meeting with some of his business associates. To invite only Hengki Bram sir to threaten not to approve his relationship with Uci. Until Hengki is forced to respond."He must be the same papa." Gumam Arifin.
He then saw Uci, "How do you go home?" Ask with interest.
"Fine bus sir." answered Uci honestly.
"Lake in." Arifin.
Uci looked at himself.
"Get in, I'm anter." Arifin opened the car door from the inside.
"Eh, no need sir. Ngerepotin."
"No! In sprawl!"
Arifin's order was of course finally followed. He felt bad and uncomfortable when he was near the boss. Because the heartbeat is still difficult Uci control.
"Where's your house?" Tanya Arifin broke the silence.
"On the road of peace number 33 perumnas, sir."
"Ci, uh,"
"Yes, sir?"
"If again outside the office, you can not call me. I'm not too old to call you, sir."
"But, my boss."
"Yes, it's in the office. Now it's out of the office, and out of business hours, Ci."
"Eeh, yes sir."
"Sir again..."
"Eh, yes, yes."
Arifin smiled a little."wouldn't eat first?"
"No, sir, uh, mas." Push the smooth Uci."At home there's mom, it's not good if you don't eat at home."
"Oohh, do you live with your mother?"
"MMM, my mother just came yesterday from the village."
Arifin.
They arrived in front of Uci's contract. Sumi's mom is already standing on the terrace. His face sparkled as soon as he saw a nice car stopping in front of the house. Especially seeing that Uci just got out of that car. Ms. Sumi approached with great enthusiasm. Coincidentally Arifin also got off his car.
"Face, who is this? Bring a nice car, handsome again. Your boyfriend is Ci?" Ms. Sumi greeted with a friendly and wide smile. Very different when welcoming Hengki who only brought an old motorcycle.
"It's not buk, it's Uci's boss."
"Well, boss? Why bring her home? You're better suited to him than the same bitch."
Arifin who greeted Bu Sumi was a little surprised to hear Bu Sumi's words. "Bedugal? What does it mean Hengki?"
Uci could only look down embarrassed at his boss. The mother was very enthusiastic about touching Arifin's car."Well, if the boss is riding a car yes, not a motorbike butut that easily broke down."
"Hugely..."
"Let's go in, son, what's his name?" Ask Bu Sumi enthusiastically.
"Ariffin, buk."
"Oh yeah, Arifin, let's go inside." Sumi's mom has already pulled Arifin's hand.
"Oh," Uci held the hand of the mother who immediately gave him a look of protest."sir Arifin still has business buk, so must go immediately."
Mom Sumi's mouth doesn't like it."How the hell? He wants to see you...."
"Hud! Don't do this, plis."
"Huuhh, it must be because of the kere men, right? Till death I won't let you be the same as him." Said Ms. Sumi continuously muttering and stomping feet into the house.
"I'm sorry sir. My mother is so."
"Yes, not papa. I'm just shocked." Said Arifin smiling wryly, "I went back first huh. Pamitin's with your mother."
"Yes, thank you, sir."
Arifin raised his finger towards Uci. Uci realized it was wrong to use the call, then rectify it."Thanks, mas."
Arifin's index finger fused to form a circle with the thumb. Uci smiled at the attitude of his boss.
After Arifin left, Uci went into the house and got a question from the mother.
"Is that really your boss? Sure you don't have anything with him?"
"Astaghfirullah, um...." Uci said walking into the room to change clothes, their conversation would just widen everywhere.
"You're going out with that Arifin guy, Ci. Don't be the same as the bad guy yesterday." Cetus Bu Sumi followed Uci to the room.
"Mothers... Never mind, matters of the heart, let Uci himself choose."
"You are, Ci! He told me the same old man. The mother said this is also for your good. If the same kingpin, what would you like to feed? Let alone love money, for you must be less." Omel Bu Sumi at length, and again about money."if you marry a rich man, not only are you guaranteed. You can live well too."
Uci felt very tired, and grew more and more tired with his mother's attitude and nagging. He hurried to finish changing clothes and to the bathroom without responding to his mother's words that would never run out if about money.
After finishing from the bathroom, I visited the kitchen. See what food.
"It's not cooking." Said Bu Sumi looking at the movement of Uci.
"Mother, wasn't it shopping and cooking?"
"Yes, I ate by myself. The shopping money you love is very small. Not enough for us." Tuka Bu Sumi lightly.
Uci sighed trying to be more patient. In any case, Sumi is his mother, and he looks for food that can be cooked. There's pokcoy, sweet corn, and tofu. I decided to cook the soup.
"We've been approved yet?"
The movement of Uci who was preparing the dish slowed down a little, "Have it, buk."
"Good, when do we get home?" Ask Bu Sumi without helping Uci's work in the least.
"A week away,"
"Humby why talk like that? Poor father."
"Eat him, if you pity him, hurry back."
"But buk, Uci can not just take a sudden holiday. Uci has to finish a lot of work before Uci leaves."
"You know your boss. Wish him, skalian asked for pocket money back to the village."
"It's busy, it can't be that."
"Can! You are not a pinter." Omel Bu Sumi makes Uci even more careless.
After all the ingredients are ready, Uci put the pan on the stove. Then light the fire, but the gas runs out. Uci just massaged his chest patiently.
"Oh, Uci buy gas first."
"Buy the side dish, Ci. You don't have to be tired of cooking."
Uci does not want to pay too much attention to the mother's words that make him tired. He just passed by carrying empty gas to the stall. On the way home, Uci was surprised because suddenly there was a motorbike stopped by his side and took over the gas in hand.
"Mas Hengki!" Pekik Uci, it turns out, he was intercepted by Hengki who was riding a matik motorbike. Because his old motorbike is still in the workshop.
"Let's go up."
Uci smiled with relief at Hengki. The good man could make him feel comfortable and calm while his heart was in a state of turmoil like this. After making sure Uci sits perfectly on the back jog. Hengki pulled the gas lever of his motor.
There was no conversation between the two. Just the silence that evening. But, Uci really enjoyed it. Being near Hengki Uci felt very calm even though he felt very bad for Hengki when remembering his mother.
Uci's hands slowly moved to hug the lover's stomach. It made the smile on Hengki's face expand. The two human children enjoyed a very simple romantic thing, riding on a motorcycle.
Hengki motor stop at the yard. Seeing Uci coming home with Hengki made Bu Sumi murmur closer. Obviously he did not like it, because for him, Hengki was just a kere man.
"Whose motor is that?" The sticky greeting.
"Tomorrow buk." Sapa Hengki friendly and full of smiles approached and tried to greet the prospective in-laws. And as before, Hengki's hand was only allowed to float.
"Your motor is broken? That's why don't be a kere...."
"Hummer, it is," cut Uci who is very tired and ashamed of Hengki's attitude to the mother. Sumi's mother walked in.
"I'm sorry, my mother."
"No papa,"
"Just go home, okay?"
"Why? You just arrived, you've been kicked out."
"That's not what Uci mas means. Ibuk... Uci ibuk Uci is getting into - so say mas. Mas's in the ketusin, but Uci's hurt and embarrassed mas."
Hengki rubbed Uci's head with a pity. His love for Uci grew. "Have you eaten?"
Uci shook his head, "so cooking, gas abis mas."
"Yes, the gas is put in so you can mop up, and not lemes anymore."
"But mas, Uci..." Uci still wants to hold Hengki because he does not want the mother to hurt Hengki more with words of disdain.
Uci can only resigned when Hengki grasped his hand into the house with carrying gas in his other hand.
"Who is it that you're entering?" Tegur Bu Sumi ketus.
"I want to cook the gas buk." Answer Hengki still with a soft tone of speech, polite and a smile of course.
"Can't you ci?"
Uci lowered his head, though,
"Excuse me for a minute, I'm going to the gas station."
Sumi ma'am melengos,"Look at the ci, she'll have anything to bring home."
"Astaghfirullah, ibuukkk... Please don't..."
"Sci..." Uci's sentence was cut off by Hengki's increasingly tight-knit head and gang. The man rubbed Uci's head as the lover cast a protesting gaze at her.
Hengki walked into the kitchen and put up the gas until the fire was lit.
"You're here at dinner time, want to ask for your meal, okay?" Sinis Bu Sumi when Hengki sat in the living room with the prospective in-laws. Hengki smiled hearing that.
"We used to eat together, buk."
"Ooh, so you want to eat? Free nyari? Yeah, people are kere anyway?"
While waiting for the cooking of Uci to ripen, Bu Sumi simply threw trivial and insulting words at Hengki. The sober and honest answer from Hengki made Uci feel small and low. When his parents so aggressively showed the ugliness of the nature of the attitude, Hengki was even lower which made the man high in the heart and eyes of Uci.
"I'm sorry, for your attitude and words." Said Uci who continued to be overcome with guilt and shame as he drove Hengki's departure home in the yard.
"What the hell you are, ci. Keep apologizing? Mas is just trying to take the heart of the future-in-law, support the mas, zahin mas, not even apologize continue..." Omel Hengki remained in follow the smile on his face.
"But mother is so outrageous, mas..."
"I'm busy just trying to keep his daughter ci, so as not to fall into the wrong man's hands."
Uci looked at Hengki with dewy eyes.
"Your money is still enough? There's definitely increased spending, right?"
"Enough enough."
"It's..." Hengki held the money into the hands of Uci.
Uci looked at Hengki not accept."My mother!"
"Make dinner pay..." Kekeh Hengki with an amused laugh until his shoulders shook slowly. Uci let out a small laugh and hit Hengki's arm.
Indeed, from earlier, Ms. Sumi only said the problem of money and eating geratis.
"Run in, Ci! What's been out there for so long?!" Bu Sumi's voice sounded very loud.
"It's hard to get angry, but back then, huh? Don't be stressed, what I say yes. And doain mas let's get the green light."
Uci nodded, though,
"By home."
After Hengki came home, Uci went into the house.
"Tomorrow morning, we're back."
Uci was stunned to hear the mother's words. "Can't open, Uci's permission is still a week away... Uci can be sp if you come home suddenly tomorrow." Uci said trying to give Ms. Sumi some understanding.
"Your father is sick, this is Kolifah just called. Said he was dying in the hospital."
"What?"
