"Why is the countryside like this?" annual Melinda realized all the way not to housing in the city but rural streets.
"But this is really Lin's address, right?" ask Nazeef who is driving.
"Yes." Yeah."
Their voices made Qenan blare. "Stay focused on the same address. Don't disturb my sleeping wife."
The atmosphere in the car became quiet. It always was if Qenan had spoken.
They deliberately rent a regular car so that they can be in one car.
Moments later, the car stopped in front of a simple green house. Dion and Melinda first got out of the car looking at the house carefully.
Melinda walked to the main door of the house and knocked. Before long the middle-aged man appeared behind the door.
"Dad." murmured Melinda saw the father's situation change. The burly body is now thinner unkempt and the white skin used to turn brown in the sun.
You can see the eyes of Melinda's father named Joseph glazed over. "Melinda, father's son?"
Melinda nodded and ran away in her father's arms. Long enough the father and son hugged to realize Melinda came not alone immediately invite her guests to enter the house.
...****...
Qenan was still in the car because Nadira was asleep with her head in her lap.
He stared at Melinda's father's house. There is a sense of pity but more to the worry of not being able to sleep because Melinda's father's house is like not using Air Conditioner (AC).
His eyes glanced towards the front of the house like Melinda's father had invited her in making him move slowly so as not to make Nadira wake up then in her sling brought her into the house Melinda.
"Sorry son, there are only two. 1 father's room and 1 more for his sister Melinda."
Qenan was silent with an indecipherable expression making Melinda point out. "On the couch how's the boss?"
He nodded his head and put Nadira on the sofa that looked worn.
...****...
Melinda let them sit down and go to the kitchen to make tea. Actually the heart began to not calm because of the circumstances of his father. So many questions fill the head.
Walk carefully so that the tea on the tray does not spill. Put a glass of tea in front of each of them.
While the new father finished stretching the mat on the floor to sleep his daughter's guests.
"Dad, where's Susi's mother?" asked Melinda because her mother continued it was not seen from earlier.
Melinda's father sighed. "You're right, son, from the beginning you've prevented father from marrying him but father does not terrorize you. He went to bring all our possessions in addition to the ATM that was in the wallet of father and father fired."
Melinda was aghast until both hands shut their gaping mouths. He did not expect his father and sister to experience bad things while he lived with treasure.
"Why didn't you tell Melinda?"
"Dad doesn't want you to think, dad wants you to just think about college."
Melinda shook her head and hugged her father. "Don't say that, now I sleep first huh. Tomorrow someone wants Melinda bullshit."
Melinda's father nodded and then rose to his room. The moment in the living room was silent with each other's thoughts.
"You slept with your father or sister Lin" Dion said, not wanting her to sleep on the floor.
"Can oppa?"
Dion nodded making Melinda's smile rise. He got up leaving the five of them.
The sleepy Nina immediately lay on the mat after seeing father and Melinda enter the room.
...****...
Seeing the women sleeping there was a sense of calm in their hearts. Now it's time to think about how they fell asleep on the floor. Because they've never done that.
Eyes fixed on the two empty single sofas made them rise up to each other.
"Ah shit." great-grandson Qenan who did not get the sofa made his two friends laugh restrained.
Yet a smirk smile rose on Qenan's lips after something came to mind. Walking up to Nadira and also spread his body. Restoring the sleeping position so that Nadira's head is in his arms.
Unsolicited Nadira's legs have hugged her body like a bolster pillow. Deliberately waving his hands towards his two best friends until a lip whip sounded in his ears.
...****...
In the morning, Melinda's father wakes Melinda up in her youngest child's room.
"Mel, wake up Mel."
"Eems.. Yes." said Melinda in a raucous voice.
Hearing that Melinda immediately got up. "Which one is my friend?"
"That's Bule."
"Oh that's their husband and wife well. I'm sorry for them, Melinda will say that."
Not without reason Melinda's father so because he himself did not know if the young couple was married.
After all woke up, Melinda's father allowed them to have breakfast lontong that he had bought early this morning.
After breakfast, Melinda's father decided to go to the rice field and Dion said to come along.
"It seems like our sister is drawing faces from her father-in-law" whispered Nazeef to Qenan, who was only nodding.
"Nan, I feel sorry for the white Ion." chirped Nadira watching his sister's appearance.
Nadira saw Melinda want to get out of the house to make him say. "Lin, I'm coming. Isn't it Na?"
Nina nodded.
Qenan. "It's hot, Ra."
But Nadira still keukeh want to join including Qenan and Nazeef. Melinda's sister had left for school earlier.
Arriving in the paddy field, Dion helps Melinda's father grow rice. Repeatedly he had to swallow the salivary after getting into the paddy field. Hope nothing makes his image ugly in front of the prospective father-in-law.
"Whose name are you, son?" ask Melinda's dad.
"Dion sir."
"Call me father."
"Ba-good."
"Friends near Elin?"
No longer close, we already have it. cried Dion in his heart.
"Yes yeah."
"Think once again, we people don't have. You know, you must be people's children, right?"
Dion silently confirmed, even if he mentioned the name of Surya's father could be Melinda's father called him the young master.
But he's not that kind of person. It might be like that if from childhood he was not friendly with Qenan and Nazeef. Because they both make him a simpler person. Always rely on your own ability rather than selling the name of a parent.
"I've never looked at the material in terms of love. No one knows when it's a lot and a little for us."
Melinda's father was bearded. "You are still very easy if you have a serious relationship."
...****...
In the hut on the edge of the rice field where the others were. Qenan had continued to nag Nadira because his wife was walking back and forth on the paddy field path.
"Don't go far, it'll fall Ra." For the umpteenth time Qenan reminded Nadira and only answered 'yes' but the foot still walked on the path.
Nazeef and Nina could only help but laugh at seeing the halal couple.
"Auwh.." cried Nadira softly but the cry of Qenan made everyone in the rice fields turn their heads towards her.
In a state of panic, Qenan jumped from the hut just like that, running after Nadira.
"Darling, you're okay?" tanya Qenan while carrying Nadira.
Judging by Nadira's muddy legs, thinking about what kind of pain Nadira felt.
"I'm okay Nan. Calm down." said Nadira after just sitting in the hut earlier.
Qenan was silent but his hands continued to work washing away the muddy feet.
"Qenan.. Oi.. I'm okay." Nadira said because Qenan was checking the leg was injured or not.
Qenan looked up at Nadira. "Tell?"
Nadira nodded and his eyes widened when Qenan's lips touched his. Replying to luma tan for a moment then pushing Qenan's body.
"It's in Nan's village."
Qenan scratched the nape of the neck realizing his mistake. Always so, he could not help himself if it was close to Nadira.
