Alena [My girlfriend was taken by my mother]

Season 2 #Part 5

"Well, Rino's been picked up?" ask Mas Dwi who just finished bathing.

"Yes, Mas. Just now" I replied.

"Where are you from? Very late afternoon he came home," asked Mas Dwi to Tria who was now sitting next to me and cool with her phone.

"Main" he answered briefly.

"The motor has not been oil-replaced yet? That's the schedule instead should be from last week," said Mas Dwi reminded, not the first time.

"Yes, tomorrow!" tria replied in an annoyed tone.

I can only be a spectator here. Mas Dwi went straight into the room, followed by Tria who also entered his room. I remember not shopping for breakfast tomorrow morning, it seems like I have to go to the stall before the night starts late.

The store is not so far away, it is located right at the end of the alley. The condition of the road is also not so quiet, there are still many families who sit on the terrace of his house while chatting. It also looks like small children are calm in the lap of their parents.

'My 'perfect family, ' my inner self.

Arriving at the stall, I took a packet of vegetable concoction for soup and 1 pack of medium-size tempeh. At least enough for breakfast tomorrow morning. I also bought eggs. Mas Dwi sometimes like to cook eggs in the middle of the night if suddenly hungry in the middle of overtime.

"How, Ma?" ask me to the shopkeeper's mother while handing over my groceries.

"Fifteen thousand, Neng. Which person's tea neng? How did I just see," asked the mother after telling me my total expenses.

"Ah, I'm new, ma'am, here. His wife Mas Dwi," I replied while spending twenty thousands. "This is the money, Mom," I said again.

"Oh, Dwi's wife!" exclaimed the mother with her crispy. "I'm still a distant brother of Ms. Meira loh, does it look the same beautiful?" ask her again with her PD.

"Oh, still brother?" many surprised. Mas Dwi never told me at all.

"Yes, the brother of Prophet Adam," he said, laughing. I laughed at my own stupidity. "Okay, Neng. Don't believe that easily, huh! I was just kidding. I just ngefans aja same as Ms. Meira, already beautiful, pinter, good again," he said again praising Mama Meira.

"Hehe, yes." I don't know what to respond to.

"Your change, next time a lot of shopping! It used to be that Ms. Meira used to buy tempe here every day. Dwi used to love eating tempe bacem. You know yet?" tanyanya while handing over five pieces of money.

"Ah, I don't know yet, ma'am," I replied honestly.

"Well, take one more tempeh, take a bonus from me." The mother gave me another pack of tempe.

"This is serious, Mom?" I just can't believe it.

"Yes, bring it! Say the same Dwi, arrogant at all he's the same Teh Uun. I never want to shop here again" he said. Ahh, so his name is Teh Uun.

"Yes, Mom. Thank you very much. Later I will convey to Mas Dwi," I said happily. Yes, it is nice to get free groceries and also happy to have a new friendly acquaintance.

"Yes, equally. Call 'Teteh' aja, do not 'Mother', let it look younger," he said then laughed again.

"Hehe yes, Tea. Excuse me, yes!"

I returned home in an improved mood. I'll have to find a recipe to make bacem. Feeling useless until I don't know my husband's favorite food. Upon my arrival at home, Mas Dwi was a bit surprised to see me coming.

"Where are you going, anyway? Go don't say it," she asked in panic.

"It's to buy vegetables for tomorrow morning" I replied as I put my groceries in the refrigerator.

"You're still not feeling well, why don't you tell me?" ask again. His tone seemed really worried.

"Mas, I'm healthy. Anyway I'm just shopping at Uun doang Tea."

"You know Uun Tea?"

"No, he introduced himself. He said he was arrogant, so tell him to shop there often again. Nih thanks tempe too, free. The trick is good," I said at length, but Mas Dwi's view looked different.

"Other times shopping at the supermarket, if you want to buy instant noodles at the minimarket. Don't shop at that shop!" he said firmly then stepped into the room.

"Well, why, Mas?" I followed him from behind.

When we were already inside the room, Mas Dwi invited me to sit on the sofa next to him. Before he spoke, he took a deep breath. I feel like I just made a big mistake.

"I don't forbid you from getting to know people in this neighborhood, but you do remember, right, that I'm the second child in my family?" tanyanya opened the conversation.

"Yes, Mas said that his brother Mas already does not exist," I said slowly. I'm afraid my memory is wrong.

"Yes, you're right. He's not there, not on our family list."

"On the family list? So then?" I dare not deduce it myself, because it feels like this matter is very sensitive.

Mas Dwi said, if in fact he had an older sister. Her name is Esa Juliani Hermasyah. He was a quiet and submissive child, inversely proportional to Tria's personality. However, due to his mistake he was eventually forced to be evicted from the house.

He was only two years adrift of Mas Dwi. He quit college in the fifth semester on the grounds of wrong majors, but apparently he hid a big secret. Papa, who was so disappointed to learn that his daughter was pregnant with the child of a married man, eventually expelled his first child. No matter the fetus in the womb.

"Then, what does this have to do with Uun Tea?" I'm getting curious. The family life I thought was perfect turned out to be woeful as well.

"He's his younger brother brengs*k that," Mas Dwi replied with his stifled emotions.

"Then, where's Julia's sister now?" ask again.

"Either, the point is try not to shop there again!" pinta Mas Dwi's.

"Yes, Mas. I'm sorry."

"Yes, it's okay. It was my fault for not telling you from the start."

Then Mas Dwi pulled me in his arms. He heard his breathing hunting. It's still so emotional. I gently rubbed Mas Dwi's back, hoping that she could calm down soon. Actually I was curious about Sister Julia, I'm sure she's very sorry about what she did. But, is there no longer a longing for Sister Julia from this family?
