Aara is Not Lara

The Bekicot Dining Attractions

The night is getting late, the sound of crickets kicking cheerfully between the bushes. There was no frog orchestra, it was quite hot that night. Luckily the brains of a couple who are tired of the flow of life of each family is not as hot as the weather that night.

Mama Lauritz and Papa Yudith sat leaning on the head of the bed with their arms around each other. Better romance should never be known to anyone, who else if not Rava. Rava could be crazy because he could not show off hugs with his daughter Mama Lauritz and Papa Yudith.

"Don't you know how Mas is?" The voice carrying Mama Lauritz asked filled the warm atmosphere at that time.

"Still lobbying people at Dek's house.. Longest there. Let's go first, let's get around the problem." Papa Yudith answered, wiping his wife's arm.

"Yes, but the lecture here even began to enter first rather than Ara. Absence piled, very dear Mas." Mama Lauritz said regretfully enough to think about Gilang's neglected education. Feeling careless with the attitude of Gilang's parents who according to him still put forward his own ego.

"How else would Gilang have run away like that?" Papa Yudith's breathing was heavy.

"Lessons for us Deck.. Do not force the will to children, besides not good for growth and development, yes afraid of becoming like Gilang." Papa Yudith.

"Yes Mas.. Didn't know Gilang ran away from his house."

"Pinter is also Gilang nipu everyone.. Are we the only ones who aren't aware, Dek?" Papa Yudith asked while looking at Mama Lauritz. "It used to be a kara, kept saying recently that there was a brother.. I don't think brother let alone said a kara, forgot. It turns out that Gilang ran away from home.."

"Yesterday he said Silang the same story Mas reason fuzzy because of what, the story is now Mas!" Urge Mama Lauritz suddenly.

"That's a big question, why?" Squeezing his eyes, Papa Yudith snorted bitterly.

Bugh.

"Don't be so jealous. Old, self-conscious." Mama Lauritz said after giving a small blow to Papa Yudith's stomach.

"You're both beautiful Dek, how do you want jealousy?" The chuckle of Papa Yudith.

"Do you remember the time when you used to do it?"

"Haha.. Remember that." Gelak Mama Lauritz reminisces about his second youth.

"Laughter again." Shaking his head, Papa Yudith then pinched Mama Lauritz's soft nose.

"People want to mengapelin gebetan instead sit behind the same Alex. You're in the living room already lined up a guy who's messing around."

"It was the same with Alex. Common everywhere together like twins too." Mama Lauritz said, Relax.

"Yes, when it used to be Mas with you Alex was like a trailer. But, elders, how even like a gini enemy huh?" There is sadness implied from the words of Papa Yudith.

Greed and envy destroy long-established friendships. The peak when Grandpa Baren was about to give the coffee garden that stretched wide to Papa Yudith. Consider it a form of compensation according to Grandpa Baren, but for Om Alex it is an injustice that must be accepted.

The sweat of sacrifice since the time of High School made Om Alex feel entitled to have the coffee garden later. Not a little time that has been Om Alex go through so that his Papa coffee plantation can be more developed.

Do not think even if only a garden does not need special handling, some things such as cheating can still occur. Smuggling crops, corruption of care and maintenance funds, the effects of failing to harvest coffee beans, the increase of operational costs and many others have been handled by Om Alex. The amount of interference that eventually became a strong reason Om Alex felt the coffee garden was more entitled to fall into his hands.

A genius business brain that now brings Om Alex at a high level of success, but still all less when there is no gratitude at all. Greed that wrestled with selfishness and envy closed his eyes and on the truth before the eyes of Om Alex that a speck of wealth that Grandpa Baren expected Mama Lauritz and Papa Yudhith.

"Udah lupain aja Mas, mending the story now about Gilang."

"Patience.." Papa Yudith said while breathing as much air as possible.

"So Gilang was running away because he did not want to be fooled, just who do we know.. Also mas kesas actually, our son Ara is lacking what try to wear rejected all?? Pinter yes, beautiful must be our child, superior seedlings. Not weird, too, just like the scene if there are beautiful guys."

"Discriminately say pretty guy, handsome Mas. Diomelin his son just found out the taste."

"You don't know now.. Continue again yes.. Ara can also cook, although a bit sometimes delicious sometimes not. Couldn't want Gilang with Ara.. Stuck up!!"

"The whole story is angry.." Sighing violently, Mama Lauritz marveled at Papa Yudith.

"Furniture Deck, so emotional airing. Hehe.."

"Keep on to the story again.." Whine Mama Lauritz.

"So Gilang is also not strong as his college in the business department, because all of it is also arranged the same Mas Adam. Add to that his blurring intent.. Do not know also the fate of the old college how, but if calculated anyway should have been dropped out."

Gilang, the young man who was helped by Papa Yudith when the sun was scorching about 3 years ago. The young man who looked had never worked hard but was hanging about on the street. The pale white owner who was flushed with a splash of sweat soaked the moss-green t-shirt he was wearing.

Without much cost or cost of living that makes Papa Yudith pity. Ever felt a life of destitution, but no more terrible than Gilang. Papa Yudith finally gave Gilang a job in the workshop, his initial fate was also like Rava whose work was only sorting according to the size of the bolt nut. Continue to level up to become a consumer car washerman, either on the car when it will be taken or just wanted to be dismantled. Papa Yudith was uncomfortable if he had to serve the car that had just entered the mud puddle of the pig bath.

"If Bima how Mas? Any word from RT?" Mama Lauritz asked suddenly which was only answered by Papa Yudith's little trousers.

"When there's no report?? There's nothing in the village either??" Ask Mama Lauritz again.

"What is it all from the bottom of the Deck. If RT does not know the news of its citizens, how RW especially the rural parties?? Who wants to report if not Mr RT?" Turning Papa Yudith asked Mama Lauritz while giving a little understanding.

"There may be someone else.." Mama Lauritz replied.

"Where can it be.. If there are our citizens or foreigners who make the report, later back the village must be asked yes Pak RTnya."

"Oh that.. Yes, if so, now sleep.. Tomorrow Adek must wake up early to cook breakfast. Kids at school all." Taking off the hand that hugged Papa Yudith's waist, Mama Lauritz had already melted her body and pulled the blanket to the chest.

"Oh, let's go to sleep." Papa Yudith eventually followed Mama Lauritz immersing her body under the covers, scooping her body back in a hug.

"Please help wash your clothes in the morning!?" Mama Lauritz said with her eyes closed. A full request for the order was released.

"Yes.." Replied Papa Yudith briefly who was still staring fixedly at Mama Lauritz's face.

Immersed in harmony, the ravings of the two humans who have waded through the difficult fun together was changed with a smooth snoring. As if a little burden had been lifted, the two of them had not sailed to the island of dreams. There is only calmness without nightmares, strange and ambiguous.

Until the cold morning greeted, the sun had not even appeared and the sky was still dark, Mama Lauritz had already woken up. Warring with knives, cutting boards, pots and cauldrons with his ripples in the kitchen. Even so noisy, but amazingly there is no sound that reaches the ears of residents of 2-storey houses who are cool asleep. Either Mama Lauritz who is good at muffling the sound or the ears of the people are clogged SPBU oil tank.

"Mamas.. Yaw.. Come wake!!" Shouted Mama Lauritz who was already in the second room of his champion.

"WAKE UP!!!" The loud scream of Mama Lauritz who was just a little teasing, evident from Rian who pulled the blanket covered his face.

"Mama flush if the count of three doesn't wake up!!" Threaten Mama Lauritz.

"Sattuuu..!!" Counting on the long, loud speech, Mama Lauritz was ready with a spray of flowers filled with ice water.

"Suuuuaaaaa..!!" Again there is no movement.

"Bylliiiii.."

Perches.

Splash..!!

"Yeah..!! Huh..!! Aaaaah..!!" Jona's screams were accompanied by whimpering while dispelling a subtle wobble on his face. Waking up with a wave, Jona's wet face made Rian's eyes tightly closed due to a big laugh. The morning view is very ordinary.

"Papa..!! Sister..!!" This time changed has triggered the death scream of Mama Lauritz.

"Apaaaog.." Jona's voice sounded as she opened her mouth wide.

Having finished the loudspeaker drama from Mama Lauritz, now the dining table has filled the five residents of the house. Replacing the bribery drama that Jona and Rian did for the Brother. Not that Ara could not eat alone, but her slow motion made Jona and Rian anxious. Giving up on the view of the snail-eating attraction, Jona grabbed the spoon from Ara's hand. Rian remains the assistant he is today.

"Will not drink? Milk?" Rian asked Ara.

"No, that's white water first." Point Ara at half a glass of water in Rian's glass.

"It's.." Rian's question ensured that answered a nod by Ara.

"Slow Brother.." Said Rian anxiously while pushing softly the glass filled with water on Ara's lips that sipped ferociously.

"When is the milk drunk??" Asked Rian who was still focusing on a glass of warm chocolate milk that had not been touched in the slightest. There is a sense of unwillingness if until the milk cools.

"His food stays a little longer, brother.. Finish!" Said Jona firmly while thrusting a spoonful of rice in front of Ara's lips.

"Jona.. Brother's stomach feels like it's going to explode. So much to eat." Dodging backwards, Ara's stomach was already so full that it hardened. Not to mention later having to be forced to fill with a glass of milk, can overflow can be shaken just a little.

"It's also customary to have Jona eat a lot if she's sick." Cibir Jona on Ara.

"Yes, look big brother, his appetite doesn't go down, only his hands are sick."

"It hurts just the same." Jona replied, not to lose the argument.

"Yes different. That's if the pain is other, not a gini wound. If you are sick of eating so little, it needs to be forced so as not to starve."

"Sama aja Kak's.. Sister will also be hungry if now not much to eat. On campus who wants to bribe brother?? Brother Yuki? Bang Dimas's? Later Jona just tell you not to be helped by this Brother.. Ngeyelan anyway." Jona said long, her lips were wrapped around the eel that had just been thrown into a bucket of salt water.

"Like you is Mas.. The important thing is that you eat her, full."

"A little more.. Let Brother not be easy anymore." Pinta Jona with sparkling eyes.

Yes, Jona and Rian do not know the true condition of Ara. Both are only told that Ara fell nyungsep stuck twigs due to being chased by cats. There was no suspicion at all from the two Ara sisters. Although many sentences railed Ara, Mama Lauritz quickly answered all questions like a spokesperson.

"Try Mamas already have a SIM, Brother I can take you to the campus. Hands can't make it so hard.. Ckck!" Jona said as she glanced at the glance towards Ara's palm that was full of scratches. Intentionally not bandaged so as not to be easily moist and slow the wound to dry.

"Don't have a SIM can also carry a motor what's the difference?" Turning her eyeballs lazily, Ara started to move from her seat. The two parents of the 3 human children who had been excited just smiled looking at the interaction of the three.

"You want your handsome brother to go viral in the sosmed because of the ticket?" Scrambling her waist, Jona pinched her lips.

"Goddess.. Yes already.. Ma, Pa, I'm gonna go upstairs and get a bag." Passing out of the dining room, Ara's feet stepped up the stairs.

"So Brother wants to go to campus by ojek or delivered with Papa?" Shouted Jona at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at the back of Ara who kept away from him.

"picked up." Answer Ara briefly.

"picked up? Wh who? Ojek?" Not Jona, this time Rian yelled.

"Some, you'll know for yourself." Said Ara with a high voice, because he was almost at the doorstep of his room.

"Rian let's go.. It's too late." Embracing Rian's shoulder, Papa Yudith took her youngest child towards the shoe rack. The bare feet must be quickly wrapped in socks and shoes.

"How's he?" Rian asked while putting up his shoes.

"Udah justin aja Brother has a friend."

"Yes, if that's Rian, wait outside.."

Running small to the yard, Rian's eyes narrowed when catching adult men who so often visit his home. Neat hair plus an athletic body in a black suit, Rava looks dashing. Unfortunately, Rian will not be fascinated.

"What do you want to do here?" Rian asked quite curtly, frown looking at Rava from top to bottom and vice versa. It was as if it was detecting whether there was any dangerous metal that Rava had brought into his house.

Getting a question full of dislike makes Rava nervous, apparently more difficult to face the little Rian than Papa Yudith. Not to mention the embedded Om calls want to quickly dispose of Rava. Trying recklessly to deflect, Rava was solidifying his tongue calling himself 'Mas' to Rian.

"Ara's sister is there?? I'd like to take her to the campus together." Said Rava with a shady yet very nervous look that was greeted by a flash of lightning by Rian.

"There's." Rian's short reply added to the awkward atmosphere.
